InfoCube Design and Partitioning

Hi All, when we design an InfoCube, like when we decide which craracteristics to go in which dimension, does partitioning decided at this time as well? If os, please provide some details?
Can somebody guide me on this? thanks in advance.

Hi,
Both Infocube design and Partitioning will help in improving the performance.
Partioning will be decided based on the data to be stored in the Infocube. If for example, lets assume that the cube will hold 15 yrs of data. As you know, partiontioning can be done only based on Fiscal Year or Calmonth
If partioning is done on Fiscal Year, we might decide to go for 15 partitions as we have 15 yrs of data. If we decide to go for 7 partitions, then 2 yrs of data will be stored in each partition. Like wise for Calmonths, we might go for 15*12 partitions.
If your system is 3.5, data should not be there to do partioning, if your system is BI7, partioning can be done even if data is present in the cube.

Infocube Design/Development

Hi,
What are the factors we consider for designing Info cube and also what are factors we should consider in the requirments gathering for infocube design
and
How to choose an infoobject to declare it as line item dimension
Thanks

Hi BW Developer,
As for requirements gathering you may want to go through the blog: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15737. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
When desinging an InfoCube, U need to consider factors such as:
- What purpose the report will be used for reporting?
- What are the characteristics & KeyFigures required in the user report as per requirements
- What is the amount of data that will be used for reporting?
- What is the frequency for user reporting?
- How many users are expected to use the report at a given time?
- How do u seperate (design) dimensions using 1:n relationships.
- Perfomance measures such as Aggregates, Line Item dimensions, etc.
These are some of the pointers that can be considered.
Hope the above helps.

Analyzing design and performance activities of infocube

Hi
I have one InfoCube(ZICSAST) of SD application area . It's model was very bad . They put all the characteristics in this infocube . And this InfoCube uses all 13-custom dimensions .
So i need analyze the performance and design aspects of this infocube .
So what i need analyze like Line Item Dimension ...etc ???
So pls let me what are the things i can analyze from this infocube.

Hi,
    This is Thilak. There r so may aspects for designing a cube and to improve the performance. In order to design a cube.we have to consider 2 things.
1.Reducing number of dim tables and
2.Reducing no of records.
Note:
1. If the Relation between the master data tables is 1:m or 1:1 then go for assigning single sid table to single dim table.
2. If the relation in m:m then go for assigning multiple sid tables to single dim table.
Performance:
1.        When u r designing a cube first think is there any requirement of report based on Calyear/month or fiscyearperiod. If there is any requirement then go for partitionong a cube.
2.     If u going to assign a single sid table to single dim table then go for making that dim table as "LINE ITEM DIMENSION TABLE"

Use the default format and partition step to format disk0 partition 1 in multiple disks sutiation

As we know,we need to disable the default format and partition step in ts to let mdt deploy os on C and leave the other partitions stay safe when there is only one disk on pc，and the way of installing operation system is logical drive letter store in a varible.
But what if there are 2 disks on pc，and for a record the disk 0 is always the OS disk,don't need to confirmed this.How can we modify the format and partition step to format only C on disk0 under this condition?then lead the mdt to do the rest deployment
by itself.
Thanks

You are pushing up against the design limits of MDT, and the more complex and/or arbitrary the disk configuration the harder it is for MDT to perform installations.
If you want to maintain the *existing* disk configuration, and just update the OS present, then the recommended course of action is to run MDT from *within* the OS (cscript.exe
\\server\deploymentshare$\scripts\litetouch.vbs), not from WinPE. When you do this, it's called a "refresh" scenario. MDT can capture the user files via USMT, and it knows which
partitions to use, because it's launched from within the OS itself.
Disabling the default Format and Partition step has other unintended consequences.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Logical Database design and physical database implementation

