Development Systems

Hi Guys,
being a newbie to BW i was wondering when development systems are used in the ETL process and why. Could anyone please explain this to me? Your help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
The ETL process of a Data Warehouse solution involves following elements:
1. Data Mart (usually multidimensional cubes)
2. Data Warehouse consisting of:
a. ODS
b. PSA
3. Source system
The ETL proces handles the moving of data from 3 to 1. When creating a Data Warehouse solution You usually need to develop partly on Your source system dev. environment and partly on Your Data Warehouse dev. environment.
All above is general for all DW vendors.
When it comes to BW it supports a great deal of ETL features off course mainly focused on having a SAP OLTP system as source system. After having designed the datamodel that such as ODS and Cubes, You must design the logic between the diffent layers of the solution. When implementing this logic (source system logic, update rules and transferrules) and setting up the batch jobs (process chains) You utilize the ETL features of the BW system and source system, which is usually a SAP OLTP system which has a Plug In for BW that includes certain ETL features as well.

New Development system copy from Production

Hi All,
Hope you can help me out here with some ideas.
We are currently planning to implement a new SAP BW Development system, and for this we would like to make it a 1:1 copy of our current production system. Meaning all from customizing, ABAP, workbench objects etc.
But what we do not want is all the transaction and master data in infoobject, cubes etc., we are only interested in the structure and objects. Therefore we can rule out "System copy".
My question is then, is there any other ways to do this when system copy is a no go? I know we can do client copy but then we will not get all the workbench / ABAP programs which we need.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thx. in Advance

Hi Rasmus,
But what we do not want is all the transaction and master data in infoobject, cubes etc., we are only interested in the structure and objects. Therefore we can rule out "System copy".
Options 1: As BI objects are cross client , copying client will not solve your purpose 100%.
You can perform system copy and then clean up data in DEV
Option 2: You can create a new Development and then create TRs for required configuration objects and move to new development system.
Option 3: Use SLO tools to perform container copy without any data.
Hope this helps.

VISA Write differs between TS Development System and LV Run-Time Engine

Hi all
I made an application on LabVIEW to test BERs (Bit Error Rates), and I used VISA Write between two COM ports to exchange data.
Everything works fine using just LabVIEW.
Afterwards, I used TestStand to call my application (VI). The LabVIEW adapters from TestStand were set to Development System by default, and everything works OK!!
Finally, I needed to disable the development system, and set the LabVIEW adapters from TestStand to LabVIEW Run-Time Engine and I notice that the speed of the data exchange between the two COM ports decreased dramatically.
The only difference was the speed...because all the data (changed slowly in this case) arrived correctly on the other COM port too.
The symptom was the same as decreasing the baud rate...but the baud rate and all the other configurations remained the same. The only difference was the change between Develpment System to Run-Time Engine to notice this decreased speed between the exchanged data using VISA Write.
Any solutions for this?
Thanks in advance
Joao
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Joao,
you state that using the LV Developement System as execution platform for your LV code modules result in faster datatransfer between the COM ports than using the LV Run-Time Engine.
So i am pondering: Does this refer to TS at all?
Please check the following:
Run you communication using a sole LV application in LV Developement System. This should be fast. Now build an executable of this application and run that one. Do you see the same behavior?
If there is no difference in a sole LV approach, there have to be some settings in the TS approach making this slow. So please let us know:
Are there different modules involved in that data transfer (which in fact points to the reply Christophe made)?
What about loading/unloading options of the modules?
How big is the hierarchy of the modules, e.g. is it necessary for the RTE to load stuff the Dev Env has already in memory due to loading a lvproj.......?
Could you provide a simple example sequence+modules showing this behavior?
What versions of LV and TS are you using?
hope this helps,
Norbert

Error -17600 when switching from LabVIEW Development System to LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in Adapter Configuration

I receive an error message (code -17600) while loading my test sequence after switching from LabVIEW Development System (2009 f3) to LabVIEW Run-TIme Engine using the Adapter Configuration.
ErrorCode: -17600,
Failed to load a required step's associated module.
LabVIEW Run-Time Engine version 9.0.1f3.
When I switch back to the LV development system, everything is OK, and the sequence loads and runs perfectly.
My TestStand Engine Version is 2012 f1 (5.0.0.262).
I'd appreciate any help on this issue.
Roman

