Legal \ management consolidation (What is the appropriate data model?)

Hi,
We are implementing SEM-BCS 6.0 with SAP BI 7.0.
For reporting purposes we have 2 types of consolidation:
Legal (external) and management (internal).
I have the following situation in a project (fictive names for companies):
Legal entity hierarchy is as follows:
Company Apple has business units A, B, C
Company Bello has business units A, D.
Management hierarchy is as follows
To the Business unit A belongs companies Apple and Bello.
Question is now: to be able to report in 2 different ways (legal and management reporting), having in account that for legal I consolidate by company and for management I consolidate by business areas:
Do I need to create 2 consolidation areas with each a data basis and perform financial consolidation twice (interunit eliminations (elimination of payables and receivables, elimination of revenue and expense, elimination of investment income) Elimination of Interunit Profit/Loss in Transferred Inventory, consolidation of investments, Reclassifications).
Or do I create one consolidation area with one databasis with 2 consolidation unit hierarchies.
For example, one hierarchy could have a structure of consolidation units as companies; another hierarchy could have a structure with business segments. (In our opinion this is the best way - Are we correct?)
If so, can we have the first hierarchy (legal) with consolidation unit (company) and partner unit (trading partner);
And the second hierarchy (management) with consolidation unit (business area) and partner unit (trading partner or trading partner's business area).
Thanks.
Ps: Our purpose is to have one databasis and one Financial Statement Item for both consolidations (legal and management).

Ricardo,
I had similar business scenario in my earlier project and the expectations were almost same.
I created one consolidation area (legal consolidation) under one single data basis and assigned business area as sub-assignment. All the consolidation functions are executed by the business users based on legal cons requirements purpose, while the reports can be generated for both legal and management consolidation.
In management consolidation reporting, your expectations can be met easily. The header will be business area, while line item data will be companies wise (if you would like the data to display that way).
For more information, you can check the threads created by me.

What is the appropriate data expiration / eviction scheme for the following scenario

We currently have an expiration scheme through which data entries in cache-A get expired after the cache hits a certain size. The LRU entries are expired after the max threshold is reached. But the issue is that certain entries in the cache are rendered meaningless without the other entries. There is a virtual grouping of entries in this cache.
Is there an expiration scheme that can be defined through which a group of entries can be deleted in one shot, and how can this policy be enforced.
The other way i would percieve this to work is to separate the currently virtually grouped entries into their own individual caches. This seems the logical thing to do, except for the issue being that we would still like to keep all these caches in the same service, and have an eviction policy defined at the service level instead of at the cache level.
Is it possible to define an eviction policy at the service level, for example to satisfy the below scenario.
Service-A has 10 caches in it [cache-1, cache-2, ....., cache-10]. And there is a limit of 10GB defined on the service. So, if the total utilization of all the caches in Service-A reaches 10GB, an entire cache from amongst [cache-1, cache-2, ....., cache-10] will need to be cleared and the memory be made available. Which one of the caches to be cleared will depend on which cache satisfies the LRU condition. So, maybe the entire cache-5 should be deleted if the entries in this cache was the oldest used.
Please let me know if the above scenario can be implemented.
Thanks

Hi Pavan,
 Just to add some more valuable information.
Organisational master data : Every company is structured in a certain way. In order to work with the SAP System your company structure has to be represented in the system. This is done with the help of various organizational structures.
Condition master data : In sales and distribution, products are sold or sent to business partners or services are performed for them. Data about the products and services as well as about the business partners is the basis for sales processing. Sales processing with the SAP R/3 System requires that the master data has been stored in the system.
Material master data : In addition to sales and distribution, other departments of the company such as accounting or materials management access the master data. The material master data is stored in a specific structure in order to allow access from these different views.
Document master data : The processing of business transactions in sales and distribution is based on the master data. In the SAP R/3 System, business transaction are stored in the form of documents. These sales and distribution documents are structured according to certain criteria so that all necessary information in the document is stored in a systematic way.
Customer Master Data : or for that matter various business partners, we maintain data for them also called as the customer master data or vendor master data like that.
Thanks & Regards

HT5527 So how do I remove the storage amount? What pulls the most data?

So how do I remove the storage amount? What pulls the most data?

