Technical Design Review Question: Technical Build
I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
1. In the discussions of the technical build steps, the Profit Center was to be made the field for partitioning.
How is such a decision made?
And what is the implication?
Thanks.
Hi,
If the reports are profit center specific , you can built
the partitions on base of profit center. That means
reports does not take the data from multiple profit
center , then take that characterstic as base for
partition.
Here you will go for logical partitioning by
multiproviders.

Technical Design Review Question: Operating Concern.
I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
1. In the Data Flow Description, it was noted that
The operating concern will be 1010
Any clarification on the above 1010? Any clarification as to how the decisions on the operating concerns are made? What are the options and why is one chosen over the other.
Thanks.Hi Caud,

Try to take a look to this operating concern definition to better understand which char, value and account compose it to better understand how your company build this organizational unit (with a more or less uniform structure) related to its sales and the reason for what they choos this OC rather than another one !
Hope it helps!

Technical Design Review Question: mySAP Execution Architecture.
I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
1. In the Requirements discussion, I came across something
Job naming conventions apply and completion of Autosys Job Schedule request form is required .Forward this form to the mySAP Execution Architecture team for processing
Is this a an internal team or it refers to some group at SAP company?
Is the Autosys Job Schedule request form a standard for or you think the environment had just come up a form for their internal processes? What may this include?
Thanks.Hi,
If I understood correctly, The organization wants to maintain a document on jobs to be maintained regularly in production system. It will be used as a reference in the support of BW production activities.
I hope, the mySAP Execution Architecture team for processing is the internal team from your client.

Technical Design Review Question: Key Figures
I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
In the discussions of Key Figures, a table was provided showing Name, description, source field, data type and Unit. With the exception of 5 of them, all the key figures had data type as Curr(17,2).
My confusion is why all their equivalent Units were 0Currency while the 4 exceptions which had Data Type QUAN(17,2) had Units of the form zvv90_ME, zvv094_ME, etc.
I will appreciate your thoughts on these.
ThanksAll the Key figures which are curr(17,2) are meant to be used as Amounts which can be ties to different currencies..
Like The key figure might have a number 1,000 and the corresponding entry in 0currency might be USD which means its $1000.
You can find all the valid currency keys in the TCURC table..
On similar lines For Key figures which specify quantity a few examples will be ;
100 pc
30 Hr
Where the unit is stored in 0UNIT.

Technical Design Review Question: Requirements.
I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
1. In the Requirements, I saw a reference to some terms and I am wondering whether they are standard BW terms that I missed or, whether they are some abbreviations related to the particular project.
Product Contribution, Gross Margin, etc. reports from SAID, RAPID, and SMRS must be enabled from the BW COPA design
Any clarification on the above quote and are SAID, RAPID, and SMRS some terms in BW or some abbreviations in the project.
Thanks.Hi Caud,
I think it's better to directly ask your client !
Probably it's something related to reportins system...
??? SMRS = (Study Management and Reporting System from PercipEnz Technologies, Inc) or (Standard Mortality Ratios)
RAPID = http://www.microwavenews.com/rapidereport.html
...but are you working on an healht and science project ?!? -
Technical Design Review Question: Data target Mapping and transformation
I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
In the discussions of Data target Mapping and transformation, there was a table of characteristics, showing dimensions, BW filed, Source field, data type, etc.
1. What is the technique in deciding which characteristics get grouped together into a particular dimension?
2. Why do some dimensions only have one characteristic and what is its significance?
3. I saw one BW field, OVAL_TYPE (description= valuation type) included in three dimensions: Customer, Material and Valuation Type(only field=OVAL_TYPE). What is the significance of this repetition?
ThanksMorning,
To define Dimension means, to group all characters together, which do have a relationship "1 to n" and not "n to m" to reduce data volume (cardinality). If you reduce cardinality (which means to define 1:m relationship whenever it is possible and group them within one common dimension) you increase performance (make performance better) because of less data volume. It is essential to understand that this can not be changed easily after definition in PROD. So data modeling is also from this point of view very important.
Example:
An accounting object has a "m:n" relation ship to the accounting partner object. that's the reason way accounting object and accounting partner object do not belong to the same dimension.

