SolMan query of BI content shows wrong values

Hi,
at the TA STWB_INFO I can see a testplan ABC with 1 OK-result, 1Error-result and 3 "no-results".
The multi-provider 0SM_TWB_M is activated from the BI-content and its infocube 0SM_TWB is filled with data (as I can see at the sucessfull request status for the last requests for this cube TA RSA1).
However, when excecuting the query 0TWB_TESTPLAN_STATUS to see the results for the testplan ABC I see different results than in the TA STWB_INFO (only 1 OK-rseult and 3 no-results, the error is missing.)
Any help on this?
Thanks

Where is the new version of "Guidelines for XI Content Documentation"?

Hi,
I have the Version 1.3, May 2005
I need to document an integration scenario. At the moment we have service pack 11. A lot of keywords are not handled or available in that documention mentioned above.
Where to find a newer version of that document?

There doesn't seem to be one for iPad yet. There is an iOS 6 guide for iPhone. They are virtually the same.

Content documentation on Infoarea 0PPMRP Material Requirements Planning

Hi:
Can someone direct me to any documentation for the infocubes which are found in infoarea 0PPMRP? For example, cube 0MRP_C03 AHD Purchase Orders (Issuing Plant). I have searched this forum as well as the help.sap looking for documentation regarding what this area is and what type of analysis and reporting that it supports.
Any direction would be appreciated.
thanks

As of BW Release 7.0, the BI lock server is used in BI Integrated Planning and in BW BPS. As a result, the implementation used in earlier releases of BW BPS becomes obsolete.
Note that this note does not make any general assertions about the Standard SAP Lock Server. The BI lock server is currently used exclusively by BI Planning and BW BPS (as of Release 7.0).
To store the lock table, you can choose between the following three options, which can be set in Transaction RSPLSE:
1. The lock table is located in the SAP lock server.
2. The lock table is contained in the shared objects memory of an application server.
3. The lock table is contained in the liveCache.
In the first two cases, the lock tables have a fixed maximum size. This must be set so that it is not exceeded during current operation. Otherwise, this can result in program terminations since these exceptions can unfortunately not be caught in ABAP programs.
In BW, transaction data is blocked using selections. The locked selections are stored in the lock table.
This note is intended to provide you with information to help you determine the required memory consumption and then set the corresponding profile parameters. This note deals with the cases 1 and 2. If you want to use the SAP liveCache in the BI lock server, you can find the relevant sizing information in Note 816730.
Refer OSS - Note 928044 - BI lock server
Hope it Helps

SOLMAN monitoring of SAP XI/PI interfaces

Hello! ALL
We have been leveraging SAP XI/PI monitoring capabilities using the Alter Framework: ALRTCATDEF and setting up alert rules in RWB.
However, we would like to start leveraging SOLMAN monitoring features for monitoring SAP XI/PI interfaces.
Please, let us know if anyone has been using SOLMAN for monitoring SAP XI/PI AE & IE interface errors AND how it can be done; so that we can work with Basis in getting this set up in SOLMAN.
Any info - or - documentation and links related to SOLMAN monitoring of SAP XI/PI interfaces would help.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Need Help on using Forge Config Manager and CAS. Questions listed in the content below

Hi All,
I have an existing Endeca pipeline implementation where we read the data sets (Product Catalog Information) from Oracle database using JDBC adapters. The data set undergoes a series of manipulation until it gets indexed to the Endeca system. We make use of PCI for dimensions and dimension values. However, we now want to extend PCI to also include the Product catalog information. The current implementation also does not make use of CAS adapters to consume the dimensions data in PCI. The next consideration is to implement PCI as close to Out of the Box provisions and standardize it. Therefore we are also considering to implement CAS.
The questions are as below:
1. What are the ideal parameters that should support the use of PCI implementation (Dataset + dimension + precedence Rules + schema information) ? Note: We DO NOT have any product catalog system (like ATG) between database and Endeca.
2. Considering that we do not have any product catalog system to organize and maintain data, how feasible is it to read directly from database through CAS Adapters and process the data ?
3. We also plan to introduce partial update pipeline in future releases. Keeping that in mind should CAS based approach help us to read from a record store at the time of partial updates ?
4.in case we are limiting to a business case of implementing partial updates in the above explained existing design, should a custom CAS approach be a better design ? Custom CAS approach = writing the baseline output data to record store and later referring it at the time of partial updates.
5. Will CAS based approach help to reduce the baseline timings ?
6. What is the best way to export data to record store instance in the above design ? (Record store API / Command line utility / CAS crawl)
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Neeraj,
You cam use both PI SLD and Solman Local SLD for LMDB synchronization. Now here you make to make sure that correct ranks are assigned to PI and Solman SLD. With the help of multiple sld, you can remove the cause of concern. Local SLD should always be of solman.
For CR content. that you can do for solution manager system in a click.

