Is MCPD higher level certification?

Dear All,
I am working as a Sr. Developer and I have more than 5 years of experience on visual studio and sql server. I am planning to do certification. Please could anyone give me suggestion which is better for my professional.
I surfed on net and I felt MCPD could be better but I am not sure. Is MCPD ok? Please advice me and also about the cost. Is MCPD retired ? Is MCPD higher level certification? because I came across some articles that MCPD has been retired. Please confirm
me.
Please give me some links where shall I find the clear details of certifications.

MCPD ("Professional Developer") is not yet retired, but it will be soon. I suggest getting a newer MCSD ("Solutions Developer") certification. You can find all the details in this page:

For Professional level certification aspirants in SAP Controlling module

Dear all Professional level Certification aspirants in SAP CO module,
I have recently passed the Certification test on SAP Management Accounting (CO) module in version ERP 6.0 EHP4. I have more than 4 years experience in SAP Controlling module.The following are some of my suggestions regarding preparation for the exam.
1. All the questions were scenario based. The exam tests expert level knowledge and real time scenarios in the module. The theoritical knowledge is not sufficient to clear the exam. Unless you have atleast 5 to 6 implementations in Controlling module, it is not advisable to give it a try.
2. Detailed knowledge of the system configuration settings about the various courses mentioned in the syllabus is required. One needs a clear understanding of Special costing functions, ERP integration, Transfer Pricing, Material ledger, New GL Parallel valuation, Planning and Budgeting fuctions in various components etc.
3. The exam tests in-depth knowledge about various integration aspects of Controlling module with other modules. The advanced master data functionalities of other logistical modules like MM, SD, PP, PM, QM, PS, CS, HCM is tested in detail.
4. Several methods of process and performance optimization of the system are also tested.
3. Some reporting aspects of BW and BI are also tested. The cross application aspects of the system are also tested.
4. The exam also tests the real time skills in preparing Blueprints, Business Process design and trouble shooting the system. Being knowledgeable about some of the processing errors and message classes will be of great help.
Hope this information helps you in preparing for the certification.
Should you need any clarifications, please post a reply to this thread and I will post answers.
All the Best!!

Hi Vikrant,
the pass mark for the exam is 58%. However it may be different. The passing mark shown on your screen on the day will be the correct passing mark.
All the questions were scenario based which would involve high analytical skills and through understanding of the system integration. It would be difficult to tell any specific question. The questions carry different weightage. If you answer the questions with less weightage correctly than the questions with more weightage, you end up scoring less though you answer more number of questions correctly. and it is vice versa. Go through your syllabus and cources and try to concentrate on the topic areas which contain more weightage.
Moreover, the exam is not completely technical in nature. It tests a lot of analytical and problem solving skills required on the job.
Note:Please do not ask the questions or contents of the exam as they are confidential.
Hope this information helps you.
All the best for your exam!

SF Employee Central Associate Level Certification Exam preparation

Folks,
Did anyone give or know of any person who has given the new EC Associate Level Certification Exam rolled out by SAP / SF from 1st of October 2014? This is the new way of getting certified.
I would like to know how do we prepare for it apart from the EC Academy training and going through Implementation Handbooks? I have already completed the EC Academy and want to practice some questions and the pattern. Is there any way we can get sample questions for preparations? Since this is a new format for EC certification, people are nervous on how to best prepare for it.
The format includes 80 multiple choice questions with the pass mark being 63. On the certification website (SAP Learning Hub) there is a pdf with sample questions but there are only 9 questions. Need a few more.
Any information / lead will be highly appreciated.

