NLS Archiving question.

Hi,
I know that with NLS, we can report on the archive data but can we also report on navigational attributes after data is archived.
Also can i pass filters on navigational attributes to the archive data from a report?
Thanks & Regards
-Ranjit

Hi,
reporting with NLS works with filtering on navigational attributes on any supported release (as of BW 7.0). However the filter itself is not moved into NLS, since NLS storage does not store the master data.
Example: if you filter on an attribute of a material, NLS returns all relevant material data rows and OLAP processor does the filtering. So the query result is correct however the runtime can be very long.
On BW 7.30 this has improved a bit. For filters where the selection on navigation attributes selects less than 100 records of basis characteristic, this filter is translated into the basic characteristic and the filter is passed into NLS.
Example: you want to filter on an attribute of a company code. This filter fits for 34 company codes. The selection to NLS is send with these 34 company codes instead of the selection on the attribute. This works only for characteristics with low cardinality. For the example with material this would most likely not work.
On BW 7.40 with SAP HANA there is a solution called Smart Data Access which allows to cooperate SAP HANA with SybaseIQ, so that the relevant data from NLS is moved at runtime into SAP HANA and then joined with attributes table on SAP HANA. This improves the runtime also for high cardinality characteristics.
There are also solutions from 3rd party NLS vendors which can improve the runtime when filtering on navigational attributes.

  • NLS Archiving in BI 7.0

    Hi Experts,
           I have some doubts on NLS Archiving.
    1)    When I am working with SAP ADK Archiving in BI 7.0, the data which we are going to archive needs to be compressed. I have come across this problem and I compressed the data and the data archiving is fine. Is this  same if I go for any NLS archiving (SAND, PBS etc) in BI 7.0 do I need to compress the data before I go fror  archive.
    2)   We canu2019t show the archived data in Report using Conventional SAP ADK. But when we go for NLS Archiving we have the option to check the Data Archived also in report by setting in RSRT Properties: Read Data from Near Line Storage. My doubt here is by checking this flag ,can we see the archived data only in RSRT or can we see the archived data even When  we execute the report in BEX analyzer or through portal . Why because in our case users will check reports from Portal only.Then do we have any option in portal or Bex Analyser also to see archived data from  Near Line Storage
    Please Correct me if I am wrong also please share your Comments.
    Thanks

    Hi Vamsi,
    1) Yes, you need to compressed the data also before archiving it thru NLS. Otherwise, it will not be available on your data options for the list of records to be archived.
    2) Enabling this option lets the user to query the archived data aside from rsrt. Btw, you need to test also if NLS application is unavailable, and check if your online data is still accessible, as it reads the archived data even if you only queried for online data based on our experience.
    cheers!

  • NLS Archival of Data

    My query is on NLS Implementation of Sybase IQ.
    Suppose, we have archived our data based on time-slice (We have two options : time-slice / request-based).
    During the first archival, the data was archived for years 2010,2011 and 2012. Are partitions created based on time in IQ ?
    Next time when I archive the data for 2010, will a new partition be created in NLS storage or will the data be send to the previous archived partition?
    If a new archived partition is created in NLS storage, which partition will the query search if criteria is 2010 ? New or the older partition ?
    I need to know how the data is stored in NLS archived storage.
    Can the archival process from BW on  HANA to SYbase IQ be automated on a timely basis instead of manually doing it ?
    It would be really helpful, if anyone could provide a link which explains the whole process completely.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Pooja,
    My answers below:
    Does that mean, the query will search for all the partitions of the table in IQ?  Suppose for a table
    Archive Request 1 partition : data for years 2010, 2011 , 2012
    Archive Request 2 partition: data for year 2010
    - The partitions are based on the archive request, but your example is not correct, because the year 2010 is already archived and locked in the first request.
         - If you make requests based on quarter, you will have the data partitioned by quarter. If by year, the partition will be by year. And if by a range of years, that will be a single partition. So your first archive request would create a single partition with three years of data.
    Will the query search both the requests ? Doesn't it affect the performance ?
    - If the query is based on a date range, it will only search the partitions holding the date range. It will do this by the request ID. If your query does not specify a date and uses another criteria, it will search all partitions.
    And , while creating an archival process we specify time characteristics as the primary partition.
    So, in the Archive request 1 partition, will there be separate sub-partition for years 2010, 2011 , 2012 respectively ? So that, as and when the query search is for 2010, it goes and searches only the 2010 partition ?
    - This is done by the request. You should plan your requests or your archiving process chains in BW to meet your requirements.
    Or does IQ does any indexing ?
    - IQ does create indices on all of the columns. In addition, the archiving process will create some indices. BW will create a view for the archive and will create indices on the columns used in the view's where clause. In addition to the IQ indexing, BW is also aware of which archive request holds which time slice, so the performance is optimized on both ends.
    Hope that helps,
    Eric

