General Questions about SEM-BCS Data Transfer

Please help me guys ! I need a clearer picture as to how exactly the loading of data should be done to SAP SEM-Busines Consolidation
Q1) Can I specify the Basic Cubes in my Data Basis Streams that I use for FI & CO in BCS-Workbench ? Or do I need to switch these cubes to Transactional, so it can be used in SEM-BCS ?
Q2) or Do I have to export the data out of my FI & CO cubes in BW to a FLAT FILE, and then load the Flat File into custom Transactional Cubes ?
Q3) Usually, for SEM-BCS would there be any direct connection to SAP R/3 or it`s via BW ?
Please help me with these initial issues guys ! Very much appreciated!

Hi Eugene,
   Great man! You`re back!...Nice to hear from yourself
   Anyways, I still am struggling to understand the Intergration from SEM-BCS with BW and/or R/3. If you have any material that can help me understand the intergration would be helpful.
   So, I had a look into the SAP Note 689229
   It says, all changes of master data nad hierarchies have to be made via the application layer by means of application SEM-BCS :-
a) By Flexible Upload
b) Manually in Consolidation Workbench
c) In Subordinate systems from transports
Hence, am I correct to assume that the only 2 options are permitted: Option (a) Flat File (b) Manually define the master data in BCS-Workbench ?
    So, now assuming that I need to define Consolidation Items into SEM-BCS.
Because there's too many, I would go with option (b) Flat File.
So, I create a Flat File containing the Consolidation Items. Next, how do I get this loaded into BCS-Console ?
Do I have to create a Transactional Info Cube and then load this Consolidation Items Flat File into it? Then following from there, I specify this Transactional Info Cube in my Data Stream ? or
Is there a way, I can directly read the Flat File from SEM-BCS ?
I use the following Info Cubes as source to my Data Basis:-
                   <b>Data Target | Virtual InfoProvider</b>
TOTAL RECORDS =   0BCS_C50    |     0ECCS_C05
DOCUMENTS     =   0BCS_DS12   |     0BCS_VC12
   P/S: We don`t use the SAP R/3 ECCS Module

Quick Question About Setup Assistant Data Transfer

In the initial Setup Assistant walkthrough for the new iMac, does it allow you to do the automatic transfer from Time Machine (external HDD) as well as from the old Mac itself? My old Macbook Pro is hurting and may not last through the transfer process.

Any info about EDT (External Data transfer)

Hi,
I am working in insurance module of SAP. There is a business object called Business Partner which we need to migrate from legacy to R/3.
Now for migration of Business partner generally LSMW is not used. People here use EDT (External data transfer).
Does some one know about EDT as data transfer tools ?

General Question about SAP Documentation. Where to find?

Hello,
I am relatively new in the SAP business and so I have some general questions about the SAP Documentation.
Often internet-links like
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-PT.pdf
are posted here by group members.
But where do these group members find these documents?
All I can see at help.sap.com is IDES (the model company created by SAP)and the WWW-version of the SAP-Bibliothek.
Were can I find these PDF-Files?
I would appreciate any hint and tip!
Thank you!

General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

Hello to everyone,
I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

Question about Rescheduling Start Date of a Task

Question about Rescheduling Start Date of a Task
I'm trying to determine whether the 'Reschedule' action is appropriate to my situation...
I have a service that consists of 4 tasks. The first 3 tasks will be completed immediately and then the request's 4th task will sit in a queue for about a month so that all of these requests can be grouped together and fulfilled during a few overnight work sessions.
While the 4th task is waiting to be fulfilled, the technician will be contacting the requestor to schedule the work to be done sometime during a 3 day window. The technician needs to specify which of the 3 days each request will be worked on. I'm not sure if I should store the date in a service form field or have the technician reschedule the task so that the start date of the task is set to one of the 3 days. If I use the reschedule feature, are there any downsides?
The advantage of using the reschedule feature is that the scheduled start date can be displayed in ServiceManager's task list and can therefore be sorted on and queried. This wouldn't be possible if I stored the date in a dictionary field on the service form. In that case, I'd have to use custom reports to group the tasks by start date.
Please let me know your thoughts...
Thanks,
Scott

This strikes me as a very good use of this feature, since your need to to have the date for this task rescheduled/reflected in ServiceManager. This is the specific effect of using this feature.
For the benefit of others reading this post, remember: this rescheduled date will not change the due date for the service.