How to include BC documentation in the metadata repository

Hi experts,
Currently, my bw 3.5 system doesn't display the business content documentation in the metadata repository, the one available in the help.sap.com sitie.
In the sap documentation is stated:
"To include SAP Content documentation in the online documentation generated for metadata objects, it must be installed in plain html http format for static help and using a Web server. The Content documentation can then be read by the Web server from any front end platform using the http protocol, and displayed in a Web browser.
You can find additional information about maintaining setting variants for online help (transaction SR13) in the Business Information Warehouse Implementation Guide (IMG), under the node General BW Settings ® Settings for Displaying SAP Content Documentation."
however I can figure out how to put the bc documentation in my metadata repository
I execute TC SR13, and has this entry in the PlainHtmlHttp tab:
ONLINE-EN WN32 IWBHELP http://help.sap.com saphelp_nw04/helpdata EN default is ON
I appreciate an step by step solution for my problem
thanks everybody

I dont know if theres a way to do that....
I think is not possibl because if you want to open the web pages of help.sap is requered that your SAP system would have http connection directly to internet and at least by a security issue no recommended.....
Use sap help in web....

Deploy and Retrieve Content in PS 3.5

Hi ,
I'm trying to use Interwoven team site/ BEA turbo as the 3rd party Content
Engine to deploy content into the Personalisation Server 3.5 JDBC store.
The intention is to use the JSP cm: and pz: tag to query and retrieve
content, particulary for PDF and MS word .doc document.
What is the requirement for a thrid party Content Engine to deploy the
document reference into the personalisation JDBC store so that it is useable
by the cm: and pz: JSP tags? (eg. meta-data and any specific format or SPI
API to use??)
Can the PS tags support the viewing of word and PDF document? Is there any
good reference or sample? I found quite a bit on HTML and image file in the
e-docs., but no mentioning of other document types. Is this just a matter of
setting the MIME type?
Is there a reference intergration implementation avaiable eg. Content
Express that works for PS 3.5??
Can Bulk loader do the job? I mean to load PDF and MS Word document. Is
there a reference load script avaiable somewhere?
I'm a BEA customer and can get access to websupport. Is that a better
channel to post these questions? If not, where?
Thanks
Alex

Hi Jyothirmai,
If you have used standard business content objects in your current BW Installation, and want to take advantage of new business content, you have an option of merging the objects during BC installation.
In terms of additional fields in datasources, if you can map these in your datamodel then (without a reinitialization) you should be able to populate the data in your datatargets, however you won't be getting historical data for these fields, however if you do re-initialize then you will get the historical data as well.
You can refer the Business Content Documentation for new datasources/infosources and other objects (e.g, 2LIS_11_VAKON, 2LIS_13_VDKON datasources for extracting conditions in SD). The feasibility for implementing this depends on your R/3 PI release/whether or not you can upgrade your R/3 PI.
Hope it helps,
Sree

Implementation & initial configuration of SolMan 4.0

Hello ALL,
I am new to Solution Manager. I know the functionalities and the basic steps like defining the project, system landscape, assigning team members etc.
I have been asked to help with implementation and initial configuration of SAP's Solution Manager 4.0
we are doing a brand new implementation, making this requirement mandatory. I need assistance in determining what SM4 can do for us in our particular circumstances and guidance in configuration of communication between systems. I need guidance in establishing the communication between each of the systems and SM, determining appropriate thresholds for warning, development of automatic notification of problems (email, or perhaps even auto pages). We will also want to evaluate the pros and cons of using solution manager for change management.
Our R/3 system is at WAS 6.20 and running on MS SQL Server 2005. Solution Manager will be installed on it's own dedicated server, which we have built and loaded with the OS. We have Solution Manager 4 DVDs and the prerequisite WAS 6.40, Netweaver 2004s disks. We currently have development, QAS and production R/3, ESS Portal and Business Warehouse (BI). we also have a standby production server. All will need to be monitored using Solution Manager 4.
Can anyone help me how to go about with initial implementation and configuration. Appreciate your answers.
Thanks
Vom

Hello Vom,
For me the better information source for a beginner is service.sap.com/rkt-solman, there is very good iTutor under the 4 different user roles that will help you with satellites connection configurations, use of the different scenarios of solman.
For configuring the selected escenarios the best is in SOLMAN->spro read the step documentation.
Also alias solutionmanager->Media Library->Documentation and Technical papers will give you more extra information.
Best regards,

