Effort Estimation for a New BI implimentation Project

Dear Experts,
I need Effort Estimation model excel sheet or any other doc for a New BI implimentation Project.
I want to know how much time it will take for the following 2 scenarios.
1. Activatating the business content Object in BI7 for all BC extracotrs in ECC.
2. If content is not suitable for the requirment then what is the time frame for creating the Customized BI objects and DS,ES and all in ECC.
I knew it the sam has been circulated to their personal e-mail ids earlier from this forum.

Effort estimation for upgrading Sap Net weaver 7.0 to EHP2 SP6

HI,
We have BI 7.0 on SAP Netweaver 7.0, we want to upgrade it ot EHP2 SP6.
Current patch level is 16 & oracle 10.2.2.0 database.
Can anyone tell me how much the time effort is needed.
my customer wants an effort estimation for upgrading EHP2.
please give me some bried idea about this acitivity.

Nobody can tell you any time values. This depends on the used hardware, the speed of the underlying I/O subsystem, the number of processes you use, the speed of the server, number of languages etc. etc.
1 - 5 is done online, nobody will notice because all the work is done in a shadow instance .Downtime says it all and 7 and 8 are postprocessing work.
To try that do a copy of the production to a sandbox and play with the values and see yourself how much time you need.

Looking for the New Upgradations in Project Costing from 11.5.3 to 11.5.10

Hi All,
Iam looking at the New Features added in Project Costing as we need to give a demo for the client on the advantages of Upgrading from 11.5.3 to 11.5.10. any record on these lines would be of great help to us.Appreciate your kind suggestions in this regard.
Thanks in Advance,
Satyam Team

Hi, a basic brief of the upgrade the principal steps are:
1.- Cloning your 11.5.3 OEBS to a new server (IBM AIX 5.2), with similar characteristics to the final server in Production.
2.- To continue with the steps described in the note of metalink 316365.1 - Oracle Applications Release 11.5.10.2 Maintenance Pack Installation Instructions.
3.- To do a set of tests that include cycles of revenue and expenditures, this way as technical tests, and review all customizations.
This basic step must be led to end in an environment of test, and when all the tests certified the environment , to do it in production server.
Good Luck

Directory structure for the new Data Services Project

1) I do as prescribed in the manual "Building and deploying
Flex 2 Applications", page 325
"To create a web application make a copy of the /flex
directory and its contents. Rename the copy and store it in the
same location under /servers/default directory."
("flex" is an empty Flex Data Services application that
serves as a template for creating your custom application)
2) I create a corresponding project from Flex Builder 2 :
Project type: Flex Data Services
Root folder: C:\fds2\jrun4\servers\default\MyDS
Root URL:
http://localhost:8700/default/MyDS
Project name: MyDS
Project contents: C:\fds2\jrun4\servers\default\MyDS
2) I build the project
Immediately after "build project" the directory structure at
C:\fds2\jrun4\servers\default\MyDS becomes the following:
.settings
bin
----------------META-INF
----------------WEB-INF
---------------- --------------- classes
---------------- ---------------flex
--------------------------------jsp
--------------------------------lib
-------------------------------sessions
html-template
META-INF
WEB-INF
----------------classes
----------------flex
----------------jsp
----------------lib
----------------sessions
Notice that bin directory now contains another pair of
META-INF and WEB-INF in addition to those already existing in the
template project "flex".
Can anybody comment on this directory structure?
Which META-INF and WEB-INF are supposed to be used for
configuration?
What is the purpose of having two pairs of META-INF and
WEB-INF in the same web app?

Hello -
first, those folders are necessary in deployment - You need
only the contents of the bin folder for deployment, not the
sources. Since you're compiling the application locally in FB2 it
places all of the supporting and necessary files into one location
namely the "bin" folder. You'd deploy the "bin" folder's contents
to the FDS server, perhaps another FDS server that is not your
"development" server -- like a production server. The data and
configuration information that your app needs for FDS services are
stored in the WEB-INF and META-INF folders so these need to travel
with the final product. On the production server you'd just cop the
"bin" folder and it's contents to the /servers/default folder -
where you could then rename your bin folder to "MyDS"

Best Practice for Portal Patches and effort estimation

Hi ,
One of our client is applying the following patches
1. ECC 6.0 SP15(currently SP14)
2. ESS MSS SP15(currently SP14 with some level of functional customization )
3. EP 7 SP18(currently SP14)
We would like to kwow the best practice for applying portal patches and the effort estimation for redoing the portal devt on the new patch.
o   What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
o   How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
     manually re-entered?
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
    Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Regards,
Revathi Raju.

