Index series and index class in asset accounting

Hi All,
I have read in the SAP documentation that we need to assign index series to index class. I have not found the place where index class is configured/assigned. Could you please let me know what are the configuration steps for indexing in asset accounting for calculation of replacement value and purpose of each of these steps/fields?
Regards
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
Revaluation is calculated as follows:

Store the index in the depreciation area.
Please also check the button Indicator "posting revaluation" in OAYR and read the F1 Help

Different b/w index rebuild and index rebuild online

hi..guys could u plz tel me difference between index rebuild and index rebuild online

There is no difference in both the commands. Both will rebuild the index structure from the scratch.But in the first case with only Rebuild, as long as the index, its temporary segment is not prepared and merged together, index is not available for the other users for use. The Online clause makes the index available for others even while being rebuild.
Rebuilding index online has the same concept of creating them online to some extent,

What's the index node and index page in DB2

Could you please explain what the index node and index page in DB2, and what's the relationship between them?

Following paragraph is copied from tadm56.
Tables contain records of data. One or more records of a table are stored in a DB2 data page. Pages are the minimum I/O unit of DB2. A DB2 data page can contain one or more records. But a record must fit in a data page.
If a record of a table does not fit in a 4096 byte (4 KB) page, the table must be defined in a tablespace that is based on a larger page size. DB2 also provides page sizes of 8192 bytes (8 KB), 16384 bytes (16 KB), and 32768 bytes (32 KB).
For improved access to data, indexes are predefined by SAP developers. Indexes can also be defined later as further need arises. An index is defined using a few columns of a table, which are accessed frequently. Index data structures allow for efficient retrieval of small quantities of data. Indexes are based on nodes, their storage is maintained within DB2 index pages. Because the pointers pointing to other index nodes are also stored in the index pages, storage of indexes is not as compact as the storage of data records.
And above this paragraph, there is a figure that shows relationship. I don't know how to paste a picture here. In the figure, it shows that table records vs data page is n:1, and index nodes vs index page is 1:1.
How to understand index nodes vs index page is 1:1?

Create Index Series for France

Hi all
I have to create the Index Series for France (S_ALR_87009182 - Maintain Index Series / T-code OAV5), but I don't know how to handle. My French colleague only sent information from "Cabinet Roux: Coefficients des Revalorisation des Estimations Préalables + Indice RI / Indice FNB". As far as I understand I only have to enter the Index Series for buildings (bâtiment) and stock (matériel), but how have I to enter these Index Series and the belonging figures ?
Thanks and best regards, Pamela

Dear Pamela,
The purpose of Index Series is to handle price changes on account of inflation of technical advancement. You need to check these values from French inflation data if the purpose is inflation and if it is other case (i.e. technical advancement), then the contact person who has the authoritiy and information about the price change on account of technical advancement will be in a position to provide you the details. As far as I know there is no strieght forward formulla to find these figures, there is no harm getting back to the perosn who raised the requirement.
Hope this helps!!!

Runnable JAR, Main-Class, Class-Path and INDEX.LST

Some funky finding, don't know whether this is a bug or a feature...
I'm using
java version "1.4.2_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_06-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_06-b03, mixed mode)
I observed follwing weired behaviour:
If you have a JAR packed with your classes and define in the Manifest a Main-Class and a Class-path pointing to JARs in the same directory than the main JAR, example:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.2
Created-By: 1.4.2_06-b03 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: main.Main
Class-Path: activation.jar axis.jar commons-discovery.jar
commons-logging.jar jaxrpc.jar log4j-1.2.8.jar mail.jar saaj.jar wsd
l4j.jar junit.jarTHEN you should NOT have a META-INF/INDEX.LST file. This file is created for instance by ant jar when setting attribute index="true". Itt complies to the JAR standard and is used to find classes faster.
If you have such a file then none of the classes of the "Class-Path" JARs will be found. At least that was true for me...
Hope, I haven't bothered you with something commonly knwown. Just wanted to let you know, to avoid fighting againt JARs like I did for the last 3 hours..damn.
Cheers,
Peter

Does anyone know if having a Class-Path in the manifest would ignore the system environment variable CLASSPATH?
I'm seeing this in my set-up. I have an external jar file that can be seen if copied to <jre dir>/lib/ext, but when it's in another dir with the CLASSPATH pointing to it can't be found.
My applet uses a number of jar files and I reference them in the manifest using the Class-Path entry. Does this supercede the environment variable??

