Help on Business Function "Reporting Financials 2" and its impact

Hi All,
I am looking at 'SAP Help' for Reporting Financials 2 (EhP4).
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/6a/cd7dbd74694af3ac13b3c24a10def4/frameset.htm
basically I want to use the standard extractor 0FI_AA_20 FI-AA: Transactions and Depreciation . when i try to run the extractor i get an error saying: Business Function "Reporting Financials 2" is not switched on
In order to use the new data sources the pre requisites are:
1. SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0
2. Activated the Reporting Financials 2 business function.
The EnP4 is already implemented what i have do next is to activate the business function.
Can any one help me with more details on what all gets activated with this business function 'Reporting Financials 2' and its impact.
With Best Regards
Shilpa.

Hi,
in SFW5 you can get an overview over the business functions. There you could activate the appropriate Business Function.
But I would recommend you strongly before to read some information and documentation about business functions and the enhancement package concept.
Regards,
Markus

Help needed on "Archiving in R/3 and its impact"

Hi All,
I will be pleased if Any one who can guide me or send me a document on "Archiving in R/3 and its impact"
Thanks in advance.

i don't remember such a document ...
some extractors like lo cockpit 11 and 13 can extract data from archive, but most of the extractors can't.
the workaround is, to reload the data from archive in a new r3 table and build an generic extractor on it. then you can load the data to bw. after that you can refresh the table.
i also heard of direct loading from archive, but i never tried.

Real time business functionality using SAP Xi and hardware included????

Hi All,
I am quite new to sap-xi. i have practised some of the scenarios that can be done with xi.
I was just trying to visualise some of the real time business requirements where SAP XI is used.
For example
Some may have used Sap XI to transform data between file server and SAP system or may a web serve asking for details from sap system to display datas or some times sap xi systems sits betweem an integration server (like biztalk etc) and sap system.
Can anyone of you can give me some of the real time requirements you have dealt with over the years
in terms of business functionality and servers involved in the whole system?
Thanks
Rakesh

Transporting a business function: lock out users and suspend batch?

Hi gurus,
SAP advises in help.sap.com to lock out all users and suspend batch jobs before activating a business function in development. I did that in development, activated the business function, and saved it to a transport. Does the same recommendation to lock out users and suspend batch jobs hold true in the QA and Production systems when the transport is moved in? ... or is it ok to transport it during a time when there is user and batch activity going on?
Warm Regards,
CM

You do have to lock out users and suspend batch, even using a transport. There is a pdf called
SAP Enhancement Packages Selecting and Activating Business Functions, In it, it says to lock out users and stop batch activity in all systems,

Help on CAST function, defining TYPE TABLE and using a REF cursor

Hi,
I have written a procedure (lookup) inside a package (lookup_pkg) as shown below.
Procedure has an output variable of type PL/SQL TABLE which is defined in the package.
I want to write a wrapper procedure lookupref to the procedure lookup to return a ref cursor.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE lookup_pkg AS
TYPE t_lookup_refcur IS REF CURSOR;
CURSOR c_lookup IS
     Select columns1,2,3,....100
               FROM A, B, C, D, E
               WHERE ROWNUM < 1;
TYPE t_lookup IS TABLE OF c_lookup%ROWTYPE;
Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup);
End lookup_pkg;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY lookup_pkg As
Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup) IS
BEGIN
END lookup;
Procedure lookupref(id Number, o_lookupref OUT t_lookup_refcur) IS
o_lookup t_lookup;
BEGIN
lookup(id, o_lookup t_lookup);
OPEN t_lookup_refcur FOR
SELECT *
     FROM TABLE(CAST(o_lookup AS t_lookup));
Exception
End lookupref;
END lookup_pkg;
When I compile this procedure, I am getting invalid datatype Oracle error and
cursor points the datatype t_lookup in the CAST function.
1. Can anyone tell me what is wrong in this. Can I convert a PL/SQL collection (pl/sql table in this case) to PL/SQL datatype table or does it need to be a SQL datatype only (which is created as a type in database).
Also, to resolve this error, I have created a SQL type and table type instead of PL/SQL table in the package as shown below.
create or replace type t_lookuprec as object
               (Select columns1,2,3,....100
               FROM A, B, C, D, E
               WHERE ROWNUM < 1);
create or replace type t_lookup_tab AS table of t_lookuprec;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY lookup_pkg As
Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup) IS
BEGIN
END lookup;
Procedure lookupref(id Number, o_lookupref OUT t_lookup_refcur) IS
o_lookup t_lookup;
BEGIN
lookup(id, o_lookup t_lookup);
OPEN t_lookup_refcur FOR
SELECT *
     FROM TABLE(CAST(o_lookup AS t_lookup_tab));
Exception
End lookupref;
END lookup_pkg;
When I compile this package, I am getting "PL/SQL: ORA-22800: invalid user-defined type" Oracle error and
points the datatype t_lookup_tab in the CAST function.
2. Can anyone tell me what is wrong. Can I create a type with a select statement and create a table type using type created earlier?
I have checked the all_types view and found that
value for Incomplete column for these two types are YES.
3. What does that mean?
Any suggestions and help is appreciated.
Thanks
Srinivas