Hi Revathi,
o What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
overall effort to apply the patch is apprx 1/2-1 days for NW7 system. This is exclude the patch files download because it's based on your download speed.
o How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
manually re-entered?
Depending on your customization. Normally it wont effect if you created the customzation application apart from SAP standard application
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Any change that related to NWDI, you might be need to re-deployed from NWDI itself.
Thanks

Effort estimation (Aufwandschu00E4tzung) for WDA

Hi,
is there any best practice out there how we can calculate a effort estimation for a the development of a WDA application? Any Excel-Tool, anything?
I thought about calculating for every screen (if it contains for example 3 tabstrips i would calculate alltogeather 4 screens) and add some time for the component. But this is by far too vaguely, isn't it?
How do you do this usually?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Axel,
the time one needs for developing a Web Dynpro ABAP Application mainly depends on the answers to the following questions:
Are there good enough APIs that can be used for handling most of the business logic required?
How flexible should the application be? Do you need to generate the ui or is it sufficient to have fixed screens?
Can components be used again?
--> Ask your developers, not excel

SSM Effort Estimation

Hi All,
Can you please share the components/objects that should be considered while doing Effort Estimation for SSM projects.
For Eg :- No. of KPI.
Regards,
Niksha

Niksha,
You have to start with defining the initial deliverables, both on the business side (how many scorecards, KPIs, and how many areas will be involved with the initial rollout) and the technical side ( how many models, what other data systems need to be connected for initial data).
I agree with the other responses above, they offer good guidance and things to consider. The amount of effort that it takes is very dependent upon the initial deliverables and the scope of the project. Strategy Management works best with an incremential implementation that allows for a quick start and then to build on the progress you've made, and build out by including more departments/LOB/regions/etc.
On the business side, as pointed out in a previous response, the organization needs to have defined goals and objectives - the strategy drives the measurements, On the technical side, there is the design of the dimensional models and the connections to other systems or databases to bring in the data.
By setting an incremential approach and phased roll-out, you get the best results for your efforts.
Regards,
Bob

Java vs. C# for a new project

Hi,
I know this has probably been done to death, but the world changes and the old arguments lose their validity so I'd be interested in people's thoughts:
I work for a largely C# shop, but due to a general dislike of .net and Microsoft from the developers there is the possibility of using something non-MS for a new project. Currently it is looking like the app will be a traditional client-server app. Java has been mentioned as a possible alternative, and being an old Java guy myself I'm excited about the possibility of using it again!
I have a meeting with the directors to discuss reasons why we'd want to use Java in place of C#. The directors have made a lot of cash out of MS platforms, but are open to change if I can convince them - I've come up with the following reasons:
1) Java is more widely adopted in 'serious' industry and the biggest websites e.g. ebay, Amazon etc. all use it as their platform of choice
2) Portable - we are having a desktop client. Whilst running on non-Windows desktops may not be a priority now, Macs and Linux are making noteworthy ground (Apple are nearly tipping 10% for the first time in decades!). Java would let us sell to these clients too.
3) Cheaper - Don't need to pay thousands for MS licences before they can even run our software (IIS, SQL Server etc.)
4) Better community - can leverage various OSS projects to accelerate development - in the .net world similar components are likely to be chargeable (and probably expensive!)
What do you think to my reasons and can anyone think of any other compelling arguments?
Many thanks,
Ash

