How To Change Key Figure Name

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to change the name of a Key Figure in Demand Planning? For example, in DP, i have a Key Figure name 'Sales Forecast'. The 'Sales Forecast' currently appears in every Planning book it was set.
Now, for alignment of understanding, I need to change the name from 'Sales Forecast' to 'Sales Demand' . Basically, i just need to change the text that appear in the Planning book and in the extracted BI reports.
Logic of Key Figure will remain the same. Is this possible? How do I go about this? I only know of how to add a Key Figure but never thought of how to change the Key Figure name/description.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can change it in 2 ways.
1] Go to each Planning Book in Edit mode.
    In that go to a Tab called Key Figure Attributes.
    Select your Sales Forecast Key figure from the dropdown   against Key Figure.
   Then in Description click the radio button Free Text and give your new name which is Sales Demand.
This you have to do for all the PB in which this KF is used.
2] Go to RSA1 : Admin Workbench
Under Modeling section go to InfoObject.
Select your KF. Double Click on it. Or right click and go to Change mode.
Then change the Long and Short Description of the KF as desired.
Save & Activate the KF.
This will change your KF description for all the PB in which you have used the same PA.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Pushkar

How to filter Key Figures - not using the GUIDs

An example How to filter Key Figures may look like this:
http://XXX.com:8000/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=DE&bsplanguage=DE&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=XXX&FILTER_IOBJNM=41F68RV4ZB5VYSARODYU70CAQ&FILTER_VALUE=41F68SAI18DB01DO023IR49QA
The GUIDs consume the space in the URl. Is there a way to work with an alias.
To use the technical name of a Key Figure defined in the Query does not work.

Hi Cherie,
This is exactly the type of problem that I'm currently trying to figure out. I'm trying to following your solution but I'm not clear on how you actually achieved this in you last note. I want to dynamically select actuals/budget column fields based on what period I enter. I thought about creating 12 separate RKF fields for actuals and 12 separate RKF fields for the budget reforecast and outputting these all and then doing some VBA to hide the fields not required based on which period was selected... how is your variable ZFYAPER7 defined and calculated?
Cheers

Hello Gopi Anne ,
                             You can use the following FM / BAPI :
BAPI_USER_CHANGE
MY_BAPI_USER_CHANGE
For BAPI_USER_CHANGE :
You need to make use of the IMPORT parameter :
ALIAS     TYPE     BAPIALIAS                               User Name Alias
ALIASX     LIKE     BAPIALIASX                               User alias change flag

Hudson
I need to deploy two instances of my ADF application on the same development enviroment. We are using Hudson to deploy. My question is how to change data source name and application context root before second deployment.
Kuba

I don't believe there is an inbuilt facility to do this.
Previously how I've done this is when checking files out using Hudson jovs, before the build I then use an Ant extension called XmlTask (http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/) to modify the required XML files.
Can I ask why you're doing this in the first place please? Multi-tenancy? 2 versions of the same app?

How to change ASE server name in windows

how to change the server name in Adaptive server enterprise running on windows

Windows is going to require a few more steps if ASE is running as a service.
Update all registry entries containing <servername> with <newservername>:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\SYBASE\Server
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SYBSQL_<servername>[ _BS | _XP ]
NOTE: Doing a registry search on <servername> will bring up a ton of other locations, eg, legacy entries, ControlSet00X, etc ... not sure if all of these have to be changed, too ...
NOTE: Haven't installed any of the latest ASE packages in windows so don't know if SAP's gone an changed the HKLM\SOFTWARE sub-branch name from SYBASE to SAP
=========================
In addition to Ryan's notes:
- any other sysservers entries that refer to the old servername (eg, loopback)
- any remote servers would need to update their external/remote logins, remote servers and/or proxy definitions ... as appropriate
- if the ASE is involved in replication then you're looking at whole 'nother can of worms ... off the top of my head ... rs_databases, rs_idnames, rs_repdbs ... and of course any repdefs/subs that include the ASE name ?
- obviously (?) any monitoring/maintenance/operational jobs ... documentation ...

How to Change Journal Header name to Custom Header Name while GL Importing?

Hello Experts,
I am in situation where customer wanted to keep their own journal header naming conventions to imported journals in Oracle GL for custom Journal sources.
As I know while importing journals, Oracle Creates the Journal Name based on the below mentioned logic.
"Journal Import creates a default journal entry name using the following format:
(Optional User-Entered REFERENCE4)(Category Name)(Currency)
(Currency Conversion Type, if applicable)
(Currency Conversion Rate, if applicable)
(Currency Conversion Date, if applicable) (Encumbrance Type ID, if applicable)
(Budget VersionID, if applicable). If you enter a journal entry name,
Journal Import prepends the first 25 characters of your journal entry name to
the above format"
But then How it is possible to only allow journal header Name to be used present in REFERENCE4 excluding all other string provided by Oracle? Instead of using omitted string custmoer wanted to keep their own parameters. Example - REFERENCE4.A.B.C etc.
Is it possible to solve this using seeded setup or modifying some hook packages or anything else?
As far as I know there can be one workaround to be use of updating journal header name after journal import being completed successfully for custom journal source. But only fear is Oracle doesnt allow updating the base table without API. Am I rght?
So it would be really great if anyone of you can suggest the best solution or best possible workaround.
Thanks

How to find key figures not created in a Structure.

After using Where Used on a selection variable Z_FISCPER3_M_SV a list of Key Figures appear. I wish to amended these Key Figures as the selection variable used is incorrect. However, I cannot find these Key Figures in the Structure? Does anyone know how to find Key Figures not created in a Structure.

Thanks for such a quick response.
I am assuming the following about the table :
-     Column u201CCALDAYu201D contains a date value for each day the Index is active.
-     Column u201CBIA_USEDu201D contains a value that is iterated for the given day each time the Index is used.
-     Column u201CBIA_NOTPOSSIBLEu201D contains a value representing how many times a query could not access this Index.
-     Column u201CNO_BIAu201D tells if a BWA Index exists at all on any of my BWA Blades
-     Column u201CBIA_TECHINAu201D ????????
-     Column u201CBIA_INAu201D ???????
-     Column u201CDB_FALLBACKu201D ???????
I am not sure if my understanding of the column is correct. Can you tell me they are? The columns with u201C???????u201D mean I have no solid understanding of how to use these columns at all.
Thanks

How to change the "short name (account name?)" and home directory name?

Hi,
I recently purchased a new iMac and migrated account info from my MacBook Pro. I happened to use random account name during migration without knowing it will not be easy to change the short name (account name?) and home directory name. As a result, I am now having extremely confusing short name and home directory name on my new iMac.
I did online search to find out how to change the two names, but I could only found somethig like "enabiling root user and....." I have no idea what it was talking about and I don't want to take risk altering such advance set up manually.
Please advice how I can change the short name and home directory name safely without much PC knowledge.
Thank you very much in advance.

There are a few ways of doing this. The easiest method is logging into the first account and copying everything to an external drive (or flash drive or whatever), which changes the permissions so that others can see the files.
Then, login with the new account and copy the files over. Once they are copied, the correct permissions will be applied again (so other people on your computer can't access them).
If you can't do this method for one reason or other, you can do some terminal commands to change the ownership of the files. Login to the new account. If it is an admin account, open terminal and type the following command:
sudo chown -R -v yourusername:admin /Users/originalaccountnamehere
That should change the ownership of the files from your old account to the new one. At that point, you can simply drag the files into place.