Hi Roman,
There are a couple of things you can try:
1) Determine if the LabVIEW RunTime Engine is corrupted in some way. Create a new simple VI with no sub-VIs, using the same LabVIEW Development system you used for mass-compiling the VIs. Create a TestStand step that calls this VI and ensure it runs correctly. Now switch your LabVIEW adapter to use the RuntimeEngine and choose the "Auto detect using VI version" option.
Check if the simple VI is loadable and runs without errors in TestStand.
If the step generates the same error, you should try a re-install of the LabVIEW development system.
If not, its most likely that there is some VI you are using that is not loadable in the LabVIEW Runtime Engine because:
1) Some sub-VI is still not saved in the right version or bitness. Open the VI heirarchy of the top-level VI that you are calling from TestStand and examine the paths of all the sub-VIs to check if they were in the folder you masscompiled and re-save any that are outside this directory.
Also, when you try to close the top level VI, do you get a prompt to save any unsaved files? If so, they could be the sub-VIs that are not saved in the right version. Save all of them.
Check if you are loading any VIs programatically and if these are compiled and saved in the right version as well.
2) There is some feature you are using in your LabVIEW code that is not supported in the LabVIEW RunTime Engine. To check this, add your top-level VI to a LabVIEW project and create a new build specification and create a new executable from this VI.
    Right-click "Build Specifications" and choose "New->Application(EXE)".
    In the Application Properties window, select Source Files and choose the top level VI as the start-up VI.
    Save the properties.
    Right-click on the newly created build specification and choose Build.
Run this executable (it will be run using the LabVIEW RunTime) and check if the VI has a broken arrow indicating that it cannot be loaded and run in the LabVIEW Runtime Engine.
You might need to examine your code and find the feature which is not supported in the LabVIEW RunTime and find an alternative.
Another thing i forgot to mention the last time around is if you are using 64-bit LabVIEW with 32-bit TestStand, then executing code using LabVIEW RTE from TestStand will not work since the 64-bit LabVIEW RTE dll cannot be loaded by the 32-bit TestStand process.
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, consider sharing your LabVIEW code so i can take a look.

TRJ

"Open VI Reference" slowly in development system

Hello,
One of our programs has a plugin structure. We open more than 50 VIs over VI Server. This is fast in runtime system, but slowly in the development system. The problem is the function "Open VI Reference". If you try to open an Ref to a very small vi, it takes nearly 2s per VI. In runtime system this is done in 2-4ms.
So the program takes ages to start in development system.
Is there a way to speed this up?
Thanks
Sletrab

Is it always slow or fast the first time? Could it be that you're not closing the ref afterwards?
And/or debugging setting in the vi's,, which ofcourse is turned off in a .exe

LV 8.6 will Not Compile in LV 2010 - Labview 10.0 Development System Has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close

I submitted this support request to NI on 8/12/2010.
When I compile my LV 8.6 app in LV2010 I get this error:
"LabVIEW 10.0 Development System has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I was told to do a "Mass Compile" of my LV 8.6 app in LV2010...this failed too.
I was then told to go to each and every vi and "Mass Compile" individually...after about the 50th vi this got old quickly...and it still didn't compile. I then sent NI tech support "my code". The good news is my LV 8.6 app didn't compile with LV2010 @ NI.
My LV 8.6 app compiles and runs great in LV 8.6. I don't want to be left behind with the newer upgrades and I want to move to LV2010. I have lots of LV8.6 code to maintain and I really don't have the time to debug all of my apps.
I was told this will be looked @ in LV2010 SP1.
One note...back up your LV8.6 data before you move to LV2010. Once your LV8.6 code is compiled in LV2010 you will not be able to go back to LV8.6.
I restored all of my LV8.6 code and I'm back working with LV8.6.
It's a tough call, do I stay in LV8.6 and get left behind?
Do I bite the bullet and try to debug this mess in LV2010?
I was told the compiler is completely different in LV2010. That's great, but one reason I have NI Maintenance Agreement is to keep updated with the latest software. I can't afford to re-compile LV code every few years. Like most people, maintaining my Apps with customer's revisions, and modifications is enough work. I don't want more work!
I was told LV2010 SP1 would likely appear in May or June of 2011. I'd hate to break out my old Turbo Pascal apps again...but hey...they still work! My NI maintenance agreement is due this month too, I guess I'll pay NI one more year, and see if they come up with a solution. But if NI doesn't fix this LV8.6 compile in LV2010 problem...I don't see any value staying current with LV software.
I found another Bug with LV2010...you are going to love this one!
There is a new "LV Update Service". Perfect! I like updating my LV software when new patches are available. When I click "update" the update spins over and over "Checking for New Version". I have let it run ALL day with no results...just sits and spins over and over.
OK, I know give NI a break! Yes, LV2010 has a new compiler...and Yes, I will renew my NI maintenance agreement. I just want NI to know failing to compile just one LV8.6 app in LV2010 is not a good idea for customer relations.
Thanks,
Doug