Newbie question - general question about e-mail sync

Hi,
I have a general question about email sync and BlackBerry smartphones. Are there any devices that allow email syncing with a Microsoft Exchange 2007 system that do not require the BlackBerry Enterprise server?
Thanks; sorry if this has been asked before but I was unable to find it in the forums, documentation, etc. Everything I found assumes that for this kind of environment you will be using a BlackBerry Enterprise solution, but I can't assume.
Thanks again.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If the Exchange server has anything that faces the internet (OWA, POP, IMAP), then BIS can be used to handle email (only email...calendar and contacts require BES to sync OTA).
Or, a PC, inside the network (but with an internet path) and logged into the email server (using Outlook), can be left running, using the RIM Desktop Software's Desktop Redirector capability to forward messages to the BB.
Those are basically the options.
Hope that helps! Let us know!

SEM-BCS data extractor from ECC general ledger table(s)

We are a utility company working on an SEM-BCS implementation and use the FERC solution. We do not use the new GL. We are trying to extract the transaction data from ECC to a BI virtual remote cube. We cannot use the profit center extractor (0EC_PCA_3) as the profit center tables do not contain any ferc data. We need to be able to extract the transaction data from a general ledger table. We have run into several issues with various extractors we have tried because they donu2019t allow direct access (0FI_GL_4) or are at a summary level and we canu2019t extract group account, trading partner, and transaction type detail (0FI_GL_1). Would you have any suggestions on how to extract general ledger data with the detail information required from ECC to be able to load to a BI virtual remote cube?

We are going forward with getting the natural account detail data using the profit center extractor 0EC_PCA_3, and getting the ferc summary data using the general ledger extractor 0FI_GL_1. With our testing so far, this combination will provide us the data we need in BCS.

General Questions about BI

Hello,
I want to get into SAP BI and have some questions about it.
Is there a big downside in installing only the BI components without the Java BI components, or is it even possible if you want to work with BI. What are the general differences between BI and Java BI?
I think the main aspects i will work with will be data warehousing and some basic reporting.
The reason why i'm asking is that i want to run the BI components in the same system as the ECC Server (its just a test system). I read that the Java BI component needs EPC and EP and that would probably be too much for a single system (6 GB RAM).
Thanks a lot in advance,
Martin

Thanks for your hints, they were really helpful.
As i mentioned i mainly want to work with the general Data Warehouse and Reporting capabilities, so i think it should be okay.
Actually i'm planing to write about BI and SAP within my master thesis.
Another question, what will be with SAP BI in the future regarding the Business Object acquisition? Is there still any point in learning SAP BI or will SAP BI disapear in the future? I heard that the basic BI functionality (e.g. Datawarehouse ) will still be used but the reporting capabilities would be disappear. I'm not sure if that is right and i'm really new to this topic. So any comments are welcome.
Thanks,
Martin

SEM-BCS: total transfer

Hello,
I need help.
Scenario: Two companies will be merging as one and falls under the same cons group.
Is total transfer (under COI) the correct activity to use?
If yes, please help share what are the different settings, changes, financial data, so I can test in the SEM-BCS.
Thank you in advance

Hi Jouan,
So are you trying to say that total transfer is not for merging one company to another company scenario?
For example company A fully acquired company B. So we intend to merge company B'sfinancial data into company A.
Can we use total transfer for this?
Thank you.