  • NLS Archiving

    Dear All,
    Could you please do let me know, how to perform NLS archiving for SAP BW7.4 powered by HANA to HADOOP system.
    Regards,
    Jo

    Hi Jyotsna,
    I agree with srinivasan, NLS license from sap means  sybase -IQ as data base for Near line storage.
    SAP BW Near-Line Storage Solution (NLS) Based on SAP Sybase IQ
    SAP BW 730: What's New in the SAP BW Near-Line Storage Solution
    You can access data from HADOOP by using smart data access technique.
    There are also other NLS database ( DB2, Oracle Etc ) that supports BW but the down side is, only authorized NLS implementation  partners can implement in NLS in customer namespace.There are very few companies can implement third party NLS.
    Thanks,

  • How Transformations or Routines will work for the NLS Archived data in BW on HANA?

    Hi,
    I have archived data from BW on HANA system into NLS IQ.
    Now I'm creating a Transformation or Routines, in this case how the archived data will be read without writing any ABAP Code.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ramana SBLSV.

    Hi Ramana,
    May be i will try to explain with 2 cases. hopefully one of this will be your case:-
    DSO1 -> you have archived this DSO.
    Case 1:-
    Now you want to load from DSO 1 -> DSO2 (direct transformation)
    so here , you question is while loading from DSO1 to DSO 2 ,will  the archived data also  be loaded to DSO 2?
    if so, there is a  infoprovider property you need to change for this
      In extra-> infoprovider properties -> change-> Near line usage switched on (by default it is off).
    so, the archived data also will be used in this case.
    Case 2:-
    you are loading from DSO 3 to DSO2. lookup on DSO1.
    so in lookup DSO1, you need to use archived data as well?
    In this case, you have to use the Read from DSO rule type. this will access from both active table and NLS data.
    Let me know if this is not the case with you?
    Regards,
    Sakthi

  • FI Archive questions for object FI_DOCUMNT

    I am on a team that is currently implementing an Archiving strategy for financial data through the FI_DOCUMNT archiving object and we have a few questions:
    1. Is it possible to perform the revaluation process on an account (for example the Cash account) for a fiscal period that has already been archived?   Transaction F.05
    2  Is it possible to redo a transfer to profit centers operation for prior years even if that data has already been archived?
    Transactions 1KEH, 1KEI, 1KEJ, 1KEK
    3. Since we are using FI ECC (Enterprise Controlling Consolidations), can we retain the consolidation account number for documents that have been archived via an AIS Infostructure?
    Also, if we would need to transfer an FI document to a new special ledger for past periods, if it has been archived is that possible? Transaction GCU1
    Any help on these questions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The software is named as MediaSource Audio Converter. It comes w/ the MediaSource package which can be found at support/downloads too.
    BTW, XtremeAudio is not based on same hardware that those othed X-Fi (PCI) models are so, if you have Li've! 24-bit/Audigy SE/Value or any Audigy 2/4 card there already then you perhaps don't get any other advantage but those couple of bundled additional software only (as like the Chrystalizer).
    You can rip CDs and record audio directly to mp3 format by simply using MediaSource Player ... I don't know if there are support for edit VOB or DAT format files (least creative wavestudio 5.0 didn't support) but, supposeingly, there are 3rd party software for this task available.

  • Blog Archive Questions

    Hi, I have created a blog using iWeb 08 -- it currently has about 50 entries and about a dozen photo pages, and I am getting ready to publish. I tried a publish to a folder so I could see that everyting was OK, and it created two questions:
    1. I thought the "Archive" link would appear in the navbar -- I indicated in the Page Inspector that I wanted it to appear there. It does not -- the only way to access the archive is through the "Blog" link. Any ideas?
    2. When you go to the archive and scroll to the bottom (the oldest entry), it allows you to click on a "Next" button. When I do this, it doesn't take me to the next sequential entry (e.g. the next most current entry) -- instead, it jumps me around my entries throughout the archive. How can I get my entries to appear in the order I want them to using the "Next" button?
    Many thanks,
    Monica

