Time Series for Chart

I have a requirement to generate a Time Series Graph based on 3 tables:
Time Series containing Period ID
Costs containing Period ID and Project, Activity
Project containing Project Data.
The structure is:
Period -----< Costs >------- Project
With Period Outer Joined to Costs, so that if there are no costs for a Period the Time Series still displays.
The problem I have is that when I select data for a specific project then the inner join causes my Periods to no longer display.
ie.
Required Result
<pre>
2008-Jan 10 Project A
2008-Feb 20 Project A
2008-Mar
2008-Apr 20 Project A
2008-Jun
2008-Jul 10 Project A
</pre>
Actual Result
<pre>
2008-Jan 10 Project A
2008-Feb 20 Project A
2008-Apr 20 Project A
2008-Jul 10 Project A
</pre>
I have tried to engineer the result, I've Cartesianed Project and Period together in a custom folder and done a single outer join, which results in something close to the result, however performance suffers - and if I select one of the further columns in the 'Costs' table (Activity) it then breaks, I am beginning to think that the only way to achieve this is to generate 0 cost rows for the missing periods into the Costs table.
Unless there is a way in Discoverer to have achieve what I require?

Hi,
Try creating a complex folder in the EUL taking the items you need from product and cost. Then outer join this folder to the period folder. You would then select all your product and cost details from the complex folder and the timeseries from the period folder. As you are only joining 2 folders in the workbook, the outer join with a project selection should still work.

Time series for cvc's

hello
In any case ( whether new cvc's added or the new period is to be included ) we create time series for the planning area. Not aware as to why Adjust time series option is given for Planning Object Structure at the time of creation of cvc's.
Any thoughts please
regards
KK

Hi
Yes you are correct we have some background jobs for create time series for the planning area which might execute depending on our frequency. But if you create CVCs and try to check before our program has to be executed in background we might have inconsistency. To avoid this inconsistency it is always advisable to put Adjust Time Series Objects indicator which will immediately Updates the time series objects for new CVC in all planning areas based on this master planning object structure.
SAP always recommends that you update all planning areas immediately due to which we should use this indicator .
Alternatively you can leave these indicator unselected for all new characteristic value combinations. Afterwords to adjust the time series objects at a later date we can choose Adjust Time Series from the context menu for the planning object structure in via S&DP Adminsistration. This also has some of the advantage like that you can create a variant and schedule the job to run later, when there is little system activity.
I hope this helps to answer your question
Thanks

How to build dynamic time series for the time dimension

I am planning to build dynamic time series using rule file instead of manually.Please let me know if there is any property need to assign to enable DTS property for TIME dimension.
Edited by: 844104 on Mar 14, 2011 3:37 AM

In the load rule in the dimension build settings you would need to go to the tab dimension definition, choose the time dimension and right click on it. Select Edit properties. If you have not done so, set the dimension to be the time dimension. Then go to the generations/levels tab and set the generation names you need. For example if you want YTD, you would set the generation name to Year, if you want QTD set it to Quarter. You would set the number to the generation number that coorisponds to the generation. The DBAG has the list of names for all of the DTS members.

Turn off dynamic time series for a single account

I have a gross profit % account that is "store data." When users enter differing percents on a data form in Jan, Feb, and Mar, using any of the standard time balance properties (Fill, Flow, Balance, etc.) the amount displayed in Q1 is incorrect. Is there a way to display nothing in Q1 for this one account? I do not want to completely disable dynamic time series because it functions properly for all other accounts.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Ryan

there would be a lot of questions I would want to ask to answer this properly but let me cover some of the basics.
1) I don't believe there is a magic time balance you can attach to that account that is "empty" at Qtr and Year
2) You could hide the qtr and year in the form (unless the form also includes other accounts that show qtr and year)
3) what is the correct math for the quarter you would want
4) a) Probably the right answer is to create a calc that does the right math. My guess is Qtr and Year needs to wait to add up the amounts in another couple of accounts then do the division.
b) you create a calc that clears the qtr and year for that account as another option
but once you figure out which calc method you want to go with you then attach the calc to the form to run on save and the user shouldn't see anything wrong.