When going to Content Administration -> KM Content -> Documents and clicking the index.html file, the css file is taken into account, when i.e hovering over the IMPAX hyperlink, the path is http://<host>:<port>/irj/go/km/docs/documents/impax.html and the impax.html page is displayed when clicked.
However, when creating a KM Document iView (with or without content filter) pointing to /documents/index.html and displaying the iView, the style sheet is ignored, and the same hyperlink as above now refers to http://<host>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/impax.html, which is incorrect.

Hi,
You should correct the path to your css file in your index.html:

Index series

Hi,
1 I notice that the index is going up trend by years. May I know what is the reason?
example 1980 10 but in 2000 is going up to 15.
2 How does it impact the insurance valuation and replacement value when the index is getting higher? meaning asset worth more and more each year? I thought asset is getting cheaper by the years?
Hope can get explanation.
Thanks

My company intends to uses these Index Series to record the Handy Whitman Index or the Consumer Price Index for the respect years for our industry. These will go up year over year due to inflation factor. The system uses this to calculate the replacement cost of the asset as new in the unfortunate event that it needs to be replaced though an insurance claim. this allows the system to calculate the Insured Value of an asset. The asset does loose value due to depreciation which is a completely different matter. The Insurance Value will increase in value solely for the purpose of valuating the asset in the event that it needs to be replaced as a result of an insurance claim.
Hope this helps!

Jabber and Indexing in AD

I'm setting up Jabber for Windows, iPhone and iPod and the Cisco documentation refers to indexing certain attributes in Active Directory, e.g.
Index these Active Directory attributes:
• sAMAccountName
• displayName
• mail
• msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress
In addition, index any attributes that are used for contact resolution. For example, you might need to index
these attributes:
• telephoneNumber
• Any other directory phone number attributes that are used to find contacts, depending on the value of
the DisableSecondaryNumberLookups key
• ipPhone
Our AD team advise me that sAMAccountName, displayName and mail are laready indexed, but indexing the other fields would require a schema change (which thay won't do without very good reason) and will have a performance overhead.
I'm wondering of anyone can give some details from a Jabber perspective of not indexing the other attributes ? Is indexing a 'nice to have' or a 'must do' ?
Regards
Kelvin

Hi Kelvin
Basically if an attribute is not indexed then it isn't optimised as a field for searching. That's why sAMAccountName for example is indexed by default, as every single logon or search for a username will use that index.
Adding indexed fields increases the size of the AD database, but the trade off is that searhes based on those numbers are faster and incur less processing overhead on the DCs.
Jabber et al do reverse lookups on numbers for every call that is received, so if those number fields are not indexed there will be an overhead on the DCs, and searches may time out or be returned slowly to the client.
There's some more info here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2008/04/01/how-to-create-a-mosiac-of-user-thumbnails-in-aduc-dsa-msc.aspx
The bottom line is that yes, it is a 'schema change' but it is reversible (you can just untick the 'index' option any time) - not like actual attribute/class additions. Given that the Jabber clients will make heavy use of searches on those attributes it is typically a sensible change... That said, it's up to your AD guys to manage their performance however they see fit. If they want to ignore vendor's advice because they know their environment better and monitor/manage their performance already, then that's fine. They may have so many DCs of such a high spec that performance will never be an issue :-)

Asset accounting and Inventory management.

Hi gurus, I need your advice.
We want to control our inventory and our fixed assets in order to be able to match the amounts between both modules. The main difficulty is that not all the items we register into the inventory module generate a fixed asset (we have sixty thousand inventory items and seven thousand fixed assets).
The way I have thought to solve it is the next: currently we have and asset class per Fixed Asset GL Account. I want to create two asset classes per GL Account, one for the fixed assets that are into the Inventory Module and other for the Fixed Assets that aren´t in the Inventory Module.
Do you think it is ok or do you have a better/easier solution??
Many thanks in advance.
BR//Alberto.

