I am planning to transfer 16mm film to DVD by having the film scanned onto a hard disc and then transferring the file into iMovie. A sound track will then be added and the result burnt to a DVD.
My questions are:
1 What is the best hard disc file format for the highest quality result?
2 Is there a file size or time limit on the transfer of a file to iMovie?
Looking forward to some advice
JohnHi
Best - is a demanding question - I can only share what I would do
1. streamingDV (as with miniDV tape Cameras)
DVD-standard is limited in it self - There are no HD-DVD as to yet.
Blu-Ray are better but demands in programs and burner and disks and players !
2. The video - if an external hard disk is used
• External hard disk *HAS TO BE* - Mac OS Extended formatted !
• And Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly
3. iMovie'08 or 09 - are not the tools to use if result is aimed to be a new DVD
• They both discard every second line resulting in only half the resolution
Use
• iMovie up to version HD6 - or -
• FinalCut any version

Serveral questions to CRM On demand release 16
Hi All,
I am using trial version of Oracle CRM On Demand release 16, and I have serveral questions to ask:
1. In the help document "Administering Oracle CRM On Demand/Business Process Management/Creating workflow Rule Actions" mentioned that we can create an Update value action but I can't find this function in workflow rule action.
So do we have to pay for this function just as "Assign a Book action"?
2. I can't add new values to Service Request's Status picklist, it's a read-only one.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks for any suggestion!Hi
1.The Action 'Update Value' is availble under Triger Event-'Before Modified Record Saved'.
I am not sure why you have to pay for "Assign a Book action". Thats out of the box functionality.
2. Yes, SR status is a read only picklist. One workaround I can think of is to create a Custom field for Status. Then run a WF to sync the values of the Custom Status field with the Original Status field (particuluarly the Open and close values. That will maintain the integrity of all the SR matrices). -
Siebel On Demand Outbound Webservice integration using bpel question
Hello everyone,
I have a question I am hoping the forum can help me out with
I am trying to do an integration using bpel with Siebel on demand as the begining point. The bussiness case is that I want qualified leads to be extracted out of the Siebel On Demand crm to be integrated into a back end system. This is put into a queue in the integration events. I have read the forum on all the session id and intermediate java code that provides the session id. I noticed that Siebel on demand is not a webservice requestor and only a webservice provider even for outbound messages. Since bpel always needs an input of some sort how would I kick off bpel to keep checking the queue not to mention getting the session id ect?
Any help would be great :)
JadenHi ,
An integration even is something that is configured using a workflow. Like say when a Lead field is modified of r a particular Lead this even fires and will go and reside in Integration Even Queue.
A separate bpel process is then required to read the Integration Queue (wsdl's available) and then process this even for the lead.
Regarding extraction of Leads from SOD it need to have any Inegration events. Even without this we can do it. Just make a webcall using the Lead wsdl and then process th erecords usinga while Loop stucture. You can use a DB adapter to write to the target Database tables.

Je ne me souvien plus les réponses des 2 question que iTunes demande pour pouvoir faire des achats pour la premiere fois sur cet ordinateur.
ok, si tu as essayé le restore de préférences par la commande au démarrage : Cmd+shift+ctrl+alt et que tu as eu la fenêtre de restaure de tes préférences et que rien n'y fait...
Une soluce à fonctionné pour moi pour recupérer mon indesing cs6 (photoshop et illustration, audio étaient tous en place nickel). Je n'ai pas récupéré mon indesign CC 2014... mais déjà c'est pas mal
La manip founie par Mohammed :
1 - sur ton finder tu ouvres une fenêtre ou un dossier / tu va dans le menu du haut “aller“ ou commande + shift+ g et copier coller : ~/library
quand tu y est tu repère le dossier “PRÉFÉRENCES“ PAS UN AUTRE, tu dois avoir "pref panes" juste avant.., là c'est juste préférences.
accèdes aux informations par click droit/lire les infos ou commande “i“ .
2 - sur la nouvelle fenêtre qui c'est ouverte et que vous connaissez bien :
on déverrouille le cadenas en bas à droite. on rentre ses identifiant OSX.
S'il n'y a pas d'admin... clicker sur le petit plus en bas à gauche et rajoutez-le - ULTRA IMPORTANT
mettez tous les 3 : admin, staff et everyone sur lecture et écriture et ensuite tu referme ton cadenas en bas à droite.
3 - tu revient sur ton Finder et ré-ouvre un dossier quelconque / tu va dans le menu du haut “aller“ ou commande + shift+ g et copier coller : ~/library/Application support
tu fais la même que plus haut (2) : déverrouilles, change les permissions, referme ton cadenas
4 - dernière étape :
u revient sur ton Finder et ré-ouvre un dossier quelconque / tu va dans le menu du haut “aller“ ou commande + shift+ g et copier coller : /library/Application support
tu fais la même que plus haut (2) : déverrouilles, change les permissions, referme ton cadenas
quand c'est fais, ferme toutes tes applications Adobe, (redémarre ton ordi, mais c'est pas obligatoire), lance InDesign et dis moi merci... mais aussi à Mohamed le post original en anglais. -
Je n'arrive plus a envoyé un msg avec Imessage.. On demande le mot de passe du Account «Null» pourquoi cette question et surtout comment faire pour qu'il pointe sur mon ID?
Bonjour et merci ,
Le probleme c'est l'utilisation dans l'argument de vente de ces outils non fonctionnels.
Je te prends un autre exemple sur la page : http://www.adobe.com/fr/products/creativecloud/design.html?skwcid=true
Si je comprends bien kuler fonctionne desormais en France ?
Ou est ce simplement la traduction d'un argumentaire US/EN faux pour la France, et donc une publicité mensongère ?
Tout ceci pour dire, quand je me suis abonné on m'a vendu un cloud de 20go, on ne m'a pas vendu un cloud non fonctionnel.
Attention à ne pas vendre la peau de l'ours ... -
2 questions about bridge cs6 is always the rotate lossless? and high quality on demand
Hi
about bridge cs6 the rotate buttons rotate 90° counter and 90°clockwise is lossless ? i mean without loss of quality ?
and my i know the meaning of high quality on demand? might someone make an example?
thanks a lotThat's why I have never bothered to conduct such a test. A complete waste of time, in my opinion.
I would not put it that way because it always interesting to what extend users like to go or come up with for testing
But in basic, yes you are right. If you need such extreme test to proof the theory wrong the practice still is a winner. If you can't see it with your own eyes it is not really important but to fill an academic paper. In real life neither you, nor the customer or viewer would notice any difference
According to the discussion about jpeg vs Raw, of course Raw has a ton of benefits above jpeg. Personally I almost never shoot jpeg but I do know people that do to satisfaction.
Suppose you are a sports photographer and need both speed in writing to the card as in post process etc. You are working under know and solid light conditions and have measured your wight balance and set it manual. This provides very good qualities (that is if you have set the jpeg quality to high or max in camera) and shot with a recent good dSLR it produces files that can be published without problems on a magazine spread.
I can't see disadvantage for such situations. However, you have to be aware that for future use your options are still limited when deciding to change post processing. Color temperature, exposure etc etc are far more flexible with Raw then jpeg.
The vast majority of my clients want jpeg and that is what I convert to when files are ready. Yet I keep my original DNG and PSD file.
Especially the archived Raw (in my case since 2008 converted DNG from CR2 files) is important. I can't tell you how surprise I am every time I open a raw file from 10 years ago in todays Raw converters. They have been improved very much and are able to get more out of your old files then you ever could imagine.
And to finish with an other plus side of Raw. If you need to enlarge old and new raw files to huge billboards you will discover that the results of the Raw are far more superior -
Question: Why does iTunes demand that I restore my 3G each time I connect?
I have the iPhone 3G, and every time I plug it into iTunes 7.7.1, it makes me restore..every **** time! How can one avoid this??
Restore it as a new phone, and it wont ask again.
