Business Context Viewer(BCV) 'tutorial' or 'How To' guide.

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement to develop a webdynpro application with a Business Context Viewer as side panel.
I have read few documentation and other links.. not able to find any 'tutorial' or 'how to' guide.
Please help me in creating this side panel.
Following are the links i have already visited.

Hi Ashok,
It might be too late for your specific task but maybe the following information could help others: Meanwhile, there is an official How-to Guide that describes how to integrate BCV in your own Web Dynpro application. It can be found here:

SEM-Business Consolidation starter question

Hi there,
It`s my first attempt in Business Consolidation, hence I`m trying to first create a Data Basis
I am referring to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/67/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm and it states that I need to first create the following :-
SEM_BCS_TOTALS
SEM_BCS_DOCS
SEM_BCS_INVDTA
SEM_BCS_SUPDTA
I have checked in my Business Content and it`s not there. Please advice if I need to custom create these InfoCube/Virtual InfoCube ?
Next question would be assignment of the followings :- What exactly do I input ?
InfoProvider for MultiCube reporting
InfoObject Catalog for Characteristics
InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
Appreciate if someone can guide me through my first steps since I it`s my first time doing Business Consolidation.

Hi,
 I created a new Data Basis named Data_Basis_1.
 Selected 0BCS_C11 as Total Records Stream
 Hit 'Yes', when prompted for "Do you really want to generate the data basis?"
 Selected SEM_BCS_CHA01 as InfoObject Catalog for Characteristic and SEM_BCS_KYF01 as InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
 and it worked magically!
 So, the next logical thing to do would be to assign the Source to the Data Basis created so far.
 According to the link below, the following needs to be done ...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/12/f35e32342c4bbd9b36bd18c0371c47/content.htm
 1. Create a source data basis. Enter system A as the RFC Destination. Then under InfoProvider enter your InfoCube with the planning data.
 2. Assign this new source data basis to your data basis.
 3. Create a Load from Data Stream method and select your system A as the RFC Destination and your InfoCube with the planning data as the InfoProvider. If the structure of the planning data does not match the corresponding fields of your data model, define suitable mapping rules.
 4. Execute the new method.
 My scenario here is SEM and BW both resides in the same box. There is a logical connection to SAP R/3 to SAP BW defined
 Please advice how do I proceed here onwards ?
 Appreciate your help, mate!

EC CS Consolidation - How can i set up Consolidation for Corporate Group

I have a task to set up consolidation for a Corporate group that has only the corporate office running on SAP and the other 18 subsidiaries are on other systems . Within the 18 subsidiaries there are 2 companies that are assoicates.The corporate group also does limited accounting transactions approx 4 invoices per month for 3 discontinued companies but not yet divested.
The 18 subsidiaries are also broken down into sub groups by type of operations e.g. Retail, Financial services, Investments, Property etc and these also groups need to be reported in a separate report over and above the Main Group Financial reports and the report must show each group (segment) on its own. -- Is there a Standard report that helps me achieve this kind of reportring
The 2 companies that are assoicates should they be created as a group if they are to be reported as a separate subgroup.
Should i create the 3 discontinued companies as company codes or business area .
If i am to create them as company codes what are the advantages and disadvantages.
If i am to create them as Business Areas how will i incorporate them into Consolidation if I am to use Company Conslidation dimension .
How best can i set up my consolidation structures ..
Please advise

Dear Stanley,
please create two different dimensions:
one for company consolidation with cons units = company codes
one for business area consolidation with cons units = business areas
Do not forget to mark the parent cons unit and create a top cons group.
Cheers,
David

Impact of only balances in local currency in business consolidation

Hi,
We are doing business consolidation based on classical GL
and extracting data for consolidation from GLT3 table.
In some cases we are not getting the transaction currency
amount for certain GL Accounts in GLT3, it is giving the same amount as Local Currency.
Is it a impact of tick only balances in local currency, if so
how do we go ahead correcting it.
Thanks in Advance
Phutane

Hi,
Remove the Tick mark 'Only Balance in Local Currency' in the master record.
This should solve the issue.

Business Consolidation query

Hi experts,
I am BI consultant working on SEM-BCS .We have a requirement to get GL account level information in the consolidated queries.Is it a good option to add the GL account as well in BCS layout as I feel this would defy the entire idea of consolidation ? Since consolidation is across company codes it has only the group account and not the G/L accnt. Can you please suggest ?

Dear EXPERTS,
I am fresher in SEM-BCS. I have got the requirement for Business Consolidation.
Can ANy one help me out
1) For any Config Guide
2) Any Site link
3) any Training Manual.
Utterly in need of it
Thanks

I recently purchase an ipad2. I also have a mac laptop. Now, when I facetime call using my iphone to my ipad2 or mac, it states busy. how can i fix this problem? I have the same apple id e mail for both ipad2 and mac. it might be getting confuse now. I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Simple how-to guide to adding windows 7 64-bit to mavericks as a virtual machine (Virtual Box)

Simple how-to guide to adding windows 7 64-bit to mavericks as a virtual machine (Virtual Box)
Why use a Virtual Machine: Sometimes you need to run a windows only program. A VM lets you do that without rebooting your machine.
How is it different from Mac Boot Camp: Boot camp allows you to run windows but you must reboot your machine. It is faster and smoother than a VM (and with fullscreen details below), but you have to reboot for each use.
Is it possible to have a VM and Boot Camp: Yes, and I do this because sometimes I want to use a VM quickly without shutting down, sometimes I want the advantages of Boot Camp
How do I get Windows in Boot Camp: how-to here:

