Nothing displays on Predictive part in SAP Predictive Analysis

Hi,
Earlier, I created a predictive analysis using R-K Means algorithm, and the result was displayed a week ago and saved it. I opened it several times, trying to beautify the same. But today when I opened it, nothing is seen and also I am unable to add analysis as well. I am using SAP Predictive Analysis version 1.16.0.
Please help me how to resolve the issue.

Hi Anita, in case this has not be resolved, i just had this issue this morning.
I was unable to add or see any Analysis in Predict Tab.
It seems that if you supress your preference settings
(in C:\Users\yourName\.sapvi\predictive_preferences)
including links to all of your documents, and "repairing" Predictive Analysis by Re-installing it, it works again .
It also seem, after reimporting the original issue document, it is blasted, so you'll have to redo it from scratch.
Hope it will work for you, notice me if it does !

Using Multiple Linear Regression from SAP Predictive Analysis within S&OP

How could I go about using a model exported from SAP Predictive Analysis, say a multiple linear regression model, as a stored procedure in HANA from within S&OP?

Hi Kevin,
You cannot use a model exported from SAP Predictive Analysis in S&OP. S&OP uses the same PAL libraries from HANA for Statistical Forecasting. We enable a few statistical forecasting methods from PAL like exponential smoothing from S&OP.
Thanks,
Raghav

Please Provide a Key for SAP Predictive Analysis 1.15 32-bit

please provide a needed a key for SAP Predictive Analysis 1.15 32-bit to be used in University Lab computers.

Hi Ye,
I am afraid but the only way today is to delete your document without PA / Lumira.
By default, local files are stored at :
User/Documents/SAP Lumira Documents
In this folder you'll see the list of all the documents you have created with SAP Lumira or SAP PA.
Delete the document that you don't want anymore and (re)start SAP PA.
The delete functionnality from the desktop tool is an idea accepted by the Labs (Delete Files in Lumira Desktop : View Idea), but not implemented yet.
Hope it helps,
Edouard

Hi Niyati,
SYSTEM user has not given you rights to create repository so you are facing this issue, Ask appropriate rights from your SYSTEM user.
He can either execute below statement
GRANT REPO.EDIT_IMPORTED_OBJECTS ON "'afl.falcon'" TO lui;
or
he can go to Security-> Users under Package Privilege add Root package then on right side he can assign the roles.
**** Also Add Repository_Rest procedure under Object Privilege tab

Can i use SAP Predictive Analysis for this scenario?

Hi guys. I'm new in this subject so I'm a little bit confused about in which cases SAP Predictive Analysis is helpful?
Could it be helpful for this case? I have prices of rice for differente years, from 2007 to 2013. Can SAP Predictive Analysis help me forecast what will be the price of rice for 2014, 2015 and so on?
Which algorithm should I use? Does it come integrated in the tool or is it an add-on?
I´ll appreciate it very much if you could send me the right steps to achieve this.

Hi Erika,
SAP PA has only Triple exponential smoothing algorithm; In most cases, single exponential smoothing would not make any sense [this is available through HANA PAL or R integration with SAP PA];
If you have R integration you should see something like this
In Single exp smoothing only alpha is used;
in double exp smoothing alpha and gamma is used; and all three in gamma.
Why these alpha, beta and gamma... has a big derivation to understand; [let me know if you need any document, I have compiled as on some reference]
What values alpha, beta and Gama should hold in Triple ... or what is the right value, .... actually there are no right value and wrong value for them.
... as for the steps to go in SAP PA, refer below:
Please let me know if you need any assistance ...

