OBIA and OBIEE implementation requirements and Questions

Hi,
I am looking for a documentation, which could give me some questions to implement OBIA and OBIEE. Do we have any documentation like this which could give customer a basic idea about OBIEE and OBIA and what it takes for them to implement them.
Basically we are looking for a documentation of questionarie which could guide clients to choose OBIEE and OBIA with hardware and licensing requirements.
Can you please share if you have come across such a document.
Thank You.

SSM and BPC - Implementation Options and Concerns

Hi,
I am hoping that someone can assist with some BPC/SSM implementation queries.
Until recently, our client was intending to implement SEM-CPM and SEM-BPS. Now, our client is considering the implementation of SSM and BPC. This raises a number of questions with regards to these products and their integration with Netweaver 7.0. Kindly see my questions/comments below:
BPC
1. Our client intends to implement BPC 5.1 immediately and then migrate to BPC 7.0 once the integration with BW is provided for. Until BPC 7.0 becomes available, it was assumed that BPC could exchange data with SAP BW by means of a flat file export/import process. From a technical perspective, is this assumption correct? Would you recommend this approach? Are there other ways to enable this data exchange?
2. In order to allow for effective data exchange between BW and BPC, we will need to replicate the BW cubes in BPC and update these cubes with the required BW master and meta data. In this case, I understand that data integrity and synchronization between BW and BPC is very difficult to maintain. What are your views in this regard? What steps can be taken to improve this sychronisation process?
3. SAP has committed to provide BPC/BW integration next year. Considering this, do you recommend that we begin with a BPC 5.1 implementation now or do you recommend that we wait until the integration is provided in version BPC 7.0.?
SSM
1. Does PilotWorks exist in Unix and what data base must it use?
2. What is the maturity of the mapping tool used to map SAP to Pilot Works?
3. Is there any data that must reside in Pilot Works or can all data be centralised in BW?
4. Is there any workstation setup necessary to run Pilot Works off a desktop?
General CPM
1. Even though we are still deciding which planning/balanced scorecard tool is ideal, we intend to begin immediately with the BW data modeling process. Is it reasonable to assume that the eventual decision to implement BPC or SSM will NOT have a significant impact on the data model from a functional or technical perspective? Obviously, we do not wish to build a data model that will be incompatible with BPC/SSM or that will place limitations on BPC/SSM functionality. If BPC/SSM will impact data modelling, what points should we take into consideration when preparing our data model in BW? For example, what data locking issues exist in BPC and how will this impact our BW data modelling?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance/views.
Thanks,
Ross

Hi Ross
Tried to answer your questions on BPC/CPM, my collegues in SSM will answer your SSM queries:
BPC
1. Our client intends to implement BPC 5.1 immediately and then migrate to BPC 7.0 once the integration with BW is provided for. Until BPC 7.0 becomes available, it was assumed that BPC could exchange data with SAP BW by means of a flat file export/import process. From a technical perspective, is this assumption correct? Would you recommend this approach? Are there other ways to enable this data exchange?
Yes this is a right approach.
2. In order to allow for effective data exchange between BW and BPC, we will need to replicate the BW cubes in BPC and update these cubes with the required BW master and meta data. In this case, I understand that data integrity and synchronization between BW and BPC is very difficult to maintain. What are your views in this regard? What steps can be taken to improve this sychronisation process?
You can use informatica with whom SAP have a OEM agreement, to facilitate this process
3. SAP has committed to provide BPC/BW integration next year. Considering this, do you recommend that we begin with a BPC 5.1 implementation now or do you recommend that we wait until the integration is provided in version BPC 7.0.?
You should start with 5.1 implementation and later migrate to 7.0. With that you can start using the functionality and only the platform layer will change later

There will not be any compromises on functionality and therefore you should be good to have any data model within BPC model

Project implementation process and toll using for the implemetation

what r the steps involved in project implementaion

hi,
The ASAP methodology is recommended by SAP for implementation planning and system implementation. It has the following phases.
Project Preparation - The primary focus of Phase 1 is getting the project started, identifying team members and developing a high-level plan.
Business Blueprint - The primary focus of Phase 2 is to understand the business goals of the company and to determine the business requirements needed to support those goals.
Realization - The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business and process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. You customize the system step by step in two work packages, Baseline and Final configuration.
Final Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to complete testing, end-user training, system management and cut over activities. Critical open issues are resolved. Upon the successful completion of this phase, you will be ready to run your business in your productive R/3 system.
Go Live and Support - Transition from a project oriented, pre-productive environment to a successful and live productive operation.
Def:The Accelarated SAP is the implementation solution provided by SAPwhich integrates several components that works in conjunction to support the rapid and efficient implementation of the PROJECT.

