Local attributes - global attributes tradeoff

Hi, MDM experts.
Can you, please, share your experience on business partners repository modeling.
I build custom business partners repository. While creating it I came to a question - whether local system attributes of business partner should be modelled in that repository?
Intrinsic attributes like Full Name, State Identity Number and so on should be definitely modeled. Attributes specific to our organization but those that span many of our systems should also be modeled I think.
But what's about some specific attributes that are relevant only for one of the systems being integrated? To be concrete, imagine we have SAP ERP system as one of the systems in landscape and such attribute of our business partner as 'Purchasing organization'. In our case this table is SAP ERP specific and none of our other systems have such entity in their data model.
<b>The question is - is it reasonable to have local system attributes and lookup tables implemented in central MDM repository?</b>
If yes then isn't our repository going to be overloaded with all that local attributes and lookup tables of every client system?
If no, then how should process of central creation of business partner look like? The problem is in this case Creator won't be be able to assign all attributes he would like to and he will have to login to each of local system and assign these values after central creation. Moreover, client systems can refuse to create new record automatically in case some of attributes are missing. For example such situation is typical for Idoc inbound processing .
Have you any suggestions on streamlining the data model and BP central creation process ?

Vadim Kalabin

Hi vadim,
These are my thoughts on your issue.
I feel both the attributes should find place in the same repository.
This is not going to overload the system. In some typical MDM Implementation the volume of Main table records will very huge and the Local and global attributes will only occupy a less share only on the total records.
Also the practice is that MDM DB Server and the core server runs separately.
Pl find if this Article is use for you.

Global vs local attributes

Hi Folks,
How does one go about making attributes - local and global ?
Regards,
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
Attribute is global or local will depend on at which level you are adding the attributes in your taxonomy mode. If you are adding your attribute at root then it will be global as it is applicable to whole tree beneath and if you are adding them at a particular node in a tree it will be applicable to all its descendents.
Note: However attribute that is global should be modeled as a field as it is appicable to all the records.
Hope this helps.

Pooja

Help! .TMIB service not returning local attributes

I've the following src to create a an FML request buffer with TA_FLAGS set to MIB_LOCAL...
FBFR32* buf = (FBFR32*)tpalloc("FML32", NULL, 1024);
Finit32(buf, Fsizeof32(buf));
long flags = MIB_LOCAL;
Fchg32(buf, TA_OPERATION, 0, "GET", 0);
Fchg32(buf, TA_CLASS, 0, "T_QUEUE", 0);
Fchg32(buf, TA_FLAGS, 0, (char*)&flags, 0);
Fchg32(buf, TA_RQADDR, 0, qaddr, 0);
FILE* f = fopen(dumpfile, "a");
Ffprint32(buf, f);
long len;
tpcall(".TMIB", (char*)buf, (long)0, (char**)&buf, &len, 0);
Ffprint32(buf, f);
fclose(f);
Which produces the following output in the dumpfile...
TA_FLAGS 65536
TA_CLASS T_QUEUE

Note the lack of local attributes. I have analogous src to query local attrs of the T_SERVER class which works fine. Any ideas on why I'm not getting T_QUEUE local attrs?

Michael,
The local attributes in the T_QUEUE class aer TA_TOTNQUEUED, TA_TOTWKQUEUED, TA_SOURCE, TA_NQUEUED, and TA_WKQUEUED.
TA_WKQUEUED and TA_SOURCE are being returned as part of the result.
For TA_TOTNQUEUED the TM_MIB(5) manual page T_QUEUE class definition lists the following limitation:
Limitation: If the T_DOMAIN:TA_LDBAL attribute is "N" or the T_DOMAIN:TA_MODEL attribute is "MP", TA_TOTNQUEUED is not returned. In the same configuration, updates to this attribute are ignored. Consequently, when this attribute is returned TA_LMID and TA_SOURCE have the same value.
There is a similar limitation listed for TA_TOTWKQUEUED and TA_NQUEUED. That is why you are not seeing those 3 attributes in the result.

Ed

Local Attributes of the T_SERVER Class

What's the secret to getting the attributes listed as "local" in the MIB doc? I have some simple code to do GETs and then dump the contents of the receive buffer. Everything works nicely except I can't seem to get any of the "local" T_SERVER Attributes. I have tried setting the MIB_LOCAL flag. I have tried specifying the local attributes in a filter. All to no avail.
This snippet...
FBFR32* fmlbuf;
if ((fmlbuf = (FBFR32*)tpalloc("FML32", NULL, 10000)) == NULL)
cerr<<"ERROR: mibget: tpalloc: "<<tpstrerror(tperrno)<<endl;
return;
if (Finit32(fmlbuf, Fsizeof32(fmlbuf)) == -1)
cerr<<"ERROR: mibget: Finit32: "<<Fstrerror32(Ferror32)<<endl;
tpfree((char*)fmlbuf);
return;
Fchg32(fmlbuf, TA_OPERATION, 0, "GET", 0);
Fchg32(fmlbuf , TA_FLAGS, 0, (char*)MIB_LOCAL, 0);
Fchg32(fmlbuf, TA_CLASS, 0, (char*)tclass.c_str(), 0);
long len = -1;
if (tpcall(".TMIB", (char*)fmlbuf, (long)0, (char**)&fmlbuf, (long*)&len, (long)0) == -1)
cerr<<"ERROR: "<<tclass.c_str()<<": tpcall: Error "<<tperrno<<" "<<tpstrerror(tperrno)<<endl;
tpfree((char*)fmlbuf);
return;
string path = "c:\\temp\\";
path.append(tclass);
path.append(".log");
FILE* f = fopen(path.c_str(), "a");

