Questions regarding new functionalities in EhP 4 - Reporting Financials 2

Dear Forum,
in a project we would like to use some new functionalities from Reporting Financials 2 - ie. Datasource 0FI_AA_20 for Depreciation and Amortization loading to BI for following years as this can not be done by old extractor.
We are know looking for reliable information about impact and changes that are made in ERP if we switch on the functionality Reporting Financials 2 via SFW5? Will old extracors work nevertheless? Will all reports in ERP work without problems? Is there any impact on business processes? Or is this just additional functionality which will not affect current implementation?
Can anybody give information about this?
Thanks, regards
Lars

Marc,
Some additional questions regarding locking.
I encounter that the dataset that is locked depends on the restrictions made in the 'Characteristic Restrictions'-part of the query.
Restrictions in the 'Default Values'-part are not taken into account. In that case all data records of the characteristic are locked.
Q1: Is that correct?
To give an example: Assume you restrict customer on hierarchy node in Default Values. If you want people to plan concurrently this is not possible since all customers are locked then. When customer restriction is moved to Char Restr the system only locks the specific cutomer hier node and people can plan concurrently.
Q2: What about variables use in restricted keyfigures like variable for fy/period? Is only this fy/period locked then?
Q3: We'd like to lock on a navigational attribute. The nav attr is put as a variable in the filter of the Characteristic Restrictions. Does the system then only lock this selection for the nav.attr? Or do I have to change my locking settings in RSPLSE?
Then question regarding locking of data for functions:
Assume you use the BEx Analyzer and use the query as data_provider_filter for your planning function. You use restricted keyfigures with char Version. First column contains amount for version 1 and second column contains amount for version 2.
In the Char Restrictions you've restricted version to values '1' and '2'.
When executing the inputready query version 1 and 2 are locked. (due to the selection in Char Restr)
But when executing the planning function all versions are locked (*)
Q4: True?
Kind regards, Harjan

  • Equium M50-216 - Question regarding new installation

    Hi there,
    Recently rescued an Equium M50 laptop from my flat mate. Was in a bit of disrepair. she said i could have it as couldn't get onto the internet and it appears to be missing some vital files.
    Managed to get the wireless working again and removed some of the rubbish that was on it, but there are some bigger issues for instance. Anything USB I plug into it will not install as there are no drivers on the HDD.
    I think it probably needs to be formatted and have Windows XP Home Edition reinstalled but I don't have any disks for it and don't want to spend hundreds buying new software for it. Please let me know what my best options are.
    best regards
    Ed

    Hi there,
    I have updated windows fully, although there are 7 updates that fail to install. all of them related to Windows Net Framework. Have removed previous installations and tried again to no avail.
    Plug and play devices that should install automatically do not install. I have two USB sticks that install automatically (plug and play) on several computers and laptops but both fail to install on this laptop.
    When asked to install i have a choice of automatic or choosing a destination myself, i choose Auto.
    When that fails i choose 'from a specific location' which also fails, and then i choose the option 'Don't search. I will choose the driver to install'.... in this part there are no drivers to choose from. its like the driver folder has been wiped.
    Anyone ever had this problem?
    Cheers

  • I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

    I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Question regarding cancelation of wireless contract and signing a new one

    Hi,  I have a question regarding my contract. My Cell was stolen 2 days ago ( Iphone 5)  had it for about year and 2 months. now I have a dilemma when it comes on getting a new device. the rep told me she can offer me some S... phones for over $200 as a replacement or I to look up Amazon; Ebay and craiglist. I also don't want to pay a retail price for a brand new device. So I was thinking of cancelation of this contract paying the fee and signing up a new contract with a new device like Iphone 5s or Samsung Galaxy. My question is, are there any waiting periods for doing such a thing, or I could do it at the same time, ditch old contract and sign for new one.

        I really want to take a closer look at your options, Filip.M. We definitely wouldn't want to see you cancelling out all the great history you have with us already.

    In order to use the new data sources the pre requisites are:

  • Question regarding Calculated Key Figures in BEx and their impact on SQL

    Hello,
    I am new to BO SAP integration. I have a question regarding using CKF in BEx.
    I created universe off of a BEx query with no CKF. I then created a Webi report with come dimensions and measures. I captured the SQL generated using trace (ST05).
    In the same BEx, I then create a CKF. Then refreshed the universe and created a new Webi report using the same dimensions and the CKF. The SQL generated had many more select statements.
    My question is what is the effect of CKF on the generated SQL and is there a performance issues using CKF in BEx as opposed to creating variables in Webi report?
    Thanks,
    Nikhil

    Hi,
    if your CKF will have always same unit and you have one KF in you inforpovider with this unit, you can try to do this trick
    create a new hidden CKF as new CKF = KF / KF (with this equale new CKF = 1 unit)
    change your old CKF as old CKF = old CKF * new CKF
    let me know if it works.

  • Several questions regarding File Vault

    Hi!
    I have several questions regarding File Vault - right now I'm using Mac OS 10.4.8
    1.: The battery lock of my iBook is defect thus it happens from time to time that while transporting it the battery drops out while the laptop is sleeping. What happens with the File Vault-disk image?
    2.: I want to (have to ) set up my Intel iMac again. The installer-CD I have will bring it back to 10.4.6
    AFAIK the data format used for File Vault since 10.4.7 is version 2. What happens if I encrypt my stuff now (10.4.8 - thus version 2), back it up to my backup disc, install a new system (10.4.6 - therefore version 1) and want to access my data via Migration Manager (don't want to use archive and install)?
    3.: How do I actually do a backup of my data while the system is running? The backup should be encrypted as well.
    I use the demo-version of SuperDuper for backing up my system because with it I can ensure that I have a complete bootable backup of my running system.
    Thanks for your answers in advance
    ibook g4 12" 1.2 GHz 768 MB RAM / Intel iMac Core 2 Duo 17" 2.0 GHz 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Parker,
    You said:1. If it did, Apple would not use FileVault, as everyones computer will have a battery problem once in their life, and Apple would lose buisness from angry people who lost all of their data.I have seen enough reports of data loss with FileVault that I feel compelled to dispute your statement.
    In Data corruption and loss: causes and avoidance, Dr. Smoke writes...If your data-security needs demand FileVault, you should backup your encrypted Home folder regularly, preferably daily. Like any hard drive or disk image, a Home folder protected by FileVault — an encrypted, sparse disk image — does not respond well to the causes of data corruption...Loss of power definitely is a cause of data corruption.
    For Niels....,
    An Unencrypted Look at FileVault, by François Joseph de Kermadec is an excellent discussion of the features, pitfalls, and cautions regarding Filevault.
    Although the article discusses Panther and is dated 12/19/2003, the concepts as they apply Tiger have not changed.
    The cautions and warnings are prominent in any of the Apple Knowledge Base articles referring to the use of FileVault. If a user is unfamiliar with any aspect of FileVault, it should not in my opinion be activated.
    As good as FileVault is in protecting your sensitive data, it also presents the danger of locking up your files in an irretrievable ball of one's and zero's. Backups are critical. You must ensure that you have a comprehensive backup plan. Backup and Recovery, by Dr. Smoke is a fine example of what you need to consider.
    ;~)
