_Patch level in SAP HANA Note and _Build No in SAP HANA

Hello Hana Gurus!
I need to know where can I find the patch level in the SAP HANA and SAP HANA Notes
For example, if I want to apply a note
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1964428
there is specified:
Software Component
Support Package
Patch Level
SAP HANA DATABASE 1.00
SP069
2
SP070
0
Ok. I read a lot of sources and understand the following:
To know the HANA Studio version:
Help->About SAP HANA Studio.
It will be like
Version: 1.0.27
Build id: 201205021925 (361805)
Here 1.0.27 means -> 1.0 version and Revision is 27 and Build No is : 361805
Re: From Studio, how to know the HANA DB Version
That is, if we apply 1964428 note, the system is upgraded to SP069 and SP070. Is that correct?
But what Patch Level means in this (and some other) note (value 2 and 0)?
Where I can check Patch Level in the HANA?
And, what are figures Build No indicate
UPD:
Here Re: Where we can check Patch leveles in HANA? referred to a certain table "M_HOST_CONFIGURATION". But in my system it does not exist. or tell me where to find it?

Hi Kirisetti,
please findanswers in italics
1)
I understand the database version and the studio version is not the same thing. But why do they match my system (see picture)? Or still the same thing?
By the way, to see the version of the database I used table SYS.M_DATABASE
A revision is released with all HANA components are part of the revision release and not just HANA DB server. So it is always ideal that you have all HANA components on same version as in your case. However is is technically feasible that you are usinga older version of Studio to connect to a newer version of HANA DB server. so Help-> About Studio would give you version of the studio and "select version from SYS.M_DATABASE" gives you version of the HANA DB server.
2)
and for the version and patch level
1.0.69.02 would mean HANA DB is on Revision 69 , patch 02
1.0.70.00 would mean HANA DB is on Revision 70
Soultion for the problem is to update your HANA DB to revision 69, patch 2 or Revision 70.
Did I understand correctly, if the note indicated Patch Level = 0, then we simply speak about updating to Revision, implying that no Patch Level? Or how it can be understood?
I'm assuming here you wish to know if you are downloading the right software for the update.
if there is a patch mentioned it is available as "Mantainence Revision <rev no>.<patch no>" for download and if there is no patch level mentioned(patch level = 0) they is avaliable as "Revision <rev no.>". Also update procedure for both Revision and patch is the same.
3)
Did I understand correctly, the first figure in the Build number (Build id) indicates the Patch Level? How it is possible to interpret the Build number (Build id) more? These figures represent something?
This build number is something that comes out of build repositiory. HANA version mentioned in all notes and guide refer to just the Revision number and patch level currently. You can ignore the build number

How to create a decision tree in ABAP (in SAP or not, and how????)

Hello,
I have to create a decision tree which has to be called within a BAPI.
This tree finally has to return 1 single value.
Can you tell me what's the best solution for this ?
Should I do this with abap, or should I call a webapplication which provides this tree for me ?
It would be great if you could provide some example-code for me.
Kind regards,
Gert-Jan

I am not sure I understood what you meant by decision tree. If you are simply talking about arriving at an answer based on one or more inputs, then it is a simple IF ELSEIF ELSE statements or CASE statements.
Can you please elaborate/give example of what you mean by decision tree?

Connect Non SAP Oracle DB and MSSQL DB to SAP BW 7.0 Orace 10g system

Hi All,
Well I have a scenario, where I have to connect Non SAP Oracle 9i DB and MSSQL DB (2000, 2005) to SAP BW 7.0 Orace 10g system.
There are all together 4 Non SAP systems to be connected.
Up till now I have understood that in order to have to integrate Oracle 9i to BW system - TSNNames.ora has to be updated, then create new Logical system, then Create Source system in RSA1 with all the required information, Create user at Oracle 9i end.
As far as MSSQL Server is concerned - Client Software + DB Shared Library has to be installed in BW server.
Could anybody please guide me in the complete Basis Activities including above to complete the process.
I tried to create Source System, the initial screen has fields - Logical System, Source System & Type and Release.
I have created the Logical system through Tcode SALE
How to create Type and Release - for DB Oracle 9i & MSSQL 2000/2005.
Does OS version of DB & BW also matters ? Do we need to have that information as well.
Thanks & Regards

