BI content activation issue during implementation

Hi,
I am trying to activate the BI content for the 0FM_AREA InfoObject in BW 7.0. We are usning 3.X datasources from an ECC 6.0 system. I am getting several warning messages when trying a simulation of the install for the transfer rules of 0FM_AREA_ATTR and 0FM_AREA_TEXT. One of the warning messages is, "Field FIKRS not delivered by source system -> Deleted from rule". The others are similar, but for other fields. Can anyone tell me why this warning is happening?
I have combed the web for information and have doubled checked all of the suggested remedies and none are changing the messages. Should I be activating using a differnt method such as through Object Types or Packages? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Mark S.

Personally, when I activate Business Content I tend to just ignore all warnings and even errors... I mean, take note of them, run the activation and when it is completed then I go and check all the newly activated objects... I don't even bother in doing a Simulation...
There's a big deal of dependencies during this process and sometimes some of those errors are not real problems when you analyze them... From Business Content component version in BW and ECC to dependencies on objects already active but that for some reason are not detected...
In your case, try to reactivate the datasource in ECC (RSA5, transfer datasource) for the infoobject, replicate it in BW and try the activation again... If you get the warnings still just finish the activation and then review/fix manually any missing links or objects...
Just my opinion...

Statistics technical content activation issue with MD process chain in BI7

Hi,
Let me give you history of the issue first.
I had to activate the Statistics in BI7. I followed the SAP Note 965386 and activated the Technical Content.
Faced activation issues in MD process chain, Content Master Data-0TCT_MD_C_FULL_P01. It dint get activated, Followed the SAP note 1065919, which asked me to remove the below process from RSPC and activate it.
Load data- Process Variant Attribute and
Load data- Process Variant Text.
I did the same and it got activated after removing them.
Issue is. Later knew that manually activating the Process chain from Content would have activated those Infopackages aswell.
Now how should I get those processes into the chain and activate? Based on your suggestions, I can let you know what all I have been trying to fix it?
Relying on you for solution.
Thanks
Pavan

Thank You Neethika,
I have this issue solved. I replicated the data sources, activated those infoPackages manually and then added those variants into the process chain manually. So my MD chain now has all the necessary process.
Now i need to schedule them and see if it runs with out any errors. I will keep this thread open till i run it to take your help if i get any errors while running them.
Thanks

Issue during Implementation SAP APPL Patch 26

Hi All,
I am getting this issue while importing a patch.
The import was stopped, since an error occurred during the phase
DDIC_IMPORT, which the Support Package Manager is unable to resolve
without your input.
After you have corrected the cause of the error, continue with the
import by choosing Support Package -> Import queue from the initial
screen of the Support Package Manager.
The following details help you to analyze the problem:
-   Error in phase: DDIC_IMPORT
-   Reason for error: TP_FAILURE
-   Return code: 0008
-   Error message: A tool used by tp produced errors
Thanks

Business content activation in fresh implementation

Dear gurus
Kindly excuse me if its an old cliched topic...I am new to implementation and i have been assigned to an end-to-end implementation project..my early work would be to know if standard business content available in BI will suffice our requirement or not....kindly guide as to how proceed from very beginning..what should i do first and yes since i will have to activate the entire flow in BI...how to go about it....i dont know what all ia should ask...kindly help with your suggestions..

Hi:
Please refer to the presentation by Jie Deng, "Presenting SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence Content"
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a017bf61-d61c-2a10-958e-ab18f4e92fbd?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Observe that is mandatory to install objects from the bottom up, so it is safer to activate small groups of objects, this way it is also easier to determine the causes of errors and make the appropriate corrections. Basically you need to install the objects in the sequence shown on slide 14.
- Extractor
- InfoObject
- InfoSource
- Transfer Rules (or Transformation Rules for Dataflows available in version 7.0).
- Update Rules (or Transformation Rules for Dataflows available in version 7.0).
- ODS
- Update Rules (or Transformation Rules for Dataflows available in version 7.0).
- InfoCubes
- MultiProviders
- etc, etc..
Also pay special attention to the Section 3 "Activation of SAP BW Business Content" (slides 85 - 107).
There's another presentation by Jie Deng that provides related information.
"Session ID: IM204 Guidelines for Implementing SAP NetWeaver BI Business Content in a Customer System"

Is anyone else experiencing screen activation issues during calls?