I had exactly the same problem after upgrading to 2.0.1 and did this, and it now works great. Make sure you have saved your contacts etc, and you will have to put your music back on, but then it should work as intended. -
Adobe Photoshop Touch Question / Issue
Hello,
I bought Adobe Photoshop Touch some time ago for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and I liked it so much. Of all the apps I had for photo editing, this one gave me all I need. I used to own Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my old PC so I wanted something for my tab as well. I was very satisfied by this app until my tab died some time ago. After a pain of service and repairs, the tab worked again but it had a new issue. Anytime I used the device on something more demanding (i.e. playing games ) the tab overheated a lot and the screen started to touch itself very much as, if it was pressed all the time. After some time of struggle with it I decided to wipe it clean and pass it out to a family member who would maybe dedicate more time to fix it.
Last month I bought myself a new device ( Sony Xperia Z ) and I was eager to get all my data on it and apps of course. To my sadness Adobe Photoshop Touch is not compatible with my device now, and it just sits there in my app list doing nothing . I could install only Photoshop Express but it does not give me the full access I had with Touch. I saw that there is another product called Photoshop Touch for smartphones and it seems to be the same as what I had only phone edition.
My problem is that I can not get this new app unless I pay for it and I do not wish to do that because I already paid for the previous edition.
My question is: Can I somehow obtain the Smartphone edition and the previous version ( which apparently is for tablets I suppose ) be removed from my Google Play account. I would purchase the smartphone version but there is no point in having 1 app 2 times.
I would happily like the staff to remove my previous version from my account if they would gave me the smartphone version and I acknowledge that the tab app was more expensive than the smartphone version and Adobe will not refund me the money difference nor are they obligated to give me the smartphone version. I am just asking if it would be possible because I like that app and it's such a shame for it to be in my app list and not be used. Thank you for your time in reading this and no matter what answer I get, I will be ok with it. Have a nice day .I don't think you'll have much luck. PS Touch for tablets was designed for just tablets; PS Touch for phones was designed for just phones. Touch for phones came out a little later than Touch for tablets. (By several months, if I recall.) On the brighter side, if you ended up buying Touch for phones, you'd be covered no matter which device you had.
Both are very similar in function. I believe the only differences are their UIs; Touch for tablets is landscape-oriented-specific while Touch for phones is portrait-oriented. (Some elements are also placed differently.) I imagine this allows for maximum utilization of screen real estate and element placement. -
A few questions before I buy a new iMac/Mac mini and sign up for Creative Cloud.
Hello Everyone,
I am looking to purchase a new Apple computer and sign up for Creative Cloud within the next week and I have a few questions that should be answered before I proceed.
My wife and I own a business and we will be using the CS6 apps to create brochures, Constant Contact mailings, product package inserts, edit product photography for print and web use, and short HD how-to videos. We are not graphics professionals or power users and wont be doing anything too complicated.
Any help and answers will be greatly appreciated.
I will start with the hardware questions first:
I am trying to decide between the iMac and the Mac mini.
The iMac is a 2.7Ghz Quad-core Intel core i5 and comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 16GB, which I will do for sure. It comes with a Radeon HD 6770M graphics card with 512MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 1TB HDD that runs at 7200RPM. This unit meets the specs required.
The 2.5Ghz Mac Mini comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 8GB, I will also do this. It has a Radeon HD 6630M graphics card with 256MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 500GB HDD that runs at 5400RPM. This unit meets all the spec(I think) except for the speed of the HDD.
Question: Will the mini run the software without too much of an issue considering the speed of the HDD?
Question: Will the iMac run the software significantly better to justify the price difference?
I already have 1 mini(purchased 4 months ago, with the same specs listed above) and will be purchasing a second computer for my wifes desk. If the mini will run CS6 fine, that is great and we can save a few bucks. If my mini will not run CS6 well, I will get the iMac for her desk as she will be doing the bulk of the work in that regard anyway.
Now a couple of software questions.
After reading hundreds of reviews and forum posts over the last few days I have seen many people having this or that issue. It seems to me that most of the issues are because of upgrades from Lion to Mountian Lion after installing CS6 first or trying to open CS3,4,5 files in CS6.
If you want to know what issues have me concerned take a look at just this one forum:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/07/adobe-cs-apps-mountain-lion-no-known-issues.html
Similar issues are discussed in the Apple forums as well as many other places around the web.
I am not a computer professional but I know enough to maintain my systems and keep them running smoothly.
We do not have any Adobe software installed on my mini and will not be opening any files from previous versions of Adobe product in the new CS6 software. These will be a clean installs on pristine systems running fully updated Mountian Lion OS's on both machines and creating new files from scratch.
Question: Should I be expecting any issues like the ones I have read in the forums and blogs or are these just the normal things that happen when upgrading to new software with multiple hardware configurations?
My feeling is that we will not be having too much of a problem due to the clean installs and no files from previous versions.
Next up, the Creative Cloud(CC) FAQ states that you can install on 2 machines but can't open stuff at the same time.
Question: Does this mean we can't be using any CS6 apps at the same time or just not using the same app at the same time?
Example: PS and PS on both machines at same time = No, PS on one and Dreamweaver on the other at the same time=Yes?
The CC FAQ page says Adobe will add Lightroom 4 later in 2012 while the main CC page lists it as available now.
Question: Which is true?
My mini is registered to me, with my name, iTunes account, Apple ID etc.
Question: Do I need to do the initial set-up of the new machine with all my information to ensure the CS6 suite works on both machines? Do the computers need to be registered(as far as Apple configuration is concerned) to same person for them to work on one CC account or can I install CS6 on any 2 machines regardless of how they were initially set-up?
This may seem like a silly question but I want to avoid any problems before they happen.
Well, those are all of my questions at the moment. To anyone who made it this far in my looooong post, Thank You so much for your time. I appreciate your expertise and knowledge and hope that you can help me make this decision.
Cheers,
Alex BogdanAlex,
I'll try and answer your questions as best I can.
Qn 1 Which Mac.
Ans:- As I understand it both units will run Adobe CS6.
Which one really depends on what you wand from CS6. If you are looking for high end demand and performance, then I would go for the IMac
Your Specs for the Imac are right. However if you buy your IMac straight from Apple there are even higher specs.
You can get:-
3.4 GHz i7 processor rather than the i5
2GB video card as opposed to a 1Gb video card.
Of course such a model will cost you more.
In the end it is needs compared with money to spend. That is only a decision you cam make.
Q2:- Will the higher cost for the Imac justify copst.
Ans:- Again it depends on what demands you intend to make on the hardware and software.
But I note you have a business and if that businees expects to high demand and high speedy performance then I suspect the Imac would be more able to provide your needs.
Again only you will know the answer to that.
Q3:- Questions about CS6 reliability
Ans:- I have been with Adobe for way over 10 years.
Speaking, only for myself, it is the most reliable software on the market.
It is true that if you look down this form, like any other and I am thinking about the Apple discussions forum, you will find numerous instances of problems.
Again this is only my opinion, but although all these problems are real for the individuals:-
First it is not clear why they have the problem e.g. what have they done or not done.
Second, they are in the minority of the total users using the hardware / software.
The only problem I am aware of with CS6 is Acrobat X. I understand it has been sorted Adobe, however it cost me so much work I have removed it from my system and reverted to Acrobat 9
So what I am saying is that there are only two comapnies I rely 100% on: They are Adobe and Apple.
So if you are happy with my opinion I would not worry about Adobe CS6
Qn 4:- CS6 0n 2 machines.
Ans:- Yes you will not be able to run the same program similtaneosly.
I believe, if it is important that you do run the same program together, that you can acquire a further licience from Adobe to do that.
You would need to contact Adobe about that.
Qn 5:- Lightroom 4
Ans:- Lightroom is now available as part of Creative Cloud.
Qn 6:- Set up for individual machines
Ans:- I do not believe you do. Once you have set up your Creative Cloud account you go to the apps site and download the apps for each machine.
Each machine downloads the apps and your machine and the apps are registered by Adobe.
Here is something that you may want to know:-
Because I was so unhappy loosing all the Acrobat data with Acrobat X I ended up deleting Acrobat X
However as far as Creative Cloud is concered Acrobat X is still on my machine.
It is not a problem for me because I am happy with Acrobat 9, it fullfils my needs and has not crashed and lost me all my bookmarks.
However here is the point:-
Adobe, when there was a problem with Acrobat X requested that no-one deletes the application.