I assume this refers to icloud and not the storage on the device.
You'd have to go into the various apps on your device that store data on iCloud and begin trimming files. For example, Contacts and emails that are stored on icloud, must be deleted using the Contacts and Mail apps. Be aware that deleting data from icloud will also remove if from your device.
Backups:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud. Turn off camera roll and any other apps that might have a lot of data. Then delete the backup. That will free up space. Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Go to Settings>iCloud and turn that feature on.
Emails:
Regarding emails, on the computer, move emails from mailboxes in icloud to those on the device. That can also save a lot of space.

What are the appropriate document/stage dimensions in Flash for tablet optimized apps?

What are the appropriate document/stage dimensions in Flash (width x height in pixels) for tablet optimized apps?
(Dec. 2013)
Using Flash and AIR for Android/iOS I would like to develop a educational interactive title optimized for tablet PCs, hopefully both the Android but finally also the iOS platforms. With so many tablets on the market today and with different resolutions (and even aspect ratios) I have difficulty deciding what document/stage size to set for my project/app. I have been experimenting with an Android Google Nexus 7 and Samsung Note 10 tablets and discovered that Android automatically resizes the app's stage to fully fit the screen of the tablet BUT this creates the following two issues for me:
if the stage/document size in Flash is too small and I include bitmaps when the app's stage is enlarged to fit the tablet screen the bitmaps look pixelated.
If I make the stage dimensions too big so that there is no bitmap pixelation because the bitmaps will be shrank instead of enlarged, I am afraid that on some older tablets with slower processors the app may be too slow to run (but I have to say that I did not experiment with very large stage dimensions yet).
Until today I had looked at some of the most commonly used tablets on the market and their resolutions Google Nexus 7, Samsung Note, iPads etc and was inclined towards using a stage size of approximately 1280 x 720 pixels which I considered a medium solution, but now the new generation tablets came out (Nexus 7 gen 2, iPad Mini with Retina, iPad AIR etc) with much higher resolutions so I don't know what size to use now. Anybody has any suggestions?
I would appreciate any ideas and suggestions on this matter.

You explained your problem well enough that looking at the picture won't matter. It looks like you found out too late that one of the first things you should do when you create a Flash file is set the movie properties, which include the dimensions and other things like background color, frame rate, publish settings, etc. While the string that I just listed can pretty much be revised anytime, the dimensions should really be done before anything else, when possible.
One way to go about resizing is to leave the file as is and specify the larger dimensions in the html page code. This could end up reducing the quality of any bitmaps you might have in the file(s) since you would essentially be enlarging them, but any Flash drawn elements will resize cleanly.
If you resize the stage, then you don't have much choice but to resize and relocate everything in it keyframe by keyframe.

What is the smallest data structure record in a .TXT file record to be recognized as an Apple Address Book "Data Card"?

Hello! This is my first time in this discussion group. The question posed is the subject line itself:
What is the smallest data structure record in a .TXT file record to be recognized as an Apple Address Book "Data Card"?
I'm lazy! As a math instructor with 40+ students per class per semester (pCpS), I would rather not have to create 40 data cards pCpS by hand, only to expunge that info at semester's end. My college's IS department can easily supply me with First name, Last name, and eMail address info, along with a myriad of other fields. I can manipulate those data on my end to create the necessary .TXT file, but I don't know the essential structure of that file.
Can you help me?
Thank you in advance.
Bill

What is the new data structure for .RTM files in LV8?

We have software that translates our LV
program to another language. Part of that software package reads RTM
files, decodes them, replaces text, and resaves them. That code is
broken for menus that are saved in LV8+, however. What is the new data
structure?
The simple attached zip file has vi's which
are not ours but serve to illustrate the point. If it's run on an
older RTM file, it correctly outputs and XML version of it, on newer
RTM files it just throws an error.
-- This is the second time I posted this. I was curious what the Solution? icon did on somebody elses post and I apparently marked the whole thread as solved (there should really be an undo on that feature btw --

Hi Thomas,
What error are you getting when running the program? I was actually able to run it without errors in LV 8.6.
There are ways to programmatically read and customize RTM files in LabVIEW. I hope that the following links will help:

Thanks and regards ,

Once you declare it as TYPE SY-DATUM, usually that is enough. Sometimes we will also check that it is not less than '18000101' or greater than '99991231'. Or if you have a specific date range that applies to your program you could check the field contents against that. I hope this helps.