Is there a way to activate the whole application in Non Development system?

Hi All,
Is there a way to activate the whole application in Non Development system? Using some BRF Plus Tool.
We copied a sample application and customized the same as per our requirement. The same is then released to Test System for testing. On Test system this application with all component is in non-active state. We re activated the application with all the component and released it to Test System. But still the application is inactive.
Application is a of storage type system and so cannot use changeability exit to activate on test system.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is IT_FKKMAVS part of the same transport request or was it sent already earlier?
You may have a look at the request if it was OK. Probably not.
Maybe in the meantime more requests reached the system that now have in combination solved the problem. What is your release and support package level?
Higher versions of BRFplus have a lot of automatic correction mechanisms built into it.
E.g. problematic imports are collected in an import queue. As soon as a request comes in that fixes any problems the after import processing for faulty imports is automatically redone.

Hi Aluri,
I do faced the same problem before....
Is RFC connections and Partner Profiles are done properly between BW system and R/3 systems.........
If it has done properly....... Try to Activate the R/3 source system at BW side...
Still if you are getting the same error..
Right click on R/3 Source system at BW -> select Resore....
It will ask you RFCUSER passward for BW adn R/3
After doing it also still if you get the errors ...
Try to configure the all these steps....
Step 1: Create a Logical System at BW and R/3 side using t-code SALE
Step 2: Create the RFC Connection between BW to R/3 and R/3 to BW using the SM59 and Do the Test Connection and Remote login
Step 3: Create the Port Number for IDOC processing at R/3 and BW sides using WE21
Step4 : Create the Partner Profiles at R/3 and BW sides using the WE20
Specify the Inbound and Outbound parameters at R/3 and BW

If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
Hope this helps.

What is the difference between developement system and delivery system?

Hello Experts,
I have some questions regarding publishing the content on delivery system.
Could some one help me.
1) Can we use Development System as Delivery System?
2) Can we Publish a Site into Development System?
3) How to check whether the installation done in development mode or in delivery mode? I mean do we have any procedure to check ?
4) What are the Advantages of Delivery System over the Development System?
Note: I installed Webcenter sites11gR1 on Weblogic10.3 server and windows 7.
Thanks in advance
Rajendar.

Rajendar Raj wrote:
I got the answers.
1) Can we use Development System as Delivery System?
Ans:
Yes, a development system contains the same functionality as a delivery system. Conversely a delivery system doesn't have a contributor interface so it cannot be used for managing assets.
Not recommended and it also depends on the sizing of your environment and tuning. Delivery systems usually are architected with performance in mind, depending on the expected load, logs are minimal and usually Remote Satellite Servers are added. Important as well is that no content or any assets is created directly on the delivery system, you might run into unique ID constrains when you publish content from Authoring to Delivery, in your case Development.
2) Can we Publish a Site into Development System?
Ans:
Yes, you can.
Be careful this is not recommended, you can run into unique id constraints issues
3) How to check whether the installation done in development mode or in delivery mode? I mean do we have any procedure to check ?
Ans:
Look in the ominstallinfo directory, in the location where WebCenter Sites was installed. there is a file called omii.ini that contains installation-time choices and parameters. Look for the parameter "Development"
- true, indicates it was a Development type install. Advanced UI will be available, as will the Contributor UI
- false, indicates it was a Delivery type install. Only Advanced UI will be available.
4) What are the Advantages of Delivery System over the Development System?
Ans:
A delivery type install is more secure, as the contributor UI and some other editorial components are not installed. It also prevents editors from changing content on the delivery system by mistake.
In general Delivery systems are architected different, more emphasis on performance, caching and security.
Thanks and Regards

