  • Want to remove Technical data Tab from Work Center

    Hi All,
    I want to remove Technical data Tab from Work Center. I have Removed ''Technical data'' Tab from Plant Maintenance and Customer Service-->Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -->Maintenance Plans, Work Centers, Task Lists and PRTs >Work Centers>Configure Screen Sequence for Work Center.
    Still I am able to see Technical Data Tab in IR01, Work center.
    Is there any other config to remove the same?

    This is resolved.
    I have changed the config in following node as 0005 for PM
    SPRO / IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance Plans, Work Centers, Task Lists and PRTs -> Work Centers->General Data->Define Work Center Types and Link to Task List Application

  • How to transfer the requirement from one plant  to many plants(STO)

    hai gurus,
    My scenario is as follows:
    1) Plant "A" is Receiving plant.
    2) Plant "B" ,Plant "C", Plant "D" is three production plant.
    3) All the above 4 plant under same company code 1000.
    4) Now plant "A" gets the requirements and pass on to all the three production plants, which
    is based on forecast.
    5) How the requirement to be passed on from plant "A" to all the three production plants namely B/C/D
    under sap
    6) After production of fert under 3 production plants the final products is transferred to the plant "A"
    ware houses which is situated near by plants of B/C/D.
    7) Only one fert material( Fert 1) is common for all three plants produced based on the capacity at all three plants.
    8) Remaining fert material is plant specific, that is for Example Fert 2,3,4 produced only in plant" B"
    Fert 5,6,7 produced in plant "C" and Fert 8,9,10 produced only in plant "D".

    Hi again,
    For more details on stock transfer from alternative plant in MRP, see also the attached link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/f4/7d2d5a44af11d182b40000e829fbfe/content.htm
    Regarding FERT1, you can place sales order, but it will not trigger requirements in the manufacturing plant. Also, because all plants are in the same CC it is not a good idea.
    If you are willing to do some manual/external work in determining how much of FERT1 will each manufacturing plant produce, then you can just manually create STOs accordingly. These STOs will generate MRP requirements in the manufacturing plants.

  • No master data transmitted from ERP to GTS

    We are using ERP 4.70 with the following settings:

    PI 2004_1_470 SP-Level 0016
    PI_BASIS 2005_1_620 SP-Level 0017
    SLL_PI 720_470 SP-Level 0007
    together with SAP GTS 7.2 SP-Level 09
    I created the message types /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_SLL and /SAPSLL/MATMAS_SLL manually and activated them.
    I try to send an customer master data to GTS but the partner will not transmitted. In the log protocoll in GTS the error message appears that there was no data collected from table SAPSLL/TCOGVA
    If I try to send a material master from ERP to GTS the RFC connection gets broken with error message:
    RFC error (The transaction has dumped the connection). What I had found out is, that the error appears in the function /SAPSLL/API_1006_SYNCH_MASS.
    Has this something to do maybe with a wrong IDOC type? Does I have to to something in some tables. Do I use the wrong programme? I use /SAPSLL/MATMAS_DISTRIBUTE_R3 and /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_DISTRIBUTE_R3.
    I made absolutely the same customizing settings in another system at a customer and it worked fine there.
    Does anybody has an idea? Thanks to all for the possible help.
    Thanks very much in advance

    Hi Andreas,
    there are several possibilities why this is not working.
    First of all you should check, if your RFC settings are correctly maintained.
    Please bear in mind that the logical systems have to be assigned to logical system groups and that GTS and R/ shall not be in teh same group.
    Please also ensure that the logical system name is the same in both systems, R/3 and GTS.
    Secondly there is also the possibilites that necessary tables are not filled correctly.
    Please run report /SAPSLL/PLUGIN_CHECK_R3
    It could be thate.g. the tables TBD24 and TBD62 are not filled 
    for the relevant message type (in your case /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_SLL and /SAPSLL/MATMAS_SL)
    To update this tables corretly pls. do the following:                                                                               
    - BD53                                                                
    - select message type (/SAPSLL/MATMAS_SLL)and edit it                 
    - select a segment                                                    
    - save                                                                
    - deselect segment again                                              
    - activate                                                            
    - set in trx BD60 the FM to the correct value                         
      (/SAPSLL/MATMAS_DISTRIBUTE_R3)                                                                               
    You can than check with the programm: '/SAPSLL/PLUGIN_CHECK_R3' if    
    all 4 required tables (TBD24, TBD62, TBDA2, TBDME) are filled, or not.
    I hope this helps with the issue.

  • Getting data transfered from old HD to new ones, leaving 2 slots filled . .

