Multiple logic scripts in a package

Hello All,
How do I execute mutliple packages using a single package in datamanager? I need to execute 3 scripts. I cannot use them as *INCLUDEs on the first script because the first script has *FOR EACH PROCESS TIME statement. But the second one and third script need to be executed only one. If I add them as includes, it executes 2nd and 3rd for each member of time specified. For instance if I run it for 12 months, it executes 12 times instead of just once. For simplicity of scripting and maintenance, I made them as 3 different pieces.
Is there a way to create a package/dtsx to do this?
Thanks in advance for the insights.

I have a similar issue on our server:
For our older packages I get this error:
The task with the name "Execute formulas" and the creation name "OSoft.Services.Application.DataMgr.Task.SSISTaskLogic, OSoftTaskLogic, Version=4.2.0.400, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bf6c37fa78f5a648" is not registered for use on this computer.

For a package from AppShell, I get the following error:
The task with the name "Execute formulas" and the creation name "OSoft.Services.Application.DataMgr.Task.SSISTaskLogic, OSoftTaskLogic2008, Version=7.0.112.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bf6c37fa78f5a648" is not registered for use on this computer.
Contact Information:
I tried re-registering K2processing.dll, K2processingInternal.dll and K2Logic.dll but they are on the app server. I have tried editting the dtsx packages from doth the db and app servers.
Can you help me figure out what to do?

Script BPC Admin Packages

Is there a way to script several BPC packages? We load actual financial results several times a month. This involves running a few packages in a specific order. We also need to wait for the packages to complete prior to executing the next package.
The order we run the packages is as follows:
Clear Package u2013 To Clear Out preliminary actual results
Import Package u2013 Imports the latest actual results into BPC into an Actual Version.
Copy Package u2013 Copies actual results from the Actual Version into a Forecast Version.
Ideally we would like to string these together into one script or package such that we only run one job as opposed to hand holding the multiple jobs.
We cannot start a job prior to the preceding job completing. So we need some guidance to see if there is a way to check status.
Thanks for your help,
-Dan

Thanks for your input so far. I'm getting there... but still running into some issues. 
I've been able to successfully combine a clear and import package. Ultimately, I want to create a Clear>Import>Clear>Copy>Custom Package chain. 
1) If I try to use an Execute Package Task to just call the current .dtsx tasks, I don't get any of the prompts to show up when running the package through data manager in Excel. 
2) If I rebuild the packages and combine the values in the MODIFYSCRIPT variable (example below), it will only allow input for one copy, or one clear. If I try to combine a copy and clear only the clear inputs show up when running the package through data manager. Any tips on how I can get this to work properly? 
Here is the control flow for my "Clear & Copy" package, along with the MODIFYSCRIPT variable. All tasks are "2008" versions and as I mentioned above, doing a clear-->import package in this manner works correctly. 
Export_Zero(Dumpload Task)>Load Cube(Dumpload Task)>Clear Comments (Comment Task) >Dump (Dumpload Task)>Convert(Convert Task)-->Load(Dumpload Task).

How to SIMPLY use the %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variables into logic scripts

hello,
I'm using a prompt of type "COPYMOVE" or "COPYMOVEINPUT". In this type of prompt, there are 2 columns of dimension members list, one for defining the "source zone" and one for defining the "target zone" of logics.
The left colum of the prompt (for source zone) feeds the variables %DIMENSION_SET% : %ACCOUNT_SET%, %ENTITY_SET%, %CATEGORY_SET%, etc...and these variables can be used in the logic scripts in *XDIM_MEMBERSET instructions for example.
The right colum of the prompt feeds the variables %DIMENSION_TO_SET% : %ACCOUNT_TO_SET%, %ENTITY_TO_SET%, %CATEGORY_TO_SET%, etc...and I don't know how to SIMPLY use these variables in the logic scripts.
I've found a tricky way to do that but I meet 2 problems :
- it is complicated
- the multi-info instruction (BEGININFO/ENDINFO) seems to be bugged as blank lines are added all the time in the code and sometimes I have to wait for minutes when I try to modifiy the package code through BPC for excel eData/modify package menu.
So the question is how to SIMPLY get the %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variables into logic scripts and use them ? Thanks, R.
Here is the tricky package code I use at this time (I build one function for each %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variable and I pass these functions to the logic) :
PROMPT(COPYMOVE,,,,"ACCDETAIL,ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,DATASRC,ENTITY,TIME,YEARS")
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,WS-WW\PlauchuR)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,US)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,SV)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV\PrivatePublications\PlauchuR\TempFiles\FROM_1561_.TMP)
TASK(Execute formulas,TOSELECTION,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV\PrivatePublications\PlauchuR\TempFiles\TO_1561_.TMP)
BEGININFO(%FSS%)
*FUNCTION TARGETACCDETAIL=%ACCDETAIL_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETACCOUNT=%ACCOUNT_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETCATEGORY=%CATEGORY_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETDATASRC=%DATASRC_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETENTITY=%ENTITY_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETTIME=%TIME_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETYEARS=%YEARS_TO_SET%
ENDINFO
TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,%FSS%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV
..\AdminApp\SV\_TEST.Lgf)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
Edited by: ALEXANDRE BEDIER on Jun 16, 2010 3:15 PM