I got my iPhone in the first batch from VF. Since then I have not experienced any of the issues reported as common faults such as the signal loss - however, I have a new one - the screen on the phone activates itself after a length of time (sometimes a while into a call, sometimes after only a couple of minutes) - this means, when I am happily chatting away the screen activates and my face is happily touching all the buttons on the screen - majority of the 'end call' button! At first I thought I was going crazy, maybe it was me holding it funny, but now I know I'm not!
After doing a bit of googling a few o2 users have reported this issue too - does anyone else have this problem?
Its very irritating. For example, last night I was on the phone to my partner, and the call ended twice - the first time I actually managed to type out a very garbled email to someone!!

It's the proximity sensor, and there are hundreds of posts on here about it. It's not affecting every device, so make an appointment with an Apple Genius, pop instore and get it swapped out.

Critical Issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive

Can anybody tell me one of the most critical/ challenging issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive
in these modules:-
MM implementation
PP implementation
SD implementation
FI/CO implementation
PS implementation
QM implementation
HR implementation
BI implementation
XI implementation
Thanks and regards
RS

hi,
I will list out few of critical issues in
Implementation :
1 . Ensure 100% mapping of business process for all modules with SAP(avoid customization in support phase)
2. Unit & Integeration testing should be through with all validations
3. Master datas(Vendor,Customer) care must be taken will uploading datas thru LSMW,
If there are common vendors for all plants,Create a vendor for a plant extend it to other plants
4. Check tax procedures are customized according to requirements.
5. Complete all print document customizations before go live
6. Complete end user training(2 or more cycles) should be top priority before go live(This will avoid
cancellation/reversal of documents after post go live)
7. Ready with standard MIS reports & customized reports for business decision making
8. Excise opening balance updation in tables for RG1 register in tables(Note 951955) on go live
9. Check all tables datas are updating correctly
10. Declare go live to SAP Support
11. Check All user authorization should be correct according to their roles.
12. Centeralize all master datas creation(avoid duplication)
13. Create transaction variants to avoid entires in unnecessary fields & make certain fields mandatory.
14. Ensure document numbering is completed for all documents
15. Validate accounting entries are hit properly according to requirement in quality client with FI CTM(Core team member).
After Go live :
1. Missing authorization for users will play key part here,For ex : PGI while doing delivery,Excise capture & post in MIGO/J1IEX.
2. Do internal audit every month,identify transactions if there will possibility for misuse or wrong entries,requires validation,identify users weak in certain areas.
3. Identify there is enhancements to be done in transaction process(By step-2)
4. Prepare a list of month & year end activities to be performed for all modules give to users
5. Prepare a list of frequently used transaction codes module wise give it to users
6. If there is subcontracting,ensure challan creation,GR,reconcillation should be done regulary(monthly)
7. Train the users,take reports in respective modules.
8. Additonal customization might be done in print documents.
9. Instruct users/CTM's to adapt SAP Standard practise
10. Update excise tax rates after every indian budget
Hope it helps.

How do you log SAP vendor activity performed during an OSS Connection?

Hello Everyone,
What is the best and cost effective way to log SAP vendor activity while they are connected to perform OSS related work?
The environment under review provides an OSS SAP support ID and password to the vendor to facilitate the authentication, however, no security audit logging is performed. The SAP team is raising performance issues as the reason why the logging is not turned on.
Is there a way to restrict the security logging only to the OSS support ID and also determine the activity performed during the session? Basically, how can the internal team know that an unauthorized activity was performed during the connection and / or someone made several failed attempts to authenticate through the OSS connection?
Thank you.

