Need to convince manager on posting downtime during build of setup tables

Can any one suggest some pointers in writing a business case for downtime during build up of setup tables
this is for Sales Application component.

Delta loads especially for LO extraction is governed by the V3 jobs scheduled in the source system.
These V3 jobs will post into the delta queue even if there is some activity in the R/3 system.
To ensure that no transactions get missed - a downtime is taken in the source system so that no documents are changed.
If you want to avoid downtime :
1. You should know which documents changed during the period the extractors were refreshed. this is in order to fo a full repair request.
Typical procedure involves :
1. Take downtime.
2. Clear delta queues into SAP BI
3. Deschedule V3 jobs
4. Move enhancements into the production R/3 system.
5. Do an init without data transfer into SAP BI to create the delta queues
6. Schedule the V3 collection jobs
7. open the system for users to post / change documents etc
8. Continue deltas into SAP BI
If you want to avoid downtime then
1. Clear delta queues into SAP BI
2. Deschedule V3 jobs
3. Move enhancements into R/3 production
4. Init without data transfer
5. Schedule V3 jobs
6. Continue deltas
7. Perform full repair request for documents that have changed between steps 1 and 5 into SAP BI.
I have gioven the steps for an enhancement - but then any activity involving changes to V3 extractions or Upgrade activity in SAP BI would fall into the same category.

Ways to reduce downtime for filling up setup table

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me the step by step process so that i can reduce downtime for filling up setup tables?
I know that setup tables can be filled by considering sales document numbers....but the further steps are not clear with me...........specially with data loadin till PSA and then to ODS/Cube
So plz throw some light on this.......
Regards,
Vaishnavi.

Hi,
You will need to fill the set up tables in 'no postings period'. In other words when no trasnactions are posted for that area in R/3 otherwise those records will not come to BW. Discuss this with end user and decide. Weekends are a general choice for this activity.
You can run them after business hours so that there wont be any transactions, or in the night times or you can do it on week ends so that there is no need to take down time.
Fill the setup tables with already closed values and then fill up again with open values.This will reduce the down time.
Initialize closed periods first in which users wont enter data ( for example in 2007 or 2006), this initializations can be done while users are working. Then the initialize last period at night/weekends.holidays etc.
If you know documents that are in closed periods, and you are sure that these documents can no longer be changed, you can only fill the SetUp tables for these documents or only for these periods, by continuing to post in open periods. You then initialize only for these intervals, delete the setup table, and only then do you fill the setup table with the rest of the documents this procedure can drastically reduce the downtimes of your system.
However, there is a risk that user exits (and in LIS, formulas and conditions) can be used to retrieve documents that are in periods that are already "closed periods".
One more thing what you need to bear in mind is, to check if there are any Scheduled jobs which are updating the transaction tables, which would definitely cause Data Reconciliation Issues.
Try Early Delta Initialization
With early delta initialization, you have the option of writing the data into the delta queue or into the delta tables for the application during the initialization request in the source system. This means that you are able to execute the initialization of the delta process (the init request), without having to stop the posting of data in the source system. The option of executing an early delta initialization is only available if the DataSource extractor called in the source system with this data request supports this.
Extractors that support early delta initialization are delivered with Plug-Ins as of Plug-In (-A) 2002.1.
You cannot run an initialization simulation together with an early delta initialization.
Hope this link may make you clear about Early Delta Initialization

Need Help Convincing Management

Hi,
I want to use ORM (I would actually use Toplink) in a new medium size project (20 or 30 tables).
But certain parts of mangement think that ORM is too cutting edge. They want me to use low-level JDBC directly.
I have made most of the arguments but they are having none of it.
Does anyone know of any specific authoritative references that say that direct use of JDBC is obsolete or harmful or something of the like? Management or architectural ones would be particularly impressive......
Thanks!

Hi,
I was in this frustrating situation a few years ago. Final words of CTO was that if ORM is such a wonderful technology, then why Oracle doesn't have such a tool ? A few weeks later, Oracle bought Toplink...So, as a follow-up, I wrote again to CTO...and I got fired...