Creating Logic and modeling for SAP BW datasource in SAP HANA views and SLT

Hi to all,
I have small question.
We have BW system and SAP ECC as source system and to get data from SAP ECC source system we are using SAP ECC Standard data source.
Now we required to, create modeling in SAP HANA by use of HANA View and get data from SAP ECC source table via SLT.
So we can replicate same modeling,as we done in SAP BW system.
But my question is that, as SAP ECC standard data source hit multiple table and do run-time calculation, before sending to SAP BI.
How we can derives such calculation and logic, in our HANA studio, because as we know in SLT data transformation can be done in limited way also
in view we can not drive such logic via SQL script ?.
Is there any way we can do such modeling and logic in SAP HANA ?
or
is there any standard document for this type of case, which we can use ?
Note: We don't want to use SAP DS or DXC for data loading to HANA, as we want it in more real time.
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Thanks for reply,
As SLT is based on ABAP, so we can write complex logic in it.
But if we talk about SAP ECC standard data source, they have complex logic, based on multiple table.
So we need to write code from scratch in SLT to derive same result. but it will be huge time consuming , and required good ABAP skills, also it will lead to bug in code.
Also it will reduce the real time performance of SLT, due to complex logic.
Second option is procedure via SQL script, which is again huge effort in term if logic and can lead to error/bug in logic.
Does we have any other way or architecture to do this is very simple way, with high performance and less error issue.

SAP HANA : differences and costs

Dear All,
HANA is designed to enable faster ways to process data from business applications in real time, without impacting the underlying source system. I believe HANA will bring new and interesting opportunities to SAP. Which are the most important technical differences between HANA, BWA and BOEA? Which are the cost differences?
Regards,
Bob

Bob,
Here are my thoughts:
HANA: Here's my recommendation for the best in-class next-generation BI solution. Deploy HANA as a standlone server with two logical system partitions. 1st partition for standalone HANA modeling and 2nd partition to host HANA DB for BW 7.3. This way you get to exploit HANA performance for both SAP BW system as a database and also use the HANA power for standalone non-BW (ECC and flat-file) application that need good performance.
BWA: I would not recommend a BWA solution for a new BW implementation. Given the fact that SAP has announced recently that BWA 7.3 will be the last release for BWA. However, if there is a critical BW application in production that needs better performance, then BWA will be a quick fix solution. The cost difference between an SAP HANA solution and a BWA solution is narrowing down quickly. I do not want to go into details of cost.
BOEA (aka BOE Accelerator Version): Guys, there is some confusion here. BOEA does not support BWA acceleration for non-BW data source data. Meaning that if you are using BOEA (accelerated version) - you can load non-SAP and Non-BW data but can not accelerate the data using BWA unless the data is put in an SAP BW info provider (cubes,etc..). Only BW info providers in a BOEA solution can exploit BWA acceleration. Other data (non-SAP and Non-BW ) can only exploit on indexing capability of BOE internally but not the BWA. BWA portion of BOEA is specific to BW in the backend.
Also, please read my executive summary on SAP HANA @ http://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/u1AO5NidaMTYSD49JoHsjg

Rama

Business area with SAP support in SAP OSS notes #

Dear all,
I would like to search OSS documentation which mention that SAP does not support business area anymore? anyone knows the exact OSS number for thatstatement ?
Because as far as I remember, SAP does not recommend business area. SAP advised customer to use PCA or new GL instead.
Thank you for your kind help.
Kind regards,

Check OSS Note 321190. Here is one section:
To meet the changing requirements, we will focus the further
functional developments in Financial Accounting on the profit
center entity. With General Ledger Accounting (new) in Release SAP
ERP 2004, you can create financial statements for profit centers.
See Note 756146 for more detailed information.
o The business area will be retained in the present form. The data
and functions will continue to be available. In the context of the
use of classic General Ledger Accounting, business area accounting
(Customizing OB65 for business area financial statements, SAPF181
and SAPF180) will continue to be supported to the known extent;
only a further development in the context of classic General Ledger
Accounting is not planned.

Sap-is oil and gas

Hi all,
My Qualification is MSc(Geophysics) related to oil and gas exploration.cureently i am working on sap abap from past two years.now i want to shift my career in to sap-is oil and gas. what is sap-is oil and gas. what are the prerequisites for the sap-is oil and gas.