Since you mention there is an inventory module, and there is a fixed assets module - consider that the two are very different.
Inventory is merchandise for sale. When its costs are recognized, those costs are recorded as costs of sale or costs of goods sold. Inventory can be purchased or it can be constructed, but when we sell the items to customers we recognize both the revenue and the costs at the same time. The gross margin is the net gross profit or loss. Inventory has no depreciation.
Fixed assets are capital assets used by the organization to do the things the firm is in the business of doing. The tools used to build/construct inventory are capital assets (used in more than one year). Fixed assets will not be sold as a main purpose of the organization. Only inventory is sold as a main purpose of the organization to earn a profit. Since fixed assets benefit the organization for more than one year, we spread the costs over all those years in which revenue is generated by the fixed asset use. This is the matching principle to recognize costs when the revenue is recognized. To achieve this, we use the AFAR and AFAB depreciation process to spread that APC value across all periods that will benefit from the "tools."
I think you are already using MM for your inventory module. There can be different classes of inventory just as there can be different classes of fixed assets in SAP. Each class has its own reconciling account. Each is its own subsidiary ledger/listing of items that sum to the balance in the reconciling account. Subledger transactions will automatically update the reconciling account balances for the class - whether we are talking fixed assets or inventory.
I hope this can help, since it sounded like the terminology was confusing. Neither SAP or accounting is simple. Regards

Problem with replacement of index series, change of base year

Hi Experts!
I try to explain my problem in Real Estate.
In Italy from January 2011 the baseline (base year) national index of consumer prices for the entire community (NIC) and national consumer price index for families of workers and employees (CPI) moved from 1995 to 2010.
So, I have to change the base year of index in Rent Adjustment.
I think I have changed the base year from 1995 to 2010.
(Path: Real Estate>Rent Adjustment>Index>Replacement of index series, change of base year)
In table TIVAJINDXCON (previous was empty) now there is this record:
SERIESTO: 08000
BASEYEARTO: 1995
SERIESFROM: 08000
BASEYEARFROM: 2010
CHAINDATE: 31.12.2010
INDEXBASETO: 1,373
But with transaction FOA0 it seems that the rent adjustment still consider 1995 as base year instead of 2010.
I have to set the SAP application as to use 2010 as new base year instead of 1995.
Would you please forward me with any support.
Best regards,
Thank you.
Tania

PDF Portfolio with Index Doc (and links)?

Hello all.
I'm a newbie at Porfolios, and have version 9 on windows. I also have version 10 at work.
I want to take an excel spreadsheet (converted to pdf) and make it a main index in my portfolio; whereas when someone clicks on the index, it starts at a first page; allowing them to view the list of assets, and then click an asset name (link) which takes them to a sub file in a sub folder, or just a sub file. I don't think I ever go more than 2 link clicks to get to the bottom of the tree.
I was able to create the index, and links, and on both 9 and 10 (windows) it follows the links nicely.
The problem? There's no logical button or menu choice that I can find which takes me back to the main index after I've hit the bottom of the tree.
Thoughts?

I don't need the detail of when the pdf was added to the portfolio. I
need know which dwg or jpg or word file was converted and the original
created date of that file for control of information.
That is impossible; sorry. For some *very specific* types of conversion to PDF the pdfx:SourceModified XMP tag will be set to show the last-modification date of the source file (for example DOCX files converted using MS Word), but there will never be a human-readable record of the source filename or its creation date unless you have manually added them as document XMP properties after conversion (this is what the "Custom Properties" dialog is for). To embed source data automatically would raise no end of privacy and security problems for customers, who most certainly do NOT want their recipients seeing details of internal documents.
Without writing a plugin there's no access to the internal workflow of the Combine Files dialog, so you cannot use a script to read the names and dates of the files *before* conversion and store them automatically in the new PDF Portfolio's Fields array.

Assigning primary key and index for a table

I have a database consisting of only one table with 10 million rows which mostly looks like this:

24-JAN-12 10.53.06.000000 AM     98     11     33As you can see there are several entries that look exactly the same. Currently, I don't have primary key or index for any column and have a lot of performance issues. For example this query takes more than 10 seconds to run:
select distinct      ID
from      scdatabase4
where ID < 253
order by 1Since database is not my primary job and have no background of it, I'm really confused about what to do to fix my issues. Could someone please help me in assigning primary key and index if you agree that this is the problem?!

