Functional Upgrad from BW 3.x to Netweaver 2004s

Hi Guys,
i have gone through almost entite forum on sdn but i could not get the information/document for functional upgrad. currently i am using BW 3.5 and going for BI 7.0

Hello,
There are multiple resources to review since a functional upgrade requires a value proposition, gap analysis, and in some cases an ROI.
First, all releases below BW 3.5 are currently scheduled to go off maintenance December 2006. So customers need to be at release BW 3.5 or higher by Jan. 1, 2007. This helps with the value proposition!
Please check the delta feature list from BW 3.5 to NW 2004s BI on SDN or the Service Marketplace. As Prakash mentioned, customers should evaluate which features they want to implement and the timeframe. Many customers will focus on a technical upgrade which is what we recommend initially, and also determine which features could be included in the first go-live. Other features can be added to subsequent go-lives, but this is based on customer specific go-live timetables. Some customers have implemented only new functionality while others only chose the most important, i.e. BI accelerator, BEx.
Also, please check the webinar entitled "Upgrading to NW 2004s BI" which covers many of these points and lists the relevant references.
Finally, SAP (and trained partners) will be offering an Upgrade Assessment service beginning of July which will assist customers in planning an upgrade to NW 2004s BI including both technical and functional considerations. Please contact your SAP account team for more information.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hi I have a table like following
column1 column2 column3 cloumn4 start_Date
1 601 A B 10-jan-2007
2 601 A B 11 -jan-2007
1 602 A B 12-jan-007
1 603 A C 12-jan-2007
there is no Uk on this table.
now I have to group column2 ,column3 ,column4.
I finally need to get the row that has highest start date. Effectively meaming
there will be three groups based on abouve data:
1st is:
1 601 A B 10-jan-2007
2 601 A B 11 -jan-2007
2nd is
1 602 A B 12-jan-007
3rd is
1 603 A C 12-jan-2007
now i need to get the second row from the first group only
2 601 A B 11 -jan-2007
i dont need data from other groups since they have less than 2 rows.
How can I achieve this using analytics function.
Please help!!

Hi,
Can you please provide an example. I am sorry, this
is my first day with analytice :(I figured as much; that's why I gave you detailed instructions to gain some experience by building on the
query that Forms already gave you (slightly prettied up below):
select *
from    (   -- Begin sub-query
        SELECT column1,column2,column3,column4
        ,        row_number () over
                    ( partition by column2,column3,column4
                      order by start_date desc
                    ) as rnk -- "rank" is not a good name
        from   table
        )   -- End sub-query
where   rnk = 1;
[pre]
Follow the instructions I gave you earlier.
Add the analytic "COUNT (*) OVER (...) AS cnt" function next to the analytic ROW_NUMBER function in Forms' query.
Add the test for "cnt >= 2" next to the test for "rnk = 1".

Iterative function in Assessment Cycles

As I know about "Iteration" function in assessment cycle is u201Cindicator controls whether iterative sender/receiver relationships are considered when this cycle is processed. The iteration is repeated until each sender is fully credited u201Cbut its setting is required to perform the said function?
Because we have activated the Iterative indicator but still not performing. Our requirement is to allocate the cost of two service cost centers which are providing services to each others how it could be done that until it become zero cost.
To achieve this what is required to create whether we create 1 cycle which contain 1 segment and system will perform Iteration automatically until the cost become zero or we need to create several segments to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Iterative Processing
If you want to execute the processing iteratively, you must select "Iterative" for the cycle. The SAP System also includes cyclical relationships in the cost center network (a receiver can also be a sender of costs).

Questions on pre upgrade assessment

Pl. tell me what can be the typical questions asked to the client on Pre Upgrade assessment of SAP BI (latest version)

Hi,
You have asked a lot in one single question....but i'll try to summarize..
First as you are doing pre-assesment of BI Upgrade, you need to find the existing loopholes in the current systems that can be filled in by the upgrade and same need to be conveyed to the customer. After that it's customer's who has to answer or make choice if he is ready for the upgrade or not.
Secondly, If customer is aware of what are the requirements then you need to get all of them in clear cut understanding, which will enable you to pre-assess on if the said goals can be achieved or not.
Third, Involvement of end-user, superusers and consultants from the customer in upgrade , the timeline , the budget, the Hardware & Software procurement things and so on...the list is dependent on what are you upgrading and what are the prerequisites for the same.
Hope this helps
Regards
Raj

Upgrade assessment questionnnaire

< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please read the [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] before posting next time. >
Can anyone share the list of questions to be asked for an Upgrade assessment. I am looking for a comprehensice list that will cover everything required for an upgrade proposal.
Thanks and regards,
Yogendra Chechi

That should not be your business, as far as upgrade is concern, functional consultants are required for that job, Key users should advise about the reports not used anymore, and so on.
Put it this way, you check and found that in the last 8 months only 700 reports have been used, and you decided that the other 300 can be deleted or not taken for the functional upgrade but next month after upgrade is finished the CEO asks for a report that he ussualy runs once a year, what will you tell him?
Also, when upgrading Z reports some times needs to be adjusted, Who will do that? sometimes new version will bring new reports and probably most Z reports will be not needed anymore but Functional personel is who should know that.