My Qualification is MSc(Geophysics)
It is amazing that the world is still oval and not flat again.
>cureently i am working on sap abap from past two years.
You have also been a pain in the ABAP forums and still have 51 questions you have not followed up on.
now i want to shift my career in to sap-is oil and gas.
That is probably a good thing for ABAP.
what is sap-is oil and gas.
If I remember correctly, that is the way you started your career in ABAP as well... but the thrêad was deleted together with vaste number of others.
what are the prerequisites for the sap-is oil and gas.
Huge oil and gas reserves distributed redundantly, preferably on other planets which mirror the earth in case something goes wrong... (Swamy's Law)
Good luck, take care and don't look back!

Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.

Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
         - For lookup table extraction
         - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
          - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
          - For Main table records.
          - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...

G/L Account mentioned on line level does not get hit in Journal entry on GRPO and AP Invoice in SAP B1 9.0 PL - 11

Hi,
G/L Account mentioned on line level does not get hit in Journal entry on GRPO and AP Invoice in SAP B1 9.0 PL - 11
I am creating an independent AP Invoice, there are two issues:
1. On line level G/L Account field is not open for selection
2. I have then selected and updated the account on Form Settings. Same account gets updated on line level.
In Journal Entry selected G/L account on line level shall be hitted. But it does not put any effect on JE. Accounting is set by Warehouse. It picks up accounts from warehouse only.
Need help its urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Invoice is Item Type.
G/L Accounts are set by Warehouse. But if explicitly we are want to change the account on line level in that case, it is not getting reflected in Journal entry. On AR Invoice same scenario works perfectly. On line level I can change the accounts explicitly and have the effect on Journal entries.
Issue seems to be on AP side only.
As required please find attached the screen shots.
JEwith mapped GL Account on Warehouse
JEwith different GL Account on line Level via Form Settings

PO creation-ME21n-Why SAP does not check company code and Plant relation

Hi All,
Does someone know, why SAP does not check Plant and company code relation at the time of PO creation or how can we put validation between plant and company code at the time of PO creation.
<b>Example:</b> Suppose i have a company 0001 which is assinged to Plant 0001. when i am creating a PO with another company code 0002(Entering at header level-Org, data) and using Plant 0001 at line item level. SAP does not do this validation.
How can we put this check in place?
Thanks in advance.
Deepak

Hello Deepak,
There are three types of purchasing
- Company code specific :You need to assign company code to Pur organization
- Plant specific : You must assign plant to pur organization
- Cross company purchasing: No assignment between company code and pur organization.
In the case 3, the system will not check company code and plant relationship, but it will check plant and pur organization specific.
The following is the copy of sap help text:
You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.
You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code. This purchasing organization can then procure for all plants assigned to it, irrespective of the company code to which the plant belongs.
Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the company code can be determined via the plant in each procurement transaction, even if the procuring purchasing organization is not assigned to a company code.
A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants. This is plant-specific purchasing.
Now, check your company-code and purchase organization assignment.
Hope this helps.

HI wat's use of notes and patches in sap why its require..

Hi can anyone give me idea about notes and patches why its required and wat's its effect in technical side and in functional side also..
Thanks & Regards,
Nainesh.

