Use of storage bucket profile in APO DP

I'm trying to clarify the sizing implications of using various buckets in the APO DP storage buckets profile.
Suppose I have a storage bucket profile 1 consisting of calendar weeks and days, and a profile 2 consisting of weeks only.
What will be the relative database/memory sizing resulting from these 2 profiles?
Thanks for any advice...

Hi,
As our other friends have mentioned here, just having a storage bucket profile doesnt consume memory, however let us assume you have generated time series objects based on these storage bucket profile, the following example will highlight the memory usage.
Horizon used -> 2 years.
No. of Weekly bucket --> 104 or 105
No. of daily bucket --> 365
Now if you generate Time Series out of your SBP which contains both daily and weekly, total memory occupied will be 365 +104 = 469 times your number of CVCs
If you generate time series out of your SBP which contains just weeks, total memory occupied will be 104 times your number of CVCs..
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Copy Key figure data between two planning area with different storage bucket profile

Hi,
I have a DP planning area ' PA1' with monthly storage bucket profile data view 'PA1M' ( monthly TBF) and I want to copy the data to another planning area 'PA2' whose storage bucket is weekly. This would need me to write a custom program which will split monthly to weekly and then populate 'PA2'.
However, In 'PA2', I created two data views 'PA2W' (with weekly time bucket profile) and 'PA2M' (with Monthly Time bucket profile). If I am able to copy the data from PA1 (PA1M) to PA2(PA2M), it will automatically splits monthly to weekly in PA2W.
So my question is if there exists a way I can copy key figure data from PA1M to PA2M? Any BAPI?

Hi Rakesh,
You can use COPY/Version Management Function to do this.
Path: Demand Planning > Environment >Copy/ Version Management
The system takes into account only those periodicities that are common to both planning areas.
For example, if the data is saved in months in the source planning area (PA1) but in months and weeks in the target planning area (PA2)
the system copies to months in the target planning area and then Disaggregates the data to the storage buckets in accordance with the Time-based Disaggregation.
hope this wil help to understand the basic concept.

Key figure display in planning book with respect to Time bucket profile

Hi,
I am loading a key figure to planning area from the info cube for the current month. When I review the key figure in planning book with monthly time bucket profile it shows 85 for the current month. In the same planning book with weekly bucket profile, it shows 55 from the current week and future weeks and the remaining 30 goes into the past weeks of the current month.
How to make the total quantity 85 to show in the current and future weeks only.
thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi Murugesan,
Within the Planning Area, the data is stored at the lowest level granularity that you maintain in storage bucket profile. Then during display, system will decide what data to show depending on what kind of time bucket profile you use in the planning view, and the time based disaggregation that you maintain for Key Figure.
In this below case, what time characteristic do you have in cube? Is it date, week or month?
If it's date, check how much KF data is maintained on the dates which belong to week which has days both in this month/last month e.g. if I talk about Dec 2011, how much data is stored 1,2,3 & 4 th of Dec, 2011.
This data would appear in Dec in monthly view, but in week, it would appear in the week starting 28th November.
If data is maintained in cube in weeks, then you need to calculate how time based disaggregation would show it to you in months.
If it's months, then you would need to find out how much data would go to the days in the past week of the month.
The time based disaggregation may be causing you some issues, but in that case, I would not expect 30 out of 85 to go in the past week, unless you have data in cube in days.
Data shown in weekly view for week starting 28th Nov should ideally be a small proportion of 85, unless you are using a time stream/fiscal year variant, due to which most of December is in holidays. The only other exception I can think of is that you have data in teh days mentioned above.
It would be best to help the business understand this disaggregation logic, rather than thinking of manipulating the data to shift to a later week.
If this logic doesn't explain your situation, then please provide the date/week/month at which you have data in cube, and what quantity.
Thanks - Pawan

Time series inconsistency due to change in Fiscal variant/Storage bucket

Hi All,
We got into the situation where running time series consistency check on a DP planning area fails with the message pointing to, 'changes to Fiscal variant'. We are unable to track any changes to the fiscal variant though there is a possibility that storage bucket horizon could have been changed. Is there a way to correct/synch this by running a report?
We are trying to avoid re-initialization here, though this is an option, for the obvious reasons to backup the data in production. Is there an alternative solution to fix this inconsistency?
Cheers!

