BI Production Support Value Adds

Hi,
I am working on a just started bi production support. There are not much activities as of now but I intend to bring in more work. I need to propose some value addition to the work process apart from just monitoring of chains. For ex. setting up error alert mechanism through process chains, performance improvement techniques etc. Would appreciate if you could share in detail with me more things that could be considered as value adds to clients. Thanks.

Hello,
As this is an assignment which has started just now, you can look at following additional value adds:
1. Looking through all the Update rules or Transformations and finding ABAP codes written inside which are time consuming.
2. Finding out queries which are not used for last say 4 months. Deleting them with concents of users.
3. Old Process chain log deletion
4. Recommendations for PSA deletion for Full loads & optimizing data base size.
5. Improving Query run time with std techniques.
6. Some Training materials for End users how to use reporting + user Manuals for Data load Monitoring
Hope this will give some points to start up the Value added activities.

How can i add fields to a cube which is in production support

hi,
how can i add fiels to a cube which is in production support.

Hi Maruthi
You need to add new fields to cube in Development system and then transport it to production after testing.
Edit cube in RSA1. Add the new infoobjects from right hand directory to left hand pane and assign these new infoobjects to suitable dimensions. Save and activate the infocube. Now go to change update rules for this infocube and do proper mapping of these infoobjects.
Save & activate the update rules.
RSA1-> Transport connection-> select cube, update rules and related objects and create transport request.
After testing is done, give the transport request number to your Basis person and he will do the transports for you.

Hello!
I have a similar question. I have added a custom field to PO item overview. My field is of 25 Char and I have maintained values in Domain Value Range.
Ex: ZORDTYPE (25 Chars)
1 Repair
2 Professional Serv.
When I am in change mode, I see value as "1-Repair". However, when I am in display mode I only see "1".
Any ideas on how I can fix this.
Thanks in advance.

Send meLO's intutive diagram and some of errors in production support

<b>send me LO's intutive diagram and some of errors in production support and also process chain types and error</b>

Some Errors in Production support:
--Loading any of the missing master data attributes/texts - This would be done by scheduling the infopackages for the attributes/texts mentioned by the client.
--Create ADHOC hierarchies. - Create hierarchies in RSA1 for the info-object.
--Validating the data in Cubes/ODS. - By using the Validation reports or by comparing BW data with R/3.
--If any of the load runs into errors then resolve it. - Analyse the error and take suitable action.
--Add/remove fields in any of the master data/ODS/Cube. - Depends upon the requirement
--Datasource Enhancement.
--Create ADHOC reports. - Create some new reports based on the requirement of client

Portege M400 and the Toshiba valued add

Hi..
I want to installed the toshiba driver package valued add (power meter tool etc) in my Win7.
But if i try to install it the setup routine says, that i havent a Toshiba Notebook or my Bios is to low for that.
I have Bios Version 3.80 and i doesnt find any newer Bios version for the M400
any ideas about the error message?
regards

I can just imagine your old Portege m400 is not Win7 supported.
Where you downloaded VAP for your notebook model when M400 is not on the list for Win7 drivers?

Usability Testing : My #1 "Value-Add" at ASUG Annual Conference & SAPPHIRE

There are dozens of reasons to go to ASUG Annual Conference & SAPPHIRE every year -SAP Education, Networking, Best-Practices and "Real World" SAP Customer Stories and Lessons Learned can easily fill your day...BUT my #1 "Value-Add" every year is to carve-out some time to take part in SAP Usability Testing sessions.
It is a great opportunity to get "Hands-On" with Future-Releases of SAP Products, and help guide the User Experience of SAP tools.
SAP Usability Testing sessions run for 60-minutes, and need to be booked in Advance, as you need to sign some non-disclosure and feedback documents.
You are partnered-up with another Customer/Client of SAP and walked through some different scripted-scenarios (eg. Enter a Travel Approval Request, Run a Report for your Division, etc) based on the Module that you are looking at. There are a couple of SAP staff with you - and they are also recording your Mouse-Clicks, Screen-Captures and everything you say as you walk-through the process.
This Feedback process is REAL - and it actually works to improve future SAP tools. Suggestions that we made about SAP Business Object Central Management Console in 2011, became the SAP BOBJ BI 4.1 System Configuration Wizard in 2013.
Sometimes there are "follow-up" calls (or web sessions) after the Conference where the team will show you how the processes have been changed since your SAP Usability Testing session.
The Full-List of SAP Usability Testing sessions in Orlando is listed below...Sign-up Early as Spaces are LIMITED.

