Recommend avoiding Parallels

I strongly recommend avoiding Parallels, versus Boot Camp. In short, Parallels suffers from a major problem in customer support, or lack thereof. Boot Camp is supported by Apple's excellent after care. Parallels charges $30 per issue, and you will wait for a long time to get through. Their service center is in India, with poor English speakers. I had a problem due to a need to install an upgrade. Most software companies notify you or do it automatically. Not Parallels. To fix the problem, I followed their online suggest to reinstall it. Big mistake, it deleted all my stored files. Microsoft does not support Parallels, or like it, according to the rep who assisted me, so I question the long term viability of this program. Stick with Apple's version.

Try downloading and installing a program called "DBFixit" from pimlicosoftware.com. It will scan your device and report any problems. Some of them can be fixed for free, others may require the purchase of the program.
If DBFixit does not list any problems, try running the Repair tool in Palm Desktop. Tools/Options/Tools/Check Now button.
You can also perform a "one-way" Hotsync for the calendar. Depending on which has the most updated info (device or desktop), you could set the Calendar conduit to overwrite the other for one Hotsync. This can do a "brute-force" type of overwrite that should fix any corrupt records that are causing the HotSync to hang.

Avoiding Parallel hints on a view

Hi All,
I am trying to avoid using Hints on a view.
Database: 11gr2.
Scenario:
I created a view
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW customer_count_vw
AS SELECT /*+ NO_PARALLEL(T) */ COUNT(1) FROM customer;
When I see the explain plan it is going for a FULL TABLE Scan.
But When I use a hint on top of the view like
SELECT /*+ PARALLEL(A,12) */ * FROM customer_count_vw;
The explain plan is using the PARALLEL Hint.
Is there any way we can avoid this hint being applied on this view.
The reason why we want this scenario is , we are going to expose the view to the external people and if they force PARALLEL on the view, it will give a lot of problem for us in the PRODUCTION environment.
Appreciate your response.
THANKS,
MK.

You can't keep a query writer from using a PARALLEL hint in a query. But you can add a LOGON trigger that disables PARALLEL execution for the user sessions that you don't want to perform parallel ops. If you do that then PARALLEL will not be used for any other queries that session uses.

How to avoid parallel execution

Hello!
In my database is present undesirable parallelization of the query.
All involved tables has degree=1,
if I right understood there is no method to avoid this except reducing of degree of indexes ?
I'm usung 11.2.0.3
Thanks and regards,
Pavel

Well, you can use the NOPARALLEL hint if you don't want parallelism to be there.

Lync Deskphone Recommendations & Avoidance

Hi,
I'm after a general consensus of opinion on Lync desk phones from those that are either involved with regular deployments, or end users of Lync - what people are recommending / using and why, in addition to devices that people have veered away from for any
particular reason.
I appreciated that when it comes to devices, a lot comes down to requirement, features, and expectation.
LPE, 3PIP, BToE capability... I typically run with a mental shortlist of desk phones that would be my 'go to' options, but what's at the top of your own favourites / recommendations?
I ask this as I'm in a position to obtain a number of trial devices, and get hands on some of the phones I've not yet touched.
Kind regards
Ben

I asked the 3PIP vs LPE question last month on Twitter hoping to get a bit more insight myself:
https://twitter.com/CAnthonyCaragol/status/506823548309364736
The problem is, at Matt Landis stated, every choice is a compromise. I still like the CX600, it's a workhorse and it just works. That said, there are a lot of features missing and Microsoft isn't driving updates into it so 3PIP seems to be the
way forward, yet the price point for that phone is the same as another phone with far more functionality. Still, you're going to find some oddities with any 3PIP phone.
My personal short list:
Common Area or cheap desk phones:
Polycom VVX300/310
AudioCodes 420HD
Snom 710/715
Higher level phones:
Polycom VVX 410/500/600
AudioCodes 440HD (with reservations about no color screen)
Snom 760
Polycom CX600
Conference phones I always go back to Polycom CX3000.
For clients who need that old-school multiline feel, I may lean towards Snom because I like the way it's implemented. For clients who like one throat to choke, I try to be AudioCodes for phones, SBCs, SBAs, everything not Microsoft (AudioCodes
One Voice). For clients who like Boss/Admin, I like the way the Polycom VVX series does it, I also like their sidecar implementation.
I try to stick to the same brand where possible for an entire company to make provisioning and updating easier.
It depends on the feature set in the end but I'll usually be able to match one of the above vendors to the client's needs.
There are other phones out there and are on my desk, some from the same vendors some from misc vendors, but the above is what I recommend repeatedly. I like the Grandstream GXV3275 for it's wow factor, but have a lot of 911 implementations and since
it runs Lync Mobile for Android, it doesn't have that as part of it's feature set.

