Max Number of Time Series and Other Columns?

What are the ceilings on the number of Time Series and Other Columns that BOP can handle?
I can not find this very basic info anywhere but I have a client that I think has hit it.

@ cfr:
I googled. But I opened this thread the July 25th and I'd forgot about that link and the fact that my problem could be Firefox fault. Silly me. -_-
I'm trying to surf w/ Chromium right now (I don't like very much Opera and other browsers based on Webkit don't read much stuff on the web) to check if issue returns. If so I'll try to check log.
Edit:
I found that I don't even like Chromium as well. So I think I'll use W3m and Elinks for "normal browsing" and FireFox just when I need to write a mail with my damned Hotmail account.
Edit (2012-10-08):
the issue still presist, even without Firefox.

Time series and Order series questions

Hi Guys - Need some help in understanding/Visualizing some basic APO concepts. I do not want to move further without understanding these concepts completely. I did read sap help and couple of apo books but none gave me a complete understanding of this very basic concept.
1. Data is stored in livecache in 3 different ways. time series, order series and atp time series. for now I am concentrating on just time series and order series. Can some one help me understand with an example how data is stored in time series and how it is stored in order series? I read that data which is not order related is called time series data and which is order related is called order series data.
My query is even in DP time series data, data is stored with respect to product and location that is transferred to snp. In SNP too data is processed with respect to product and location. so what is the difference in time series data and order series data?
2. what are time series key figures and what are order series key figures? I read safety stock for example is a time series keyfigure. why is it not a order series key figure? what makes a keyfigure time series or order series? can some one xplain this in detail with an example or numbers?
3. there is a stock category group in snp tab of location master LOC3. Stock category should be product related right? how is this related to location and what does this field mean in location master
Thanks a lot for your help in advance. Please let me know if I am not clear in any of the questions.

Hi,
Time series: Data is stored in buckets with no reference to orders.( If you place the mouse on time series data and right click for
                     display details , you will not find any information.
                      Suitable for tactical planing and aggregated planning. Usually in demand planning.
Pre requisite: 1. You need to create time series objects for the planning area.
                       2. When creating planning area you should not make any entries for the Key figure in the field Info Cube, category
                           and category group.
                       3. When creating planning area any entry you made in the field Key figure semantics with prefixed with TS.
                           (Optional entry)
Order series: Data is stored in buckets with reference to orders.( If you place the cursor on the order series data and right click
                      the mouse for display details , you will find information of order details.)
                     Useful for operative planning.
                     *You will have real time integration with R3.
Pre requisite: 1. You need to create time series objects for the planning area.( though you are creating Order series)
                      2.When creating a planning area specify a category or category group or enter a key figure semantics with prefix
                        LC.
                     3. When creating planning area you should not make an entry for the key figure in the field Info cube.
Thanks,

Add time series and CIF behaviour

All,
I need to delete time series and add time series again. What is the impact in a production environment? Do I need to stop CIF etc?
Cheers

There is no need to stop the CIF queues when you are deleting and recreating the time series. The data can flow in from R/3 and it will not have any impact on the time series deletion / recreation process. But in general it is advisable to perform this task after normal business hours when no business users are logged in and when no other jobs are running.
This is necessary because if anything were to go wrong you can be sure the problem is because of the time series deletion and recreation.
Also MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ALL TIME SERIES DATA to backup cube before deleting the time series , otherwise you will lose all your data as soon as you delete the time series . In general time series is deleted only when it is absolutely necessary since it is considered a very critical process .
Thanks

Using Time Machine and other uses on one drive

I want to get the Iomega Prestige 500 GB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive 34270 to back up some files from a Tiger machine, and possibly from some Windows machines to, but I also want to be able to use it for Time Machine in the future.
How do I format the drive for Time Machine? If I format it after I start putting files on, would the files be removed? If it's formatted for Time Machine, will it work with the Windows computers? If formatted for Time Machine, will I be able to use it for Time Machine AND regular file storage?