A question about UDA and Data-Forms

Hi all,
I have a couple of questions about UDA. I am using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3m, and when I desing a Data-Form I would need to use the UDA I asigned for the Entity dimension: is that posiible?
The other question is, when creating a Substiution Variable in Essbase I use the function @UDA (+dimension+, "MemberA"), but when using this variable in the Data-Form, it does nothing at all(in fact, it is been detected as an error). Why is that happening?
Thanks a lot

Use an attribute dimension to achieve what you are trying to do with UDA's in a data form. An attribute dimension will allow you to filter on members in the base dimension by a specific attribute the same way a UDA will. You can create the attribute dimension in the dimension editor in Planning by selecting the base dimension (Entity) and then select the custom attributes' button. Check the dba guide for a step-by-step approach.
With regards to the subvar, are you trying to add the function as a value of the subvar when you create it in EAS? If so, this is not allowed. What are you trying to do with the subvar on the form? Subvars are supported in data forms as part of the member selection for a dimension. For instance, you can set up a subvar called CurYear and set the value equal to FY11 for the Fiscal Year dimension. In the data form you can set the member selection for the Fiscal Year dimension to CurYear. When the user opens the form, the member FY11 is returned.

SEM-BCS Data-Entry-Layouts

Hi all
We are currently planning a migration from EC-CS zu SEM-BCS. One goal is to replace the existing Excel-VBAs for data-entry, which are difficult to maintain.
Before we evaluate a solution outside of SEM-BCS we would like to check whether the Data-Entry-Layouts would be appropriate.
I was able to setup several forms (using data-driven or fixed structures). Data input works fine. Data is available in the cube after saving.
The problem: Whenever I open a data-entry-layout again the already existing data in the cube is not displayed. I can continue to enter data, which is also saved in the cube, but the already existing data is not displayed. This is not really user friendly.
- Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong with my forms?
- What are your experiences with the data-entry-layouts? Do you use them or do you use different ways to post data to SEM-BCS? What would you recommend?
Thank you
Best regards
Markus

The problem is solved by using all existing Support Packages. Obviously there was an issue with the data entry forms which was solved with one of the existing Support Packages.
Regards
Markus

Some General Questions about using SSL sockets

1 Since both SSL and TLS rely on public-key cryptography, can I use it efficiently for encrypting large amount of data transfer within a network? Or I�ll be better off using secret key.
2 If I understand correctly, I can install client/server certificate (public key) along with the software installation. Is that right? In other words, I don�t have to create them programmatically.
3 To convert our unsecured client/server application, is it enough to replace plain sockets with SSL sockets and use a self signed certificate for the server? (Ours is a closed network and we don�t require any client authentication).
4 How does SSL handles server to server communications?
5 How do you encrypt data ( some of the fields) in a text file?
Thank you all.

hey there.
1.yes you can use it to encrypt large amounts of data, and heres why:
when you use SSL, it uses public key encryption to first tranfser across a private key. then from then on the data is simply private key encrypted, which is relatively fast and easy.
2. Yes, you may chose to make them programatically or not
4. the question doesn't really make sense. In the end, what is a Server and what is a Client is up to your application. From SSL's point of view, you just have two machines with Sockets on either side that are connected. You can use SSLSocket.setClientMode(boolean) to choose which of those socket will act as the "server" for the purpose of the authentication handsake.

Question about exporting FBL3N data in Pivot table format

Dear all
I have a question about the "exporting file" function of ECC 6.0.
We started to use ECC 6.0 system, and it appears that we are no longer able to export "FBL3N data" to a local PC in pivot table format.
Is there a way to do it?
We used to be able to do so when the system is 4.6.
I appreciate your support!
Kind regards

Dear:
You can do that. Execute report FBL3N with desired GL account in it. After when report has been executed right click on it. There will be an option Spread Sheet. Select all available format. In drill down select 08 (Excel in existing XXL format) and press OK. There you will get pivot table option for downloading., Hope this will help you resolve your query.
Regards