DESKTOP 6.2 = JUNK. RECOMMEND AVOIDING DOWNLOAD/UPGRADE

Very sorry I upgraded from Desktop V4 to the latest V6. Ugly blue for background and calendar entries and no option to change colors. So ugly I don't even want to look at it.
No option to designate different colors for different Categories. Also don't see an option to synchronize individual components or applications. Everything gets syncronized.
I'm searching for the previous version so I can remove 6.2. Hopefully I have an original CD.

Inventory Management - 0IC_C03 InfoCube Partitioning (Recommendations)

Hello Everyone,
I have gone through most of the postings available on SDN and other white papers related to Inventory management implementation.
I did not get enough information and most of the information has given me both yes and no answers for partioning of the InfoCube.
I am looking for,
Can you please recommend what is the best practice for Physical and logical partitioning of 0IC_C03 InfoCube.
We have Calendar Day, Calendar Month, Calendar year in time characteristics and plant as the validity characteristic.
I have gone through couple of white papers which recommend avoid using the time characteristics for partitioning and rather use plant or territory grouping as applicable.
But some forum postings I have gone through mention that the partitioning has been done on time characteristics.
What is the impact of marker update and the paritioning being done on the time characteristics.
So, can you please let me know what the best practice would be and the reason for partitioning in the way whichever you recommend.
I really appreciate your input.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hello Naveen,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I understand that the partitioning by time characteristics is not useful because of how the data is accessed.
When I mentioned that the partitioning is considered on Plant or Territory.
I mean to use the logical partitioning where I am thinking of loading in my data based on the territory field which would then be grouped into regions.
In this case it can be Region 1, Region 2 and Region 3
Where
Region 1 --> Data from Territories 1,2,3
Region 2 --> Data from Territories 4,5,6
Region 3 --> Data from Territories 7,8,9
Once this has been done, I am planning of implementing the entries in RRKMULTIPROVHINT table to accordingly split the queries from Multiprovider.
The reason being most of the reporting is done at the territory level which in turn would help re-route the queries to appropriate part provider.
I am more worried about the physical partitioning for an InfoCube in order to have good database breakdown.
Thanks
Dharma.

Parallel Cursor Technique

Hello,
         Can some one give me a description in detail as to what exactly Parallel cursor method is and how it works.
          Also, what are the Performance Tuning Techniques that we can follow during ABAP Development?
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat

actually, I would not recommend the parallel cursor technique! First name is actually incorrect internal tables have no cursor only indexes, only parallel
index would make sense.
Performance improvement:
If costs for sort are taken into account, then parallel index is not faster than loop with loop on sorted table.
or with standard table
loop
    read ... binary search
    index = sy-tabix
    loop ... from index
       if ( condition is not fulfilled )
          exit
       endif.
    endloop
endloop
The full parallel index technique should find all deviations between 2 tables, additional lines in Tab1, additional lines in tab2, changes.
Feel free to find a complete solution. We can compare results, it is not worth the effort!

How can i run Windows on a macbook Pro

Hello
I am close to a business decission to use in future a MACBook Pro with Retsina Display
For Business reasons i have to be able to run also Winodws in a Virtual machine as some company internal applications need Windows
Which program would i use here on the newest MAC-OS
I want to use for private the MAC-OS and run Windows in a virtual environment to avoid Dual boot
Is the winodws Machine from Network, Printer drivers and all other transparent to the network?
bluetooth and other ports transparent supported in Windows?
any restrictions you may know on such environment
What versions of Windows are supported in such a virtuell environment?
Can i run Outllook from Microsoft in MAC-OS ?
Thanks very much for the answers

