How to make BI Info obj Data element in-herit source DE documntn?

Say I am in ECC. I go to SE11, give table name MARA and then doubleclick on the dataelement 'MATNR'. Then I click on documentation. I get a popup with Short text " Material Number" and Definition "Alphanumeric key uniquely identifying the material'.
I am interested in the latter information that is 'Definition' - & in general whatever documentation comes up for data element in ECC.CRM.SCM,SRM.
Now I log into SAP BI. I find that under characteristic 0Material, the data element is /BI0/oimaterial. When I double-click this datamaterial and press the documentation button, the system says 'No documentation'.
My Questions:
1. IS there a switch we could turn on in source ECC/SRM/CRM/SRM so that the data element in SAP BI inherits the original source field data element documentation.
{ I am not too convinced of the argument- that in BI we have info objects in ECC we have fields - since I am talking of data element level information- I would tend to think of this as an oversight of the designers or de-prioritization !!}.
2. Could we have an ABAP workaround? That is, in BI we identify the tables that house the mapping between the source and destination data elementsa and take out this information. Then we extract the dataelement documentation by function DOCU_GET (from eCC) and use the mapping info above to link SAP BI data element with source data element documentation.
WHY do I want to punish myself as above? My use case is, we take out SAP BI Table, field, metadata etc and create a model in a modeling tool and physical implementation in a 3rd party DW database as our own canonical, application-agnostic corporate datawarehouse. I would want the source data element documentation to flow to this last system as well as the modeling tool.

That is, in BI we identify the tables that house the mapping between the source and destination data elementsa and take out this information. Then we extract the dataelement documentation by function DOCU_GET (from eCC) and use the mapping info above to link SAP BI data element with source data element documentation.
1) SAP don't supply this, I would imagine, because R/3 isn't the only possible source of data. I'm currently working on an app that extracts from R/3, an Oracle database and APO. From whence should I take the documentation for my MATERIAL info object? While being able to transfer the documentation of data elements might be very useful for your app, I can't see that generally it would be of interest to clients - I've certainly never heard of such a requirement. So, my opinion at least, it isn't a design flaw.
2) As you've pointed out, you can get the tables that do the mapping, so you know the source data elements, so you can get the documentation. I'm not sure of how to store the documentation, but the obvious candidate for a link between infoobject and dataelement would be master data of an own infoobject. You could wrap DOCU_GET in an RFC (if it isn't RFC enabled), and do a direct call between your 3rd party app and r/3 to get the documentation. For information about the mapping tables, I'd suggest asking that question specifically in one of the BI forums.

How to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer

Hi,
         Does anyone know how to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer? To make my question clearly, I would like to give you an example. In my application, I set "sample to read" as 10 which means at each loop 10 data samples will be taken into a buffer. Now, what I would like to do is to do some calculations on adjacent data samples in same buffer. I tried to use "shift register" for this, but it seemed to me that it only can deal with the calculation between data from adjacent loops. In other words, it skips 9 data elements and take the 10th one for the calculation.
         Here I also attach my VI showing what I did.
    Thank you very much in advance,
                        Suksun

Hi Suksun,
      I hope you'll forgive me for distilling your code - mainly to understand it better. I tried to duplicate your logic exactly - which required reversing the "derivatives"-array before concatination with the current samples array. As in your code, the last velocity is being paired with the first position. If first velocity is really supposed to be paired with first position, just remove the "Reverse 1D Array" node.
cheers

How to create a non-cumulative key figure & How to make a info cube as so

Hi Experts,
How to create a non-cumulative key figure & How to make an info cube as non-cumulative cube?
Can any one kindly provide me the steps we need to performe?
Thanks in Advance,
Raj

Hi Azael,
In the How to Papers, you will find a Guide on how to take a Sanpshot view of the Stocks(How To Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW). Basically if you implement the Guide, you will have another cube called ICSNAP1, which will contain stock quantities /values at the end of each month. You will therefore have to take stock at the end of the last month from that cube and add up the relevant receipts and issues to arrive at the current Stock or Stock as on a particular date.
Hope this helps!

How to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time

hello
I have 2 while loop
the 1st while loop includes the data acquisition program
the 2nd while loop includes the control program
my question is how to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time
I tried with the local variable and direct wiring between the 2 while loop
it does not work (there is a delay)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bilalus,
Queues are only good to transfer data if your application isn't deterministic. Since you are using Real Time, I am assuming that your application requires determinism. If you are using Timed Loops and you use queues to transfer data between your loops, you are losing determinism. In this case, you need to use the RT FIFO functions.

How to use Reference type of Data Element

Hi guys, is there anyone could give me a trace how to use reference type of data element.
More details i'm going to reach is:
I create 2 tables:
eq.
1. table ZFIRST has field X with data element ZFX (Data element i declared).
2. table ZSECOND has field Y.
Here at field Y (second table) I'm going to declare a new data element say it ZFY, but in ZFY I'm going to use the data element as i declared before (ZFX). Is it possible if I do it using reference type data element (SE11)?
I already did this way, but I got error :
Field Y: Reference ZFX to class w/o interface cannot be used in DB table ZSECOND
What does it mean?. Did I miss something about using reference data element type?.
This error occurs when I activate ZSECOND table. However in creating ZFY (reference) to data element ZFX, there is no error occur.
The point is I need to RE-declared existing data element and ot put existing data element(ZFX) to my current table (ZSECOND).
Any helpful will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

What does it mean?. Did I miss something about using reference data element type?.
Apparently system doesn't allow you to type a transparent table field with deep type. This refers to references and tables types as components. The RDBMS (Relational DB Management System) cannot interpret this componenets correclty and mapp them to TABLEs in DB.
So I am affraid you won't be able to type table component with reference to other data element.
The point is I need to RE-declared existing data element and ot put existing data element(ZFX) to my current table (ZSECOND).
Sorry but I don't get it, could you please explain this more clearly. Maybe then we can think of some workaround for you.