create or replace type t_lookuprec as object
(Select columns1,2,3,....100
FROM A, B, C, D, E
WHERE ROWNUM < 1);You are correct that you need to use CREATE TYPE to use the type in SQL.
However unless I am mistaken you appear to have invented your own syntax for CREATE TYPE, suggest you refer to Oracle documentation.

Help regarding SGOSDS function group (attaching Notes and all)

Hi All,
we have a requirement where in BSP page we have to attach Notes and also some URLs to one particualr service ticket at the time of creation of that service ticket in BSP.
now user again wants to look at that created note and attached URLs.
In R/3 to do this there are function modules in function group SGOSDS.
is there any way to use the same functionality to attach and display these Notes and URL.
Thanks in Advance,
Vithal

Hi,
Any existant FM can be called from the BSP via the system itself or if you want to do this via RFC (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw31/helpdata/en/22/042537488911d189490000e829fbbd/frameset.htm for this).
You have to create the screens on your own though.

Help! Business Area/Report

Hi all,
I am wondering if it is possible to create this scenerio:
To have 1 business area with Object A
To have one report with object A available to end user
To have another report with object A hidden to end user
I know this is possible to do by having two business areas, and am familiar with cloning but am trying to keep business areas organized. Is this possible?

Add an extra where clause :
select * from objects
where object_id in (<some subquery that indicates which objects user can see>)
Or you can use virtual private database:

Shortened Fiscal Year and its impact on BI back end and Bex reports

Hi All,
Our client is making some changes to the fiscal year period.
Becuase of some business requirements, we will have to shortened the fiscal year.
Can you please suggest - what are the watch points when we do this?
- what will be the impact to BI back end and Bex reports?
Thanks,
Nisha

Hello Nisha,
Since the fiscal year (Infobjects - 0FISCYEAR and/ 0FISCPER3) is compounded with fiscal year variant, therefore maintaining the correct variant in BI will automatically take care of showing the data correctly.
So there are two things to be maintained in BI:
1) To see that the variant definition.
2) If you need to display the text of the fiscal periods, then the correct texts.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Shweta