Technical Design Review Question: InfoPackage Selection
I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
1. In the discussions of InfoPackage Selection, a statement
The budgets InfoSource will have full/Replace loads, based on plan version
Can you explain what this statement may mean? I am not sure I get it right.
Thanks.Hi Caud !
I think that thi statement refers to the possibility to delete the content of an infoprovider for the same selection criteria...so, in this case, you have to load budget data on the basis of the plan version and delete (replace) the already existing data for the same plan version loaded before !
Hope it helps!

Technical Design Review Question: Characteristics --UNITS
I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
1. In the discussions of characteristics I find that some were user defined i.e. begins with z and others 0.
How is the decision made to create your own Units? And in particular, what are the steps to define it in BW for the system to know it? Need to do the same on R/3 side?
Thanks.Hi,
You do not need to create the units and currencies in BW system .Those will be populated from R/3 system .For the updation of unit and currency table(in BW) you have an option in the context menu of source sytem in the source sytem tree(RSA1).

Review Question in Captivate 7
I have review questions throughout my course. I have them marked to not report in the quiz. I also have a quiz at the end. I have marked in my quiz preferences if the quiz is failed to go back to the beginning of the quiz questions. The problem is when you fail it goes back to my first review question in the module. Please help!!!
Retake/Review takes you to the beginning of the Quiz Scope and if you have also content slides in that scope, it is by design that everything is visited.
You can create a shared action, triggered on entering the first content slide (if all is linear) or entering each content slide (if not linear) that checks the value of cpQuizInfoAttempts (if you are at least at Attempt 2) and cpInReviewMode (to see if you are in Review mode) and based on that check jumps immediately to the next question slide.
That is the explanation. I have already explained those steps in another thread a while ago, stopped blogging or it should already have been there.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance -
RE: Multiple-Choice Format of Review Questions in i Books
Greetings Developers of the i Books Author App,
When will a widget be developed for i Books that allows users of i books to type their answers to review questions in a 'text field' so that users are required to logically demonstrate deep conceptual understanding in science instead of merely guessing a simple multiple-choice answer, either A, B,C, D, or E to a simple, trivial factual recall 'intellectually shallow' question in secondary high school science?
Thanks and Best Wishes,
BabyBoomer44You should send feedback to Apple directly as your target audience doesn't review the public discussion forums.

"Design" section on Flash Builder. Where is it?
Where is the "design" section of Flash Builder?
I have the latest version 4.7 from my Adobe Cloud. One of the phone support giving me a call back couldn't connect to my computer to see my screen, and told me to download the 4.6 version instead... what??!!
I am stuck on "code" only mode in my Fb system and can't do anything. How do I find my "design" mode for Flash Builder?
Also..... The "Chat" support on Adobe doesn't seem to be working... Anybody of you is able to connect to "chat" with adobe?Hi,
Ever since Flash Builder 4.7, they dropped Design View. That's why they told you to use Flash Builder 4.6 instead.
There are 3 Flash Builder alternatives:
The best Flash Builder alternative is FDT, but it does not support MXML Design View.
http://fdt.powerflasher.com/
The 2nd choice is IntelliJ IDEA, you can download a MXML Design View plugin, it's very cool.
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/flex_ide.html
The 3rd choice is FlashDevelop, it's free and open sourced, but it's Windows only, and it does not support MXML Design View either.

Hello, I am a new owner of an I pad mini. I bought this hoping to be able to use it for school. I am having a problem opening review questions because I need QuickTime. What can I do
QuickTime is not an app you can download to the iPad
However, many users have had success with an app called OPlayer HD to view their videos. And, there is a lite version so you can see if it'll work for you before plunking down the cash for the fancier version. VLC Media Player app is another possibility.

I have a component like the following and it completely crashes the design view in flex builder.I can see anything in the layout. Everything compliles fine and looks normal in the outline view. Any ideas whats wrong. If I remove the AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup's all looks fine

When using grouped columns you should change the <mx:columns> to <mx:groupedColumns>, I ran this example in a sandbox app and it works fine.
EXAMPLE:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="deals" displayItemsExpanded="true" dataProvider="{flatData}" width="100%" height="373"
sortExpertMode="true" variableRowHeight="true" headerStyleName="smallHeader" editable="false" fontWeight="normal">