Need manual to implement training and event management

Hi All
I'm going to implement Training and event management for my client.Plz help me if u've any kind of manual or any guidelines for me.
Thanks,
SKM

Hi Santosh,
Best way to check the guidelines is to see help.sap.com.
From my experience you need to follow the following steps:
1. Create busness event groups
2. Create business event types
3. Create resource types
4. Create resources
5. Create external instructors (if any)
6. Create companies (if any)
7. Create locations
8. Manage integration switches (SEMIN rows in T77S0 table)
For the master data creaton activities above, you can create LSMW to make it possible for mass data upload.
After your business catalog and all other master data is in place,
1. Plan business events - PSVP
2. Create business events wth/without resources - PSV2
3. Book attendees- PSV1
As recurring activities:
1. Firmly book the events.
2. Cancel events (if needed)
3. Follow-up events.

Solution Manager 4.0 and Program Implementation

We are implementing an SAP Program over few years and intend to use SolMan 4.0. Can you please provide advice how to implement our scenario.
We have an SAP Program that consists of many projects. At the Program level we have a lot of common activities and documentation [e.g. Program Charter, Macro Blueprint (explained below) Change Management, Communication plan...]. Some of the projects have started in parallel, while others will follow,
All of the projects will share the information at the Program level.
What would be the right approach to implement such an SAP Program in SolMan?
Thank you.
In Macro Blueprint, we are looking at our business processes and links between them at a high level for several core areas (involving FI/CO, PS, HR, CRM...). After this exercise we will be doing Blueprint phases for individual projects.

Implementation process and Support Process diagrams

Hi Guys
I need the implementation and support process / Business Flow, flowcharts etc. i think i have confused you guys. what i am looking for is something like the activities divided into different sections like Client, onsite, offshore.
Please note that i am not looking for ASAP.
i am looking for activities done by the clients, onsite team and the ofshore team.
I am looking for diagrams.
Thanks in advance.

