Follow-up 3: Hmm! An issue ... u0093How to handle Forecasting when modeling

Any comment on my Summary:
My understanding is that, in dealing with forecasting during modeling
a) One approach will be to create a new Cube, infobjects for Forecast data in addition to the cube for the actual data. That makes it 2 Cubes.
Advantage:
if you have huge amount of data having several cubes may serve as a kind of physical partitioning - improved performance.
Disadvantage
To compare the data in the actual and forecast, the two Cubes will have to be united with a Multiprovider; more DB space because of redundant storage of characteristics in the similar cubes.
b ) a Second solution will be to keep to a single Cube, i.e combine the actual and forecast, and differentiate the actual and forecast with a new characteristic (like 0Version) and set different values for actual, plan, forecasted data.
(By the way, will we have to create a new dimension for this additional characteristic)?

Also on this message “...in other words, if you have a lot of data, go for a multiprovider, otherwise you can manage only one provider with a char that aims to separate different views...”
Does “go for a multiprovider” mean create 2 Cubes and use multiprovider to unite them?

Hi,
Its better to use two separate cubes, and ur assumption is right
if you have huge amount of data having several cubes may serve as a kind of physical partitioning - improved performance.
And more over if u need both forecast data and actual data then combine with the multiprovider for a query.

    Not very sure of this message “So Use the logical partition by Multi provider concept” -- By "multi provider", is it referring to b) (above) or on a different subject and referring to partitioning the single cube in a)

    Hi,
    I am new to BPS. Trying to implement forecasting. Can u let me know how i should implement the forecast planning function when using a single cube scenario.
    can u give me a small example to make it clearer or point me to an example link where they actually tell you how to implement the function.
    I am having a lot of difficulty expressing the exact issue I am having but still i'll try to explain. How can i in the forecasting function use several data columns in the layout as reference data columns and copy the result of the forecast to new data columns in the same layout. I have defined each data column as a key figure in the cube.
    I am really having a lot of problem. If u have some contact number please let me know so that i can call you from my office now.
    Regards,
    Really Desparate for Help.
    Regards,

    Also, the message “And when comparing to query execution time taken by the single cube, the above disadvantage is countless. “ Can you clarify this?

  • Issue in consumption of forecast for configurable material

    Hi,
    we have a issue in consumption of forecast by sales order for a configurable material.
    Please find the below details for the settings maintained and the steps followed.
    Please let me know how we can overcome this issue.
    settings in R/3
    1. Class and characterisitcs are created in R/3
    2. standard material was created and class assigned
    3. planning strategy used is 56
    4. material, class, characteristics,ATP check, ATP customizing , sales order were integrated to APO
    Settings in APO
    1. CBF table, CBF profile, Consumption group were created in APO
    2. Consumption group is attached to the product master
    following steps were followed.
    1. Forecast was created in DP for a certain characterstics ansd relaesed to SNP/PPDS
    2. forcast is visible in product view
    3. sales order was created in R/3
    4. slaes order is visible in APO but it is not consuming the foreacast for the same set of characteristics.
    Please let me know how we can overcome this..are we missing any customization ...?
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi Srinivas,
    thanks for your response.
    The forecast consumption problem was solved after correcting the entries in requirement strategy.
    have one more query.
    when the sales order for a configurable material is transferred from R/3 to APO, we should be able to see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" in APO product view.(when we click on the green triangle representing the configuration).
    However, we could see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" for some of the characterisitcs and not for other characteristics.
    we tried comparing the characteristics but could not figure out the reason.
    any pointers / clues to come over this issue would be helpful.
    thanks
    Ram

  • My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

    My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet

    Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet. The 2wire will keep resetting. When I connect my macbook pro via ethernet to the 2wire all is ok, but as soon as i connect the power pc. . . .reset. I have emailed 2wire support. They recommended using a different patch cable. Tried that.. .. anyone else having this issue???? Any help would be appreciated. . .