It also records the GUI event and is regardless of the success of starting the activity, let alone completing it.
In my books it is "fluffy" security which is inherently flawed for the purpose you are using it for. The main reason for the records is response times.
It only works because authorization concepts are sometimes inherently flawed in their implementation as well.... so people believe what they see...
But for forensics it is usefull IF you are fast enough...
Cheers,
Julius

Automating Goods issue during Delivery creation

Hi all,
We have a requirement to automate the Goods issue creation for certain type of orders when the Delivery is getting created. The orders that need to be automatically Goods issued during delivery creation are identified based on certain plants. These plants are linked to certain output type and in the output type routine is the standard program RVADEK01 with one additonal code for automating the Goods Issue creation.
We have a custom table that holds the status of orders and there is a code in user exit userexit_save_document_prepare which changes the status of the order as closed when the goods issue is done.
But when the delivery is saved, in this case when an automatic goods issue needs to happen, when the flow reaches this user exit, the output type code dosenot get executed and the Goods issue is not done and so the custom table will not be updated with the closed status. So we are in need to findout a place where we can update the status of the order in that table.
The output type code is not executed even before the other user exit userexit_save_document. The output type code gets executed and goods issue is done after the this userexit_save_document when the COMMIT statement is executed in the subroutine BELEG_SICHEN_POST in the include FV50XF0B_BELEG_SICHERN.
I need help in finding out if any user exit or badi is called after this commit statement, so that I can add my code to close the status of the order in my custom table. Just after this commit the Goods issue happens and the VBFA table gets updated with the 'R' records for goods issue.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea on this. The ultimate goal is to find some place after the goods issue is done to update the status of the order as closed in the custom table we have.
Thanks,
Packia

Dear Siva,
As informed yesterday I changed the language from DE to EN, to match the other shipping points settings in table V_TVST, this did not bring the solution.
Please let me summarize, I am really desparate here:
This is only IM related, Not WM.
Picking lists are not printed for any Shipping Point from this warehouse, this is just a small subsidiary of my customer in Finland.
Issue is not Aut. PGI.
VP01SHP has not been configured for any shipping points, still there we do get the PR except for the new shipping point.
In the deliveries of correct processed shipping points I do not find any picking output type.
Item category in new shipping is equal to Item category in already existing shipping points, so no need to config here.
There is no picking block active.
PR creation happens once I enter the pick qty in the delivery in VL02N. This is the part that we need to have automated.
Can you please try to help me out?
Tnx & regards,
Chris

How to capture content activity log from DMP?

Hi There,
I try to implement content activity log from DMP. The information that I want to get are DMP IP, Conent File Name (video or jpg file), open date/time. The only way that I can do is sending http command direct to DMP (http.file via port 7777).
Is it possible to implement Syslog server to get those information from DMP?
Thank you
Panya

Hi Panya,
There is a feature called "Proof Of Play" which was created exactly to track what the DMPs are playing, you can find the documentation at the following link:

Issue during Save - BDT

Hi All,
I have added 2 custom fields in the additional tab of the BP transaction using BDT.
I have enhanced the table BUT000 with the above two fields using append structure.
But now i got following few issues during saving the BP.
1) Not able to save those two custom field values in the corresponding table of BUT000.
     As i was new to BDT could any one guide me how to save the custom field information in BDT?
2) If I am changing any one of the fields and trying to save for any existing BP,
      It was throwing a message saying 'No changes done to the transaction'.
      Here the Transaction was not recognizing the fields even if the changes done.
      Could any one please let me know how to handle this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gopi.

Hi,
1> Did you implement function module for DSAVE event? Check if you have different names for the field in the BDT table and the database table in the BDT setting
Assign field to DB
2> You need to write a function module for XCHNG event and export 'X' after checking the old and new memory for changes. This will correct the message.
Thanks and warm regards,
Smita.