This is the land scape.
Generally we have 3 servers 1) Development server
2) Quality server
3) Production server.
Along with these servers we have Sand box in our place for trail purpose, i.e., before going to develop or testing we just develop here in our sand box and check our requirements.
(Sand box is also called as Golden data box).
ASAP METHODOLOGY:
1)Project Preparation,
2) Blue print phase,
3) Realization phase,
4) Testing phase,
5) Go live phase.
Project Preparation:
Here we do discussions about our project with client. i.e deciding that whether we go for B.W or not, that will help us or not, required it or not.
Here we do making land scape, pricing or project, bidding . Like intial things. And we do time estimation i.e for implementation generally we take 90 days.
Main things to do
1. Discussions with client providing the importance of SAP BW
2. why BW? Here we have convince the client what are the advantages if we implement BW
advantages:
A) End to End solution
In R/3 we give authorization to particular level of REPORT.
In BW we give authorization to particular level of DATA
Eg: if we have 2 plants in R/3. if 2 users use same report. So that they may change or alter the report according to their requirement where as in BW we can give authorization to particular level of data to that particular plant accordingly where as it is not possible in others.
B) Detail level of information in R/3.
Aggregate level of information in BW
C) E.R model in R/3. where as in BW it is Multi Dimensional.
3) ROI Return on Investment
4) Budget discussions.
BLUE PRINT PHASE:
Here we do ..
I. Gathering user requirements.
II. Form some documents like PI Documentation Tree.
PI measure Glossory.
III. preparing functional specs like Data Flow Diagram.
Graphical StarSchema views
ODS object Designs
IV. Approval meeting: Getting approval for functional specs
V. Kick of meeting : this is the final meeting with client about specs.
That will be at the end of work.
REALIZATION PHASE:
Here we do ..
I. we prepare technical specs based on functional specs
II. Getting approval for Technical specs.
III. Designing the objects basing on technical specs. (In development server).
IV. UNIT TESTING (i.e we do general testing like the value in R/3 side is coming to BW side is same or not etc. we use RSA3 Extract checker to check value bet. R/3 and cube)
V. Develop unit test case document.
VI. All developed unit test case documents will be send to client for approval
VII. And finally transporting all the objects to quality box
TESTING PHASE:
Here we do ..
1. Integration Testing: It takes nearly 6 months to 1 yr. depends on project
2. U A T Testing : User Acceptance Test
3. Approval
GO LIVE PHASE:
all objects will be transport to QUALITY to PRODUCTION BOX.
in R/3 system only Data sources will be transported from QUALITY to PRODUCTION
Generally all the data sources will not go live at same time. i.e., they scheduled like SD data sources in first week, MM data sources in next week, PP in next week like that depends on requirement.
If required we do Adhoc reports that means we have to generate reports basing on available data for immediate requirements.
In sand box we do testing ourselves like what will happen when we do change or add or alter the existing objects or any thing in current position. It is just like test box for our purpose only.
SAP BW CONSULTANT
In our project we have ED1 (Enterprise Development) is the developer system and 120 is the client. We have one development system, quality system and integrated planning system.
We are 3 members here in offshore and 2 members in onsite. Onsite TL do take care of preparing technical specs. We joined in the project at realization stage. (We have 5 phases in project. 1. Project preparation 2. Blue print 3. Realization 4. Testing 5. Production)Gap analysis conducted by Onsite Team. They prepare spec and send to us.
Here in offshore iam team member. As a team member my responsibility in this implementation project is installing objects from the business content. Apart from this every Tuesday we have conference call with onsite team. In conference call we discuss what the issues we faced till now are. What is the progress in the project? What will be the next week delivery? What about the previous issues? What are the new changes if any? After conference call completion I have to do Minutes draft of the call. I have to write a mail to onsite TL in which I mention the issues we discussed and To Do list from both sides.
We receive technical specs from our TL. It is completely regarding the installation of objects from business content and generating regular reports.
Finding out the cube (Ex: 0SD_C01), which we need to install, and installing the cube from BC with both data flow inwards and afterwards. This is done only once we confirmed from simulation installation so that no errors will occur while installing.
Once the cube is installed we prepare one more cube (name starts with z like ZC001), which is the copy of the same cube, which is installed just now (intention is not to disturb the BC cube).
After preparing the cube finding out the dataflow from the pictorial view in technical spec. In our spec data flows from Info Source to ODS and then into Cube to Multi Provider. Now prepare the ODS which contains the same characteristics and key figures as cube. Here we add two extra fields in key fields column of ODS that ZDATE & ZTIME. Date and time are populated with formulae. In Date column we define formulae SYS-DATUM and for time SYS-TIMLO.
Creating update rules for ODS we define that ODS gets data from info source as per spec.
No. of update rules depends on no. of info sources from which ODS gets data.
After ODS create update rules for cube saying that cube get data from ODS.
Next create multi provider as per spec. Even though we have only one cube we created multi provider because we want to extend it in future. Multi provider contains all the characteristics and key figures of cube for the time being. This is all as per our spec.
Assigning data source to Info source and activating Transfer rules.
Next creating Info Packages for full, init and delta loads.
Next creating process chains. To create PC we follow this procedure:
Select the cube to which data must be loaded. Go to Context menu (right click) of the cube . Select Info Source overview. It will show what data is flowing into the cube and from which info source.
Check out whether all the info sources are assigned with data sources if not assign it. Check out whether all info packages are created or nor if not create it.
Start creating process chains. In our process chain we have Meta chains (a chain in another chain). We have 4 process chains. One for master data (attribute) another for text and one for hierarchy and another for transaction data.
In Master data PC collect all the info packages for master data loading and at the end add attribute change run, this chain will run daily. (0MATERIAL, 0SALESORG)
In Text PC collect all the info packages for text one by one. This will run daily. (0MATERIAL, 0SALESORG, 0DIVISION, 0VERSION, 0VTYPE)
In Hierarchy PC collect the info packages for hierarchies. This will run daily. (0MATERIAL).
In Transaction data collect all the info packages with full load (temporary only). This also runs daily. (2LIS_01_S001)

Patches and pre-task to upgrade from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3

I have a few questions regarding to pre-required patches and pre-tasks in order to upgrade from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3.
Currently, the system is on 12.1.1 and pre-required patch, 9039089 which is for R12.AD.B.delta.3 code level.
But, when I checked the document, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Readme [ID 1080973.1]...
Q1.
contents deleted.
However, the document 761570.1 is about the necessary steps of upgrade from 11i to 12.1.3.
Is this necessary/applicable still for my case as well?
Q2.
content deleted.
However, R12.1.1 already comes with 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 for the application server.
Is it needed to have these AS10g patches still in this case?
Q3.
In short, what patches/steps are needed when I upgrade from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 after all...? Followings are the ones I identified.
9239089
9239090
9239095
9817770
9966055
So, is it sufficient to apply 9239089 for R12.AD.B.delta.3 code level, and continue with 9239090 (12.1.3 pack patch)?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Please follow note 1080973.1 and perform all patching on the forms, web and database tiers. There are a number of patches to apply to meet the requirements to upgrade.
Please follow R12.1 Oracle Financials Critical Patches note 954704.1 for post install critical patches on top of 12.1.3.
You will also need to follow support note HRMS (HR Global) Legislative Data Patch 145837.1 if implemented.
If you use Patch Wizard then you will need to apply patch 10629956. Please review New Required Patches for Patch Wizard, Patch Manager, and Oracle Application Change Management Pack note 1267768.1.
For best results and all steps recommended by support, please download the Maintenance Wizard tool. This tool will automate most of the upgrade steps and guide you step by step, only applying patches that are required for your installation.