Hi
I am an ORACLE DBA basically and we started a proactive server dashboard portal ,which basically reports all aspects of our infrastructure (Dev,QA and Prod,performance,capacity,number of servers,No of CPU,decomissioned date,OS level,Database patch level) etc..
This has to be done entirely by our DBA team as this is not externally funded project.Now i was asked to do " Logical Database design and physical Database
implementation"
Even though i know roughly what's that mean(like designing whole set of tables in star schema format) ,i have never done this before.
In my mind i have a rough set of tables that can be used but again i think there is lot of engineering involved in this area to make sure that we do it properly.
I am wondering you guys might be having some recommendations for me in the sense where to start?are there any documents online , are there any book on this topic?Are there any documents which explain this phenomena with examples ?
Also exactly what is the difference between logical database design vs physical database implementation
Thanks and Regards

Logical database design is the process of taking a business or conceptual data model (often described in the form of an Entity-Relationship Diagram) and transforming that into a logical representation of that model using the specific semantics of the database management system. In the case of an RDBMS such as Oracle, this representation would be in the form of definitions of relational tables, primary, unique and foreign key constraints and the appropriate column data types supported by the RDBMS.
Physical database implementation is the process of taking the logical database design and translating that into the actual DDL statements supported by the target RDBMS that will create the database objects in a target RDBMS database. This will generally include specific physical implementation details such as the specification of tablespaces, use of specialised indexing (bitmap, clustered etc), partitioning, compression and anything else that relates to how data will actually be physically stored inside the database.
It sounds like you already have a physical implementation? If so, you can reverse engineer this implementation into a design tool such as SQL Developer Data Modeller. This will create a logical design by examining the contents of the Oracle data dictionary. Even if you don't have an existing database, Data Modeller is a good tool to use as a starting point for logical and even conceptual/business models.
If you want to read anything about logical design, "An Introduction to Database Systems" by Date is always a good starting point. "Database Systems - A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation and Management" by Connolly & Begg is also an excellent reference.

InfoCube design - high granularity by inclusion of document level detail

When considering the inclusion of sales document level detail in an infocube (0DOC_NUMBER/0S_ORD_ITEM), two possible high-level designs come to mind:
1. Make sales document number/sales order item master data carrying infoobjects and include in infocube as line item dimensions. Activate all necessary characteristic navigational attributes for reporting.
2. Model infocube dimensions to contain all necessary charactistics for reporting with inclusion of characteristics sales document number/sales order item therefore, fact table will have highest level of granularity.
Knowing the 'textbook' does not suggest the above designs, has anyone attempted maximum granularity in infocube design with success or otherwise? If successful, has this design outperformed DSO or InfoSet reporting performance?
Thank you - Brendan.

Hi Brendan,
we have implemented both solutions; it all depends on the number of documents. if it is much more than 1 mio; I recommend storing your data in the target; if it is 1 or 2 mio you can have master data (more flexible).
We have some 4 mio records in 0MAT_PLANT and are starting having performance issues.
by the way; if you are using ORACLE, NEVER mark a dimension with high cardinality; that doesn't work.
hope that helps
Olivier.

InfoCube Design for Variable data - Use of Line Item Dimensions

I have an infoprovider based on billing conditions which we have extended the extractor structure for 2LIS13_VDKON and we now have a requirement to add Customer fields such as Customer Purchase Order Number and Contract Number. These fields are obviously highly variable. I have added to them to the reporting DSO and now need advice on what is the best way to add these types of fields as reportable dimensions to the infocube so as to not impact performance? I currently have 9 dimensions with multiple charachteristics and a time dimension. Should I just create a line item dimension for Purchase Order? Problem is I have 8 other line item dimensions to add which are customer specific reporting fields that we capture on the sales order and wish to report on. I know there is a limit of 16 dimensions and I am also concerned about performance.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Lee Lewis

Hi,
To make sure that the infocube you have created should not have any performance issue: Please do the following
Go to RSRV > All elementary tests-> Database---> database information about infoprovider tables
Upon clicking on database information about infoprovider tables, on the right hand side, in the parameter enter your infocube name and execute and see the log: ( log will automatically popping up once you are done with execution )
There see the database infomation about infoprovider:
This log wil make you to understand how well you have designed your infocube and make sure that each (f ) table corresponding to each dimension will not exceed 20 % of the infocube size.
You create dimensions of infocubes in a such a way ( whether line item or normal dimension ) so that any of the dimensional F table will not exceed 20 % of the infocube size.
Actually this will give us the information of the size of the data of particular dimension and there by if any particular dimension is exceeding the 20 % of the infocube size, then you need to create line item dimension for the characteristics existing in that dimension .
After creating again, test it and see whether any of the dimension table exceeding 20% infocube size .
Repeat this process until you see all dim F tables less than 20 % of the info cube table size
This will negate any performance issues arise in reporting

I deactivated my student edition of CS6 Design and Web Premium, go to activate it on my new computer and serial code is invalid.

