Function Point Analysis for SAP BW Projects

Hello All,
Have been assigned a task to come up with Function Point
analysis for SAP BW projects.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mainak

Hi Mainak,
Function Point Analysis is independent of technology, methodology or platform, so there is no function point analysis specific for sap bw, rather you should familiarize with the fundamentals of FPA.
And as you might know, FAP is used to determine whether a given a tool, an environment or a language is more productive when compared to others.
I can send you good links if you can give me your email-id.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,
Raj

Function Point Analysis in SAP

Dear All,
I am a Technical Consultant, currently working with the Quality Team on a temporary basis.
Can anyone please point out how to perform estimation of projects in SAP with the help of Function Point (FP).
If it is difficult with FP then give some alternate methods.

Arun Krishnan.G

There are lot of links you can found related to FPA and IFPUG. Check with net search.

Hi All,
Please share the cutover checklist for SAP BI project.
Thanks
Sandeep

sandeep,
please give us details of ...
where you are on the upgrade
landscape you are trying to upgrade
nature of systems ....
cutover depends on :
1. criticality of systems and their availability
2. Nature of upgrade - if you are upgrading your sandbox - then cutover is just a formality
3. Ensuring that no data loss happens...
Please be more specific - also search the forums on the same ..... this has been discussed a lot many times...
since you have not given details - I expect that you will be adding more details to your post and am not locking your post....

Function Point Analysis Report

Hi!
We use Function Point Analysis Report in Oracle Designer 6.0 (it exist even in Designer 1.3.2) and now we´re migrating to Oracle Designer 9i.
I was trying to use "Function Point Analysis Report" in Oracle Designer 9i but it doesn´t exist anymore.
Does anybody knows how to get function point analysis report now?
Or does anybody have any suggestion on how to get this report?

These reports were removed in the move from 6.0 to 6i. You can create your own repository reports if you need them. There is a document on OTN describing how you can do this on the Repository Site, under a section called Sample code: http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/scm/index.html

How you complete impact analysis for SAP Universe

hi,
i want to know that how to how you complete impact analysis for SAP Universe

EdPC-SCB,
have you tried enabling auditing?
- Yes, audit log only shows user's activities which isn't useful for us. Please let us know any audit log that might be helpful .
For most of the servers listed in the CMC there is an "Audit" tab. I'd say if you have the disk space in your database for Auditor available, then if in doubt turn it on (at least for a while) to see if it exposes what you are seeking to find out --that'd be the quickest way. The documentation (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf) doesn't offer much in helping you to see a correlation between ticking on an Audit option in a Server and how it will populate in the Auditor DB -- most of us just hunt and peck until we get what we want. Once you have the good stuff in each of the Servers ticked on you'll be able to track down which report recieves which object. To help youself out initially, you should run every report that you can find so Auditor will get seeded.
thanks,
John

Going live check for SAP upgrade projects

Hello,
I am interested in "going live check" service and procedures for my upgrade projects. May I find any documentation? Do I have to pay for it?..
Thanking you in advance and a happy new years!
Kind regards
Nilüfer Çalışkan

Hi Nilufer,
The following Input as follows :
Source : http://www.thespot4sap.com/upgrade_guide_v2.pdf
This service is included as part of your annual maintenance fee.
The underlying concept of the SAP GoingLive Functional Upgrade Check is
to ensure smooth operation of your mySAP.com solution by taking action
proactively, before severe technical problems occur.
The GoingLive Functional Upgrade Check is made up of three sessions
(Planning, Analysis and Verification)two sessions (Planning and Analysis)
before the upgrade and the other (Verification) after the upgrade.
Planning Session: This session should be performed as much in advance as
possible when the upgrade is first being considered.
Analyses compatibility for the target release with regards to connected
systems in the Solution Landscape, OS version, DB version, installed Add-
Ons, Plug-ins, Country Versions, and so on.
Analysis Session: It is generally performed two months before the
production upgrade (consider lead time for hardware procurement).
The focus is on resource planning and system configuration.
There is a high-level hardware plausibility check (this is not a hardware
sizing exercise).
Potential resource bottlenecks are identified.
Necessary changes will be recommended to prepare the system for the
productive use of the new release.
38 SAP Upgrade Guide | Simplifying Your Upgrade
Verification Session: Generally performed four to six weeks after the
production upgrade, and the recommendation from the analysis session
implemented.
Comparison of performance with results prior to upgrade
Recommendations on configuration and optimization

Functional Upgrade Check web page at:

Functional Specification Documents for SAP Sales and Distribution

Dear Gurus,
I am having the problems of Invoice Output..... the default out put generated by the SAP is completely different from the hard copy of the Invoice of the Client. ppl say that I have 2 take the help of ABAPers to define the smart forms for the invoices of different company codes.... i had conversation with the ABAPers.... butthey are asking the format, wht ever the change we are looking for..... I am not be able to get the exact format.... how 2 provide this to ABAPers in FS format.
can any one pls send me ( or provide me the link to download the same from the SDN website) these Functional Specification Documents for Sales and distribution.
Wishes,
Abhishek

Hi there,
1st try to understand what is a functional specification doc before asking for it.
Functional specs is a doc in which you include what is the business requirement. If it requires a change to change to existing configs / code, then you will give the progs & the location where you will need to change. If the requirement is a totally new one, then yuo will explain the requirement in detail & possibly give the progs / code if there are any.
In your case, your client has a specific invoice format which is different from which SAP gives, in such cases, you will need to define a new Invoice output for eg ZINV. Define it as a print output. You will need to define a new print prog for the new output in which you will call smart forms to define the layout & fields.
Ask your business user to send the invoice copy which he has. Scan it & include it in the functional specs which you prepare. Mention all the fields which you want in the layout. Ask the ABAPer to code the invoice format in the same way. ABAPer is free to define any convinent name as per the guidelines (which he will be aware). You will need to assign that in the form routines of the output.
As a functional consultant you will need to give the field mappings (from where you get the data) for all the fields which you wish to print in the output. All that should be included in the func specs.
So there is no standard func specs that you can follow. Each func specs varies on the requirement. So dont ask these kind of questions in SDN forum. If you dont know how to define func specs, ask how to define. Dont ask people to send the sample func specs. Thats against the rules of conduct.

