Ods without time char

hi,
1. can i create an ods without time characteristic.
can anyone explain me with one such scenario.
2. i need to maintain a table in bw just for lookups in a prog.how do i maintain this.should  i create an ods for this or should i use a ztable loading it via abap code.
the no . of records in this table is just 10.it gets updated every  month.which is the best method.
thanks in advance.

Hi Shiva,
You can create an ODS without a Timerefference Char.
If your are in 7.0 then You can Create a Cube in the same Fasion wiht out a Timeref Char.
Comming to your exercise i suggest that you kep the data in a ODS insted in a Table.You can automate the loads to ODS by scheduling the Infopackage.
Comming to Egg:-
In our Proj we have maintained the same Data for a Curency Key's in an ODS which might change once in a Month.
And this ods table was taken as a reference for all other datas comming to other Datatargets to convert the Currency Names from Keys.
DSO :- Contains.
KEY      TXT
14          INR
01          USD
02          EUR
And the Transaction data comes as 14, 01, 02 for all the Currencies and we use this table to identify the Currency names and disply in repporting.
This Currency Key values are given by the client in a flat file.
Hope this helps you...........!!
Best Regards,
VNK.

  • Error when reading chars values when restricting time chars in Query

    Hi all,
    since a few days I am not able to restrict time characteristics in queries on a particular Multiporvider. I can restrict the time chars with variables but not with fixed values.
    I am getting the following error:
    Reading Characteristic Values -> Programm Error in class SAPMSSY1 -> Uncaught exception.
    The problem exists only on one particular multi provider, but when checking the MP it indicates no errors.
    Anyone experienced something similiar? I am appreciating your help.
    Thomas

    actually it is a problem associated with SAP GUI 7.0.
    A solution to this problem is
    Just replace the file wdbspres.dll with in the following location
    C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SapGui.
    You can search for this file on google and download it.
    we also had faced this problem earlier...but after replacing the wdbspres.dll...it worked..
    i hope this helps you.
    pls assign points if this answer is of some help

  • Why there is no datatype which only stores date (without time part)

    Hi All,
    Is there any specific reason for not having a data type which only stores date (without time part) in ORACLE - I am asking this because DATE (without time) is a very frequently used data type in any application.
    Thanks.

    884476 wrote:
    Then why ORACLE is allowing to have scale and precision in a NUMBER data type. If I want to store an integer there is no harm in storin it just as NUMBER. But I habe option to give something like NUMBER(10). But in DATE, the time part is mandatory.a) because there's no need for seperate DATE and DATETIME datatatypes, and b) the time part is not 'mandatory'.
    SQL> create table mytable (x date);
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into mytable (x) values (to_date('01/01/1980','DD/MM/YYYY'));
    1 row created.
    SQL>The DATE datatype contains the Time as well, to make it flexible... a single datatype that can do both things without the need for any conversion between datatypes (either explicitly or implicitly).
    Yes, many application need to have fields on the screen that just show a date, such as a date of birth as you say, but that's simply a display issue, and any application interface will allow for a date format to be specified for displaying the data from the database, so in terms of such "Date only" dates, you would simply use a format mask that ignores the time portion.
    There's absolutely no issue with the fact that it's just a single datatype... it causes no problems... it's perfectly flexible at being used for just dates or for dates and times... so why such a concern?

    Hi there,
    there aren't any other similar time characteristics and you cannot create other custom time characteristics. Nevertheless, you can create a custom characteristic and use as a reference the appropriate time characteristic (e.g., 0CALMONTH, 0CALWEEK, etc.)

  • Adding time char to infocube

    Hi,
    What precautions i need to take to replace a time char with another time chat  into a infocube and  infocube is in production.
    Thanks in advance

    Edited by: kris202729 on Dec 19, 2011 3:45 PM

    It's depend upon which Time Char. you are adding.
    1) I assume that 0CALDAY already in the flow and you are including 0CALMONTH which is mapped to 0CALDAY then there is no impact on production data.
    2) If 0CALMONTH already in the flow and you are including 0CALDAY then new data of 0CALDAY will come on date when you are included 0CALDAY production data.