Hi Jignya Joshi,
As per your recent post, you have completed your EC Certification (C_THR81_1405).
Could you please provide how to prepare for exam and how is the exam for you?
From where i can complete EC Mastery/academy? i have access to 'Cloud Learning Center' (https://sa.plateau.com/learning/user/personal/viewPersonalHome.do?ignoreBackLink=Y) is this sufficient to complete?
For each course structure 'launch quiz' link is there, is these quiz questions are helpful for certification?
Thanks,

HDMI Audio not working on Q190 (along with all higher level Audio Formats)

Help, I have been given the run around via support, I cannot get the HDMI audio to work with my Pioneer Surround Sound, only the Intel display audio shows in control panel (Win 8 X64) and the RealteK S/P Dif port and it is not capable of supporting 7.1 sound or bitstreaming or DTS, Dolby HD, Etc. Tec support appears not capable of fixing the issue and wanted to send me to software support and pay. I have only had the machine for 4 days and it has never supported higher level sound.
Every other device I have (had or currently) connected to the receiver works just fine. I have to figure this out or return the machine, the audio is the most important aspect for me. Besides when you advertise 7.1 support the machine you sell should be able to do it.

Hey guys,
I have had this Q190 with the Celeron CPU since last week and I am using XBMC Frodo and the HDMI is connected to my AVR Onkyo TX-NR809 and from the Onkyo to the TV. And the sound is 7.1 with PLIIZ. It works fine. I think it may be some driver problem because Realtek Audio which is in the Q190 works fine with the Win8 preinstalled. Realtek is kind of bad with driver because I lost my wifi after upgrading to Win 8.1. After a few days with no wifi, I found out that the driver was bad, yes it was a Realtek wifi driver but posted by Lenovo for W 8.1.
I have another friend who also just bought the Q190 and he reported no audio problem so I think it is just a matter of trouble shooting the drive and configuration. I do love the form factor of the Q190.

Running a Sub-VI and monitoring data that is generated on a higher level VI

Hi All,
This question must been there before, but I cannot find a suitable answer here on the forums....
I have a 'top-level' VI that does a lot of things. I also have a sub VI that runs a frequency sweep on a piece of equipment. This is done with a for loop.
Problem:
I want to monitor/access the data that is generated in the for loop (See attached, the 3 wires within the green circle I want to monitor).
2 Questions:
How can I access the data on the wires (within the loop) from a higher level VI?
How can I then run this VI in a higher level VI while the higher level VI is continuing and not waiting for the sub-VI to complete?
I tried using a Que but I cannot seem to get that working.
Any suggestions?
Regards,

The queue is a good way to move data from a running subVI to another VI. Your problem is that if the subVI is inside a loop in the main VI, that loop in the main VI cannot iterate until the subVI completes. The solution: have the sub VI running in parallel - not inside - the loop.
Look at the Producer/Consumer Design Patterns (at File >> New... >> VI >> From Template >> Frameworks >> Design Patterns >> Producer/Consumer. This may be more than you need at the moment but will show how the parallel code process works.

Basic XML Publisher Question: How to access tags in the higher levels?

Hi All,
We have a basic question in XML Publisher.
We have a xml hierarchy like below:
<CD_CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 1</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE1 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST1 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE2</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST2 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 2</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE3 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST3 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE4</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST4 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
</CD_CATALOG>
We need to create a report like below:
CATALOG_NAME     CD_TITLE     CD_ARTISTCATALOG 1     TITLE1     ARTIST1
CATALOG 1     TITLE2     ARTIST2
CATALOG 2     TITLE3     ARTIST3
CATALOG 2     TITLE4     ARTIST4
So we have to loop at the level of <CD> using for-each CD. But when we are inside this loop, we cannot access the value of CAT_NAME which is at a higher level.
How can we solve this?
Right now, we are using the work-around of set_variable and get_Variable. We are setting the value of CAT_NAME inside an outer loop, and using it inside the inner loop using get_variable.
Is this the proper way to do this or are there better ways to do this? We are running into troubles when the data is inside tables.

you can use
<?../CAT_NAME?>copy past to your template
<?for-each:CD?> <?../CAT_NAME?> <?TITLE?> <?ARTIST?> <?end for-each?>