Though I do not know for certain I believe registration of the apps you have with Creative Cloud are registered with Creative Cloud in their database. Therefore were you to delete an app, it will still be registered with Creative Cloud and you will not be able to download a further copy even though the app is no longer on your machine.
Therefore it maybe not a good idea to delete an app when you no longer have a use for it. If you want it back I suspect you will have to contact Adobe Support
Personal Comment:-
It is true many unfortunately have had all sorts of problems, including me with Acrobat X.
That said, Creative Cloud in my view has been a major advance in how Adobe delivers software. I have no regrets with signing up to Creative Cloud and I expect to remain with it.
Hope all of that goes some way to answering your questions. -

Aggregate on any field?
What is
the different DSO available? And what is the difference between those DSO?
What is
replacement path?
What are
the extractor types?
• Application Specific
o BW Content FI, HR, CO, SAP CRM, LO Cockpit
o Customer-Generated Extractors
LIS, FI-SL, CO-PA
• Cross Application (Generic Extractors)
o DB View, InfoSet, Function Module
2. What are the steps involved in LO Extraction?
• The steps are:
o RSA5 Select the DataSources
o LBWE Maintain DataSources and Activate Extract Structures
o LBWG Delete Setup Tables
o 0LI*BW Setup tables
o RSA3 Check extraction and the data in Setup tables
o LBWQ Check the extraction queue
o LBWF Log for LO Extract Structures
o RSA7 BW Delta
Queue Monitor
3. How to create a connection with LIS InfoStructures?
• LBW0 Connecting LIS InfoStructures to BW
4. What is the difference between ODS and InfoCube and MultiProvider?
• ODS: Provides granular data, allows overwrite and data is in transparent
tables, ideal for drilldown and RRI.
• CUBE: Follows the star schema, we can only append data, ideal for primary
reporting.
• MultiProvider: Does not have physical data. It allows to access data from
different InfoProviders (Cube, ODS, InfoObject). It is also preferred for
reporting.
5. What are Start routines, Transfer routines and Update routines?
• Start Routines: The start routine is run for each DataPackage after the data
has been written to the PSA and before the transfer rules have been executed.
It allows complex computations for a key figure or a characteristic. It has no
return value. Its purpose is to execute preliminary calculations and to store
them in global DataStructures. This structure or table can be accessed in the
other routines. The entire DataPackage in the transfer structure format is used
as a parameter for the routine.
• Transfer / Update Routines: They are defined at the InfoObject level. It is
like the Start Routine. It is independent of the DataSource. We can use this to
define Global Data and Global Checks.
6. What is the difference between start routine and update routine, when, how
and why are they called?
• Start routine can be used to access InfoPackage while update routines are
used while updating the Data Targets.
7. What is the table that is used in start routines?
• Always the table structure will be the structure of an ODS or InfoCube. For
example if it is an ODS then active table structure will be the table.
8. Explain how you used Start routines in your project?
• Start routines are used for mass processing of records. In start routine all
the records of DataPackage is available for processing. So we can process all
these records together in start routine. In one of scenario, we wanted to apply
size % to the forecast data. For example if material M1 is forecasted to say
100 in May. Then after applying size %(Small 20%, Medium 40%, Large 20%, Extra
Large 20%), we wanted to have 4 records against one single record that is
coming in the info package. This is achieved in start routine.
9. What are Return Tables?
• When we want to return multiple records, instead of single value, we use the
return table in the Update Routine. Example: If we have total telephone expense
for a Cost Center, using a return table we can get
expense per employee.
10. How do start routine and return table synchronize with each other?
• Return table is used to return the Value following the execution of start
routine
11. What is the difference
between V1, V2 and V3 updates?
• V1 Update: It is a Synchronous update. Here the Statistics update is carried
out at the same time as the document update (in the application
tables).
• V2 Update: It is an Asynchronous update. Statistics update and the Document
update take place as different tasks.
o V1 & V2 don't need scheduling.
• Serialized V3 Update: The V3 collective update must be scheduled as a job
(via LBWE). Here, document data is collected in the order it was created and
transferred into the BW as a batch job. The transfer sequence may not be the
same as the order in which the data was created in all scenarios. V3 update
only processes the update data that is successfully processed with the V2
update.
12. What is compression?
• It is a process used to delete the Request IDs and this saves space.
13. What is Rollup?
• This is used to load new DataPackages (requests) into the InfoCube
aggregates. If we have not performed a rollup then the new InfoCube data will
not be available while reporting on the aggregate.
14. What is table partitioning and what are the benefits of partitioning in an
InfoCube?
• It is the method of dividing a table which would enable a quick reference.
SAP uses fact file partitioning to improve performance. We can partition only
at 0CALMONTH or 0FISCPER. Table partitioning helps to run the report faster as
data is stored in the relevant partitions. Also table maintenance becomes
easier. Oracle,
Informix, IBM DB2/390 supports table partitioning while SAP DB, Microsoft SQL
Server, IBM DB2/400 do not support table portioning.
15. How many extra partitions are created and why?
• Two partitions are created for date before the begin date and after the end
date.
16. What are the options available in transfer rule?
• InfoObject
• Constant
• Routine
• Formula
17. How would you optimize the dimensions?
• We should define as many dimensions as possible and we have to take care that
no single dimension crosses more than 20% of the fact table size.
18. What are Conversion Routines for units and currencies in the update rule?
• Using this option we can write ABAP
code for Units / Currencies conversion. If we enable this flag then unit of Key
Figure appears in the ABAP code as an additional parameter. For example, we can
convert units in Pounds to Kilos.
19. Can an InfoObject be an InfoProvider, how and why?
• Yes, when we want to report on Characteristics or Master Data. We have to
right click on the InfoArea and select "Insert characteristic as data
target". For example, we can make 0CUSTOMER as an InfoProvider and report
on it.
20. What is Open Hub Service?
• The Open Hub Service enables us to distribute data from an SAP BW system into
external Data Marts, analytical applications, and other applications. We can
ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for
exporting data is the InfoSpoke. We can define the source and the target object
for the data. BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse.
The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the
distribution status in the BW system.
21. How do you transform Open
Hub Data?
• Using BADI we can transform Open Hub Data according to the destination
requirement.
22. What is ODS?
• Operational DataSource is used for detailed storage of data. We can overwrite
data in the ODS. The data is stored in transparent tables.
23. What are BW Statistics and what is its use?
• They are group of Business Content InfoCubes which are used to measure
performance for Query and Load Monitoring. It also shows the usage of
aggregates, OLAP and Warehouse management
http://www.ittestpapers.com/articles/713/3/SAP-BW-Interview-Questions---Part-A/Page3.html
Communication Structure and Transfer
rules
• Create and InfoPackage
• Load Data
25. What are the delta options available when you load from flat file?
• The 3 options for Delta Management with Flat Files:
o Full Upload
o New Status for Changed records (ODS Object only)
o Additive Delta (ODS Object & InfoCube)
Q) Under which menu path is the Test Workbench to be found, including in
earlier Releases?
The menu path is: Tools - ABAP Workbench - Test - Test Workbench.
Q) I want to delete a BEx query that is in Production system through request. Is
anyone aware about it?
A) Have you tried the RSZDELETE transaction?
Q) Errors while monitoring process chains.
A) During data loading. Apart from them, in process chains you add so many
process types, for example after loading data into Info Cube, you rollup data
into aggregates, now this rolling up of data into aggregates is a process type
which you keep after the process type for loading data into Cube. This rolling
up into aggregates might fail.
Another one is after you load data into ODS, you activate ODS data (another
process type) this might also fail.
Q) In Monitor----- Details (Header/Status/Details) à Under Processing (data
packet): Everything OK à Context menu of Data Package 1 (1 Records): Everything
OK ---- Simulate update. (Here we can debug update rules or transfer rules.)
SM50 à Program/Mode à Program à Debugging & debug this work process.
Q) PSA Cleansing.
A) You know how to edit PSA. I don't think you can delete single records. You
have to delete entire PSA data for a request.
Q) Can we make a datasource to support delta.
A) If this is a custom (user-defined) datasource you can make the datasource
delta enabled. While creating datasource from RSO2, after entering datasource
name and pressing create, in the next screen there is one button at the top,
which says generic delta. If you want more details about this there is a
chapter in Extraction book, it's in last pages u find out.