Urgent help required: Query regarding LC Variables

Hi All
Sometime earlier I was working on a performance issue raised by a customer. It was shell script that was taking almost 8-9 hrs to complete. During my research I came across a fact that there were some variables which were not set, the LC variables were impacting the sort funnel operations because of which the script was taking a long time to execute.
I asked them to export the following commands, after which the program went on smoothly and finished in a couple of mins:
export LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
export LC_MESSAGES=C
export LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
export LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
export HZ=100
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Later I did recover that setting the LC_COLLATE to C, is not helping and the program was again taking a lot of time. Few questions that I want to ask are:
1. Can someone please tell me, what each of these variable mean and how these values make a difference.
2. When I exported LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1, it worked fine, but when i tried with the defalut value LC_COLLATE=C, then why the program didnt work.
As this issue is still going on, hence I would request All to provide their valuable inputs and let me know as much as possible.
Appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks
Amit
Hi All
A new development in this regard. The customer has send us a screen shot in which they were trying to export the locale variable using the commands which I have pasted above. I can see in the screen shot that while exporting LC_COLLATE and LC_TYPE, they get a message that ""ksh: export: couldn't set locale correctly"".
Request everyone to please give their inputs as it's a bit urgent.
Thanks for all the help in advance.
Thanks
Amit

Doubts in functional upgradation from 3.x to 7.0.

Hi All,
I have some doubts in functional upgradation from 3.x to 7.0.
After migration of Transfer rules, update rules ( between the ods & cube also) & datasource.
1). Cube & ods have filed which is added like enhanced field, do we have to do anything after migration for that filed.
2). Is the Z object also will get migrated automatically or not ( i have zfield in the datasource).
3). If i have a routines in the trans rules & update rules, what has to be done for these routines
4). How the custom reports, deliverd reports and workbooks will get migrated.
5). Macros in the web templets ( is the macros coding in the web templets also will get migrated auto matically r do we need to rewrite the coding).
6). Is the migration steps are same for the all SD, MM, FI datasources.

1. this should not be a problem
2. IO is not needed to be migrated, it is not changed so much between 3x. and 7.x
3. routines & update rules in the trans rules are migrated automatically, see

Help required. I don't want to use NetworkManager.

The following might be useful:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/783533
"When transitioning from NetworkManager to using the network initscript, the default gateway parameter in the interface's ifcfg file will be depicted as 'GATEWAY0'. In order for the ifcfg file to be compatible with the network initscript, this parameter must be renamed to 'GATEWAY'. This limitation will be addressed in an upcoming release of RHEL7."
NetworkManager is now the default mechanism for RHEL 7. Personally I don't quite understand this, because as far as I can gather it is a program for systems to automatically detect and connect to known networks. I think such functionality can be useful when switching between wireless and wired networks, but for a server platform, I wonder.

Help required with (soundcard) connection / settings, thanks in advan

Help required with connection / settings between a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX (soundcard) and a Creative DTT3500 Digital (5. speakers).
The problem
No sound from any of the speakers. (Exception can plug in headphones at front)
Background
My computer has been recently upgraded at my local computer shop and all programs re-installed (including driver update from Creative's website). However after reconnecting speakers and restoring the original settings I?m getting no sound from any of the speakers. I?ve followed all the available advice/instructions I can find on this website and manuals to no avail.
Set-up
Physical
(Digital DIN) Speakers/decoder amplifier (DTT3500) connected to the (digital out) soundcard (Audigy Platinum EX) using minijack to DIN cable. (As per instruction manual)
Software
Creative Audio Consul ? setting as per instructions, however have tried variations in vain. (Note: above tabs there is a select device box with SB Audigy [A0000] in it ? only option. Just wondering what [A0000] means?)
Your advice please. A simple step by step guide would be appreciated, many thanks in advance, Jon

"My computer has been recently upgraded at my local computer shop and all programs re-installed (including driver update from Creative's website). "
Do you have the original installation disk?
If so, try installing THOSE drivers, ESPECIALLY if it worked before. Be sure to uninstall what is there now, first.
Its natural for most people to want the 'latest' drivers for their hardware. However:
After experiencing some difficulties with some CL 'updates' for certain products, I now avoid them UNLESS I am having a PROBLEM with the existing drivers.

Pricing Error (help required)

Is there any routine which includes the tax value in R100 as well ,currently the problem is that the 100% Discount condition is only including the net price
And in the pricing procedure i m using two prices one price of tax calculation and the other is consumer price first i calculate the tax from base price then i deduct the tax from the consumer price this calculation is working fine through standard routines.
Only problem is that when i enter NRAB and R100 at end it only includes Net Value which is calculated through Formual using condition type NTPS
Kindly Help Required ASAP

Hi ABAPAR,
I m not getting the exact picture of what U desired, from your pricing procedure.
As you r using multiple free goods condition type...anyway.
If you wanted to make the calculated tax "amount + "as a basis for the calculation of particular condition type.you can use the functionality of subtotal.
That mean go and assign one subtotal no. to subtotal column in your pricing procedur to all condition type to which you wanted to make as a basis for furthur calculation.(this settings allow the total of all values in one subtotal).
And finally U can assign this subtotal no.to the "alt.cal.B.value "of pricing procedure for the calculation of particular condition type.
If you r using any std condion type that come up with certain routine like NRAB or somthing...possibly that will not allow u to do this settings. so in this case clear your free goods requirement or use any new condition type. i.e . Z creation.
consult your SD consultant.