Prepare the drive as follows:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Now, you cannot use a Mac formatted drive with Windows unless you install Windows software that enables this such as MediaFour's Mac Drive.
If you format the drive FAT32 instead of Mac OS X Extended then you can use the drive on both the Mac and Windows without anything additional, but the drive will not be usable with Time Machine unless it's formatted Mac OS X Extended.
Now, you can partition the drive so that one partition is formatted for OS X and the other for Windows, but to do that you must partition the drive using GUID instead of APM. The former is not compatible with Tiger or non-Intel Macs.
Note that to use Time Machine you must upgrade to Leopard. TM is an incremental archiving backup program so your backup drive will need to be at least twice the capacity of the drive you will backup.

Can I have two Time Capsules in the same network, use one as Time Machine and other to expand network?

I need to purchase a divice to expand my Wi-fi network. I was looking at the AirPort Extreme, but a friend has a brand new Time Capsule for sale. So, for the same price of the AirPort Extreme, I´m getting the Time Capsule.
I already own one and using it as Time Machine and wireless router. If I decide to purchase another TC would it have any conflict with the one that I already have?
Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?

If I decide to purchase another TC would it have any conflict with the one that I already have?
No
Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?
Yes. The important thing to remember is that the "extending" Time Capsule must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your "main" Time Capsule.

HDD for Time Machine and other stuff

Just a very short question.. Can I use my external harddrive for Time Machine and for example putting files on it to take it to my friend, or the otherway around, put files on it and take it back home?
The reason I ask this is that I hooked up a USB HDD and it said I needed to clear all the data on the disk first before using Time Machine.

As you probably already figured out.. I don't know anything about External HDDs. That's why I want you to ask which of those LaCies you would suggest for TM with 40GB of used data and it needs to be fast:
1: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=11022 (320GB)
2: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=11013 (320GB)
3: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10695
4: http://www.lacie.com/nl/products/product.htm?pid=10811 (only a Dutch link, I'm sorry)
Hope you're able to help because your help is fabulous so far!

Edit Objectives and other columns using PHAP_ADMIN : SAP Appraisals

Here is a common scenario that we are having problems setting up. We are on SAP 4.7 - ext 1.1. We have annual MBO ratings where the employee's objectives are rated by the manager. The employees create their objectives in the system using T.code PHAP_CATALOG. We have created OSA templates where in the Objectives can be only changed by appraiser and manager can only display. This is configured in the template using column access. (For example in planning stage the column access for objective setting is set to: Column Owner - Appraisee, Planning Owner- Change, Planning Others - Display.)
However, we would like the HR Administrator to be able to edit the objectives in planning status and subsequently other columns in the appraisal document. However in transaction PHAP_ADMIN the objectives are grayed out and the HR administrator cannot change the objectives of employs are edit anything in the document. This is probably because the column access is set to display for others. The role given is an exact copy of standard SAP delivered role for appraisal administrator. We have included P_Origin authorization object also.
I understand PHAP_ADMIN should over rule and enable changes by the administrator.
How do we manage this requirement?
Thank You

Hello,
This is the outcome of my research on this issue. Granting full access to administrator users is not the default behavior in PHAP_ADMIN for 620. It was introduced to 640 and unfortunately cannot be down ported.
However, We could give full access to the administrator using BAdI 'HRHAP00_COL_ACCESS' and this had the same effect. The necessary coding for method 'GET_COLUMN_ACCESS' looked like this:
| * If the transaction is PHAP_ADMIN allow full access
| IF sy-tcode CP 'PHAP_ADMIN*'.
| column_owner = 'X'.
| availability = 'X'.
| ENDIF.
I would like to give due credit to Alexander Esslinger from SAP, who helped us solve this problem.
Thank You

External Drive Time Machine and other files

I want to use an external drive for time machine and storing other files. Does time machine need the external drive exclusively or can one also put other files on the drive?

A backup strategy is one of individual choice. By having more than on HDD for your data, you are distributing the risk
I have 5 external HDDs. One is dedicated to Time Machine, the others have data that simply takes up too much room on the internal drive in the MBP (mostly video). Some of the data that I have on these HDDs is redundant copies of what I have on the MBP and in Time Machine. This is data that is important to me. This may seem excessive but I would argue not.
Ex: my iTunes is on the internal HHD, Time Machine and also on my secondary MBP (and the iPod). That for me is important an I do not want to lose it.
I have seen too many instances on this forum where individuals have lost data without adequate backups looking for answers on how to retrieve that information only to be disappointed. Please don't let that happen to you. Given enough time, ALL HDDs will fail!
Ciao.

