BW AFS in Productive State

Greetings,
I am interested in anyone to share their experiences in a live BW AFS environment. Specifically, we understand that clients do convey different levels of customizations, making some of them unique. But, from a more general Industry Specific (AFS) perspective: to what degree has our SAP BI Content satisfy general reporting requirements? What has been the major challenges? (Data loading/scheduling, tracking production orders, contracts, etc.) Best Practices in AFS reporting/Analytics examples, lessons learned that could be applied to other AFS customers.
Assumptions:
BW 3.x, or NW04s
DI 4.70
ECC 5.0
Netweaver
All input from your experiences will be properly rewarded with SDN points.
Thank you in advance.
Joseph Banegas

Hi Naveen,
You can find the information on AFS (datatargets, infosources, datasources, keyfigures and characters...) in the following link...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/9f/27443cbe062e59e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Only schedule line level datasouces have AFS specific fields as the size color... is the information at schedule line level. If you want to report at higher level you can just go with the normal item level or header level extractors
Hope it helps

Production State in SWCV SLD WAS 7.0

Hello,
We've just installed PI 7.0 with the new look and feel of the SLD and the Software catalog: SAP_CR, Version 2.9, 06/21/2006.
New are the software units -> minor info is given in the documentation. And when creating SWCV in a drop down box the "Production State" must be selected:
planned
started
locked
developed
published
released
reverted
archived.
However no documentation on what state to choose when starting developing in a new component. It seams logic to select started -> however anybody more information on this state and in what circumstances has the state to be switched??
Thanks,
Emile

Hi Emile,
you are right. Documentation is very sparse up to now. But I am sure it will be improved shortly in this place:

Change the Production state of Software Component in SLD

Hello,
I cannot see the list of software component to add in Dev Configuration because the Production State of software component is in Planned state and to appear in the list it should be in Devlopment state.
How do I change the state. When I login to SLD i dont see the edit mode to change it.
Thanks
PS: I did not realize there is separate NWDI forum. I also asked the same question in Web Dynpro forum.

Hi,
if the question is about, why the custom developed software is not visible in "CMS - Landscape Configurator - Track Data tab" when pressing the button "Add SC...", then please answer:
Did you trigger "Update CMS" after creating the software in SLD? You can do it in the CMS webui - Landscape Config - Domain Data tab.

Production State of SWCV

Hi all,
Can someone please throw some light on 'Production State' of SWCV(General tab) in SLD.
I can't find any documentation. Don't know the impact of these different states..Please help.
cheers
danus

Chidambaram,
I would agree with the answer above,.
As the SLD is the central repository of your entire landscapre I guess these nuew features for your SWCV's are just a means of helping your strucutre your components.
Maybe at a later stage these might have some significant improtance, but currently this does not affect XI in any way.

Getting product state for Anti Virus using WMI.

Hi All,
I have seen lot on blogs and discussion on productstate for AV, AS and FW. But none of them give the complete information of product state.
Do MSDN has any link that explains the product state completely. Or any relevant link for this.
Moreover pre Vista os using WMI we can find the version of AS, AV ans FW, but in post Vista OS WMI does not provide the information of version of the product so how we can achieve this in post Vista os.

Have you looked at this?

Binding ADF UI to a complex XML Type – Development Productivity, State Mgmt

Binding ADF UI to a complex Web Service – Development Productivity, Managing State, Etc.
For those scenarios when ADF UI has to be bound to a complex XML type, it seems that the direction taken by the ADF development team was to generate data-controls that map to complex XML types.
The major problem with this approach is the fact that application server does not manage state. For example, If application has to submit a purchase order to a web service then application server has to manage the shopping card state until its ready to be submitted.
In some previous forum threads it had been suggested that using generated data-controls is a “quick and dirty” solution for accessing web services and that a proper solution is to use generated Java Proxy Interface.
That implies many manually constructed entity objects, associations and overridden doDML methods, which is far less productive compared to entity objects generated from a database schema.
Suggestion and a Question for the ADF development team
From the logical model standpoint, there is no difference in between the XML schema and DB schema. Therefore, it is possible to generate entity objects and associations for XML Types of XML schema the same way it’s done for tables of Database schema. The only difference is serialization of CRUD operations on entity objects.
One way to handle this is:
-     Generate Application Module for a complex XML type. This application module should have methods for marshaling to/from corresponding XML type.
-     Generate entity object for each subtype within the complex XML type. In case of nested subtypes, generate association to a parent type.
-     Generate data control with actions that are bound to web service operations and code that serializes request message from corresponding AM and de-serializes response message to corresponding AM.
This way, ADF would offer the same productivity for the SOA development as one its currently offering for the ORM development.
Until the time when something like this is available, what would be the best approach for binding ADF UI to web services?
Feedback is greatly appreciated.

We have similar issues as our big portion of the UI is based on WS. We found that there is no easy way to map entity object structure to complex XML type (one EO can based on one flat type or domain can't be bound to UI directly). Oracle PMs, is there any better solution or future plans to address this issue?

Wireless Music: Product Stat

Hi there,
does anyone know if Creative still consider the Wireless Music system as a "li've" product?
I've just been trawling the forum looking for info about drop outs and freezes, and found a thread where the moderator was kind enough to email a test version of a new firmware to those that requested it. This thread started months ago and as far as I can see this firmware has still not been posted to the official download site. This seems to imply that Wireless Music isn't receiving much love & attention from Creative. Are we likely to see any further development of the system in the future?
I love the LCD remote supplied with the system but with a large song library finding a particular track can take far too long. Are there any plans to update the software in the remote to either improve the scrolling speed or improve the search facilities?
Cheers,
Q.

