BW Reports: Way to find the data origin and describe the formulas?

Hi!
I need to create a document describing the data origins and the calculations in the reports that are in use.
Reports are standard BW reports for HR Personnel Administration.
Is there any feasible way to find and describe that from which fields in R/3 is the data coming from? I know the DataSources 0HR_PA_0 and 0HR_PA_1 are the ones used, but is there a way to drill further?
E.g.
How would you descibe, how does the query "Average Headcount (4-quarter) calculate the number of employees?
I've been told that the answer "BW reports uses Standard BW extractors/update/transfer rules etc. to download the data from R/3 and standard BW keyfigures and formulas etc. in queries to calculate the results" is not enough.
The answer should be more detailed with additional info about locations of the data in R3?
SAP documentation gives describtions for each report, as for example the report "Average Headcount (4-quarter)", formula: Average 4-quarters of Previous Year = Sum of quarter values (previous year) / 4
Is there a way to describe this more in detail?
All the documents and postings I've read does not give too much hope for this. Generally the answer has been that this mission is more or less impossible.
I hope you figure out what I'm trying to find here.

Place archive_reports.sms in %systemroot%\ccm\inventory\temp\ for both 64-bit and 32-bit computers.
There are two situations where you can use this depending on the type of client:
1. To keep inventory reports on a client (that is not an MP), create the following file:
%systemroot%\ccm\inventory\temp\archive_reports.sms
2. To keep inventory reports on a MP (that is also a client), create the following file:
<x>:\sms_ccm\inventory\temp\archive_reports.sms
The XML file will be saved in the inventory\temp folder.

HT4061 I can't get my touch screen to work. Have tried to reset, but nothing happens. A box appears round the date intermittently and round the 'slide' to open if I try to do as instructed. Help!

Please help me get my i phone screen to respond. I have suddenly found it won't respond to touch and I can't answer calls or read messages. I've tried the reset by holding the home button and off button till the logo appears to no avail. A box sometimes comes round the date and the slide to unlock sign. Any help would be great!

Try a full restore. If the screen is still unresponsive after the reset then its a harsware problem.

Why do you not label whether a film or tv series is in VO or VF on the french istores. There are a lot of English speakers living in France and as many French people who would prefer to see the Version Original and not the dubbed versions.

Why do Apple not specify whether their films and TV series are in Version Original or in dubbed French. Let's face it, most people who buy apple TV do so because they are film fanatics, and if you're really into film there's nothing worse than listening to ridiculous dubbing - it ruins the whole thing. At least label the films so we know if they are in VO or VF, and if possible have them in both. CanalPlay can do it, so why can't apple?

We are itunes users like you. We have no idea why the Motion picture industry/film distributors on your country do not provide itunes with this.
Itunes only sells what they are provided by the companies who distribute the content.

How the data is fetched from the cube for reporting

hi all,
I need to understand the below scenario:(as to how the data is fetched from the cube for reporting)
I have a query, on a multiprovider connected to cubes say A and B. A is on BIA index, B is not. There are no aggregates created on both the cubes.
CASE 1: I have taken RSRT stats with BIA on, in aggregation layer it says
Basic InfoProvider     *****Table type      ***** Viewed at          ***** Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
Cube A     *****             blank                 *****           0.624305         *****          8,087,502        *****             2,011
Cube B     *****                     E   *****                      42.002653 *****                  1,669,126            *****                    6
Cube B     *****                     F *****                     98.696442    *****                  2,426,006       *****                    6
CASE 2:I have taken the RSRT stats, disabling the BIA index, in aggregation layer it says:
Basic InfoProvider     *****Table Type     *****Viewed at     *****Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
Cube B     *****E     *****46.620825     ****1,669,126****     6
Cube B     *****F     ****106.148337****     2,426,030*****     6
Cube A     *****E     *****61.939073     *****3,794,113     *****3,499
Cube A     *****F     ****90.721171****     4,293,420     *****5,584
now my question is why is here a huge difference in the number of records transported for cube A when compared to case 1. The input criteria for both the cases are the same and the result output is matching. There is no change in the number of records selected for cube A in both cases.It is 8,087,502 in both cases.
Can someone pls clarify on this difference in records being selected.

