Regarding BRF plus

Hi,
We are trying to implement the BRF Plus in our company.And generate the webservice.
We are able to create POC's and created webservices.
But rule set can be achieved by BRF plus only with the person who is familiar with programming and not by end-user.It might be bit difficult for them.
Is there any way end-user can use BRF-Plus to write their own rules(if not with BRF plus with other SAP technologies)???
Cheers - Anna.

Hi Carsten,
Thanks for the reply.
Our system is in the package EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01.Whether this is ok to start our developments for BRF+?
And with the current package,I am trying to find the difference between two dates and trying to store in the temporary variable(same type of source),I get an error 'Required calculation is not possible with these operands (Details) Display Longtext'.
Since we need to execute for large customer volume,so all our select we are using in the program,and calling the BRF+ in the runtime.Whether it is possible to pass the values from the program to BRF + using the component ID?
If we are using the component ID in development,if transportng to production then the ID will change,whether we can change the ID dynamically in program?
Sorry to bother you with so many queries.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi All,
I have created an BRF plus application through FDT_WORKBENCH to calculate bonus of the employee with the help of SDN tutorial.
Now my concern is that how can i use this application in my report.
I have also read in the tutorial that we can create BRF plus application through ABAP coding but my question is, if i created an application through FDT_WORKBENCH then how can i use it in my ABAP report.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Prabhu,
Since it is a Custom Fm i cant see it in my system.
Look if u want to bring data in internal table then there could be two ways::
1) your FM should contain itab in CHANGING option , so that u can have internal table of same type and pass through FM,
2) read values one by one and append to internal table.
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
As said by Jocelyn Dart, you need to go through BRF+ tutorials.
-->You can see a on of the tutorial from the below link
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/50879cee-f9b5-2e10-039e-b2d6c4b10e6b

Loop in BRF Plus

Hi Experts,
I am using loop in BRF plus to loop at an internal table. Within the loop, I want to access the value one field of the table and do some processing on it via formula expression. The return value after processing is being captured in another data object of type element. Can this only be done via rule in loop to process the formula expression? If rule is the only way, then how can we further use the intermediate data element ( holding the processed value) in further rules inside this loop?
Thanks
Mamta Saboo

Hi Mamta,
Within Loop Expression, you can create multiple rules.
The variable which hold the processed value evaluated from first rule can be access in next rule within same Loop expression and without any data loss.
Just try to access to assign/use variable in next rule..it will work.

I want to know if there is table name in SE16 for finding list of decision table , application name for BRF plus transaction

Hi Dipak,
The table "FDT_ADMN_0000" has the value what you want. The field "OBJECT_TYPE" can indentify the decision table and application name.

Lock table overflow - BRF Plus - can it work with many entries in tables ?

hi,
when I'm trying to open expression table in BRFplus with 500 entries in web
I get an error: Lock table overflow and I see more then 2000 entries in sm12 for fdt_ tables
and the system cannot create any more locks (so other applications are not working)
why is that ? can BRF plus work with more then 100 entries in table expressions at all ?
can anyone tell from experience as this is a huge issue I believe
thank you,
Regards,
Michal Krawczyk

Hi Michal,
You are running a NW 701 system. This was the first version of BRFplus and the DB schema was not good for high volumne.
I have created some notes recommending to use decision table for up to 100 rows (of course other factors like # of columns are also important).
In NW 702 the DB schema has been changed and decision tables with 10.000 rows are possible and performance better by a factor of 100 and more.
In your specific case you may consider to increase the number of logs that are possible. But this is rather a workaround than a solution.
BR,
Carsten

Set Default User settings in BRF Plus

Hi All,
We want to set some default setting for a set of the users for BRFPlus gui.
For Example:
1. We want to display row no in the decision table as the first column for all users.
2. In the decision table, we want some columns ( from result section)which are actually in the end on the right of the screen should be visible as first column.
I know these can be achieved using user settings. But we want to default this for all the BRF Plus users.
Can we create one setup and assign it or default it for all BRF Plus users? Like we do in SAP R3 defaulting menus for SAP users.
Thanks In Advance.