N97 product support?

Hi
Not been able to find proper product support on the Nokia site, just “usually asked questions, manuals and client discussions”. Any suggestions on how to get a Nokia person to answer questions to a client instead of clients having to search for other clients possibly knowing what to do? It would be much easier than to turn in the phone on a guarantee “repair?”. Many issues; during first 6 months already several software updates, phone memory constantly full, blue tooth does not work properly with PC, …

Having dad first hand experience with many Nokia N series such as N70, N71, N73, N80, N81, N91, N93, N95, N96, N97 and now proud owner of the N900, Here is my 2 cents.
N97 seems to be for those folks who 're not going to load it up with as many SW and Apps. I went through (3) N97 and finally realized that unlike my old N95 it was not bullet proof and reliable. So, if you own the N97, keep it as original as possible with minimum number of progams and it should work much better. But as far as upgrade if you are heavy web user, like to have power over what you install and how you install it plus if you want to be able to play almost any kind of video, use the built-in SIP function and want a fast respond speed (screen and all) + have the ability to right your own stuff (which is somewhat cool if you know how to) then N900 is the one. The speed, reliability and versatility of N900 is unbeatable (and it dont crash, freeze and give you headache because you spend $500+ on something that dont work proeprly). The screen has one of the best resoutions for a PDA/Mobile to date and it shows when you see it. The only issues I may add is that N900 is more of a Computer based PDA than Mobile base PDA. Meaning that as Mobile phone being used to the Symbian short cuts and their ease of use and friendly configurable menu, N900 lacks that. Like your PC, everything is in some order of alphabet or date, etc and it stays that way. N900 has 4 home screens that scrolls and loops make it possible to put lots of short cuts. One of the best thing about N900 is its open source SW, making it possible for yourself or any individual to write usefull programs (and they are coming out pretty fast).
However there is something about use of touchscreen which at first attracts everyone (such as iphone buyers) but its not for everyone. I personally prefer the pointer and mouse/scroll device use over the touch device. How many times are you going to try to hit the touch screen button before you get it correctly and it works. With the pointer and scroll it is effortless and much easier. My personal preference Nokia Model to date is the N95. The functions, ease of use and bullet proof (ness) of N95 is very hard to beat. It is an old phone but it still works perfectly as mobile phone, PDA, web browser (Ok, if you use Skyfire), great MP3 and video player, document viewer, one of the best GPS devices when using Google Map and last but not least the best camera for a mobile device (It has extended zoom which is not available on N97 or N900, not sure if X6 has it and clarity of the photos is unbelievably crisp, clear and colorful). Forgot to mention that unlike N97 and N900, The N95 built-in speakers are loud enough to hear phone converstions or music in a moving car. It beats me to why Nokia has degraded important features like this one on their "FLAGSHIP {$600} PHONES"
BTW, My friend just switched from N97 to X6 and he loves it, but........ I for one still like to use my N95 because it works and has yet to crash, freeze, break down and fail me. I can always rely on it, always.

could anyone please guide me about what career path i should choose ?
DBA , i have heard is montonous job too with same routine backups,no creativity with nightshifts and all, but it is more stable as people said. I have no experiance of it.
second devolper track in sql/pl sql having its own limitations like less demand, less financial growth etc. and people usually wants to shift in other area like BO
i don`t have any info about others areas like that i would like to explore
1)Datawarehousing
2)Oracle apps
3)Business objects (BO reporting)
4)Oracle CRM etc
5)Others (thats all i know,please add some others if they are creative )
Problem area:
1)iam really confused now which way to choose development or support?
2)how to jump in other company on what basis after total experience of 2 years? Since iam in prod support they will hire me for the same again
3)How could i get to others areas like CRM,BO datawarehouse,apps ?As they more demanding and good learning and future path
4)what to do right now at this position to enhance my skill set in this field (What to learn? )
preparing for OCA right now but uncertain for career.
My work seems to be dull with just monitoring of task,some project related occasional issues in oracle ,ticket making and self learning (wat to learn? sql daily! )