XI Content for Material Master used by MDM

Dear all,
Where can I get the XI content for MDM 5.5 SP4 to receive the master data sent from ERP system?
As far as I know, ERP sends two IDoc basic types (MATMAS and MDMRECEIPT). But why I cannot find at the URL https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004672592006E?
By the way, is it possible for ERP system to send master data via XI proxy instead of IDoc at the moment?
Thanks + Best Regards
Jerome
null

Hi Jerome,
your link is refering to the XI content documentation. To download the XI content, please have a look at SAP <a href="http://service.sap.com/swdc">Software Distribution Center</a>. Follow the menu to "Download" -> "Support Packages and Patches" -> "Entry by Application Group" -> "SAP Netweaver" -> "SAP MDM" -> "SAP MDM 5.5". There you'll find everything you need for your system landscape setup.
The standard extracors for materials do only support the IDocs in ERP.
Kind regards
Michael

BI Content Browser - Infocube 0BCTCBC01 obsolete?

Hi,
I wanted to get an overview of object relationships with BI Content Browser. In the BI Content documentation, there is an infocube for this 0BCTCBC01.
However, when I try to activate this, the following description is written for the InfoCube : "Obsolete. Use Master Data Reporting on 0TCTBWOBJCT instead".
What does this mean? How do I view object relationships based on transactional data source 0BCT_CB_1, using non-obsolete BI Content?
Thanks,
Arnold

Hi,
The use of protal in BI has picked up the speed from the version BIW 7 .Half of the customers who are using vesrion BIW 3.5 or below are not at all using Portal as a integrated tool to BIW. So you can provide the acess to the BIW reports to the endusers through the Bex Browser(with out using EP).
Use the below document to enable the Web in BIW .Just you need to do few seeting .
How to Enable Web Reporting
How to Enable Web reporting after new installation
SO you create the queries in the Query designer and you will use these queries in Web Application Designer to create the Web Templates.And the web templated are inserted into the roles through the Web Application designer tool itself.
So when the End user who has that role, logged into the browser , and he can see the links to execute those web templates(reports).
Still the end user can save those links in differen folders to organise better.
With rgds,

Trade BW Foundation - BI Content

Dear All,
I would be commencing a SAP BW 7.0 implementation under IS-Retail source system in a few days. For this, I was going through the available Business Content documentation on SAP and found an unfamiliar term called 'Trade BW Foundation'. Upon further reading I can probably make out that it is delivered in BICONT 7.04 and above and implements the Layered Scalable Architecture (LSI) model.
I do not have any idea of the same which lead me to the following doubts -
1. What is 'Trade BW Foundation'?
2. If it does, how does it affect the existing ways that we used to implement BW for IS Retail?
3. What if I use the traditional methods of implementing BW (0RT_C01)?
4. Are there any additional settings that I need to maintain?
5. In case I want to implement the Trade BW Foundation Business Content (first layer ODSs and then InfoCubes provided in Standard Content) will it give me the same results as the traditional method of implementation.
Any guidance/references on the said topic are highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Kunal Gandhi
PS: Have used the following wiki as reference for study - http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Retail/EnterpriseDataWarehouseServicefor+POS

Hi Martin,
Thank you for the prompt response. The link that you have sent is the same link that I have read and on the basis of which my doubts arose. Yes, it is a layer in the EDW concept, but I m keen on understanding is what is the significance of adding new objects in the standard content and how does it change the way Retail BW implementation takes place.
Would appreciate if you can throw some light on specific doubts I have raised.
Thanks again.

Kunal Gandhi

How to install business content Info Objects..

