Evaluate Current Point of View

Hi,
Is there anyway to evaluate the Current Point of View in a Formula? For example, I am picking April 2009 as the POV and, in a formula column, I want to see the value as 1 if the Current Point of View equals 2009.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Shelly

Hi Shelly,
In column or row formula we can use only numeric functions and conditiones ,so it is not possible to consider the POV values in formula.You may need to think of other way ,without using formula to implement your requirement.
Thanks,

YTD as of Current Point of View

I am at a new company and on books and reports I was able to easily set up a POV as YTD as of Current Point of View. In this case, the user can pick the month dynamically and they would get their YTD numbers. My question is, how can I select/create this member? In my last company, it was listed right in member selection, so I'm not sure if I need to create the member myself or not. I'm thinking not, but I've been surprised before. Any tips for this?

looks like i'd need to set up the Dynamic Time Series in Planning to start this process.

Financial Reporting: Base members of Current Point of View for Entity

How do you typically handle reports in which you'd like to show all base members of the current point of view, but also allow the user to select a base entity?
Example A: Base members of Current Point of View for Entity
User selects a base entity: report errors
User selects a parent: report functions as expected and shows base entities
Example B: Base members of Current Point of View for Entity (Inclusive)
User selects a base entity: report functions as expected and shows the base entity
User selects a parent: report shows base entities (as expected), but also shows the parent entity (which we do not want to see)
I think the last case listed is what we want, but is there any way to just show the base entities? Like an advanced suppression option or something I'm missing.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, we don't have anything that uniquely identifies our base entities (close, but not all of them). However, the report does work as desired by using the following for entity, set in the advanced properties:
Base members of Current Point of View for Entity (Inclusive) AND Bottom of hierarchy Entity
This will allow the user to select either A) parent or B) base entity from the hierarchy and the report will show either A) base entities of the parent (not the parent) or B) the base entity.
Not sure why this works and all the other things attempted did not, but as long as it works. Also tried conditional formatting on Level, but that always threw a level 0 (for both base and parent).

WDA Component Usage - used component's point of view

Hi folks!
Component Usage is a real nice feature of WDA. The using component knows exactly, when which other components are used.
But what about the used component's point of view:
How can a used component find out if it is currently running natively or as a used component and who is the using component?
Alternatively: How can the using component hand over initialization information (parameter) to the used component the used component has access to in component controller method DOINIT?
Background: In my scenario the used component has to "turn right" when it is used by component A and it has to "turn left" when it is used by component B and it has to go straight forward when it is running in "native" mode..
Thanx in advance for any hint!
Kind Regards,
Volker

hI Volker
    You can implement the component usage by implementing interface method or interface node.
1. Interface method :-
   Here the using component can access methods of used component.
So in your used component you have three method for 1. TURN RIGHT 2. TURN LEFT 3. STRAIGHT
so from comp A you call TURN RIGHT
From component B you can call TURN LEFT.
Make Straight default which can run in "native" mode..
That is if you want to implement from using component's view.
2.You can take a node in your used component as interface node which must be populated by values from other component.
From your using component you can pass the required value .
Now in your used componentcontroller DOINIT method call that interface node and in the make some condition according to the value it get from using component.
But I don't think in this it can run in "native" mode.
However i dont have that much idea about whether the in used component we can keep any log like where it has been used and how.
Thanks & Regards,

Client Merge! precautions to be taken from BW point of view

Hi,
We are in a process of merging two clients in R/3 which are typical source systems for BW!
What are the steps that we should take care of while the client merge is on from R/3 side.
these two clients are ofcourse very important for BW system as almost all for everydata load the extraction logic in FM to the ABAP routine in selection of infopacakge is different!
in a scenario such as this, what are the things that should i make a note from BW point of view?
Raj

Hi,
1.Internal table with header line will not support in ECC 6.0 for that u need to create internal table and work area using TYPES.
2.Mostly u need to do some PATCH WORK for the STANDARD programmes.
Patch work in the sense for SPAU objects in Mysap is there any code written by client(INSERT {....END INSERT....}) this type of code u need to add in ECC 6.0 code....
3.Mostly u have to resolve EPC(Extended program check) errors.
In that u will find so many type of errors...Field attribute errors,Perform interface errors,Obsolete stetement errors,....etc.
4.First thing u need to what r the SCOPE and OUT OF SCOPE in your upgradation.
5.If u find any Fmodules obsolete...U just press F1 on that Fmodule it will show which function module can useful instead of that obsolete one...
6.If they want UNI CODE compatiable .....
EX Report...
Go to the attributes of the report...
There u can c a check box to check UNI CODE Errors...
U have to resolve these errors also...
After doing all these things u have to show 0 errors on CODE INSPECTOR fro each n every object...
Thats t as per my knowledge...