Generic delta services: -
Supports delta extraction for generic extractors according to:
Time stamp
Calendar day
Numeric pointer, such as document number & counter
Only one of these attributes can be set as a delta attribute.
Delta extraction is supported for all generic extractors, such as tables/views,
SAP Query and function modules
The delta queue (RSA7) allows you to monitor the current status of the delta
attribute
Q) Workbooks, as a general rule, should be transported with the
role.
Here are a couple of scenarios:
1. If both the workbook and its role have been previously transported, then the
role does not need to be part of the transport.
2. If the role exists in both dev and the target system but the workbook has
never been transported, and then you have a choice of transporting the role
(recommended) or just the workbook. If only the workbook is transported, then
an additional step will have to be taken after import: Locate the WorkbookID
via Table RSRWBINDEXT (in Dev and verify the same exists in the target system)
and proceed to manually add it to the role in the target system via Transaction
Code PFCG -- ALWAYS use control c/control v copy/paste for manually adding!
3. If the role does not exist in the target system you should transport both
the role and workbook. Keep in mind that a workbook is an object unto itself
and has no dependencies on other objects. Thus, you do not receive an error
message from the transport of 'just a workbook' -- even though it may not be
visible, it will exist (verified via Table RSRWBINDEXT).
Overall, as a general rule, you should transport roles with workbooks.
Q) How much time does it take to extract 1 million (10 lackhs) of records into
an infocube?
A. This depends, if you have complex coding in update rules it will take longer
time, or else it will take less than 30 minutes.
Q) What are the five ASAP Methodologies?
A: Project plan, Business Blue print, Realization, Final preparation & Go-Live - support.
1. Project Preparation: In this phase, decision makers define clear project
objectives and an efficient decision making process ( i.e. Discussions with the
client, like what are his needs and requirements etc.). Project managers
will be involved in this phase (I guess).
A Project Charter is issued and an implementation strategy is outlined in this
phase.
2. Business Blueprint: It is a detailed documentation of your company's
requirements. (i.e. what are the objects we need to develop are modified
depending on the client's requirements).
3. Realization: In this only, the implementation of the project takes place (development
of objects etc) and we are involved in the project from here only.
4. Final Preparation: Final preparation before going live i.e. testing,
conducting pre-go-live, end user training etc.
End user training is given that is in the client site you train them how to
work with the new environment, as they are new to the technology.
5. Go-Live & support: The project has gone live and it is into production.
The Project team will be supporting the end users.
Q) What is landscape of R/3 & what is landscape of BW. Landscape of R/3 not
sure.
Then Landscape of b/w: u have the development system, testing system, production system
Development system: All the implementation part is done in this sys. (I.e.,
Analysis of objects developing, modification etc) and from here the objects are
transported to the testing system, but before transporting an initial test
known as Unit testing
(testing of objects) is done in the development sys.
Testing/Quality system: quality check is done in this system and integration
testing is done.
Production system: All the extraction part takes place in this sys.
Q) How do you measure the size of infocube?
A: In no of records.
Q). Difference between infocube and ODS?
A: Infocube is structured as star schema (extended) where a fact table is
surrounded by different dim table that are linked with DIM'ids. And the data
wise, you will have aggregated data in the cubes. No overwrite functionality
ODS is a flat structure (flat table) with no star schema concept and which will
have granular data (detailed level). Overwrite functionality.
Flat file
datasources does not support 0recordmode in extraction.
x before, -after, n new, a add, d delete, r reverse
Q) Difference between display attributes and navigational attributes?
A: Display attribute is one, which is used only for display purpose in the
report. Where as navigational attribute is used for drilling down in the
report. We don't need to maintain Navigational attribute in the cube as a
characteristic (that is the advantage) to drill down.
Q. SOME DATA IS UPLOADED TWICE INTO INFOCUBE. HOW TO CORRECT IT?
A: But how is it possible? If you load it manually twice, then you can delete
it by requestID.
Q. CAN U ADD A NEW FIELD AT THE ODS LEVEL?
Sure you can. ODS is nothing but a table.
Q. CAN NUMBER OF DATASOURCES HAVE ONE INFOSOURCE?
A) Yes of course. For example, for loading text and hierarchies we use
different data sources but the same InfoSource.
Q. BRIEF THE DATAFLOW IN BW.
A) Data flows from transactional system to analytical system (BW). DataSources
on the transactional system needs to be replicated on BW side and attached to
infosource and update rules respectively.
Q. CURRENCY CONVERSIONS CAN BE WRITTEN IN UPDATE RULES. WHY NOT IN TRANSFER
RULES?
Q) WHAT IS PROCEDURE TO UPDATE DATA INTO DATA TARGETS?
FULL and DELTA.
Q) AS WE USE Sbwnn, sbiw1, sbiw2 for delta update in LIS THEN
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE IN LO-COCKPIT?
No LIS in LO cockpit. We will have datasources and can be maintained (append
fields). Refer white paper
on LO-Cockpit extractions.
Q) Why we delete the setup tables (LBWG) & fill them (OLI*BW)?
A) Initially we don't delete the setup tables but when we do change in extract
structure we go for it. We r changing the extract structure right, that means
there are some newly added fields in that which r not before. So to get the
required data ( i.e.; the data which is required is taken and to avoid
redundancy) we delete n then fill the setup tables.
To refresh the statistical data.
The extraction set up reads the dataset that you want to process such as,
customers orders with the tables like VBAK, VBAP) & fills the relevant communication
structure with the data. The data is stored in cluster
tables from where it is read when the initialization is run. It is important
that during initialization phase, no one generates or modifies application
data, at least until the tables can be set up.
Q) SIGNIFICANCE of ODS?
It holds granular data (detailed level).
Q) WHERE THE PSA DATA IS STORED?
In PSA table.
Q) WHAT IS DATA SIZE?
The volume of data one data target holds (in no. of records)
Q) Different types of INFOCUBES.
Basic, Virtual (remote, sap remote and multi)
Virtual Cube is used for example, if you consider railways reservation all the
information has to be updated online. For designing the Virtual cube you have
to write the function module that is linking to table, Virtual cube it is like
a the structure, when ever the table is updated the virtual cube will fetch the
data from table and display report Online... FYI.. you will get the information
: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn
/index.sdn and search for Designing Virtual Cube and you will get
a good material designing the Function Module
Q) INFOSET QUERY.
Can be made of ODS's and Characteristic InfoObjects with masterdata.
Q) IF THERE ARE 2 DATASOURCES HOW MANY TRANSFER STRUCTURES ARE THERE.

Q) ROUTINES?
Exist in the InfoObject, transfer routines, update routines and start routine
Q) BRIEF SOME STRUCTURES USED IN BEX.
Rows and Columns, you can create structures.
Q) WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT VARIABLES USED IN BEX?
Different Variable's are Texts, Formulas, Hierarchies, Hierarchy nodes &
Characteristic values.
Variable Types are

Q) HOW MANY LEVELS YOU CAN GO IN REPORTING?
You can drill down to any level by using Navigational attributes and jump
targets.

Q) EXPLAIN TRANPSORTATION OF OBJECTS?
Dev---àQ and Dev-------àP
Q) What types of partitioning are there for BW?
There are two Partitioning Performance aspects for BW (Cube & PSA)
Query Data Retrieval
Performance Improvement:
Partitioning by (say) Date Range improves data retrieval by making best use of
database [data range] execution plans and indexes (of say Oracle database engine).
B) Transactional Load Partitioning Improvement:
Partitioning based on expected load volumes and data element sizes. Improves
data loading into PSA and Cubes by infopackages (Eg. without timeouts).
Q) How can I compare data in R/3 with data in a BW Cube after the daily delta
loads? Are there any standard procedures for checking them or matching the
number of records?
A) You can go to R/3 TCode RSA3 and run the extractor. It will give you the
number of records extracted. Then go to BW Monitor to check the number of
records in the PSA and check to see if it is the same & also in the monitor
header tab.
