BPC MS 7.0 ; Is there a guideline for max. no. of dimensions per app?

I need to know if there is guideline for maxumum no. of dimensions per application? i have been hearing that there should be 8 to 11 dimensions per application? Is this SAP recommended? or is this a best practice?

Hi Sudhir,
As per Nilanjan's reply below, the maximum dimension per application is 20.
But, the more dimension you create in the application, the higher the effort to maintain it, i.e. when creating input templates/ reports, etc. So, define your dimension carefully.

Liam

Guideline for max # of levels in rules?

Hi everyone,
I have two general discussion questions that I'm curious about:
1) Do you use a general guideline for the number of levels you use in your rules? and
2) If so--what are the reasons behind that guideline?
I recall hearing that limiting rules to 3 levels deep is a good practice to follow. However, I don't really know the reasoning behind that.
I find that my rules are easily reaching 5 or 6 levels deep when modelling legislation. And if I were to limit the depth of my rules by making premises conclusions in their separate rules, I'll find my rules to be scattered.
I'm interested to know about your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Isamu

Hi,
1) I think there is no generic guideline on maximum number of levels as such. The number of levels usually depend upon the complexity of rules that you are writing.
2) Although it is recommended to avoid deep nesting of complex rules so that the rules are easier to understand and maintain.
Also, if a rule is simple but has some premises which can be reused in large number of other rules then it is better to separate out those intermediate goals into independent conclusions (and these re-usable rules can be kept in some common rules file).
Example:
RULE 1:
the applicant is eligible for the benefits if
    the applicant is a male and
    the applicant satisfies the salary criteria
        the applicant’s salary > 500 and
        the applicant’s salary <= 5000
RULE 2:
the benefit amount for the applicant = 0.25 * the applicant’s salary if
    the applicant satisfies the salary criteria
RULE 1 can be written as:
RULE 1
the applicant is eligible for the benefits if
    the applicant is a male and
    the applicant satisfies the salary criteria
the applicant satisfies the salary criteria if
    the applicant’s salary > 500 and
    the applicant’s salary <= 5000
As fas as scattering of rules is concerned, i would suggest:
1. Keep all the rules belonging to one section of legislation/policy in one document
For example you can have one rule document per section of the legislation
2. Keep all the rules common across sections in another document
Thanks.

Is there any API for connecting web server and iphone apps

Hi,
I have to retrieve data from Web Server and display in my iphone apps. I want to know that is there any API through which i can connect my apps to server and get data.
One way i know that use NSURLConnection and get XML response and prase it and use it like that.
So anyone know this?
Thanks.

NSURLConnection is straightforward to use. In the mobile world, and especially if you intend to use certain google APIs, I would rather tend to use JSON instead of XML. A great JSON parser for objective-c is here: http://code.google.com/p/json-framework/

Is there a guideline for having # of Parallels?

Hi.
I'm trying to speed up the PL/SQL proc with
ALTER TABLE A PARALLEL 10;
ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML;
Question - I tried changing 10 to 30, but the Enterprise Mgr shows longer estimates...is there a way to gauge how many sessions should be used?
Thanks,

As far as I know setting the degree of parallelism for a table is a bit of trial and error. Its limited by the number of parallel query servers available; you can find the number available from the V$PARAMETER view. Its also dependent on the number of processors your box has.
By the way, parallelism is not the answer to every problem. I've seen it help in situations involving partitioning, full table scans, and sorting. I've also seen it do nothing and sometimes make queries run more slowly. Try using the parallel hint in the queries you expect it to be use specifying the degree before altering the table.
Good luck!

Are there keyboard shortcuts for switching to desktops with fullscreen apps?

Coming from SL, one functionality that I used a lot was keyboard shortcuts to go to different applications.
For instance, I had assigned Mail to Space 2, iTunes to Space 3 etc.
Then it was possible to instantly go to Mail by pressing alt-2, to iTunes with alt-3 etc.
In Lion, it is possible to assign Applications to desktops, and use the same commands to go to these desktops. However, as soon as an application is 'fullscreened' it leaves its previous desktop, and cannot be reached with the old keyboard shortcuts.
My question:
is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut to switch to a desktop containing a fullscreen app?

This is quite possible. The way to do it is with keyboard shortcuts. If you check the appropriate boxes you can use a keyboard combination of Control and the Desktop #. It makes it very easy to swtich between desktops.

ABAP Guidelines for transfer rules & Update rules

Is there any guidelines for abap when using it for transfer rules and update rules? I am looking for some best practise in this area.
Thank you,

There is no specific differences in the standards/coding procedure for Transfer Vs. Update Rulse.
This can only come from a combination of requirement, design and experience! (in no particular order)
for e.g.
If the converions are the same for all data targets, you would use the transfer routine, start routine in the Transfer rules.
If the converions are different for different data targets, you would use the update routine, start routine in the Update rules.
Key concerns being performance, modularization, reduced effort and ease of maintenance.
Not sure I have answered you question! Please get back if there is something specific you are interesed in (a scenario perhaps!)

Guidelines for when to use SE vs. EE

Are there any guidelines for when to use Standard Edition and when to use Enterprise Edition? Any limits on Standard edition as far as transactions/sec or number of users or size of database? Other than a list features that are not included in SE are there any other limitiations or reasons I should not go with SE over EE?