I second jopilkie's recommendation for Parallels. I've been using Parallels for years - currently using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with MS Office 2013, a ton of Adobe apps, etc. I use it primarily for Office, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe LiveCycle Designer and a few other apps that aren't available for OS X.
The answer is 'yes' to most of your questions - your network, printing, scanning, Bluetooth, DVD drive(s), external and internal hard drives, etc. can be accessed both in the Windows environment as well as OS X. And you can run Outlook either in on the Mac side or on the Windows side (personally, I signed up for Office 365 - $100 a year and you can install Office on up to 5 machines) - I use Outlook 2013 on the Windows side for three of my email accounts and Outlook 2011 on the Mac side for an additional 3 email accounts: it's nice to keep things separate that way!
I would recommend running Windows 7 - 64-bit, but whichever 'flavor' you prefer. Personally, Pro works just fine for my needs.
But beware Office 2013 on the Windows side - it really takes some familiarity until you become accustomed to it! Too much like Windows 8, but I'm getting used to it...
Call back if you've other questions.
Good luck,
Clinton

Good old G5 going belly-up?

Hi,
my Dual 2.5GHz G5 (late 2004) has developed a bit of a problem lately. When looking at photos in Preview or watching DVDs, the computer stalls, I sometimes get the SBBOD, sometimes I don't, sometimes I can force quit the application and sometimes the whole system crashes.
I ran the Apple Hardware Test and all seems well. Repaired permissions, zapped PRAM, emptied caches, did a fresh install, ran the Techtool tests....sometimes all is well and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes my G5 hangs at the blue screen upon startup and needs a safe boot, and sometimes it starts up and works like a charm.
The other day, I had a kernel panic, and maybe to the knowing eye, this could be an indication about what is going on....but I haven't a clue what all of this means.
Anybody venture a guess and enlighten me?
Thanks a bunch in advance, any help is much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I just got a call from the dealer, the graphics card seems to be the culprit. And while they can get me another one from Apple, it woud cost me about 600 €, which is about 850$. A bit too much for me. So I'm trying to get a used card from Ebay.
Do you happen to know any trustworthy sellers or online shops? I found a card in Hongkong, but I'm always a bit iffy about having stuff shipped from far away, in case it's broken or gets damaged. I need to run a 30" Cinema display, so it needs to be the 6800 Nvidia or another card with dual DVI.
Have you got any experience with flashed PC cards? I haven't used any so far. Would you recommend avoiding those in general or would they work?
Sorry for all those questions. I really appreciate your help and time!!!!
Many thanks in advance and all the best,
Colin

Darren's Weekly Nugget 08/10/2009

The Parallel For Loop is one of my favorite new features of LabVIEW 2009. With most desktop computers containing two or more processors these days, it's nice that LabVIEW already enables us to write parallel code without a second thought. But the Parallel For Loop takes things one step further by allowing us to configure some For Loops to run their iterations in parallel across multiple processors. You can check out the link above for a complete description of the feature, but I figured I'd focus on one specific tip for using the Parallel For Loop that I think needs extra attention. When you run the Parallel For Loop Detector (Tools > Profile > Find Parallelizable Loops...), it will detect all For Loops in your code that could potentially be parallelized. You can run this option from the toolbar of a project to analyze all VIs in the project, or from the toolbar of a VI to analyze just that VI. When you browse the results of this analysis, be careful about nested loops. The Parallel For Loop Detector will detect *any* loop that could be parallelized, but as a general rule, you'll want to avoid parallelizing a loop that resides within another loop that can be parallelized. This is because there is some extra overhead before and after the loop execution that is responsible for setting up the parallel iterations, then combining the results once the iterations are complete. This overhead is negligible for a top-level loop because it only happens once. But for a nested loop, that overhead will occur every time the nested loop runs, and the parallelism overhead may end up taking more execution time than just letting the loop run serially in the first place. So I recommend sticking with parallelizing only top-level loops, or at the very least, benchmarking your code if you decide to parallelize nested loops.

