Phase out of HAL

With the phase out of HAL, does anybody know what the standard seems to be for the replacement? I know ODI comes with Planning but is it the app of choice or maybe one of the other applications (EPMA, DIM, DRM, FDM)?

I would suggest moving towards ODI. DIM is basically the Informatica ETL tool and should have similar features / complexity as ODI.
I have personally used EPM Architect and it mostly works -- the mostly is the gotcha. When something goes awry it can be difficult to troubleshoot and may also result in loss of data. The more complex your application the more likely you run into issues. If I recall maximum formula size for EPMA is 2048 bytes -- planning supports 8192 bytes natively; there is an open defect/enhancement to resolve this.
If you do go down the route of EPM Architect ensure you are patched to the latest patch levels which can be obtained through Metalink3.oracle.com using your support ID.
Good Luck,

Two Accounts. No updates for 90 days. How to Phase out one account?

I now live in Australia. I have always had an iPhone. And when I moved, I had to create an Australian account to get access to my ANZ banking app here. Now I have two accounts that I have purchased apps under. These two accounts coexsisted with minor anoyances for the two years I lived here with my 3GS. But I upgraded to a 4S and started the iCloud experience. It still went fine until I turned on;
Automatic Downloads in iOS and iTunes
Now I can't upgrade any apps purchased with my American account. No worries I said. I'll just buy them again with my Australian account and phase out my American account. I'm here for good. Nope. Tried to re-buy after logging in to my Australian account and it forces me to sign in to the account that I purchased it with. What is the fix for phasing an old account out and purchasing just with my one Australian account. Cause I need to update some of these apps to get full iOS 5 compatablilty on some of my American purchased apps. And it says I can't do that now for 90 days.Make sense? Couln't be as easy as merging two accounts. Could it?
Shayne

OK, You are right you can't merge. What I have to do is unauthorise my American account on my Macbook Pro in iTunes and repurchase the American apps (that are in Oz) on my Australian account. The part that I couldnt figure out was the authorisation. It would not let me re-purchase an app with my Australian account as it was telling me I already had it in my US account. It will mean some repurchasing but I will eventually get it whittled down to one account and then everything will run smoother.

Phase out settings at a higher level such as brand or major customer

Have any of you ever setup phase out assignments at a higher level than product and had it work correctly? For example, we want to phase out a brand for a major customer. In other words, a customer is dropping a brand and we don't want statistical forecast generated for that brand customer combination any longer. I am able to setup the fields in phase out lifecycle settings for product, brand, major account but when i enter the brand and major account I am still getting forecast generated. It appears to stop for some products within the brand but not all. Another example is if a customer quits ordering from us I want to setup the major customer to phase out so no forecast is generated.
If you have done this successfully please let me know. Or if you would handle these situations in a different manner other than phase out please let me know. We can do historical adjustments each period but that is a lot of maintenance to do after each period before statistical forecast is generated.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Stephen,
Life cycle planning works only at the detail level (each CVC), the option of aggregate planning is helpful if you want to phase in or out a certain CVC when you are forecasting at the aggregate level.
One option is that you should have all products in the "profile assignment for life cycle " section which falls under that brand and customer. you can maintain a file and then automate the upload process in to the "assignment"
or
you can try to use the copy functionality in the realignment (/SAPAPO/RLGCOPY) , where you maintain copy factor as NIL and when the stat fcst is generated, you can use this as the next step to zero out -but you would need to maintain them manually.
or
easiest and safest wayy would be create a selection for those combination and do not include them in the planning job for stat fcst.
or
you can build a customised program to access the PA, PB, Data view and input the selection to zero out the stat fcst KF for that particular selection after the stat fcst run. here you would need to check if the diaggregated values are good enough.
hope it helps.

Urgent! how to add Warning for Phase out product

Hi, Can anyone guide soon on how to add a warning message when an Order/Quatation in SAP CRM for phase out product is created so that any sales representive will come to know if total amount/unit defined in the order can be delivered. Reason is to avoid bigger quantity being entered compared to remaining quantity in warehouse.

