Problem in creating time series objects for a planning area

Hi Friends,
I am working on SCM 4.0 APO. I am trying to create the time series objects for a 'Z'planning area which i have created. This Planning area is linked to a planning object structure which contains only three characteristics 9amatnr,9alocno & zplnpart. But the creation of time series objects is taking a long time. the screen just remains the same.
Can anybody encountered such a problem any time?
request you all to put some light as what could be wrong or causing the delay in creating them???
All helpfull answers will be suitably rewarded.
Thanks

Hi mv d,
I have a couple of questions:
1) how many Key Figures does your planning area have?
2) what is the length of your time series horizon?
3) how many characteristic combinations are currently in the Planning Object Structure? and how many newly character
I am asking because these aspects might affect the running time of the time series creation. Have you also tried creating the time series in the background? How long did it take there?

Time Series Objects for a Planning Area

Hi all,
Can anyone let me know why do we create Time Series Objects for a Planning Area.
What is its Role & significance..
Regards,.
Vishal.S.Pandya

time series is usually a Demand planning concept(and used in SNP as well but in SNP its predominantly the order series that plays a main role)
time series is a general concept in statistics(and forecasting) wherein the value of a key figure is represented in a time bucket
Time series gives you an idea of the gradual change in the values by time and the relation of the future based on the past
planning area in APO (and other tools) tries to represent this as a 2 dimensional model with time on the columns and key figures in the rows. the value that you load into the cells that are formed by the above are based on the characterisitic values you choose from your MPOS which is linked to the way the values are stored in the planning area
The planning area stores data for each key figure in the smallest unit of time(technical storage buckets) and the lowest level of characterisitc value combination

How to restore data of time series objects

Dear All,
I was checking functionality of report for Anchors
/SAPAPO/DM_LC_ANCHORS_DELMANDT
This deactivated all the planning areas by deleting time series objects. Hence the data lose.
Could i get back the data?
Regards,
Vijay

You can if you have a backup copy of time-series in an Infocube, then use the transaction /sapapo/tscube to copy back from the infocube into your planning area.
Otherwise I am afraid you are stuck somewhat.
Having looked at the coding, it seems that this report deletes ALL planning versions for the current client hence the reason why it deleted time series objects. You will need to Create another Planning version (via transaction /sapapo/mvm) then "Create Time Series Objects" for your Planning Area against this new planning version (via transaction /sapapo/msdp_admin). As I said, however, any time series objects will have been lost if you have no backup, this will only reinitialise the planning area.

Semiweekly Time Series Creation for DP

Hi,
I want to create a semiweekly (twice a week) time series for DP.
And this would be spread for 2 years (i.e. 1 year for the past and 1 year for the future).
So a total of 208 entries need to be made for this time series.
My understanding of the method is
1)     Create a fiscal Year Variant.
2)     Create a Storage Bucket profile based on fiscal Year Variant.
3)     Create a Time Series Object based on Storage Bucket profile.
4)     In the new Planning Area, provide the Time Series Object.
Correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Also can you provide the T-Code or Menu Path for the first three activities?
Regards,
Vikas

The Menu Path for
(1) Fiscal Year Variants
SPRO>APO> Supply CHain PLanning> Demand Planning> Basic Settings>Maintain Fiscal Year Variants
(2) Storage Bucket Profiles
SPRO>APO> Supply CHain PLanning> Demand Planning> Basic Settings>Define STorage Bucket Profiles
(3) I guess when you mean time series, you meant planning bucket profile
SPRO>APO> Supply CHain PLanning> Demand Planning> Basic Settings>Define Planning Bucket Profiles
(4) Define PLanning Area- /n/sapapo/msdp_admin
You define a storage bucket profile
(5) Define PLanning Book
You define the planning bucket profile