    Thanks, looks like this is a fixed situation that requires ingenuity to work around - too bad. But thanks for the reply.
    you can also dynamically change the page css with javascript by way of html Snippet, but there are drawbacks... one is that the date will be displayed until the html snippet is loaded, then the javascript does its things and the date will be removed.
    How do you access the .css file for the page? I take it's on the iDisk?
    yes.
    I cannot find it - Some of my directories are password protected - and I dunno what pass or login would open them. Do you know how to set these?
    i don't know, i don't have mme. but i imaging it would be in System Preferences.
    Also wouldn't editing the .css file cause a error in iWeb once I cause a dis-synchronism within the web page data and the online data?
    only when you publish entire site, then you have to redo the css files. keep copy of the modified css files will save you time.

  • Exporting for Archival Question

    I want to export from iMovie in the highest quality format for archival on a Western Digital external 1TB firewire drive. I have captured my video from an analog camcorder through a Canopus ADVC110.
    My questions are:
    1. Which format is the highest quality (regardless of size restrictions)?
    2. Which settings under 'options' within this format do I need to choose?

    1. Which format is the highest quality (regardless of size restrictions)?
    DV, AIC, and H.264 with an unlimited video data rate , and Apple Animation all produce high quality files. (I tend to prefer the Animatio codec since it seems to render truer "blacks" and more saturated colors but at its fullest quality data rate setting its data rate can exceed the capabilities of my older PPC G5 to handle it.) If interested, here is a link to a file containing a motion comparison of DV, Animation, AIC, and unlimited H.264 in a single player. You can step through the short clip to compare the rendering of the various codecs on a frame-by-frame basis to see if you prefer one over any of the others. Be advised that this is literally four movies in one container and is relatively large file for its rater short duration. (I.e., it take a long time to cache or download.) SAMPE COMPARISON MOVIE FILE
    WARNING: You should also be advised that if you archives are to be re-imported to iMovie '08, the Apple Animation compression format it totally unsuitable for this purpose since it currently will not re-export from an iMovie '08 project.
    2. Which settings under 'options' within this format do I need to choose?
    I prefer AIFF ("Big Endian" linear PCM for audio. Since video data rate are either unlimited, pre-set, or tied to the quality setting, about the only thing you can change is the display size, whether it is output as an interlaced or progressive file, the frame rate (which should never be changed if it can be avoided), Key framing (which is usually a personal preference but you may want all Intraframes here), and color depth if offered (I usually prefer full where possible). These are areas where there are bound to be differences in opinions as to what "best" settings actually means so I normally advise users to experiment a bit to determine what looks "best" to them.

  • Exchange 2013 Archiving question

    Hi all,
    I have a question on Exchange 2013 Archiving. 
    In the Default MRM Policy it has the Default 2 year move to archive tag. 
    When this runs it moves any emails over 2 years old to the users Archive mailbox. 
    I also know it will recreate the folder structure that was in the inbox. 
    My question is once it's moved to the users Archive what policy is applied to the emails and folders by default? 
    When you look at them it just says Using Parent folder Policy. 
    Would the parent folder be the Archive - %username it's self?  Or is nothing applied and the users must go in a assign a tag to it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you apply one retention policy to a mailbox, then this retention policy will be applied to the primary and archive mailbox, this means that the archive mailbox have the same retention policy as primary mailbox.
    Here is an example to help you to understand this.
    You can use a DPT with the Move to Archive action to move items to the archive mailbox in two years, and a DPT with a deletion action to remove items from the mailbox
    in seven years. Items in both primary and archive mailboxes will be deleted after seven years.
    You can refer to the following article for more information.

  • Archive question about DL storage

    Good morning,
    I am trying to decide if both WSUS archive DLing and SCCM2012 Archive DLing are needed. My issue here is space, we are at 100Gigs of updates etc between both of them and my question is can you use the same archive for both instead of having 2 separate ones.
    Just seem way more efficient and would save a TON of space..
    Daryl Craft

    Sorry, not totally following. When integrated into ConfigMgr, WSUS should not be downloading update binaries at all and the only reason it downloads updates is because you are approving updates in WSUS which you should not be doing. You should never actually
    be going into the WSUS admin console to perform any administrative activities (with a few minor exceptions)..

  • How do I thank someone who answered an archived question?

    Several times I've found a solution to a problem in an archived thread, therefore have no way to acknowledge them. If there is a way I'd like to know it. And if not, I'll just share my thanks to those who take the time to respond to questions or who post solutions they've discovered. You all have my gratitude and I try to pay it forward whenever possible. So, thank you!