    Hello,
    *(Below is a thread I started in another forum, but, didn't get my final questions answered (see at bottom of this post in BOLD), and am hoping for further help and suggestions. I know there is a lot to read here, but, I think this information will help other novices, such as myself. Thanks!)*
    I have 2 new HDs (each 1T) uninstalled, and I have my old HD (160 gigs) currently residing in one of the two slots in my G5. Any ideas on the best way/process to get the data transfered from the old HD to the new ones, leaving my two slots filled with the 2 new drives AND my data from the old HD transfered and intact, with a RAID0 setup?
    OR, are there any other suggestions on a good setup with the 2 new HDs??
    I'm open to suggestions.
    I always back-up on external HDs, so, is their a need for me to worry about setting up a RAID0??
    I'm doing video processing for DVD release.
    Should I just max out the 2x1T gig HDs and not worry about a HD failure??
    All Suggestions welcomed!!
    Thanks, Jack
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    You are limited with only 2 drive slots. In this scenario what usually works best is a small fast drive (eg Velocirapter or SSD) for OSX/Applications and a large drive for video files. It is not advisable to have the operating system running from a striped array.
    Since you already have the drives, here is what you can do.
    Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
    Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
    Set the startup disk as the new partition.
    Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
    Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
    *Hey Cutterman,*
    Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good set-up. I'll have to research the process of doing what you've advised, but, should work out ok:
    A. Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions:
    1. Partitions are done under Disc Utilities correct? Never done it before; will take a look.
    B. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
    2. GPT is also done under Disc Utilities, correct? Here I start to get a bit confused, as I've formatted Extended Journal, SO, the partition with the OSX & Applications is formatted GPT, and the rest of the HD is formatted as Extended Journal?
    C. Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
    3. So, I partition the first new HD and use Carbon Copy Cloner (also under Disc Utilities) to copy the OSX & Applications from my original HD to the first new HD, correct?
    D. Set the startup disk as the new partition.
    4. This will be an option when I setup the partition???
    E. Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
    F. Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
    5. QUESTION: So, you recommend not striping the HDs: If I do a RAID 1, which sets up a mirror of the HDs, and since the first new HD is partitioned with the OSX & Applications, AND is set up as the Startup Disk, then the second new HD will also mirror that?? Another QUESTION: Even if the second new HD does not mirror the OSX & Applications, the second HD will only mirror the space/partition not utilized by the OSX & Applications partition, correct?
    Thanks for your help!!
    Jack
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    OK I will try to answer your questions. To begin, if you want to mirror the 2 drives then you will need to boot from the SL install DVD or an external (USB/firewire) drive to set it up. IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.
    1) Yes partitions are created in Disk Utility
    2) Yes, you choose a volume Scheme (ie number of partitions) and size them by dragging the separator bar. Then select the planned boot partition and click Options..., then choose GPT. I think it is usually the default but check and make sure. Extended journaled is the usual format.
    3) You need to download Carbon Copy. It is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable. Consider making a donation as it is a very useful and frequently updated utility. It is fairly intuitive to use. You can also use the restore feature in Disk Utility but I have had more experience with Carbon Copy.
    4) Once the copy process is finished the new boot partition will show up under the startup disk selections (this tool is in System Preferences).
    *FROM 666Sheep:*
    If may i correct one thing: OP, don't choose GPT (GUID Partition Table). You got PPC Mac (G5), so valid partition type for you is Apple Partition Map (APM).
    GPT is for Intel Macs and you will not able to boot from this kind of partition.
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    Thanks for the correction- my bad. No familiarity with non-Intel Macs.

    *Hi All,*
    *Since this process will come to a head on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I hope to be successful in transferring Old HD data to new HD/s.*
    *A: I'm still a little foggy here, as I thought I'd set up the 2 new T-gig HDs so that if one of them failed, I'd still have the data backed up on the other HD; more ideas concerning this would be reassuring:*
    *WHAT DOES "IMO" mean?*
    *(IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.)*
    *As I understand the points made: After I partition the first new HD, and Carbon Copy data from old HD, I then install second new HD, and this will just act as an overflow from the first partitioned HD, correct? Because, if set up a Raid1/Mirror, the OSX partitioned portion of the first new HD will not copy to the second new HD, and that space on the second new HD will be wasted, correct?*
    *Also: I have to set up RAID1 (if I do not set up RAID0), correct?*
    *RAID 1*
    *From WIKI: RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, making a form of 1:1 ratio real time mirroring. The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array. A RAID 1 array requires a minimum of two drives.*
    *Carbon Copy is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable.*
    *1. Is my old HD partitioned? Is that done automatically by MAC prior to PC purchase?*
    *2. Do I Carbon Copy the whole old HD or just parts? (eg. OSX, Photo Shop, After Effects, Various Files)*
    *3. I read that it is necessary to DEACTIVATE Photo Shop (I have CS3) prior to doing Carbon Copy. Is that correct? If so, does this also apply to other Adobe applications? Such as After Affects, Illustrator??*
    *Thanks to all for the help!!*
    *G5 PowerMac, 2.5 GHz Dual, Dec. 2004, 6.5 GB RAM, 149 GB HD*

    Confusing Information:
    A1: You also want to make sure the drive you are backing up to is formatted Mac HFS Extended (HFS+) if using Mac OS 8.1 or above.
    A2: On PowerPC Macs, your clone should be partitioned as Apple Partition Map.
    *Q? I thought the new HD (1T) should be formatted in Extended Journaled?*
    B: Also disable Spotlight (in 10.4 only) on your destination drive using Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy to add the destination drive to the pane.
    *Q? I'm using 10.4.11, so, I should follow these instructions?*
    C: If possible, boot into safe mode to perform the backup (holding the SHIFT key at startup). In addition, you can clone while logged into another administrative user that you don't use at all to avoid further complications of changes which may be happening to your regular user (though don't use Fast User Switching to get into that other user, since that other user is still active when fast user switching is used). Otherwise you are going to be running a backup on a live system which could have changes happening while you are attempting to backup. These may yield an imperfect clone, with uncertain success at recovery. It may be possible that your clone will have its own hardware issues, so make at least two copies.

  • Data Load from a DSO to a Cube

    Hello,
    I am facing a problem
    Case:
    There is a DSO with following Char/Key Figure:
    Characteristics     ( Value-1 )     ( Value-2 )     ( Value-3 )
    A(Key)          ( A1 )     ( A2 )     ( A3 )

    Dimention          ( Values )     
    C          ( C1 )          
    D          ( D1 )

    My Question is why i am not getting KF1 value as 60.
    When i tried with including Key Fields of the DSO, i got all the records in the Cubes.
    Where i am mistaking?
    Can some one correct me please?
    Thanks.
    Avinash.