makes no sense. Use the appropriate technology for the solution rather than something 'you like'.
Their 'dislike of .NET' almost certainly means they're stuck in the past and don't want to put in the effort to learn anything newer than VB6.
I have a meeting with the directors to discuss reasons why we'd want to use Java in place of C#. The directors have made a lot of cash out of MS platforms, but are open to change if I can convince them - I've come up with the following reasons:
for client/server? Unless you need to support more platforms than just Windows using Java instead of .NET makes no sense.
1) Java is more widely adopted in 'serious' industry and the biggest websites e.g. ebay, Amazon etc. all use it as their platform of choiceIt isn't.
2) Portable - we are having a desktop client. Whilst running on non-Windows desktops may not be a priority now, Macs and Linux are making noteworthy ground (Apple are nearly tipping 10% for the first time in decades!). Java would let us sell to these clients too.No argument. Apple is a niche market for corporate use except with graphics designers, Linux is a niche market anywhere except for servers.
3) Cheaper - Don't need to pay thousands for MS licences before they can even run our software (IIS, SQL Server etc.)Wrong.
IIS comes free with Windows, and you still need a quality database server. As your current customers will be using MS SQL Server that's the most logical choice and its integration with .NET is way better than its integration with Java.
The most viable alternative is Oracle which is even more expensive.
The most viable alternative for IIS when using Oracle is WebLogic which is more expensive than is IIS (which after all is free).
4) Better community - can leverage various OSS projects to accelerate development - in the .net world similar components are likely to be chargeable (and probably expensive!)
Could be. But that could just be because you know the Java community better.
What do you think to my reasons and can anyone think of any other compelling arguments?
Unless you or (more important) your customers already have a Unix environment in place, there is no real reason to not use .NET.

SAP BW support project-Effort estimation template

Hi Shital,
I have a couple of sample estimation plans. Send an email to the mail id on my SDN business card, and I'll get back to you with the docs.

Should we really go for bean data controls for a new project?

Hi,
I am still new data controls and trying to figure out the advantages of using bean data controls for our new project. Our UI is going to have customized UI components and our back end is going to be a tcp/ip server.
Is it a good idea to develop java beans and then create data controls to bind to UI layer? I think it makes sense to use data controls if we want to use existing java beans. Maybe we would be separating the model layer by using data controls, but only thing it would be doing for us would be the simple object calls to my java beans. Would it be better to use data controls or use I choose to make object calls?
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi,
the POJO data control will always give you a benefit and develope productivity, unless what you have to build fits on a single page - in which case you may not mind the burdon of manual UI component binding

OA Framework newbee - Need suggestions/advice for a new project

Dear All,
We are starting up a new "Online Forms" project which aims to move all the offline paper based forms to online forms with online approvals etc.
We are still new to OA, hence looking for tips from the gurus out here.
We have various forms (upto 50 forms) e.g. Request for an Employment Letter, Request for Car Loan, Request for a salary bank transfer , in which the employee fills out certain fields specific to that request and submits the request. The request then goes for approval.
I have gone through the OA dev guide which states that the structure should be :
schema/server - EO
server - VO, AM
webui - Controller
lov/schema/server - LOV related EO
lov/webui - LOV related controller
1 Should we further segregate everything based on the form ?
E.g. For car loan request the EO s will go to : schema/server/carloan
and For salary bank transfer : schema/server/bnktransfer
and The common EO s would go to : schema/server/common
2 If we have some helper classes, where would these go ? under util/schema ?
3 How many application modules should be created for such an implementation. Should we have one AM per form ? (With LOVs having their dedicated AM?)
Will appreciate if someone can guide us on the above questions. It would be helpful to set up the right base !
Thanks,
Gagan

Thanks James and Peddi !
Peddi, thank you for the detailed stucture. Did you mean that we must put in all the pages and their CO s in the same package ? There are going to be so many forms, with each form having atmost 5 pages - is there any harm creating one package per form ? (Ofcourse beneath the standard structure. E.g. CO's would be in webui, then would be further classified based on the form, so webui/carloan, webui/empletter and then there would be webui/common - for all the common stuff)
We are also thinking in terms of one AM per form. The forms are simple -
Page 1 - are you submitting for yourself or another employee
Page 2- The form itself - The forms may display some employee information etc from APPS. (Grade, salary, exisitng loans etc)
Page 3 - Review or confirmation page with a submit button.
Thanks !