But are you saying you can have multiple processors working on a single loop?
I didn't even think that was possible....
YES! If iterations of the loop do not depend on previous values it can be parallelized. Thus it can have one CPU working on the i=0 case and another on the I=1 case if they don't depend on each other. These are not loops executing in parallel, but the frames of the single FOR loop executing in parallel.
It is a good question about unwrapping code in multiple parallel For loops. I can see how the multiple unwrapping could cause problems with the optimization. It is a good question about the general rules for nested loops. For example if a loop of count N is inside a loop of count M what is the time for a large range of N and M in the 4 cases
1. both N and M serial
2. N parallel M serial
3. N serial M Parallel
4. both N and M parallel
For the student,
build a test harness for all 4 cases taking an input integer P and doing some significant calculation in a nested parallel FOR loop.
produce 3 color image plots for N and M from 2 to 2^p by factors of 2, normalize the times for case 2, 3, and 4 to the times from case 1. Plotted as a function of N and M all on the same Z scale for comparison.
Bonus credit, run the code while stepping the number of CPUs used from 1 to 8....

1. Release strategy
Use the following objects depending on your BW and R/3 or plug-in releases:
a) General information
The following basic principle applies: The 0IC_C03 InfoCube (material movements) replaces the 0IC_C01 (material movement plant) and 0IC_C02 (material movements storage location) InfoCubes. The 2LIS_03_BX (material stocks) InfoSource or DataSource replaces the 2LIS_40_S278 (transfer BW: stock) 2LIS_03_S197 (material stocks storage location) and 2LIS_03_S198 (material stocks plant) InfoSource or DataSource. The 2LIS_03_BF (material movements) InfoSource or DataSource replaces the 2LIS_03_S195 (material movements storage location) and 2LIS_03_S196 (material movements plant) InfoSource or DataSource.
We therefore STRONGLY recommend that you use the OIC_C03, 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM objects. We will continue to deliver and support any other objects mentioned in this note, but only for reasons of downward compatibility. These objects will not be enhanced because they are based on obsolete technology.
For information about the general support for DataSources based on information structures, see also Note 543002.
As of PI 2002.2, the 2LIS_03_BX DataSource is available for Release 4.0B and higher.
As of PI 2001.2, the 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM DataSources are available for Release 4.0B and higher.
The 0IC_C03 InfoCube is available as of Release 3.0B.
b) Recommended objects for BW Release 3.0B and higher
InfoCube: 0IC_C03 (Material movements)
InfoSources and update rules:
2LIS_03_BX (stocks) - available for Release 3.0B as of Support Package 10
2LIS_03_BF (movements)
2LIS_03_UM (revaluations)
If your Support Package version for Release 3.0B is Support Package 9 or lower, you have the alternative option of using the 2LIS_40_S278 InfoSource or DataSource. However, for the reasons stated above, we recommend that you change to 2LIS_03_BX as of Support Package 10. For more information, see Note 588015.
c) Recommended objects for BW Releases 2.0B and 2.1C
InfoSources: 2LIS_03_BX (stocks) - available for Release 2.0B as of Support Package 30
                                - available for Release 2.1C as ofSupport Package 22
            2LIS_03_BF (movements)
            2LIS_03_UM (revaluations)
If you are using Release 2.0B Support Package 29 or lower or Release 2.1C Support Package 21 or lower, you can alternatively use the 2LIS_40_S278 InfoSource or DataSource. However, for the reasons given above, we recommend that you change to 2LIS_03_BX as of Support Package 30/Support Package 22. For more information, see Note 588015. Unfortunately, we cannot provide the 0IC_C03 InfoCube and related update rules. If you need to use this InfoCube, we can provide a similar solution to the one provided for Releases 3.0B or higher as part of a consulting project. Note that Note 589024 does not apply in this case.
d) Obsolete objects
If you are using R/3 Release 3.1I and do not intend to upgrade to a higher release (regardless of the BW release) in the foreseeable future, use only the 0IC_C01 and 0IC_C02 InfoCubes and the related InfoSources or DataSources 2LIS_03_S195 - 2LIS_03_S198. If you are using the Healthcare industry solution and are interested in using the 0IC_C01_Q0020 and 0IC_C01_Q0021 queries, you can also use the 0IC_C01 InfoCube and related objects. Unfortunately, there is no automatic data migration for the transition from 0IC_C01/2 to 0IC_C03. See also Note 804781 for a complete overview of all key figures in 0IC_C03 that are also possible in 0IC_C01/2.

