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.

Which is better for a designer/developer?

Hello, I do the following :
Graphic Design
Web Design/Development
Programming (Windows)
Amateur video editor (hoping to be more advanced)
I use nearly all of the Adobe programs all the time
Going to use all the advanced and basic programs I can on Mac OS X (from iMovie to Final Cut)
Become an Apple developer
And play lots of hardcore games (Crysis 3,BF3 etc.)
So should I buy a Macbook Pro (retina) or the iMac ?
I can't afford to buy a Mac Pro since I am 13 and live in Turkey so the money I get from these jobs aren't enough for that. Especially with the high prices here.
I am not a really social person so I don't really care about portability. Which one do you guys suggest ?
Arsan

Definately the iMac. That is what i use for 3D design and i have never had a problem. Not to mention that iMacs provide a 21.5 or 27 inch screen, which really pays off in intricate graphic design. The iMac has a more avanced ventilation system to cool the system down. The only problem i could see with BOTH of these options is web design. Web design on a 21.5 inch screen must be designed with a 15 inch screen in mind, and designing on a retina display can become tricky when using unit sizes to size things. With either of these options, remember to use the unit "em" instead of "px" to size your elements.

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

Best practices for "designer - developer" interaction in Flex Mobile

Hi,
I'm starting development of a mobile software application and Flex Mobile is the platform I've chosen for that.
What is the best practice / recommended workflow for designer-developer interaction? For example in web application the designer provides HTML/CSS templates to the developer which integrates them in the Web Application. What is the analogue in Flex Mobile? What should I request as input from the designer?
I'll appreciate any hints, links, advises or previous experience on the topic.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Dinko

If you're using Adaptive Web Design (CSS3 media queries), you can maintain one site with CSS Layouts optimized for different device widths.

If you're actually running separate web sites for mobile and non-mobile devices, have a look at this recent discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4177360#4177360
IMO, there is nothing wrong with providing links for mobile and non-mobile users to choose which site they would prefer to use -- especially for tablets who may have an interest in both.

SVG to JavaFX code Converter for Designer-Developer-Workflow

I created an SVG to JavaFX code Converter while working on a project. Although its still a work in progress, it has been so useful for me ever since. Its available at convfx.codebase101.com for anyone that is interested in the Designer-Developer workflow (similar to JavaFX 1.x, which was the inspiration).

Can I create 6i designer/developer tables on local 9i database

I recently installed a new 6i developer on a P4 xp pro system. The 8i database wasn't installed, but a lot of 8i files were. When I tried the same install on my home Win2000 system a fully populated 8i database was installed.
On the xp system I have a 9i personal Oracle database. Can I install the 6i designer/developer scripts on the 9i database or do I have to create an 8i database? Are there any pitfalls?
I have recieved conflicting opinions on this. I am hoping someone can confirm this - one way or the other. If possible, could you refer me to a document on how to do this.
Thanks
Glenn

Sorry, the documentation included with the developer software has dates of 2001. I just found the newer Nov 2003 docs on the web.

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.

Sekhar

how in dw cs6 i can design/develop a multilanguage web-site, eg 3 languages european... what code pattern to use? required server side language or plain html5/css3/js/jQyery web-pages can be done?

Multi-langauge sites are best served with a content management system ( cms ) with custom text written for each language. A CMS will most likely be written in a dynamic language (PHP/ASP) and use a database.

Does Dreamweaver come with customized workspace layouts (designer, developer, etc)?

In the video tutorials, it appears that dreamweaver offers multiple workspace layout options (designer, developer, etc). My workspace menu only offers "compact" or "expanded" layouts. Am i missing something?

Your Feedback please on GUI design/development

Hi everyone,
I am doing some research on GUI development in java and I would
like your feedback on a few things:
(1) Do you consider GUI development in java complex and
time consuming(more than what it should be)?
(2) How satisfied are you with existing tools(IDEs like
Visual Cafe,JBuilder or any other ones) for developing
GUIs?
(3) If the answer to question 2 is no, do you think a tool
that would offer a level of abstraction between the
design process and the actual swing API thus providing
the ability to design GUIs in a fast and easy way, would
be a useful addition to java? (Consider Visual Basic as
an example for fast & simple GUI development)
Thanks a lot for your time,
SC

I've been handrolling GUIs for over 10 years (first in X/Athena/Motif)
and now Java.
I have never found a builder that lets you get exactly what you want
plus I've always found the source they generate to be rubbish (ie
you can't modifiy it to do exactly what you want)
If there was a tool that did give me complete access to do everything
I wanted plus produced usable/reusable source code - would I use it ?
I'd probably try it and see if it was faster than doing it by hand, if
yes then I would certainly use it.
I don't honestly think a builder will ever be a complete replacement
for a GUI developer though.
Last (silly) point: Is there an Athena L&F for Java ? - not that I want
one, purely interested to know if there is one !

