Experience with creation of a large number of key figures

Hi:
I have a need to create a large number of Key Figures (at least about 50 of them) for DP use. Do you have any experience with automating this task if so, can you share your experience? Thanks.
Satish

Hi,
So far we have not come across a need to automate KF creation. And 50 KF is not a huge number, it would take may be a couple of hours to create them. Also, since it is a one time activity, developing an automation script for the same does not sound useful. You might want to consider creating them manually so that you can ensure all settings are proper.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards

Max number of key figures

In BI 2004s 7.0, how many key figures or the maximum number of key figures can a query have in the Column area that would not impede the performance of running the query? This would include key figures that use User Exit code for variables, RKFs, and CKFs.

I can't imagine a requirement that would have 175 key figures in a query. What would be the requirement?
It would be a big burden to maintain, support it, and change control. One of the tips to improving query performance is to break up the query with this number of key figures into smaller queries and make use of RRI. Workbooks are there for use with multiple worksheets or 1 worksheet with multiple grids. How would you improve query performance with this kind of query.
The key figures are created to be able to derive other key figures based on the RKFs that make use of the exit code that determines the dates from what the user enters.
Are you saying that a Business Analyst would use 175 key figures to do the analysis at a time? I have seen the most is 12 - 13 key figures that are not hidden and the 10 others are hidden because they are use for derivation - a total of 23 key figures in a query.

Number of key Figures used in Query

Hi,
I would like to know the number of queries in a Query,
Is there any way to find out this?
We have nearly 100 queries, and we were asked to find out the top 5 queries in terms of number of key figures.
Thx.

Hi Thejo,
There is no direct way to do this using another BW query simply because the data is not stored in either Masterdata Info Objects/CUBE ODS. They are stored in BW system tables which are not directly accesible by any queries to build using the Query Builder.
Try to locate the system table that holds these Info (Keyfigures + Query Name) and do ABAP Query instead.

Number of key figures per query

Hi guys
I have a cube with over 150 key figures.
In query designer I can see only the first 150.
Does anyone know where to change this limitation?

How to combine large number of key-value pair tables into a single table?

I have 250+ key-value pair tables with the following characteristics
1) keys are unique within a table but may or may not be unique across tables
2) each table has about 2 million rows
What is the best way to create a single table with all the unique key-values from all these tables? The following two queries work till about 150+ tables
with
t1 as ( select 1 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
          select 2 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
          select 3 as key, 'a2' as val from dual )
, t2 as ( select 2 as key, 'b1' as val from dual union all
          select 3 as key, 'b2' as val from dual union all
          select 4 as key, 'b3' as val from dual )
, t3 as ( select 1 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
          select 3 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
          select 5 as key, 'c2' as val from dual )
select coalesce(t1.key, t2.key, t3.key) as key
,      max(t1.val) as val1
,      max(t2.val) as val2
,      max(t3.val) as val3
from t1
full join t2 on ( t1.key = t2.key )
full join t3 on ( t2.key = t3.key )
group by coalesce(t1.key, t2.key, t3.key)
with
master as ( select rownum as key from dual connect by level <= 5 )
, t1 as ( select 1 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
          select 2 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
          select 3 as key, 'a2' as val from dual )
, t2 as ( select 2 as key, 'b1' as val from dual union all
          select 3 as key, 'b2' as val from dual union all
          select 4 as key, 'b3' as val from dual )
, t3 as ( select 1 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
          select 3 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
          select 5 as key, 'c2' as val from dual )
select m.key as key
,      t1.val as val1
,      t2.val as val2
,      t3.val as val3
from master m
left join t1 on ( t1.key = m.key )
left join t2 on ( t2.key = m.key )
left join t3 on ( t3.key = m.key )
/