Map LDAP/eDir "Language" and Vibe "Locale" attributes ?

Hello,
We can map a lot of LDAP/eDir user attributes with the Novell Vibe user attributes.
Now, I would like to know if it is possible to map the "language" attributes ?
The idea is to get the user "language" attribute from eDir and, based on it, to configure the Vibe "Locale" attribute ....
Tx for your help ...

Local class - global class

Hi Friends,
Can a local class make friend with global class???
for example i have a local class in se38 editor and this local class should access the private attribute of global class which is there in se24.
Deepak

HI Deepak
Yo can define your ABAP Unit test class as a friend of the global class to be tested in the local class definition include of your global class. So, you have to add a line of code like
CLASS <name of global class to be tested> DEFINITION LOCAL FRIENDS <name of local ABAP Unit class> in the include where the definition of local ABAP Unit Class is in. Then you can call the private methods of your global class in the local abap unit class methods.
just refer these links

Now when i run this query it gives result in around 5-6 mins
MY PS_P1_EMP_QRYSCRTY_BAK table contains sumwhat 6 million rows...
Now My Questions are:-
1) Is the number of partition done by me optimal under these circumstances...i mean can i get better performance By increasing or decreasing the number of partitions.
2) I created local index on PS_P1_EMP_QRYSCRTY_BAK.
Whether creating local or global index will be more beneficial keeping in mind the where clause and Select clause of the query....
SELECT DISTINCT OPR.OPRID , EMP.EMPLID ,EMP.EMPL_RCD , OPR.CLASSID ,'Y'
FROM PS_SJT_OPR_CLS OPR , PS_P1_EMP_QRYSCRTY_BAK EMP
WHERE EMP.ROWSECCLASS=OPR.CLASSID
i mean in where clause rowsecclass is used thats why i partitioned my table on ROWSECCLASS.
And in select clause i m selecting EMPLID and EMPL_RCD
Thats y i made a local index on ROWSECCLASS,EMPLID ,EMPL_RCD .
Thanks

1) Is the number of partition done by me optimal under these circumstances...i mean can i get better performance >By increasing or decreasing the number of partitions.
2) I created local index on PS_P1_EMP_QRYSCRTY_BAK.
Whether creating local or global index will be more beneficial keeping in mind the where clause and Select clause of >the query....You'll have to see for yourself what is optimal. Every system is different. Here are some ideas, though.
Your query
SELECT DISTINCT OPR.OPRID , EMP.EMPLID ,EMP.EMPL_RCD , OPR.CLASSID ,'Y'
FROM PS_SJT_OPR_CLS OPR , PS_P1_EMP_QRYSCRTY_BAK EMP
WHERE EMP.ROWSECCLASS=OPR.CLASSIDappears to read all qualifying rows across all qualifying partitions. Since you are partitioning by an id that would appear to exclude range and list partitioning instead so the hash partition is probably the best for your application.
Regarding global vs local partitions, I have seen timings indicate that global indexes can improve cross-partition queries slighly. I have not worked with partitions for a while but remember that global partition maintenance is difficult; anything the partition structure changes the global index had to be rebuild. You can check the documentation to see if that has changed.
If possible creating a unique index should give better performance than using an index allowing duplicates.

How to report with local and global currency in Deliveries?

Dear all,
i am working on a delivery scenario where i have in the datasource NETWR(Net value
), WAERK (Document currency).
I would like to be able to report with local currency and global currency.
Could you please help by explaining how to proceed?
Thank you.
Cheers

Hi Gilo,
You have to check with the business on the following.
1) What would be the key date of currency conversion? Is this any document date from the transaction ( Delivery Date ) or report execution date?
2) What would be the target currency ? ( for local and Global currency ). Whether this can be determined at the time of loading or should it be based on user selection criteria?
3) What is the exchange rate type that has to be used? ( for example 'M' ).
Once you have the answers to these questions, you can decide whether to do the currency conversion in the backend or front end in the report during runtime.
For example, if the user wants to input the target currency on selection variable and wants to use the exchage rate as of the report execution date, then this currency onversion has to be done at runtime.
For more details,Please check help.sap.com or SDN
Thanks,

Mix Local and Global Transaction using XA Driver for Oracle

Hi all,
We are trying to use a XA Driver which can support both local as well as global
transaction. We tried using the Weblogic jDriver (XA Driver) type 2 that comes
along with Weblogic installation but unfortunaltely it cannot mix local as well
as global transaction.
Please let me know in case we have any XA JDBC driver for Oracle Database which
supports both local and global transaction together.
Thnx,
Kumar
Environment:
Weblogic 8.1 server
Database used : Oracle8i

Most database drivers can support local and global transactions, with some
restrictions.
The JDBC spec has been changed to require compliant drivers to let the
application
know if they try to start a global transaction while a local transaction has
not been
completed (or vice verse). So most of the database drivers have been
changed to enforce
this restriction (breaking a lot of code that is out there).