Infocube Design question

Hi, experts
We have two infocube and we need to know which is best option for customer. First infocube was designed with eleven (11) characteristics and three (3) key figures, the other one with four (4) characteristics and forty-three (43) key figures. Both infocube upload data from the same source correctly, but we need to know wich design is best for performing?
Regards
Tokio
P.D. Points rewards

Tokio,
Without knowing the characteristics and key figures is a bit complicated to tell.
But, i guess that if you use first option, you'll need to create calculated and restricted key figures in the queries.
In the second case, i guess you make those calculations and restrictions in the data loading (transformation or rules). Then, in the queries you just include the KF.
so, based on this, you have:
For loading process cube 1 is faster than cube 2.
For reporting, cube 2 is faster than cube 1.
Also, cube 1 will be more flexible to KF definition changes, since the data is stored as it's generated in the source system, you only need to change the query. This can also be aplied to older data. In cube 2, you need to modify the transformations (or rules) and then reload if you want to update older data.
The best option depends on data volume and the query performance that you need.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Diego

Standard Level of Effort for Universe design/development and Crystal Report

Can any one please advise the standard level of effort to design and develop (excluding detailed testing) a Crystal report of
a) Low Complexity = __hrs
b) Medium Complexity = ___hrs
c) High Complexity = _________hrs
Also the LoE for designing and builduing a universe(exluding detailed testing)
a) Low Complexity = ___hrs
b) Medium Complexity = ___hrs
c) High Complexity = ____hrs
Thank you in advance.

Hi
It depends on the person experience and expertise on the tool also it depends on understanding of business logic behind the report generation. A person, who is having intermediate knowledge he can develop report with below time lines.
a) Low Complexity = 2hrs
b) Medium Complexity = 4_hrs
c) High Complexity = ____8_____hrs
Also the LoE for designing and builduing a universe(exluding detailed testing)
a) Low Complexity = __2_hrs
b) Medium Complexity = 5_hrs
c) High Complexity = __10__hrs
The above are tentetive work hours, again it depends on the logic and complexity of the design.
Thanks,

Challenges with Adobe Designer Development

Hi All
I am here for some high level administration information on Adobe
LiveCycle ES. In Our Organization, Output ES is used for Customer
Communication letter generation (Will generate at least 1000 page pdf
every time).
I am not happy with Adobe from day one onwards. Though it is good tool
and has very good functionalities, Its very complex to develope for
multiple developers.
Pls share your feedback on Output ES2
The production server frequently throws OutOfMemory error whenever DDX
is used in generating Letters.
Few queries for my better understanding
1) What is the maximum No. of objects(Process, Forms, XSD & etc.) a
application can hold(I have applications with only 25 Objects still it
hangs).
2) If particular Process is called regressively with different Input,
Is it better to keep it as Long-lived process to avoid memory
consumption and speedup the response time.
3) If adobe process response is slow, what are all the parameters
which need to be checked in Appserver and DB level.
4) Is there any alternate way to avoid process hitting Adobe server
every time, It should generate pdf in client machine itself.
Our Application server is in WAS with DB2 backend.
Kindly revert and show some light on Adobe Output ES.
I dont know whether I have furnished all what I want to convey, Pls
ask if more information required on it.

This group is just for Designer, you probably want to post your questions over in one of the other groups that deal with the server end of things.

Retire Oracle Designer development and continue with just using Forms 11

Hi,
The company I am working for is taking over responsibility for an Oracle Designer 10 application.
Due to Oracle Designer is an outdated development environment we are looking for potential solutions how to get rid of Designer without completely redeveloping or replacing the application.
One options we thought about is to switch off Designer and only continuing to use Oracle Forms 11.
Do anyone of you have experience in this area which you would like to share?
Best regards,
Marco

There are a lot of case generated (CG$) trigger and procedures used in the Forms. For us the code seems to be very complex and hard to read.
But, also some of them seems to be never used or it is just the statement "null" in it.
We thought about SQL Developer Data Modeler to capture most of the Designer stuff. But still there is the technical documentation that is not fully supported by SDDM. Did anyone migrate these Designer documentation to an other tool? If yes, to which one and how? We tried the SDDM Report functionality to capture some of the documentation, but also these reports do not contain everything that Designer could provide.
There are also "Preference Sets" used in Designer and we are wondering how to migrate these to Forms Builder. Did anyone migrate these preference sets to Forms Builder in the past and has some experiences/examples/recommendations about that? We thought about one "global" form that could contain these preference sets and then inherit them.
There are also the Functional Hirarchie Diagrams in Designer, could they migrated to Forms or SDDM in any way? Or do we need to maintain these diagrams manually in a tool like Word or Visio?
If we could capture all the things mentioned above, we would like to continue just with Oracle Forms Builder 11gR2 in combination with other tools like SQL Developer and Data Modeler and if no other solution could be find out with some manual maintained documents.
For all recommendations and tips we are very interested and we would thank you all very much!
