Use of Assignment tab in Data Manager

Hi,
Can someone give me some real time example of using Assignment tab in data manager and what is the need of assignment.
In Data manager guide it's written that : "Instead of retuning boolean value, we can use any data type and we can assign this value to user editable field" ... Can some one explain me with example?
I also want to know "Is it possible to define assigment in Data Manager and on the basis of users i can assign this assigments with the help of workflow?
Thanks in advance,

Assignments provide users a convenient way to fill in fields.
You can set values for a certain field using the "Assignment" workflow step.
Eg: Approval Status
You can set the value for the field "Approval Status" based on certain other fields.
Several assignments for the same field can be defined.
Assignments are selected during runtime to calcualte the field value.
You have to be in Record mode to create Assignments.
Select the table for which you want to define the assignment.
The assignment is later bound to this table which is unchangeable.
Hope this helps.

Transformation in matching mode in data manager

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me when should we do trasformation in data manager (matching mode)? How can we do it?
Can any one provide me example?
Thanks

Hi,
   Transformations is a first step that we need to do in matching and merging process in MDM data
   manager to eliminate the duplicates.
Generally the same data in different remote systems will be maintained differently according to their
naming conventions, but it does n't allow us to do deduplication in data manager.
We need to normalize the data in specific format so that we can go for deduplication on a specific field.
   To create transformation ,
   Select transformations tab in data manager
   Give name for transformation.
   Select the field on which you want to apply transformation.
   Create the substitutions .In substitutions we have From means original data and To means destination
   data and Token means whether source data has to be converted in token wise or not.
   After that create rule and include transformation there.
Hope it helps,

BPC 7.5 - Data Manager filling tablespace

We are installing a brand new BPC for NW 7.5 SP4 system. When trying to import data from .txt files via the data manager, the system is generating /1CPMB/DM0000xxx (example /1CPMB/DM0000001) tables. The problem is these tables are being generated with a size category of 9. This defaults to a next extent of 320MB. This is on an Oracle-based backend BI 701 system with Dictionary-based tablespace.
If you only upload 1-2 records, then it falls under the initial extent of 16KB. But if you upload enough records to get past that initial extent, then it will blow up and take up 320MB of space, most of it being wasted.
We've engaged SAP Support and thus far they have not been able to provide a means to have these tables generated with a lower size category, such as 1, or any other work-around to this issue.
Initially, we were trying to load 60-100 smaller datafiles. But seeing how BPC is dealing with them by wasting so much space, we are looking at combining the number of files to a smaller number. If not, you could theoretically try to take up 32TB of space.
We can reorg the tables after the fact, but that doesn't help the newly generated tables every time we upload a file using data manager.
1) Login to BPC for Netweaver website
2) Go into the excel portion
3) log into the applicationset
4) click on edata at the top of the screen
5) select upload data file
6) enter source and target locations. the file is a .txt file (40KB in
size)
7) click OK to start the
upload
*error*
Any thoughts?

Further digging, the tables are hardcoded by SAP code to default to a size category of 9...

Data Manager - what exactly is/does that?!

Hi Specialists,
while checking my BW query times (using the technical content / statistics) I realized that the absolutely majority of time is spent for the "data manager".
So the next question was: What's the "data manager"? What is its function and how can I get more detailed information about the time-usage. How can I reduce the time needed in the "data manager"-step.
Could you please gimme some hints or links about that topic?
Searching the help.sap.com and the sdn (using the keywords "performance" and "data manager") didn't bring me far.

The Data Manager step in BI Statistics or an RSRT trace represents the database read time from your infoprovider. There are a number of ways you can improve this performance step (search for OLAP caching, aggregates, or BI Accelerator).

Data-management-config.xml issue

My question is if i can have multiple
data-management-config.xml files? for a better administration i am
separating it into multiple files but when trying to access a
destination it fails so i assume this is not possible, is that
right?

Ok imagine i have 30 destinations in one
data-management-config.xml, that's a lot of destinations, so when i
want to modify something in that file i need to look all over it to
find what i want, so instead of that it would be nice to being able
to have 3 data-management-config.xml files, with 10 destinations on
each, that way it would be easier to manage and update them.
This is requirement of the QA department, they don't want to
review a gigantic data-management-config.xml, they would prefer to
manage 3 or 4 files instead of one.
So the question is: IS this possible? or do i necessarily
need to use one and just one data-management-config.xml?

