Business Question

Hi all,
I have to activate couple of SCM cubes in BW . Right now I am in the stage of gathering requirements .
And I have identified 4 legacy tables which cover these reporting requirements . R/3 installation and configuration is going on along side.
I am trying to get a mapping from the legacy fields to the R/3 fields.
Now my confusion is , I have been asked to look at some SCM business content . I am thinking once I do the legacy mapping , i will be doing the mapping from the r/3 to the bw fields.
q 1. How do I know which field in R/3 refers to which field in BW. Because in R/3 Material is called as MATNR and in BW it is 0Material. I am just picking a simple example .But what is the way to map some customised fields.
q 2 . I am thinking the R/3 system would have been customised for the company like for example telecommunication. Then these fields will not be provided by the BW business content , how will I map these fields.
I have some more questions but I would be posting them in a different post , so that assigning points would be easier.
Thanks in advance

Hi Karun,
Welcome to the SDN! Have you started looking at any business content cubes for SCM right now? SCM is quite vast, but to give an example take a look here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/876737fb81ee7fe10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
If you take a look at InfoSources and Datasources you can get a fair idea to start off with about the tables, fields and Infobjects mapping.
To map custom fields you may need to create a new InfoObjects if any existign ones do not suit the business purpose.
Hope this helps...

Filtering Help system view by business questions

My client wants to use RoboHelp to create a help system that
covers ten web-based applications in one suite of products. The
products are used by different roles on a commodities trading
floor. The same person might use more than one of the applications
for different purposes. My client wants the usual Help TOC as one
avenue into the content. But in addition, my client wants to
provide a different path into the content. For this second path, he
wants entry into the Help system to be a series of business
questions (such as "What are you trying to do?" Possible answer:
"make a trade"). Then, on the basis of the answers, he wants to
display only a subset of the help topics. Just the ones that are
relevant, based on the answers to those questions. In other words,
a filtered view of the help system. Is this possible? Any advice
would be appreciated.

In our 2.5K-topic merged WebHelp project, we've implemented a
series of navigation pages similar to what Rick suggests.
Whereas the TOC is categorized by major features, the opening
page provides links to pages for User Roles, Functional Tasks,
Major Components, Menu Help (split between Client and System
Administration), and Reference. (I used a free
tooltip
utility from Walter Zorn to provide a hover "peek" before they
click to jump to a link.)
Each category within these pages has a list of the most
commonly used topics. Therefore an "Operations & Technology"
user would be provided lists of topics dealing with his normal
duties such as Batch Processing, Imports/Exports, XML Messaging,
etc.
Another method might be working with the developers to tie in
privileging to apply to the help as well as the application
features. You could "map" topics by using folders and/or topic
keys, such as leading "sa_" for system admin, "bp_" for batch
processing, etc.
Good luck,
Leon

Skype for business questions

Hello,
One of our customers is planning to implement Skype for Business in their infrastructure with 150+ users. They have some questions regarding Skype and we are unable to answer some of them, so i kindly ask you to assist us with the answers of those questions:
Is it possible to block all external users (contacts, messages and free skype calls) and comunicate only with the internal employees?
Is it possible to block (centraly) the options to change the address book or the settings in Skype?
Is there a option to have centraly managed history log?
Are there any additional fees for the implementation and how much SkypeOut $ credit is required to enable Skype for Buisness?
Thank you and best regards,
Zhivko Zhekov

Is it possible to block all external users (contacts, messages and free skype calls) and comunicate only with the internal employees?
Yes. Let you configure your company's firewall/router to only allow connections on a certain port thats routed via LAN and have all internal users set alternative port for Skype.
I'll assume with the above question, each Skype ID doesn't have any external contacts already incorporated into each account for company use only.
More details on what ports are required for Skype:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA148/which-ports-need-to-be-open-to-use-skype-for-windows-desktop
If they using Mobile version of Skype, that could get trickier as they probably would still be connected different service provider giving them external access on ports if logged into Skype in two places at once. *I haven't tried this but that's what I would suggest*
Thanks,
Kent C.

BUSINESS QUESTION - iPhone Support For Advertising

1. As a developer, can I build in support for advertising on the iPhone 3G?
2. If I build an iPhone business application, can I support ADs today? Future?

I think Google should be able to locate ad networks that serve ads in a size supported on the iPhone. I know Google AdSense does but I have a feeling it wouldn't generate many clicks.
You have to have an account with an ad network in order to use their code in any web based application. If you aren't accepted into a network that supports iPhone sized ads, you won't be able to include code beyond a placeholder until you are accepted into a network.