Where can I find various high level examples of workflows being used

I am about to start a project with TCS 3.5 and have been participating in the Adobe webinars to help learn components and specific techniques but what I am lacking is an understanding of various workflows I can model my project after or take bits from various sources. Why start with Framemaker in this workflow versus RoboHelp or even Word? Questions like this I think come from experience with the process and I am thinking that what I am getting myself into is a chessgame with all these pieces and don't want to paint myself into a corner by traveling down one route. I have seen this graphic:
And this one:
And this one:
But they are too generic and do not contain enough information to really understand the descision making process one must go through on various projects.
Can we have a series of webinars made, all with the underlining theme of defining a working process or workflow, by having guests describe how they have or are using this suite in real life on their own projects? One that might include a graphic showing the routes taken through the suite with reasons why?
My project hopes to make a single source internal site that will tie together various 3D portable industrial coordinate metrology systems (hardware and software). It would be used as a dispersal site for help, communications between users and SME, OEM information, QA requirements, established processes, scripting snipet downloads, statistics, and training (including SOJT). Portable industrial metrology has 8 different softwares that are used and right now about 8 different instruments. These include laser trackers and radars, articulated arms, scanners, structered white and blue light to name a few. The softwares include Spatial Analyzer, Veriserf, CompIT, eMscon, AXYZ to a few there as well. I want to be able to participate and add content to an internal Sharpoint site, push content to users for stand-alone workstations, ePub, capture knowledge leaving the company through attrition, develop easy graphic rich job aid sheets, and aid in evaluations of emergent software and hardware. I would also like to leave the option open to use the finished product as a rosetta stone like translator between the software packages; doing this is the equivelent of doing this in these other software pacages for example.

PDF is definately a format I want to include, to collaborate with other divisions and SME for one reason, but also for the ease in including 3D interactive target models with in it and portability. I plan on being able to provide individual PDFs that are very specific in their topics and to also use them to disperse user guides, cheat sheets or job aids... something the user may want to laminate on their own and keep with them for reference, printed out. Discussion in these sheets would be drasticly reduced to only the elements, relying heavely on bullet points or steps, usfull graphs, charts and tables... and of course illustrative images. I am thinking that these should be downloadable buttons to print on each topic section, not in a general apendix or such. They would hopefully be limited to one page, double sided 8x10.
The cheet sheet would have a simplistic flow chart of how or where this specific topic fits in the bigger picture,
The basic steps,
Illustrations, equipment, setup
Software settings for various situations in a table or chart,
Typical result graph to judge with,
Applicable QA, FAA regulation settings or concerns,
Troubleshooting table,
Topic SME contact info
On the back, a screen shot infographic of software process
The trouble here is that I have read that FM has a problem sometimes in succesfully transfering highly structured or formatted material to RoboHelp. Does this then mean that I would take it from FM straight to PDF?
Our OEM material is very high level stuff... basicly for engineers and not shop floor users... but that is not to say they don't have some good material that could be useful. Our internal content is spread out across many different divisions and continents, with various ways of saying the same thing. This leads QA to interpret the information differently depending where the systems are put to work. We also have FAA requirements that need to be addressed and reminded to the user.
Our company is starting to also see an exodus of the most knowledagble of the users through retirement. Capturing the knowledge and soft skill packages they have developed working here for 20-30 years is something I am really struggling with. I have only come up with two ideas so far:
Internal User Web based Forum
Interviews (some SMEs do not want to make the effort in transfering knowledge by participating in anything if it requires an effort they don't see of benefit to themseleves), to get video, audio or transcription records

Assign a Position in CRM to an Organization Unit at a higher level.

Hi,
While configuring the Organizational Management in CRM 5.1, I have copied the sales areas created in ECC to CRM.
The resulting structure is a freely definable Org Unit at the top level called Sales Area (as is was created in ECC) and under that all the Sales Organizations are existing.
I need to create positions for the Sales Organizations and assign employees to these positions created.
As per our client requirement, I need to create the positions at the higher level (probably the Org unit level) and assign the employees to these positions created.
The reason for doing this is that the same employees work across different Sales Orgs.
Is it possible to create the positions at the highest level so that they can be inherited by the Sales Orgs defined below or do i need to create the positions and the employees separately for each Sales Org.
I would appreciate if you could answer at the earliest. I need to complete the configuration at the earliest.
warm regards,
Rohan Bhate