Controlling posting sequence during GL Import(GL_INTERFACE table)

I am putting multiple journal records in GL_INTERFACE table having same accounting date. I have enabled Auto Post.
My requirement is, during Journal import and subsequent Auto posting. Some particular journals to be posted before posting other journals. Is there any column in GL_INTERFACE other than accounting date, which can be used to sequence the posting of journals in GL.
This requirement comes due to the fact, that some of the journals add funds to a account and other journals use that funds from that account. My requirement is when I do a journal import, GL should first post the journals which add funds and then post the other journals which use those funds, else I may have funds check failed issue.
Please let me know of solutions...

Hi,
Thanks for the solution. My company has assigned me similar kind of automation process. So if you could give me more input on this that would be great. You can send me further mails on the following id : [email protected] or a reply in the same forum is much appriciated. Waiting for your reply.

I need help convincing my workflow administrator on Illustrator PDF presets.

I need help convincing my workflow administrator on Illustrator PDF presets.
I work at a company which prints folding cartons, pressure sensitive labels, and film packaging. Esko Automation Engine 12 is our primary workflow. We use PDF files saved directly out of Illustrator as the primary file format. At times, the size of an art file can get fairly bloated from scaled images, effects, transparency, etc. The workflow and Ilustrator have a hard time dealing with the file size. It has been suggested to use the "export" function under the File Menu and save the art file as a "normalized PDF". I honestly believe Distiller isn't even remotely involved when you do this. I tried to make the case to use the settings in the dialog box which appears when you save a PDF out of Illustrator. I know for a fact that this dialog box isn't any different from what you see in Distiller. From my years of experience with Kodak Prinergy, I know things like bicubic downsampling, etc. will not hurt the file. The workflow administrator thinks otherwise. Can anybody point me in the direction of Illustrator PDF presets that would convince him otherwise?

Brian,
What is somewhat confusing in your post is your mentioning a capability to export PDF from the File Menu as a normalized PDF file. There is no such option in Adobe Illustrator, at least as it comes directly from Adobe. You may use the File=>Save As dialog to save the file as a PDF file, but PDF is not an option under File=>Export. Furthermore, in terms of the .joboptions provided by Adobe, there is no Normalized PDF joboptions settings.
You mention Esko. Is it possible that you have one of Esko's products installed that provides proprietary plug-ins to Adobe Illustrator? If so, that may be the source of this Normalized PDF option. Maybe some other participant in the is forum knows more about that, but at Adobe, we don't (for better or worse).
You mention problems with file bloat due to “scaled images, effects, transparency, etc.” Are you referring to the Illustrator .AI files or to PDF files created from same? If the issue is the .AI file size, the only thing you can do to fix that is to uncheck the save as compatible PDF file option when saving .AI. In terms of PDF files from Adobe Illustrator:
(1) Scaled images should not add anything to a PDF file size unless you take such images and attempt to upres them in Photoshop prior to creating PDF. There really is no benefit to be achieved by such upresing of the images; any competent RIP can do that itself just as well as Photoshop.
(2) Transparency only adds to the PDF file size if you create PDF with transparency already flattened, or what I would better describe as ruined. Flattening transparency often causes large raster bitmaps and/or very complex groups of vector objects to be created to simulate transparency in an opaque imaging model (such as is supported by PostScript).
You obviously need to produce PDF that can be accommodated by the rest of your workflow. Since we don't know what that is and whether it conforms to current best industry practices, we cannot make an absolute recommendation for you.
However, generally speaking, the most reliable PDF print publishing workflow would generally require that you create PDF/X-4 using the PDF/X-4 PDF preset from Adobe Illustrator (or for that matter, from InDesign as well). PDF/X-4 supports full ICC color management (including spot colors), the entire PDF imaging model, and live transparency.

List of differences in warehouse Management after posting inventory movemen

Hello,
is there a possibility to get a list of differences in SAP Warehouse Management after posting the movements and after Li21?
I tried with listing all postings (bookings) of movement type 711 and 712 in MM, is it correct?

