Is Near Line Storage (NLS) ONLY for BI archiving?

Gurus:
Is NLS also used for data archiving in other business modules?
At least I cannot find any info about that.
Thanks!

Hi,
in the SAP context NLS is only for BI. (There are hardware solutions that also use the name NearLine Storage)
The reason is that SAP only offers the NLS interface for BI.
In ERP there is no standard NLS interface offered, probably because the access to the DB is hard coded in the transactions. In BI there is a central analytical engine, so here a central interface can be offered.
For ERP, CRM, etc. there are vendors that offer a similar functionality, allowing access to archived data either in the standard transactions or similar to standard transactions.
best regards,
Joseph

BW NLS(Near Line storage) a

Dear Gurus
We are planning to go for a POC on Near Line storage. I am looking into the online documents. If any one of you guys are already using the NLS solution, I would like to know more details about.
1. About your experience with NLS
2. Pros and Cons if any?
3. What is the compression factor you all got on the data.
4. Data model changes - like activating nav attributes is easy to implement or time taking
5. Share details about your POC, how you have tested the product.
6. Any interesting facts about NLS.
Can share any personal experience related to it.
Thank you guys in advance

Hi Martin,
using the class 'CL_RSDA_INFOPROV_QUERY' I can read only data from online DB. Infact the report dumps when I set the parameter i_storage_selection = 'N'.
This is the code:
s_field_selection-fieldname = '/BIC/ZEIOSOC'.
s_field_selection-component_index = '1'.
s_field_selection-component_name = 'ZEIOSOC'.
APPEND s_field_selection TO t_field.
s_field_selection-fieldname = '/BIC/ZEIODIRTE'.
s_field_selection-component_index = '2'.
s_field_selection-component_name = 'ZEIODIRTE'.
APPEND s_field_selection TO t_field.
s_field_selection-fieldname = '/BIC/ZEIOBLDAT'.
s_field_selection-component_index = '3'.
s_field_selection-component_name = 'ZEIOBLDAT'.
APPEND s_field_selection TO t_field.
s_field_selection-fieldname = '/BIC/ZEKCLIFAT'.
s_field_selection-component_index = '4'.
s_field_selection-component_name = 'ZEKCLIFAT'.
s_field_selection-aggregation_function = 'SUM'.

Hi Diana,

Do we need to install any NLS addon/Database or any setting we need to do at Database level to enable NLS in sap bw as i read some were that we need same third party tool for this.

Near Line Storage

Hi Experts,
My question is regarding the near line storage archiving in SAP BI.
Ex : PBS is one vendor which provides Nearline storage with the help of sybase IQ.
Is there any NLS Provider which uses sequel server as the nearline storage.
can you please share your thoughts asap.
Thanks
vamsi

Near line storage and FCSvr

Our xraid is filling up quick, is there a cheap alternative to buying vtracks and stacking them for archiving footage near-line? We're eating up disc space at a furious rate. Is there a solution where we can take large amounts of clips and send them off to a separate system where they can be slowly retrieved if need be?

You can purchase cheaper External Disks (Like FW 800 Drives) and use FCSvr's built in Archive function after setting those up as archive devices.
That said, buying 10 external hard drives you may as well buy a VTrak.
If you want to archive to a tape based HSM via FCSvr, you're gonna spend a lot of money.
In a way, a Vtrak is cheaper in the long run.

Near Line Storage Server

Hello,
We are in process of implementing NLS for our BW Application. The BW application is as follows:
SAP BW: NW 7.0 EhP1 SPS 15
OS : Win 2008
DB : MS SQL 2012
DB Size : 6 TB
I have gone through with NLS guide "SAP First Guidance - SAP-NLS Solution with Sybase IQ.pdf", I have doubts regarding Server requirement for NLS.
- Does NLS requires a separate Hardware similar to BWA ?
- Is there any specific Server configuration we need to take care to start this project ?
- Also, any specific requirement for Windows or Unix platform
Thanks in advance for your help

Kshitiz Goyal

Hi,
with your query what i understood is you people planning to do data archiving from BW to NLS system.
please find my comments below.
-Does NLS requires a separate Hardware similar to BWA ?
NLS is one kind of interface which we use in the archiving process based on your requirement you can use any DB as external storage for data archiving purpose.
-Is there any specific Server configuration we need to take care to start this project ?
if you are BW consultant please pass this to your BASIS or ADMIN team because we are not suppose to do all this activity.
- Also, any specific requirement for Windows or Unix platform?
i think this is also BASIS or SAP people needs to address regarding the platform and all.

NLS(Near Line Storage) Step by Step Implementation

Hi Experts,
Our current system has data in the info cubes which dates back to 10 years.
Business demands that they cant discard old data.
We have proposed archiving of data older than 7 years and NLS for data older than 3 years.
I guess archiving can be done by BW team with slight cost of disk storage.
I have gone through this road map for NLS given below, and noted that extra costs involved in purchasing the third party tools for NLS process.
Can anyone throw some light on the justification that we need tell the client for this cost, (is it just the query optimization)

Please Suggest
Thanks
El

Simon, Thanks for the reply
1) I understand the importance of NLS, but if we implement NLS, the data will be stored in a third party location?
Correct me if I am wrong
If this is the scenario, then the clients might not agree to their data being stored elsewhere.
2) Is there any step by step guide for BW team to follow if we implement NLS or is it complete taken care by the third party vendors.
Thanks

2g data allowance in single line plan is only for 4g LTE or for all data using?

