Multiprovider design between characterstics and KF

Hi Experts
I have 2 MP , i have to design new MP using these 2MP.
I have to integrate these 2 MP, here challenging key point is:
I have to integrate between characteristics of 1st MP to KF of 2nd MP, But there are some common characteristics between these two MP's, Can Any experts give suggestion on this design.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Meena,
If your data from ODS is not available in Multiprovider then there can be following three cases:
1> Data is not activated in ODS
2> Data is acitvated in ODS but you have not provided characteristic identification from ODS in multiprovider
3> THe Calendar Day for which you want to see the data from Multiprovider; you may not have any data for that calendar day in your ODS.
Please check this and let us know if there are any issues.

Difference between Characterstics and Master Inspection Characterstics??

Could some please explain me the difference between characterstics and Master inspection Characterstics?
How do you create a new master inspection characterstics?

Classification and Characteristics are cross-application functions ( [SAP Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/dd/ae56614bb411d192f20000e829fbc6/frameset.htm] ) used in many areas of SAP such as:

Multiprovider design (InfoObject assign) and query dehavior

Hi experts,
we have a hetergenous multiprovider, it has several InfoCube as the basis cube. when execute the query, it will display some duplicated records.
1) the two duplicated records are exactly the same, including characteristics, navigational atrribute, key figures.
2) the two duplicated records have the same characteristics, navigational attribute, with some of different key figures .
It's very hard to identify the root cause why for some of the records, it will have duplicated records. Meanwhile, I have some question for the multiprovider design..
For example, now we have 4 InfoCube..
In those 4 infoCube, we have the 0Material inside. at Multiprovider level, 0Plant are assign from those 4 infoCube
Only 3 of the InfoCube, have the 0Plant inside. at Multiprovider level, 0material are assign from those 3 infoCube.
1) what will happen , if I include 0plant and 0material as the rows in the query designer, will this cause some duplciated records ?
Now , 0Material, have the navigational attrribute, 0mateiral_0matl_type, If I only 3 Cube has the
0mateiral_0matl_type Open and assign into the Multiprovider..
In my query, I use the 0material, and also 0material_0matl_type as the variable , both could input the values, and display in the rows
What will happen ? if not all the navigational attribute are assigned at the Multiprovider level, but the master data InfoObject 0material it self are all assigned at the multiprovider level.
2 ) Is there any influence to retrieve the record ? I am not sure if 0Material are correctly assigned, 0material_matl_type will influence the result (number of records), or will this cause duplicate records ?
I think in some of the case, in the sub -cube, not all the required InfoObject, or navigational attribute are avalable at the ALL Cube level, but in the query level, they are used.
Finally, what could be the reason for duplicated records ?? they should be merged after execution..
Please share your comments. Thank you very much.

HI muwenziwu,
If you iunclude any characteristics or a navigational attribute which is not common in both the infoproviders
then the it will show the result in a seperate line ,
But you have a option to overcome this , refer the How to document in the below link

Mapping Design - SOAP body content needs to be different between test and production

Hello,
We are integrating with a 3rd party SOAP receiver who uses the same web service URLS for test and production.
So to differentiate they exposed 2 web services which do the same thing but have different root and payload node names...along with account details.
For example, for production our SOAP XML must follow pattern like:
<Envelope>
<Body>
<appRequest>
<userID>produser</userID><password>prodpwd</password>
<appPayload>
<?xml>
blah blah this XML is the same between test and production
</xml>
</appPayload>
etc
But for their testing we must use:
<Envelope>
<Body>
<appRequestTest>
<userID>testuser</userID><password>testpwd</password>
<appPayloadTest>
<?xml>
blah blah this XML is the same between test and production
</xml>
</appPayload>
etc
So I'm trying to think of a good way to handle this difference in one set of mappings that we can use in our 3 PI platforms Dev / Test / Prod
Since these differences are in the SOAP Body does it need handled in mapping or is there a way to handle it in the Adapter Config which is naturally different between our environments (mapping we like to keep the same).
What is a smart way to handle this scenario?
Many thanks,
Aaron

I second Artem when he states that this is a bad design decission from the caller's side.
However this is not gonna help you in the current situation, right?
The problem you are facing is that by poor design the message does not have a root node which you may use to handle occurences. Let me explain further
You would be good if prod message looked like so
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<appData>
   <appRequest>
   </appRequest>
</appData>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
and test message looked like so
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<appData>
   <appRequestTest>
   </appRequestTest>
</appData>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
--> Then you would have been able to specify occurence of <appRequest> and <appRequestTest> as 0..1
So I think you have (besides what Artem already pointed out) 2 other options:
1. activate "do not use SOAP envelope" on sender SOAP channel and then designing the data types like above
2. Use HTTP instead of SOAP adapter and designing data types like above
Hope I didn't miss something crucial :-)

Alright understand the dif between forms and designer...but

alright understand the difference between forms and designer...but I learned forms 6i and reports 6i and want to work in the industry under designer 6i. can i do this? would going into designer 6i be difficult with forms 6i/pl/sql experience??

