SAP BW HR Reporting book from SAP Press

Hi,
is there any book/documentation that explicitly covers extraction, Modeling, and Reporting concerned to SAP BW HR with good real time scenarios.
I have searched a lot in SDN, but no luck.
spent Hrs on BI content for HR, its vague for me.
Searched SAP Press, could not find anything.
Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi ,
Check the book from the below link from SAP Press , it covers the BI Reporting also

IWork '09 Book from Peachpit Press (Apple Certified) Problem

I am working with the DVD for this book but my version of Pages (the only one I've tried so far) is not doing what the manual says it should do. Dropdown menus are incorrect; bulleting isn't working correctly. Is anyone else having this problem?

Dropdown menus are incorrect; bulleting isn't working correctly.
Please provide more detail about exactly what is happening that you think is not correct. There might not be anyone else here who has the book you are talking about.

***Balance sheet Report book got Disappeared from HFM Explorer***

Hi All,
Actually one of my user is able to open the balance sheet report book from hfm workspace and run the report till last month.
No one has removed any of his access.He is able to see all the other reports except Balance sheet report this month.As this is a month end for us it is very very important for me to provide the report book.Even i refreshed his securities but no use.
I am really battling with my head with no result.
Am really thankful to every one please do reply me the solution.
Regards,
Vinod

Can others see this report? If so, is this the same user that is having problems with smartview?
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=10912726
Do you use groups in ADF or within HFM? has any of his groups changed in provisioning?
Do you connect to more than one AD in Shared services? If so HFM looks for IDs in each Directory in the order they are listed. If someone entered the same user ID in another domain, HFM will use that one instead of Alex's true ID and have wrong provisioning.
Is the balance sheet report in the list and he cannot open it? Then check to see if he has the preview POV on, perhaps the POV is defaulting to an invalid setting.
If the balance sheet is missing from the list of reports, then check the permissions for that report.

How do I upload a book from SAP Press (epub) into iTunes to load into my iPad4

I need help, I'd like to upload an epub book from SAP Press into my iPad 4, I've downloaded the book to my computer and tried coping it to the iTunes libary but it does not show up for me to upload with iBook. Any help would be appericiated

Have you updated to the most recent version of iTunes? That's important. Then did you use File>Add to library within iTunes? That's how you add it. It should then automatically place it within the iBooks location so that your next sync will transfer it.

New book on Interaction Center available from SAP Press!

Congratulations, John!
I have checked the content, but I could not find anything about the web service tool. Is there a chapter about this tool?
Regards

Hello Mangesh,
Well, the book is quite a few years old now. I approached the publisher a couple of years ago about writing an updated version or addendum, but it wasn't something that they were interested in at the time. However, they do have a new acquisitions editor recently, so perhaps if enough people contact her with interest they might reconsider. Below is her info.

SAP Press book on Universal Worklist

Hi all,
I have just started writing a book for SAP Press on the Universal Worklist, to pass along some of what I have learned when working with the portal these past 5 years or so (anyone else remember EP 4.5?)
I've put up a blog entry at
<a href="http://www.fortybeans.com/">http://www.fortybeans.com/</a> and if you click the <a href="http://fortybeans.wishconsultants.co.uk/item/2007/2/6/universal-worklist-book-for-sap-press">Read more</a> link you can see the proposed chapters and sections I will be writing.
I'd really appreciate any feedback any of you can give me - I want to make this the best possible book of its kind, and the only way to do that is to find out what people want from the book and then to give it to them. Maybe this could be the first book from SAP Press with "Powered by SDN" on the cover?
Let me know what you think,
Darren

First off....EP4.5?....yep...when it was a Top Tier product. I was working on Workplace 3.0 (bootcamp) at the time....one week later, SAP and Top Tier announce the joint formation of the company "SAP Enterprise Portals" with their flagship product EP 5.0. Ahhh those were the days. I really want to meet the person who came up with calling it "portal-S" because I spent countless time explaining why the product was "Enterprise Portal" and not "Enterprise Portals". That was only compounded once SAP bought Top Tier outright, brought EP5.0 back into SAP proper and folded the "SAP Enterprise Portals" company. Ugg....anyways...
The book sounds great. I too have fought in the trenches and wrestled with the UWL. It is great when it is used strictly as intended and with the limitations it might have. Past that....let the fun begin!
I read your rough outline. Some chapters/content I would really like to see....
- some basic coverage on Workflow (what it is, how it works, etc).
- some explaination of "webflow", how it got started and where it is today
- how workflow correlates to what the user sees in the UWL
- limitations of the UWL based on support package level ( this is a big one!!! trying to use attachments now...nope...can't until the next SP level unless we backport our own custom webdynpro...that's not fun to find out 2 months in! haha)
- really good examples of customizing items to launch one way in the portal versus another way within the backend inbox (ie. uwl xml config vs. config in the backend) and show ways to launch various SAP apps (dialog in SAP GUI, ITS service, webdynpro, etc). from UWL items.
- same as above but show how to launch NON-SAP apps (we have a situation now where we have a UWL item that launches a Flex application and passes an order number to it)
- similar to the above two, what's possible to pass across from the UWL to whatever through the portal (like UWL to an iView and on to the underlying application)...figuring out how "DynamicParameters" works is new to lots of people who might not have web dev background and/or understand the construction/structure of a URL query string
- some information along the lines of "UWL launched an item/action out to some app, but how does the workflow status get updated to that fact?" ie. what makes the round trip complete?
- a really good BIG, real world example showing multi-system (CRM-to-ECC-to-APO-to-SRM-to- etc) workflow and how the UWL makes it all much easier and fluid (in theory...haha)
That's just a few off the top of my head that seem to always be sooo much fun with the UWL.
Good luck on the book! Looking forward to it already!