Hi Jay,
Thanks for sharing your analysis.
The only reason I could think logically is BWA is having information in both E and F tables in one place and hence after selecting the records, it is able to aggregate and transport the reords to OLAP.
In the second case, since E and F tables are separate, aggregation might be happening at OLAP and hence you see more number of records.
Our Experts in BWA forum might be able to answer in a better way, if you post this question over there.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Is there a way to find out details about, who approved the RMA on system using front end or back end?

Is there a way to find out details about, who approved the RMA on system using front end or back end?

But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace

Hi,
yes, Vitaliy could be guess right. Please check if FEMS compression is enabled (note 1308274).
What you can do to get more details about the selection is to activate the execurtion plan SQL/BWA queries in data manager. You can also activate the trace functions for BWA in RSRT. So you need to know how both queries select its data.

Creating a time channel in the data portal and filling it with data - Is there a more efficient way than this?

I currently have a requirement to create a time channel in the data portal and subsequently fill it with data. I've shown below how I am currently doing it:
Time_Ch = ChnAlloc("Time channel", 271214 , 1 , , "Time" ,1 ,1) 'Allocate time channel
For intLoop = 1 to 271214
ChD(intLoop,Time_Ch(0)) = CurrDateTimeReal 'Create time value
Next
I understand that the function to create and allocate memory for the time channel is extremely quick. However the time to store data in the channel afterwards is going to be highly dependent on the length I have assigned to the Time_Ch. In my application the length of Time_Ch is variable but could easily be in the order of 271214 or higher. Under such circumstances the time taken to fill Time_Ch is quite considerable. I am wondering whether this is the most appropriate way of doing things or whether there is a more efficient way of creating a time channel and filling it.
Thanks very much for any help.
Regards
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
You are correct that there is a more efficient way to do this. I'm a little confused about your "CurrDateTimeReal" assignment-- is this a constant? Most people want a Time channel that counts up linearly in seconds or fractions of a second over the duration of the measurement. But that looks like you would assign the same time value to all the rows of the new Time channel.
If you want to create a "normal" Time channel that increases at a constant rate, you can use the ChnGenTime() function:
ReturnValue = ChnGenTime(TimeChannel, GenTimeUnit, GenTimeXBeg, GenTimeXEnd, GenTimeStep, GenTimeMode, GenTimeNo)
If you really do want a Time channel filled with all the same values, you can use the ChnLinGen() function and simply set the GenXBegin and GenXEnd parameters to be the same value:
ReturnValue = ChnLinGen(TimeChannel, GenXBegin, GenXEnd, XNo, [GenXUnitPreset])
In both cases you can use the Time channel you've already created (which as you say executes quickly) and point the output of these functions to that Time channel by using the Group/Channel syntax of the Time channel you created for the first TimeChannel parameter in either of the above functions.

Dynamically generating the ssrs dataset and filling the data into the dataset and binding it to ssrs report dynamically

I have a work to do, in ssrs we are using server reports in our project. i am looking for dynamically generating the ssrs dataset and filling the data into the dataset and binding the dataset to ssrs report(RDL) dynamically.
Getting the dataset dynamically has a solution by using Report Definition Customization Extension (RDCE), but the problem is binding that dataset to the report(RDL) dynamically was not there.
Here is the reference for RDCE http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/355461/Dynamically-Pointing-to-Shared-Data-Sources-on-SQL#6
I looked for binding the dataset to the report(RDL) dynamically and searched many sites but i did not get the solution. Can anyone help me here.
Is there any custom assemblies or any Custom data processing extensions to work around. Please help.
Thanks in advance

Any way to find out which apps I use the most?

Sometimes there are apps that I don't realize I use a lot. Is there any way to find out which apps I use the most, so I can put those on my first home screen?

I'd keep and eye on your multitask bar. This tells me what apps I use and often forget I've been in that day.

Data, Original and Modified folders?

sorry, this may be a dumb question, but what's the difference between Data, Original and Modified folders? when I do a search for a specific folder, i find that I will find all the folders and there looks like duplicates but they are filed in Data, Original and sometimes additionally under Modified.
thanks!

A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
Please remember that Finder searches do not really understand your iPhoto Library. If you use iPhoto the correct way to search for photos is via the iPhoto Window.