Hi Piyush
You can define a status in the product master. If you are downloading the product from ECC, you can mention the reason in the material master as "Phase Out Product" and when you download this product in CRM, the status will be shown in Sales and Distribution tab against the field Status.
If the reason is added, then it will give a error message to the sales representative that the product is blocked or phased out.
Hope this will be useful
Thanks and Regards

Mozilla to phase out non-secure HTTP

Mozilla has announced its intent to phase out all use of "standard" HTTP, replacing it by the (more-)secure HTTPS. This involves:
Setting a date after which all "new" features will be available only to secure websites
Gradually phasing out access to browser features for non-secure websites, especially features that pose risks to users’ security and privacy....
The second element of the plan will need to be driven by trade-offs between security and web compatibility. Removing features from the non-secure web will likely cause some sites to break.

Thank you, thank you, thank you FredMcD!! It was my AVAST anti-virus software. I had the "Web Shield" turned on, so all I did was turn it OFF, so now I can browse on the Internet on any website. When you first install Avast anti-virus, the Web Shield by default is turned on. This really should be turned off as not to freak out new users, especially by those that are not computer savvy. I cannot thank you enough! Take care. :-D

Aggregated phase in phase out profile

I am facing one issue while running forecasting for phase in phase out profile at aggregated or base pack level.
I have a scenario in which consider base pack level is "A" and under this bas pack are product codes "B", "C" & "D"
I have assigned phase out profile for product "D" as it is being phase out after certain months and I am executing forecast at pack size level which is "A." After running the forecast I get message from system that "maximum number of periods has been processed which is 52 and phase in phase out profile can not be executed".
However if I execute the forecasting at product level it carries out the forecast. and runs the phase out profile.
In the settings for life cycle planning transaction in basic settings I have checked aggregated phase in phase out profile for life cycle planning
Please inform how this can be resolved.

Hi Jignesh,
Did you check the spool list after batch job run, to see if Phase in/out is appled to the material for which life cycle is assingned. Also I would advice to go and double check all setting is dates are defined correctly etc.
I would presume you might have done all these, if you still have the issue check notes 1222953 and 1223746 and apply. This should resolve your issue.

Tracing Phase out Profile

Hi All,
Just a quick question...
is it possible to trace phase out profile i.e (transaction MSDP_FCST1)
I just wanted to know who has created the phase in/out profile?
Thanks and best Regards

Items Phase Out Status?

Hi,
Is it possible to set an item to phase out, i.e. when the stock has gone then to disable it?

HI,
I dont think so,Ricky.We cannot do that but if you have some forecast about stock out,then you can set the date from which it will become ineffective

Aperture Phase Out, Lightroom Migration?

Since Apple is reportedly going to phase out Aperture (Per TechCrunch "“With the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them from anywhere, there will be no new development of Aperture,” an Apple spokesperson told TechCrunch")" does anyone know a good way to migrate Aperture's libraries to Lightroom?
TechCrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/27/apple-to-cease-development-of-aperture-and-tran sition-users-to-photos-for-os-x/
Adobe: http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2014/06/apple-aperture-news.html
As best I can find, one can migrate Aperture files to Lightroom, preserving some keywords and EXIF, but losing all edits. For a library of thousands of photos, that would mean throwing away months and months of work that could never be duplicated.
Of course, the files can simply be exported as JPEGS, but then the advantages of non-destructive editing are lost. I don't know a way to export to the DNG format, nor export RAW files with edits.
Please tell me I am wrong and my Aperture library won't be frozen in time and I'll have to start over archiving every photo.
Thanks / jim