EPM/BPC10 data manager tab unavailable

Hello,
I have a question relating to EPM/BPC 10.
I cannot use the Data manager tab, because the buttons are unavailable (not highlighted/bold).
Does anyone know what could be the cause of this?
Thx already!
Dieter

Hi John,
That was my first reaction, too, so I checked this and I was assigned to the 3 standard task profiles.
Because of your input I saw that this was not enough. I have created a new task profile including everything.
So now I can continue. Thx for that!!!
One small thing, though:
I cannot see the tasks in the task folders during the task profile set up.
I can only see the folder and the number of items it contains.
So I don't really know which tasks I'm adding.
I don' believe this is normal, is it?
Can I solve this?
(Possible hint: I am working in a dutch version (don't know if this is relevant))
Kind regards and thx again!
Dieter

Use condition for assigning query to data provider with Javascript

Hi gurus,
I want to assign a query dynamically to a data provider when the user activated a Tab Panel in a Web Template (BI7).
I can do that easily with the standard function SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMETERS but this action is do each time of the activation of the Tab Panel.
So I try to make a javascript for assign the query to the data provider only one time.
My problem is I havenu2019t found a solution to get the default query assigning to the data provider.
Itu2019s an example of what I try to do with javascipt :
function Load_Query()
var r=GET_DATA_PROVIDER PARAMETER ("QUERYVIEW_DATA_PROVIDER")
if (r <>empty)
executeJS_SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMETERS_R()
Thank you for help,
Franck

Hi Janice,
You can check the Option Display Variable values only once.
Thie you will the variables being displayed only once eventhough they are used in Multiple Data provider.
If you want som variable to be data provider specific, then , you can create a new variable and add it int eh query.
For example in your case let us say COMP1 is the variable for company code used in DP1 and DP2.
If you want a different values to be selected for company code in DP1 and DP2 just replce the variable in DP2 with a new variabel COMP2.
Hope this helps.

Need a Userexit for ME51N, ME52N to access data in Account Assignment Tab

Hi,
I am currently using Enhancement MEREQ001, EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_005 to check line item data and display an error message.   That works fine.   My need now is to access the Order Number entered under the Account Assignment tab.
The import parameter IM_DATA_NEW does not contain this info.   Can anyone please let me know if there is an exit that can be used to access the order number from the screen?
Thank-you,
Priscilla LeMay

First of All, you have to get the information about item, so yo have to call the next method:
DATA: lv_acc_list TYPE mmpur_accounting_list.
CALL METHOD im_req_item->if_acct_container_mm~get_items
      RECEIVING
        re_items = lv_acc_list.
Secondly you must do loop to this table, and call another method for get the information about Account Assigment:
data: lv_model TYPE REF TO if_accounting_model_mm,
   LOOP AT lv_acc_list INTO ls_acc.
      lv_model = ls_acc-model.
      CALL METHOD lv_model->get_exkn
        RECEIVING
          re_exkn = lv_exkn.
In variable lv_exkn you have the values.
I hope it runs ok.

Data Manager Diff. Tab

Hi Experts,
In data Manager Matching mode under rule tab there are fields Success and failure and undefined.
Under strategies tab High Threshold, low threshold, Min score and Max score
Under transformation tab preview .
Please tell me what are the functions of these fields?
Thanks
Shalini

Hi Shalini ,
The Transformations, Rules and Strategies tabs comprise the u201CDesign Timeu201D portion of Matching mode.
The Matches and Merge tabs on the other hand comprise the u201CRuntimeu201D portion of Matching mode.
Workflow Tab supports Matching and Merging Automation.
Terms and there Functions:
1. Normalization: When we remove the Special Characters as well as the Short forms from our data we say that the data is Normalized and this is used in Transformation technique.
2. Token: When we have to reduce the short forms they are known as Tokens.
3. Score : Score actually helps us to define the Result in the following ways:
u2022 Success : If we find the duplicate fields it shows Success
u2022 Failure : If we do not get any Duplicate field we say it is a Failure
u2022 Undefined : If any of the field contains Null Value we say that it is undefined.
There are two types of Scores also:
u2022 Maximum Score
u2022 Minimum Score
Maximum Score and Minimum Score: The read-only Min Score and Max Score properties are calculated automatically by MDM based on the Success scores of ever matching rule included in the strategy, and allow you to set the values of Low Threshold and High Threshold properties to classify the results.
4.Difference between Equals and Token Equals:
u2022 Equals : Exactly matches the data
u2022 Token Equals: Fuzzy Matches are also considered.
5.Threshold: There are two categories of Threshold:
u2022 High: Records whose total score is greater than or equal to the High threshold score are included in the list of potential matches in the Matches tab and placed in the High match level.
u2022 Low: Records whose total score is greater than or equal to the Low Threshold score are included in the list of potential matches in the Matches tab and placed in the Low match level.
The Tabs along with there Functionality:
 Transformation: It basically helps us to normalize the data.
 Rules: This tab is used to define certain rules for our search i.e. what rules needs to be followed to find out the Duplicate values.
 Strategies: Strategies are the collection of Rules, we try various combinations of the rules we have already created and then try to find out the Duplicate Records.
 Matches: In this tab we can see all the entries which are found to be duplicating in our data, here we need to include all those entries which we want to merge, so that we can get cleansed data.
 Merge: Merge on the other hand is use to merge the Duplicate data into one. It has further two parts:
u2022Set: This is used to select the data for a field of your choice among all the duplicate data that has been found.
u2022Concatenate: If we want to concatenate the two data for the same field then we use Concatenate.
Hope this would be helpful..
If helpful do reward points!!!!!!!!!!!
