Changing a Cube - SAP Best Practice
I have a situation where a Consultant we have is speaking of a SAP Best Practice but cannot provide any documentation support the claim.
The situation is that a change has been made in BW Dev to a KF (changed the datatype). Of course the transport fails in the BW QA system. OSS note 125499 suggest activating the object manually.
To do I will need to open up the system for changes and deactivate the KF in question, then a core SAP BW table (RSDKYF) is to be modified to change the datatype. Then upon activation of the KF, the data in the cube will be converted.
If I delete the data in the cube, apply the transport, and then reload from PSA would this work also? I would rather not have to open up the systems and have core BW tables being modified. That just doesn't seem like a best practice to me.
Is this practice a SAP Best Practice?
Regards,
Kevin
Hello Kevin,
opening the system for manual changes is not best practice. There are only few exceptional cases where this is necessary (usually documented in SAP notes).
"Easy" practice would be to add a new key figure instead of changing the data type. Obviously this causes some rework in depended objects but transport will work and no table conversions will be required.
"Save" practice is to drop and reload the data. You can do it from PSA if the data is still available. Or create a backup InfoCube and use data mart interface to transfer data between the original and backup.

SAP Best Practice: Problems with Loading of Transaction Data
Hi!
I am about to implement SAP Best Practices scenario "B34: Accounts Receivable Analysis".
Therefore I load the data from SAP ERP IDES system into SAP NetWeaver 2004s system.
My problems are:
when I try to load the Transaction data for Infosources 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_AR_6 I get the following errors/warnings:
when I start the "schedule process" the status getting still "yellow 14:27: 31(194 from 0 records)"
On the right side I see some actions that are also "yellow", e.g. "DataStore Activation (Change Lo ): not yet activated".
As a result I cannot see any data in tcode "RSRT" executing the queries "0FIAR_C03/...".
The problems there
1) Input help of the web template of query don't contain any values
2) no data will be shown
Can some one help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much!

SAP Best Practices - Error during the activation of Baseline Package
Hello,
I don´t know if this is the right forum to post this message, but I posting here as i didn´t get the info from the related forum, apologies for that.
During the process of activation the Baseline Package 603V8 on ECC6.0 EHP3 (I´m importing all scenarios) from solution builder (txcode /n/smb/bbi)... it stopped and it shows me the following error:
Start activation BC Set: /SMBA0/V_T001P_B0BN_J01
Not activated - error
End of activation BC Set: /SMBA0/V_T001P_B0BN_J01
Can someone help me solve this problem?
Thank you
João Dimas - PortugalHello again,
I already solved this specific issue that I reported in my previous message, I did the manual activation (txcode SCPR20) of that BC Set: /SMBA0/V_T001P_B0BN_J01 guided by the document "SAP Best Practices Tools". After this activation I pressed the Change button that is displayed in the Old Status column and I changed the status to successful, after I chose the Activate to continue with the installation. But, once again, other error stopped the installation, now with other BC Set:
/SMBA0/V_T001L_B175_J0A
I tried to solve with the same method through the manual activation, but now it was not possible, when I do that in SCPR20 the activation logs show me four warnings (see the image "BC Sets: Activation logs")... and I don´t want to continue with activation/installation of the full scope without solve this issue or can I continue?!
Can you help me please?
Thank you,

SAP Best practice for Oracle installation on HPux
Hi - I am looking for SAP best practices document to install ERP6 on Oracle 10G platform HPUNIX 31. Is there any sap best practices guide?
Also, for Dev system, I am planning to install ABAP and JAVA stacks in one database. What do I need to do in database level?
Last, How am I going to configure the 2 engines to communicate?
Any reference to documents will be appreciated.
Regards
kHi,
Sorry but I'm going to be a bit bold here.
All needed information is on the guides.
1) If you are on Windows, you put the SAP-Oracle CD/DVD in, execute the command mentioned on the installation guide type the two things mentioned on the guide and press next next next. Then you install SAP
2) if you are on UNIX, you start SAP installation, then it stops and tell you to install Oracle. The guide tells you to run RUNINSTALLER (in capitals) you type the two things mentioned on the guide and press next next next. Then you continue the SAP installation.
Of course, those are the simplified versions
No response file is generated "ever". The response file comes INSIDE the installation CDs, for that reason is very important to execute the EXACT commands mentioned on the installation guides, in order to use such, already existing, response file.
I do not understand this need of super-hiper detailed step by step guides.
If you get one like that, then it will be obsolete after one month because there are new Oracle parameters, new oracle patches/patch sets or new .... that have to be done -
SAP Best Practice for Water Utilities on ERP2005
Hi All,
I want to load SAP Best Practice for Water Utilities on ERP2005. I have downloaded the package from Marketplace but there is NO transport file included on it. It only contains documentation. My questions are
1. Does anyone know where I can download the transport file, if any?
2. Should I use the transport file from Baseline Best Practice instead?
Thank you,
BomoHello!
The file should contain eCATTs with data according to best practice preconfigured scenarios and transactions to install them.
Some information about preconfigured scenario you could find here:
http://help.sap.com/bp_waterutilv1600/index.htm -> Business Information -> Preconfigured Scenarios
Under the "Installation" path you could find "Scenario Installation Guide" for Water Utilities.
I hope it would be helpful.

you should have a look at the SAP Instguide, and if it tells you to do as your colleagues say, open a ticket to SAP and ask, whether doing it the otherw ay could have spoiled your system. Anything but an official "yes, it's ok" won't help you.
For the other guys: have a loook at http://service.sap.com/instguides, there you can find all the guides you need.