Cat,
Please pass along the bug with accented characters in the Artist name like M?tley Crue. Using the remote if you go in by artist to the albums under the artist and then select the album, nothing displays. If you go in directley from albums it works fine. This is a software bug that's been identified for about a year now and nothing has been done to correct it. As can be seen by this example and others there appears to be a black hole somewhere between the moderators and the developers (if there are any).

SC State in Transport Studio!

Hi people/collegues,
I am trying to use NWDI.
step1. A track is configured. -> OK
step2. Create a SC and adding dependencies (Production State: developed or planned). -> OK
step3. Adding an SC to the track -> OK
Going to the Transport Studio and after check-in the dependencies,my SC is directly in Assembly and not in Development . Why?
Any advice? It is important.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Thanks for your replies.
My track definition contains the SCs for the development and the development system is checked in the runtime systems of the track.
Is not possible that my SC is in "assembly" because it is considerates as an unit assembly at the beginning?
Then only the DCs could be change the own status from dev to consolidation?
Best regards,
Mirco.

Subversion Production Environment Setup

Hi Everyone:
We are trying to set up our production environment. We are using Tortoise SVN for our repository. We have 2 servers "devl" and "prod". We have 2 runtime environments, one on each server. Currently we have only one copy of the applications on "devl" in Tortoise SVN.
There has been some discussion lately on whether or not we need to keep a copy of the application in its production state on "prod".
For those of you already in production environments using Tortoise SVN (Subversion), what have you found works best and your reasoning behind it.
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Mary,
This isn't really a JDeveloper question, but relevant nonetheless. Let clarify some issues before answering though.
1. From what I understand you have two server for RUNNING your application, is that right? One is devl for development, integration and acceptation? While the other is prod for production? If so, then your question is not really valid. Normally you keep your repository on a single server (or a more complex topology if you have a really huge development team) that is NOT necessarily (and often not) the same as the runtime servers. This is quite useful for backup purpose, maintainability and scalability among other things.
2. What do you mean by "you already in production environments using Tortoise SVN (Subversion)"? If you mean having a system in production that used SVN as a versioning system, then yes, and it work just like I mentioned above using the branch and tag features of SVN to mark the code when it goes in production and when an experimental feature needs to be developed.

Prodution state in SLD

hi
m new to XI world
i searched for this in SDN forums but i didnu2019t get the right documentation regarding this.
in the software units -> minor info is given in the documentation. And when creating SWCV in a drop down box the "Production State" must be selected:

in what requirements we will switch over from one to other?
Thanks,

released status is required for scenario.... other names are self explanatory.

[SLD] change SWC production status

Hello,
I created a SWC in SLD with production status planned, but I'm not able to change this status. The documentation has not been extended since this Production State in SWCV SLD WAS 7.0 year.
Is the production status used for something? Which effect got every status? Got anyone experiences with this?

FORALL bulk delete statement it requires lot of time

Hi,
when I execute FORALL bulk delete statement it requires lot of time even for 10 rows deletion.so how to avoid this problem? I checked SGA_TARGET and PGA_TARGET cureent_size and max_size are same for both. Is their is memory problem?
thanks in advance
Vaibhav

Please look at this:
http://psoug.org/definition/LIMIT.htm
If you add the LIMIT 100 part to your query your bulk collect / forall construction will process 100 records per part.
This will avoid filling up undo tablespaces / PGA memory.
There's also a discussion wether to use LIMIT 100 or LIMIT 1000 (or greater).
It depends on what your system can handle, if it's a busy production statement I'd stick to a value of 100.
Reason for this, is that your query will not take a huge amount of PGA.
DECLARE
TYPE t_id_tab IS TABLE OF test.c1%TYPE;
l_id_tab t_id_tab := t_id_tab();
Begin
dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_UTILITY.get_time);
select c1 bulk collect into l_id_tab
from TEST where c1<=150000
LIMIT 100;
FORALL i IN l_id_tab.first .. l_id_tab.last
delete from TEST where c1= l_id_tab(i);
commit;
dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_UTILITY.get_time);
End;we use this construction to load data into our warehouse and bumped into the LIMIT 100 part while testing.
It did speed up things significantly.
Another (risky!) trick is to do:
-- exclude table from archivelogging
ALTER TABLE TEST NOLOGGING;
-- execute plsql block
<your code comes here>
-- enable logging on the table
ALTER TABLE TEST LOGGING;The risky part is that you get inconsistent archivelogging this way because your deletes arent logged.
When you do a restore from backup and want to roll forward until the latest change in your archive logs, you'll miss these deletes and your table will not be consistent with the rest of your database.
In our warehouse situation we dont mind, data gets refreshed every night.
Hope this helps!

Soft Comp Error :VALUEMAP for property SAP_SoftwareComponent.Production

Hi All,
I am trying to create a software component on SLD. I have created a Product first. Then trying to create a software component for the product.
While trying to create a software component I am getting the following error
"Value not allowed by VALUEMAP for property SAP_SoftwareComponent.ProductionState: Released"
I have tried using different Production State : Planned, Started, Released etc.
But I am getting the same error everytime.
Pls help me on this.
Thanks and warm regards