PL/SQL and Java implementation

Hi all,
We need to implement a fast solution for reporting to our existing web application. Application is totally based on stored procedures written in PL/SQL.
We have already java classes for drawing different types of charts
named Chartdirector (http://www.advsofteng.com/)
This library can create chart images in memory.
I have already read about calling java classes from PL/SQL and SQLJ too.
My questions are;
1. Is this safe to include classes to database and create
reports by using loadjava in real life. I mean not in theory, in real life?
2. Is there any experiments of the audience about this method?
3. Would it be any performance problems about this?
4. Should i prefer to use any Java container and jsps instead of this method?
I will continue to research for necessary steps after i could see the light :)
Thank you to all,
Regards,
Gokhan

> 1. Is this safe to include classes to database and create
reports by using loadjava in real life. I mean not in theory, in real life?
Yes.
> 2. Is there any experiments of the audience about this method?
Experiments and actual implementation - yes. It works. Granted, it does not always work as easy as running the Java code from the command line. But it does work.
> 3. Would it be any performance problems about this?
This is a potential problem with any software code.
4. Should i prefer to use any Java container and jsps instead of this method?
To be honest, I prefer not using Java for web graphics as I'm not impressed with the quality and flexibility of the graphs generated. I prefer using (and paying for commercial use) for the JPGraph classes for PHP - and using that from PL/SQL (via Zend Core for Oracle).
Another option is to use SVG and generated SVG directly from PL/SQL. But this requires a browser plugin and SVG also does not look that great. (this is btw what Oracle's HTMLDB does and uses)

Should I use Standard C++ Containers and Stuff for games and other real time activities?

Hello,
I'm a C++ developer using VS 2012 and VS 2010 for developing AAA titles. I have read about not using STL and other stuff provided in the standard headers that come with VS. I read most of the stuff on the websites based on game programming and some
are really from the people well known in the industry. I have seen cases where they wont even use vector, list, map and others and not even use utility functions and algorithms. In such cases they write those containers and stuff themselves which has almost
the same interface and so much of debug and implementation time spent on such huge code.
I have two questions:
1: Isn't the C++ implementation that comes with VS optimized for the platform for better performance? Isn't it using some intrinsic functions that people on the client end doesn't know about and supplying their own implementation would indeed be
more slower in basic container operations such as insert, remove, find, swap, copy? Lets assume that we supply our own custom allocators for faster memory management to every container that we use. Also, they take care of fragmentation, alignment and stuff.
Why develop custom containers with almost same interface, why not spend that time on writing allocators and other stuff that might actually help?
2: There are times when we include a lot, a lot, of unnecessary stuff through the standard headers in a huge code base. Unnecessary, because we only needed a thing or two from such huge headers including other huge headers and so on. Now, I know templates
aren't instantiated unless used, same goes for the members functions inside them and blah blah. Since, these are precompiled headers, it is safe to assume that there is no compile time hit for that unnecessary stuff. My question is, is there any hidden effect
of such inclusions on code size (executable) that grows with the huge growth of the code base? In my opinion there shouldn't be, but I wanna know I'm not mistaken just in case.

Hi
I can tell you a story about one of our projects. We had to implement a block management system for harddisks (like the parts of file systems that allocate, free blocks and do the bookkeeping stuff). Now, one guy was convinced, that we should use the STL,
because it's easy to use and very well optimized and things like that. An other one said, that he would implement it by hand. So we decided to do both for a little test. The result was, that the hand implemented thing was much easier to write and much faster...
and the one using STL saw, that some classes were so slow, that he couldn't believe it... he then tryed to build some classes by hand and exchange them (e.g. array classes and stuff like that) and it was way faster than the STL and he wrote them in minutes
(!)... since then nobody wanted to use STL again... we don't even try it. It ended that we wrote our own string and array classes and stuff like that... easy little things that we understand. Now it's easy to use and fast and still flexible, because we know
what it's doing...
... but, that's just a story about our development and of course, we're often programming very close to the hardware and also using assembler languages often... so, I don't know what this tells us... you have to decide :-)

