How to use Technical Term

Hi,
I have a simple process that has few variables involved like budget, approval time limit, etc.. And i want to use these variables in the course of the business process, say for example, the budget value will be checked and if it is above a particular limit, i want to take some action. In this scenario, how will i represent the variables, budget, approval time limit in my process, and how do i use it..
Should i first define them as technical terms or kpi. once definition is done, how do i use them in the process. how do i give the condition to be used in a function block.
Thanks,
Vishnupriya

Technical terms are meant for informal information modeling.
Typical usage involves:
1. Modeling hierarchy of terms or information; for example, "Customer details" (a piece of information) consists of "Customer Name" and "Phone number".
2. Modeling synonyms - to show how different departments use different words, terms or phrases to name the same piece of information; for example, "CID" is a synonym for "Customer Code".
3. Modeling relationships between Technical Terms (informal pieces of information) and Clusters, Entities and Attributes (formal data).
KPIs are Key Performance Indicators and they are used to measure (on daily, weekly or monthly basis) how good or bad an organization is heading towards goals which were assumed to be reached.
Let's say the goal is "to get 40% of a market share within the next six months".
So, the organization defines KPI named "market share" and assumes target values for it at the end of each of these six months; e.g.,
5% (1st month), 10% (2nd month), 17% (3rd), 26% (4th), 35% (5th) and 40% (6th month).
Then at the end of each month the real market share is measured and compared to assumed target values. If the real values are below assumed ones, some actions are should be taken to fix the situation.
According to a description of your problem, both technical terms or KPIs are not the proper choice for you.
Actually, in models at the business level you don't use precise values like $2000 of the budget limit, for example. You should use general statements like "Check budget value" (function in EPC or decision in BPMN) and then 2 paths "Below limit" and "Above limit".
The precise value ($2000 for example) should be use in models at the technical level (BPEL).
Hope it helped. Best regards,

  • How PI uses technical system information in SLD

    Hi Experts,
    I know there are business system and technical system registered and associated in SLD.
    Especially for those SAP systems, in our normal PI scenario, how PI uses the technical information which was registered under Technical System in SLD since we need again configure the host/port and credentials details in the sender/receiver channel in ID.
    Or SLD is just one central place for collecting all the technical information together only for life cycle management?
    There is nothing more to do with the Tech System (SLD), PI only needs the business system in scenario.
    Please knidly share your opnion, thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,

    Hi Aditya,
    Let me provide an example to describe the need fot technical systems.
    Think of an outbound scenario : SAP ECC/CRM -> PI -> Third Party (ex: SOAP)
    Now just think how PI will identify what the sender is (ECC/CRM or 3rd party) if the TS is not registered in SLD? The Business Systems are logical systems whcih points to Technical Systems (application systems that are installed in system landscape). TS hold the information about the actual systems, its host, IP, clients etc.
    Now based on the source BS which points to TS, the target binding is done in Receiver Determination pipeline step. Now if there is no TS attached to the BS how can PI identify whether ECC or CRM is sending the data and hence will not be able to identify the relevant target for the source.
    Think of Business Systems as sitting on top of Technical Systems, and when the landsape details are not known for third party systems we use Business Component/Business Service.

  • How to use a Westell 7500 as a router-switch ?