Hello all.
I am trying to do some BW extraction in our sandbox. Unfortunately I dont know how to install BC infoobjects. I have searched thru this forum but am still not fully sure. I have the source system client connected to BI. I replicated the datasources and see a ton of datasources under the UNASSIGNED NODES tree.
Eg: How do I install the InfoObject 0Material. Can somone tell me steps..I think I can figure out the rest after that.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The Data Warehousing Workbench for installing BI Content has three navigation windows:
In the left-hand window you determine the view of the objects in the middle area of the screen.
In the middle window, you select the objects that you want to activate.
In the right-hand window, you make the settings for installing the BI Content. The right-hand window also contains an overview of the objects you have selected, and it is here that you start installation of BI Content.
In the Data Warehousing Workbench, you use the Navigation Window On/Off pushbutton in the toolbar to display or hide the left-hand navigation window. The rest of this section assumes that the left-hand navigation window is displayed.
2. Assign Relevant Source Systems
If you want to assign a source system, select the Source System Assignment function. The Choose Source System by Default? dialog box appears.
Select one or more source systems by setting the corresponding indicators in the Default Assignment column.
Only ever select the source systems that you really need, otherwise you may have to wait unnecessarily when objects are collected.
The assignment of the source system is only relevant for source-system dependent objects (such as transfer rules, file DataSources, and InfoPackages). If more than one source system is available, only those objects assigned to the specified source system are collected ready for the transfer. Objects that have not been assigned to the specified source systems are ignored.
For more information about the special features inherent in activating process chains that can reference source-system dependent objects, see the Customer Content documentation, under Process Chains and Process Variants.
If you do not select a source system, all the source systems are assigned automatically. You can change your selection later using the Source System Assignment function.
3. Group Objects To Be Included, Determine Mode of Collection for Objects
Make the settings you require from the following selection lists on the right-hand side of the screen:
Grouping
Choose the objects that you want the system to include. The groupings combine the objects from a particular area. You have the following options:
Only Necessary Objects (default setting)
Data Flow Before
Data Flow Afterwards
Data Flow Before and Afterwards
If you change the default setting (Only Necessary Objects), the new setting becomes the default setting for your user.
The grouping selection has an impact on system performance during BI Content installation. For more information, see View of Objects and Object-Specific Recommendations.
Collection Mode
Select how you want to collect the objects:
Collect Automatically (default setting): The data is collected when the objects are selected.
Start Manual Collection: The data is only collected when you choose Collect Dependent Objects.
Set the collection mode to Start Manual Collection. You can select all the objects without having to wait.
4. Determine View of Objects
In the left-hand navigation window, specify how you want the objects to be displayed. For more information, see View of Objects and Object-Specific Recommendations.
5. Transfer the Objects to Collected Objects
In the central area of the screen, select the objects that you want to install, and drag and drop them into the right-hand Collected Objects area of the screen.
The Find Object function allows you to use strings of characters (for example, 0CUST) or wild card searches (for example, 0CUST_*B) to search for objects.
Input help is available for every type of object: Double-click on the Select Objects icon in the tree structure of the corresponding object type to display the Input Help for Metadata screen. Select the required objects. Choose Transfer Selection.
If you implement BI Service API Releases lower than 7.0 in the source system, you have to install the active version of the BI Content DataSources in the source system and replicate them in the BI system before you can use them for transferring data into BI. For more information, see Installing BI Content DataSources and Metadata Upload for SAP Systems.
In the Collected Objects area of the screen, the system displays the selected objects and all dependent objects. Collected objects are stored by default in the repository cache. This reduces the time it takes to access these objects when you want to use them again.
When you transfer objects into the Collected Objectsarea of the screen, these objects are also added to the tree structure of the corresponding object type in the central area of the screen and stored for your user. This personal object list can be called up each time the program is restarted.
If you want to remove objects from your personal list, select the objects that you want to remove and choose the Remove Object from Display option from the context menu or click on the icon.
Objects that are listed in several tree structures can only be changed in the place where they first appear. All additional instances of these objects are grayed out so you cannot modify them.
6. Check Settings for Collected Objects
Check the following columns in the Collected Objects area of the screen:
Install
The following BI Content objects are highlighted in this column by default:
Objects that are being transferred for the first time. There is not an active version of these objects in the system.
BI Content objects that have been redelivered in a new version. These objects can be identified by the Content time stamp in the corresponding object tables.
When setting this indicator, check whether the checkbox refers to a folder of an individual object: If the checkbox refers to a folder, the indicator is set for all the objects that belong to this folder. If the checkbox refers to an individual object, the indicator is set for a single object and the indicators for the other objects in the folder are not changed. The same applies if you deselect this indicator.
In the context menu, the following options are available for the installation:
a. Install All Below
The object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy are selected as to Install.
b. Do Not Install All Below
The Install indicators are deselected for the object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy.
Match (X) or Copy
If the SAP delivery version and the active version can be matched, a checkbox is displayed in this column.
With the most important object types, the active version and the SAP delivery version can be matched.
Note that the InfoSource TRCS supports the match, but the 3.x InfoSource ISTD does not.
From a technical point of view, the SAP delivery version (D version) is matched against the M version. As in most cases the M version is identical to the active version (A version) in a customer system, this is referred to as a match between the D and A versions for reasons of simplification.
When a match is performed, particular properties of the object are compared in the A version and the D version. First it has to be decided whether these properties can be matched automatically or whether this has to be done manually. If you are sure that the object will be used in the same way after you install BI Content, you can perform an automatic match for those properties. When performing matches manually you have to decide whether the characteristics of a property from the active version are to be retained, or whether the characteristics are to be copied from the delivery version.
Assign points if useful.
Thanks & Regards,
Hari