Download Virtual Box Virtual Machine Player:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Install Win 7 OS:
Open Virtual Box
Choose “New” (Note: Once you click new it will require you to complete the process of creation, no option for quit. If you make a mistake or are not ready, just finish it and then remove it and delete all files)
Name: “Windows 7 Virtual” or as you choose
Type: Microsoft Windows
Version: Windows 7 64-bit
Memory: I suggest 1GB if you have 4GB available, 512 MB may run slowly. 2GB+ of 4GB may slowdown your MAC OS running while the VM is running.
“Create a Virtual Drive Now” option
File Size: 25 GB should be the minimum selected, I used 25GB because I expect to use the drive to store very little.
HD type: VirtualBox Disk Image
Storage: Dynamically Allocated
Locate your new VM and click Start (again you will not be able to quit once you start, if you make a mistake continue until the red quit icon appears then remove the VM)
It will ask you to select the files for the OS. Select the ISO file, for example: /Users/Christoper/Downloads/X17-58997.iso.download/X17-58997.iso
Proceed to setup Win with your preferences
Type product key from your OS purchase or an existing one that you are moving from another machine
Note: Screen resolution may be very limited on the virtual machine. I use resolution 800 X 600 so that all of the desktop is visible.
I suggest using a windows gadget to view the CPU and Memory usage > On desktop mac-right-click i.e. separate fingers and click both > Gadgets > CPU Meter
Enjoy having Windows on your Mac!

I have found a solution to the screen being smaller in the windows 7 virtual machine. First right-click in the desktop region and select screen resolution. It is probably set to 800 X 600 by default which is much less than the screensize you are using. To determine your native screensize, go to your mac and finder > applications > utilities > hardware > graphics displays. Mine is 1440 X 900 for macbook air. Then go back into the virtual machine and sceen resolution settings. Choose a screen resolution which is slightly less in all dimensions so that there is no clipping and you do not have to scroll when viewing. For me this was 1152 X 864. Then exit saving changes and with the VM in view press command - F (or at the menu bar View > Switch to full screen), which puts you in full screen mode. Now you should have a screen with minimal gray empty space filling the majority of your screen

Burn this image file (.iso) to a USB drive or DVD-R:
USB drive:
Get a blank USB drive with 8 GB+ capacity
Format this drive to Fat32 (Windows and Mac shared format), this will erase the drive!:
Finder > Applications > Utitilies > Disk Utility > Partition > 1 > Fat32
Extract the image file to the drive exposing its files:
Finder > Applications > Utilites > Boot Camp Assistant
Click both "Create a Win 7 or later version install disk" and "Download the latest windows support software from Apple" and advance
Locate your image (iso) file, example: /Users/Christoper/Downloads/X17-58997.iso.download/X17-58997.iso
Destination disk is your USB flash drive that was formatted to fat32, if it does not appear it may be in the wrong format
Click continue, this process takes a long time (30 mins - 1.5 hour estimated), it may appear that it is freezing because progress bar stops at times, do not stop it, let it keep running. If you are unsure it is still going, open finder > click the drive > get info, and look at the size of the files. Then close finder wait a few seconds, get info again and see that file size is slightly larger. The final file size was 4+ GB for me
or DVD-R:
I have not used a DVD-R but this is how I expect it to work:
Insert black DVD-R
Finder > Applications > Utitilies > Disk Utility > Burn

Finder > Applications > Utilites > Boot Camp Assistant
Choose the 3rd option Install Windows 7
It will ask you to select a size of your Harddrive space for Windows OS, this will eat up some of the free space on your Mac HD. How much space is enough for a Windows OS? Depends on how many programs you plan to install on it. If you are just using for surfing web and running MS Office, probably 30-40 GB is enough, and this is what I did. Remember this space will be used up from your existing HD and not usable when you are in Mac OS. This process takes about 10 mins I think
Install Win 7 OS:
With USB drive in port or DVD in drive, restart laptop.
It will bring up the Win 7 installer on boot up
Select the OS type that you have a registered key for
It will ask you to find a HD to use for Win 7 OS:
Select the HD you just created, if you try to continue it will complain that HD is wrong format (because MAC formatted it to a MAC compatible HD, we will fix this)
Select the HD, there is a button to the right for "advanced" I believe is the text of it. It will allow you to reformat the drive, choose NTFS which it requires. Then proceed
Proceed to setup Win with your preferences
Type product key from your OS purchase or an existing one that you are moving from another machine
Select Default Boot Drive:
By default it selects Windows as your default OS to boot at power up, most people want Mac OSX to be the default, so this can be changed:
Finder > System Preferences > Startup Disk > select Mac
Enjoy having Windows on your Mac!

Why use Boot Camp: Sometimes you need to run a windows only program. Boot Camp lets you do that with the speed and smoothness of a full windows OS.
How is it different from Mac Virtual Machine: A VM allows you to run another OS simultaneously while you are running OSX, while in a window similar to any other application. A VM is not as fast, smooth, and may have limited screensize/view.
Is it possible to have a VM and Boot Camp: Yes, and I do this because sometimes I want to use a VM quickly without shutting down, sometimes I want the advantages of Boot Camp