BI Content Activation & Installation

Hi Experts,
                 Could you please ellaborate all steps(R/3 Side & BW Side) involved in Business Content Activation(interms of D,M,A Version) and Installation.Thank you.
Vasanth.D

Hi Vasanth,
To specify which objects you want to install from BI Content or transport using the BI transport connection, you collect the relevant objects in the BI Content or Transport Connection (transaction RSOR) functional areas of the Data Warehousing Workbench
Note
Since BI Content is highly integrated, you should familiarize yourself with the procedures for collecting BI Content.
Avoid collecting BI Content objects from application areas that you do not want to use. If you collect BI Content objects that you do not need, you waste time and increase the number of active, but unused, objects in your BI system.
Prerequisites
●      You are familiar with the dependencies between BI object types. This knowledge is essential to be able to create consistent requests.
More information: Object Dependencies and Consistency
●      To copy BI Content to the active version: You have replicated the source systems for which you want to install source system-dependent BI Content. The delivery versions (pseudo D versions) are not available to the source system-dependent objects until after this replication.
More information:
Structure link Replication of DataSources
Special Features of Source System-Dependent Objects
Procedure
1. Specify the target source systems
If you also want to collect source system-dependent objects, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Source System Assignment to specify the source systems for which you want to collect objects. Only those objects that are assigned to the selected source systems are collected. If you want to collect source system-dependent objects but have not selected a source system, the dialog box for assigning source systems is displayed automatically.
Recommendation
We recommend that you only select those source systems that you require; otherwise, you may have to wait longer than required when objects are collected.
Note
This setting is particularly relevant when you activate BI Content because you use it to specify for which source systems you want to activate BI Content.
When you transport objects, you specify the target source systems in the target system for the transport. In this case, the setting is required to specify for which source systems the objects are to be exported.
More information: Defining the Target Source System
2. Group objects to be included
In the This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Grouping selection list in the right screen area, specify which objects are to be included. The groupings combine the objects from a scenario. By default, only those objects are collected that are essential to activate an object. If you also want to collect the objects that are required to activate all other objects that are collected at the same time, you can select the relevant option:
●      Only Necessary Objects (default setting)
●      In Data Flow Before
●      In Data Flow Afterwards
●      In Data Flow Before and Afterwards
Note
If you change the default setting, the new setting becomes the default setting for your user.
Caution
The grouping option selected has a significant impact on system performance while the objects are collected.
We recommend the following alternative for installing BI Content:
○       Collect objects for roles In Data Flow Before and install the collected objects.
○       Collect objects for InfoCubes and InfoProviders In Data Flow Before and install the collected objects. Finally, collect objects In Data Flow Afterwards and reinstall.
More information:
Defining Grouping Mode
Object Dependencies and Consistency
3. Specify the collection mode for objects
In the Collection Mode selection list in the right screen area, specify how you want to collect the objects.
●      Collect Automatically (default setting): The data is collected as soon as the objects are selected.
●      Start Manual Collection: The data is not collected until you choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Collect Dependent Objects.
Recommendation
Set the collection mode to Start Manual Collection. This allows you to select all the objects without having to wait.
4. Determine view of objects
In the left navigation window, specify which criteria you want to use to display the objects that you are collecting to install as BI Content or to transport.
If you selected a particular view in the left navigation window, the available objects are selected and arranged in the tree structure in the center screen area as follows:
View of Objects in Left Navigation Window
Display of Objects in Tree Structure in Center Screen Area
This graphic is explained in the accompanying text InfoProviders by InfoAreas
List of InfoCubes and DataStore objects, sorted by InfoArea
This graphic is explained in the accompanying text InfoObjects by Application Component
List of InfoObjects, sorted by InfoObject catalog and by InfoArea
This graphic is explained in the accompanying text InfoSources by Application Component
List of InfoSources for master data and transaction data
This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Roles
List of standard roles and industry roles
This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Object Types
List of the most important objects according to types
This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Objects in BI Patch
List of the BI patches installed, including a list of the new and modified objects delivered with each patch.
This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Transport Request
The Select Request/Task dialog box appears. Choose the request that you want to use.
This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Packages
List of packages containing SAP objects
5. Specify display mode for collection objects
In the Display selection list in the right screen area, specify whether the collected objects are to be displayed as a hierarchy or a list.
Recommendation
We recommend that you display the objects as a list if you want to keep a clear overview of the collected objects. If you want to identify why a specific object was collected or want to work through related objects scenario by scenario, choose the tree display (Hierarchy).
6. Install the objects in Collected Objects
In the center screen area, select the objects that you want to collect, and drag and drop them to the right screen area Collected Objects.
Note
The This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Find Object function allows you to use strings of characters (for example, 0CUST) or wildcard searches (for example, 0CUST_*B) to search for objects.
In the object types view, you can use the input help: By double-clicking the This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Select Objects icon in the tree structure of the corresponding object type, you can display the Input Help for Metadata screen. Select the required objects. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Transfer Selections.
Caution
If you implement SAP Basis Plug-In releases lower than 2005.1 in the source system, you have to copy the BI Content DataSources of this source system to the active version and replicate them to the BI system before you can use them to transfer data.
More information:
Structure linkCopying the BI Content DataSource to the Active Version
Defining Grouping Mode
In the Collected Objects area of the screen, the system displays the selected objects and all their dependent objects. Collected objects are stored by default in the repository cache. This reduces the time it takes to access these objects when you want to use them again.
Note
When you copy objects to the Collected Objects screen area, these objects are also added to the tree structure of the corresponding object type in the center screen area and are stored for your user. This personal object list is available for each user every time the program is started.
If you want to remove objects from your personal list, select the objects that you want to remove and choose Remove Object from Display in the context menu or choose the corresponding icon.
Objects that are used by other objects are only displayed as changeable in the tree display for collected objects the first time they are listed. Any further instances of these objects are grayed out so you cannot modify them. If you need to edit the object, switch to the list display for collected objects.
7. Check the setting in the Collected Objects screen area
Check the settings for the BI Content installation or transport.
More information: Checking Settings
Result
You can now install the BI Content or start the transport.