    Below are the basic steps which we follow in any BI 2004S system:
    1)Create datasource. Here u can set/check the Soucre System fields.
    2)Create Transformation for that datasource. (no more update rules/transfer rules)
    2.1) While creating transformation for DS it will ask you for data target name, so just assign where u want to update ur data.
    DataSource -> Transformation -> Data Target
    Now if you want to load data into data target from Source System Datasource:
    1) Create infopackage for that data source. If you are creating infopackage for new datasources, it will only allow you update upto PSA, all other options u can see as disabled.
    2)Now Create DTP (Data Transfer Process) for that data source.
    3) NOw schdule the Infopackage, once the data is loaded to PSA, you can execute your DTP which will load data to data target.
    If you are loading data from one one data target to other, no need to use PSA, you can directly execute DTP in that case.
    Data Source -> Transformation (IP/DTP) -> Data Target1 -> DTP ->Data Target 2
    Use the below link for detailed example:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/fc61e12d-0a01-0010-2883-e2fc63ef729b
    Infosources are no more mandatory with BI 7.0, below is the link to scenarios where we use infosources:

    item 1 is missing
    there is no iten num filed in my target field?
    ple let me know ur idea.

    Hi,
    The problem is in your ODS/DSO.
    In your ODS you have 'Doc_num' as key field.
    For both Items 1 & 2, you have same key field ( Doc_Num) Value.
    So, the first record will be over written by the second one. So from your ODS you will get only the latest record to the Cube.
    If you want to send both doc_nums to cube, you need to bring doc_num to the data fields area of ODS.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • How to get data back from an action ?

    Hello,
    Would it be possible to get data back from an action (out of the question EO_MESSAGE & ET_FAILED_KEY )?
    For example we got an order with order positions and we need a "function" to e.g. count all positions. Because of Performance the function should not be processed each time the order is changed, read or a position is added. Instead the function should be processed only if it was called explicitly.
    Is it possible to create a kind of action which is actually counting all entries and export the number of them?
    How to mark a parameter in is_parameters as exporting?
    Is this just done by (naming-) convention?
    What is the preferred way to have “methods” with returning/exporting values?
    Regards,
    Lorenz

    Hello Lorenz,
    As you have already figured out , the Action API provides you with only the messages and failed keys if any.
    Post action execution , you can always execute a retrieve or retrive by association , to get the latest buffer snapshot , which of course would include the changes that you have made in your action.
    If you want to ensure that users have explict control on execution of your "fucntion", then of course , you should model it as an action on the BO.
    The parameter is_parameters is an IMPORTING parameter. You CANNOT use it to export anything back from the action. For importing ,  you can of course have any structure to use as the is_paramaters , which you model as the action parameter structure which modelling your BO action.
    From an external entity the only way to interact with a BO is by consuming the BO services and you are bound by the BOBF standard interfaces. Any and all data you require needs to be modelled as node attributes ( persistent or transient ) and fetched using the RETRIEVE, RETRIEVE_BY_ASSOCIATION or QUERY services.
    Regards,
    Indranil.

  • Data load from Legacy system to BW Server through BAPI

    Requirements: We have different kind of legacy systems and SAP BW server. We want to load all legacy system data into SAP BW server using BAPI. Before loading we have to validate all data. If there are bad data, data missing we have to let the legacy system user/ operator knows to fix the data into their system with detail explanation. When it is fixed, we have to load the data again.
    Load Scenario:  We have two options to load data from legacy systems to BW Server.
    1.     We need to load data directly from legacy system to BW Server using BAPI program.
    2.     Legacy Systems data would be in workstations or flash drive as .txt (one line separated by comma) or .csv file. Need to load from .txt /.csv file to BW Server using BAPI program.
    What we want in the BAPI program code?
    It will Read / Retrieve data from text / csv file and will put into the Internal table. Internal table structure would be based on BAPI InfoObject structure.
    Call BAPI InfoObject function module ‘BAPI_IOBJ_CREATE’ to create InfoObject, include all necessary / default components, do the error check, load the data and return the status.
    Could some one help me with the sample code please? I am new in ABAP / BAPI coding.
    Is there any other better idea to load data from legacy system to BW server? BTW we are using BW 3.10. Is there any better option with BI 7.0 to resolve the issue? I appreciate your help.

    my answers:
    1. this is a scendario for a data push into SAP BW. You can only use SOAP-Based Transfer of Data.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/8012403dbedd5fe10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    (here for BW 3.5, but you'll find similar for 7.0)
    In this scenario you'll have an RFC dinamically created for every Infosource you need to transfer data.
    2. You can make a chain for each data load, so you can call the RFC "RSPC_API_CHAIN_START" to start the chain from external.
    the second solution is more simply and available on every release.

  • CRVS2010 beta - Date field from database does not display in report

    Hi there - can someone please help?!
    I am getting a problem where a date field from the database does not display in the report viewer (It displays on my dev machine, but not on the client machines...details given below)
    I upgraded to VS 2010
    I am using the CRVS2010 Beta
    My development machine is Windows 7 - and so is my fellow developer's
    We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2000
    We run the queries within VS and then we send the data table to VS using .SetDataSource
    We have a few reports which display the date on our dev machines (whether we run the EXE or from within Visual Studio)
    When we roll out to the client machines (running Windows XP SP3) then everything works, except that the date does not display (on quite a few reports)
    This is the only real issue I have had - a show stopper for me
    The rest works well - any input will be greatly appreciated

  • Error 1074395241: The template descriptor does not contain data required for rotation-invariant matching.