A couple of questions, then a possible solution.
Why on earth do you have 250+ key-value pair tables?
Why on earth do you want to consolodate them into one table with one row per key?
You could do a pivot of all of the tables, without joining. something like:
with
t1 as ( select 1 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
          select 2 as key, 'a1' as val from dual union all
          select 3 as key, 'a2' as val from dual )
, t2 as ( select 2 as key, 'b1' as val from dual union all
          select 3 as key, 'b2' as val from dual union all
          select 4 as key, 'b3' as val from dual )
, t3 as ( select 1 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
          select 3 as key, 'c1' as val from dual union all
          select 5 as key, 'c2' as val from dual )
select key, max(t1val), max(t2val), max(t3val)
FROM (select key, val t1val, null t2val, null t3val
      from t1
      union all
      select key, null, val, null
      from t2
      union all
      select key, null, null, val
      from t3)
group by keyIf you can do this in a single query, unioning all 250+ tables, then you do not need to worry about chaining or migration. It might be necessary to do it in a couple of passes, depending on the resources available on your server. If so, I would be inclined to create the table first, with a larger than normal percent free, then do the first set as a straight insert, and the remaining pass or passes as a merge.
Another alternative might be to use the approach above, but limit the range of keys in each pass. So pass one would have a predicate like where key between 1 and 10 in each branch of the union, pass 2 would have key between 11 and 20 etc. That way everything would be straight inserts.
Having said all that, I go back to my second question above, why on earth do you want/need to do this? What is the business requirement you are trying to solve. There might be a much better way to meet the requirement.

Yes, this can be achieved using a custom named column report template.

Problem with Overwrite for Key Figures in ODS

A bit of a long explanation, but the problem is not so complicated...
We have an ODS containing contract line items. Each line item has a key figure "Total Contract Target" that is marked with update type "overwrite". We have modified the extractor that delivers data for this ODS so that the key figure is set to a value from the contract header. Since we don't want the key figure to be duplicated if there are multiple line items on the contract, the user exit for the extractor modifies only the first line item delivered.
For example, overall contract target value = 100. Contract has 3 line items. Contract target value for line item 1 is 100. Target value for line item 2 and 3 is 0.
This all works fine for initial loads, but there is a problem with the business content extractor for deltas. Whenever a single change is made, it delivers three sets of records. Continuing the example, we would receive 9 records for the contract (3 sets of 3 line items). Each of the three sets contains the same records. Only the first set has the correct contract target value. Since the ODS key figure is set to overwrite, our method of setting the total contract value in the first record doesn't work, because the extractor delivers duplicates so the duplicates overwrite the total with a 0.
Would setting the key figure for total contract value to update type "additive" solve this? (I'm concerned that additions would be made if there were only a change to characteristics and not the key figure). Thanks for your assistance.

Since we ought to post solutions to problems we discover for people who search this forum...
Solved this by modifying the customer exit for the extractor to set the key figure for the first contract line item encountered AND for all subsequent records with the same contract number / contract line item. Since the key figure in the ODS is set to overwrite, this makes sure that the last record written doesn't overwrite the key figure with 0.

Combine two reports in query designer using key figure with sap exit

Hi experts,
i want to combine two reports in query designer using key figure with sap exit
in the report 1 key figure calculation based on the open on key date(0P_DATE_OPEN)
to calculate due and not due in two columns
in report 2 key figure calculate in the time zones using given in variable Grid Width (0DPM_BV0) like due in 1 to 30 days, 31 to 60 days...the due amount based on the open on key date(0P_DATE_OPEN)
to calculate in 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, 121-150 and >150 days in 6 columns
now i have requirement like this
not due, 1-30, 31-60, >60, due,1-30, 31-60, >60 in 8 columns
or
not due, due, 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, 121-150 and >150 in 8 col
thank you

Hi Dirk,
you perhaps know my requirement,
for the management to make used in one report,
we have in reporting finacials Ehp3.
Vendor Due Date Analysis - which show due, not due
Vendor Overdue Analysis - show only due and analysis in time grid frame
i want to combine in one report that show NOT DUE, DUE, DUE time frames in grid.

BEx Broadcaster Send button - No Broadcast Wizard with Key Figures in Rows

Working in BI 7.0 SP 16, we are having an issue with BEx Broadcaster. For a typical horizontal query (key figures in columns), the send button in BEx on the Portal works properly and returns the Broadcasting Wizard. However, when using a query in a vertical format (key figures in rows), the window opended by the send button displays the "spinning wheel" and never procceds on to the Broadcasting Wizard.
I have checked for SAP notes related to BEx Broadcaster and was not able to find anything relevant.
The same query was tested with the key figures in columns and in rows. The Broadcast Wizard comes up when the key figures are in columns, but not in rows. Since it was tested both ways with the same query, I am assuming that the issue is related to the orientation (horizontal vs. vertical).
Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there a known limitation, or a patch available? Does anyone have a BI system with a query you could flip the key figures from columns to rows and give it a try?
thanks,
-Shawn

Shawn,
I'm having my own issues with BEx Broadcaster in the Portal, but from BEx Query Designer - Query - Publish - BEx Broadcaster, the BEx Broadcaster Wizard is available in both cases (Key figures in columns and key figures in rows).

