Practical examples for SAP BI

Hi BI-experts!
Can some one please recommend some practical examples/case studies to gain practical experience with SAP BI?
- Data modelling/procurement and Reporting
- Integrated Planing
- BW based Consolidation
Also other web sources, SAP books will be very appreciated.
I already went through the first example "From the Data Model to the BI Application in
the Web" and SAP courses SAP BW305 and 310.
Any helpful information will be very appreciated.
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hi All,Can any provide an example for SAP MEMORY AND ABAP memory

Hi All,
Can any provide me an example for SAP MEMORY AND ABAP memory.
thanks&regards.
Bharat.

HI Bharat
A simple example of ABAP memory is using the EXPORT/IMPORT statements.
Here in this program, I get the data, export it to memory,
clear out the internal table in my progam, then reimport the data into it and write out the data.
You probably wounldn't do this in a normal program,
but this is how you can pass data from program a to program b when A Submits program B.
report zxy_0002 .
data: it001 type table of t001 with header line.
select * into table it001 from t001.
export it001 = it001 to memory id 'ZXY_TEST'.
clear it001. refresh it001.
import it001 = it001 from memory id 'ZXY_TEST'.
loop at it001.
write:/ it001-bukrs, it001-butxt.
endloop.
SAP Memory
SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access.
You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session,
or to pass data from one session to another.
Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters).
These parameters can be set either for a particular user
or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement.
Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement.
The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens
ABAP/4 Memory
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access
using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements.
Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data
to a program which you are calling,
the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made.
The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program.
The program called can then read from the ABAP memory.
If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
SAP memory
The SAP memory, otherwise known as the global memory,
is available to a user during the entire duration of a terminal session.
Its contents are retained across transaction boundaries as well as external and internal sessions.
The SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements allow you to write to, or read from, the SAP memory.
ABAP/4 memory
The contents of the ABAP/4 memory are retained only during the lifetime of an external session
(see also Organization of Modularization Units).
You can retain or pass data across internal sessions.
The EXPORT TO MEMORY and IMPORT FROM MEMORY statements allow you to write data to, or read data from, the ABAP memory.

Examples for SAP Memory and ABAP Memory

Hi all,
can u give me one example of sap memory and abap memory.
Ranjith

Hi,
SAP Memory
SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program at the time of logon using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens .
example:
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETERstatements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f
This statement saves the contents of field f under the ID pid in the SAP memory. The ID pid can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under pid, this statement overwrites it. If you double-click pid in the ABAP Editor, parameters that do not exist can be created as a Repository object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.
This statement places the value stored under the pid ID into the variable f. If the system does not find any value for pid in the SAP memory, sy-subrc is set to 4. Otherwise, it sets the value to 0.
ABAP Memory
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this memory area remains throughout a sequence of program calls, with the exception of LEAVE TO TRANSACTION. To pass data to a program that you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made from the internal calling session using the EXPORT statement. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory using the IMPORT statement. If control is then returned to the program that made the initial call, the same procedure operates in reverse.If a transaction is called using LEAVE TO TRANSACTION, the ABAP memory and the call stack are deleted. They cannot be used for data transfer.
Since objects belonging to ABAP objects can only be accessed within an internal session, it does not make sense and is therefore forbidden (from a syntax point of view) to pass a reference to an object to a calling program through the ABAP memory.
Example:
Export hello to memory id 'Hello_world'.
Import hello from memory id 'Hello_world'

Doubts in XI basics..help me with some practical examples

hi friends,
I am new to SAP XI have some basic doubts. Answer my questions with some practical examples.
1. what is meant by "Business System" and what is difference between client,customer,Business partner,3rd party
2.If a small company already using some systems like Oracle or peopleSoft,if it wants to use SAP products then what steps it has to follow.
3. SAP system means a SERVER?
4.SAPWebAs means a server software?
5.R/3 system comes under SAP system?
6.XI is also one of the SAP module..how it relates to other modules.
7.In one organization which is using SAP modules,each module will be load in separate servers?
8.PO(purchase order) means just looks like one HTML file..customer will fill the form and give it.like this,Combination of many files like this is one SAP module.Is it right assumption..?if so,then what is speciality SAP?
I have an theoretical knowledge about IR and ID and SLD.what are general business transactions happens in any business ?(like who will send cotation,PO) give some practical example for what actually happens in business?..who will do what?and what XI will do?