    Hello all,
    I am using the IMAQ Match Pattern 4 to detect the rotation angle of a template image. However, it shows the error: "Error 1074395241: The template descriptor does not contain data required for rotation-invariant matching." What is the problem exactly? How to solve this? The details are explained below.
    My project is a little bit complicated. Part of the block diagram containing the IMAQ Match Pattern 4 is shown below:
    The source image is a series of frames of images read from an AVI video (I used a for loop to process the images frame by frame). The template image is a selected region of the first frame. So it means, the user selected the object of ineterst in the first frame of the video, and in each of the following frames, we need to find the matched object of interest & determine its rotation angle. When I run the block diagram shown above, it does not have any error. However, it shows the rotation angle as zero no matter what it "really" is. Therefore, I changed the block diagram by adding the parameters, shown below:
    But in this case, when I run it, it shows the error that I have indicated in the subject line.
    If you need more details about my project to identify the problem, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    -Please go through pattern matching example which comes along with labview fiirst
    Go to labview Help>>Find Examples and you can search for example.
    -You have create template with angle range and what type of pattern matching you want use.
    -For this you have to use IMAQ Learn Pattern before using IMAQ Match Pattern 4

    - Mandatory
    I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.

    where user can enter the values directly.
    I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
    Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
    Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
    Thanks
    Ritesh

    Yep.
    Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
    My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
    where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
    @Prompt:
    You have flexibility to show options like:
    Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
    BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
    Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
    BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
    Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
    By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
    Workaround for your Problem is:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
    Like:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    Why, It should be blank??
    Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
    Hope you got my point.
    Thank You!!

  • How to select the data efficiently from the table

    hi every one,
      i need some help in selecting data from FAGLFLEXA table.i have to select many amounts from different group of G/L accounts
    (groups are predefined here  which contains a set of g/L account no.).
    if i select every time for each group then it will be a performance issue, in order to avoid it what should i do, can any one suggest me a method or a smaple query so that i can perform the task efficiently.