3. Extracting non-cumulative data from R/3
This section explains the extraction process in the R/3 system and it gives an overview of known errors and their solutions.
a) Explanations for the extraction
Determining transaction keys
Note 492828
Determining the component
When stocks are initialized, the 'MM' core application is transferred, regardless of which component you specify in Customizing under 'Specify Industry' (TAC MCB_). You must implement Note 323018 for this purpose.
In most cases, the 'MM' Core application is also used when you initialize documents and for the delta load. However, 'IS-R' is transferred as the component if Retail is set as the component and you are working with stock transfers or movements for material group articles (MATNR <> MATBF).
To create the component, the BW enrichment is required during extraction. For more information, see Notes 315880 and 353042.
The "GETSYSDEF" report provides the system setting.
Creating non-cumulative relevance
In general, the non-cumulative relevance is set to '1', meaning 'relevant'. The exceptions are consumption postings (BSTTYP = V and BSTAUS = V) and postings for material group articles (MATNR <> MATBF). Value '2' is assigned in these cases.
Logistics data extraction: Customizing Cockpit (transaction LBWE)
You can configure the 2LIS_03_BF und 2LIS_03_UM DataSources in application 03. You cannot configure the 2LIS_03_BX DataSource in the Customizing Cockpit. To activate the 2LIS_03_BX DataSource, see Note 631345.
Generic extraction of stocks
This function is available as of PI 2003.1. For lower release levels, a consulting solution can be implemented on request (contact SAP in this case).
User exit (SAP enhancement RSAP0001)

Update methods/extract structures/XPRAs
i Update methods (V3 update, DeltaQueue, and so on).
Notes 380078, 396647, 486784 and 505700.
For information about the automatic conversion of update methods in the logistics extraction, refer to the release notes for plug-in 2003.1
DataSources for application 03 are delivered by default with the "Unserialized V3 Update" method.
A change to "Queued Delta" may occur.
For performance reasons, you should not select "Direct Delta".
ii Changes to extract structures/XPRAs
Notes 328181, 489259, 511657 and 566917.
If you try to add another field from the pool to the "2LIS_03_BF" DataSource , the system issues error message "D0 322".
Possible reason:
XPRA "RMCSBWXP_IM_01" did not run after you imported the plug-in. This XPRA is responsible for comparing customer fields in the extract structure (enhancement) with new default fields in the extract structure (SAP). This error message appears as a result.
b) Known errors

c) Update rules
The following special features are provided for updating in non-cumulative cubes:
The non-cumulative key figure has to be included with the relevant cumulative value(s) in the InfoCube definition.
Only receipt key figures are provided for updating from the InfoSource with the stocks.
The issue and receipt key figures are provided for updating from the InfoSource with movements.
Therefore, from a technical point of view, stocks are written to the receipt key figure. The process of differentiating between the stocks and the remaining receipts then takes place in the InfoCube using record type = 1 (InfoObject: 0RECORDTP) in the technical dimension table (this also sets up the connection to the validity table).
The OLAP processor dynamically calculates non-cumulative key figures in the query (taking into account the issues/receipts and the validity table).