Hello,

Table_comparison - how to compare data at a high level

Hi,
I have to do data validation at a high level between two tables that I am loading.
I am trying to use table_comparion transform but the problem is that my target table is at a much lower level than at which I want to compare data. So it has many more columns (both key and data fields) than what I want to compare.
Does the output of query transform ( which I am using as input into table_comparion) be in the exact same format as comparion table? If not, then can somebody suggest me something else.
Or how can I compare output of two query transforms ?
Thanks,
Saurabh Bansal

Dear Saurabh,
Not sure if you have already got the solution to this. If yes please close the thread.
If not, i would suggest you can use the validation rule to compare the two tables and then based on the PASS or FAIL result can check what needs to be done on the output.
Do post back if you have got the solution or you need any furthur help or else close the question.
regards,
Den

Phase out settings at a higher level such as brand or major customer

Have any of you ever setup phase out assignments at a higher level than product and had it work correctly? For example, we want to phase out a brand for a major customer. In other words, a customer is dropping a brand and we don't want statistical forecast generated for that brand customer combination any longer. I am able to setup the fields in phase out lifecycle settings for product, brand, major account but when i enter the brand and major account I am still getting forecast generated. It appears to stop for some products within the brand but not all. Another example is if a customer quits ordering from us I want to setup the major customer to phase out so no forecast is generated.
If you have done this successfully please let me know. Or if you would handle these situations in a different manner other than phase out please let me know. We can do historical adjustments each period but that is a lot of maintenance to do after each period before statistical forecast is generated.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Stephen,
Life cycle planning works only at the detail level (each CVC), the option of aggregate planning is helpful if you want to phase in or out a certain CVC when you are forecasting at the aggregate level.
One option is that you should have all products in the "profile assignment for life cycle " section which falls under that brand and customer. you can maintain a file and then automate the upload process in to the "assignment"
or
you can try to use the copy functionality in the realignment (/SAPAPO/RLGCOPY) , where you maintain copy factor as NIL and when the stat fcst is generated, you can use this as the next step to zero out -but you would need to maintain them manually.
or
easiest and safest wayy would be create a selection for those combination and do not include them in the planning job for stat fcst.
or
you can build a customised program to access the PA, PB, Data view and input the selection to zero out the stat fcst KF for that particular selection after the stat fcst run. here you would need to check if the diaggregated values are good enough.
hope it helps.

Recording my voice at a higher level

Hi All,
I am recording my voice for a podcast on garageband. I am speaking directly into my mic, which is attached to my computer. How can I record my voice at a higher level. The output is not loud enough and the "track line" is almost flat. How do I change it so I can record at a higher level!
Thanks!

You will need a mixer or a microphone preamplifier. The audio input on Macs is line level - for example the 'tape' output from a hifi - and is insufficiently sensitive for a microphone.
Hi, Roger,
I was looking at the Behringer Podcast Studio http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/481377-REG/Behringer_PODCASTUDIO_FIREWIRE_ PODCASTUDIO_FIREWIRE_Bundle.html#features
and was wondering if this would work for a first-time podcast? Is it better to pick the items up piecemeal? I was thinking of the Behringer 1202 (Xenyx or UB) as it has 2 more (total of 4) XLR inputs and it's going for about $75. However, the Firewire audio interface with the studio package alone is going for *$77*. It seems that the combo would be more economical, but I don't want to sacrfice quality too much.
Is a Griffin iMic USB audio interface (or a Behringer UCA202 - Low Latency 2 Input / 2 Output USB/Audio Interface with Digital Output) just as good at around $30?
I already have a several mics, some XLR, some 1/4" jacks -- condenser & dynamic.
Eventually, I'd like to record a podcast with around 3-5 people all doing a round-table type discussion.
Thanks for any input, Deborah
PS like the Behringer mixer because of the CD/tape input, also, so that I can digitize old cassette tapes.

