Tracking History

Hello Everyone,
I am having problem understanding the Tracking History Topic in Modeling. There are 4 scenarios to Model for user requirements. I could not find any doc or transcript on this topic. It would be very kind of u to provide one. Are these important topics?
Its so confusing because u can mix different scenarios!!
What is the Difference between Hierarchy Structure & an External Hierarchy? Why called External?
Why is it said that Scenario D can be applied to scenario B & C? What does this mean?
How can nodes appear more than once in a time-dependent hierarchy structure that is version-enabled? (Scenario C)
Are Valid-From & Valid-To values copied from sys-to, sys-from which are generated by the system? (Scenario D)
What main points should I understand from this topic?
Please help me....I am drowning....

Hello All,
Somehow I'm able to get what i need. But still there is a problem.
The steps we are doing are:
Create a process level variable, which contains some hard coded state information.
Map this variable to the pdf form's text field A.
on the submit of the form, look at the field A and fill the history.
Now the actual problem is, we have used text box with Allow multiple lines checked. The requirement is history should be a listbox.
In text box the longer text is wrapping to the next line which is not strictly needed. If i remove that Allow multiple lines check box, we cannot scroll vertically when the text goes beyond the textbox boundary.
Now the problem with list box: We are facing a problem in using list box in mapping. As we dont know exact number of items we cannot have that many items in the schema. Is there any way to map a dynamic list box.
If the forms moves from A to B to C. Then the list box content should have 1 item when it goes to B, 2 items when it goes to C (along with #1), and so on.
Please guide us,
Thanks
Deepak

When attempting to view the date track history for one employee, errors out

Hi All
When I attempt to view the date track history for one employee, it gives errors.
To get the details, the navigation is :
1. Search for employee xxxxxx
2. click on Assignment button
3. click on Date Track History.
4. Receive error APP-DT-52554.
5. Click OK on error message
6. click on Full History button.
7. Receive error APP-PAY-06153
What could be the problem and how to solve this?
Regards
Rahman

Sounds as if there is an inconsistency with the date tracked records. Can you check the records through TOAD or SQL Plus?
Have alook at MetaLInk article 343070.1 which refers to the second error message.

Tracking history while loading from flat file

Dear Experts
I have a scenario where in have to load data from flat file in regular intervals and also want to track the changes made to the data.
the data will be like this and it keep on changes and the key is P1,A1,C1.
DAY 1---P1,A1,C1,100,120,100
DAY 2-- P1,A1,C1,125,123,190
DAY 3-- P1, A1, C1, 134,111,135
DAY 4-- P1,A1,C1,888,234,129
I am planing to load data into an ODS and then to infocube for reporting what will be the result and how to track history like if i want to see what was the data on Day1 and also current data for P1,A1,C1.
Just to mention as i am loading from flat file i am not mapping RECORDMODE in ODS from flat file..
Thanks and regards

Hi
You don't mention your BI release level, so I will assume you are on the current release, SAP NetWeaver BI 2004s.
Consider loading to a write-optimized DataStore object, to strore the data. That way, you automatically will have a unqiue technical key for each record and it will be kept for historical purposes. In addition, load to a standard DataStore object which will track the changes in the change log. Then, load the cube from the change log (will avoid your summarization concern), as the changes will be updates (after images) in the standard DataStore Object.
Thanks for any points you choose to assign

View of Date track history change field summary

Hi experts,
In Oracle HRMS, we have the function "Date Track History" in People/assignment. In the summary window of Date Track history, we have column which is named "Change Field Summary". For reporting purpose, I am looking for the view/function/package/... which can show type of data.
For example:
- If I give certain assignment number/assignment id, view/function can return "Birth Date, Full Name, Known As" in "Change Field Summary".
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vigneswar,
Thanks for reponse.
The view PER_ASSIGNMENT_HISTORY_VIEW shows data changes in columns, it is similiar with HRFV_PERSON_ASSIGNMENT_HISTORY view. However It does not show us which columns were changed like in "Date track history change field summary" window. I don't have access to Unix server, so that I can't do the trace stuff.
Thanks and Regards,
Hieu

Assignment Date Track History-Changed Field Summary

Hi all,
We have Oracle HR 11.5.7 FP.G.
In the HRMS there is a for the Employee's Assignment Date Track History showing the Changed Field Summary.
We want to specify the exact field(s) changed in Assignment for a period using SQL or Discoverer for Reporting Purposes.
Does anyone have any sample coding or idea on how to perform this?That is to specify exactly what fields changed in an assignment change.
What I can think of is to compare values but I'm not sure how I can get the desired result.
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanking you in advance
Elena

Elena,
To meet you're requirement: changes per person during a period
- done this before using audit trail, be aware that the reports that comes out standard, does not resemble anything a HR user can read. Quite often it says this ID has change to that ID. Building a reports that changes this into something meaning full for a HR/Payroll person does require a considerable effort.
- using the change event log (system extract) or the retro notification report (payroll) will give you're results in a better format. Problem you may encounter here, is that not all entities are available (by default). You may have to add some dynamic triggers.
- if you want to understand how the datetrack functionality is deriving the data, this paper on metalink may help : Create and Modify DateTrack History Views Note:177734.1

