Frost & Sullivan: The Business Case for Cloud Communications

Hello, I have a

I looked through previous topics on this issue, and I've ran into a roadblock with troubleshooting.The Offline Address Book has been broken for several months, ever since we had to recover our Exchange after a massive failure. When you try to download the OAB, it errors out with Task reported error (0x80190197): the operation failed. We've recently come back around to trying to get it resolved, and here's where I am:

What's the business case for using adobe forms for handling print forms

Hi
We are just starting our SAP project and are looking at the possibility to use Adobe forms for generating and printing our forms, like purchase orders, invoices etc.
My Question is:
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - <i> We have been looking on the SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high</i>
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
Regards
Morten Nielsen

Hi Morten,
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
As far I know SAP is going to stop support for SAPScript in coming years (I don't know exact dates). It is pretty much advisable to use Adobe Print Forms.
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the
SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
We can use Adobe Print Forms where ever we can able to use SApscripts/PDF print Forms.
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
It is better to settle with Adobe forms rather than using SAPscript/Smart forms. One of the main reason for this is maintainance is much easier than SAPscript/Smart forms.
But remember that Java Stack need to be installed in order to use Adobe Forms.
Please visit the below SDN area on Adobe forms for more details.

Business Case for OCM

I am interested to see if anyone has any content they are able to share around the business case for OCM presented in a manner that has managers understand what the OCM game is about and why it is important to fund it and support it.

Our firm has incorporated OCM in our SAP/BPC delivery methodology and it has met with a very warm acceptance by our clients. Our OCM material has been maturing for over a decade, but is customized for each client, and clearly is a competitive advantage for us. So we are more than a bit hesitant to publish it to an open forum. I've been involved with OCM related work since 1991 and agree with many of the commentaries above regarding the 'critical' deal-breaking nature of well managed OC. I have a goofy mantra I use to describe this reality... "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't necessarily make him do the backstroke."
I have been saying for a long time that IT systems work is the technological equivalent of human organ transplant surgery. I use this analogy with our clients and it seems to help everyone get it intellectually. Just think of the key issue surrounding organ transplants and how that can be applied to our work. Compatibility of tissue, rejection, anti-rejection medication, severing of vital connections and reconnecting them (nerves, muscles, vessels, etc.). All the preparation that goes into it it (technically and emotionally).
Isnt' it interesting that when we introduce a new system that "replaces" an old one, the company, just like the human body, sends out corporate white blood cells to kill the foreign object even though its very life depends upon the survival of that object? So what do we do? We administer anti-rejection medication IN ADVANCE of the operation and after to ensure that NATURAL reaction does not happen. We have to take equivalent measures when we introduce new systems. The OCM issue then is to define what equals anti-rejection medication in a corporate envivronment. Our OCM discipline defines that and engages the organization in creating it and administering it to itself so it can optimize its success.
As for getting it in terms of the bottom line, y'all are right--that is a little tough for most of us to document, but you'd have to have been hiding under a rock and not read any relevant magazine, blog, or whitepaper for the past 15+ year to be so ignorant of this histoical fact. The IT landscape is littered with the dead or battered bodies of leaders and followers who have launched their ships unprepared to deal with this monster.
Our OCM kick-off Workshop seems to create in the minds of our clients a clear and undeniable gap between what they'd get if they don't take care of these matters.
Sorry to go so long on this, but it's one of my favorite topics as you can tell. Hope this is useful in some small way.

Master Data Governance - The Business Case

Hi, I'm trying to help out with getting a business case for improved Master Data Governance over the line ; It's fairly easy to work out the ITs costs of fixing Master Data related tickets ; it's not so easy to determine the overall opportunity cost to the business of poor MD Governance ; should I take a sampling approach ? How would you go about it ? Thanks in advance John.

Hello,
Not sure what sampling approach is, but it certainly help build a business case if you can provide sample data and case studies.