    I have an extra Verizon Westell 7500 DSL modem router (A90-750015-07). How do I turn it into a router-switch that will take an ethernet (not DSL) network feed (with internet access) and distribute it among a few devices and put those devices into some kind of sub-network so they see each other? I'm not using technical terms here - please teach me.
    My wife is going to rent a small temporary office that provides internet access via a socket in the wall. Let's assume it's a typical RJ-45 ethernet socket. The internet speed might actually be pretty good - maybe 30Mbs down and very fast up. The total internet capacity is shared with other temporary offices in the facility, but let's assume we'll have enough for our needs.
    If the only thing I bring is a single computer, I could use a J-45 ethernet cable to plug its network card directly into this socket and be done. But I'll be bringing at least two computers and a small printer/scanner. Both computers will need to share the internet access, and both computers and the printer/scanner will need to "see" each other. (Just like at home.)
    So, if I plug the extra Westell 7500 into the network wall socket and then my PCs and printer into the Westell, I should get what I need here, yes? How do I do this exactly, step-by-step?
    I have experimented at home and have maybe 10% success. At home, I don't have an ethernet socket in the wall, but I do have my current (not Westell) modem-router, and it has an unused LAN socket, which I am pretending is the office's ethernet socket. I connected a test computer to the Westell 7500 and logged onto the Westell 7500's embedded server (192.168.1.1), changed its VersaPort from "LAN ethernet port" to "WAN uplink port", connected the newer modem-router's unused LAN socket to the Westell 7500's E1/Uplink socket with a J45 cable, went to the Westell 7500's "Advanced" page and ran "Detect WAN Configuration". That changed the Westell 7500's "WAN uplink port Settings Protocal" from PPPoE to Routed IP. The Westell 7500 now also says its "Broadband Connection Type" is "Routed Bridge".
    The test computer connected to the Westell 7500 shows it is connected to the Westell 7500, but it cannot connect all the way through to the internet. At the start, the newer modem-router shows the Westell is connected to it, and the newer modem-router has given the Westell a DHCP address of 192.168.1.5. But after a few minutes, the newer modem-router doesn't show the Westell any more. If I re-run Detect WAN Configuration on the Westell 7500, it says "Automatic Protocol Detecion is in progress" but then "DHCP server was found ... PPPoE server not found", and then the newer modem-router shows the Westell 7500 again as 192.168.1.5. But the test computer does not have internet access.
    What exactly should I do with the additional settings in the Westell 7500 to make this work?
    If there's a great web site to explain this to me, please point me there.
    Thanks.

    Hi Shonilchi,
    You can try iterating each site and list, check if there is a managed metadata column in a list then iterate each list item to read managed metadata column value, and output to a file programmatically.

  • What is SQL Trace and How to Use it .

    Dear Experts .
    1.) May You Please tell me What is the Purpose of SQL-Trace and How to use it ?
    2.) What is purpose of T-codes SE30 and ST22 ?
    Please it is urgent ...
    Regards :  Rajneesh