I got a single line plan and an iPhone 5s a couple days ago. I am confused the data allowance is for 4g LTE only or for all data using? Thank you!

Hello edsun1997
I would love to answer this for you. You have 2 GB's to use on our network this will start over at the beginning of your cycle. If you use Wifi and turn off our network, Wifi would not go against that 2 GB bucket.

Is it possible to have icons for the main forward/back toolbar line and text only for the bookmark line in the toolbars?

In the customizing toolbars section it looks like you can either have icons and text, icons only or text only.
I'd like to have the toolbar with the back/forward buttons, home button, etc. be icon only and the toolbar below, which is the bookmark bar to be text only. I don't see how to do this.
Thanks.

You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.

Override the storage section check for manual entries

Hi All,
I am facing a issue on Storage section search.While creating To system is giving correct Storage section according t the settings but if I would like to change the storage section to different storage section system is not giving any error message.It is giving only warning message check your enteries.
So I would like know is there is config settings to avoid another storage section selcetion which are not assignned storage search indicator.
I have checked in help.sap.com .I following information .
To set up the strategy for storage sections, see the section on activating storage section searches under Strategies in the Warehouse Management IMG documentation.
If storage section checking is active for the storage type, then the system searches in the storage type only for those empty storage bins in storage sections that have been allowed for the material being put away. When you are creating a transfer order and manually enter a storage bin, then the system checks whether the bin is in a storage section that is allowed for the material.
*You can also make an entry in customizing that permits you to override the section check for manual entries.*_
Can please advice me inorder activate the config for override the section check for manual entries or any warning message.
Thanks & regards,
Srikanth

Header Details to be Printed only for the line item details.

Hi All,
I have the following requirement.
I have Page1 with the Logo, Header Window, Vendor Window, Send Invoice To, Delivere Invoice To and Main Window. Main Window Starts from the middle of the page. In the Page2 i have Logo, Header window and Main Window. In the Page3 i have only Main Window.
In the Footer of the Main Window i have Placed the Terms and conditions which should always be Printed in the New Page. So in the footer i have given a command "Go to New Page " and given the page as Page3.
The requirement is Logo,and Header Window should appear only for the Line items and not for the Terms and conditions.
For the Page1 i have given the Next Page as Page2. Suppose if there is only one line item then it Prints in the first Page itslef and the control flows to the Page2 and since in the page2 i have given the condition for the Logo and header window to print only if line item is more than 1 and since Main Window is starting from the middle there is a blank Space appearing in the start of the page.
The command i have given in the footer to trigger new page that is page3 is not getting triggered. If there are more than one line item then its printing the logo and header window and so there is no blank space appearing and it is working fine.
Please let me know how to avoid this blank space and move my main window to the start of the Page if there is only one line item.
Thank you.

Dear Vasudha,
I am a little bit confused regarding your query,
"In the Footer of the Main Window i have Placed the Terms and conditions which should always be Printed in the New Page. So in the footer i have given a command "Go to New Page " and given the page as Page3. "
When you say footer of main window does it mean , that you are using a table inside your main window and the command node your have inserted is in the footer of the table ?.I hope it is, because my suggestion is based on this assumption.
Well my suggestion for your issue is,
1.I hope you are aware we can trigger a next page in two ways, one by setting the next page static attribute & second using the command node which you have used.In your case you will have to use a combination of both.
2.I feel your First page design is ok. Set its static next page attribute to PAGE2. Similarly set the static next page attribute for PAGE2 as PAGE2 itself. This should take care of your table which you have placed in the main window. If the table contains only one lineitem it will get over in the first page itself. If the lineitems are more in the table, it will automatically triggerPAGE2 (since static next page attribute for PAGE1 is PAGE2) and the remaining line items will be displayed. Now no matter how many lineitems you have ,PAGE2 will be triggered repeatedly(since static next page for PAGE2 is PAGE2 itself) until the entire data in your table is displayed.
In this way your requirement of printing the logo and header windows for the data lineitems only will be fulfilled.
3.Now the last catch in your case is the printing of PAGE3(The terms and condition page) on an entirely new blank page.
In the footer section of the table which you have used, use a command node set to PAGE3. After the command node and under the same footer section now insert your terms and condition lineitem.
Also Check the "at End of table" checkbox and uncheck " AT PAGE BREAK" under OUTPUT OPTIONS tab for the footer section.
So now this footer section will be triggered only once after all the data in the table is displayed
4. So now if there is only one lineitem, before the default second page is triggered the command node will trigger the PAGE3 and the terms and condition will be displayed.Else if there are more lineitems the page2 will be triggered again and again and finally when all the lineitems are over, the footer of the table will get triggered. So the command node will take you to the PAGE3 wherin the terms and condition will only be displayed.
Hope this helps.

Riju

Modifying Existing Partitions on HDDs to be used ONLY for Mass Storage.

I've included an image of my Disk Configs. I want to use Disk 1 and Disk 2 ONLY for mass storage. Therefore, I would like to have as few partitions and virtual drives (volumes) as possible. Currently I can only change the name of the
first named (lettered) drive/volume on each HDD. (Note: Drive 1 will contain one or more System Images generated by Windows 8.1 Recovery). How do I make each drive more or less partitionless and named by only one letter? Further, since Drive 1
will be used to store system images, does it need any special partitioning assuming some day I may want to recover the system from that drive? Thanks.

I have used DISKPART to restructure the two disks in question but the question remains about specific partitioning, if any, that might be needed on Disk 1, which is to house only System Images generated from Windows 8 Recovery.