Please help.... New MBP and its a disaster

I bought a MBP i5 4GB in December thinking that it would be a high performance machine, I would at least expect it to do the basics in a reasonable amount of time. Trying to play a youtube video today in Safari and it stalled more than 10 times even though the video is fully downloaded, DSL is 15MB line connected over 802.11N with a perfect signal. MBP is generally slow stalling between applications, hanging.
Ive had a mac mini for about 3 years now and never had any problems with it. Ive been using Windows for about 18 years and really like it but can get a bit boring when you know it inside out.
With Windows, if you fill the partition which Windows is located on to 80% or even 90% of its capacity it will not impact on performance. I have read that filling the Mac drive/partition can have a serious impact on performance, is this true?
Im so disappointed with the performance of my MBP, im ready to smash it to pieces. In an effort to gain the performance im looking for from it, im swapping out the stock hdd for a Crucial RealSSD C300. If this doesn't solve the problem, it goodbye MBP, hello "half the price, twice the performance" machine. Is anyone else having these problems from their MBP? Any suggestions as to how I can improve the performance?
The MBP feels very basic, with no biometric scanner, no eSata and it weighs a tonne. Im sure ive missed a number of features which are standard on the majority of Laptops these days. Another thing im missing a lot from Windows is the ability to call up a Run Prompt (Windows R) type in a command/program (intl.cpl, compmgmt.msc, mstsc, c:\program files\...., \\192.168.1....,cmd, control, etc). I have since come across (Mac Space) for spotlight but I dont think its as easy to have a guaranteed match every time, maybe I just need to get to know what to type to ensure the top hit is exactly what im looking for. I also recently discovered Mac Down/up to move through folders as suprisingly Enter does not open a folder, no it renames it... I think this is an example of Apple trying to do things differently to Microsoft just purely for the sake of being different but failed to consider convenience/efficiency. Its a question of one key or two to do the same task.
The one thing which annoys me the most, is that after numerous revisions of the Mac OS, there is still no cut and paste. Apple's reason being that there is a risk of losing files because if you cut a file then it might be gone if you forget to paste it... Maybe someone needs to break it down for Apple what we mean by Cut, its:
1. Mark for move
2. Copy the file/folder to the location where it has been pasted
3. On completion of the copy, delete the original file/folder
You can drag an item to a new location, presumably because theres no risk of you forgetting to paste it and it becoming lost but you can't ctrl x and ctrl v (Command X and Command V (Just to be different)) in case you forget to paste. MS have had Cut and Paste since the very first GUI and theres no problem with it. I know theres a number of ways of hacking the OS to get this functionality but it should be standard or at least optional.
Im also really missing Windows E for Windows Explorer, why Apple did not just use Mac F for finder and Ctrl F for find within an application??? I suppose it was just another case of wanting to be different and screw convenience/efficiency. The closest thing ive found is (fn ctrl F3) but its not guaranteed to always launch Finder, I guess the only option is to hack the OS again like before to get the move functionality.
Another question someone may be able to answer...
In IE if I type Apple in the address bar then press *Ctrl Enter*, it completes the address to http://www.apple.com . If I try the same in Safari replacing ctrl with Command it does complete the address but in a new tab. Actually, ctrl enter seems to complete most addresses but it seems like theres a web search in the middle? Will it always just add http://www. .com to the contents of the address bar? or is it searching for a closest match?
I was running a Windows 7 VM through Parallels but I gave up on it because of the poor performance, the MBP is so bad its unusable... I have an old Dell Latitude D600 (Dinosaur) which performs better than the MBP.
/Rant

This is how I feel when I use my Mac:
http://cultofmac.cultofmaccom.netdna-cdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/1 0/Slow-Computer-Collage1.jpg
Well today the MBP just gets even better, it was sleeping and I opened it up to do some work when I was greeted with a notice You need to restart, please hold down the power button..... i.e. Anything you were working on has just been lost. There must be something wrong with this machine?
Are these events from Console anything to be concerned about?