Real time critical issues in Implementation Project

Hi friends
Please send me the *Real time critical issues in Implementation and Development Projects*
Thanks
Srikanth Reddy.P

Hi
Blue Print: Assume the client is already having sound legacy system in place.
Also assume that all the processes in FICO are neatly documented with visios.
Now study those process flows and prepare a list of sub processes.
Now prepare the fits/gaps/ assessment.
If the process fits into SAP it would be a fit. If an enhancement / modification is required, it goes into the red column.
Record all the discussions with the core users against each process and sub process.
Also list down the dependencies for each process / analyse the integration aspects.
Also plan how you would convert the legacy data into SAP.
The whole document should have illustrations / scenarios and ultimately signed off. This at any cost should not be changed unless, there is a total turnaround in the process requirements.
With the finalised blue print, you could start the activities in the implementation.
Now regarding the interview questions:
- Starts with your resume. How you have projected yourself. Have you shown real time experience or faked up projects. In any case, it is very easy to make out whether you have experience in implementation or support environment. You could never fool the interviewer.
Initially the interviewer would try to make an assessment on your genuinity.
- When did the implementation start?
- When did it GOLIVE?
- Were you involved in the end to end implementation or was it a partial role?
-If you are supporting the client, who implemented SAP?
- What tool do you use to track the support activities?
- How many tickets have you handled so far?
- Name some critical issues which you resolved and without which the production or business got affected?
- What is the system landscape ?
-Have you developed any reports / enhancements / technical / functional designs?
- Are you aware of interfaces / ALE / IDOCs ?
- Are you aware of SLAs
- Rate yourself on a rank of 1 to 10 in FI and CO
- How often have you interacted with client during implementation / support?
- What process designs have been prepared by you?
- How do you react when you get a critical issue or cross modular issues?
And so on and on
Hope this helps

Technical content activation for BI STAT and Admin cockpit

Hi friends,
I am going to setup the IMG call for BI STAT and Admin cockpit. If i run the technical content activation will i need a precaution for other data loading. If i run them in background does it affects other data loads. did i need to take down time for the whole system?
After the implemntation did i need to load data for all infoproviders in quality system.

Hello Suresh,
I am not clear on all your questions.
In general, technical content process chains load data similiar to other BI process chains.
if your system is productive for a longer period already ( > 6 months ), there may be a lot of
BI statistics data generated and this will take a longer time to load the technical content cubes during the initial load.
Otherwise, it should not affect system performance.
It is better to schedule them daily to avoid huge data loads.
But these are only guidelines. It depends on your need.
You would need to do separately for quality and production system, if you want the BI stats in those systems. This is similiar to any other Data load and cube and content in BI.
Thanks,
Bilal