Question related to Purchase order

Hi,
If PO is created for 100 qty and vendor confirms for only 80 quantity. But plant needs full 100 quantity and they cannot wait for 2nd delivery for remaining 20 quantity. How to handle this situation, meaning what is the best alternative solution?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Nani

Nani,
???? This is not an SAP question, this is a business question. SAP software does not have any magical way to force this vendor to confirm and deliver the additional 20pc at a time when you actually need it.
One possible business process to address this business problem would be to get on the telephone and call the vendor and plead your case. Another possible business process would be to cancel the outstanding 20 pcs in the original PO, and then purchase the 20 pcs from another vendor.
Best Regards,

Build your RPD around business processes

Hi,
I have read many blogs and books around RPD and best practices. Many recommend building out the RPD around business processes. Refering to 11G. Currently my RPD development is still under development, not released to TEST or Production. My subject areas are layed out by Business Areas - Fact Table
EG:
- Supply Chain - Purchase Orders
- Supply Chain - Purchase receipts
- Supply Chain - Inventory
- Work Order - Parts List
- Work Order - Routing
- Work Order - WO Master
- manufacturing - Messages
etc...
Now I am debating if I should rebuild it by Business processes as now I want to do some multiple subject area reporting and having join issues (Casting Nulls) Just wondering on how others are building theirs, and issues your having or am I the only one building around tables instead of Process. We did not buy the OBIEE apps due to certain reasons.
Love to hear your setup's and thoughts,
Thanks!
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I think, it is best to build the Subject Areas around business processes than facts. Any reporting tool, is supposed to answer analytical questions for set of business questions which might have to be served from different facts.
A user might want to see his sales figures are for this month and look at the inventory at the same time, to check the availability. (Sorry if this was a bad example ;) ), which would need to join across subject areas if they are fact based.
Hope, you got my point and this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Information about Business Phones

Hey everyone,
I just was browsing through Vodafone's site and noticed that a contract for home use was £29p/m and for business it was £20.89 (Blackberry 9360). Would I be able to purchase the Business phone and use it for Home use? I would be paying it monthly out of my account . If it makes no difference what so ever then I could save myself money. I do work for British Airways but I don't want them to pay for it, ill be happy for it to be paid out of my account and I'd just use it normally can this be done? I am aware of Enterprise built into BB and would there be a lock on this for BA to unlock it?
I just need more information on the difference's.
Thanks again guys,

Umount not possible on Solaris 10

Hello,
This afternoon, I asked for support on Sun Support Center for a problem which occurs on a new Solaris 10 installation.
Problems on Solaris 10 are not supported by Sun Support Center ... :-(
(I think a umount problem is not a Solaris 10 problem , but ...)
It's not a critical problem but I'm frustrated if I must reboot for this problem.
We are not under Microsoft OS ...
Sun Support Center asked me to try on Sun Developer site.
Can you help me ?
Thanks

yes
PROBLEM ANALYSIS :
The customer has mounted the cdrom on the machine zanzibar
and share it by NFS. See the customer's note for more details.
After that, he has launched Oracle installation on machine udaipur
by using CD ROM mounted via NFS on zanzibar machine.
After the usage of the cdrom from the NFS client udaipur, it is
impossible to umount the cdrom.
# umount /cdrom/disk1
umount: /cdrom/disk1 busy
The customer has stopped all services of NFS :
# ps -ef | grep nfs
daemon 12459 1 0 12:20:54 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/statd
daemon 12461 1 0 12:20:54 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/lockd

But the problem is still persisting : impossible to umount cdrom
# umount /cdrom/disk1
umount: /cdrom/disk1 busy
The customer is using gnome for interface
ifuser command gives 3 processes: vold, the terminal and lockd.
We stop all processes and retry again :
# umount /cdrom/disk1
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /cdrom/disk1
# umount /cdrom/cdrom0
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /cdrom/cdrom0
#umount -f /cdrom/disk1
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /cdrom/disk1
#umount -F hsfs /cdrom/disk1
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /cdrom/disk1
#umount /vol/dev/dsk/c0t1d0/disk1
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /vol/dev/dsk/c0t1d0/disk1
The problem is not really urgent but the customer does not
want to reboot this machine just to umount the cdrom !!!!
It is really impossible to umount the cdrom.
i've found a bug id for swap and this problem needs more investigation.
So i'm escalating this case!