Execute the query below to help decide what column to index:
SELECT COLUMN_NAME, NUM_DISTINCT, NUM_NULLS, NUM_BUCKETS, DENSITY
FROM DBA_TAB_COL_STATISTICS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'your_table_name'
ORDER BY COLUMN_NAME;
The important columns are:
1) NUM_DISTINCTS: Indicates the number of distinct values. If this number is very low for a column, it indicates that this column is not a very good candidate for a B-Tree index.
2) NUM_NULL: Indicates the number of null values for each column. A column with few null values is a good candidate for a index
But be aware, this is not a rule, it's just a method to help decide which column will have the most benefit of index creation.

Iweb and index.html won't work with ftp provider

Hello all.
I have been working on my new website using iweb 09 and I have had problems publishing it to My ftp provider. I have followed all the prompts to the end, but when I have published my site and go looking for it on Web using my URL , it says there is an error.
I have been in touch with my host provider " Just Host" and this is the message they sent me ( I have copied and pasted it ):
As I see all you have uploaded to the *login name* account is index.html.
You have uploaded it incorrectly, to the root folder /login name/, whether index file and the rest of the site for www.mywebsite.com should be located in the /login name/public_html/ folder.
I've moved the file to the proper folder and the site started showing up the error.
Your index.html file is incorrect.
What does this all mean? I went to the apple shop and they suggested using Mobile Me as this would not happen, but that does not suit me as I have just signed up for 4 years with Just Host and I'd like to use them. The apple shop also told me that iweb separates each page of the website and assigns an index.html to each folder for each page and they supposedly are all linked? From the above e-mail if I understand it correctly, this is not the case or do I have to do something for this to happen?
I am at a total lost and having a melt down! Can any one out there help me in plain English as I am only new to all this and am only just getting familiar with the website terminologies? I have searched many forums and have had to look up hundreds of terms in " computer " dictionaries to understand what people are talking about. Please excuse my mental breakdown, as I am really worried that all this work I have put in will go down the chute.
I'm sure you understand how frustrating it can be when something so simple becomes so difficult!
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you .
Ben.

Hello Ethmoid.
Thank you for your response. I have attached this e-mail to both you and Wyodor as you have been both extremely helpful.
I have managed to get my home page up thanks to your help, but for some reason now , it won't go to the following pages, about,products etc?
As I have done a few web site practices ,I have read that sometimes Iweb has trouble distinguishing between the different sites published in my site or public folders. Could this be the problem? Do I need to delete my old sites?
I tried to change the site name to another name but it won't allow me, every time I retype the new name it keeps jumping back to the extra www.etc.
Also for some reason , all the boxes where my page headings are, they seem to be out of line and a different size even though on my desktop on iweb my front page has all the boxes the same size.
Why is this?
Once again thank you for your help.
Ben

CS 4 vs CS 3 - Quick Search and Indexing Improvements???

Our firm is currently using CS3 Bridge and Spotlight for image archiving and retrieval. The indexing time is horrendous
given the volume and size of images. The Spotlight interface is not that intuitive and looking at solutions
that include upgrading to CS4. I would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding CS4 and potential
improvements with search and indexing of images.

As a big fan of Bridge I sure would advice you to upgrade to CS4 because it
is a far more stable version. However I use it not for Digital Asset
Management and I also think Bridge is still not ready for this job because
they still have no good cache management system for it.
It is an exclelent application for ingestion files, sorting, rating adding
metadata renaming and start to develop in ACR. For this I use it daily to
great satisfaction.
However I have an archive with over 40.000 files in it and I have tried to
use Bridge to index it. Not very succesful I have to confess.
I recently switched from Media Expression (before Microsoft took over it was
called iView Media Pro) to the single user version of Canto Cumulus.
Although both mentioned DAM applications are not free they are well worth
the money (Canto is a little more expensive but again worth the money)
You can get a trial version for both DAM, just try them to see which will
suit you the best.
Also download the CS4 trial, this is certainly a good investment as you will
discover after you have tried it