Hi Murali,
 1.Business System
Business systems are logical systems that function as senders or receivers within the SAP Exchange Infrastructure(XI).
Before starting with any XI interface,the Business systems involved has to be configured in SLD(The SLD acts as the central information provider for all installed system components in your system landscape.)
business system and technical system in XI
2.Third Party
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/09/6beb170d324216aaf1fe2feb8ed374/frameset.htm
eg.For the SAP system a Bank would be a third-party which would be involved in interfaces involving exchange of data(Bill Payment by customer).
3.XI(Exchange Infrastructure)
It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each other.
Eg.If an interface involves Purchase Order sent from SAP system to the vendor(Non-SAP system)then,the vendor might expect a file.But the Data is in the IDOC(intermediate document) form with the SAP system.Here XI does the work of mapping the IDOC fields and the File fields and sends it to the vendor in the form of a file.
In short,always the scene is Sender-XI-Receiver.
The Sender and the Receiver depends upon the Business you are dealing with.
4.Business Partner
A person, organization, group of persons, or group of organizations in which a company has a business interest.
This can also be a person, organization or group within this company.
Examples:
Mrs. Lisa Miller
Maier Electricals Inc.
Purchasing department of Maier Electricals Inc.
5.Client

Virtualization for SAP solutions

Hi all,
as i recently wrote a blog about 'Virtualization and enterprise SOA' and as we will have many virtualization related activities in 2007 i think it's a good idea to start a thread in this forum for general discussion about virtualization and its utilization in SAP landscapes.
As many of you know SAP is offering application virtualization capabilities in SAP NetWeaver with Adaptive Computing. This was introduced in at SAPPHIRE 2004.
Meanwhile virtualization concepts, technologies and products cover a much broader part of an SAP landscape, starting at network virtualization and going up to desktop virtualization. I am sure storage virtualization with SAN or NAS is almost a standard IT scenario, but some of the newer virtualization technologies are in their early stages first.
How are you using virtualization technologies today, and which concepts/products/... do you consider to be most important for your environment ?
Best regards
Roland

Hi Kwee,
my name is Nils and I am topic owner of the virtualization topic within SAP Consulting. You ask:
1. How will SAP system maintenance and administration be affected now that we have tools in VM that can hanlde copying, backup and recovery?
Generally spoken, SAP should react on this when it comes to cloning instances. Change of an SID still is not supported, so I would expect the SAP Virtualization Lab to provide a solution for this demand asap.
In the VMware context, our Consulting team developped an approach that lets you run SAPINST in a silent mode so that no user interaction is needed any more for installing application servers, central instances and so on. You create a master template for sapinst, and this template can then be modified script-based to deploy your dialog instances in background. Siemens implemented our solution as well as MAN Diesel in Kopenhagen
If you have customers who deal with this topic, ask them to order me for an implementation. Backup and recovery should still be performed on database or storage level (Netapp). If you ask the question more precisely, I will give you a more detailed answer.
2. What about SAP high availability and disaster recovery scenarios? How useful is clustering now that we have tools in VM that can offer an alternative solution?
Clustering still remains one of the operational keys. VMWare can never fully replace a Cluster although the fancy VMWare slides would like to make us thinking so. When it comes to disaster recovery, VMWare HA is a very fancy solution. But not every customer has the infrastructure and the money to implement VMWare HA. Also from a performance point of view, Clustering still stays a valid approach. Or did you ever try a HA-setup for a 8 TB solution with VMWare? A valid alternative for Clustering can be Adaptive Computing which gives you an enhanced availability (no high availability) bit downtimes of customer sometimes allow this and it is more stable than most cluster solutions around. You should also keep your eyes on Windows Server 2008! I spoke to Microsoft this week, and they put live-migration of virtual machines on their hot topic list again (after it was removed). Beginning of 2009, Windows Server will be able to migrate virtual machines in a live manner and also provide HA functionality for virtual machines. VMWare is still a little bit ahead of MS, but I saw the newest tools from MS, and this advantage is shrinking.
3. How will hardware sizing be handled for SAP upgrades and rollout of new functions in a VM architecture?
From a sizing perspecive, calculate an overhead of 20% for your hardware to be on the safe side. Sizing is a task to be done by the customer together with the hardware vendor. He needs to tell the vendor that he wants to operate SAP in a virtualized environment. The hard limit for this is the IO based on your approach how to host the virtual systems (VMFS based with central FC storage or container- based). The hard limit is 6000 SAPs at the moment, for larger implementations, a lot of money has to be spent, technically, more then 18.000 SAPs are possible (but do not make sense).
4. How can performance be optimized in a VM environment?
SAP-Performance? IO-Performance? There are some guidelines when it comes to the setup of virtual machines with SAP. You can find them here:
http://www.vmware.com/partners/alliances/technology/sap-whitepapers.html
Best Practice Guidelines for SAP Solutions on VMware® Infrastructure
Is there a SAP training that specifically deals with such topics?
No, but if you can take care on an IO, I could come over and teach you and your collegues about those topics. I developped a workshop I present to customers (one-day) about all of those topics mentioned here.
Best regards,
Nils, Technical Solution Architect, SAP Consulting

Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal

Hi,
We are implementing EP for ECC 5.0 and we have to web enable some FI transactions like FB50/fb60 etc. We want to use standard business package for this. The only business package that caters this requirement is "Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal 60.1". When i checked the data source for this business package, the specification is for "SAP R/3 4.6B and above". Does this work for ECC 5.0 as well? In general does the R/3 specific business packages work for ECC versions? Please let me know. Thanks for the help. I promise rewards.
Regards
Hari

Hari,