  • Backups without Time Machine?

    I'm wondering what the options are for backups without Time Machine. I'm a tech support guy from a way back who's primarily worked with *nix and Windows machines, and I'm no stranger to setting up networks, NAS devices and filers, etc.
    This is an all-Apple setup - MacBook Pros, iMacs, iPads, iPhones, etc. There were 2 Time Capsules in the mix, but they both began to fail so we replaced them with a single Seagate 4-bay NAS attached to 2 LAN ports. This is a 10/100/100 network with N-wireless and Gigabit switches.
    Both before and after swapping out the Time Capsules for the NAS, we received the "
    Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.
    message on the MacBooks, less often on the iMac. Post-NAS implementation, we are still seeing on the MacBooks. I've tried relaxing the backup settings to every 3-4 hours since all machines were set to backup every hour as default and I believe they were stepping on each other.
    I'm not ruling out the network, or anything at this point, but it seems odd that Time Machine will complete a backup, then at some point in the future find that it's not valid and need to go again from scratch. It's not ideal to use Time Machine if it needs a new full backup every ~2 days or more.
    So I'm simultaneously looking for any advice on how to resolve the Time Machine error, and/or how to perform routine backups to the NAS without Time Machine.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm wondering what the options are for backups without Time Machine
    Time machine is NOT a data backup, its a system (/emergency) backup.  (whats the difference? the system is data?!,  Yes, however the difference is huge).
    ....and most pros (nearly all) are absolutely NOT using Time machine as a source,    and never as a single source to archive important data.
    Time machine by definition is absolutely not a data archive, nor a storage nexus for vital data, which is secure by definition.
    here you go:
    Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
    Data Storage Platforms; their Drawbacks & Advantages
    #1. Time Machine / Time Capsule
    Drawbacks:
    1. Time Machine is not bootable, if your internal drive fails, you cannot access files or boot from TM directly from the dead computer.
    OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks include OS X Recovery. This feature includes all of the tools you need to reinstall OS X, repair your disk, and even restore from a Time Machine
    "you can't boot directly from your Time Machine backups"
    2. Time machine is controlled by complex software, and while you can delve into the TM backup database for specific file(s) extraction, this is not ideal or desirable.
    3. Time machine can and does have the potential for many error codes in which data corruption can occur and your important backup files may not be saved correctly, at all, or even damaged. This extra link of failure in placing software between your data and its recovery is a point of risk and failure. A HD clone is not subject to these errors.
    4. Time machine mirrors your internal HD, in which cases of data corruption, this corruption can immediately spread to the backup as the two are linked. TM is perpetually connected (or often) to your computer, and corruption spread to corruption, without isolation, which TM lacks (usually), migrating errors or corruption is either automatic or extremely easy to unwittingly do.
    5. Time Machine does not keep endless copies of changed or deleted data, and you are often not notified when it deletes them; likewise you may accidently delete files off your computer and this accident is mirrored on TM.
    6. Restoring from TM is quite time intensive.
    7. TM is a backup and not a data archive, and therefore by definition a low-level security of vital/important data.
    8. TM working premise is a “black box” backup of OS, APPS, settings, and vital data that nearly 100% of users never verify until an emergency hits or their computers internal SSD or HD that is corrupt or dead and this is an extremely bad working premise on vital data.
    9. Given that data created and stored is growing exponentially, the fact that TM operates as a “store-it-all” backup nexus makes TM inherently incapable to easily backup massive amounts of data, nor is doing so a good idea.
    10. TM working premise is a backup of a users system and active working data, and NOT massive amounts of static data, yet most users never take this into consideration, making TM a high-risk locus of data “bloat”.
    11. In the case of Time Capsule, wifi data storage is a less than ideal premise given possible wireless data corruption.
    12. TM like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
    13. *Level-1 security of your vital data.
    Advantages:
    1. TM is very easy to use either in automatic mode or in 1-click backups.
    2. TM is a perfect novice level simplex backup single-layer security save against internal HD failure or corruption.
    3. TM can easily provide a seamless no-gap policy of active data that is often not easily capable in HD clones or HD archives (only if the user is lazy is making data saves).
    #2. HD archives
    Drawbacks:
    1. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
    2. Unless the user ritually copies working active data to HD external archives, then there is a time-gap of potential missing data; as such users must be proactive in archiving data that is being worked on or recently saved or created.
    Advantages:
    1. Fills the gap left in a week or 2-week-old HD clone, as an example.
    2. Simplex no-software data storage that is isolated and autonomous from the computer (in most cases).
    3. HD archives are the best idealized storage source for storing huge and multi-terabytes of data.
    4. Best-idealized 1st platform redundancy for data protection.
    5. *Perfect primary tier and level-2 security of your vital data.
    #3. HD clones (see below for full advantages / drawbacks)
    Drawbacks:
    1. HD clones can be incrementally updated to hourly or daily, however this is time consuming and HD clones are, often, a week or more old, in which case data between today and the most fresh HD clone can and would be lost (however this gap is filled by use of HD archives listed above or by a TM backup).