How to make enhanced fields of data source delta enabled?

Hi ,
I have a scenario, in which we are using the DS 0CUSTOMER_ATTR to load the master data.There are some fields added to this data source but this fields are not delta enabled. I have tested these fields from R/3 side using BDCP, CDPOS tables. All the fields are writing the changes correctly. But when extracting them using delta they are not capturing.If we load the full,it is capturing all the changes.
So running full load every week is taking more time.
Can any one suggest how to make this fileds delta enabled to capture the change in BW side as well to extract only changed records?
Any help will be greatly appriciated !
Thanks & Regards,
Vishnu

HI,
It is not possible to load delta this data. Your datasource only detects changes in the customer table and when any customer has been modified the record is loaded to BW. In this moment the datasource fill the append extructure.
The problem is that if you modifies some record from the append extructure the datasources doesn't detects the changes. When you does a full load you are filling the append extructure for the entire records and it works.
If you want to catch this deltas you should make a delta datasource for CDPOS but depending on the number of records of the tables it won't be possible.
You could check if there is any event to detects the modification and create a delta queue datasource for the append extructure.
Then, you can mix both datasources in a DSO in BW.
You can look for a " how to create generic datasources which use delta queue"
I hope it helps

How to make reports based on Data block work on web?

I am using form 6i and oracle 9ias
I have successfully call the common reports from the form on the web using run_report_object, then web.show_documnet(..);
But when it come to the reports based on the data block from the form, it doesn't work. it always fetch all the records from the table which the data block is based
Anyone can tell me how to make that work?
thanks

I have successfully do this when I am running forms and >reports in localhostTell me how did you achieve this?
Did you have both Reports and Forms running under same oracle home?
and off course was it a clinet server architecture?
What version for Form and Reports did you use?
Which executables did you use and what was your call from forms? When you call from Forms, which Reports executable use to run the report?
The data integration can only be achive if both the product were running under same Oracle home and were in client server architecture. I do not think data integration is possible in web architecture.
Thanks

How to control required and optional data elements

I am developing a web service using a stateless EJB. By default, when I use servicegen, the WSDL contains nillable="true" for all elements. How can I modify my EJB code so I can specify which elements are required vs optional?
Thanks.

Does anybody know how to make a selection in Photoshop Elements 13 without having the width / height box drag from the cursor?

I've recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to Photoshop Elements 13 and the selection tool dragging this little box behind it whenever I make a selection or move a selection is highly irritating. I tried to google for how to not have it shown and I read all the descriptions in the manual about selections, I found nothing.
The following image is what I mean. I want to get rid of the box that says W: 98 px H: 69 px, is there any way to do that? I know I could get used to it but if there is any way to not have it, I would love to know about it.

I have encountered this same problem.
The only fix, and an unstable one at that, is to alternately pan the screen and then drag the text box such that as it moves to scroll off the screen it remains on the page.
The reason this becomes unstable is that at higher zoom levels selecting this text box may also cause it to disappear completely from the page. At this point one has to zoom out find it and attempt to repeat this frustrating maneuver.
In my experience this effect extends to changing pages and alternating levels of zoom.

Question: How to make EDQ Purge Project data after Finishing a Job?

Hi all
I know how to purge project data manually by clicking
but I am wondering if there is a way to make EDQ to Purge project data after Finishing a Job by itself.
Thank you in advance for all answer.

Hi,
In EDQ 9.0, there is no automated purge facility.
However, note that you can configure a job to write only bare metrics and the data and results data that you are choosing to stage (or indeed to stage no data at all) - and you can set such options up to be variable at runtime using a run profile. It is normally better to consider purging separately from the running of jobs, since any temporary footprint a job has in the results database is cleared up automatically in any case.

Mike

HT4221 How to see photo info, like date taken?

You can't in the Photos app itself, but there are other apps that you can use which show that (and other info) e.g. iPhoto, Photo Manager Pro

How to make a graph dynamic data driven? Plus some XML basics for Illustrator?

I need to make some graphs that are linked to a series of data through XML files (originally Excel) and create an indvidual document for each data set. They will be used for the web and print. Please advise.

Tis is what you can do you create say your chart or your data say in Excel and you export ast Tab Delineated Text.You can then import that data for a chart with the import chart feature it is the first icon on top of the chart data window then you can make the chart dynamic asa variable and capture the data set then import another chart's data as txt as you did before then capture that as a data set abnd so on if you have then ten data sets each one will correspond to the one you need you can name the data sets so you can easily call up the one you need.
I never made a chart in excel or imported such data before a few minutes ago nor have I a=ever made a variable of a chart but this all works pretty reasonably.
More advance than this I would have to experiement but you can export the variable libraries and open them in Illustrator and figure it out for a way to load or export the excel info so it opens as a chart in Illustratorbut Illustrators charts are kind of primitive so donot expect much without a script to help you.
Perhaps you can figure out an actiopn toautomate the process?

Process Chain - How to make decision based on data in PSA and execute DTP

Need to create process in Process Chain, which will execute the DTP based on data in PSA.
Say we have two DSO A & B, both getting data from same datasource.
In process chain, we need to read data in one of the date field in PSA and make a decision, which DTP to get execute in process chain.
Say if date field contains year = 2000, than load to DSO A, if year is 2001, load data to DSO B.
Suggest the solution. ...

Hi,
Tyr this steps.
1) Develop ABAP process types
ABAP report to read PSA data using function module
Trigger events based on year
event1 -> for even year data
event2 -> for add year data
2) Develop local process chains for each DTPs and schdule it with events mentioned above.
Do reply with comments.
