How to decide that an aggregate is required?

I am currently using an infocube for reporting, I have seen that system has suggested an aggregate for that infocube, I want to know the scnarioes based on which, I can decide that my infocube actually needs the aggregate? Is there any thing I can check at the time/after query exection which I can take as performance measure of my query?

HEllo,
When the query is executed, it is clear to the user whether data is being read from an aggregate, a BI accelerator index, or an InfoCube.
In the maintenance transaction, you can deactivate one or more aggregates on a temporary basis to test them for performance purposes or to analyze data consistency.
You can also execute the relevant query in the query monitor (transaction RSRT) using a corresponding debug option: Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Execute + Debug. In the Debug Options dialog box, choose Do Not Use Aggregates to execute the query with an InfoCube...
Check this URl: http://www.scribd.com/doc/7477854/SAP-BW-Query-Performance-Tuning-With-Aggregates

How to decide the no.of models required for our application implemention

Hi ,
i ahve one basic quetion in WD development.
how to decide the no.of models (aRFC ,EJB..etc ) required or needed to get the functionality of our application ?
for Ex:
my application consisits of belwo functionalities.
1. serach for the country
2.display the bank lis for the above country
3.display the bank details of the selected bank in the step no.2
any one of you explain me how to decide the no.of models required for avoe functionalities .
or is it in a single model we can include the all the above functionalities ?
Regards,
Govindu

Hi
It all depends on application to application and requirements better to consult with functional guys or team lead what exectly they want to implement .All could be possible with RFC or EJB , some alternatives are
1. serach for the country : For this standard java API is there which populate all country (no need any rfc or ejb)
2.display the bank lis for the above country : (Check if there any webservices for this or create manually value help for this , even if u will use the RFC abaper guys will do the same )
3.display the bank details of the selected bank in the step no : step 2 will solve this also with one additional field i.e address and details.
I hope you agree with the point that stand alone WD app can do these all thing without any model.

HOW TO DECIDE IN A REPORT WHICH TABLE SHOULD LOOP FIRST?
Moderator message: please search for available information/documentation before asking, do not post in all upper case, these forums are not a substitute for ABAP training.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Dec 6, 2010 12:00 PM

Hi,
It is suggested to loop at the header table and then read the item table. Where in if you have multiple entries in the item table that matches, use the parallel cursors concept (Loop from index) as shown below
Loop at header....
Read table item with key......
If sy-subrc EQ 0.
Loop at item from sy-tabix.
-- Perform your processing.
endloop.
endif.
endloop.
Also make sure if you have duplicate entries in your internal tables, Use SORT and then DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES so that it avoids the performance issues as well
Hope this helps you.

What is the difference between action and workflow? How do I decide that I need an action in a transaction and not a workflow and vice versa?

Dear Experts,
I have few doubts and request your expert inputs to clarify my doubts.
What is the difference between action and workflow? How do I decide that I need an action in a transaction and not a workflow and vice versa?
Your earliest response is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
SMTP

Hi SMTP,
First of all, as I mentioned action is nothing but an executable work item which is designed in the workflow itself. In other words, Workflow is like your OOPS class. At run time, workflow instances are created just like objects of classes. Now, the steps designed in the workflow are called TASKS and the instances of tasks are called WORKITEMS. Now, the work items where any user action is required are called executable work items. ANd the work items where no user action is required (for example, sending an email in background) are called non-executable work items.
Whether to go with development of workflow or not depends upon your business scenario. If your requirement is only to send an email and you find any BAdi or exit where in you can write your logic then there is no need of creating a workflow. If there is a defined business process with defined users and time lines, then you can go with the development of workflows.
Rest, the below link will help you in understanding basic concepts of workflow :

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion..

How to decide no.Technical and Business Systems required for any senario

Hi XI experts
     I am very new to XI but it is very interesting ....
     To develop any scenario how to decide Technical systems and Business
     Systems...
     For any scenario but how to decide the systems howmany to create ?
     I had a scenario like SOAP to RFC to SOAP ? For this how to decide?
     One more like FILES to BPM to JDBC ...like
     Can any one explain me for any scenario which may include SAP
     R/3,CRM,APO,BW,JDBC,SOAP,RFC...any system.
Adv..thanks and points to all
Kiranlvs

Hi Kiran.
Ok here I will try to answer your question.
1) SOAP (Web Service) -> RFC (R/3) -> SOAP (Web Service)
a) you will need to create a Business System for R/3.
b) you will need to create a third party business system or a business service for the Web Service system.
2) File (File System) -> XI -> JDBC (Database)
a) you will need to create a third party business system or a business service for the File system.
b) you will need to create a third party business system or a business service for the Database system.
note: BPM is one of the functionality of XI so there is no need to create a BS or TS for it.
3) CRM or APO or BW (SAp Systems) -> XI -> IDoc (R/3)
a) Business System for CRM or APO or BW
b) Business System for R/3.
The bottom line is you need to create Business System for any SAP system that is part of you integration scenario or when you have to Idoc, RFC and Proxies.
If the business system already exists for the SAP system then you just need to attach your SWCV or Product to that Business System.

How do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?

how do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?
Right now my macbook pro requires an admin password before connecting to a new wifi network. In other words when a user that is not an admin tries to connect to a new wifi network the pop up displays indicating that it is locked and an admin password is required.
Is there a way to remove this restriction so that a non admin can connect to wifi without the mac's admin password.