Hi Carsten,
Thanks for the hint.
We have already used the blog to hide some features from users view in custom catalog. After your reply I revisited the our code and added few more lines of codes to display row number. But the Row Number was not displayed. Guessing if anything is missing.
Is it not possible to do at user profile level for mass users. Like we do it for SAP R3 Users?
Code Snippet:
METHOD if_fdt_wd_ui_mode~get_configuration.
*Get the default configuration.
CALL METHOD super-
>if_fdt_wd_ui_mode~get_configuration
    RECEIVING
      ro_configuration = ro_configuration.
* Remove repository view.
ro_configuration->set_parameter( iv_name =
if_fdt_wd_user_configuration=>gc_parameter_repositor
y_view
       iv_value = abap_false ).
ro_configuration->set_parameter( iv_name =
if_fdt_wd_user_configuration=>gc_parameter_favorites
_view
       iv_value = abap_false ).
ro_configuration->set_parameter( iv_name =
if_fdt_wd_user_configuration=>gc_parameter_history_v
iew
       iv_value = abap_false ).
* Display row number
ro_configuration->set_parameter( iv_name =
if_fdt_wd_user_configuration=>gc_parameter_disp_dt_r
ow_num
      iv_value = abap_true ).

Can I have unique decision table name in the BRF Plus System?

Hi All,
In BRF Plus , we can create more than one decision table with the same name in the same application or across different applications.
We have a requirement were in we have to setup a framework so that we don't have duplicate decision name or any expression name across system. We need to maintain unique name.
One way is to control this by having particular naming conventions but still there will be room for errors.
Is there are way to activate the unique name for decision table name across or within application?
Thanks.

Hi Sainath
Carsten is of course always correct. That said I can understand the desire - if only to avoid confusion for business users. Sounds like a good use case for the new DSM deployment approval workflow perhaps? But in the short term either application exits or custom programs are the most likely solutions
Hope that helps

BRF Plus for CRM

Hi! Can I find out whether the full functionality of BRF Plus is available for CRM 7.0 EnhP1?
I have looked around SDN and search on other sites but could not find specific information relating to CRM. I can find lots of information about BRF+ itself though.
Appreciate any clarification on the above.
Cheers!
SF

One of my holy grails for BRF+ was to prewire the one order framework with BRF+ rules that would handle common requests.
It really wouldn't be that hard except writing it generically. Perhaps I will get around to that once I'm finished with EHP3 and other stuff.
Oh BTW: if you look hard enough in CRM there are some BTE events that SAP developed that invoke BRF+ rules. I can't remember the function modules, but they do exist.
Take care,
Stephen

BRF Plus - features

Dear All - Our customer is considering the use of BRF Plus for their rules management and need information on the following:
1. Performance for large large rule sets - multiple instances of the engine for large, global and centralized installation
2. Details on the rules API and clear separation of the rule base from UI.
3. Understanding of how the engine handles chained rules. Do we have a choice on the strategy
(forward/backward chaining) for rule processing.
4. How does the engine handle conflict resolution? This occurs when there are conflicting rules.
5. Maintenance of the rules and the ability to monitor the rule engine
Appreciate any information so we provide correct fedback to the customer.
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for helping us out.
When we do application clean up we get short dump with the following error 'A column name from a dynamically specified clause is ambiguous.'.
Not sure what this error means. We have implemented the oss note you mentioned and also do transport analysis. There we encounter lots of unnamed and unused guids, we have to manually delete these guids individually before the status turns green and be ready for release purpose. We thought we could do this using application clean up but somethings not working there.
Yes we are on NW7.01
Cheers,
Lohith

BRF Plus

There is a need at a large industrial services company to use fairly complex sets of rules (ALL event based) to data coming from a data warehouse (ODS). They plan to use PI as well. I have gone through the documentation of BRF plus (forums etc..).
Our plan was to recommend use of PI to read data from the DW, pass it through the rules engine & call a BAPI to post data in ECC6. My questions:
1. Is this feasible?
2. How does PI call this BRF plus application?
3. How does BRF plus call the BAPI (where is it set up to be called)
Let me know. Thanks.

1. Is this feasible?
Sure, you may use web services or RFC to coenct various systems.
Maybe you also use BRFplus in our BI in case it is SAP BI. BRFplus runs in all ABAP stacks.
2. How does PI call this BRF plus application?
Either plug in some code and call by RFC or do a web service call. BRFplus exposes its rules as a function whcih can be seen as a rules service.
3. How does BRF plus call the BAPI (where is it set up to be called)
BRFplus can call ABAP code directly as part of the rules. E.g. function modules may be called. In case there is no good function module or you want to do things remotely maybe create one that fits your needs and plug it into BRFplus.
I know of similar scenarios from other customers and I do not see any issue. But of course, the info provided in the post is very little only.
in any case I recommend usage of NW 7.0 EhP 2 for the use case.