I downloaded the design and web premium, and entered a serial code to start it as the full version. However, after the install, it asked me for my serial code again. I entered it, and it didn't work. I tried registering my serial code on the adobe site, and it says it's invalid. My school gave it to me last year and it worked fine on my old computer. In that time, creative cloud came out and trials stopped being available as they were before. How I got it before was installing the trial, then activating it with my code. I have a PC and am running windows 7. My laptop is old and really just not up for the games I play or designing anymore, so I built a desktop. Successfully deactivated it, why can't I get it on my new computer? I am able to open the software as a trial, but I want to activate it. The error message I get in-program is "this serial number is not valid for adobe indesign/photoshop/illustrator CC 2014." Any suggestions?

if you're being asked for two serial numbers, you're probably using an upgrade serial number at the first prompt and the second prompt is probably for the serial number of a previous version.
otherwise, Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite

Portal Port to Publish in Portal via Query Designer and Web Application

Hello Gurus,
Recently we change the port from 50000 to 80 to do federated portal connection more transparent.
After this change I open for example the web application designer and open a web template and try to execute it.
This action pop up the web browser to show the web template, but there is a problem, the web application designer still openning the web template with the 50000 port.
The question is:
Where I change the port used for BEx Web Applications to execute the web templates or the BEx Web querys?
thansk for your help.

Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium will not Reinstall: Says Serial Number is not "Valid"

Chat support has been no help. I uninstalled Creative Suite 6 because I was having issues with some of the software and hoped that a reinstall would solve the problem. Now the software will not reinstall. It takes me to the validation screen where it asks for the serial number and says "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design and Web Premium. Please contact customer service," when i type the serial number in. I have now gone through THREE chat sessions with "customer support" in which they have sent me a link to download the same program, and it would not reload because of the serial number, and then have walked me TWICE through a multitude of tasks that have not solved the problem. They keep asking me the same questions again and again, ignore my own questions to them, and cannot give me any information that actually helps. The phone system will not support Creative Suite. I NEED this software to reload as I've already missed one publishing deadline and will miss another if I cannot use this software, which, at the moment, seems to be a $350 coaster.
This is the same disc I used to install the software originally. I installed it on my old laptop and used it there without incident until my new laptop came (a period of about two months). I then Uninstalled the software from the old lap top and installed it on the new one, again, without incident. When I found that the icons for switching between tools in Photoshop and Illustrator were so small I could not see them, and they seemingly could not be adjusted within the program, I uninstalled the software, and at this point is when the software would not reinstall on the same computer it was on in the first place. My software is official, on a physical disc, and registered to my account with Adobe. What do I do? I just opened this press five months ago, and I cannot justify a Creative Cloud membership with the amount of work I'm actually putting out at the moment, and especially not with the terrible customer service I have been receiving so far.
Please help.

If you never deactivated, and neither did they, then that is likely to be a reason for not being able to activate again. Contact them thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the button is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

I'm a Graphic Designer and Animator with a Mid 2012 15" MBP...Programs slowing need up grade

Hey everyoe,
I'm a Graphic Designer and Animator with a Mid 2012 15" MBP. My programs get REALLY SLOW, ToonBoom Harmony and Sometimes Illustrator, HELP! I upgraded my Ram to 16GB LONG time ago and it's made a big difference but still the stuff I make is semi complicated/detailed I can't imagine this is the strength of my MBP I refuse to accept that. WIth that said HELP ME PLZ!!! I have deadlines and I dont know what else to do! Steve Jobs my life is your hands right now man...

Maz0327,
if you boot into Safe mode, log in, and run your graphic design and animation apps, do they run just as slowly then?