Time-Series in charts

Hello everyone,
Being new to flash/flex/actionscript, I have a hard time
doing what I would like to do and hope to get some help from you.
I'd like to generate a <mx:ColumnChart/> where the
x-axis is a <mx:DateTimeAxis/> and would display only data
points that are only within X minutes to the past (for example,
only display data points for the last 15 minutes). The chart
dataProvider get updated every 30 seconds or so through a
HttpService.
I could not seem to find a flavor of DateTimeAxis or
Timebased data collection that would automatically eliminate data
points that are older than X minutes.
To achieve this, I currently have to set a timer in the
application, which on every tick will trigger invocation of a
function that would traverse the dataProvider and manually
eleminate that data points that has xField value (the time value)
older than 15 minutes and trigger the chart re-rendering.
Please help advise me a any other cleaner way to perform what
I would like to do.

thanks, and checking for aged iterms (items older than x
minutes) at the time I add new items to the chart is actually what
I ended up doing.

Time Series Line Chart - Monthly Sales - Make $0 or "No Sales" show up - not skipped

Post Author: kevinday17
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I have been messing with my chart for a while and I guess I'll just ask for help since I can't figure it out. All I am trying to do is chart out monthly sales dollars by customer. Simple enough...I have it working except I want to be able to see a $0 plotted on my graph when there were no sales in a month. Currently it just skips over that month and goes to the next where there is data (month after i.e next group summary field)). I've tried all sorts of ways of grouping. If I use the "group by date, monthly," on the "Order Date" field, I can't chose it as the "On Change of" under Advanced chart (single arrow is greyed out). So I ended up making a huge formula to make my own groups of months. My GH2 is the customer (and my chart), GH3 is my Grouping for month and year, and the detail is every single sales order. My graph points are based on summary data; sum of all the sales orders for that customer for that month.
How do I tell Crystal Reports that if there were no sales in December, then tell me 0. Don't just ignore it.
Maybe there is an option to make the X Axis Fixed with points (month-year, in order). It would be nice to have it uniform for every customer. I would love to see every graph that prints out have 36 x-axis coordinates; one for every month of the last 36 months (jan-05, feb-05, mar-05......dec-07) regardless of whether or not the customer had sales or not.
Thanks so much in advance.

I have CR XI, I created a formula and used it to create the chart section
if (isnull ()) then 0 else
So if your AMNT is a null value it should put 0, else the AMNT

Semiweekly Time Series Creation for DP

Hi,
I want to create a semiweekly (twice a week) time series for DP.
And this would be spread for 2 years (i.e. 1 year for the past and 1 year for the future).
So a total of 208 entries need to be made for this time series.
My understanding of the method is
1)     Create a fiscal Year Variant.
2)     Create a Storage Bucket profile based on fiscal Year Variant.
3)     Create a Time Series Object based on Storage Bucket profile.
4)     In the new Planning Area, provide the Time Series Object.
Correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Also can you provide the T-Code or Menu Path for the first three activities?
Regards,
Vikas

The Menu Path for
(1) Fiscal Year Variants
SPRO>APO> Supply CHain PLanning> Demand Planning> Basic Settings>Maintain Fiscal Year Variants
(2) Storage Bucket Profiles
SPRO>APO> Supply CHain PLanning> Demand Planning> Basic Settings>Define STorage Bucket Profiles
(3) I guess when you mean time series, you meant planning bucket profile
SPRO>APO> Supply CHain PLanning> Demand Planning> Basic Settings>Define Planning Bucket Profiles
(4) Define PLanning Area- /n/sapapo/msdp_admin
You define a storage bucket profile
(5) Define PLanning Book
You define the planning bucket profile

How to use dynamic time series in formula

I have Time dimension with active Dynamic Time Series for Y-T-D.
I'd like to use it in member formula - e.g. IF (@ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)")) - but this doesn't work as I get error message Unknown variable or member name.
Any idea how to work with dynamic time series members in formula?
Still using Essbase 6.5 X-(.