Local and global variables in ABAP Debugger

hi guys.

Starting with SAP NetWeaver 6.40, SAP released a new version of the Debugger.
The Debugger available in Release 6.40 was not considered complete (and was
not the default debugger as a result)
The Variable Fast Display tool currently has four tabs . The first
two are provided empty, and you can either type or double click a name in the
source code to add it to the list. The third tab (Locals) shows all local variables
for the current program modularization unit, and the fourth (Globals) shows all
global variables in the current program.

Create local or global variables ?!

hey guys,
I want to use variables instead of wires , which one you suggest , local or global variables? and why ?
thnxxx alot

blue silver wrote:

In LabVIEW, the wire is the variable.
Local and global variables have their limited use in certain UI tasks, but lead to inefficient, error prone, and hard to maintain code.
Local variables create extra data copies in memory, which can be expensive
They break dataflow and thus lead to race conditions.
To "fix" the race conditions, you need to clutter your code with sequences.
... it's an evil cycle!.
Why do you think you need local and global variables?
If you "want" to use them, you are probably misguided. Typically, you should only use them if you "need" to! There are legitimate uses for them.

Local and global POV mode in FDQM

hi,
i am using multiload option in fdqm. what is the difference between local and global POV modes in fdqm?
your help will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Ace

Global Mode: If this mode is set and the POV is changed in FDM, it will change the POV for all users
Local Mode: if this mode is set and the POV is changed in FDM, it will only change for the current user making the POV change.
The Mode will change accordingly when using a mulitload file.

How to get local and global hostnames working?

I have a new AirPort TimeCapsule, and I can't get the local hostname (appleair.local) to work from browsers on the local network. Is that how it's supposed to work?
The TC is in bridge mode because it's behind a Netgear WAP+router -- maybe that is a problem?
I had to set up a global hostname to get Bonjour working in order to share an old printer (attached to the TC) across the network, but my understanding is that I can't actually use a global hostname from a browser without setting up a dynamic DNS service. Is that right? I'd like to be able to share files and the printer on the TC without using Bonjour if possible.
Apart from the USB printer attached to the TC, there's an external flash drive attached to the Netgear router used for backups and as a media server.
I originally configured the TC with my iPhone and an iPad mini, but now I'm working on the advanced settings with a Windows laptop using the Apple AirPort Utility for Windows and connecting to the TC wirelessly. There's a MacBook and iMac that will be added to the network, but they're not available yet so that's why I'm using the PC.

The 5.6.1 utility for windows is really not up to handling the new AC version TC.. Apple specify that you must use a version 6 airport utility but none has been released for windows.
You will have to use bonjour for windows. but you should not need to use full domain name..
By default the TC is local domain. But if your computer is getting an IP from the Netgear it might be in a different domain. How much this matters I am not sure. But I would simply try to get everything on the one domain. I think you are confused anyway.
I have a new AirPort TimeCapsule, and I can't get the local hostname (appleair.local) to work from browsers on the local network. Is that how it's supposed to work?
The TC has no html access.. never has had.. probably never will have.. for reasons known only the higher powers of Apple inc.. they do not use standard HTML access.. the only way to access the TC is via airport utility. So putting the ip or the name in a browser is useless.. it will not and cannot respond.
Sharing printers from the TC to windows is always going to be a mystery bag.. I would suggest you simply delete all your previous attempts and try again.. setting up printers via bonjour in windows.. shudder..

How to install a local (not global) extension for firefox as part of a desktop setup program.

Hey Folks,
I am working on a desktop application and as part of that applications install, if we detect that firefox is installed, we want to install an extension we wrote. For the firefox upgrade urls to work in the future we seem to need to install the plugin as a local plugin. Therefore the following does not work:
firefox.exe -install-global-extension extension.xpi
My question is, what is the correct way to install this plugin as a local extension for the current user?
If this is not possible and we have to install our plugin as a global extension as show above, we run in to the following problem.
1. Let's say firefox 3.6 is installed and we install our extension as a global extension, it works fine
2. Now, The user updates to firefox 4, it detects our plugin needs an update to work with firefox 4
3. The firefox update code runs into an error when trying to update the global extension. We get a very generic error saying there was a problem updating the addin.
I should also note that for reasons not important to this thread we have to host the extension on our own servers and not as part of mozilla.

The command line switch -install-global-extension is no longer supported in Firefox 4.