Have you checked out www.javaworld.com. They usually have very good and in-depth articles. IMHO, it all depends on the sort of use your library is intended for. If its used extensively by native code, use C++ with a Java wrapper. It its the other way around, implement it in Java and use a JNI interface for native code. I would really consider this carefully before implementing stuff in C++ that is used from Java. First of all, Java is after all much simpler than C++, its a more elgant OO-language and you have the platform neutrality. On the other hand, C++ has its sides. I dont use JNI unless its absolutely neccessary, in situations like using legacy code.
These are just a few of my thoughts, hope it gives you some hints.

Are there any guidelines on how to customize R/3 reports into BW

Hi Everyone,
I have quite a number of R/3 reports that is required to be converted into a BW report but I do not know what I am supposed to do.
Are there any guidelines on how to determine if a R/3 report should be created in BW? If it should be done in BW, how do I consider if it should be reported of a cube or an ODS?
I have been doing development for ard 3years and this is the first time I have to analyze and come up with a functional/design specs. Need help.
If there is any documents on the guidelines, please send it to [email protected]
Thanks.
Regards,
Shunhui.

Hi Shunhui
TABS -> here Venkat was refering to SAP education courses on BW on extraction,reporting etc.
I am not aware if there are any guidelines given by SAP.
I will try to help you build the approrach for this:-
1. You should collect functional specification of R/3 report. This will include the functionality of that report, logic & calculations involved, usage of report output by end users etc.
2. Collect technical specification- In this you create excel sheet with all fields in R/3 report with relevant details such as formulas used, calculations involved etc.
3.Map these technical specs with BW business content. Try to see if you can get Business content datasource which will be a fit for majority of your R/3 report fields.
4.Carry out gap analysis and end of this excerise determine how you are going to fill this gap - whether buy using Zinfoobject,routines,datasource enhancements etc.
5.Classify the reports as Aggregate or transactional level. If it is transactional level then you need to make use of ODS.This will determine your data model in BW.
6.Based on 5 steps mentioned above,create a design document with dataflow & data model details.
7. Get a Sign off on functional,technical specs & design document with proposed dataflow from users and implement it.
For templates of functional & technical specs , you can refer to blueprint section of Accelerated SAP.
Hope this helps

Are there any set guidelines for customer master data cleansing.

1) I was wondering if there are any set guidelines for customer master data cleansing.
2) Part of the cleansing effort involves consolidating number of divisions etc. Any pointers to this regard?
3) Also how do we deal with open docs, billing plans etc?

The data cleansing requirement will take place, while move the data from legacy system to new target ERP / system. I.e. need to cleanse, enrich, de-duplicate, & standardize.
The existing data may not have consistent format since it is often being derived from various sources. It may contain duplicate information as well missing or incomplete information. Cleanse and normalize content to achieve accuracy, consistency and proper understanding of the data.
Also its a process of organizing the data, which will ensure enrichment of your data which are up-to-date, accurate, and complete. These processes are manual / labor intensive and require a fair bit of specialization.
If you need to have more details please feel free to interact with us as per below.

Are there best practices or guidelines for CP 8 quizzes via Connect?

I'd like to add quizzes and feedback forms to Adobe Connect meetings and events (no learning module) and before investing time to explore how to best do this, wondered if there are guidelines, hint/tips, or best practices out there?
If the meeting has multiple folks, would they each be on their own quiz? how and where do the results appear? Is it possible without the connect learning module ?
I've also run across EduGameCloud and not sure if that would be a viable alternative or not - any experience?

Hi There,

Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration?

Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration? Do we have any Instructions/steps?

Migration from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 can be performed. If the customer wants to migrate data you need to first upgrade to NCS 1.1.1 You can download NCS 1.1.1 from Cisco.com if you have a valid service contract.
For the migration step involving NCS an evaluation license is sufficient. You can obtain an NCS evaluation license from http://www.cisco.com/go/license > Get Demo > Network Mgmt Products > Cisco Prime NCS Evaluation License.
Instructions for migrating data from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.1.1 are available in NCS 1.1.1 Release Notes. Do not upgrade to NCS 1.1.2 as this release is not upgradeable to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. If you are ordering a Cisco Prime physical appliance (PRIME-NCS-APL-K9) be sure to select the NCS 1.1 image which you can later upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 after you have migrated your WCS data.
There is a post in the support forum which can be refered.

Guidelines for setting Application Module Pool Size Parameters?

Are there guidelines for setting the application module pool size parameters, such as initial pool size, maximum pool size, etc., based on the expected number of users or other factors? I've read the developer guide sections (ch 28-29), but still don't have a good feel for how to correctly set the optimal values for the pool configuration parameters? Even more importanty, how do I monitor the pool's efficiency during runtime to determine if the pooling parameters are configured correctly?
This will be critical to performance and scalability, so I'm looking for a way to get some visibility into how the pooling is working during production operation to assess whether there are bottlenecks/constraints/ineffeciencies?
Note I am using Tomcat as the java runtime container; ADF BC / JSF jdev 10.1.3.1
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

KUBA - were you able to resolve these issues and if so are there any lessons learned you can share?
I'm hoping someone from the ADF team can answer our original question including guidelines for setting pool parameters and how to monitor the pool's performance while running in production.
thanks

Guidelines for deciding directory structure for Swing Application

Hi,
We are developing a Swing Application for our organization. We want to organize the code and resources/icons/properties files in correct manner.
We have guidelines for arranging the code for web application. Is there any such guidelines available for desktop application as well? What is the preferred location for keeping the icons and properties files?
Regards,
Manu

Thanks Maran.
I have already checked many installation guides before posting here. All of them mention about creating folders like /admin or /oradata on various mount points but none of the naming conventions really indicate whether it is a 8i database or a 10g database.
This is required when you are having multiple Oracle installations under /opt and databases are running from different mount points.