"How to... Realize summarized display of stock values on storage"
Stock transfers in the two-step stock transfer procedure/differences between analyses in BW and the R/3 transaction MB5B
If you notice different results for the issue and receipt quantities of the total stock during the analysis of stock transfers in the two-step procedure, for example, storage location to storage location within a plant (movement types 351 and 101), add the "0STOCKTYPE" characteristic to the drilldown. Where necessary, filter according to the values "A" (unrestricted) and "H" (transit). You will then find the same values under stock type "A" and in transaction MB5B (if you select the storage location stock or the valuated stock).
Individual analysis of revaluations
After stock is initialized using the 2LIS_03_BX InfoSource, load revaluations into the 0IC_C03 InfoCube with the 2LIS_03_UM InfoSource. By doing this, you avoid uploading movements with the 2LIS_03_BF InfoSource. If you do so, the non-cumulative values (quantities and values) can no longer be calculated. Reason: When you initialize stocks, DIM IDs are created for 0BASE_UOM and 0LOC_CURRCY. As a result, all stock markers for 0BASE_UOM have an entry other than ' '. With revaluations, only values are updated-all quantities and their units are updated with ' '. This means that you can no longer assign revaluations to the stock markers because the units of measure are inconsistent. Solution: Update the revaluations with quantities also, as you did for the values (the result for the quantities is always RESULT = 0).
Incorrect results if quantity key figures and value key figures are analyzed together.
For example, you only displayed quantity key figures in the current drilldown. If you now add value key figures, the quantity key figures are no longer calculated correctly (the reverse also applies). As in the case of individual analyses of revaluations, movements may not be assigned to the stock markers due to missing DIM IDs. As a result, stock cannot be recalculated correctly either. This should not usually occur when the 0IC_C03 InfoCube is filled with the 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM InfoSources (this is also the case with the other relevant Business Content InfoCubes, for example 0CP_IC_C1 or 0RT_C36/37). However, it may occur because of certain loading processes, for example. Solution: Update the quantities (or values) in the same way as the values (or quantities) (RESULT = 0 is always the result for the quantities or values). See Note 643291 for the 0CP_IC_C1 InfoCube.
Enhancing the 0IC_C03 InfoCube with additional characteristics
These additional characteristics must be updated from the 2LIS_03_BX InfoSource, as well as from the 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM InfoSources, only then can movements be assigned to stock markers (see the two preceding points).
The following enhancements are possible:
1. Valuation type (0VAL_TYPE)
Source field from 2LIS_03_BX/BF: BWTAR
2. Company code (0COMP_CODE)
Source field from 2LIS_03_BF/UM: BUKRS
3. Valuation area (0ID_VALAREA)
Source field from 2LIS_03_BX/BF/UM: BWKEY
4. Vendor (0VENDOR/0GN_VENDOR) - for vendor consignment stocks
Source field from 2LIS_03_BX/BF/UM: LIFNR
This is delivered with BI Content 3.3 Add-On (see SRM Business Content Online documentation).
5. Customer (0CUSTOMER) - for consignment stocks at customer
Source field from 2LIS_03_BX/BF/UM: KUNNR
6. Sales order (0DOC_NUMBER/0S_ORD_ITEM) - for sales order stocks
Source field from 2LIS_03_BX/BF: KDAUF/KDPOS
7. Project number (0WBS_ELEMT) - for project stocks
Source field from 2LIS_03_BX/BF: PS_PSP_PNR
8. Evaluation class (0VAL_CLASS)
Source field from 2LIS_03_BX/BF/UM: BKLAS (Note 684789)
Enhancement possibilities for 2LIS_03_BX:
Note that the 2LIS_03_BX DataSource cannot be extended in the same way as the 2LIS_03_BF DataSource, for example.
Only SAP can enhance this DataSource (Note 684789).
Other enhancements are no longer useful since fields, such as the movement type, G/L account or profit center do not in appear in the stock tables (for example, MARC and MARD) but only in the movement tables (for instance, MSEG).
Evaluation restrictions that occur as a result (similar to the two preceding points) can only be resolved by a data enhancement (for example, reading from a DataStore object with all material movements) subsequent to the extraction or by not using 2LIS_03_BX. In both cases, all material movements must exist in the source system. If this is not the case, you must read from the corresponding archive files for the extraction.
Changing the exception-aggregation of the stock key figures
There is a predefined exception aggregation for stock key figures (for example, "last value") in the key figure definition. If you want to override these in the query definition, proceed as follows:
-> Create a new calculated key figure.
-> Drag the relevant basic key figure to the formula area.
-> Choose "OK".
-> In the next window, choose "Extend >>".
-> Then, maintain the required exception aggregation and the reference characteristic.
Mapping FIFO logic
The data structures in the 0IC_C03 InfoCube allow FIFO logic to be mapped using the relevant query definitions. In this case, contact your SAP consultant.
Unexpected or negative stock values due to FI document summarization
If FI document summarization is activated for the MATNR field, revaluations (2LIS_03_UM) are transferred to BW without a material number. As a result, complete analyses are no longer possible at material number level. For more information, see Notes 36353 and 497992.