SAP HANA One and Predictive Analysis Desktop - Time Series Algorithms

I have been working on a Proof-of-Concept project linking the SAP Predictive Analysis Desktop application to the SAP HANA One environment.
I have modeled that data using SAP HANA Studio -- created Analytic views, Hierarchies, etc. -- following the HANA Academy videos. This has worked very well in order to perform the historical analysis and reporting through the Desktop Application.
However, I cannot get the Predictive Analysis algorithms -- specifically the Time Series algorithms -- to work appropriately using the Desktop tool. It always errors out and points to the IndexTrace for more information, but it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. The HANA Academy only has videos on Time Series Algorithms using SQL statements which will not work for my user community since they will have to constantly tweak the data and algorithm configuration.
In my experience so far with Predictive Analysis desktop and the Predictive Algorithms, there is a drastic difference between working with Local .CSV / Excel files and connecting to a HANA instance. The configuration options for using the Time Series Algorithms are different depending upon the data source, which seems to be causing the issue. For instance, when working with a local file, the Triple Exponential Smoothing configuration allows for the specification of which Date field to use for the calculation. Once the data source is switched to HANA, it no longer allows for the Date field to be specified. Using the exact same data set, the Algorithm using the local file works but the HANA one fails.
From my research thus far, everyone seems to be using PA for local files or running the Predictive Algorithms directly in HANA using SQL. I can not find much of anything useful related to combing PA Desktop to HANA.
Does anyone have any experience utilizing the Time Series Algorithms in PA Desktop with a HANA instance? Is there any documentation of how to structure the data in HANA so that it can be properly utilized in PA desktop?
HANA Info:
HANA One Version: Rev 52.1
HANA Version: 1.00.66.382664
Predictive Analysis Desktop Info:
Version: 1.0.11
Build: 708
Thanks in advance --
Brian

Hi,
If you use CSV or XLS data source you will be using Native Algorithm or R
Algorithm in SAP Predictive Analysis.
When you connect HANA, SAP Predictive Analysis uses PAL Algorithm which runs
on HANA server.
Coming to your question regarding difference,
In SAP PA Native Algorithm, we could provide the Data variable, Algorithm
picks the seasonal information from the Data column. Both R and SAP HANA PAL
does not support Date Column. We need configure seasonal information in
Algorithm properties.
R Properties
1) Period : you need to mention the periodicity of the Data
Monthly : (12)
Quarter : (4)
Custom : you can use it for week or Daily or hourly.
2) Start Year: need to mention Start year.
Start year is not used by algorithm for calculating Time series, but it helps
PA to generate Visualization ( Time series chart) by simulating year and
periodicity information.
3) Starting Period:
if your data is Quarterly and you have data recordings from Q2, mention 2 in
start period.
Example.
If the data periodicity is Monthy and my data starts from Feb 1979, we need to provide following information,
Period: 12
Start year: 1979
start Period: 2
PAL Properties. : Same as properties defined in R.
Thanks

Buisness scenario for Predictive Analysis

Hi All,
I am new to SAP Predictive Analysis. I have gone through all the algorithms present in predictive analysis client tool about when should they be used.
Now I planned to try implementing it on some business scenario.
But the problem I am facing is I am not getting any proper data suitable for PA. I am trying to take BW data into excel which will act as my data source.
Can anyone suggest me what data I should pick up from BW or if possible provide me with some sample data.
Thanks and Regards
Mithilesh Prasad

Hi,
You can also found some datasets on SAP Partner Edge website with the Workbook: SAP Advanced Analytics (SAP PartnerEdge).
If you want to find more dataset, I suggest you to download datasets from UCI Machine Learning Repository to build examples. (UCI Machine Learning Repository). You can start with the dataset Statlog (German Credit Data) with a neural network or a decision tree.

InfiniteInsight Vs Predictive Analysis

Hi SCN,
What is the main difference between II and PA ??
What is the product history of SAP Predictive Analysis ??
With regards
Sateesh

Hi Sateesh,
For a overview of II you can refer to Henry Bank's excellent blog post:
http://scn.sap.com/community/predictive-analysis/blog/2014/03/11/sap-infinite-insight--introduction-and-overview
Also, to understand how II and PA play together, please refer to our current roadmap:
https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001160102012E.pdf
In short, the main difference between PA and II is that II has a limited set of highly automated algorithms and is targeted towards business users while PA has a broad set of algorithms available with a wide range of configuration option to allow custom modeling. PA is targeted more towards experienced Business Analysts and Data Scientists. Both solutions work together with SAP HANA while the integration of PA is - due to historic reasons - still a bit tighter than for II.
I hope this helps!
Best regards,
David