Problem to run the Crystal report inside from SAP B1 based on SQL views.

Hello,
I have a problem to run my Crystal report inside from SAP B1 which is based on SQL views.And the SQL views are stored in a separate database in SQL server.The error which i am getting is saying the the tablename does not exist.What i need to do in order to sort this problem.
Great if somebody can help me to sort out this so that i can run my report based on SQL views stored on separate database other than SAP databases inside from SAP B1.
Edited by: rozenagrawal on Apr 19, 2011 11:51 AM

Try using a SQL synonym in your company database for the views outside the company database. I don't know if SBO will let you get away with it, but its worth a shot.
If your company database is MyCompany and you have a view called MyView in Views database, assuming the view belongs to schema dbo, and you want the synonym to belong to dbo schema in your company database, run this:
Use MyCompany
go
create synonym dbo.OutsiderView for
Views.dbo.MyView
go
select * from OutsiderView
The select statement should return the contents of MyView in the Views database while you are connected to your MyCompany database.
For more info, see the Books Online for MSSQL on topic synonym.
You will need to change your CR options to include displaying synonyms along with tables, views, etc. You may also need to grant select to B1 users.

SAP Press 'BIA Book' - reviews ?

Hi All
Has anyone read this book ? What are your reviews on this book from SAP Press ?
Is it an introductory book or does it give more information than the Technical Operations Manual for BIA ?
Thanks,Sarah

Hi Andy,
Your book definitely goes into more details then TOM, but there is one area that is still gray for me after going through your book: indexing of key figures.
Here is my current understanding, and I'll appreciate if you could confirm or correct it.
1/ Today all query conditions are evaluated by OLAP engine, so BWA does not do any selections (like how many records have sales greater then X) on key figures.
2/ Key figures are used only for selection of values and aggregation, therefore it does not make sense to produce inverted index for KF columns. Insted they are stored as blocks for full scans.
3/ KF columns float values (quantities and amounts) are still converted to integer valueid to benefit from bit coding (smart compression).
4/ Number of bits in coding should not only accommodate biggest numeric value in the column, but as well the biggest sum of available values (like aggregation of absolute values of all records).
5/ Because of points above, the compression factor for KF columns is worse then for characteristics/DIMIDs.
Is my understanding (points 1 to 5) correct?
Will appreciate your answer,
-Vitaliy

So you are admitting on the SAP sponsored forums that you have illegally downloaded SAP copywritten materials. There is no difference between what you have done and outright theft.
Since you admit you are breaking the SCN forums terms of usage, your account will be submitted for banning.

Purchase of sap press books

Hello All,
I have gone though few sample indexes of books published by SAP Galileo Press. Most of those books have been rewarded with higher user ratings but there is no other way to find whether those books are really helpful or not. Prices are little higher for me. Thus before buying i thought to ask this in this forum.
Have you bought any book from sap press, if yes which one and would you recommend me to buy one.
Regards,
Amol

The SAP Press book collection The Supply Chain Fundamentals

Hi. I can navigate sap fairly well. I can follow a Business Process or, Workflow - if it is already written out, i.e., a test script. I am wanting to increase my knowledge, to the point where I know my way around SAP (MM) better, way better. I cant afford the cost of the SAP Training courses. So, would The Supply Chain Fundamentals Collection of books from SAP Press be a good investment? Please offer any advice you may have.
Thanks.

Hi,
Get "SAP MM - Functionality and Technical Configuration". This is a good investment and has a wide applicability across the SAP platform.
Cheers !

Difference Between Book on sap press and Advice on which book I should take ?

Hello,
Could someone explain me the difference between those two Sap Press.
SAP CRM Web Client Customizing and Development
http://www.sap-press.com/products/SAP-CRM-Web-Client-Customizing-and-Development.html
SAP Web Client: A Comprehensive Guide for Developers
http://www.sap-press.com/products/SAP-Web-Client%3A-A-Comprehensive-Guide-for-Developers.html
I thought that web client were only in SAP CRM ?
I have only done ECC and CRM.
did the SAP Web Client include the SAP CRM web Client ?
As I wiork on SAP CRM, I suppose that the "SAP CRM Web Client Customizing and Development" would be the better choice.
Best Regards.
Abdou BOURAKBA

"SAP CRM Web Client Customizing and Development" is an older release is more focused on the functional/technical customizing of the Web Client and "SAP Web Client: A Comprehensive Guide for Developers" if purely focused on development. I purchased both and I think are very complementary.
I thought that web client were only in SAP CRM ?
From ECC ehp4 (I belive) WebClient was shipped as part of the Netweaver solution.
did the SAP Web Client include the SAP CRM web Client ?
Are the same, when SAP decided to include Web Client as part of the Netweaver solution, they changed the name because the Web Client is no longer CRM specific.
Cheers!