Time series objects and order objects on what condtion we need to use

Dear Experts ,
I have question regarding Time series objects and order objects
from my understanding
TIme series objects the data is stored in time buckets without
reference to orders.
Order objects the data is stored as orders. Key figure data is
then saved as orders if semantic 000 is entered in the detail view of the key
figures in the planning area.
my question is when to use the option 1 and when should not use
same for option 2
Many thanks
Regards
Raj

Hi,
This depends on the requirement you have also the application you are using.Like DP key figures are generally time series since in DP you do not need order numbers for example for history sales the requirement is the quantity period wise but not the order numbers.
Again in SNP the distribution and planned quantities are required order wisecoz you need the order numbers you execute the same in ECC system or for Pegging purposes.
Now the safety stock requirement can not be at order series since this is with relevent to some periods.
So overall i can say this depends on the requirement of the kay figure.
Hope this can help.

kaushik

Create a business object for a Maintenance object

Hello,
I want to create a business object for a maintenance object to change all XML attributes to XML elements.
Should I have to change the whole XML Schema from attributes to elements one by one?
For example, I create the business object CM_Person_BO for the maintenance object Person, and use the business object to add user in a more standard way.
But it is a quite large job to rewrite the whole schema for the maintenance object Person, which has following elements, which are PersonIdentifiers, PersonNames, PersonPhones, PersonCharacteristics, Person and SeasAddress.
Is there any easy way to do it?
Thanks,
Kerr

Should I have to change the whole XML Schema from attributes to elements one by one?
Is there any easy way to do it?Unfortunately not, you will have to define the schema containing each field/element, once. The primary objective is that you should create a scaled down version of the BO having only the required fields or subset of available fields, you may not need all the fields of a MO. This increases performance as the IO is performed only for specified fields in the BO.
You can define separate Data Areas for each Person object's context, i.e. Identifiers, Names, Phones, etc. and include them (includeDA) within the Person BO (CM_Person_BO) for clarity.

What I dislike after a week is makepkg not handling dependencies automatically (which would be overhead, so probably not appropriate).

How to create a new object for a particular class?

Hi,
Can anybody please tell the steps for creating a new object for a particular class.
Thanks,
Sreeja

Declare the object as TYPE REF TO the class and use the CREATE OBJECT statement to create an object.
DATA <obj_name> TYPE REF TO <class_name>.
CREATE OBJECT <obj_name>.
Please mark points if the solution was useful.

Creating Multiple Resource Objects for OOTB Connectors

All,
I am trying to create a second AD User resource object for the OOTB connector. I would like to think that the AD Connector (and all connectors, for that matter) was designed to handle the creation of multiple Resource Objects for the same Resource Types, but am I wrong? It doesn't seem like the OIM Connector can handle this easily.
Has anyone created multiple resource objects for a connector? Is this a fairly simple task, or will it require a large effort? Is it even possible? Any pointers?
Thanks!

I will provide a little help with the duplication. I found the best way to do it is to import the original connector. Go through the different pieces making each one have a unique name, that is not part of any of the other piece names. You need to have unique names for the following:
1. Resource Object
2. Process Definition - Provisioning
3. IT Resource
4. Form - Process
5. Scheduled Task
After you import the connector, rename each of the following to something unique. I would also update your process form to have a default value of your IT Resource, as well as your scheduled task values to point to the new unique names. Export the 5 items, no dependecies. The adapters will all be the same. Use find and replace for the values and then import the new XML. If it works, duplicate the XML for each of the new workflows you want to create.

Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?

Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?
tried to use ttsize function, but it gives some senseless results – for example, for the biggest table, tokens, it produces following output (that this table is 90GB in size – what physically cannot be true):
Command> call ttsize('tokens',null,null);
< 90885669274.0000 >
1 row found.