Snapshot scenario
The "How to" document mentioned in section 2 b) "How to... handle inventory management scenarios in SAP BW 3.x" (pdf)" contains important information about the advantages and disadvantages of mapping stocks using a snapshot procedure.
Validity period of stocks
You can use transaction RSDV to determine the time period in which stocks can be calculated. This time period is determined automatically by the oldest and the most recent material movement. If you have a reporting requirement to display further stocks in the past, you can use the RSDG_CUBE_VALT_MODIFY report to manually change the time period.
Evaluations of cross-company code stock transfers.
Corresponding reports are currently not possible using the 2LIS_03_BX/BF/UM DataSources. For further information, see the following "How t"o document:
-> http://service.sap.com/bw
-> In the navigation area on the left: Services & Implementation
-> HOW TO ... Guides -> Guide List for SAP BW3.0B/BW3.1 ->
"How to... Report on cross company stock in transit", which allows you to carry out evaluations in BW similar to the ones in R/3 transaction "MB5T".
0IC_C03 data modeling
Due to the different characteristic value calculation for stock quantities and values, a MultiCube scenario ("sparse tables") is useful in this case, one InfoCube for quantities and one for values.
You can then execute common stock quantities, values and evaluations using queries on a MultiCube.
The 0IC_C03 InfoCube currently uses a key figure model (various specific key figures, such as inspection stock, stock in transit and so on). In this case, an account model is suitable:
- Three key figures: Stock quantity, stock value and valuated stock quantity (including the movement key figures)
- Based on stock instance/type, you can then limit the query to the special stock
- Advantage: Uses less database space
- Disadvantage: The load for the OLAP processor is higher and there is more work during the query definition, the other approach may also be more transparent for the end user.
Inventory management and ODS
ODS objects cannot admit any stock key figures (see Notes 752492 and 782314) and, among other things, they do not have a validity table, which would be necessary. Therefore, ODS objects cannot be used as non-cumulative InfoCubes, that is, they cannot calculate stocks in terms of BW technology.
In this connection, you should use the ODS technology only for:
- Document-related reporting or the Enterprise DataWarehouse layer based on the 2LIS_03_BX/BF/UM InfoSources (see Notes 581778 and 747037).
- The implementation of a snapshot scenario; see the How to document mentioned in section 2 b) for more information:
"How to... handle inventory management scenarios in SAP BW 3.x" (pdf)
Implement Note 773823 to be able to update the 2LIS_03_BX InfoSource to an ODS.
If you want to activate another ODS object for the 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM DataSources before the 0IC_C03 InfoCube, we recommend a parallel update.
However, if you want the InfoCube to be filled by a subsequent update from the ODS, take the following into account:
Documents that are entered after the stock initialization (CPUDT field > stock initialization key date) and are posted back to a period before the stock initialization (BUDAT field < stock initialization key date),
must be updated with a delta request in the InfoCube, because only these requests can be compressed with a stock marker update.
Therefore, mechanisms for which the movements are different before and after the stock initialization (as a result of restrictions on the posting date) are incorrect in this case. However, if you want to work with the requests in question, you must restrict the movements using the date of entry (CPUDT). Otherwise the stock evaluations will be incorrect due to the compression logic used.
The same problem occurs if documents are posted to the future (CPUDT field > stock initialization key date and BUDAT field > stock initialization key date).
Posting to a prior period and postings to the future
If you can post this type of material documents in the system, take note of the documents that caused the initialization run (transaction MCNB, or report RMCBINIT_BW)during the reconstruction in R/3 (transaction OLI1BW, or report RMCBNEUA):
1. BUDAT < stock initialization key date and CPUDT > stock initialization key date
You execute the report with a date restriction (for example, upper limit = key date of stock initialization) to avoid a posting block.
-> Postings to a prior period are selected by mistake.
-> Solution: You MUST set a posting lock (if this is not possible, it may help to select according to the document number).
2. BUDAT > stock initialization key date and CPUDT < stock initialization key date
Here the same applies as described under point 1, however, the documents are then missing in the setup table. You can still make restrictions according to the posting date but you must set a relatively high upper limit.