You can enable / disable this option in System Preferences:
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab > Require administrator authorization to: Change networks

HT3702 Does anyone know how to get a refund for an app that is no longer required.

I have downloaded apps that I no longer require, does anyone know how I can get a refund. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Apple considers all sales to be final. There are no refunds. Especially no refund just because you think that you don't need to use the app anymore.
When you don't need your vacuum cleaner any more because you have a new one, does Walmart let you bring the old on back for a refund?

I cannot get on to my Apple TV. I know that they are now requiring a one time security code? What is it How do I find it?

I know that they are now requiring a one time security code. How do I find it? Does anyone know what it is?

There is no such code required to use the Apple TV. A user can setup a passcode to be required for airplay, and Apple ID is required for use of the iTunes store (or any other subscriptions associated with it).

How to decide whether to use a cube or dso?

Hi,
If any requirment is given ,Based on what conditions we decide which data target(i.e a cube or dso) to be used ?
As of my knowledge,
1) DSO has the property of Over write option and cube have additive property.
2) DSO can have delta records and cube can not have.
Do we need consider these also?while we decide to load?
help me how to decide the data target for a particular requirment
Regards
Naresh.

Hi,
If you have to report on a data target, you should always use Cube (give us better performance).
For intermediate storage, we use DSO.
Another thing is that DSO can also be used in additive mode. Regarding Delta, cube can have delta loads and can also provide delta to another target.

Item category B & D, how SRM decides

Hi all,
When we create SC and PO goes to backend. It goes with one item category. Which are 3:
1) Standard orders: Nil
2) Limit orders: B
3) Service Orders: D
I want to know how SRM discriminate between B & D. I know that if you choose items from catalogs it goes as standard orders. Means, on what parameter it is decided that the item in SC will take category B or D in R/3.

Hi,
D is service items : item category is a field in the SC structure.
If you select item from catalogue, it can be a service or an item and the OCI (open catalogue interface between catalogue and SRM) will transfer the correct information on wether it is a service or a good.
If non catalogue item (describe requirement) :
there is a radio button to select manually service or good
If this is a replicated material or service (from R/3 to SRM), the item contains the inforation (see transaction commpr01).
For limit items, there is a special transaction and item category B is default one.
Kind regards,
Yann

How to decide inserting Queries into Workbooks

Hi,
I have a few doubts..pls clarify my doubts
1. How to decide inserting Queries into workbooks (How many number of Queries will be inserting into workbooks??)
2. Shall i use single sheet (or) Multiple sheets
3. We are using Hierarchy...So, How to insert a Query( How to decide which row/coulmn the Query can be placed??)
4. How to suppress Zeros and # permanently (For temporarily, i went to cell context menu--All Characteristics-Suppress zero column/Row..)
But looking for permanent solution..
Please Suggest me ...
Thanks..
Help will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks.........

Hi venkat,
1.how may queries in a workbook will depend on the reporting requirement.
2. single or multiple sheet - it is advisable to insert one query in each sheet to avoid confusion.
3. If you are using hierarchies then it is not advisable to use then in worrkbooks, since the values in the cells would keep changing depending on the hierarchy and the level it is expanded etc.
4. To supress zeros you can also do a setting in spro -- > SAP netweaver --> SAP Business information warehouse --> Report-relevant settings --> presenting the numeric value in the Business explorer
Standard settings
Under certain circumstances numeric values and texts for currencies, or units, in the Business Explorer cannot be determined uniquely. In such cases predefined texts are displayed instead of the numeric values, and currencies, or units:
If a Division by zero arises when calculating a numeric value then this text is output.
If a numeric value cannot be determined then this text is output (does not exist).
If a numeric value is not calculated due to numeric overlapping then this text is output.
If a numeric value is made up of several currencies, or units, then this text is output instead of the currency or unit (mixed currencies).
If a user does not have authorization to display a particular numeric value for a cell in the executed query, then this text is output in the cell instead (no authorization).
If a calculated numeric value is made up of different currencies, or units, then the numeric value can or cannot be output. If you choose mixed values then the numeric value is output. If mixed values is not active then the text is output that you entered under "mixed currencies".
Activities
1. Determine the texts that are to be output in the Business Explorer instead of numeric values.
2. Decide whether numeric values, that are made up of different currencies, or units, should be output.
If the above explanation was helpful, please assign reward points.

How to get that the invoice has been printed or not?

Hi Experts,
I have a issue in Printing Invoice. I have to make 2 copies of an invoice. One is Original and another is Duplicate. I have made that with copy windows. But the requirement is that when the original copy of a selected invoice has been printed then from the second time only the duplicate copy will be printed. How to do that in ABAP? How to get the information that the invoice has been printed or not?
Regards,
SURYA

Hi Surya,
Try the below approach, i think this is better than the previous approach and takes care of the print from "text menu" as well
select from z table.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
call "SMARTFORM_COPY"
else.
While calling the smartform, make sure you import the "JOB_OUTPUT_INFO" parameter,
and after you call the smartform,
call "SMARTFORM_ORIG"
exporting...
Importing...
job_output_info = w_job_output_info
exceptions...
If sy-subrc eq 0.
if w_job_output_info EQ 'X'.
update the Z table.
else.
do not update the z table
endif.
endif.
endif.

Chen