If you dont have many time use SE11 technical options to activate storing of the logs in table [DBTABLOG|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=dbtablog&cat=sdn_all]
If you have the time, look at [Change Document|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=change+document&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] and transaction [SCDO|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=scdo&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] where [Change-Document Object |https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/2a/fa018f493111d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm] are maitained

Regarding updating the Flags for tracking history in customer dimension

Hi Friends,
I need help,regarding tracking history in dimension tables.Actaully we have customer table and there is id and effective_date/expiration .Previously we were recieving 31/dec/9999 as highend date and I was able to update the active_flag based on this date in the table.Right now we started recieving the different dates
as 31/dec/2014,31/dec/9999.
I was using the below query :
UPDATE MDM_CUSTOMER_MST
SET ACTIVE_FLAG = 'N',
DELETE_FLAG = 'Y',
EFFECTIVE_END_DATE = TRUNC(CURRENT_DATE) -1
WHERE TRUNC(EXPIRATION_DATE) <>
(select max(EXPIRATION_DATE)
FROM MDM_CUSTOMER_MST
where ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y'
AND CUSTOMER_TYPE = 'FACILITY'
and ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y'
and CUSTOMER_TYPE = 'FACILITY'
AND CUSTOMER_KEY <> '-1'
it is working only if the highend date is '31-dec-9999' it is not working to track the history if it is '31-dec-2014' .could some one please help me to how to update the flag.

Did you mean to use TRUNC (expiration_date) above, but expiration_date (without TRUNC) below?
(select max(EXPIRATION_DATE)
FROM MDM_CUSTOMER_MST
where ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y'
AND CUSTOMER_TYPE = 'FACILITY'
and ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y'
and CUSTOMER_TYPE = 'FACILITY'
AND CUSTOMER_KEY <> '-1'Again, it looks like a != sign is missing.

Are you willing to share what you know about this problem? Post a complete test case that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas. Include CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some sample data (as the table is before the UPDATE) and the results you want from that sample data (that is, the contents of the table after the UPDATE). Explain how you get those results from that data.

HT5361 Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?

Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?
A great many of the traditional OSX installtion history items are no longer available in 10.8 One can no longer consult the installation history of the "Software Update" preference pane, because that functionality has moved to the Mac App Store utility. The Systems Information Utility does indeed show *some* installation history, but it does NOT include the Mail.app, for some reason. Fianlly, I can't find a web posting where apple at least provides the list of all recent software updates for mail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

UPDATE:
I have partially answered my own question. I found that if go to the History window for the selected file, then double-click the "version" (indicated by the label, which is actually displayed in the "comment" field), it opens the file in html. But, there is a "save as" button in this preview window. If I save the file to a temporary location and optionally, give it a different file name (e.g., to indicate the rev #), I can then go to Windows Explorer, double-click the file, which then launches in a browser window and displays the formatted web file. So this will definately suit my purposes from a audit perspective.
However, I still would like to understand how the tags, branches, and pinning works because that might be a better way?

which is actually in the base table ,so that i can insert it into the history table
All this should be done on frontend forms...

Tracking history of changes of master data

If there are changes to the following data fields to the transaction XD01 and VD01:
Industry - KNA1-BRSCH
Industry Code 1- KNA1- BRAN1
Annual Sales
of Employees
Regional Market - KNA1-RPMKR
CustGroup 1-10
Is the system tracking the history and current data for them? That is does the system track something similar to the following in a transparent table somewhere:
Customer___From_____To________Regional Market
111___01.01.2000__12.31.2005____R100
111___01.01.2006__01.01.2007____R105
111___01.02.2007__12.31.9999____R111
Etc.

Hello Edna,
System do track changes in the master data.
Go to VD02 or XD02, then go to Environment > Account changes>All Fields.
You will get the changes done, if any.
Also you can check in transaction OV51.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Priyanka

How to view purchased track history?

Hard drive went down and lost some tracks that were not backed up. In an attempt to determine what I lost, would like to see entire purchase history. When I select 18 months in history no purchases are displayed. This is not correct. Many were executed within the past 30 days.
Any suggestions? Do I have to use the same computer on which they were purchased?

Found it! Was looking in Store instead of iTunes. History is available when logged in and then by licking on login ID field.

IChat Buddy Status Tracking History

I usually leave my Mac running 24/7 including iChat.
I would like to know if one of my friends has logged in and logged out during the day/night.
Is there any way to track the status history of my friends. ie time & date they come online and offline.
If not in iChat, how about Adium.

Thanks. Just tried to install in 10.6.2 with thus error message ......
Chax requires at least Mac OS X 10.5.0 to run and will not run on non-Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) systems.
Rather than 'at least' perhaps it should be 'only' !?