A) RSA3 is a simple extractor checker program that allows you to rule out
extracts problems in R/3. It is simple to use, but only really tells you if the
extractor works. Since records that get updated into Cubes/ODS structures are
controlled by Update Rules, you will not be able to determine what is in the
Cube compared to what is in the R/3 environment. You will need to compare
records on a 1:1 basis against records in R/3 transactions for the functional
area in question. I would recommend enlisting the help of the end user community
to assist since they presumably know the data.
To use RSA3, go to it and enter the extractor ex: 2LIS_02_HDR. Click execute
and you will see the record count, you can also go to display that data. You
are not modifying anything so what you do in RSA3 has no effect on data quality
afterwards. However, it will not tell you how many records should be expected
in BW for a given load. You have that information in the monitor RSMO during
and after data loads. From RSMO for a given load you can determine how many
records were passed through the transfer rules from R/3, how many targets were
updated, and how many records passed through the Update Rules. It also gives
you error messages from the PSA.
Q) Types of Transfer Rules?
A) Field to Field mapping, Constant, Variable & routine.
Q) Types of Update Rules?
A) (Check box), Return table
Q) Transfer Routine?
A) Routines, which we write in, transfer rules.
Q) Update Routine?
A) Routines, which we write in Update rules
Q) What is the difference between writing a routine in transfer rules and
writing a routine in update rules?
A) If you are using the same InfoSource to update data in more than one data
target its better u write in transfer rules because u can assign one InfoSource
to more than one data target & and what ever logic u write in update rules
it is specific to particular one data target.
Q) Routine with Return Table.
A) Update rules generally only have one return value. However, you can create a
routine in the tab strip key figure calculation, by choosing checkbox Return
table. The corresponding key figure routine then no longer has a return value,
but a return table. You can then generate as many key figure values, as you
like from one data record.
Q) Start routines?
A) Start routines u can write in both updates rules and transfer rules, suppose
you want to restrict (delete) some records based on conditions before getting
loaded into data targets, then you can specify this in update rules-start
routine.
Ex: - Delete Data_Package ani ante it will delete a record based on the
condition
Q) X & Y Tables?
X-table = A table to link material SIDs with SIDs for time-independent
navigation attributes.
Y-table = A table to link material SIDs with SIDS for time-dependent navigation
attributes.
There are four types of sid tables
X time independent navigational attributes sid tables
Y time dependent navigational attributes sid tables
H hierarchy sid tables
I hierarchy structure sid tables
Q) Filters & Restricted Key figures (real time example)
Restricted KF's u can have for an SD cube: billed quantity, billing value, no:
of billing documents as RKF's.
Q) Line-Item Dimension (give me an real time example)
Line-Item Dimension: Invoice no: or Doc no: is a real time example
Q) What does the number in the 'Total' column in Transaction RSA7 mean?
A) The 'Total' column displays the number of LUWs that were written in the
delta queue and that have not yet been confirmed. The number includes the LUWs
of the last delta request (for repetition of a delta request) and the LUWs for
the next delta request. A LUW only disappears from the RSA7 display when it has
been transferred to the BW System and a new delta request has been received
from the BW System.
Q) How to know in which table (SAP BW) contains Technical Name / Description
and creation data of a particular Reports. Reports that are created using BEx
Analyzer.
A) There is no such table in BW if you want to know such details while you are
opening a particular query press properties button you will come to know all
the details that you wanted.
You will find your information about technical names and description about
queries in the following tables. Directory of all reports (Table RSRREPDIR) and
Directory of the reporting component elements (Table RSZELTDIR) for workbooks
and the connections to queries check Where- used list for reports in workbooks
(Table RSRWORKBOOK) Titles of Excel Workbooks in InfoCatalog (Table
RSRWBINDEXT)
Q) What is a LUW in the delta queue?
A) A LUW from the point of view of the delta queue can be an individual
document, a group of documents from a collective run or a whole data packet of
an application
extractor.
Q) Why does the number in the 'Total' column in the overview screen of
Transaction RSA7 differ from the number of data records that is displayed when
you call the detail view?
A) The number on the overview screen corresponds to the total of LUWs (see also
first question) that were written to the qRFC queue and that have not yet been
confirmed. The detail screen displays the records contained in the LUWs. Both,
the records belonging to the previous delta request and the records that do not
meet the selection conditions of the preceding delta init requests are filtered
out. Thus, only the records that are ready for the next delta request are
displayed on the detail screen. In the detail screen of Transaction RSA7, a
possibly existing customer exit is not taken into account.
Q) Why does Transaction RSA7 still display LUWs on the overview screen after
successful delta loading?
A) Only when a new delta has been requested does the source system learn that
the previous delta was successfully loaded to the BW System. Then, the LUWs of
the previous delta may be confirmed (and also deleted). In the meantime, the
LUWs must be kept for a possible delta request repetition. In particular, the
number on the overview screen does not change when the first delta was loaded
to the BW System.
Q) Why are selections not taken into account when the delta queue is filled?
A) Filtering according to selections takes place when the system reads from the
delta queue. This is necessary for reasons of performance.
Q) Why is there a DataSource with '0' records in RSA7 if delta exists and has
also been loaded successfully?
It is most likely that this is a DataSource that does not send delta data to
the BW System via the delta queue but directly via the extractor (delta for
master data using ALE change pointers). Such a DataSource should not be
displayed in RSA7. This error is corrected with BW 2.0B Support Package 11.
Q) Do the entries in table ROIDOCPRMS have an impact on the performance of the
loading procedure from the delta queue?
A) The impact is limited. If performance problems are related to the loading
process from the delta queue, then refer to the application-specific notes (for
example in the CO-PA area, in the logistics cockpit area and so on).
Caution: As of Plug In 2000.2 patch 3 the entries in table ROIDOCPRMS are as
effective for the delta queue as for a full update. Please note, however, that
LUWs are not split during data loading for consistency reasons. This means that
when very large LUWs are written to the DeltaQueue, the actual package size may
differ considerably from the MAXSIZE and MAXLINES parameters.
Q) Why does it take so long to display the data in the delta queue (for example
approximately 2 hours)?
A) With Plug In 2001.1 the display was changed: the user has the option of
defining the amount of data to be displayed, to restrict it, to selectively
choose the number of a data record, to make a distinction between the 'actual'
delta data and the data intended for repetition and so on.
Q) What is the purpose of function 'Delete data and meta data in a queue' in
RSA7? What exactly is deleted?
A) You should act with extreme caution when you use the deletion function in
the delta queue. It is comparable to deleting an InitDelta in the BW System and
should preferably be executed there. You do not only delete all data of this
DataSource for the affected BW System, but also lose the entire information
concerning the delta initialization. Then you can only request new deltas after
another delta initialization.
When you delete the data, the LUWs kept in the qRFC queue for the corresponding
target system are confirmed. Physical deletion only takes place in the qRFC
outbound queue if there are no more references to the LUWs.
The deletion function is for example intended for a case where the BW System,
from which the delta initialization was originally executed, no longer exists
or can no longer be accessed.
Q) Why does it take so long to delete from the delta queue (for example half a
day)?
A) Import PlugIn 2000.2 patch 3. With this patch the performance during
deletion is considerably improved.
Q) Why is the delta queue not updated when you start the V3 update in the
logistics cockpit area?
A) It is most likely that a delta initialization had not yet run or that the
delta initialization was not successful. A successful delta initialization (the
corresponding request must have QM status 'green' in the BW System) is a
prerequisite for the application data being written in the delta queue.
Q) What is the relationship between RSA7 and the qRFC monitor (Transaction
SMQ1)?
A) The qRFC monitor basically displays the same data as RSA7. The internal
queue name must be used for selection on the initial screen of the qRFC
monitor. This is made up of the prefix 'BW, the client and the short name of
the DataSource. For DataSources whose name are 19 characters long or shorter,
the short name corresponds to the name of the DataSource. For DataSources whose
name is longer than 19 characters (for delta-capable DataSources only possible
as of PlugIn 2001.1) the short name is assigned in table ROOSSHORTN.
In the qRFC monitor you cannot distinguish between repeatable and new LUWs.
Moreover, the data of a LUW is displayed in an unstructured manner there.
Q) Why are the data in the delta queue although the V3 update was not started?
A) Data was posted in background. Then, the records are updated directly in the
delta queue (RSA7). This happens in particular during automatic goods receipt
posting (MRRS). There is no duplicate transfer of records to the BW system. See
Note 417189.
