How to precalculate a Query without using a fixed variable in I Broad C?

Hello,
The query should be precalculate with dynamic values of a variable which are investigated during runtime. The broadcaster forces fixed values of a variable.
Does anybody knows, how to avoid the using of a fixed variable in the Information Broadcaster?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards

Hi,
Can you tell me where in the system have you changed this setting. I searched in SPRO but there is nothing about the language. I am also facing similar situation. And if you have worked with PDF files in the broadcaster can you tell me how to change the PDF file names when I run the broadcaster for 6 to 7 variables(I mean VAR1,VAR2,...) The main folder where these PDF files get stored I can define but dont know how to change the PDF file names which fall into this folder.
Thanks,
Kal

Sql:variable and XML query performance

Can someone help with sql:variable() in xml queries? It seems that when I attempt to reference variables with the sql:variable(...) function in an xpath function (exist or nodes) it comes up with a totally different query plan, possibly ignoring
my secondary indices like the ones for VALUE, PATH.
But if I replace sql:variable("@p_ObjectIdentifierForReference") with the literal (ie. "ord/p/ord0616.p") then it uses secondary indices more consistently.
Below you will see an unsuccessful attempt to get the query to "OPTIMIZE FOR" a specific literal value of @p_ObjectIdentifierForReference. But this doesn't give work. It doesn't give me a plan using the secondary index I expect.
Ideally there would be a way to get the sql:variable(...) function to give the same query plan as a literal. Not sure why that isn't the default behavior.

So I guess I'm saying I cannot reproduce your problem on SQL 2008 R2 or SQL 2012. Does anything about this repro stand out as different from your situation?
Looking at your query I would say you might consider the following:
are you really seeing big differences in query duration?
pretty much ignore estimated plan costs for xml queries
consider breaking it up; eg carve off the xml then do the joins? If poor cardinality estimation is part of the problem this might help
Understand what PATH, PROPERTY and VALUE are for, then only create the ones you need
do you really have the range of queries that requires all three?
this is still a great article on xml indexes:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191497.aspx
What's performance like with the primary xml index only?
If performance is that important, consider materialising the columns permanently
I think the buffer_descriptors stuff is a distraction - mostly your cache is warm right?
plan forcing could be a last resort
Selective XML indexes in SQL 2012 onwards are great : ) much less storage required for example but much more specific

Splitting of Cost into Fixed & Variable

Hi,
In our current scenario there is only one cost and there is no split between them. Now my customer wants the cost to be split between fixed & variable. At present we are using KP26 to plan the cost. Here my cost will hit only one cost element (say A) at present. Requirement is to split this cost into fixed and variable and send to two separate cost elements (say B & C) for the same activity type and afterwards do the setllement accordinlgy.
Can any one please guide me on how to achieve this.
Thanks & Regards
Sreekanth

Hi,
1.This can be achieved by creating two Activity types .eg AT1 for fixed, AT2 for the Variable.
2. Do not assign the default Activity type in the Work center (Costing Tab)
3. When you want to create the activity to capture the cost at fixed and variable level, create a single activity and assign two different activity elements e.g AT1 and AT1.
Now for these two activitiy elements assign the resepctive work center and the activity type as per the need.
4. This will capture the cost as requested by you.
Hope it works for you, Please reward points if found useful.
Thanks!

Fixed & Variable cost of the Material at CK11N

Hello Experts,
Before posting this thread, i have gone through several threads about my query. Still I have a doubt.
Material Cost always should be Variable. Cost Component Structure OKTZ also the Inventory Valuation would be Variable Cost as per as Std SAP.
But where as the Raw Material Price control would be "S" & the Cost Component Structure of OKTZ having Inventory Valuation Fixed + Variable Cost then what would be the effect..?
I have run a SCE for a Material & both Material having standard price 140.6 & 1.09. Then how come the Fixed Value shows here as 10.37 & 0.9 & How can it be divided into Total & Fixed Value..?
Regards
Raj

Dear Raj,
Please check the following settings in OKTZ:
Materials are of 3 types:
Finished: Valuation (Fixed + Variable)
Semi Finished:Valuation (Fixed + Variable)
Raw Materials: Variable
Why Inventory Valuation (Fixed + Variable) for Finished Goods:
It contains material price as well as overheads.
Overheads may contain fixed portion also in addition to variable nature.
So Finished goods valuation should be (Fixed + Variable).
For Raw materials valuation should always variable:
You can make the settings in OKTZ as mentioned below:
Please check these settings and change the settings accordingly.
Hope this will helps you.

Pavan Kumar Arvapally

I need to add just one more thing and that is on battery life. Last night I sat with the rMBP on my lap installing software, surfing the web, answering emails for close to 4 and 1/2 hours. At the point I took it back to the charger it still was showing a computed battery time remaining of 3.5 hours.
Today I had two VMs open and took the machine of the charger and sat outside with my dogs for about 30 minutes. During this time I was working in both VMs, editing and compiling code. My battery life estimate showed a good solid 4 hours.
This is roughly 6 times greater than what I had with my 2010 MBP and it too had a SSD. I am not sure why but this retina MBP just seems to not work as hard doing anything that caused my 2010 MBP to struggle.
While the battery life is certainly better than I expected it is clear that load can change that very rapidly. So I think I still need to visit clients with an external battery or charger in hand. But I don't think I will be quite so scared that my laptop will simply run out of power before I can even get it plugged in.

Fixed & variable cost!