    2. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
    Advantages:
    1. HD clones are the best, quickest way to get back to 100% full operation in mere seconds.
    2. Once a HD clone is created, the creation software (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) is no longer needed whatsoever, and unlike TM, which requires complex software for its operational transference of data, a HD clone is its own bootable entity.
    3. HD clones are unconnected and isolated from recent corruption.
    4. HD clones allow a “portable copy” of your computer that you can likewise connect to another same Mac and have all your APPS and data at hand, which is extremely useful.
    5. Rather than, as many users do, thinking of a HD clone as a “complimentary backup” to the use of TM, a HD clone is superior to TM both in ease of returning to 100% quickly, and its autonomous nature; while each has its place, TM can and does fill the gap in, say, a 2 week old clone. As an analogy, the HD clone itself is the brick wall of protection, whereas TM can be thought of as the mortar, which will fill any cracks in data on a week, 2-week, or 1-month old HD clone.
    6. Best-idealized 2nd platform redundancy for data protection, and 1st level for system restore of your computers internal HD. (Time machine being 2nd level for system restore of the computer’s internal HD).
    7. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
    HD cloning software options:
    1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
    2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
    3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.
    #4. Online archives
    Drawbacks:
    1. Subject to server failure or due to non-payment of your hosting account, it can be suspended.
    2. Subject, due to lack of security on your part, to being attacked and hacked/erased.
    Advantages:
    1. In case of house fire, etc. your data is safe.
    2. In travels, and propagating files to friends and likewise, a mere link by email is all that is needed and no large media needs to be sent across the net.
    3. Online archives are the perfect and best-idealized 3rd platform redundancy for data protection.
    4. Supremely useful in data isolation from backups and local archives in being online and offsite for long-distance security in isolation.
    5. *Level-1.5 security of your vital data.
    #5. DVD professional archival media
    Drawbacks:
    1. DVD single-layer disks are limited to 4.7Gigabytes of data.
    2. DVD media are, given rough handling, prone to scratches and light-degradation if not stored correctly.
    Advantages:
    1. Archival DVD professional blank media is rated for in excess of 100+ years.
    2. DVD is not subject to mechanical breakdown.
    3. DVD archival media is not subject to ferromagnetic degradation.
    4. DVD archival media correctly sleeved and stored is currently a supreme storage method of archiving vital data.
    5. DVD media is once written and therefore free of data corruption if the write is correct.
    6. DVD media is the perfect ideal for “freezing” and isolating old copies of data for reference in case newer generations of data become corrupted and an older copy is needed to revert to.
    7. Best-idealized 4th platform redundancy for data protection.
    8. *Level-3 (highest) security of your vital data. 
    [*Level-4 data security under development as once-written metallic plates and synthetic sapphire and likewise ultra-long-term data storage]
    #6. Cloud based storage
    Drawbacks:
    1. Cloud storage can only be quasi-possessed.
    2. No genuine true security and privacy of data.
    3. Should never be considered for vital data storage or especially long-term.
    4. *Level-0 security of your vital data. 
    Advantages:
    1. Quick, easy and cheap storage location for simplex files for transfer to keep on hand and yet off the computer.
    2. Easy source for small-file data sharing.
    #7. Network attached storage (NAS) and JBOD storage
    Drawbacks:
    1. Subject to RAID failure and mass data corruption.
    2. Expensive to set up initially.
    3. Can be slower than USB, especially over WiFi.
    4. Mechanically identical to USB HD backup in failure potential, higher failure however due to RAID and proprietary NAS enclosure failure.
    Advantages:
    1. Multiple computer access.
    2. Always on and available.
    3. Often has extensive media and application server functionality.
    4. Massive capacity (also its drawback) with multi-bay NAS, perfect for full system backups on a larger scale.
    5. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
    JBOD (just a bunch of disks / drives) storage
    Identical to NAS in form factor except drives are not networked or in any RAID array, rather best thought of as a single USB feed to multiple independent drives in a single powered large enclosure. Generally meaning a non-RAID architecture.
    Drawbacks:
    1. Subject to HD failure but not RAID failure and mass data corruption.
    Advantages:
    1. Simplex multi-drive independent setup for mass data storage.
    2. Very inexpensive dual purpose HD storage / access point.
    3. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
    Time Machine is a system hub backup, not a data hub backup
    Important data you “don’t dare lose” should not be considered ultimately safe, or ideally stored (at the very least not as sole copy of same) on your Time Machine backup. Hourly and daily fluctuations of your system OS, applications, and software updates is the perfect focus for the simple user to conduct ‘click it and forget it’ backups of the entire system and files on the Macbook HD.
    Bootable clones are the choice of professionals and others in that Time Machine cannot be booted from and requires a working HD to retrieve data from (meaning another computer). Your vital data needs to be and should be ‘frozen’ on some form of media storage, either in a clone, as an archived HD containing important files, or on DVD blank archival media.
    A file that is backed up to Time Machine is unsafe in that if that file is deleted off the computer by accident or lost otherwise, that file will likewise vanish from Time Machine as it reflects changes on the internal computer HD/SSD.