Notes 409641, 417307, 419465, 548845 and 589997
b) Extraction 2LIS_03_BX
The recommended setting in the RMCBINIT_BW report for 'Number of data records per LUW' is 5000. Higher values may cause the following errors:
TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED
TSV_TNEW_BLOCKS_NO_ROLL_MEMORY
TSV_LIN_ALLOC_FAILED
You can reduce an extremely long runtime by setting up the stock individually for each plant. For more information, see Note 728360.
When you run the report, the "Transfer Zero Stocks" option must NOT be active, because this will significantly increase the runtime.
This is no longer required as of Note 823951 (for more information, see Note 655798).
c) Extraction 2LIS_03_UM

d) Extraction 2LIS_03_BF

e) Warehouse
Due to the stock marker generation technology, it is normal for the E table to be larger than the F table in the non-cumulative InfoCubes.
As a result of the different updating of stock quantities and values (see Note 589024) required by the R/3 data model, movement data usually generates two entries in the F table.
To reduce the data volume of the 0IC_C03 InfoCube, you can distribute quantity and value key figures to two InfoCubes. As a result, the key figures have the same characteristic value update again. You can then use MultiCubes to execute common evaluations of quantities and values.

Upgrading from 8.6 to 9.2.2

We have a solid workhorse at our Publishing firm that our editor does not want to get rid of. So to get the 'blood out of the stone' I need to max it out as possible.
1. Where is the best and affordable place to get memory for an iMac 233MHz?
2. Where can I find the retail version of 9.0? If I have 9.0 can I then download 9.2.2 from the internet? What 'heads up' do I look for if I shop at ebay?
3. What email and browser package works well in 9.2.2 environment?
Thanks

(1) Check out this memory dealer's prices for your iMac 233. I'd recommend getting the low-profile type SO-DIMM, as it's more versatile.
(2) There are Mac retailers online that sell older, retail OS installer CDs, and if you're willing to chase down an eBay bargain, I'm sure that you can find one there also. I'd recommend avoiding the model-specific Restore CDs, touted as being compatible with all Power Macs. They don't necessarily include all of the software components needed to support the unique hardware found on your own (and often older) Mac. Universal retailer installer CDs may cost more, but won't cause unexpected headaches when used on computers that can run their included OS software. If you search the web for "Mac OS 9 (or 9.1) Installer CD," I'm sure that you'll find a number of dealers. You're correct in that the OS 9.2.1 Update (applied to OS 9.1) and the OS 9.2.2 Update (applied to 9.2.1) are both downloadable, as is the OS 9.1 Update.
(3) As someone who runs OS 9.2.2 on a number of computers, you should be aware that for pre-OS X Macs, the last compatible versions of Internet Explorer 5.1.7 and Outlook Express 5.0.6 both date from 2001. Over the past year, I've run across web sites that aren't compatible with IE 5.1.7 for Macs, or not fully-functional because of unavailable, up-to-date plug-ins. I think there's a version of Netscape Communicator (possibly 4.79 or 4.8) that you could use with OS 9.2.2, which provides an all-in-one solution for browsing and e-mail. The problem with older browsers is a lack of updates or enhancements to keep up with web improvements, as well as expired security certificates. The better/modern browsers (Apple's Safari or Mozilla's Firefox) require OS X.

How do I get pictures from my iCloud account onto my samsung galaxy mega?

I just got a Samsung Galaxy mega and I used to have an iPhone 4 so now how do i transfer my pictures from my iCloud account onto my samsung? Is there an app for the iCloud that I can use or is there some other way that I can retrieve them? I have little knowledge of iPhone and Samsung so if there's something I'm not doing right please let me know! But I have a whole bunch of pictures on my iPhone and I want them onto my samsung and I have no idea how to get them there! Thanks for your help!

The easiest way to get them into your phone is to use Google Drive. I would assume that this is on the phone, and if you have a Google email account you have access to the drive. If you don't, it's free and will also get you sign-in to the Google Play Store for apps.
There is a application for Macs for the Drive, but I would recommend avoiding it as it's been known to cause trouble. Just go to the Drive from your GMail webpage and upload the photos. Then on your phone open the Drive and download the photos.

Recommend avoiding Parallels