>
>
second devolper track in sql/pl sql having its own limitations like less demand, less financial growth etc. and people usually wants to shift in other area like BOThere is about 10X more demand for developers than administrators over the long term. Various sub-specialties are hot at various times. But that isn't as important as knowing what excites you.

1)Datawarehousing

3)Business objects (BO reporting)
4)Oracle CRM etc
5)Others (thats all i know,please add some others if they are creative )
Problem area:
1)iam really confused now which way to choose development or support?Most people find development much more exciting. But that depends on what you like and what your skill set is and the support environment. I once had a support job that I loved, until it simply became overwhelming in volume. I've seen support people in jobs that I just pitied, they were so bad. DBA is my real love, what's yours? I have a dev/support/admin job, so even though most work isn't what I would choose, I still get to do what I find exciting. It took a lot of experiences to get to this point, though.
2)how to jump in other company on what basis after total experience of 2 years? Since iam in prod support they will hire me for the same againThat is true, headhunters and HR departments want those with 2 years experience in a specific skill set, because they are cheaper. The trick is to find an environment where you can move to what you want. For many people, that is a development environment, especially if you can find a mentor that can help you move in the direction you want. Of course, you need to define that direction. Life throws all sorts of opportunities at you at random times, you need to be prepared to seize them when they come.
3)How could i get to others areas like CRM,BO datawarehouse,apps ?As they more demanding and good learning and future pathDevelopment and implementation are about it. They all have a future path, some are very boring. What's boring to me may be exciting to you.
4)what to do right now at this position to enhance my skill set in this field (What to learn? )Look at the sites that post job ads in your area. You need a critical eye to translate into what they really want, but it becomes obvious what is hot. Of course, you need to know what will be hot in a couple of years, but if you see what is hot now, you can pick up on those in a couple of years when something else is hot, and eventually catch up.

Please suggest!A lot of work is what you make of it, attitude overrides knowledge. You can always learn, but your attitude comes from within and takes effort to improve.
If you can find something that you like that everyone else thinks is bad, so much the better. That is the essence of geekdome.

Product support for Portege M800

Hi all,
Recently my girlfriend gave me her TOSHIBA M800 laptop. Enlighten me pls as to why I cannot find the model M800 in Toshiba's product support tab?
The models I see there are all 805-XXXXXX.
Is 800 supposed to mean 800 series and that in fact the laptop I am having now is one of those 805-XXXXXX?
I tried to see if any of those M805-XXXXXXX match the model number I see on my laptop but none of it matches. Mine is PPM81L.
I am just trying to find out if my laptop comes with bluetooth.
Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks all!
I found it on the asian page.
I tried to find the manual but cannot locate it. Any kind-hearted soul can teach me how to on the bluetooth?
I read the specifications of my M800 and it states that my laptop does have bluetooth but I have no idea how to turn it on. I turned on the WIFI but I believe it is not the same, because my mobile cannot detect my lappy via bluetooth.
What I am trying to do now is to use my mobile phone as a modem and connect it to my lappy via bluetooth in order for me to surf the internet.
I am currently using windows 7 ultimate.
Any kind hearted soul knows how to do it and is willing to teach me?
Appreciate any kind of help because I am a computer idiot. Thanks.

Re: Portege R830 - Can't find my model on the Product Support list

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Portege R830 and was trying to find the support page for my model.
However on the Product Support list, where you choose the model, I can't find which one is mine.
My model is displayed as *R830-1056UB* on the box the laptop came in and it simply says *Portege R830* on the underside of the laptop.
There are several entries for R830 on the Product Support list, but *R830-1056UB* is not one of them.
*Any ideas how I can decide which one is mine?* (I'm worried about downloading wrong software/drivers for my laptop)
I'm not in a country with a support phone number and it seems Toshiba support don't have an email contact, so I haven't been able to contact Toshiba directly for help.
Thank you in advance for your time and help!
RG

Hello
I dont know which Toshiba support page you have checked but if this notebook is designed for Asian market you should find it on Toshiba Asia support page.
In which country you have bought it?