Sivanand

Best Practice for SAP BW project implemetation/management

BACKGROUND: I have worked with Microsoft NAV ERP system, but in my new job I am working with SAP BW including BPS.
In Microsoft world we had a framework covering all aspects of a project form pre-sales, analyzis, design, implementation called Sure Step. (http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/support/implementation/success.aspx)
The framework consist of templates like risk register, business case, requierement collection, questionaries and check-lists. In addition to cover the whole project management part of a project (texts about what should bee done in diffrent phases).
I found a template searching for some BPS stuff http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=SAPBPScreate+questionaree&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CDkQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sdn.sap.com%2Firj%2Fscn%2Findex%3Frid%3D%2Flibrary%2Fuuid%2F90465610-181c-2a10-eba4-eb6d550682f5%26overridelayout%3Dtrue&ei=7EzfTof3DqiQ4gTc0_C9Bg&usg=AFQjCNFJTtkQ8d3c3ZA_NbW0Gpot_m0SwQ
QUESTION:
Does SAP have a similar project framework (for BW) with templates to use in different part of a project, like analysis, design and so on? Is it free for everybody to download and use?

Hello Ramesh,
you should have a look at the SAP Instguide, and if it tells you to do as your colleagues say, open a ticket to SAP and ask, whether doing it the otherw ay could have spoiled your system. Anything but an official "yes, it's ok" won't help you.
For the other guys: have a loook at http://service.sap.com/instguides, there you can find all the guides you need.
kind regards,

Data Services XI3.1 function module files for SAP R/3 is not working

Hi guys,
Thank you for the quick response so far. I am very grateful to you all.
I got an issue and will try to explain as detail as I could and
hope ur guys won't mind. :P
I pass the functions module to SAP tech guy to install to SAP using CTS
method, and using 900086.R63 file type because my chinese client is
running SAP on unicode environment.
My DS installed on my laptop client; job server plus db2 is on HP
unix. SAP is on another HP Unix server. The function module I used is
supplied from Data Services XI3.1.
Anyway, the installation is successfully done with GUI wizard windows of
SAP Workbench instead of tp command line method.
1)However, I checked the ZAW0 function group, I opened and can't see any functions
listed under it, although the table structures ZACTA, ZTAB2048 and other items
were created.
2)So I tried to create SAP Datastore, Transport Target, etc and tried to
extract file. It failed and log said "can't open file ---
/db2/temp/curcode.txt". I checked and SAP working directory /db2/temp didn't have
curcode.txt, because the result file supposed to be extracted and stored there.
The SAP tech guy checked SAP and cant find generated ABAP program of
ZCURCD is running anyway, although my local CURCD ABAP program is
created.
3)Is it the 900086.R63 not complete? Is my function installation correct? I could view data
on datastore, but just cant run job to extract. Another non-unidcode 900200.S08 group
has larger file sizes. Should I try to install also this 900200.S08 files? Will it corrupt SAP
and cause system errors?
4)After that, I had tried to install the functions manually into ZAW0
one by one using cut and paste, however after that, I cant view the data view anymore with
error. Besides, I tried to run Check on the functions and they all returned
syntax errors, so I cant Activate any of them with SAP. Maybe dependency is missing??
Then, I deleted the manually installed functions and can view data again, but just cant extract
data by job.
5)Another side issue is all these SAP datastore creation and viewing is
through DI 11.5 old installation. The new Data Services X3.1 unable to
create datastore with database error, although the function module
installed is came from Data Services. Does anyone know the issue?
Thank you very much to read it patiently. :P

Hi,
Thank you for the informative link. It did help a lot in solving the problem.
(1) to (4) --- The Sap tech guy didnt install the function programs correctly, and he redo the transport again using CTS. Now I can see all the functions inside the function group ZAW0. While for the problem of cannot generate extracted file to SAP working directory for downloading, it is due to unix directory access permission setting. And also have to include the ftp username into SAPSYS user group as the help link suggested.
(5) For this problem, I reinstalled again the DS with all required components like Server Manager. The network technical guy helped me with the first installation, and the installation was not complete. So now the issue is solved, I can create R/3 Datastore with DS.

Risk Analysis for SAP HR structural authorization

Hi experts, for those who are familiar with SAP HR structural authorization setup, can you advice what tools out there are able to implement risk based on Structural Authorization as well.
SAP RAR/CC is not able to do this at the moment, but i am not sure if tools like CSI has the capabilities.
Appreciate the advice.

Hi,
Structural Authorizations "sits" on Standard authorizations. These Structural Authorizations will need to be defined manually ( as far as I know) depending on the "Evaluation Path".
Award points if answer was useful.
Thanks

Project Time estimate for SAP BI

Hi Experts,
Can somebody please give me the time estimate for SAP BI project.
I am supposed to give effort analysis for BI implementation project.
Thanks in Advance.

If you know the scope of the project you can give rough estimate. Scoping gives you idea about number of Business process to be mapped in BI, number of reports required, criticality of report. The timing will alos depend upon the standard /customized content and enhancement done in source system. If there are independent business process you can reduce the implementation time by increaing the resources for the project.
If you want to get idea about time check the ASAP methodology and see how much time you need for each step of project plan. Roughly you will get the time.

Kams