*• If a fully downloaded video playing in Safari is stalling, what would the DSL speed and 802.11g signal have to do with it, since it has been fully downloaded? Have you considered playing videos in a dedicated video player such as VLC (or even iTunes)?*
Video content on youtube is flash based, I dont think VLC or iTunes is capable of playing flash content, this is something I expect of any browser (with a flash plugin of course). The reason I mentioned the speed of the DSL and wireless signal was just in case some Johnny know it all came along and tried to say that maybe that was the issue. Flash video content fails to play smoothly if I wait for it to finish downloading or if I try to play it without waiting. I wouldn't be surprised if someone tries to make out that the problem is Adobe's flash plugin rather than Apple's Browser/OS/Hardware even though the plugins work without issue on a number of operating systems in different browsers. It was 802.11N btw, not 802.11g.
*• Where did you read that a filled Mac partition can have a serious impact on performance? Did that source give any further information, such as how full the partition need be to affect performance — 80%? 90%? 95%? 99.44%?*
http://guides.macrumors.com/EnhancingPerformance_of_yourMac
http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/Mac-Performance-Tips-Keep-Plenty-Of-Fre e-Disk-Space.htm
http://www.cultofmac.com/why-is-my-mac-running-so-slow-macrx/62124
It seems as though all of these articles are referring to the drive being in a state where there is not enough space for the swap file and temporary files generated by the OS which I would expect to cause a problem. It was more when I was looking into the use of a SSD in the Mac that I was coming across information to indicate that the Mac may slow down by adding more files to it, this could be plausible through indexing or something else. From your experience of Macs, do you think this is the case?
*• What sort of performance are you looking to improve? You’d mentioned video playback; in which other areas would you like to see performance improvements?*
Switching between applications, opening applications, selecting a different tab within a browser, etc..
An example of slowness, when opening this page (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=676966) in the fourth tab of Safari it took more than 3 minutes to open.
*• If you were unhappy with the lack of a biometric scanner or eSATA, why did you buy the MacBook Pro? The MacBook Pro technical specification page on the Apple website clearly shows the 15″ MacBook Pro as weighing 2.54 kg; if that “tonnage” is too heavy a burden, again, why did you buy it?*
I can read the technical specifications. I bought the machine purely for no nonsense performance which it is failing to deliver. My point is that these are standard issue on the majority of laptops these days and for the price point that the MBP is at, I think its poor that it does not have these features. More money for less tech. I could accept the absence of these items if the machine was fast at the basics but it is not.
*• Apple has had its own set of keyboard shortcuts for many years. Try searching for "mac os x" keyboard shortcuts at your favourite search site to discover equivalents to your preferred Windows shortcuts. One can even customise the shortcuts by opening System Preferences and selecting Keyboard, then Keyboard Shortcuts.*
There is no direct key combination to open Finder by default in OS X. The only way to do it without third party tools that I have come across is:
There actually is a way to do this without 3rd party software. See below
I. Create a service
1) Open "Automator" - (Search for it in spotlight if you don't know where it is)
2) Double-Click on the "Service" button to create a new Service.
3) From the "Library" menu on the left hand side, click "Utilities"
4) From the list of Utilities, double-click "Run AppleScript"
5) In the main area, there should be a window that says "Run AppleScript". Above it, choose "No Input" next to "Service receives selected"
6) In the "Run AppleScript" window, replace (* Your script goes here *) with tell application "Finder" to activate
7) Click File --> Save As... and save it as "Finder Activation"
II. Create a Keyboard shortcut for the service
1) Open system preferences
2) Click "Keyboard"
3) Select "Services" from the left hand pane
4) In the right hand pane, Scroll down to the bottom. Under "General", there should be "Finder Activation".
5) Ensure "Finder Activation" is checked
6) Assign a Keyboard shortcut by clicking near the right side of the "Finder Activation" selection. The trick is to assign a shortcut that is not used by any of your favorite applications, since application-level keyboard shortcuts will override this.
Seems like a lot of hassle just to get a keyboard shortcut to open the default file browser.
*• If someone who was accustomed to using OS X chose to buy a Windows computer, would it be equally valid for that person to note that Microsoft chose to do things differently in Windows purely for the sake of being different from Apple, and that Microsoft had failed to consider convenience/efficiency for a person who was accustomed to OS X?*
Efficiency is not a matter of opinion, its a matter of fact. If it takes more keys/actions (ultimately time) to perform the same task in OSX than it does in another operating system, that makes OSX less efficient.
Take for example my last point of opening Finder:
The most efficient way I have found so far is to press *fn control F3* then press Enter
An alternative is to press *Command Tab* until you get to Finder, then press *command N*
In Windows, its just simply *Windows E*
When I say Apple is doing things for the sake of being different, Microsoft puts its minimise, maximise/restore and close buttons on the top right of its windows, Apple puts their Close, Minimize and maximize buttons on the top left of their windows. Ctrl C, Ctrl X, Ctrl V..... Command C, Command X, Command V. To be honest you may be right, im only seeing things from one perspective, someone coming from Mac to Microsoft may feel the same way.

Help needed in index creation and its impact on insertion of records

Hi All,
I have a situation like this, and the process involves 4 tables.
Among the 4 tables, 2 tables have around 30 columns each, and the other 2 has 15 columns each.
This process contains validation and insert procedure.
I have already created some 8 index for one table, and an average of around 3 index on other tables.
Now the situation is like, i have a select statement in validation procedure, which involves select statement based on all the 4 tables.
When i try to run that select statement, it takes around 30 secs, and when checked for plan, it takes around 21k memory.
Now, i am in a situation to create new index for all the table for the purpose of this select statement.
The no.of times this select statement executes, is like, for around 1000 times of insert into table, 200 times this select statement gets executed, and the record count of these tables would be around one crore.
Will the no.of index created in a table impacts insert statement performace, or can we create as many index as we want in a table ? Which is the best practise ?
Please guide me in this !!!

Hi,
index creation will most definitely impact your DML performance because when inserting into the table you'll have to update index entries as well. Typically it's a small overhead that is acceptable in most situations, but the only way to say definitively whether or not it is acceptable to you is by testing. Set up some tests, measure performance of some typical selects, updates and inserts with and without an index, and you will have some data to base your decision on.
Best regards,
Nikolay