    Hi ,
    1.select and keep the data in internal table
    2.avoid select inside loop ..endloop.
    3.try to use for all entries
    check the below details
    Hi Praveen,
    Performance Notes
    1.Keep the Result Set Small
    You should aim to keep the result set small. This reduces both the amount of memory used in the database system and the network load when transferring data to the application server. To reduce the size of your result sets, use the WHERE and HAVING clauses.
    Using the WHERE Clause
    Whenever you access a database table, you should use a WHERE clause in the corresponding Open SQL statement. Even if a program containing a SELECT statement with no WHERE clause performs well in tests, it may slow down rapidly in your production system, where the data volume increases daily. You should only dispense with the WHERE clause in exceptional cases where you really need the entire contents of the database table every time the statement is executed.
    When you use the WHERE clause, the database system optimizes the access and only transfers the required data. You should never transfer unwanted data to the application server and then filter it using ABAP statements.
    Using the HAVING Clause
    After selecting the required lines in the WHERE clause, the system then processes the GROUP BY clause, if one exists, and summarizes the database lines selected. The HAVING clause allows you to restrict the grouped lines, and in particular, the aggregate expressions, by applying further conditions.
    Effect
    If you use the WHERE and HAVING clauses correctly:
    • There are no more physical I/Os in the database than necessary
    • No unwanted data is stored in the database cache (it could otherwise displace data that is actually required)
    • The CPU usage of the database host is minimize
    • The network load is reduced, since only the data that is required by the application is transferred to the application server.
    Minimize the Amount of Data Transferred
    Data is transferred between the database system and the application server in blocks. Each block is up to 32 KB in size (the precise size depends on your network communication hardware). Administration information is transported in the blocks as well as the data.
    To minimize the network load, you should transfer as few blocks as possible. Open SQL allows you to do this as follows:
    Restrict the Number of Lines
    If you only want to read a certain number of lines in a SELECT statement, use the UP TO <n> ROWS addition in the FROM clause. This tells the database system only to transfer <n> lines back to the application server. This is more efficient than transferring more lines than necessary back to the application server and then discarding them in your ABAP program.
    If you expect your WHERE clause to return a large number of duplicate entries, you can use the DISTINCT addition in the SELECT clause.
    Restrict the Number of Columns
    You should only read the columns from a database table that you actually need in the program. To do this, list the columns in the SELECT clause. Note here that the INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS addition in the INTO clause is only efficient with large volumes of data, otherwise the runtime required to compare the names is too great. For small amounts of data, use a list of variables in the INTO clause.
    Do not use * to select all columns unless you really need them. However, if you list individual columns, you may have to adjust the program if the structure of the database table is changed in the ABAP Dictionary. If you specify the database table dynamically, you must always read all of its columns.
    Use Aggregate Functions
    If you only want to use data for calculations, it is often more efficient to use the aggregate functions of the SELECT clause than to read the individual entries from the database and perform the calculations in the ABAP program.
    Aggregate functions allow you to find out the number of values and find the sum, average, minimum, and maximum values.
    Following an aggregate expression, only its result is transferred from the database.
    Data Transfer when Changing Table Lines
    When you use the UPDATE statement to change lines in the table, you should use the WHERE clause to specify the relevant lines, and then SET statements to change only the required columns.
    When you use a work area to overwrite table lines, too much data is often transferred. Furthermore, this method requires an extra SELECT statement to fill the work area. Minimize the Number of Data Transfers
    In every Open SQL statement, data is transferred between the application server and the database system. Furthermore, the database system has to construct or reopen the appropriate administration data for each database access. You can therefore minimize the load on the network and the database system by minimizing the number of times you access the database.
    Multiple Operations Instead of Single Operations
    When you change data using INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE, use internal tables instead of single entries. If you read data using SELECT, it is worth using multiple operations if you want to process the data more than once, other wise, a simple select loop is more efficient.
    Avoid Repeated Access
    As a rule you should read a given set of data once only in your program, and using a single access. Avoid accessing the same data more than once (for example, SELECT before an UPDATE).
    Avoid Nested SELECT Loops
    A simple SELECT loop is a single database access whose result is passed to the ABAP program line by line. Nested SELECT loops mean that the number of accesses in the inner loop is multiplied by the number of accesses in the outer loop. You should therefore only use nested SELECT loops if the selection in the outer loop contains very few lines.
    However, using combinations of data from different database tables is more the rule than the exception in the relational data model. You can use the following techniques to avoid nested SELECT statements:
    ABAP Dictionary Views
    You can define joins between database tables statically and systemwide as views in the ABAP Dictionary. ABAP Dictionary views can be used by all ABAP programs. One of their advantages is that fields that are common to both tables (join fields) are only transferred once from the database to the application server.
    Views in the ABAP Dictionary are implemented as inner joins. If the inner table contains no lines that correspond to lines in the outer table, no data is transferred. This is not always the desired result. For example, when you read data from a text table, you want to include lines in the selection even if the corresponding text does not exist in the required language. If you want to include all of the data from the outer table, you can program a left outer join in ABAP.
    The links between the tables in the view are created and optimized by the database system. Like database tables, you can buffer views on the application server. The same buffering rules apply to views as to tables. In other words, it is most appropriate for views that you use mostly to read data. This reduces the network load and the amount of physical I/O in the database.
    Joins in the FROM Clause
    You can read data from more than one database table in a single SELECT statement by using inner or left outer joins in the FROM clause.
    The disadvantage of using joins is that redundant data is read from the hierarchically-superior table if there is a 1:N relationship between the outer and inner tables. This can considerably increase the amount of data transferred from the database to the application server. Therefore, when you program a join, you should ensure that the SELECT clause contains a list of only the columns that you really need. Furthermore, joins bypass the table buffer and read directly from the database. For this reason, you should use an ABAP Dictionary view instead of a join if you only want to read the data.
    The runtime of a join statement is heavily dependent on the database optimizer, especially when it contains more than two database tables. However, joins are nearly always quicker than using nested SELECT statements.
    Subqueries in the WHERE and HAVING Clauses
    Another way of accessing more than one database table in the same Open SQL statement is to use subqueries in the WHERE or HAVING clause. The data from a subquery is not transferred to the application server. Instead, it is used to evaluate conditions in the database system. This is a simple and effective way of programming complex database operations.
    Using Internal Tables
    It is also possible to avoid nested SELECT loops by placing the selection from the outer loop in an internal table and then running the inner selection once only using the FOR ALL ENTRIES addition. This technique stems from the time before joins were allowed in the FROM clause. On the other hand, it does prevent redundant data from being transferred from the database.
    Using a Cursor to Read Data