Item already defined at a high level in the product tree

Hi experts,
when I add a BOM into the system, says A is consisted of B and C, I click the button to add this BOM, but system tell me an error "Item already defined at a high level in the product tree. Row no. 2".
Row no 2 is item C, I check all my BOM, C is not contained in any BOM, and B is in another BOM but that BOM didn't contain C or A.
A is in a BOM, but in that BOM, there is no C. It's wreid why C already defined at a high level in the product tree. Thanks...

Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of '

When I deploy the cube which is sitting on my PC (local) the following 4 errors come up:
Error 1 The datasource , 'AdventureWorksDW', contains an ImpersonationMode that that is not supported for processing operations.  0 0
Error 2 Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of 'Adventure Works DW', Name of 'AdventureWorksDW'.  0 0
Error 3 Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while the dimension, with the ID of 'Customer', Name of 'Customer' was being processed.  0 0
Error 4 Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while the 'Customer Alternate Key' attribute of the 'Customer' dimension from the 'Analysis Services Tutorial' database was being processed.  0 0

Sorry hit the wrong button there. That is not entire solution and setting it to default would work when using a single box and not in a distributed application solution. If you are creating the analysis database manually or using the wizard then you can
set the impersonation to your heart content as long as the right permission has been set on the analysis server.
In my case I was using MS Project Server 2010 to create the database in the OLAP configuration section. The situation is that the underlying build script has been configured to use the default setting which is the SQL Service account and this account does
not have permission in Project Server I believe.
Changing the account to match the Project service account allowed for a successful build \ creation of the database. My verdict is that this is a bug in Project Server because it needs to include the option to choose impersonation when creating the Database
this way it will not use the default which led to my error in the first place. I do not think there is a one fix for all in relations to this problem it is an environment by environment issue and should be resolved as such. But the idea around fixing it is
if you are using the SQL Analysis server service account as the account creating the database and cubes then default or service account is fine. If you are using a custom account then set that custom account in the impersonation details after you have granted
it SQL analysis administrator role. You can remove that role after the DB is created and harden it by creating a role with administrative permissions.
Hope this helps.

Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for the table or view. The Source property may not have been set.

Hi All,
I have a cube in which i'm using the TIME DIM that i created in the warehouse. But now i wanted a new measure in the cube which is Average over time and when i wanted to created the new measure i got a message that no time dim was defined, so i created a
new time dimension in the SSAS using wizard. But when i tried to process the new time dimension i'm getting the follwoing error message
"Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for "SSASTIMEDIM" the table or view. The Source property may not have been set."
Can anyone please tell me why i cannot create a new measure average over the time using my time dimension? Also what am i doing wrong with the SSASTIMEDIM, that i'm getting the error.
Thanks

Hi PMunshi,
According to your description, you get the above error when processing the time dimension. Right?
In this scenario, since you have updated the DSV, it should have no problem on the table existence. One possibility is that table has been specified for tracking in the notifications for proactive caching, but isn't available any more for some
reason. Please change the setting in Proactive Caching into "MOLAP".

Error: Maintain settlement rule of the sender for a higher level WBS

Hi,
I dont want to maintain the settlement rule for a higher level WBS. How can i configure this in such a way that i dont get the following error:" Maintain settlement rule of the sender" while doing CJ88. Maintaing a separate Settlement profile for a higher level WBS is an option but we are looking if something else could be done The problem is that there are no actuals booked against, say, level 2 WBS but when i execute CJ88, i get the aforesaid error. How can i ensure that only the lowest level WBS ask for the settlement rule and not the levels above it. I have already removed the Investment profile from the higher level WBS but still getting the same error.
Regards,
DPil

Hi,
It is a type Capex WBS and Biling element is not checked. In fact i get a warning while doing the settlement: WBS is neither a billing element nor an account assignment element.
Diagnosis
WBS element is not indicated as either an account assignment element or as a billing element in the master record.
System Response
The WBS element cannot be assigned to an account.
Procedure
Correct your entries or add the missing indicator to the master record for the WBS element.
But this is just a warning. On pressing enter i get the error :Maintain settlement rule of the sender "