    Queries on the forums cover every topic under the sun. Everybody has some expertise about something.
    If you see a query about things you know about, stop for a minute and add your knowledge to the thread. That's the best way I know to "pay it forward".
    The guys with a zillion points do not do this to get the points -- they do it because they like to help, and the points sometimes come to them in response, sometimes not.

  • Mail - IMAP and Archiving Questions

    From other threads it seems to make the best sense to clean up/archive your IMAP mailboxes by creating local mailboxes ON MY MAC, and then dragging the archive mail into these local boxes which creates room on your IMAP folder and also lets you still see the old mail.
    Questions....
    I have some old local legacy mailbox that I do not want to delete, but do not need to get to it hardly ever.
    Q: I would like to take the legacy mailbox and remove it from my main computer and just put it on a archive hard drive for safe keeping. What is the best way to do this?
    Do I simply close Apple Mail and then copy the Legacy mailbox to the archive drive - then open Apple Mail and delete the legacy original mailbox?
    Or is there a better way?
    Now, when I want to read the mail sometime in the future, how to I get Apple Mail to see it?
    Do I have to :
    1 - actually reimport the legacy folder mailbox from the backup drive just look at one piece of mail - or can I simply copy the legacy folder the into lib> mail user folder and Apple Mail will just see it?
    2 - when I'm done I'd have to delete the import to clear space?
    Could it be that easy?
    ALSO: if by some chance I wanted to get these local folders to show up in entourage what is the best way to import them in entourage? What about importing the legacy folders into entourage?
    In entourage: I used to be able to just move old folders - to archive drives and I'm done. Then If I ever wanted to see them again - just drag an alias to the 'Microsoft User Data' folder and it would be seen instantly right from the arc. drive... Can it work like this with apple mail also?

    You can simply select that mailbox, CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Archive Mailbox from the contextual menu. Save the archive wherever you want. The archive is a .mbox file that is importable into Mail. If you need access to its content you will have to first import it back into Mail.
    I see no reason why you couldn't use an alias, but I've never tried it myself.

  • BE Archiving Question

    Hi,
    A question from other thread, but have the same query.
    If you archive InfoCube the archiving object is generated and later on you can reload archived data into the same or another InfoCube. What happens if the cube structure changes? Will the archiving object be generated new? Can the old archived data (basing on the old cube structure) still be reloaded?
    Regards
    Manish

    Hi Manish,
    Regarding archiving,
    I suggest to re-load archived data to another info-cube, later if you wanna display it to the report with the production cube, you can unify its (archived cube + production cube) with Multi-provider.
    With that method, you solve the problem regarding to sturcture changes.
    Hope it helps you ..

  • MM Archive Question

    Hello Forum,
    I've been uisng SARA to archive items and the process seems to work pretty well.
    I recently received a request to delete a few items (to clean up some data prior to a new round of testing). However, for the items requested, there are still some inventory and open orders.
    In prior archive sessions, i seem to recall that you could by-pass FI data verification and SD data verifcation via the use of radio buttons. But after sorting through all the variants and customization settings, I can't seem to locate these parameters anymore.
    Does anyone know where I can locate these settings? I'm running this process in our QA environment and just need to clean out a number of undesirable items from the MARA, MARC and other tables.
    I'd appreciate any coaching or guidance you can provide on this.
    Thanks, Dan

    your goal is impossible thru archiving. And it was never possible in earlier releases.
    You can only archive records that have no dependendent data.
    the material must not be used in Bom, production order, purchase order, sales order, info record, source list, inspection lot, batch, must not have stock in current and previous year and about 100 other checks.
    however in test systems you can use MMDE.
    MMDE is only allowed in test system, and cannot be executed in production systems.
    It erases the material master tables without checking if the material is already used in a bill of material or a purchase order. It just creates inconsistencies and was mainly to clear data for testing of inventory loads.

  • Archiving question

    GR55 is standard SAP transaction that has various report groups tied to it. Once GR55 is executed for one report group, SAP has the data source button to select archived data as source for the report. For example, report group 8A20 and 8A24 both read from the same data source. So, if we enable 8A20 to read from archive, then would 8A24 (as an example) work as default, if not, would the effort be only marginal or same effort as enabling the first one. We are trying to balance the need from business with different options available and wanted to understand the effort basis for incremental enabling of archive data as source for individual data source.
    your ealier responce is much appreciated.