Hi,
If you are analysing the difference in the WM like difference occured during GR or GI then it will be moved to storage type 999.
So in materials in storage type 999 will be due to difference. If you are clearing the difference, in LI21, system will create a material document with 711 to reduce the inventory or 712 to increase the inventory.
You can list the documents generated via 711 and 712 in MD51 to lsit down the differencs.
You can also view the reports LX17 and LX18

How can you post comments during signal aquisition?

How can you post comments during signal aquisition? For example, while acquiring your signal, you want to post a comment which the temperature reads at "30 seconds" from your relative start time (t=34 sec into recording)
I have the LE package where events, alarms, etc cannot be used. Are there other ways that the user can mark an "event" during recording?

If you know how long it will be before you want a message to pop up you can simply include a sequence structure and in the first sequence have a wait time of your desired length and have the message pop up and display in the second sequence frame.

Need help / Advice ; manage daily millions of records;;plz help me:)

Hi all,
I've only 2 years of experience in Oracle DBA. I need advice from Experts:)
To begin, the company I work for, decide to daily save in our Oracle database about 40 millions of records in our only table (User tables). These records should be daily imported from csv or xml feeds into one table.
This 's a project that need :
- Study the performance
- Study What is required in terms of hardware
As a leader in the market, Oracle 's the only DBMS that could support this size of data, but what's the limit of Oracle in this case? can Oracle support and manage perfectly daily 40 millions of records and for many years, ie We need all data of this table, we can't consider after a period that we don't need history: we need to save all data and without purge the history and this for many years i suppose!!! you can imagine 40 daily millions of records and for many years!!!
Then we need to consolidate from this table different views (or maybe materalized view) for each department and business inside the company, one other project that need study!
My questions 're :Using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0:
1-Can Oracle support and perfectly manage daily 40 millions of records and for many years?
2-Study the performance ; which solutions, technics could I use to improve the performance of :
- Daily Loading 40 millions of records from csv or xml file/files?
- Daily Consolidate / managing different views/ materalized view from this big table?
3- What is required in terms of hardware? features / Technologies( maybe clusters...)
Hope that experts help me and advice me! thank you very much for your atention :)

1-Can Oracle support and perfectly manage daily 40 millions of records and for many years?Yes
2-Study the performance ; which solutions, technics could I use to improve >>>the performance of :Send me your email, and I can send you a Performance tuning metodology pdf.
You can see my email on my profile.
Daily Loading 40 millions of records from csv or xml file/files?DIrect Load
- Daily Consolidate / managing different views/ materalized view from this big table?You can use table partitions, one partition for each day.

Reg: material needs the batch management

Hi All,
The material needs the batch management. We have created without the batch
first and the few movements were done, then tried to put the flag after the
stock remove and sales order deletion, however could not process. System
messaged as below in italic. Please let me know how we could change the MM
date for the batch. The sales order alive now.
The batch management requirement cannot
be changed for the following reasons:
SD documents exist (orders or deliveries) that have not yet been
processed or that have been processed only in part.
Thanks & Regards
Siva

Hi,
This was asked in LE forum also, please read this thread:
reg. activating batch management for existing materials
You should fully process the sales documents (sales order - delivery - invoice) or you should delete them and after setting batch requirement for your material master you could recreate the them (SO, delivery).

This is actually very simple with native LabVIEW functions.
Use an TCP Open Connection to open a port to the server (I used
ws.cdyne.com, with port 80).
Send your request with TCP Write (I send the text listed below. This text is
copied directly from the ws.cdyne.com web page, where you can find examples
for POST, GET and others).
Read back the data with TCP Read.
Close the connection with TCP Close Connection.
Note that the data you send and receive doesn't need to be HTML. It could be
any text, but most likelly XML or HTML. In this case it's a soap message,
basically an XML format designed for communicating with servers. Some
servers send the data back in several parts, but I have not found any
describtion about this format.

Wiebe.