As Glenn mentioned, I also don't believe you can reference a DTS member in a formula, you would have to calc the YTD. Take a look at the @PTD function to calc Period to date numbers, I believe this function was available in v6.
Having said that, we're assuming you want to calc a ptd number, but your example was based on an IF @ISMBR(). So the question becomes what are you trying to do? Given what I assume your time dim looks like, what would be the difference between @ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)") and @ISMBR("Aug")

Time Series in Oracle 11g

Oracle 8i hase Time series for defining calendars and other functions. How does Oracle 10g/11g support Time series features. I could not find any information about Time Series in the 10g/11g documentation.

Thanks a lot for the responses.
I looked at the 11g Pivot operator and is altogether a new feature compared to the Time series of 8i.
I would like to explain with an example.
1) The following query creates a table named stockdemo_calendars and defines a calendar
named BusinessDays. The BusinessDays calendar includes Mondays through Fridays,
but excludes 28-Nov-1996 and 25-Dec-1996. Explanatory notes follow the example.
CREATE TABLE stockdemo_calendars of ORDSYS.ORDTCalendar (
name CONSTRAINT calkey PRIMARY KEY);
INSERT INTO stockdemo_calendars VALUES(
ORDSYS.ORDTCalendar(
0
’BusinessDays’,
4,
ORDSYS.ORDTPattern(
ORDSYS.ORDTPatternBits(0,1,1,1,1,1,0),
TO_DATE(’01-JAN-1995’,’DD-MON-YYYY’)),
TO_DATE(’01-JAN-1990’,’DD-MON-YYYY’),
TO_DATE(’01-JAN-2001’,’DD-MON-YYYY’),
ORDSYS.ORDTExceptions(TO_DATE(’28-NOV-1996’,’DD-MON-YYYY’),
TO_DATE(’25-DEC-1996’,’DD-MON-YYYY’)),
ORDSYS.ORDTExceptions()
-------------- How can I create such calendars in 11g?
2) For example, the following statement returns the last closing prices for stock
SAMCO for the months of October, November, and December of 1996:
select * from the
(select cast(ORDSYS.TimeSeries.ExtractTable(
ORDSYS.TimeSeries.ScaleupLast(
ts.close,
sc.calendar,
to_date(’01-OCT-1996’,’DD-MON-YYYY’),
to_date(’01-JAN-1997’,’DD-MON-YYYY’)
) as ORDSYS.ORDTNumTab)
from tsdev.stockdemo_ts ts, tsdev.scale sc
where ts.ticker=’SAMCO’ and
sc.name =’MONTHLY’);
This example might produce the following output:
TSTAMP VALUE
01-OCT-96 42.375
01-NOV-96 38.25
01-DEC-96 39.75
3 rows selected.
--------------------- How can I get the above ouput without Time series functions and calendars in Oracle 11g?

Time series and Order series questions

Hi Guys - Need some help in understanding/Visualizing some basic APO concepts. I do not want to move further without understanding these concepts completely. I did read sap help and couple of apo books but none gave me a complete understanding of this very basic concept.
1. Data is stored in livecache in 3 different ways. time series, order series and atp time series. for now I am concentrating on just time series and order series. Can some one help me understand with an example how data is stored in time series and how it is stored in order series? I read that data which is not order related is called time series data and which is order related is called order series data.
My query is even in DP time series data, data is stored with respect to product and location that is transferred to snp. In SNP too data is processed with respect to product and location. so what is the difference in time series data and order series data?
2. what are time series key figures and what are order series key figures? I read safety stock for example is a time series keyfigure. why is it not a order series key figure? what makes a keyfigure time series or order series? can some one xplain this in detail with an example or numbers?
3. there is a stock category group in snp tab of location master LOC3. Stock category should be product related right? how is this related to location and what does this field mean in location master
Thanks a lot for your help in advance. Please let me know if I am not clear in any of the questions.