hello,
finally I've discovered that there is no need of BEGININFO instruction.
One can pass several functions to a logic with one FORMULASCRIPT task. The functions definitions have to be separated by instructions. See below :
PROMPT(COPYMOVEINPUT,%FTARGETS%,,"select source and target zone for category and datasource.","ACCDETAIL,ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,DATASRC,ENTITY,TIME,YEARS")
TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,*FUNCTION TACCDETAIL=%ACCDETAIL_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TACCOUNT=%ACCOUNT_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TCATEGORY=%CATEGORY_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TDATASRC=%DATASRC_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TENTITY=%ENTITY_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TTIME=%TIME_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TYEARS=%YEARS_TO_SET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,%APP%)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\%APP%\_TEST.LGF)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
Then one will be able to use the functions TACCDETAIL, TCATEGORY, TACCOUNT,... in the logic script.

Multiple Logical Systems in Partner Profile for one instance

Can we create multiple Logical Systems in Partner Profile (WE20) for one instance or one System? If it is possible, can we create Logical System with respect to Plant/Country?

I am not quite sure if I understood your problem completley. But let's see...
Usually you use on on MSCS Cluster Group per SAP instance. So you have your already existing NW 7.0 ABAP stack in a separated Cluster Group, and you create a new Cluster Group for your new Java system.
You can find more information about it in this guide here on SDN:
Link: [High Availability;
More information about High Availability Setups for SAP System can be found here on SDN:

If you want to use the same database for your clustered ABAP stack and your new Java stack you can do a MCOD installation.
Please see Link: [SAP Note 388866 - Multiple Components on One Database - Installation|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/388866]
Hope this helps.

Cannot modify logic script on BPC 10.0

Hello All,
I need to change a simple logic in our existing logic script. I changed, validated and hit a save button. It says that "The Script Logic file has been updated". However, my change is not saved. When I open a script Logic after I saved, I see the original one only.
I talked to BASIS team to check the PROCTIMEOUT on server and found that it has 3600. Which is two times higher than SAP recommended. There are about 200 lines in logic scripts.
Could you please help why I can not modify the logic scripts?
Thank you very much in advance!!!
Thanks
Indra

Hi Indra,
I dont think its related to the timeout settings of a DIA process. Could you please check if you have proper authorizations to Update the script Logic in BPC ?

Regarding Adding multiple SAP Scripts in one Transaction

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i will have to develop one custom transaction which will have multiple SAP Script Forms to it.
The scenario is as below:
First i will have to create a Program with Selection-Screen with 10 Radio buttons in one Block - Here Each Radio Button indicated Diffrent FORM[SAP SCRIPT].
Down to it i will create another Block with some selection-screen fields. Like Order Type, Order No, Customer PO number, SOLD TO, BILL TO, SHIP TO etc.
And based on Radio button selected allowed order types will vary!
So after selecting one Form[Radio button] and enetring other selection fields once i press execute button.
i need to display list of Orders in ALV List output with check boxes for each record in the List Output.
Here all the radio button Forms are related to Sales Order document and Delivery document
So do we need to create new ALV List Report (or) We can use submit VF31 transaction's program [sd70av3a].
After we are displayed with orders in the output.
Then we should provide a functionality as such if user selects mutiple Orders/Check boxes he should be able to view multiple Orders one after other, and simultaneously generate PDF Files for Each Order Selected and attach them in Mail send them to Block of users.
Can anybody give there sujjestions.
Without generating spool request no's is it possible to generate PDF files for SAP SCript output!
Is it possible to Generate & attach one/multiple PDF files to mail ID and send them to list of users!
Can anybody give inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasad.