Report takes too much time to display information

Hello,
We have Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.3 on the production environment, and now a problem is appearing in the display of a report in the dashboard.
I already tuned the sentence that get the data, these are three and take 1 minuto, then the display in the dashboard is taking 10 minutos.
What can I do?
Regards

I agree with wildmight, you sure are not displaying 10,000 rows in a Dashboard? While you can say that moving a file with 10,000 rows over the networks "takes" 1 second that not a valid test. Try displaying a Web Page with lots of CSS and JavaScript and those 10,000 rows and you will how IE struggles. the web was never designed for massive web pages with 10,000. It works, but it's not a good idea. Consider the following options:
1) Build aggregate tables to display a "summary" of those 10,000 rows. Allow the user to drill down to detail level of them with restricted parameters to only see a sub-set of them.
2) Build an answer query that returns them and schedule an iBot that sends the users an Excel spreadsheet with the rows. Let Excel do the donkey's work on the user's PC, it's good for that kind of stuff.
In my opinion is the your users have a business question that requires an answer that returns 10,000 rows then they have a problem. Ask them what they really want to see and build a dashboard that answers that question.

Weird result of oracle query before and after function base index creation

Hi All,
Here is the unique situation we are facing after creating just an index.
The query result before the index and the query result after the index do not match.
This is very illogical situation. Shidhar and me have done lot of R&D, also tried to get lots info from Google but we couldn't decipher the reason for that.
I am giving you all the details about the query, index and tables with following steps.
Please let us know if anything is going wrong from our side or is it a bug at oracle level which is a rarest possibility but a possibility.
Step 1 :- Create table
create table TEMP_COMP
ID VARCHAR2(10),
GROUP_ID VARCHAR2(10),
TRAN_DATE DATE,
AMT_1 NUMBER,
AMT_2 NUMBER,
AMT_3 NUMBER
Step 2 :- Insert Sample data
set feedback off
set define off
prompt Deleting TEMP_COMP...
delete from TEMP_COMP;
commit;
prompt Loading TEMP_COMP...

Step 3 :- Execute the query.
SELECT GROUP_ID
, SUM(LAST_YR_REV) as "Year_2007_Amt"
, SUM(CURR_YR_REV) as "Year_2008_Amt"
FROM (
SELECT GROUP_ID,
CASE WHEN TO_CHAR(TRAN_DATE,'YYYYMM') BETWEEN'200701'AND'200712'THEN SUM(AMT_1) ELSE 0 END AS LAST_YR_REV ,
CASE WHEN TO_CHAR(TRAN_DATE,'YYYYMM') BETWEEN'200801'AND'200812'THEN SUM(AMT_1) ELSE 0 END AS CURR_YR_REV
FROM TEMP_COMP t
WHERE GROUP_ID ='G01'
AND TO_CHAR(TRAN_DATE,'YYYYMM') BETWEEN'200601'AND'200912'
GROUP BY GROUP_ID, TRAN_DATE
GROUP BY GROUP_ID
The result of above query
GROUP_ID Year_2007_Amt Year_2008_Amt
G01 30 180
Step 4 : Create composite index
create index GROUP_ID_TRAN_DATE_IDX on TEMP_COMP (GROUP_ID, TO_CHAR(TRAN_DATE,'YYYYMM'))
Step 5 : Execute once again query from step 3.
SELECT GROUP_ID
, SUM(LAST_YR_REV) as "Year_2007_Amt"
, SUM(CURR_YR_REV) as "Year_2008_Amt"
FROM (
SELECT GROUP_ID,
CASE WHEN TO_CHAR(TRAN_DATE,'YYYYMM') BETWEEN'200701'AND'200712'THEN SUM(AMT_1) ELSE 0 END AS LAST_YR_REV ,
CASE WHEN TO_CHAR(TRAN_DATE,'YYYYMM') BETWEEN'200801'AND'200812'THEN SUM(AMT_1) ELSE 0 END AS CURR_YR_REV
FROM TEMP_COMP t
WHERE GROUP_ID ='G01'
AND TO_CHAR(TRAN_DATE,'YYYYMM') BETWEEN'200601'AND'200912'
GROUP BY GROUP_ID, TRAN_DATE
GROUP BY GROUP_ID
The result of above query
GROUP_ID Year_2007_Amt Year_2008_Amt
G01 0 210

I just wanted to make a comment. The predicates in both your queries are flawed I believe. You convert a date column to a character and then you say only pick the converted result between two sets of characters.
TO_CHAR(TRAN_DATE,'YYYYMM') BETWEEN'200601'AND'200912'It should be coded like this for a proper date range comparison:
TRAN_DATE BETWEEN TO_DATE('200601','YYYYMM') AND TO_DATE('200912','YYYYMM')That will eliminate the need for you to create FBI that you created. You should now be able to create a regular (B*Tree) index on the TRAN_DATE column.
Also, now that we have the structure of your tables and sample data, what business question are you trying to answer? I think there is a better query that can be written if we know the requirements.
Hope this helps!