Production Support for Multiple BI roll-outs

Hello BI Experts,
This might be more of an administrative question, but I will need inputs from Developer's perspective.
We are having 2 implemenation projects going on at the moment. They are sharing same ECC 6.0 & BI 7.0 landscape.
But as the 2 projects "Go-live" timings do not match, we will be having separate "Production Support" landscape for ECC containing separate DEV & QA system which will be used for Post Go-live production fixes.
So there will be 2 DEVs & 2 QAs for ECC & One Production system. At a time, only one QA will be connected to Prodution.
Do we need similar landscape for BI 7.0 or same DEV BI 7.0 can talk with 2 DEVs ECC 6.0 and same QA BI 7.0 can talk with 2 QA ECC 6.0 ?
What are the complexities of one QA BI talking with 2 QA R/3 source systems ??
Thanks,
Bhushan
P.S. We have SAP MDM 5.5 implemented in our landscape which manages master data.

Thanks Ramesh for the reply.
I agree with you it is not complicated from Basis perspective to create RFCs & source system connections.
I would like to know how complicated it would be for BI Developers to manage data coming from 2 very similar ECC6.0 systems and move it across to Production without trouble.
How will they distinguish which objects are of Production support & which objects belong to current development project ?
How we can guarantee that none of the "non-production object"(which is meant for development or prototype) moves to production via some "production-fix" transport ?
Thanks,
Bhushan

MDIS Unmapped Values ADD is not Working Throws errors

Hi Experts,
I have a Qualified table where the Non qualifier is a Lietaral Date field.
Qualified Update -> Update
New links -> Create
Existing Links -> All mapped Fields
MDIS unmapped values -> ADD
All is working well,When the Incoming file has exactly the same NOn qualifier as in Data manager, But when the incoming file has some New non-qualifers then it fails with a value Exception...
1166657856 2011/09/27 16:29:16.326 GMT Importing: 'Samplee_27sep[1].xml.MDM_DATA' Table --> 'CostCentre.CostCentre' Table.
1166657856 2011/09/27 16:29:16.341 GMT Could not create lookups. Source record number: -10, error message : Type mismatch. Invalid field values.
1166657856 2011/09/27 16:29:16.346 GMT Import failed. Could not create lookups. Source record number: -10, error message : Type mismatch. Invalid field values.
Import action: Update (All Mapped Fields)
Source record no: 1
But ideally it should NOT fail as the MDIS Unmapped fields are set to ADD..
I would expect it to Add any new NON qualfiers to QT and add that Link to that Record.
But it is throwing error...
Did anyone face this issue till date???
Kind Regards
Eva
Why is this behaviour..

Hi,
In the Import map as the Non qualifier is the literal date field and in DM i can see they are stored in MM/DD/YYYY format.
The incoming value from the File is also the same format but the Config parameters date format in Import map is different, is this the problem for not adding New dates even though the MDIS unmapped fields are set to ADD..
Also, are Config parameters Specific to Map or Repository Or server!!
i.e if i change a config parameter and save the map.
will the config parameters in all import maps be changed automatically??
Kind Regards
Eva

New install of SQL 2014 Std MSDN. Get "The SQL Server product key is not valid. To proceed, re-enter the product key values from the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or SQL Server packaging."

Trying to install a new version of SQL 2014 Std 64 or x86. Installing on Windows 8.1Pro 64bit machine.
I get:
"TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
The SQL Server product key is not valid. To proceed, re-enter the product key values from the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or SQL Server packaging.
Error code 0x858C0017."
I looked at the summary log and that is the only error.
I made sure there were no other instances of SQL on this machine. Uninstalled all VS2013 and sql instances just in case. IF there is somewhere to check if a previous version or license is causing the issue, i would be glad to check.
Any help would be appreciated.