    Hi
    SQL Trace transaction ST05: The trace list has many lines that are not related to the SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the execution of any ABAP program requires additional administrative SQL calls. To restrict the list output, use the filter introducing the trace list.
    The trace list contains different SQL statements simultaneously related to the one SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the R/3 Database Interface - a sophisticated component of the R/3 Application Server - maps every Open SQL statement to one or a series of physical database calls and brings it to execution. This mapping, crucial to R/3s performance, depends on the particular call and database system. For example, the SELECT-ENDSELECT loop on a particular database table of the ABAP program would be mapped to a sequence PREPARE-OPEN-FETCH of physical calls in an Oracle environment.
    The WHERE clause in the trace list's SQL statement is different from the WHERE clause in the ABAP statement. This is because in an R/3 system, a client is a self-contained unit with separate master records and its own set of table data (in commercial, organizational, and technical terms). With ABAP, every Open SQL statement automatically executes within the correct client environment. For this reason, a condition with the actual client code is added to every WHERE clause if a client field is a component of the searched table.
    To see a statement's execution plan, just position the cursor on the PREPARE statement and choose Explain SQL. A detailed explanation of the execution plan depends on the database system in use.
    Run time analysis transaction SE30 :This transaction gives all the analysis of an ABAP program with respect to the database and the non-database processing. 
    STEPS
    Run time analysis transaction SE30
    In Transaction SE30, fill in the transaction name or the program name which needs to be analyzed for performance tuning.
    For our case, let this be “ZABAP_PERF_TUNING”
    After giving the required inputs to the program, execute it. After the final output list has been displayed, PRESS the “BACK” button.
    On the original SE30 screen, now click on “ANALYZE” button.
    The percentage across each of the areas ABAP/ Database/System shows the percentage of total time used for those areas and load on these areas while running the program . The lesser the database load faster the program runs.
    SQL Trace – ST05
    Starting the Trace:
    To analyze a trace file, do the following:
    Choose the menu path Test  Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench or go to Transaction ST05. The initial screen of the test tool appears. In the lower part of the screen, the status of the Performance Trace is displayed. This provides you with information as to whether any of the Performance Traces are switched on and the users for which they are enabled. It also tells you which user has switched the trace on.
    Using the selection buttons provided, set which trace functions you wish to have switched on (SWL trace, enqueue trace, RFC trace, table buffer trace).
    If you want to switch on the trace under your user name, choose Trace on. If you want to pass on values for one or several filter criteria, choose Trace with Filter.
    Typical filter criteria are: the name of the user, transaction name, process name, and program name.
    Now run the program to be analyzed.
    Stopping the Trace:
    To deactivate the trace:
    Choose Test Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench. The initial screen of the test tool appears. It contains a status line displaying the traces that are active, the users for whom they are active, and the user who activated them.
    Select the trace functions that you want to switch off.
    Choose Deactivate Trace. If you started the trace yourself, you can now switch it off immediately. If the performance trace was started by a different user, a confirmation prompt appears before deactivation-
    Analyzing a Sample trace data: PREPARE: Prepares the OPEN statement for use and determines the access method.
    OPEN: Opens the cursor and specifies the selection result by filling the selection fields with concrete values.
    FETCH: Moves the cursor through the dataset created by the OPEN operation. The array size displayed beside the fetch data means that the system can transfer a maximum package size of 392 records at one time into the buffered area.

  • Re: [SunONE-JATO] Re: How to use a tiled view without a model

    I'm not sure what is different for you now. You still parse the string
    and put it into a data structure. Before the data structure was a
    vector, in JATO its just a model with a "hidden" data structure (a hash
    map).
    MVC only really comes into play when you talk about where your write
    this code, and where the data structure is being stored. So really, JATO
    takes care of half of the MVC'ness of it all (where the data is store).
    You just decide where to be the code to populate the model.
    Make sense?
    Is there something different required of you in JATO in this scenario
    that I am not grasping?

    I guess the only thing "weird" (for lack of a better term) about what
    you are doing is that your are populating the model on the "display
    cycle". Typically, the cycle goes like this:
    Request -> populate model -> update data store -> retrieve data to
    populate model -> display data
    some of the above steps are optional but hopefully you get the point I
    am making.
    So what you are doing is:
    Request -> populate model/display data
    If it works for you, then it's not necessarilly wrong. But I would
    probably have my model populated before I forwarded to the target
    (displaying view bean) or at a minimum, in the begin display event of
    the view bean or the tiled view, but not during the iteration of the
    tiled view.

  • How to use transaction FPOP

    Hi,  All,
    I am trying to do delta upload for FI-CA business partner items 0FC_BP_ITEMS. I see there is a documentation say "Before you start the delta extraction, you should update the delta queue for this DataSource in the plugged-in OLTP system using transaction FPOP.". After my initial load, I made a new posting. And then I ran FPOP, and then I run delta update. But I am told "No new data since the last delta update". So seems delta did not get my new posting. Is there anybody can give some advice, or tell me how to use FPOP? I am not sure how to create the Variant in FPOP. Thanks a lot!

    HI ,
    Steps for FPOP
    1. Under General Selection tab input Date ID and Identification. - > Combination of this must be Unique.
    2.Steps to create Variant - >Under technical settings tab , select tab for variant maintenance -> press F7 to create a new variant  -> give a variant name -> Select number of intervals and give number value as 999 and execute.

  • How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
    I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
    when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
    does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
    i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
    someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
    for this].
    also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
    For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
    any quick answers greatly appreciate..
    thx,

    Hi,
    That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
    Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.