Advice on how to build a business case for partitioning

Hi Everyone,
I'm the architect of a business intelligence/data warehouse team. We've grown to the point where I believe we need database partitioning. I believe we are at about 1.5 TB of data. Our largest tables are in the 100 million row counts with relatively wide record lengths (~100 columns). Our just sort of large tables are in the 10 million to 50 million range, however, they have very long row lengths (~300 columns). Based on our future source system plans, our data will become even more granular and there is still a need to maintain our historical data.
Those aren't the only reasons, but are some of the larger driving issues that are making most members of our team think it's time we purchased database partitioning. Our team is pretty unanimous for partitioning, many of our source system partners also consider it a "no-brainer", however, we're getting push back from our CIO saying that 1.5 TB and 100 million records isn't that much data as compared to other "big data" companies and that it doesn't require partitioning.
Does anyone have a advice on how to build an business case for purchasing partitioning? Is there a good way to demonstrate cost-vs-benefit value?
Thanks for your feedback.
-=Joe

I'm going to be contrarian and start from the end of your post.

>
Yes - forget about cost-vs-benefit. That's the CIOs job not yours. You're an architect. Stick to architecture. Design and implement the architecture needed to meet the business requirements of your projects. If you are given requirements that can't be met with your current infrastructure then that is when you should propose alternative infrastructure.

NONSENSE! That's what ALL of the above statements represent - UTTER AND ABSOLUTE NONSENSE.
Who cares what you believe? Beliefs don't carry weight, facts do. You do list some facts: 1.5 TB of data, 100 million row counts, wide record lengths, large sorts, long rows, data will get more granular, need to maintain historical data.
Ho Hum! So what? How do ANY of those facts indicate any sort of issue or problem, existing or potential, at all? They don't. You haven't provided information that suggests that ANY of those facts illustrate what Justin referred to as 'pain points'.
Unless those facts prevent you from doing your job of providing an architecture that meets the business requirements you don't have a leg to stand on.
My first reaction to your request would be similar to your cio's. Implicit in your cio's response are some questions you need to ask and answer
1. What is it that you do now that you can't do with the current architecture?
2. What is it that you need to do for an upcoming requirement that you can't do with the current architecture?
3. What alternatives are available to modify the current architecture to do what can't be done in items #1 and #2 above?
That #3 is where my skepticism lies. You seem to have already concluded that partitioning is the answer. Why? What problems do you think it will solve? Why not RAC? Why not a separate data warehouse system? Why not split that historical data off into an OLAP system? Maybe that can reduce the size of the OLTP system to where you won't have whatever problems you are having.
Partitioning is just about addressing some performance issues. A lot of times partitioning is used more for management purposes such as loading/offloading data without impacting those huge tables you are talking about.
If my hot queries use a primary key value to retrieve data it isn't going to matter much if the tables are partitioned or not.
That is what sets the context for what Justin is telling you. You and your team need to document the constraints (and SLAs) your system currently has, how close you are to hitting those constraints, your options for avoiding/evading those constraints using the current infrastructure and the options for avoiding/evading those constraints using a modified architecture.
It is up to the CIO to do the cost-benefit analysis of working within the limits imposed by the current infrastructure versus modifiying the architecture.

Reports available in the Business Package for MSS and ESS

Hi,
I have searched sdn.sap.com throughout looking for a comprehensive list of reports available in the business packages for both MSS and ESS, i got a little bit of joy and found some of the MSS reports but not all on sdn.sap.com, can anyone please advise where i would find such information on both these packages, just to re-iterate, i am looking for a list of reports these business packages offer? any help much appreciated.
Thanks
John
P.s any documents can be sent to [email protected]