No reason not to hedge bets and make a move now. Even if the speculation that Photo can recreate your Aperture edits is true, you might not like the WAY it does it. Or other features. Or maybe you've got a new camera and Apple is behind on RAW (like mine). Or maybe you just don't wanna have all your photo edits in one basket.
I doubt anyone is gonna come up with an acceptable tool to import edits. We would have seen that already. But how often are you going back to those edits in Aperture? as opposed to re-editing? Even with some of my old photoshopped stuff and whatnot, and even though I have the tools to do so, some of the newer editing software is so good it's better to start over from the original anyway. And as noted, Aperture will be around for that. My copy is, even though I abandoned it quite a while ago. It's just an old tool you keep around.
So one strategy is that only new imports go into LR (although there are other choices). If you need a bunch of older stuff, you transition that. Otherwise you leave things be. In that situation, if I needed edits and/or embedded metadata, I'd export TIFFs into the finder folder where the masters were, writing metadata to xmp and/or jpgs as appropriate, and import into LR. Note that Aperture is still referenced those and can still find them. So you can either work forward from the TIFF, or redo the edits on the original.
What would be super useful IMHO would be a tool to export the metadata into jpgs and into XMPs for RAWs WITHOUT having to export. You wouldn't get edits, but location info, keywording, captioning, etc would be very very nice to have.
And that brings me to structure. The LR analogue to projects/albums/folders are collections and collection sets. How to replicate that for an existing group of folders, since it doesn't import? (Because LR just mirrors your filesystem folders, it's "import" (almost more like "show") function has no "import folders as projects" kind of deal.) For this I used keywords, since they can be hierarchical, and can be written into the files.
So you when you export a project/album like "2014 Wedding Project/Ceremony Album" you keyword all the photos with that (in LR 2014 wedding project>ceremony album). That way you can find that structure in that form even if it was stored in a finder folder called ~/Pictures/Family Photos. And in LR it's easy to turn a filtered selection into a collection, or use a smart collection. This way you can preserve some of the structure you're used to seeing in Aperture in the LR collection set/collection tab. And if later synchronize another edit or metadata (a very handy tool for use on folders within LR), it can bring up updated metadata and import new files. And if they have the same keywords, you could use a smart collection based on those keywords to replicate "2014 Wedding Project" or whatever.

RM Material Phase Out

Hi,
How do you phase out a material, then Phase IN another material? The scenario is, i need to Phase out Material A on 12/31/2008 then replace the it with Material B on 01/01/2009 so that, the FG will use this Material B in its BOM on that date.
Thanks for your valuable inputs in advance!
Piscasio

Hi Sumeet,
Thanks for the valuable input. The Disc. Indicator and the Eff Out solves my problem.
I have a follow up question though, I do see that there are validity dates for each material/item at the BOM. But how do I change these validity dates? They are gray-ed out and un-editable.
Thanks in advance.

Phase out of desk intelligence documents

HEllo there,
does anyone know when SAP-BO will phase out the use of Deskintelligence documents?
will they keep the viewer active?
I did't find any communication about that
Many regards
Thierry

The last service pack for XI R2 is due June/July 2010. Which means any issues found in Desktop Intelligence after that may not be delivered fixed. Further, next major BO enterprise release may not contain Desktop Intelligence.
However, customers are free to use Deski as long as they wish. Some are even using it in BO 6.5 environment.
Hope I could claify.
Thanks

Abt Like, Phase-In and Phase-Out profiles

Hi,
Can some1 explain me what is<b> Like, Phase-In and Phase-Out profiles</b>?
What is it's good for?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Siva.

Hi Sivaprakash.
Like modelling (including phase in/phase out) is primarily used for introduction of new products and is normally called Lifecycle Planning:
Example:
Suppose you are introducing SKU2 to replace SKU1.
You want to forecast demand for SKU2 but there is no history for this new product.
You could use a Like profile to use the history of SKU1 to forecast demand for SKU2.
You could use a phase-in profile to model the build of demand of SKU2 from zero up the forecast demand (it is very unlikely that demand will go from 0 to 100% of forecast from day one)
Similarly, you could use a phase out profile for SKU1 to model the fall of demand from 100% forecast to zero.
All together, the transition of demand from one product (SKU1) to a replacement product (SKU2) can be fully modelled using these profiles.
This is all quite well documented in <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/8f/9d6937089c2556e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm">help.sap.com - lifecycle planning</a>
Hope this helps.

Why MacBook White has been phase out?

Why MacBook White has been phase out?

I'm not sure what specifically you are referring to by phased out. Electronics at some point start to become obsolete as they get older.
Or, if you mean why did Apple stop producing the MacBook, Apple never gave a public announcement as to why, so we do not know.