How can I do to acquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI without interruption.

I've attached a VI that I am using to acquire amplitude from Spectrum analyzerse. I tried to connect amplitude ouput to the VI Write Characters To File.vi and Write to Spreadsheet File.vi. Unfortunately when I run continual this VI without interruption, labview ask me many time to enter a new file name to save a new value.
So, How can I do to aquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI for example during 10 min.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Your VI does work perfectly. Unfortunately this not what I want to do. I've made error in my last comment. I am so sorry for this.
So I explain to you again what I want to do exactly. I want to acquire amplitude along road by my vehicle. I want to use wheel signal coming from vehicle to measure distance along road. Then I acquire 1 amplitude each 60 inches from spectrum analyzer.
I acquire from PC parallel port a coded wheel signal coming from vehicle (each period of the signal corresponds to 12 Inches). Figure attached shows the numeric signal coming from vehicle, and the corresponding values “120” and “88” that I can read from In Port vi.
So I want to acquire 1 time amplitude from spectrum analyser each 5
period of the signal that I am acquiring from parallel port.
So fist I have to find how can I count the number of period from reading the values “120” and “88” that I am acquiring from In Port (I don’t know the way to count a number of period from reading values “120” and “88”).
Here is a new algorithm.
1) i=0 (counter: number of period)
2) I read value from In Port
3) If I acquire a period
i= i+1 (another period)
4) If i is multiple of 5 (If I read 5 period)
acquire 1 time amplitude and write to the same
file this amplitude and the corresponding distance
Distance = 12*i). Remember each period of signal
Corresponds to 12 Inches).i has to take these
values: 5,10,15,20,25,35,40,45,50,55,60............
5) Back to 2 if not stop.
Thank you very much for helping me.

When I open iTunes on my new computer using the .itl file, and using the same external drive holding the songs, all of the songs I added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links, while none of the songs have broken links on the old computer.

I want to open the iTunes library on my new laptop with all the playlists and stuff I built on the old computer. I have all my music on an external drive. I have copied the .itl file from the old computer and opened it on the laptop, and it has all the playlists, but all of the songs that were added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links. What am I doing wrong?

Moving library files around while leaving the data in the same place usually presents no problems. Moving the data around independently from the library usually breaks things. With Windows machines all you should need to do is make sure that the same drive letter is being used on the new system as with the old. If that is not possible you need to get your library into a portable layout before moving it between systems.
Typical layout of iTunes folders:
When the media folder is inside the main iTunes folder as shown above then the library is portable. Typically with a split library the iTunes Music or iTunes Media folder (everything inside the red outline) is moved to a different drive by choosing a new locaton for it and then consolidating.
To make the library portable again you need to copy the library files and album artwork folder into the parent folder of the media folder so that the nested relationship is recreated. (BTW If your media isn't already inside your designated media folder then you will also need to consolidate the files that are outside of it, before you copy the library files.) You can then use the hold-down-shift-when-starting-iTunes method to open the library file in that parent folder. Once the library has been opened, tested and closed you are most of the way there.
The iTunes window inherits its title from the folder holding the library files so, unless you created a folder called iTunes to hold the media folder, iTunes may now have an unexpected title when you run it. The parent folder can be renamed as iTunes, and the library opened again. Alternatively, if the parent folder is at the root of the drive, or has other data which you wish to leave in place, you can create a new top level folder called iTunes and move the library files, album artwork and media folders into it before opening and testing the library again.
If the library doesn't work after any step simply reverse it by undoing a move or rename or opening the previous set iTunes Library.itl file.
If all has gone well then the library is now portable. Once you've migrated the data to a new system you can copy the library files back to their usual internal location if you find that having them on the external drive affects performance...

How to findout the data source information for the perticular tables

Hi,
Can you please tell me the process to findout the data source information for the perticular tables .
For ex.. T2503 ,T2507 ,T25A1,T25A2 etc ..
I am doing a reverse engineering to find out the data sources build on the above SAP Tables.
Thanks.

Hi,
Still we haven't get the field level information ,before they send us we should first give them the corresponding data sources for the COPA tables which they have given .
I have searched in help.sap.com but I didn't find any information on this .
Please let me know is there any way to know the data source details for SAP Tables.
Thanks