    Edited by: Business Analyst - HCM on May 20, 2009 2:20 PM

    You have to create atleast the work schedule which will consist of DWS and PSW and then work scheedule rule. Also I think you will require to configure feature SCHKZ to default work schedule rule in IT0007.
    After doing this configuration you can create wagetypes related to ur time and you can pay these wage types through IT2010 ee remuneration info
    if the wt will have rate then that rate you can maintain in T510 and may be to meet the complete requirement you need to write little bit code in CATS exit.
    otherwise you will be able to pay through 2010 and you can enter the data thru CAT2 tcode. Just you need to create a profile and set the view for entering the data like single entry or mass entry.

  • Time Conversion - DataSource to User Defined Time Char w/Ref

    Hi, I have a Transformation into a DSO and i have created User Defined Time Char w/Ref.
    ZSSDCALW     0CALWEEK     Sched Ship Yr / Week
    ZSSDCALM     0CALMONTH     Sched Ship Yr / Mon
    ZSSDCALM2     0CALMONTH2     Sched Ship Month
    ZSSDCALY     0CALYEAR     Sched Ship Year
    ZSSDCALQ     0CALQUARTER     Sched Ship Yr / Qtr
    ZSSDCALQ1     0CALQUART1     Sched Ship Quarter
    The source of these fields is not an InfoObject for an InfoObject to InfoObject assignment.  The source of these fields is a date field zzschedate from 2LIS_11_VAITM and are currently set to direct assignment.
    In the Transformation assignment only the 1st 2 new fields (ZSSDCALW and ZSSDCALM) show up with the Conversion Exit PERI6.  The others do not show a conversion exit being assigned.  Note: I read something about Function RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ, but not sure if this comes into the equation automatically.
    Questions:
    Can I directly assign the date field into all of these user-defined characteristics and conversion will automatically take place?
    Or will it do it incorrectly because they are user defined date fields with reference?

    I just wrote the routines in ABAP to finalize this question