Its a different tool with a different type of development.
You can take an Oracle Designer course or read the docs and start learning.

Dreamweaver Momentarily Freezing When Moving Between Code and Design View

I have Dreamweaver CS4 and have had a problem that just started yesterday. I have rebooted my machine to no avail. The local copy and the live copy of the site are on two different servers that we access through a local network.
Dreamweaver slows to a standstill if I click to another program and then attempt to go back into Dreamweaver or if I switch between design and code view.
I haven't made any changes to Dreamweaver in the way of added extensions or updates. Is it possible that the cause of this could be either a server problem or a connectivity to the server problem?
Many thanks in advance for any help you could provide.
Andy

You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.
By the way, this is the Dreamweaver Application Development forum which deals with questions about using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ColdFusion. General Dreamweaver questions should be posted in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum.
And while I´m at it: please use descriptive headlines such as "how to switch between Code and Design View" for your posts -- mentioning your screen name "Goula129" is not helpful to other users.

Difference between k2 and designer workflow?

Hi All,
What is the Difference between k2 and designer workflow? Thanks in advance!

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fc569e59-57fd-4c5b-9786-fd06d9dd78ea/sharepoint-2013-workflow-vs-k2-workflow?forum=sharepointgeneral
SharePoint 2013 has many improved
features, one of them is workflow engine, the new workflow platform, dubbed ‘workflow manager’, brings with it many new enterprise class capabilities, like: high density and multi-tenancy, instance management, fully declarative authoring, you can refer to
following article to better understand this:

For k2 workflow comparing with SharePoint,

Inconsistency between ATP and ASCP

Thanks for looking at this message. Bit lengthy but will be interesting :-)
In our implementation we use ATP based on planning output and its a constrained ASCP plan (ECC) .
Assuming that sale sorders are available in the system and they have been entered say last month/ or even few months before with request date as the sale order entry date . We did nt have onhand at the time due to which the promise dates have been Sep-09.
Assume that we have made a receipt from supplier/or there is PO in receiving (considered as available date of today by ATP) . In this situation in case a new sales order is entered today with request date of today provided the onhand or expected receipt today is more than sales order qty , the promise date upon sales order entry is today. We do OM loopback and send back sch ship date from ASCP which gives correct dates (Sep or Oct based on lead times). But issue is in the promise date .
Issue 1: customer is questioning while there are so many existing sales orders which are already in arrears and their request dates are all in past months why does a new sales order get a promise date of today?
When ASCP runs overnight it plans based on request date and the onhand/exp receipt is pegged to earliest sales order and not the new one put in today(which is fine and as expected) , but due to the mismatch between ATP and ASCP always there is going to be mismatch in meeting promise date and Sales performance measures go for a task.
Also there all the customers are sent Order Acknowledgement (emailed upon booking order) based on the wrong promise date which causes lot of issues in explaining to each customer.
Issue 2:lets say onhand is 2 and there are 2 sales order lines one for qty 8 (req date 21-jul) and other for qty 2 (req date 23-jul) . I schedule order line 8 (req date 21-jul) first then ATP promises line after LT (say Sep-09) and the qty 2 line is promised today but when ASCP is scheduling it has ability to see request date due to which it can peg 2 onhand to earlier request date and then wait for new supply till Sep-09. The one with later request date will show ship date in Sep-09.
Have attached the screen shots explaining the issue 1 and 2
Best regards
Vinay

Hi Vinayak
Both of your observations are correct. As I managed ATP development for several years, let me help explain these things to you:
1. For 1st issue, where a new incoming sales order can get better date than earlier promised sales order, please understand that ATP is based on supply/demand picture at a point in time when SO was originally processed. If supply/demand picture has changed significantly, you need to use a tool like Oracle Backlog WB to manage and re-process currently scheduled SO to re-assess where they should be promised. Once Sales Order is promised, ATP uses schedule ship date to see when material is needed and uses a supply closes to ship date (JIT). If earlier supplies are available, they're up for grabs by new SO.
Thus, the behavior is working as designed and you need to develop your business process to ensure that backlog management is practiced on a regular basis to avoid such issues.
2. For 2nd issue where you see that ATP isn't using supply to satisfy smaller qty sales order, please understand that ATP is "First-come-First-Serve" and it is working on 1 specific order at a time. When initial order of qty=8 came in, it had no way to know what lies in future or if another SO with qty=2 will come later. Compare this with ASCP which is working a complete set of supplies and demands and can analyze this picture in totality.
I'm sure you'll like your ATP request to come back in few seconds (or may be a min or so) and not take a few hours while you enjoy the hourglass on your screen. No surprise that ASCP plan run takes few hours since it needs to go thru such hoops and try to optimize across these ideas while ATP is a quick answer as what can be done for this in-coming demand considering everything else in the system is frozen.
Please note ATP and ASCP plan serve very different purpose and business process needs to be enahnced to take advantage of best of both these tools.
Please feel free to contact me directly for any further issues in this respect.