Hi,
Time series: Data is stored in buckets with no reference to orders.( If you place the mouse on time series data and right click for
                     display details , you will not find any information.
                      Suitable for tactical planing and aggregated planning. Usually in demand planning.
Pre requisite: 1. You need to create time series objects for the planning area.
                       2. When creating planning area you should not make any entries for the Key figure in the field Info Cube, category
                           and category group.
                       3. When creating planning area any entry you made in the field Key figure semantics with prefixed with TS.
                           (Optional entry)
Order series: Data is stored in buckets with reference to orders.( If you place the cursor on the order series data and right click
                      the mouse for display details , you will find information of order details.)
                     Useful for operative planning.
                     *You will have real time integration with R3.
Pre requisite: 1. You need to create time series objects for the planning area.( though you are creating Order series)
                      2.When creating a planning area specify a category or category group or enter a key figure semantics with prefix
                        LC.
                     3. When creating planning area you should not make an entry for the key figure in the field Info cube.
Thanks,

Relevance of Time series data in PPDS

Hi, we have an SNP planning area with some times series KFs in it. if we delete the time series for the PA what impact it would have on PPDS..
or what would be the relevance of times series data in PPDS?..
kindly explain.

the only relation of time series data to PP/DS I know of is Time-dependent safety stock planning in PP/DS.
Safety and Target Stock Level Planning in PP/DS
In Customizing for PP/DS, define the following:
· Make SNP key figures available
You define which SNP key figures PP/DS should use as safety stock or daysu2019 supply. (Make SNP Key Figures Available)
· Define planning area
You specify an SNP planning area that contains the key figures for the time-dependent safety stock/daysu2019 supply levels. (Global Settings ® Maintain Global Parameters and Defaults)
if you did not use the planning area and key figure there should be no influence.

How to enable Dynamic Time Series?

Hi expert,
I tried to enabled Dynamic Time Series for an application, by go to Dimension Library, right click, select "Dynamic Time Series", then selected both YTD and QTD for generation 2 and 3 respectively, then refresh database.
But found seems the DTS is not enabled, tried to use in in Smartview, but cannot retrieve anything. Is there any further steps I need to take to enable DTS? Please help!
My HP application is on 11.1.2.1 and we use EPMA. Thanks!

You should really only have to do what is documented at - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_admin/epma_dts_members.html
This may be useful as well in Oracle Support - "Clarification on the Generation Level when Setting up Dynamic Time Series (DTS: YTD, QTD,..) for Hyperion Planning [ID 1334732.1]"

Active Version - Update ATP Time series

Is there a program in SCM 5.1 to update the flag ( Update ATP TIme series) for Active version 000 in /SAPAPO/MVM without recreating the active version ? We have DP/SNP in production and will implement GATP and this flag is not checked.

Hi
This depends on your version of livecache apps, see SAP Note 792286 for details

Time series extention how??

helo sir
i have created a time series for a planning area long b4. now again i want to extentd the time series for the planning area? how could i do that???

Hi,
The start date take from the previous initialization.
Ex: You have activated your planning area from 01.01.2007 to 31.12.2009.
Now you want ot extend the time series then start date is 01.01.2007 to 31.12.2010.
You will not loose any data. But it is always better to take backup after every planning.
Do the initialization from as you said but there you cannot specify the dates.
So Please do it through program /SAPAPO/TS_PAREA_INITIALIZE.
Regards,
Kishore Reddy.

Issue in activating Dynamic Time Series - EPM 11.1.2

I am trying to activate Dynamic Time Series for one of Planning Application. To resolve the issue of reserved words, we have named "Year Dimension" as "YRS" in Dimension Library of EPMA.
However, in essbase outline the dimension name is still appearing as "YEAR". Due to this, YTD is not getting activated. Is there any specific place where one can alter the alias for a Dimension.
Has anyone noticed a similar anomaly ? Any input would be highly regarded.
regards
Navpreet
[PS : We are using EPM 11.1.2]

Nope that didn't work, but I figured out the error. I was running the command on a client machine. When I run the command on the server itself, it works fine.. well, now I have issues with my POVs, but at least it's finding my .csc file.
Thanks for your help John.