    Search the discussions for issues with 2wire dsl routers. This has come up before in a discussion I've been involved with, but probably not to do with the MDD. I do remember it being a design issue with the router, something that was done to it before dispatch.
    Let us know if you can't find it and we'll have a look.
    If you afford it, bin the 2wire and go buy something decent like a Netgear.

  • I bought a brand new mac and follow through setting up process with my apple id but when I open App Store I don't see lion into the purchases list. why?

    I bought a brand new mac and follow through setting up process with my apple id but when I open App Store I don't see lion into the purchases list. why?

    Updates come through Software Update not the App Store. If you have to reinstall Lion that is done via Internet Recovery.
    OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
    OS X Lion- Run Software Update to use Lion Internet Recovery
    Lion maintenance and recovery operate via the Recovery HD. It's possible to create a separate recovery disk on a flash drive using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
    To boot into the Recovery HD:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

  • My unusual (?) printer issue -- Prints only partial lines when printing in black (part 2)

    I have been using my HP Officejet J4680 with my Win7 PC for several years and relatively problem-free -- until about six months ago.  
    My printing issue might be rather odd.  So odd, in fact, I’m not sure how to succinctly describe it.  I’m not too techie, but I will try….
    This printer will print some lines correctly, other lines print only partially, and some lines don’t print at all.
    This oddity happens ONLY when I print in black.  When changing the color of the text to any other color other than black the page does print correctly.
    Further, this issue seems to occur ONLY when printing certain things/files/formats.  For example, material from most websites will print correctly.  As will most .PDF files.  Printing files such as .txt, .doc, .wps, etc., seem to be the most problematic.
    Fixes I have tried include:
    Uninstalled and reinstalled printer
    Run HP’s diagnostic tools (including checking for any driver updates)
    Installed several new black ink cartridges
    Cleaned and re-aligned printer head
    Lastly, the “copy” feature continues to produce good results.  These problematic symptoms seem to occur only while using the “print” function.
    Short of relegating this printer to the trash, I’ve tried everything I can think of.  Help/ideas/suggestions appreciated.

    HI Here4Help2,
    Here is a document to troubleshoot poor quality black text for your printer. This is a pretty interesting problem you have here. Let us know if this helps or if the problem remains.
    If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
    If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.
    I'm a printer tech with HP.

    I'm experiencing a log in issue on my MBA since installing ML this morning. However, I am able to sign into iCloud via my iPhone, iPad and on the web without issue. This only occurs when I attempt to go into iCloud setting in system pref's... I have attempted to change my password and also reloaded iCloud. Neither of these actions resolved the issue. When I open iCloud preferences in system preferences on my Mac, it prompts me to enter my appleID and password. Once entered, it just hangs...
    What exactly did you do (verified your apple ID/iCloud but in a very difficult way)?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the Finder use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears when you do this.
    Navigate to Containers/com.apple.soagent/Data/Library/Preferences
    You will notice that many of the items are Aliases (to the Originals in ~/Library/Preferences).
    But there are exceptions.
    Delete (Drag to Trash)  the com.apple.soagent.plist and com.apple.messageshelper.AccountInfoController.plist
    Restart the Mac (I have not worked out is SOAgent launches when the Mac does).
    Restart Messages.
    If this does not work navigate to ~/Library/Preferences
    In here find and Delete com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
    This will need a Restart of the app.
    You will be asked Again for your Apple ID

    Hi 99jon,
    Many thanks for that. Had been going through this list yesterday and now again today:
    Ref  Solution 1: Lightroom is at its latest update
    Ref  Solution 2: It's interesting how I cannot find the Preferences file anywhere on my mac. (new mac pro, OS 10/9.2) . . .
    Ref  Solution 3: Lightroom doesn't allow me to do anything after the error message appears
    Ref  Solution 4: don't have any Nik Software plug-ins
    Ref  Solution 5: checked permissions and changed all to "Read & Write" - makes no difference
    Ref  Solution 6: I don't have a different user account on my mac.
    Not sure what else to do.

  • I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed.

    I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed. Please help!!! I hope apple has something to do about this. Thanks.

    I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.