Hi,
Could anyone show me how fixed and variable cost are treated in SAP
In case commercial enterprise, (not implementing Product costing sub-module), how to take care fixed and variable cost ?
If it possible, could you show me the documents relevant my concern!
Thanks very much for any help!

Thanks Ashok,
Yes, I am clear what you mean now.
But My concern is mixed-cost (semi-fixed or semi-variable), how the system dealt with this?
For example:
salary of sales man: Cost element 627000
fixed salary: 500
If he sells more than 20 product a month, he will receive 10 for each addition one.
So 500 is fixed cost, and the bonus is variable.
This CE 627000 is called mixed cost element.
In many cases, the accountant can not know which part is fixed, which one is variable as my example.
So at the end of period, she will use some ways to calculate
And, another problem i care: except drawing statement , what more can SAP do about fixed & variable?
Thanks very much Ashok!

Creating a Variable Library XML "Database"

So, I have been playing with the variable data options and have a couple of questions (in an attempt to wrap my head around the problem):
- Is it possible to output an 'XML dataset' from a database program (such as FileMaker) and have it be 'correct' for AI?
- How would you go about creating an AI correct XML dataset from a spreadsheet application such as Excel, or Numbers?
Up to now, I have been doing all my merges in InDesign (csv is much simpler to grok) and then opening the finished PDFs in AI.
Thanks!

- Is it possible to output an 'XML dataset' from a database program (such as FileMaker) and have it be 'correct' for AI?...
- How would you go about creating an AI correct XML dataset from a spreadsheet application such as Excel, or Numbers?
FileMaker (and Excel) can export XML. But using XML to exchange data is not a simple matter of two programs understanding a file format. As I understand it in a nutshell...
The purpose of XML is to facilitate exchange of data (content) independent of presentation (design). XML allows you to "tag" elements with any names you want, rather than being limited to a standard set of tag names. However, this means that the element tags given in one XML document created by program A have to be translated to tags that will be understood by program B. Both programs can parse XML, but they "speak different languages" when it comes to specific element tag names. Something has to map one set of tags to the other.
So working with XML to/from Illustrator necessitates an "in-between" document to "translate" tags to/from Illustrator to/from whatever data program you are using to add raw data. This entails writing DocumentTypeDefinition (DTD) or XML Schema to provide that "in-between translation," because, while Illustrator provides the Variables feature, it does not provide a GUI method for mapping incomming XML tags to its DataSet Variables.
InDesign provides features in its GUI by which to map incomming XML element tags to InDesign's Styles. So you can have some success with XML from FileMaker to InDesign without getting into all the esoterica of XML. But not in Illustrator.
So there does not exist a "one-size-fits-all" in-between document or program which which will work for all your AI documents which use the Variables feature, because Variables can be named anything you want, and each can be of four different types. (Or rather, one such program does exist: Illustrator's own Variables palette itself. That is, you can manually enter new Variable values on the page, and capture the DataSets as you go--which I'm sure is the way the vast majority of AI users employ this feature, if they use it at all.
You could in fact set up an AI document that uses Variables, export the XML Library file, carefully dissect its structure and tags, and then create in FileMaker Pro a solution that would let you add additional "DataSets" and/or Variable values, and export a text file which the AI document would understand as a DataSet Library. But you would have to do this for every AI file you want to use this way, unless you also built a FileMaker Pro script to process the DataSet Library into something that can be manipulated as fields/records.
Your using CSV (comma separated values) in InDesign is quite another thing. Comma- and Tab-delimited text are age-old (and still universally-useful) simple data-exchange text conventions. A tab character in tab-delimited text (or comma in CSV) indicates a jump to the next column (field); a return character indicates a jump to the next row (record)--all in sequential order. They serve just fine as the basis for "mail merge" types of features in everything from Word to FileMaker Pro to InDesign. It would be just as useful in Illustrator, but Illustrator does not provide for a simple, straightforward tab-delimited merge feature.
XML is different from that. It's not like columns and rows. It has to accommodate any arbitrary number of elements arranged and/or nested in any sequential order, just as an HTML document may have any number of <p> paragraph tags between its <body> tags, and any number of bold, italic, etc., tags may be nested between any of those paragraph tags. But in HTML, the naming of the tags is standardized. In XML, it isn't (because that's the whole idea).
Back to Illustrator, though, the shame of it is this: I dare say that the way most users would use the Variables feature could work just as well if it were based on ordinary tab-delimited data. After all, each AI document which uses the Variables feature has a fixed number of bound objects (think of these as fields). Each of those "fields" contains either a text string, a boolean decision (visibility), or a file path (linked object). And they're not nested. So that easily corresponds to ordinary rows and columns. The only Variable type left out is Graph Data (which by definition is rows/columns), but seriously; how many times have you wanted to use the Variables feature for exchanging Graph data anyway?

How do I use the Session State to manage bind variables & download xml data

I have a Report Query with more than 30 queries; many have bind variables in them. I'd like to create sample xml so that I can develop my word templates. When I try to download the XML data Source for Layout, it doesn't ask for the bind variable values.
How can I download the XML data without replacing the bind variable values in each of the queries?
Thank you.

If you are using the Standalone version, then first of all make sure to UNCHECK (BIP10g 10.1.3.4.1)
"AUTO RUN" (it is under General Settings when you select your Report Definition)
Next, you should define the parameters in the corresponding parameter Section.
Its simplest form is of "Text" type so you will have to enter values at runtime.
Then these parameters can be used in your query as bind variables.
When you run the report it will prompt for parameter values. Enter these values
and you would get a sample of your XML data.
This should work and you should not find any issues.
regards
Jorge