How to successfully implement 0CA_IS_TS_1 and 0CA_TS_IS_2

I found this post: Since I had many issues with these extractors and there have been many posts out there in regards to issues with them; here is a quick how-to with SDN using 3.5 and ECC 5.0 (if you are on an earlier version of R/3, then there may be specific notes that you may need to apply, but there are many posts on them) First you need to decide what the need at your client is for these CATS Time Sheet extractors are. Do you need both or are you really just interested in approved entries/changed on approval entries? At my client, it was just approved entries and I will speak mainly to that extractor (0CA_TS_IS_1). The biggest problem that I see people having is that after this extractor is activated, etc...RSA3 is not returning all of the 30/50 entries that exist in the CATSDB table. Well, the biggest thing you need to concentrate on here is the reporting time types. This is configuration that is done within the R/3 environment within the IMG (tranx SPRO, then click on IMG). Within here click on the following path: Integration with Other SAP Components -> Data Transfer to the SAP Business Information Warehouse -> Settings for Application-Specific DataSources (PI) -> Human Resources -> Actual Employee Times OHR_PT_02 -> Define Reporting Time Types. Within this section you will be a little overwhelmed and may need some HR functional team help. You are mainly going to want to concentrate on 'Maintain Reporting Time Types section'. When entering here, you will have the option (be many standard SAP default entries) to add your own Absence/Attendance and or Wage types. You can find the different types within table T554S. This is where you have to define each of the absence/attendance types and/or the wage types for them to successfully extract in the extractor. Please see functional team for help here. After this is done, test the RSA3 extractor again and it should pull all the records that you are concerned about from the CATSDB table. After this is done, you probably are interested in pulling extra fields such as AWART or others in the CATSDB table. Here you are to use the delivered BADI definition CATSBW_CUST_ISOURCE. SAP delivers a SAP implementation of this definition called SAP_DEFAULT, which you should make inactive and create your own version in order to change the underlying methods of the BADI. Within the interface tab of the active implementation that you just created, you will be interested in 3 of them (SET_OFFSET, POSTPROCESSING & DETERMINE_GRBIW); there are others but these are the ones that I saw change was needed. In the offset one, change this to 0; I feel this is the best and most successful one. In Postprocessing is where you put your code to populate your appended fields (you can code just like cmod but it is simpler and you don't have to use those loops for E_T_DATA). In the Determine_GRBIW, I removed the code of return value of 01 because I did not want to restrict this. This ties back to the first column of the reporting time types that you just defined. After you activate this, unhide necessary fields in the structure and rerun in RSA3. You should be ok with everything and can bring over into BW. How this extractor works is it reads a table called cats_bw_time and it looks at this to find approved records that have been cancelled recently and creates 60 entries (with negative 30 entry amounts for that same counter entry of the original 30); so when it comes over to BW, the cube does will negate each other out since processing status and counter are not part of the cube. This is a very quick summary but everyone should be able to find a solution from here. Please contact me if you have further questions via this thread.
 
But when I try to make the changes described it says it is a "core mod". My main issue is that not every record is coming over when I extract. It seems like random records are coming over. For a particluar date I expected 20 records...but only 2 came over.
 
Has anyone else had trouble with this? I am also on ECC 6.0.

Hi,
I hope someone can help,
It seems that a Full load only brings in records with a status of 30
A delta load, however brings in status 60 records with a negative quantity.
This leads to inconsistent data.
So for example, if there are 2 records in CATSDB for a person for a date, one has status 30, and a quantity of 8
and there is another record with status 60 and quantity of 8
If I do a full load, i get a quantity of 8 (the status 30 records)
However, if there was one record already in BW for that person and for that date and a delta is loaded containing the same employee, i get a reversed quantity (-8) so the total in BW is now 0.
Is this correct?
It seems a full load, which gives a quantity of 8 is correct or is the total of 0 correct?

How can I make an Excel Sheet where I can tally my daily activities and make a graph of it?

I want a simple excel sheet where in the columns I can have dates and in the rows I can have my activities and in the spaces between I can put a number like 1 or 2 or 5 indicating the number of hours spent that day on that activity. Finally, I would
want to be able to, using the hours data for the entire month for each activity, be able to create a pie chart breaking down how much time I spent on each activity.
The issue is I do not know to rename rows and columns and I do not know how to format it all to ensure I can make a pie chart at the end comparing all of my activities.
Any help would be appreciated.