Sorry,The print did not come.
In order to fix one of the problem in R/3 system, SAP will asked you to download an OSS notes which is a ".car" file.
To work with a CAR File do the following at OS Level:
Get into OS as <sapsid>adm
Copy the .CAR file to a Temporary Directory.
Uncompress the file with SAPCAR
Copy the the data file generated in the data transport directory
( ej: = /usr/Sap/trans/data).
Copy the the cofile file generated in the cofiles transport directory
( = ej: /usr/Sap/trans/cofiles).
Run transaction STMS
Upload the support package with SPAM transaction and the support package will show "New support packages".
Examples of CAR command :-
   1) UNIX only:
       Log on as user <sapsid>adm.
       cd /usr/sap/trans
       CAR -xvf tmp/<ARCHIVE_NAME>.CAR -V
   2) Windows NT only:
       Log on as user <SAPSID>ADM.
       cd \USR\SAP\TRANS
       CAR -xvf TMP\<ARCHIVE_NAME>.CAR
This Will create two(2) FILES
After you run SPAM you MUST run STMS and check the transport queues
As per 315963 note you can direct made the changes in the program or you can apply the support pack.
a) If you want to apply correction then first you need to register the object in SAP, so that you will get the Access key and then you can make the changes.
b) If you want to import the support pack then you need to down load from SAP market-place. and this is in CAR file. and then you need extract the same using CAR utility.
ex: CAR -xvf abc.car
or
you can directly apply the patch from SAPGUI, login to 000 client and then you can load the patch from Presentation server.
Also check what is your current basis patch level?
For example if you want to apply patch 07 and you are having 05 then you need to apply 06 and then apply 07.
Things to take note of:-
It would definitely be better to apply the latest spam/saint spam manager, tp, R3trans and possibly a new kernel patch.
This is not a simple task to complete on the fly. By applying SAP support packs, you may run into problems with SPDD and SPAU adjustments. Also include the fact that the support packages may break one of your transactions. You may want to test this in your sandbox environment, if you have one, before tackling it.
In most situation when you apply support packages, it can takes about 3 weeks to fully test the support packages before you can apply them to the production system.
Do test your "golden" transactions to make sure that they are not broken. If you are not familiar with SPDD and/or SPAU adjustments than do not attempt to load support packages.
You may be better off just to modify the SAP object in question via OSS note.

SAP HANA One and Predictive Analysis Desktop - Time Series Algorithms

I have been working on a Proof-of-Concept project linking the SAP Predictive Analysis Desktop application to the SAP HANA One environment.
I have modeled that data using SAP HANA Studio -- created Analytic views, Hierarchies, etc. -- following the HANA Academy videos. This has worked very well in order to perform the historical analysis and reporting through the Desktop Application.
However, I cannot get the Predictive Analysis algorithms -- specifically the Time Series algorithms -- to work appropriately using the Desktop tool. It always errors out and points to the IndexTrace for more information, but it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. The HANA Academy only has videos on Time Series Algorithms using SQL statements which will not work for my user community since they will have to constantly tweak the data and algorithm configuration.
In my experience so far with Predictive Analysis desktop and the Predictive Algorithms, there is a drastic difference between working with Local .CSV / Excel files and connecting to a HANA instance. The configuration options for using the Time Series Algorithms are different depending upon the data source, which seems to be causing the issue. For instance, when working with a local file, the Triple Exponential Smoothing configuration allows for the specification of which Date field to use for the calculation. Once the data source is switched to HANA, it no longer allows for the Date field to be specified. Using the exact same data set, the Algorithm using the local file works but the HANA one fails.
From my research thus far, everyone seems to be using PA for local files or running the Predictive Algorithms directly in HANA using SQL. I can not find much of anything useful related to combing PA Desktop to HANA.
Does anyone have any experience utilizing the Time Series Algorithms in PA Desktop with a HANA instance? Is there any documentation of how to structure the data in HANA so that it can be properly utilized in PA desktop?
HANA Info:
HANA One Version: Rev 52.1
HANA Version: 1.00.66.382664
Predictive Analysis Desktop Info:
Version: 1.0.11
Build: 708
Thanks in advance --
Brian

Hi,
If you use CSV or XLS data source you will be using Native Algorithm or R
Algorithm in SAP Predictive Analysis.
When you connect HANA, SAP Predictive Analysis uses PAL Algorithm which runs
on HANA server.
Coming to your question regarding difference,
In SAP PA Native Algorithm, we could provide the Data variable, Algorithm
picks the seasonal information from the Data column. Both R and SAP HANA PAL
does not support Date Column. We need configure seasonal information in
Algorithm properties.
R Properties
1) Period : you need to mention the periodicity of the Data
Monthly : (12)
Quarter : (4)
Custom : you can use it for week or Daily or hourly.
2) Start Year: need to mention Start year.
Start year is not used by algorithm for calculating Time series, but it helps
PA to generate Visualization ( Time series chart) by simulating year and
periodicity information.
3) Starting Period:
if your data is Quarterly and you have data recordings from Q2, mention 2 in
start period.
Example.
If the data periodicity is Monthy and my data starts from Feb 1979, we need to provide following information,
Period: 12
Start year: 1979
start Period: 2
PAL Properties. : Same as properties defined in R.
Thanks