L3 topology diagram with a large number of networks

I am working on redesigning a network that is using a single class B network for there LAN workstations and servers. I proposed for them to separate the two and put all of their servers into one class C network and the workstation in another class C. They stated that they wanted 14 separate networks for the workstations, different for section of the building, and 28 for the servers. The reason for the 28 is due to the fact they didn't keep track of how they used their address space and they do not want to renumber servers due to firewall rules. I have 50 networks hanging off of the collapsed core switch "WS-C6513-E" and finding room for all of these network is quite difficult. Does anyone have any experience with creating network topology diagrams with a large amount of networks hanging off of one device? I have attached a doc of what I have done.

Brandon
Sorry, you did say that in the last bit of your first post.
Last time i was doing topology diagrams i believe Visio had a pop up function where you could click over it but obviously if you are printing them out that does no good.
Unless you can summarise them to one entry with a note of how many subnets are being used within the summary i can't think of a way to do it. You could match the vlan number to the subnet (which you have partly done) and then just list the vlan numbers with the network prefix and make a note the subnet is derived from the vlan number.

Large number of federated contacts causes problems with client

Hi,
We have added a large number of federated contacts to our Lync clients (using Vytru Contact Manager) when we do this the behavior of the client is bad, presence information is not updated for internal or external contacts, messaging is sporadic sometime
message go through sometimes they don't.
Is there any limit / recommendation for the number of Federated contacts? we have added around 230 contacts.

Solved problem of synching iPad with desktop containing large photo library (20,000 photos): In summary, solution was to rename, copy and live iPHoto Library to XHD and reduce size of library on home (desktop) drive.
In the home directory, rename "iPhoto Library" to "iPhoto Global" (or any other name you want), and copy into an external hard drive via simple drag and drop method.
Then, go back to the newly renamed iPhoto Global and rename it again, to iPhoto 2010. Now, open iPhoto by holding down the Alt/Option key and opening iPhoto. This provides option to choose library iPhoto 2010. Open the library, and eliminate every photo before 2010. This got us down to a few thousand photos and a much smaller library. Synch this smaller library with the iPad.
Finally, I suggest downloading a program "iPhoto Library Manager" and using this to organize and access the two libraries you now have (which could be 2, 10 or however many different libraries you want to use.) The iPhoto program doesn't want you to naturally have more than one library, but a download called iPhoto Library Manager allows user to segregate libraries for different purposes (eg. personal, work, 2008, 2009, etc.). Google iPhoto Library Manager, download, and look for links to video tutorials which were very helpful.
I did not experience any problems w/ iPhoto sequencing so can't address that concern.
Good luck!

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Creation of Large Number of Workbooks within short span

Hi,
In my Production server, User has created many Workbooks for their convenience.
Now, I am working on upgrading project. I want to create same amounts of workbook to my Development server. I know how to create but as quantity in thousands and connected with respective roles.
I would like to know if, there is any process to create workbooks other than usual manual process.
(I can check the list and not availability of Workbooks from TABLE AGR_HIER and after creating I can check the existence in same table.)
If any, let me know... shorted method to create lots of workbook in less time.
Thanks in Advance.

Best way to delete large number of records but not interfere with tlog backups on a schedule

Ive inherited a system with multiple databases and there are db and tlog backups that run on schedules. There is a list of tables that need a lot of records purged from them. What would be a good approach to use for deleting the old records?
Ive been digging through old posts, reading best practices etc, but still not sure the best way to attack it.
Approach #1
A one-time delete that did everything. Delete all the old records, in batches of say 50,000 at a time.
After each run through all the tables for that DB, execute a tlog backup.
Approach #2
Create a job that does a similar process as above, except dont loop. Only do the batch once. Have the job scheduled to start say on the half hour, assuming the tlog backups run every hour.
Note:
Some of these (well, most) are going to have relations on them.

Hi shiftbit,
According to your description, in my opinion, the type of this question is changed to discussion. It will be better and
more experts will focus on this issue and assist you. When delete large number of records from tables, you can use bulk deletions that it would not make the transaction log growing and runing out of disk space. You can
take the table offline for maintenance, a complete reorganization is always best because it does the delete and places the table back into a pristine state.