hi prasad,
There is one concept called Print Work Bench(PWB) to print the multiple scripts or smartforms which r assigned to a same transaction.
If u need the info related to PWB shoot me a test mail to [email protected]
i will send u the same
fot the same u can check the below link also
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/64/bf2f12ed1711d4b655006094192fe3/content.htm
Prasad i didn't get the mail from you plz check it once again
If u find it useful plz mark the points
Regards,

Can no longer print multiple files from a PDF package

Prior to our upgrade to Acrobat Pro X, we had the ability to print multiple files within a PDF package. We would simply select the files we wanted to print, say print and it would print them all. It no longer does so, although it still allows us to select multiple files and to select ALL from the print menu but then it only sends the first file to the printer.
We have tried it on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it won't work correctly on either one.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is very frustrating as these packages are created by folks bundling their e-mail messages to send to the fileroom for printing and filing in the official case files. With the old method we were able to quickly print out all the messages without attachments, and then would only have to individually print those messages that had attachments. As stands now if we get a package with 100 messages in it we will have to select and print each file individually instead of being able to print the 75 without attachments as one print job and then only have to do the seperate handling for the remaining 25 with attachments.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I'm using windows 7. The Acrobat that came with the Adobe Creative Suit 4 is Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I am on a web site that has a page in PDF I click on the printer icon and the print page comes up but the preview side is blank and will not print the page.

Meaning of defining multiple logical components in mainenance project?

Dear friends of SolMan,
I have a question regarding a possible functionality of ChaRM .
In the maintenance project, defined in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, there is on the tab "system landscape" another tab "systems" where you define the logical component for which the maintenance belongs to.
In the list for the logical components you have the possibility to define more than one logical component.
Now my question is:
- Why and for what am I able to define more than one logical components?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Alex

Alexander
Yes it is very important part of CHARMS
Because logical component tells you which client is dev or QA or Prd for any system
When you activate CHARMS in your project where you have added the logical comp then system check for this logical comp ...the needed things ...like rfc or transport route etc
You can have multiple logical comp for various systems in one project i& it s enough to support them with one maintenance cycle working ...........to support CHARMS functionality
Hope it clarifies

Can one physical system have multiple logical systems? if yes why?

can one physical system have multiple logical systems? if yes why?
Regards
sriman

Logical system is an ALIAS name for a physical LOCATION. so we may have more than 1 logical system name for a physical location.
eventhough its allowed,but normally we dont do that.
you can do this in FILE transaction.

Multiple 'logical joins' between a fact table and one dimension table

It appears that one cannot create multiple ‘logical joins’ between a fact table and one dimension table in OBIEE using the Oracle BI Administration Tool. For example, considering a Business Model with a dimension table TIMES and a fact table FACT containing START_TIME and END_TIME, we would like to create separate logical joins from FACT to TIMES for the START_TIMEs and END_TIMEs? Obviously, the underlying foreign keys can be created, but as far as I can tell the Oracle BI Administration Tool doesn’t support this. The workaround would be to replicate the TIMES table, but that’s ugly.
I seek an alternative approach.

Try this. Create an two aliases for the TIMES dimension (Start & End) in the Physical Layer and then remove foreign key to the "Parent" Times dimension. Create the Foreign Key in the Physical Layer to the new aliases and then create the complex joins in the BMM Layer to the new aliases as well. This will allow you to present both dates within the same table in the Presentation Layer. Not the most elegant solution but it works.