In BI 7,in loading point of view what is the difference

Hello All
In BI 7,in loading point of view
Upto the first level(upto PSA) we use infopackage and from that layer onwards we use DTP's.
My question is why do we want to use DTPs there? Why cant we use infopackage only?
What is the advantage by using this DTPs for loading the data within BI
Please let me know in this regard
Many Thanks
Swami

Hi Swami,
Although not recommended you can still use infopackages if you want in BI 7.x. The introduction of the DTP was to overcome some disadvantages of using infopackages up to and including release 3.x to load the data targets (especially with datamarts where one infopackage loads several data targets,
if something goes wrong with the load to one of these data targets then it can be very difficult to correct).
This section contains some arguments in brief why the DTP was introduced with BI 7.0 :
Transfer from one source to one target
BW 3.X
One InfoPackage / Request supplies data for several data targets
Fixed sequence of steps (DataSource / transfer rules / update rules / data target)
Fixed source type: Combination DataSource/source system
Fixed target type: Cube or ODS object or master data
No init selection for extraction from infoprovider
One request can produce several error requests, depending on the data targets
No error handling into ODS Objects
Delta management
BI 3.X: The Receiver for DataSources is merely a logical system, which makes it impossible to have a separate delta management for several data targets within
one system
BI 7.0
Data Transfer Process transports data from one data source to one data target; new source and target types can easily be defined
Arbitrary number of steps (filter objects/transformations) between two persistent objects
Init selection available
Request produces error records stored in generic error stack
Error handling into ODS Objects possible
Resume from persistent buffer
Delta management
BI 7.0: The delta management is maintained by the data transfer process which connects arbitrary sources and targets
I hope the above helps.

Document Management System for sap mm point of view steps

Hi All.
Document management system for sap mm point of view steps required.
Thanks in advance for all sap mm forum members.
Regards.
Parameshwar

Hi,
Customizing settings can be collected by processes into Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets). BC Sets make Customizing more transparent by documenting and analyzing the Customizing settings. They can also be used for a group rollout, where the customizing settings are bundled by the group headquarters and passed on in a structured way to its subsidiaries.
BC Sets are provided by SAP for selected industry sectors, and customers can also create their own.
When a BC Set is created, values and combinations of values are copied from the original Customizing tables into the BC Set and can be copied into in the tables, views and view clusters in the customer system. The BC Sets are always transported into the customer system in which Customizing is performed.
Advantages of using BC Sets:
1.     Efficient group rollout.
2.     Industry sector systems are easier to create and maintain.
3.     Customizing can be performed at a business level.
4.     Change Management is quicker and safer.
5.     Upgrade is simpler.
To create BC sets follow the below step:
Choose Tools ® Customizing ® Business Configuration Sets® Maintenance in the SAP
menu, or enter the transaction code SCPR3 in the command field.
Choose Bus.Conf.Set ® Create.

Data loading - Member containing comma taken in point-of-view

Hi,
I tried loading date into planning. My point-of-View contains a member which has comma in it.
When loading it is considering that member as two different members.
Has anyone tried loading data into planning with members having comma.
Eg. Item No.,Start Date,Point-of-View,Data load Cube Name
30103,11-02-2011,"Actual,Version1,Dazzing Infotech, Inc,230"Capex
I have 6 dimensions say.
Dazzing Infotech, Inc is a member in dimension. It has comma which is seperating it as two members.
Error when loading is "Dazzing Infotech" doesn't exist or you do not have access to it.
Has anyone worked on this issue previously.
Thanks

I agree that it would be cleaner to use the commas in an alias rather than a member name.
Cheers