    A further method is to decouple the INTO clause from the SELECT statement by opening a cursor using OPEN CURSOR and reading data line by line using FETCH NEXT CURSOR. You must open a new cursor for each nested loop. In this case, you must ensure yourself that the correct lines are read from the database tables in the correct order. This usually requires a foreign key relationship between the database tables, and that they are sorted by the foreign key. Minimize the Search Overhead
    You minimize the size of the result set by using the WHERE and HAVING clauses. To increase the efficiency of these clauses, you should formulate them to fit with the database table indexes.
    Database Indexes
    Indexes speed up data selection from the database. They consist of selected fields of a table, of which a copy is then made in sorted order. If you specify the index fields correctly in a condition in the WHERE or HAVING clause, the system only searches part of the index (index range scan).
    The primary index is always created automatically in the R/3 System. It consists of the primary key fields of the database table. This means that for each combination of fields in the index, there is a maximum of one line in the table. This kind of index is also known as UNIQUE.
    If you cannot use the primary index to determine the result set because, for example, none of the primary index fields occur in the WHERE or HAVING clause, the system searches through the entire table (full table scan). For this case, you can create secondary indexes, which can restrict the number of table entries searched to form the result set.
    You specify the fields of secondary indexes using the ABAP Dictionary. You can also determine whether the index is unique or not. However, you should not create secondary indexes to cover all possible combinations of fields.
    Only create one if you select data by fields that are not contained in another index, and the performance is very poor. Furthermore, you should only create secondary indexes for database tables from which you mainly read, since indexes have to be updated each time the database table is changed. As a rule, secondary indexes should not contain more than four fields, and you should not have more than five indexes for a single database table.
    If a table has more than five indexes, you run the risk of the optimizer choosing the wrong one for a particular operation. For this reason, you should avoid indexes with overlapping contents.
    Secondary indexes should contain columns that you use frequently in a selection, and that are as highly selective as possible. The fewer table entries that can be selected by a certain column, the higher that column’s selectivity. Place the most selective fields at the beginning of the index. Your secondary index should be so selective that each index entry corresponds to at most five percent of the table entries. If this is not the case, it is not worth creating the index. You should also avoid creating indexes for fields that are not always filled, where their value is initial for most entries in the table.
    If all of the columns in the SELECT clause are contained in the index, the system does not have to search the actual table data after reading from the index. If you have a SELECT clause with very few columns, you can improve performance dramatically by including these columns in a secondary index.
    Formulating Conditions for Indexes
    You should bear in mind the following when formulating conditions for the WHERE and HAVING clauses so that the system can use a database index and does not have to use a full table scan.
    Check for Equality and Link Using AND
    The database index search is particularly efficient if you check all index fields for equality (= or EQ) and link the expressions using AND.
    Use Positive Conditions
    The database system only supports queries that describe the result in positive terms, for example, EQ or LIKE. It does not support negative expressions like NE or NOT LIKE.
    If possible, avoid using the NOT operator in the WHERE clause, because it is not supported by database indexes; invert the logical expression instead.
    Using OR
    The optimizer usually stops working when an OR expression occurs in the condition. This means that the columns checked using OR are not included in the index search. An exception to this are OR expressions at the outside of conditions. You should try to reformulate conditions that apply OR expressions to columns relevant to the index, for example, into an IN condition.
    Using Part of the Index
    If you construct an index from several columns, the system can still use it even if you only specify a few of the columns in a condition. However, in this case, the sequence of the columns in the index is important. A column can only be used in the index search if all of the columns before it in the index definition have also been specified in the condition.
    Checking for Null Values
    The IS NULL condition can cause problems with indexes. Some database systems do not store null values in the index structure. Consequently, this field cannot be used in the index.
    Avoid Complex Conditions
    Avoid complex conditions, since the statements have to be broken down into their individual components by the database system.
    Reduce the Database Load
    Unlike application servers and presentation servers, there is only one database server in your system. You should therefore aim to reduce the database load as much as possible. You can use the following methods:
    Buffer Tables on the Application Server
    You can considerably reduce the time required to access data by buffering it in the application server table buffer. Reading a single entry from table T001 can take between 8 and 600 milliseconds, while reading it from the table buffer takes 0.2 - 1 milliseconds.
    Whether a table can be buffered or not depends its technical attributes in the ABAP Dictionary. There are three buffering types:
    • Resident buffering (100%) The first time the table is accessed, its entire contents are loaded in the table buffer.
    • Generic buffering In this case, you need to specify a generic key (some of the key fields) in the technical settings of the table in the ABAP Dictionary. The table contents are then divided into generic areas. When you access data with one of the generic keys, the whole generic area is loaded into the table buffer. Client-specific tables are often buffered generically by client.
    • Partial buffering (single entry) Only single entries are read from the database and stored in the table buffer.
    When you read from buffered tables, the following happens:
    1. An ABAP program requests data from a buffered table.
    2. The ABAP processor interprets the Open SQL statement. If the table is defined as a buffered table in the ABAP Dictionary, the ABAP processor checks in the local buffer on the application server to see if the table (or part of it) has already been buffered.
    3. If the table has not yet been buffered, the request is passed on to the database. If the data exists in the buffer, it is sent to the program.
    4. The database server passes the data to the application server, which places it in the table buffer.
    5. The data is passed to the program.
    When you change a buffered table, the following happens:
    1. The database table is changed and the buffer on the application server is updated. The database interface logs the update statement in the table DDLOG. If the system has more than one application server, the buffer on the other servers is not updated at once.
    2. All application servers periodically read the contents of table DDLOG, and delete the corresponding contents from their buffers where necessary. The granularity depends on the buffering type. The table buffers in a distributed system are generally synchronized every 60 seconds (parameter: rsdisp/bufreftime).
    3. Within this period, users on non-synchronized application servers will read old data. The data is not recognized as obsolete until the next buffer synchronization. The next time it is accessed, it is re-read from the database.
    You should buffer the following types of tables:
    • Tables that are read very frequently
    • Tables that are changed very infrequently
    • Relatively small tables (few lines, few columns, or short columns)
    • Tables where delayed update is acceptable.
    Once you have buffered a table, take care not to use any Open SQL statements that bypass the buffer.
    The SELECT statement bypasses the buffer when you use any of the following:
    • The BYPASSING BUFFER addition in the FROM clause
    • The DISTINCT addition in the SELECT clause
    • Aggregate expressions in the SELECT clause
    • Joins in the FROM clause
    • The IS NULL condition in the WHERE clause
    • Subqueries in the WHERE clause
    • The ORDER BY clause
    • The GROUP BY clause
    • The FOR UPDATE addition
    Furthermore, all Native SQL statements bypass the buffer.
    Avoid Reading Data Repeatedly
    If you avoid reading the same data repeatedly, you both reduce the number of database accesses and reduce the load on the database. Furthermore, a "dirty read" may occur with database tables other than Oracle. This means that the second time you read data from a database table, it may be different from the data read the first time. To ensure that the data in your program is consistent, you should read it once only and then store it in an internal table.