Question about bluetooth communication between PC and mobile device

I am a newbie of bluetooth communication. This time I need to have connumication between PC and mobile device (mainly mobile phone) by sending strings. PC is acted as server and mobile device act as client.
For using bluetooth in PC, I use bluecove 2.0.1
I have already connected them successfully.
When I want to send strings between them, it is found that it can only do one cycle of communication (client -> server -> client).
For my design, they can communicate multiple times.
I simulate the core class of the system, the performance is fine.
Cound anyone help me to watch the code and give me some advices?

i haven't worked with devices but only with the toolkit emulators;
it definitely is possible...
u have to send the image as a bytestream and receive the image at the jsp end...
and then reconstruct the image.
the Stream classes in J2ME AND J2SE are all u will require.
also the Image class.
i have not done this but i have successfully sent an image frm a jsp and displayed it on the emulator.

When frequently switching between mobile and desktop view

When I frequently switching between mobile and desktop view I have to open the layers every time since they get closed/collapsed. Adobe may need to fix it for the next version.

You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.

Credit Management: Difference Between Static and Dynamic Credit Check

Hi,
Could anyone tell the difference Between Static and Dynamic Credit Check?
According to website: http://www.sap-basis-abap.com/sd/difference-between-static-and-dynamic-credit-check.htm ... this is the answer:
====================
Simple Credit Check : Tr.Code - FD32
It Considers the Doc.Value + Open Items.
Doc.Value : Sales Order Has been saved but not delivered
Open Item : Sales Order has been saved , Delivered, Billed & Transfered to FI, but not received the payment from the customer.
Static Credit Check it checks all these doc value & check with the credit limit
1) Open Doc.Value / Sales Order Value : Which is save but not delievered
2) Open Delivery Doc.Value : Which is delivered but not billed
3) Open Billing Doc.Value : Which is billed but not posted to FI
4) Open Item : Which is transfered to FI but not received from the customer.
Dynamic Credit Check         1) Open Doc
                                            2) Open Delivery
                                            3) Open Billing
                                            4) Open Items
                                            5) Horizon Period = Eg.3Months
Here the System will not consider the above 1, 2, 3 & 4 values for the lost 3 months.
====================
Question 1: Could you further explain the above information, if there is any?
Question 2:: What is the Tcode to customize settings of:
a) Simple Credit Check (isn't this same with b) below?)
b) Static Credit Check
c) Dynamic Credit Check

Hi Tanish,
Diff between Static and Dynamic Filters.
Example One at report Level.
Create a variable for a Infoobject say ,Material .
1)In the Query Designer and if u restrict it to some 10 materials at query level, the report will display for only those 10 materials only.This is Static Filter.UR AHrdcoding it to those materials.You cant change them at Query Run time.i.e not changeable by user.
2)If u give the variable as input ,and when u run the query ,u can can choose the material,may 10 may be 1 or may 20 .It is dynamic.Changeable by user at run time
Example Two at DTP and Start Routine Level,say Document Type.
1)If u give filters in Start routine it is Static as u cannot change it in Production,not changeable by user.
2)f u give filters in DTP it is Dyanamic as u can change it in Production.U can give any doc type,Changeable by user at run time.
Hope it is Understood.

Data Reconciliation between BI and R/3 systems

Hi Gurus,
I want to know how to reconciliation the data between BI and R/3 systems.
is there any easy mentods to reconcile the data.i have also gone through the HOW TO GUIDE document, that document dosen't help me out.
Regards
Sreenivas.Y

1) Either we can reconcile using standard R3 tables eg VBAK , VBAP for sales .
2) You can go for automatic reconcillation where you will have to create a reconcillation data source and extract it to BW using virtual cube (Virtual cube would extract real time data from R3).
Include original cube and this virtual cube in a multiprovider .
Make a report taking keyfigures from both the infoproviders and add a column for difference .If there is 0 difference it means BW data matches with R3 .