Predictive Analysis won´t start

Hi everyone,
a few weeks ago I used Predictive Analysis and it worked perfectly fine. For some reason yesterday I was not able to start the application and it always freezed on the loading screen with "Loading SAP Hana" or something like that. I tried to restart and reinstall the application but unfortunately nothing worked so far.
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
It's likely because your windows profile has changed to "roaming" or you've lost write access to your rooming folder. The PA log files should have some error recorded relating to \\some.server.corp\users\<User ID>\.sapvi directory
Solution:
Clear following directories for PA
C:\Users\<user>\.sapvi
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\SAP\Lumira
C:\Users\Public\sappa
In Window's Explorer navigate to PA's install folder, typically C:\Program Files\SAP Predictive Analysis\Desktop.
Make a backup copy of SAPPredictiveAnalysis.ini.
Edit SAPPredictiveAnalysis.ini and add the following line near the top before @user.home is used to redirect the users home directory to the directory of your choice:
-Duser.home=<<New File Location>>
For example this causes the c:\temp directory to be used:
-Duser.home=c:\temp
Looking forward to your feedback.
Regards,
Jayant

ODBC Issues with SAP Predictive Analytics 2.0 - Automated Analysis

Dear all,
maybe this adds only an aspect to the Infinite Insight OCBC Connection difficulties discussed in
http://scn.sap.com/message/15766247#15766247
but after trying and searching the web for more than a day any help would be appreciated.
This is the situation:
I'm using SAP PA 2.0 Desktop version and would like to upload a flatfile (*csv) to the Data Manager of Automated Analysis. Unfortunately, none of the solutions found by now worked.
It is a SAP PA 2.0 64bit version installed on a Windows 7.0 64 bit P. The installed MS Office version is 32bit as all available drivers. Deinstalling MS Office and reinstalling a 64bit version is not an option. It is not possible to install SAP PA 2.0 32bit version either - the Installation process stops due to the wrong operations system.
The DSN configuration suggested in the SCN discussion mentioned above didn't work, although displayed as data source in the Data Manager data base/file selection Screen. The error message returned is a Microsoft ODBC error [IM014] indicating that for the DSN used, there is an architecture mismatch between driver and application,
The attachments shows screenshots of the error message and the situation in the ODBC adminitrator consoles both for 32bit and for 64bit (in system32 and SysWOW64 shares).
Is there a solution to this problem?
Kind regards
Elisabeth

Hi Elisabeth,
If I understand correcty, you would like to upload your csv file to a database.
What kind of database is it ?
The Automated part of Predictive Analytics supports the following databases:
SAP HANA
Sybase IQ
Oracle
Hive
Teradata
Microsoft SQL Server
MySQL 5
Netezza
IBM DB2
PostgreSQL
Vertica
Greenplum
Your screensot shows ODBC connections to Excel and Text files. It is is not real databases, it cannot execute SQL code.
For more information on configuring a database connection on your machine, you can refer to this document : https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012002523100001708812015E/pa20_conndb_win_conf_en.pdf
Note that you need a database driver installed on your machine and access to a database (either installed on your machine or on a remote server).
In general, all documentation related to PA2.0 can be found here : SAP Predictive Analytics 2.0 – SAP Help Portal Page.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Armelle

Is the SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library used within UDF?

Hello Everyone,
I am an intern at SAP Belfast currently looking at UDF and DDF, and I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me?
Is the HANA Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) used within UDF? I know that UDF uses regression analysis, and I know that the PAL has functionality for regression analysis, but are they used together? and if so, which algorithm within PAL exactly is used?
I know that the UDF is an Application Function Library. How many of these Application Function Libraries are there within HANA, as I have only come across the AFL which contains the Predictive Analysis Library?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Claire Burn

Hi Anu,
First double check your own heart. If you really have the passion, then go back to SAP and do what ever you want to do. You will definitely succeed. However if your motivation is primarily influenced by other than (your love for subject), then the question is how far and how long you will be able to stay before those thoughts come back and push you to switch to something else. The key is where your heart is. Only you can help yourself.Good luck.
Regards,
Sam