Q) Why does button 'Repeatable' on the RSA7 data details screen not only show
data loaded into BW during the last delta but also data that were newly added,
i.e. 'pure' delta records?
A) Was programmed in a way that the request in repeat mode fetches both
actually repeatable (old) data and new data from the source system.
Q) I loaded several delta inits with various selections. For which one is the
delta loaded?
A) For delta, all selections made via delta inits are summed up. This means, a
delta for the 'total' of all delta initializations is loaded.
Q) How many selections for delta inits are possible in the system?
A) With simple selections (intervals without complicated join conditions or
single values), you can make up to about 100 delta inits. It should not be
more.
With complicated selection conditions, it should be only up to 10-20 delta
inits.
Reason: With many selection conditions that are joined in a complicated way,
too many 'where' lines are generated in the generated ABAP
source code that may exceed the memory limit.
Q) I intend to copy the source system, i.e. make a client copy. What will
happen with may delta? Should I initialize again after that?
A) Before you copy a source client or source system, make sure that your deltas
have been fetched from the DeltaQueue into BW and that no delta is pending.
After the client copy, an inconsistency might occur between BW delta tables and
the OLTP delta tables as described in Note 405943. After the client copy, Table
ROOSPRMSC will probably be empty in the OLTP since this table is
client-independent. After the system copy, the table will contain the entries
with the old logical system name that are no longer useful for further delta
loading from the new logical system. The delta must be initialized in any case
since delta depends on both the BW system and the source system. Even if no
dump 'MESSAGE_TYPE_X' occurs in BW when editing or creating an InfoPackage, you
should expect that the delta have to be initialized after the copy.
Q) Is it allowed in Transaction SMQ1 to use the functions for manual control of
processes?
A) Use SMQ1 as an instrument for diagnosis and control only. Make changes to BW
queues only after informing the BW Support or only if this is explicitly
requested in a note for component 'BC-BW' or 'BW-WHM-SAPI'.
Q) Despite of the delta request being started after completion of the
collective run (V3 update), it does not contain all documents. Only another
delta request loads the missing documents into BW. What is the cause for this
"splitting"?
A) The collective run submits the open V2 documents for processing to the task
handler, which processes them in one or several parallel update processes in an
asynchronous way. For this reason, plan a sufficiently large "safety time
window" between the end of the collective run in the source system and the
start of the delta request in BW. An alternative solution where this problem
does not occur is described in Note 505700.
Q) Despite my deleting the delta init, LUWs are still written into the
DeltaQueue?
A) In general, delta initializations and deletions of delta inits should always
be carried out at a time when no posting takes place. Otherwise, buffer
problems may occur: If a user started the internal mode at a time when the
delta initialization was still active, he/she posts data into the queue even
though the initialization had been deleted in the meantime. This is the case in
your system.
Q) In SMQ1 (qRFC Monitor) I have status 'NOSEND'. In the table TRFCQOUT, some
entries have the status 'READY', others 'RECORDED'. ARFCSSTATE is 'READ'. What
do these statuses mean? Which values in the field 'Status' mean what and which
values are correct and which are alarming? Are the statuses BW-specific or
generally valid in qRFC?
A) Table TRFCQOUT and ARFCSSTATE: Status READ means that the record was read
once either in a delta request or in a repetition of the delta request.
However, this does not mean that the record has successfully reached the BW
yet. The status READY in the TRFCQOUT and RECORDED in the ARFCSSTATE means that
the record has been written into the DeltaQueue and will be loaded into the BW
with the next delta request or a repetition of a delta. In any case only the
statuses READ, READY and RECORDED in both tables are considered to be valid.
The status EXECUTED in TRFCQOUT can occur temporarily. It is set before
starting a DeltaExtraction for all records with status READ present at that
time. The records with status EXECUTED are usually deleted from the queue in
packages within a delta request directly after setting the status before
extracting a new delta. If you see such records, it means that either a process
which is confirming and deleting records which have been loaded into the BW is
successfully running at the moment, or, if the records remain in the table for
a longer period of time with status EXECUTED, it is likely that there are
problems with deleting the records which have already been successfully been
loaded into the BW. In this state, no more deltas are loaded into the BW. Every
other status is an indicator for an error or an inconsistency. NOSEND in SMQ1
means nothing (see note 378903).
The value 'U' in field 'NOSEND' of table TRFCQOUT is discomforting.
Q) The extract structure was changed when the DeltaQueue was empty. Afterwards
new delta records were written to the DeltaQueue. When loading the delta into
the PSA, it shows that some fields were moved. The same result occurs when the
contents of the DeltaQueue are listed via the detail display. Why are the data
displayed differently? What can be done?
Make sure that the change of the extract structure is also reflected in the
database and that all servers are synchronized. We recommend to reset the
buffers using Transaction $SYNC. If the extract structure change is not
communicated synchronously to the server where delta records are being created,
the records are written with the old structure until the new structure has been
generated. This may have disastrous consequences for the delta.
When the problem occurs, the delta needs to be re-initialized.
Q) How and where can I control whether a repeat delta is requested?
A) Via the status of the last delta in the BW Request Monitor. If the request
is RED, the next load will be of type 'Repeat'. If you need to repeat the last
load for certain reasons, set the request in the monitor to red manually. For
the contents of the repeat see Question 14. Delta requests set to red despite
of data being already updated lead to duplicate records in a subsequent repeat,
if they have not been deleted from the data targets concerned before.
Q) As of PI 2003.1, the Logistic Cockpit offers various types of update
methods. Which update method is recommended in logistics? According to which
criteria should the decision be made? How can I choose an update method in
logistics?
See the recommendation in Note 505700.
Q) Are there particular recommendations regarding the data volume the
DeltaQueue may grow to without facing the danger of a read failure due to
memory problems?
A) There is no strict limit (except for the restricted number range of the
24-digit QCOUNT counter in the LUW management table - which is of no practical
importance, however - or the restrictions regarding the volume and number of
records in a database table).
When estimating "smooth" limits, both the number of LUWs is important
and the average data volume per LUW. As a rule, we recommend to bundle data
(usually documents) already when writing to the DeltaQueue to keep number of
LUWs small (partly this can be set in the applications, e.g. in the Logistics
Cockpit). The data volume of a single LUW should not be considerably larger
than 10% of the memory available to the work process for data extraction
(in a 32-bit architecture with a memory volume of about 1GByte per work
process, 100 Mbytes per LUW should not be exceeded). That limit is of rather
small practical importance as well since a comparable limit already applies
when writing to the DeltaQueue. If the limit is observed, correct reading is
guaranteed in most cases.
If the number of LUWs cannot be reduced by bundling application transactions,
you should at least make sure that the data are fetched from all connected BWs
as quickly as possible. But for other, BW-specific, reasons, the frequency
should not be higher than one DeltaRequest per hour.
To avoid memory problems, a program-internal limit ensures that never more than
1 million LUWs are read and fetched from the database per DeltaRequest. If this
limit is reached within a request, the DeltaQueue must be emptied by several
successive DeltaRequests. We recommend, however, to try not to reach that limit
but trigger the fetching of data from the connected BWs already when the number
of LUWs reaches a 5-digit value.
Q) I would like to display the date the data was uploaded on the
report. Usually, we load the transactional data nightly. Is there any easy way
to include this information on the report for users? So that they know the
validity of the report.
A) If I understand your requirement correctly, you want to display the date on
which data was loaded into the data target from which the report is being
executed. If it is so, configure your workbook to display the text elements in
the report. This displays the relevance of data field, which is the date on which
the data load has taken place.
Q) Can we filter the fields at Transfer Structure?
Q) Can we load data directly into infoobject with out extraction is it
possible.
Yes. We can copy from other infoobject if it is same. We load data from PSA if
it is already in PSA.
Q) HOW MANY DAYS CAN WE KEEP THE DATA IN PSA, IF WE R SHEDULED DAILY, WEEKLY
AND MONTHLY.
a) We can set the time.
Q) HOW CAN U GET THE DATA FROM CLIENT IF U R WORKING ON OFFSHORE PROJECTS.