    Sort Data in Your ABAP Programs
    The ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement is not necessarily optimized by the database system or executed with the correct index. This can result in increased runtime costs. You should only use ORDER BY if the database sort uses the same index with which the table is read. To find out which index the system uses, use SQL Trace in the ABAP Workbench Performance Trace. If the indexes are not the same, it is more efficient to read the data into an internal table or extract and sort it in the ABAP program using the SORT statement.
    Use Logical Databases
    SAP supplies logical databases for all applications. A logical database is an ABAP program that decouples Open SQL statements from application programs. They are optimized for the best possible database performance. However, it is important that you use the right logical database. The hierarchy of the data you want to read must reflect the structure of the logical database, otherwise, they can have a negative effect on performance. For example, if you want to read data from a table right at the bottom of the hierarchy of the logical database, it has to read at least the key fields of all tables above it in the hierarchy. In this case, it is more efficient to use a SELECT statement.
    Work Processes
    Work processes execute the individual dialog steps in R/3 applications. The next two sections describe firstly the structure of a work process, and secondly the different types of work process in the R/3 System.
    Structure of a Work Process
    Work processes execute the dialog steps of application programs. They are components of an application server. The following diagram shows the components of a work process:
    Each work process contains two software processors and a database interface.
    Screen Processor
    In R/3 application programming, there is a difference between user interaction and processing logic. From a programming point of view, user interaction is controlled by screens. As well as the actual input mask, a screen also consists of flow logic. The screen flow logic controls a large part of the user interaction. The R/3 Basis system contains a special language for programming screen flow logic. The screen processor executes the screen flow logic. Via the dispatcher, it takes over the responsibility for communication between the work process and the SAPgui, calls modules in the flow logic, and ensures that the field contents are transferred from the screen to the flow logic.
    ABAP Processor
    The actual processing logic of an application program is written in ABAP - SAP’s own programming language. The ABAP processor executes the processing logic of the application program, and communicates with the database interface. The screen processor tells the ABAP processor which module of the screen flow logic should be processed next. The following screen illustrates the interaction between the screen and the ABAP processors when an application program is running.
    Database Interface
    The database interface provides the following services:
    • Establishing and terminating connections between the work process and the database.
    • Access to database tables
    • Access to R/3 Repository objects (ABAP programs, screens and so on)
    • Access to catalog information (ABAP Dictionary)
    • Controlling transactions (commit and rollback handling)
    • Table buffer administration on the application server.
    The following diagram shows the individual components of the database interface:
    The diagram shows that there are two different ways of accessing databases: Open SQL and Native SQL.
    Open SQL statements are a subset of Standard SQL that is fully integrated in ABAP. They allow you to access data irrespective of the database system that the R/3 installation is using. Open SQL consists of the Data Manipulation Language (DML) part of Standard SQL; in other words, it allows you to read (SELECT) and change (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) data. The tasks of the Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Control Language (DCL) parts of Standard SQL are performed in the R/3 System by the ABAP Dictionary and the authorization system. These provide a unified range of functions, irrespective of database, and also contain functions beyond those offered by the various database systems.
    Open SQL also goes beyond Standard SQL to provide statements that, in conjunction with other ABAP constructions, can simplify or speed up database access. It also allows you to buffer certain tables on the application server, saving excessive database access. In this case, the database interface is responsible for comparing the buffer with the database. Buffers are partly stored in the working memory of the current work process, and partly in the shared memory for all work processes on an application server. Where an R/3 System is distributed across more than one application server, the data in the various buffers is synchronized at set intervals by the buffer management. When buffering the database, you must remember that data in the buffer is not always up to date. For this reason, you should only use the buffer for data which does not often change.
    Native SQL is only loosely integrated into ABAP, and allows access to all of the functions contained in the programming interface of the respective database system. Unlike Open SQL statements, Native SQL statements are not checked and converted, but instead are sent directly to the database system. Programs that use Native SQL are specific to the database system for which they were written. R/3 applications contain as little Native SQL as possible. In fact, it is only used in a few Basis components (for example, to create or change table definitions in the ABAP Dictionary).
    The database-dependent layer in the diagram serves to hide the differences between database systems from the rest of the database interface. You choose the appropriate layer when you install the Basis system. Thanks to the standardization of SQL, the differences in the syntax of statements are very slight. However, the semantics and behavior of the statements have not been fully standardized, and the differences in these areas can be greater. When you use Native SQL, the function of the database-dependent layer is minimal.
    Types of Work Process
    Although all work processes contain the components described above, they can still be divided into different types. The type of a work process determines the kind of task for which it is responsible in the application server. It does not specify a particular set of technical attributes. The individual tasks are distributed to the work processes by the dispatcher.
    Before you start your R/3 System, you determine how many work processes it will have, and what their types will be. The dispatcher starts the work processes and only assigns them tasks that correspond to their type. This means that you can distribute work process types to optimize the use of the resources on your application servers.
    The following diagram shows again the structure of an application server, but this time, includes the various possible work process types:
    The various work processes are described briefly below. Other parts of this documentation describe the individual components of the application server and the R/3 System in more detail.
    Dialog Work Process
    Dialog work processes deal with requests from an active user to execute dialog steps.
    Update Work Process
    Update work processes execute database update requests. Update requests are part of an SAP LUW that bundle the database operations resulting from the dialog in a database LUW for processing in the background.
    Background Work Process
    Background work processes process programs that can be executed without user interaction (background jobs).
    Enqueue Work Process
    The enqueue work process administers a lock table in the shared memory area. The lock table contains the logical database locks for the R/3 System and is an important part of the SAP LUW concept. In an R/3 System, you may only have one lock table. You may therefore also only have one application server with enqueue work processes.
    Spool Work Process
    The spool work process passes sequential datasets to a printer or to optical archiving. Each application server may contain several spool work process.
    The services offered by an application server are determined by the types of its work processes. One application server may, of course, have more than one function. For example, it may be both a dialog server and the enqueue server, if it has several dialog work processes and an enqueue work process.
    You can use the system administration functions to switch a work process between dialog and background modes while the system is still running. This allows you, for example, to switch an R/3 System between day and night operation, where you have more dialog than background work processes during the day, and the other way around during the night.
    ABAP Application Server