How to change loacalization of time capsule and other wifi hardware

I have several apple machines like, time capsule and airport extreme from different countries around the world. In a globalized world I move every 3-4 years to a new country/region. In the wifi setup of the time capsule and the airport extreme you'll only find 5 or six countries (china, Korea, Japan, chile...) but nothing about Morocco or any european country. So when you try to set "restricted access" between 1 to 5 p.m., your regional setting is China, but you live some where in Europe, there is a time difference of several hours you have to take into consideration. That is a bad joke.
There is no way of choosing a different location or setting the time as far as I know inside the setup.
Any ideas, before I sell all my Apple stuff and buy Samsung or Fujitsu?

Hi, you must go to Airport Utility, and in menù Disk you can change the name.

Encrypted Time Machine and Other Files

Hello. Is it possible to store other files on an encrypted Time Machine backup drive? I'm trying to find a place to store files such as raw images etc that I don't want to store on my MacBook but want to store on an external drive. I'm trying to avoid the need to purchase another hard drive as there is plenty of space available on the external drive I use for my Time Machine backups.
The external drive cannot be paritioned to accomplish this as Time Machine encryption only works if the drive has a single partion.

This is normal for this query however what I need to do is a little different.
In other words, while I need to show when we recorded a specific event first and last time,
I need to display the results for the last date/time when it was recorded.
For example what I need to provide should look like this:

Alert message in javascript if drop down in 1 column is blank and other column is not blank

What I’m trying to do is have a java window alert pop up if the PNR column is blank and the BOM column is not blank on each row. I also put a cold fusion If statement around this javascript that the CN_Entry column in the Items table has to be an “N”. This code all actually works, but it only works on the row with the latest or newest item with an “N” in the CN_Entry column. I would like this to work on every row, so that if someone does this on any row, or multiple rows, this alert box will keep popping up until all the conditions are satisfied. What do I need to change to make this javascript work? Thanks.
<cfif CN_Entry EQ "N">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</script>
</cfif>
Andy

The first thing you have to do is to remove the ColdFusion conditional logic. ColdFusion runs on the server. JS runs on the client.
The next thing is to call the function from an event that happens on the web page. form onsubmit seems like a good choice.

Profit center Time dependent and other Time Dependent Master Data

Hello Friends . I ticked one of the attribute of 0Vendor -
Attribute = Profit center Time dependent. Now I get
Date To and Date From Field. I read that we need to set this in BI via routine. Can u Suggest the below
Date From Field = GO live Date
Question 1 : If I set Date To FIELD to be Month end like for oct 10/31/2007 and make a routine that will increase the Date To FIELD to November 11/30/2007. Will it spoil the load since I read in SAP Expert that we cannot have same date to field. But i guess we can have it, Like If i load it today Date to will be 10/31/2007 and tomorrow load will also have 10/31/2007 . so it will have monthly snap shots of master data
Question 2 : what is advisable if I create Daily snap shots of master data like Date To FIELD will be Loading Date . Will that logic in routine to create daily loading date set to Date To FIELD will overburden the system and make the system die in few months or it is ok. we will have about 12 fields which will be time dependent.
Question 3: If you have any routine that set Date To field please email me at [email protected]
Please help

Soniya,
If you really need to do it, Quarterly is a better option than monthly so that you can reduce the number of records in master data.
For the time stamp, you will have to write some code.
Since you are going to use 0PROFIT_CTR object, the business content on this is still based on the old data flow. You have multiple places to write this code. The best place is to create a transformation between your Infosource and the InfoObject. Once you have the update rule, you can write a start routine.
you have to populate the date from and date to field.
date to = first day fo the current qtr.
date from = last date of the current qtr.
to get the first date and last date you can use the following logic.
1. pass current date and fiscal variant to fm DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT.
2. get the first period and last period from the output of 1. (for example, the current date is converted to period 003, and year 2007, then for this value the first period will be 001, and last period will be 003 and so on)
3. use fm FIRST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET to get the first date of the period.
4. user fm LAST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET to get the last date of the period.