THROUGH WHICH NETWORK.
a) VPN…………….Virtual
Private Network, VPN is nothing but one sort of network
where we can connect to the client systems sitting in offshore through RAS
(Remote access server).
Q) HOW CAN U ANALIZE THE PROJECT AT FIRST?
Prepare Project Plan and Environment
Define Project Management
Standards and
Procedures
Define Implementation Standards and Procedures
Testing & Go-live + supporting.
Q) THERE is one ODS AND 4 INFOCUBES. WE SEND DATA AT TIME TO ALL CUBES IF ONE
CUBE GOT LOCK ERROR. HOW CAN U RECTIFY THE ERROR?
Go to TCode sm66 then see which one is locked select that pid from there and
goto sm12
TCode then unlock it this is happened when lock errors are occurred when u
scheduled.
Q) Can anybody tell me how to add a navigational attribute in the BEx report in
the rows?
A) Expand dimension under left side panel (that is infocube panel) select than
navigational attributes drag and drop under rows panel.
Q) IF ANY TRASACTION CODE LIKE SMPT OR STMT.
In current systems (BW 3.0B and R/3 4.6B) these Tcodes don't exist!
Q) WHAT IS TRANSACTIONAL CUBE?
A) Transactional InfoCubes differ from standard InfoCubes in that the former
have an improved write access performance level. Standard InfoCubes are
technically optimized for read-only access and for a comparatively small number
of simultaneous accesses. Instead, the transactional InfoCube was developed to
meet the demands of SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM), meaning that,
data is written to the InfoCube (possibly by several users at the same time)
and re-read as soon as possible. Standard Basic cubes are not suitable for
this.
Q) Is there any way to delete cube contents within update rules from an ODS
data source? The reason for this would be to delete (or zero out) a cube record
in an "Open Order" cube if the open order quantity was 0.
I've tried using the 0recordmode but that doesn't work. Also, would it
be easier to write a program that would be run after the load and delete
the records with a zero open qty?
A) START routine for update rules u can write ABAP code.
A) Yap, you can do it. Create a start routine in Update rule.
It is not "Deleting cube contents with update rules" It is only
possible to avoid that some content is updated into the InfoCube using the
start routine. Loop at all the records and delete the record that has the
condition. "If the open order quantity was 0" You have to think also
in before and after images in case of a delta upload. In that case you may
delete the change record and keep the old and after the change the wrong
information.
Q) I am not able to access a node in hierarchy directly using variables for
reports. When I am using Tcode RSZV it is giving a message that it doesn't
exist in BW 3.0 and it is embedded in BEx. Can any one tell me the other
options to get the same functionality in BEx?
A) Tcode RSZV is used in the earlier version of 3.0B only. From 3.0B onwards,
it's possible in the Query Designer (BEx) itself. Just right click on the
InfoObject for which you want to use as variables and precede further selecting
variable type and proce -

But, as soon as you have selected an on demand title and the box tries to download, the screen freezes with the rotating triangle and the box just stops and reboots! We do not get any error message and at present have no other issues!
I have done all the obvious suggested things on the help screen (checking cable connections, rebooting, resetting registration ect) and rung BT help but after a frustrating 15 minutes of waiting and repeating our issue (apparantly their systems are running slow) the advisor asked to call back on my mobile. We have minimal signal in our home but we tried and after losing him twice he has not callled back! The advisor had started asking questions about our main BT socket before cut off so i wondered if he thought there might be a connection problem within the house, but I tried redoing all the connections for the hub and powerline adaptors in the main socket and it made no difference to our problem. I have limited knowledge and I just don't know where to start next.
We have had issues ever since we switched to BT vision from Sky of the box randomly switching itself off which have not been resolved by the recent software upgrade and I am fed up of paying for something that most of the time we can't use!Hello totallyfrustrated,
Is this still happening? This is quite strange, could you send in your details if it's still a problem and we'll get back to you?

Questions about OC and upgrading my 790FX-GD70
Hey Guys,
So Ive had this board for a while now (790FX-GD70) and am looking to throw some new parts on it, I want to throw the 1100T CPU on there (Unless MSI wisens up and enables AM3+ like they did for other boards) and was to throw in some 1600 or 1800 ram, Ive got a couple concerns though.
1. Ive never updated the bios on thsi board (I think its 3.04), frankly Im not a huge fan of doing it and avoid it unless I absolutely have to, will I need to update the bios to throw in a thuban?
2. The boards specs say that the board supports 1600/1800 member but only OC'd, so that means I need to OC the FSB right? But Im not sure how much overclocking this boards FSB can actually handle, if Im not mistaken for 1600 it will need to be 2400-2600 and even higher for 1800 memory. Can the board handle it? Will I have some major FSB heat issues?
2a. What do I need to overclock? Do I need to increase the bus speed or the fsb multiplier? What voltage do I need to set for the FSB at thoes speeds?
2b. Bus speed affects cpu clock as wel ldoesnt it? so if I boost the bus then do I have to throttle back the multiplier?
My goal is to have the 1100t running at around 4gz and the memory will either be 1600 or 1800, it depends what I find with good timings at a decent price.
Thanks guys!The Guide will come in handy. I have an 790FX-GD70 that I have done plenty of OC settings with my original Phenom II X3 720BE, and now my X6 1090T.
Overclocking is a trial and error project. When you get a better understanding about the effects of Overclocking you will learn that it's about stability with an overclock, and not setting records. Well.. unless record setting is a part you want to play with. Stability.. there are programs to test you overclock. Many of them, some available here in downloads. Prime, Futuremark, OCCT.. choices to help you test for stability. Play safe, step by step.. that way you avoid damaging your system. There are a lot of Overclock examples on the net. Search the board and overclock. The board is now a couple of years old.. but it was a hot.. overclock board. You can find it even with your CPU as examples to learn from.
Here's one for you.. you'll learn! You stated 1600-1800 memory speeds. OK, it's an overclock. But, the question is? Do you get a gain? Is 1800 really quicker than 1333? The number is bigger. 1600, or 1800 is bigger than 1333, or 1066. So, it must mean it's better and faster, right? Well.... if you compare reads and writes between 1333 and 1600 the gain is little or none. There are different CPU crunch uses. Like burning video or playing a game. Different demands, different setting results. The AM3 CPU is made for 1333. In some Overclocks because of timings... 1066 could offers quicker results than 1600. It's trial and tests. Not just CPU but Memory and more make an Overclock. Welcome to Overclocking. It's fun and done within limits... you will get more out of what you have. Me.. my best Overclock to date? Results I see from my 790FX-GD70? I have run 3.8 stable... and my SSD's are a better OC than tweaking my speeds. Both together... I have amid OC and am very happy.
Good Luck -
Can anyone tell me why this picture changes color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture I have taken from the same location. The image on the left is via preview and the image on the right is what is shows like when I try to download it. I have emailed it to myself and it shows fine on the computer and in CS4, but when I look at the download via my phone or on another computer it shows the wonky color on the right. I have checked the color space shows RGB/8 bit. Any ideas why or how to fix it? It isn't with any one specific session.... and I've tried it on both my desktop and my laptop- saved image to an external hard drive and to drop box. I've tried sending the image to canvas on demand, my email, mpxipro, POST editing- all the same result. Please HELP!! What am I doing wrong?
Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not. So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations. -
FIOS TV/DVR beginner questions
I'm a long time Dish subscriber that is considering switching after 10 years to FIOS TV, but after looking around at other forums, reading the scant info that I can find on the various Verizon sites, and reading the Motorola 7200 DVR manual - I still have a bunch of questions that I'm hoping some of you could answer so that myself and others can make an informed decision. I've got the FIOS internet and am very happy with the 20/5 service - its solid as a rock and fast as greased lightning.
Signal My Dish HD is quite compressed, and prone to lots of pixelation, yellow screens, and audio drops - and also free of charge you get a loud pop whenever the channel changes from SD to HD signal, along with the unavoidable volume differences between stereo and Dolby 5.1 audio when the signal goes HD to SD. I'm aware that most reviews indicate that the FIOS HD picture quality is hard to beat, but I'm wondering about the various audio and video problems and whether to expect a couple of dozen instances per hour show like I tolerage now on Dish? A great picture most of the time can still be ruined by a bunch of audio drops or 5 seconds of yellow screen every half hour. Does internet computer usage deteriorate the FIOS TV signal if you have a couple of computer users on-line while viewing or recording TV?