@John
(1) ESS- We built our own custom PORTAL role/workset in which one of the worksets we created is called "Tools and Forms". Under that workset, we placed various pages/iViews that either are simple URL iViews that link to external documents and such (like vacation request forms since they do not do online leave requests yet) as well as a couple ot t-code iViews that run reports in ECC for the employee. Nothing very mind blowing there. Just some content creation on the portal side.....oh, and some config on the backend to create a Homepage Framework Area Page and all for it (I liked that part!)
(2) Wow....talk about perfect timing...I just had to document the way MSS sees the MDT reports in it's "reporting" area yesterday! haha Here goes the quick explaination....in configuration for MDT, you have various "scenarios". These kinda determine which "groups" of reports will show in MDT. For MSS for the Reporting webdynpro/service, the scenario is RPT0 (in ECC 5.0, at least). Soooo if you look at the function CODES assigned to RPT0, you will see several for Training and one for Accounting (Cost Centers)...you can reference the function CODES listed back to the "pool"/library of function codes a bit up/previous in the same config area for MDT(I think it is called "Define Function Codes"). However, there is one more piece you will see listed under RPT0....it is a DIRECT call to function MODULE "HR_HIS_READ" (this was a bugger to find because I could not find the "Maternity" report listed in the function codes and had to figure out where the heck it was coming from! haha). Anyways....what the function MODULE actually does is call the HR Information System (HIS) passing it the RPT0/MSS scenario. This returns the particular reports for Employee Data and Time&Attendance. You can see this if you run the HR_HIS_READ function directly and enter RPT0 for the second input value (first and third are not needed or you can just enter "*". Sooooo that is how the "magic" happens. Hope that explained it. From there, you can simply config you own scenario/reports to add into MSS if you like.
Hope this helped!

I question for the people's out there who have the silicone case for the Micro, aka Rhino Sk

I have the silicone case too, aka Rhino skin.
what i was wondering, do you us the black belt clip that comes with it's
the reason i ask is because i used it once just to try it out. it seems like when ever you press down on it so you can clip it to your side, It's like it is putting to much pressure on the micro battery cover. what do you think? do you use you belt clip that came with your silicone case?
also i ended up with some fresh scratches.
do you use your belt clip that came with your rhino case?

Umm, well, I have a silicone case, but it didn't come with a belt clip, unless your talking about the hardcase that came with the micro.
If that's what your'e reffering to, no, I don't do that. I tried putting it in after it was in the silicone case, but once I saw that it didn't fit in directly and that I would have to add pressure, I didn't bother. I keep my Zen Micro in the silicone case, and then I put them in an altoids box. I have some soft cusion thingy on the inside of the lid so that my screen won't scrath, and I drilled a hole on the side of the altoids case for headphone/usb jack.

Lock front panel until the event case for this event completes

A Dynamic Event is a filtered event? Is this why "Lock front panel until the event case for this event completes" is not shown on Edit Event window dialog? I use Dynamic Event so I can subvi the event structure.
I need stop my app from locking the FP whenever the user double clicks on the numerical array value (<-- the FP freezes the mouse and renders it useless) and stops the value from ever being changed. This event is registered for Value Change (not mouse up or down) and I get a locked mouse. As yet in the UI, no value changed occurs but I get a locked mouse. A LV bug?
Trying to KISS, I can see this fixing this by moving ONLY the value change event to the top level VI instead of a dynamic registered event in a subVI. This will give me the option to NOT "Lock front panel until the event case for this event completes" .
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thx, Ben that fixed the problem when I unchecked "Lock panel...".
So it appears LV locks the panel during runtime once the Dynamic Reg Events is on BD and it doesn't matter if your case to handle the Reg Events is created or NOT... interesting. That's why my mouse persisted to "freeze up" although I deleted the case for my FP array.
Its situation like what you described that has given me many insights into how LV actually works. In one of my bbuggy VI's I found that a class wire can run a million miles through multiple sub-VI queues etc but the data itself is only touched when it has to be touched. in my case it was a crash while trying to write bogus class dat to a TDMS file.
I am glad you are back on course.

Hi Kumar,
I will give just hints rest you have to think and act not about Interview quotations but SAP MM career.
There are couple of guys and all of them has got job, first as a SAP testing, as SAP freshers in HCL/HP India etc.
Later on they have learnt all the business process in project and all the E2E cycles in MM/SD/FICO etc.
Now they are working on support projects and roll out projects.
I think there are ways and we need to understand how to explore all the job possibilities.
Please have good knowledge and definitely you will succeed. Short cuts are not always the way to success.
Hope all my fresher friends will find some clue here....

What table is the business purpose for mileage stored?

We need to report the business purpose for mileage just as we do the business purpose for receipts. However, it does not appear that the business purpose is stored in the same location?
Thank you,

A consultant was able to help us with this - it is stored in a cluster table and the FM HRTRV_IF_GET_TRIP can be used to retrieve it.