Transport Webi Reports and Web services as the backend of dashboards from BO Production to BO Development system

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BO 4.1. I have made several dashboards on top of web services ie;Web Service Method. I have 2 systems in BO ie; Development and Production Systems.The BW production system is connected to BO Development and Production both.
The Webi reports are made on top of BI BEx Query. From the webi reports, BI Web Services are made on top of which the dashboards are made further.
The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas

Hi Gill,
As per your reply,with the promotion managament i have make the web services again manually in Dev system...Right?
Is there any way possible that i can transport the webservices and the webi reports usind Query AS A Web Service Designer. And if yes, through this QAAWS will the WSDL or the URL required for the web services in the connection button in dashboards will automatically updated or changed as per the Development System?
But i am not able to enable the "Deploy to Other servers Option" in QAAWS.
Can you please help?

How do you move changes from your project developments into the maintenance development system?

Good day colleagues.
We are in the process of introducing retrofit, and the picture is clear for us, generally speaking, to retrofit the project landscape with the changes done in the maintenance landscape.
What about the other way around? We mean, when the project is set to Go Live, we understand the transports will be all added, e.g. to the Production System buffer to be moved there via Maintenance Cycle, based on the way we defined the project and the logical component being used.
However, how do you feed those project transports to your Maintenance Development System using ChaRM? or do you do that Manually? We doubt. Copying Production back into Development? no way !!!
How do you establish that? We have a sort of idea but the documents about retrofit only seem to talk about moving transports one way, as far as we have found.
Many thanks for any feedback.
Juan Carlos

Hi Piyush.
I apologize for a late close on this questioning about moving projects back into the maintenance stream.
Basically there are 2 solutions as far as we know:
1. What Vivek mentions, which is performing a cutover and repacking the project transports into 2 transports in the maintenance stream: A workbench and a customizing.   In that sense, at the end of the day you end up moving just 2 transports to the maintenance stream up to Production.   They contain all your project objects. Thanks to Vivek, again.
This is a very practical and interesting approach. The only reason we did not adopt it, is based on the fact that if by any chance we encounter an issue with a project transport object in the maintenance stream (Dev or QA), now that all is bundled together, we may be stuck right at the time weare getting ready to GoLive. How tough is going to be that issue? how easy and quick to fix?how much would that affect the whole project time frame?   Those questions made us decide to option 2.
2. What we are doing is that at cutover we move at the same time all project transports to the transport buffer of each of the maintenance stream systems (Dev, QA, and Prod).   We first open the gate to move the transports to Dev and we test, then to QA and we test, as well. If there may be an issue, and the issue can not be quickly resolved by the project team, we can go up to the extreme of using a new feature introduced in ChaRM in SP10, if we are not wrong, but definitely available in SP12. That feature provides a way to selectively decide which transports of the release are to Go Live and which ones do not, although we have no had to use that feature, yet, but it is there.
We do not see any risk on adding the transports to the maintenance buffers at the same time. There are ways to control the systems that are open for receiving transports, and the project phases, which guarantees no room for error. There have to be deliberate actions taken (more than one in our case), to wrongly move a project to GoLive before its time comes.
That is more or less the scenario Piyush.
Hope that explains the scenario. So far no decision on really publishing as a blog. It seems not to be written on stone, as consulting with different companies, each adds its own flavor to the recipe and shuffle ideas to get to what they are looking for and makes them happy.

How can I build a LabView application that uses the 2012 runtime, on a development system with LabView 2013 or 2014 installed?

I need to build a LabView application .exe to run with the 2012 Runtime, for legacy support. I currently have LabView 2013 installed on my development system, and have 2014 available. How can I build an application that uses the 2012 runtime on this development system? Do I have to downgrade to 2012? Thank you.

We have existing customers that have installed our application that was originally built with 2012 (provided by a contractor that is no longer available). Due to IT regulations, it is far easier to update these customers by simply replacing the .exe file, than creating an install that their IT department must run.
If I have to downgrade to LabView 2012, where can I get the installation for this?