    R/3 programs run on application servers. They are an important component of the R/3 System. The following sections describe application servers in more detail.
    Structure of an ABAP Application Server
    The application layer of an R/3 System is made up of the application servers and the message server. Application programs in an R/3 System are run on application servers. The application servers communicate with the presentation components, the database, and also with each other, using the message server.
    The following diagram shows the structure of an application server:
    The individual components are:
    Work Processes
    An application server contains work processes, which are components that can run an application. Work processes are components that are able to execute an application (that is, one dialog step each). Each work process is linked to a memory area containing the context of the application being run. The context contains the current data for the application program. This needs to be available in each dialog step. Further information about the different types of work process is contained later on in this documentation.
    Dispatcher
    Each application server contains a dispatcher. The dispatcher is the link between the work processes and the users logged onto the application server. Its task is to receive requests for dialog steps from the SAP GUI and direct them to a free work process. In the same way, it directs screen output resulting from the dialog step back to the appropriate user.
    Gateway
    Each application server contains a gateway. This is the interface for the R/3 communication protocols (RFC, CPI/C). It can communicate with other application servers in the same R/3 System, with other R/3 Systems, with R/2 Systems, or with non-SAP systems.
    The application server structure as described here aids the performance and scalability of the entire R/3 System. The fixed number of work processes and dispatching of dialog steps leads to optimal memory use, since it means that certain components and the memory areas of a work process are application-independent and reusable. The fact that the individual work processes work independently makes them suitable for a multi-processor architecture. The methods used in the dispatcher to distribute tasks to work processes are discussed more closely in the section Dispatching Dialog Steps.
    Shared Memory
    All of the work processes on an application server use a common main memory area called shared memory to save contexts or to buffer constant data locally.
    The resources that all work processes use (such as programs and table contents) are contained in shared memory. Memory management in the R/3 System ensures that the work processes always address the correct context, that is the data relevant to the current state of the program that is running. A mapping process projects the required context for a dialog step from shared memory into the address of the relevant work process. This reduces the actual copying to a minimum.
    Local buffering of data in the shared memory of the application server reduces the number of database reads required. This reduces access times for application programs considerably. For optimal use of the buffer, you can concentrate individual applications (financial accounting, logistics, human resources) into separate application server groups.
    Database Connection
    When you start up an R/3 System, each application server registers its work processes with the database layer, and receives a single dedicated channel for each. While the system is running, each work process is a user (client) of the database system (server). You cannot change the work process registration while the system is running. Neither can you reassign a database channel from one work process to another. For this reason, a work process can only make database changes within a single database logical unit of work (LUW). A database LUW is an inseparable sequence of database operations. This has important consequences for the programming model explained below.
    Dispatching Dialog Steps
    The number of users logged onto an application server is often many times greater than the number of available work processes. Furthermore, it is not restricted by the R/3 system architecture. Furthermore, each user can run several applications at once. The dispatcher has the important task of distributing all dialog steps among the work processes on the application server.
    The following diagram is an example of how this might happen:
    1. The dispatcher receives the request to execute a dialog step from user 1 and directs it to work process 1, which happens to be free. The work process addresses the context of the application program (in shared memory) and executes the dialog step. It then becomes free again.
    2. The dispatcher receives the request to execute a dialog step from user 2 and directs it to work process 1, which is now free again. The work process executes the dialog step as in step 1.
    3. While work process 1 is still working, the dispatcher receives a further request from user 1 and directs it to work process 2, which is free.
    4. After work processes 1 and 2 have finished processing their dialog steps, the dispatcher receives another request from user 1 and directs it to work process 1, which is free again.
    5. While work process 1 is still working, the dispatcher receives a further request from user 2 and directs it to work process 2, which is free.
    From this example, we can see that:
    • A dialog step from a program is assigned to a single work process for execution.
    • The individual dialog steps of a program can be executed on different work processes, and the program context must be addressed for each new work process.
    • A work process can execute dialog steps of different programs from different users.
    The example does not show that the dispatcher tries to distribute the requests to the work processes such that the same work process is used as often as possible for the successive dialog steps in an application. This is useful, since it saves the program context having to be addressed each time a dialog step is executed.
    Dispatching and the Programming Model
    The separation of application and presentation layer made it necessary to split up application programs into dialog steps. This, and the fact that dialog steps are dispatched to individual work processes, has had important consequences for the programming model.
    As mentioned above, a work process can only make database changes within a single database logical unit of work (LUW). A database LUW is an inseparable sequence of database operations. The contents of the database must be consistent at its beginning and end. The beginning and end of a database LUW are defined by a commit command to the database system (database commit). During a database LUW, that is, between two database commits, the database system itself ensures consistency within the database. In other words, it takes over tasks such as locking database entries while they are being edited, or restoring the old data (rollback) if a step terminates in an error.
    A typical SAP application program extends over several screens and the corresponding dialog steps. The user requests database changes on the individual screens that should lead to the database being consistent once the screens have all been processed. However, the individual dialog steps run on different work processes, and a single work process can process dialog steps from other applications. It is clear that two or more independent applications whose dialog steps happen to be processed on the same work process cannot be allowed to work with the same database LUW.
    Consequently, a work process must open a separate database LUW for each dialog step. The work process sends a commit command (database commit) to the database at the end of each dialog step in which it makes database changes. These commit commands are called implicit database commits, since they are not explicitly written into the application program.
    These implicit database commits mean that a database LUW can be kept open for a maximum of one dialog step. This leads to a considerable reduction in database load, serialization, and deadlocks, and enables a large number of users to use the same system.
    However, the question now arises of how this method (1 dialog step = 1 database LUW) can be reconciled with the demand to make commits and rollbacks dependent on the logical flow of the application program instead of the technical distribution of dialog steps. Database update requests that depend on one another form logical units in the program that extend over more than one dialog step. The database changes associated with these logical units must be executed together and must also be able to be undone together.
    The SAP programming model contains a series of bundling techniques that allow you to group database updates together in logical units. The section of an R/3 application program that bundles a set of logically-associated database operations is called an SAP LUW. Unlike a database LUW, a SAP LUW includes all of the dialog steps in a logical unit, including the database update.