Unix layout question single vs. multiple logical volumes

Hello friends,
I have a question which I have seen various points of view. I'm hoping you might be able to give me a better insight so I can either confirm my own sanity, or accept a new paradigm shift in laying out the file system for best performance.
Here are the givens:
Unix systems (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and/or Linux).
Hardware RAID system on large SAN (in this case, RAID-05 striped over more than 100 physical disks).
(We are using AIX 6.1 with CIO turned on for the database files).
Each Physical Volume is literally striped over at least physical 100 disks (spindles).
Each Logical Volume is also striped over at least 100 spindles (all the same spindles for each lvol).
Oracle software binaries are on their own separate physical volume.
Oracle backups, exports, flash-back-query, etc., are on their own separate physical volume.
Oracle database files, including all tablespaces, redo logs, undo ts, temp ts, and control files are in their own separate physical volume (that is made up of logical volumes that are each striped over at least 100 physical disks (spindles).
The question is if it makes any sense (and WHY) to break up the physical volume that is used for the Oracle database files themselves, into multiple logical volumes? At what point does it make sense to create individual logical volumes for each datafile, or type, or put them all in a single logical volume?
Does this do anything at all for performance? If the volumes are logical, then what difference would it to put them into individual logical volumes that are striped across the same one-hundred (+) disks?
Basically ALL database files are in a single physical volume (LUN), but does it help (and WHY) to break up the physical volume into several logical volumes for placing each of the individual data files (e.g., separating system ts, from sysaux, from temp, from undo, from data, from indexes, etc.) if the physical volume is created on a RAID-5 (or RAID-10) disk array on a SAN that literally spans across hundreds of high-speed disks?
If this does makes sense, why?
From a physical standpoint, there are only 4 hardware paths for each LUN, so what difference does it make to create multiple 'logical' volumes for each datafile, or for separating types of data files?
From an I/O standpoint, the multi-threading of the operating system should only be able to use the number of pathways that are capable based on the various operating system options (e.g., multicore CPUs using SMT (simultaneous multipath threading). But I believe they are still based on physical paths, not based on logical volumes.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply damorgan.
We have dual HBAs in our servers as standard equipment, along with dual controllers.
I totally agree with the idea of getting rid of RAID-5, but that is not my choice.
We have a very large (massive) data center and the decision to use RAID-5 was at the discretion of our unix team some time ago. Their idea is one-size-fits-all. When I questioned it, I was balked at. After all, what do I know? I've only been a sys admin for 10 years (but on HP-UX and Solaris, not on AIX), and I've only been an Oracle DBA for nearly 20 years.
For whatever it is worth, they also mirror their RAID-5, so in essence, it is a RAID 5-1-0 (RAID-50).
Anyway, as for the hardware paths, from my understanding, there are only 4 physical hardware paths going from the servers to the switches, to the SAN and back. Their claim (the unix team's) is that by using multiple logical volumes within a single physical volume, that it increases the number of 'threads' to pull data from the stripe. This is the part I don't understand and may be specific to AIX.
So if each logical volume is a stripe within a physical volume, and each physical volume is striped across more than one hundred disks, I still don't understand how multiple logical volumes can increase I/O through-put. From my understanding, if we only have four paths, and there are 100+ spindles, even if it did increase I/O somehow by the way AIX uses multipathing (SMT) with its CPUs, how can it have any affect on the I/O. And if it did, it would still have to be negligible.
Two years ago, I've personally set up three LUNs on a pair of Sun V480s (RAC'd) connected to a Sun Storage 3510 SAN. One LUN for Oracle binaries, one for database datafiles, and one for backups and archivelogs), and then put all my datafiles in a single logical volume on one LUN, and had fantastic performance for a very intense database that literally had 12,000 to 16,000 simultaneous active* connections using Webshere connection pools. While that was a Sun system, and now I'm dealing with an AIX P6 570 system, I can't imagine the concepts being that much different, especially when the servers are basically comparable.
Any comments or feedback appreciated.

Lookup total value in logic script

hi experts,
is it possible to lookup with same criteria that returns many row and fetch the total of all returning rows ? if it is possible, how ?
you can see at attached picture, i try to lookup with same criteria (row 3 & row 5), the different only at column 3. what i want is fetch the total value of row 3 & row 5 = 1000 + 10000 = 11000
but what i get is 1000 which means only fetch the first row (row 3).
the code that i using in my logic script:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = 551010
*XDIM_MEMBERSET METRIC = PERCENTAGE
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY = LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET SUBITEM1 = NO_SUB1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET MEASURES = PERIODIC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET SUBITEM3 = NO_SUB3
*XDIM_MEMBERSET BUAREA = NO_BUAREA
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY = %ENTITY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = 2014Q3
*XDIM_MEMBERSET AUDITTRAIL = Input, OFFSET
*XDIM_MEMBERSET INTERCO <> NO_INTERCO
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = 2014.07
*LOOKUP Finance
*DIM EXP_Input:AUDITTRAIL = Input
*DIM EXP_Input:METRIC = AMOUNT
*ENDLOOKUP
thank you.