Difference between diadem and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

I want to expand LabVIEW's reporting capabilities. Can someone tell me what the difference is between DIAdem and the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

Hello Mr Bean,
There are several major differences between the two solutions. I'll try and outline them as good as I can ...
The biggest different is that LabVIEW and its toolkits are programming tools and DIAdem is a ready to run application.
The LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit basically provides an extensive library of VIs that allow you to connect LabVIEW to the MS Office library and create and edit reports in Word and Excel.
DIAdem is a stand alone application that was designed to post-process data from various sources. The tools included in DIAdem are:
1. NAVIGATOR: Allows you to import data from files (ASCII, binary, Excel, etc.) as well as DataBases (SQL/ODBC, Citadel, ASAM, etc.). The unique DataPlugin technology available within DIAdem allows you to import vitually and data file by creating a DataPlugin that describes the data format and gets linked to DIAdem. More information at: http://www.ni.com/diadem/dataplugins.htm
2. VIEW: Graphical and Numerical data inspection tool. Use cursors to zoom and scroll through your data, edit your data graphically and numerically and compare different tests.
3. ANALYSIS: DIAdem has a wide range of analysis functions, ranging from simple functions like integration and differentiation to FFTs, Order analysis and 3D data analysis.
4. REPORT: The DIAdem REPORT tool allows you to create reusable report layouts that can contain multiple axis systems (2D, 3D and polar plots) as well as tables (2D and 3D) and variables. The REPORT tool generates templates that can be usedwith multiple data sets due to the inclusion of automatic (or manula if required) scaling as well as extensive use of variables for annotations. Finished reports can be exported to printers, graphics files, the Windows Clipboard, HTML pages and PDF files (PDF writing is build into DIAdem, no extra software required). Using Scripts, it is also possible to create Word, Excel or Powerpoint reports from DIAdem automatically.
5. SCRIPT: The DIAdem scripting tools allows users to record macros or write scripts that automate complete sequences, for the import of data, via extensive analysis, to creating a publication ready report. Scripts can make reports "intelligent" by modifying the appearance of a report based on the data or calculation results that are going to be displayed in the report.
I recommend you check out the following link for more information: http://www.ni.com/diadem/
DIAdem is an extremly powerful tool for report generation. I am leaving to go on a business trip to Asia, but I would be more than happy to give you an Web presentation on DIAdem after I have returned. We could use your data and create a DIAdem report Script together online. My Email address is [email protected] and I will be back the week of Thanksgiving.

Office 2013 installed with KB2817430, windowsupdate still finds KB2850036. difference between KB2817430 and KB2850036

Hi,
I've made a silent Office 2013 installer with /admin and put SP1 MSP's in the updates folder.
After deployment under installed updates it shows: Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2817430) 32-Bit Edition
But when I check for new updates, "ServicePack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2850036) 32-Bit Edition" is ready for download and install.
What is the difference between KB2817430 and KB2850036?
It seems that I cannot download KB2850036 and also integrate it in the silent installation.
Another question: Is the updates folder from Office only for servicepacks? or can I put also updates and patches MSP files in here? If yes then i've got a lot of files with the same name and different files sizes. For example After extracting SP1 I've got
the file "proofsp-en-us.msp" which is 10MB and when extracting another patch also i've got a proof-en-us.msp and is 8MB.
So which one need to go in the updates folder?
Can anyone help me out?
thanks

Hi,
As can be seen from below KB articles, KB2817430 only contains Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Office 2013, whereas KB2850036 also contains Service Pack 1 (SP1) updates for other Office 2013 related desktop products. For example, Microsoft Office 2013
Language Pack, Project 2013, SharePoint Designer 2013, Office Proofing Tools 2013, etc.:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2850036
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2817430
So if you have any of these products on your computer, Windows Update might offer related updates to you.
Regarding the Updates folder issue, you can put any Office software updates in it during the initial installation, such as service packs or hotfixes. A newer patch might make changes to a specific file, you can check the version number of that file, and keep
the newer one in the folder.
Here is the reference you will need:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2011/05/05/using-the-updates-folder-to-deploy-software-updates-with-an-office-2010-installation.aspx
(Note, it was created against Office 2010, however the steps should hold good for Office 2013)

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

How to distinguish between enabled and disabled tasks in SSDT-BI 2012

Hi,
I've got SSDT-BI 2012 together with VS2012 installed. Simple questions: What is the difference between enabled and disabled tasks in control flow from the design/color point of view? I do see that the disabled tasks changes to grey (omg are you really kidding
me????) from black. This could be a bad joke or dream however is not.
So I'm kindly asking you to help me solve this problem. How can I change the color difference between these two options (enabled task vs disabled task)? I do not care whether the one will be yellow or pink, simply just need to be recognizable at first
look and not under long and painful examination.
Thanks for your reply. Hopefully it will be useful.
Karol.

Hi Karol,
It’s true that it only changes the font color of the task name text to grey after disabling a task in SSDT 2012. In SSDT 2010, the whole task control including icon will turn grey after it is disabled; in BIDS, the background color of the task control will
turn grey after it is disabled. These behaviors are by design. Personally, I agree with you that this behavior in SSDT 2012 is not very readable.