Are you able to use the command line version of ttSize instead? This splits out how much space is being used by indexes (in the Temp section of the TT memory segment), which I think is being combined into one, whole figure in the procedure version of ttSize you're using. For example:
ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb
Rows = 4
Total in-line row bytes = 17524
Total = 17524
Command> create index i1 on ia(a);
ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb;
Rows = 4
Total in-line row bytes = 17524
Indexes:
Range index JSPALMER.I1 adds 5618 bytes
Total index bytes = 5618
Total = 23142
Command> call ttsize ('ia',,);
< 23142.0000000000 >
1 row found.
In 11.2.2 we added the procedure ttComputeTabSizes which populates system tables with detailed table size data, and was designed to be an alternative to ttSize. Unfortunately it still doesn't calculate index usage though, and it isn't in 11.2.1.

Generating data source for a planning area

Hi all,
I have a problem when generating a datasource for a planning area as it gives the following logs.
Activate table /1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX
Tabble 1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX was activated with warnings
and the data source is not being activated.
I have also created an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX and tried to activate the datasource for the planning area ,it is saying the datasource already exists.
Can anyone give me a straight solution for this.
thnks in advance.

Hi Satish,
After you generate the datasource, go to transaction /n/sapapo/sdp_extr and try doing a check on this datasource. If you still get those warning/error messages, try the Repair datasource option and see if it fixes the issue. In RSA1, replicate this datasource and then try activating it there and see if it works. Don't create an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX, as this is not a standard recommended way of doing it. Good luck

Mohammed.

Data source for a planning area

Hi Experts,
I have created a data source 9AZDP_APAP for my planning area ZDP_APAP. When I'm creating this data source, SAP itself prefixing my datasource name with '9A'.
I'm wondering is this ( Starting the data sorce name with '9A') with in our system only or with every system.
If it is with every system then is there anyway I can override this.
The reason why I'm asking this question is my data source is giving error " M version is different from A version' in RSA1, when I'm trying to activate my datsource I'm getting authorization error. When I contacted my security people on this they are telling I'm not following the naming standards. They are telling that the data source name should start with Z.
All the inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy

Hi,
Generating a data source on a planning area in APO is really very helpful function we have. this will help us to save a lot lot time to generate cube/rules/source.
Definately, when system generates the data source it will follow its own logic "9A" which we can not change.
I guess you create a DataSource manually if required, where you can follow your own logic, but that is not really consistent as system generates. becuase when it generates, it will check for time char and all based on storage bucket profile and generates.
Hope my information will help you in understanding the importance of auto generation of data source

How to create a file object for a file on Remote Server? UNIX

Hi all,
I am working on two servers A and B. BOTH ARE UNIX MACHINES. My java class exist on server A and executes on same server. The file that I need to process resides on server B. (Lets call it test.txt in MYTEST directory. So path will be /MYTEST/test.txt on server B) I need to do few things before I can process it:
1) Check if file exist
2) If it does FTP it to Server A. (I already know how to.)
For both of these tasks, I need a File object for that file.
My problem is that I am unable to set it up.
\\B\MYTEST\test.txt will not work on UNIX. I already tried that. (It only works on Windows)
I tried:
/B/MYTEST/test.txt ---- Does not work
B:/MYTEST/test.txt ---- Does not work
:B/MYTEST/test.txt ---- Does not work
B:MYTEST/test.txt ---- Does not work
All of these instances say the same thing: "File does not exist."
Any ideas? Please help!!!

I by no means want to sound belittling... so don't take me that way..
You need to understand the basics of files, and networks. You can't check if a file exists on another machine if you don't have a network protocol to communicate with. The reason \\ works under windows is because you are using an invisible (to you) network protocol. You probably know it as windows sharing. If your file were not shared under it's own name, that method wouldn't work (I'm assuming your entire drive is shared without a password... a horrible security flaw...but one thing at a time)
You can use FTP protocol to check if a file exists. You can either send the raw text FTP commands through a socket connection in java, or you can use a freely available FTP java API to make it a bit more simple. You could also write a small java server on the other machine, and have it tell you what you need to know with a socket connection. In this way, you have created your very own network protocol.