Content Dish has a 100 HD channels, FIOS in my area (Portland) has around 100 HD channels, with over 90% overlap. Dish has NBAtv, Fox Sports HD, CBC-college, and ESPNWS while FIOS has Big 10, ESPNU, and more of the movie channels in HD. The big difference seems to be VOD, but I can't find any comprehensive info on it. The Verizon website boasts of 11,000 monthly titles (8500 free), but you have to have some sort of user password to see the VOD choices on-line. I don't get the "monthly" thing either, seems like it would just be a growing VOD library that accumulates more titles, but the monthly thing makes it sound like some stuff disappears from VOD over time. Does the free VOD includes the recent movies, etc. or is all that stuff Pay per View and the free stuff is all kickboxing and fishing shows? Does anyone have a way for a non-FIOS TV subscriber to get a look at the list? The Verizon site just shows you a couple of titles and doesn't say whether they are free or PPV so it is hard to figure out whether VOD is something that I would use or not.
DVR's I currently have a 60 hour HD triple tuner ( 2 SAT, one OTA) Dish DVR (722) that I think is considered one of the better ones available. Besides the large hard drive, the unit also has a USB port that you can hang another 500G external hard drive off of after a $35 activation fee. I understand that FIOS is not allowed to do the same thing with their DVR's because of the copyright issues with the content being carried over wires instead of beamed from a satellite, although some things I read indicated that it still may be something they enable at some point. The other big difference is that the Dish DVR has all the outputs "hot" at the same time - meaning you can drive a bunch of TV's, SD and HD, simultaneously. I drive one SD signal 300 feet and a second HD signal 100 feet. I know the Motorola units that FIOS leases can only output one port at a time.
I read through the manual for the HD DVR (Motorola 7200) but Verizon lists the same manual for the "Home Media" DVR (Motorola 7216) so I can't tell what the real differences are between the DVR offerings.
In order to watch recorded or live shows on more than one TV - do you have to have a box (STB) per TV, whether using the Home Media DVR or the regular HD DVR?
Is the VOD content only available via the Home Media DVR, not the regular DVR? Is the only other main difference between DVRs the remote DVR functionality (internet programming)? I know there are some other multi-media things, pictures and music, but I'm focusing on TV. I don't get how FIOS can call the Home Media DVR "multi-room" if you still need a STB for other TV's, isn't that the same whether using a regular DVR or the Home Media DVR? Does anyone have a link to the actual 7216 manual?
How easy is it to change the output port? Is it a quick software change? My thinking is that if I hooked up a TV to HDMI, another to component, and maybe one to SD - how clunky is it to switch the output so that someone could watch TV1,2 or 3 (one at a time, of course). I'm also assuming that the audio ports will all work simultaneously so that one could send the video to HDMI, for example, and the audio to a receiver. So I think its only the video that is limited to a single output.
Does either DVR have an Over the Air digital antenna input?
Is the remote control RF or IR? Does it have the all important 30 second Forward skip button and 10 second Back skip button?
How long is the guide, a week, 2 weeks, etc?
I couldn't find much in either the manuals or the verizon website about the Interactive Media Guide. Is the VOD included in search functions? Are there TIVO like "season passes" and the ability to find and record new episodes of a show, etc.?
Are there any good reviews of the DVRs, the Interactive Media Guide, or something with more detail than Verizon's sketchy descriptions or the lousy 7200 manual?
I realize a lot of my DVR questions could be answered by proper documentation on the 7216 and the Interactive Media guide, so if someone has a link to detailed info on these items, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I've spent a lot of time and effort getting my Dish system all figured out and the way I like it, but the quality issues and cost have me exploring options.Does FIOS internet usage affect FIOS TV signal quality? (I have 20/5 service). Negative. The FiOS signal itself is only affected by physical damage and or equipment failure on our network equipment. Now if you you are talking inside of your house signal(there is a difference). VOD on FiOS is a strictly data service and is very bandwidth intensive due to the large size of the file itself. That is why we recommend you only watch one HDVOD at a time as the MOCA network in your house can't really handle two running at the same time with 100% QoS. So if I understand you correctly, VOD could be affected by heavy home network useage (or simultaneous VOD requests) but DVR recordings or live TVnot, or just less likely? That is correct. VOD services can be affected by heavy home data network useage. The live TV and subsequent recordings made of the liveTV to a DVR will not be affected by heavy home network useage.
Are there any futher plans for external hard drives and/or the HD DVR's to talk with each other? My manager has informed we are actively researching a solution to this problem. When or if anything will come of the research has yet to be seen.
How hard is it to switch outputs on the DVR (I'm assuming it is a software menu change)? Could it be programmed into a learning remote (keystroke macro) so that you hit one button for TV1, another for TV2, etc.? Last time i checked this was IMG 1.3. At that time all of the outputs were consistently on. There is no switching the output like there is switching a tuner on a TiVO. When i tested this in my video lab i hooked up a QIP6416 via HDMI and Component. Each output would show the same channel on either input ont the TV. Each output will only display whatever channel you have the STB currently tuned to. If this is not what you mean feel free to correct me. That is what I mean, my current config is one DVR hooked to SD TV1 via cable, HD TV2 via HDMI, and HD TV3 via component - and all three get signal simultaneously. I was told by a FIOS tech that only one output is "hot" at a time on the FIOS DVR. I understand that you can't watch channel X on TV1 and channel Y on TV2 simultaneously, but I'm wondering if you can watch channel X on TV1,2, etc. I went and tested on our QIP6416 model and unfortunatly you cannot only one output is 'hot" at this stage of IMG releases. From the looks of it the outputs are in a heirarchy hdmi ->component->s-video->composite->RF.
Can the IR remotes be programmed to run just DVR1 or just DVR2 if you put two in the same room (i.e. different code set for remote 1 and remote 2)? I note about 4 different remotes shown on the FIOS website, does the HD DVR have RF capability or will only IR remotes work with it? No the FiOS remotes are pre-programmed to work on every single FiOS STB. You could take your FiOS remote to another FiOS user's home and control their STB. Makes for some interesting fun. But it is all IR, right? The DVR's won't accept an RF remote signal? It is all IR.
Can channels be locked out on the guide so you don't see them, both adult and ones that you just aren't interested in? If you can lock them out of the guide, does that mean they won't show up in searches as well? There is currently no way to remove channels from the normal guide. We used to support this feature with our old guide produced by microsoft but the feature was left out of IMG. We have given the option for customers to setup multiple channel lists in guide format under the favorites option. You can set the guide button to pull up the first of those lists instead of the guide itself. You can lock the channels out but the titles will still be readable by anyone looking.
The "Welcome kit" PDF talks about being able to resolve timer conflicts for series, but I assume you can also assign priority to one time events and/or access a general recording schedule where you can manually resolve conflicts as well. Is that correct? Does the recording automatically pad sporting events with extra time on the end or do you have to set that up manually with each sporting event? Yes our recording schedule does will recognize recording conflicts. There will be a marker on the program in the guide informing you of a recording problem. There is also a section in the menu of the dvr that will show you the entire recording schedule with any conflicts. Yes you can set priority to whatever you want. No we do not pad for sporting events. That is something you will have do manually. Unfortunatly i do not see this changing anytime soon as it appears to be a limitation of our current guide data producer.
No OTA tuner in any FIOS DVR, correct? Correct.
The VOD descriptions say movies are "rented for 24 hours", but on the VOD list it shows a lot of older movies for free on top of the TV series,sporting events, etc.. Are these all just previews or is there a good inventory of free movies? In all honesty the free VOD movie selections are pretty limited and most of them are independent flicks or trailers. As soon as our HD on demand library is at an acceptable volume i believe we will be working in improving this aspect of VOD. The subscription based movie packages is where it is at though. The movie packages have pretty sizeable libraries that you get access to for free with the packages. Personally, i am partial to the Showtime on demand library(lots of good series). Please keep in mind though that our VOD library will change very frequently. VOD content is provided to us by the network that wishes to put it up. They can also will us to take it down as well.
I'll probably think of a few more, but that's it for now.