Dear Ashok,
You should never change a FYV when this FYV is used in a storage
bucket profile which is used in a planning area and if time series
objects are already created. It is no problem to maintain the FYV for
an additional time range, but changes and deletion of periods should
never be made if the FYV is actively used. You should not
change existing periods. If you want to make any changes to buckets
in your FYV or delete buckets, you should always make a COMPLETE
backup of ALL your data from the planning area into an InfoCube,
then delete the time series objects for the planning area (and with
this all the data in liveCache) and then change the FYV. After that,
you can create time series objects again and reload the data from the
Backup-InfoCube into the planning area. If you do these steps, you
will not risk to loose any data. The data in the InfoCube will be
the backup you can reload.
As some processes check the FYV some time before and after it is used,
it is very recommendable to maintain the FYV at least 2 - 3 years in
the past and in the future. E.g. if you create time series objects up
from 2001 you should maintain your FYV at least back to 1999 and if you
create time series objects until 2006, you should maintain your FYV
at least until 2008. It might be that you never experience problems if
you do not maintain the FYV in this time range, but some processes do
additional checks and then it can come to problems

Invalid time buckets profile reference

Hi :
I am getting fololowing error while loading data in planning book : " Invalid time buckets profile reference", and unable to laod any data to planning book
I have already done consistency check , initailised version , checked time bucket profile , storage bucket profile , and those are fine .There are no time stream id defined either .

Hi Virendra,
Check whether your time bucket profile falls same under storage bucket profile. I mean, check your fiscal year variant in storage bucket profile as well as in Time bucket profile. becz you have assigned the storage bucket profile to planning Area, which having fiscal year variant & if you are using different fiscal year variant in Time bucket profile, this mentined error will appear.

Unable to save Time Buckets Profile for SNI

I am getting this weird behavior with the Time Buckets Profile in SNI.
Whenever I Edit and Save the changes, the Time Bucket Profile reverts back to Years 0000, Months 0000, Weeks 0000 and so on.
I am using SCM 7.0 with the SP 06.
I have maintained the necessary Visibility Profiles for the relevant applications.
It was working until a couple of days and stopped from today. We recently added a custom view under SNI Details.
Any thoughts?
Kedar

Amit
this is not a Time bucket profile but a storage bucket profile
you cannot create or maintain it... its standard SAP structure for storing data in technical buckets
the use of this bucket is in interactive planning book if you want to see how the data is stored(which you seem to have used). This is useful , say, in explaining how the weeks overlapping two months has got the quantity. Again this is a temporary setting and cannot be saved in the planning book
SCM5.0 makes this a bit accessible by giving this as an option in the drop down icon for "period settings"

Storage bucket inconsistency

I am getting an error message, when i am running a LC consistency. The error says" storage bucket profile start times in LC are inconsistent with those in the data base. I try to create the time series as per the storage bucket profile and try to recreate the POB and PA. None of them fixed the problem. Did any body come accross the problem. Any help is appreciated.
thx
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Try the below reports (transactions)
1) /SAPAPO/PSTRUCONS
2) /SAPAPO/TSCONS
In case of any inconsistencies found, repair it.
Even after if the solution persists, down the
livecache after back up and then again makes it up
and then recheck it

Memory increase using app-storage....

Hi!
I'm working on an application that stores pictures in a directory. I was using ApplicationDirectory, which I discovered is a bad practice.
To access my pics, I used to use:
baseDestinationDirPath = "app:/Images". My program uses about 17Mo of memory, runs fast, but will encounter security errors in the future.
If I try to use ApplicationStorageDirectory (I copy files to applicationStorageDirectory):
baseDestinationDirPath = "app-storage:/Images", memory cranks up to 323Mo !!! and the app runs verrrry slowly.
What's the point???
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi Peter,
and thanks for answering. I don't exactly understand what you call "memory share". Maybe I didn't explain my problem right. Let's be more precise:
I've written this app using Air SDK and run it under Vista64. It uses some pics, and user can add some, kind of a gallery to make it simple.
One of my classes accesses thes pics, and performs simple operations (resizing, thumbnail generation, basic treatment,...).
Everything was OK until I decided to use App-storage instead of App directory.(At first, I wasn't aware of the security problems raised by writing ApplicationDirectory).
When I just change one line of code (baseDestinationDirPath = "app:/Images" to baseDestinationDirPath = "app-storage:/Images", the app starts running very slow and memory usage changes from 17Mo to 323Mo! Same problem wether I use a profiler or install and run my app.
I just tried to run both versions under Ubuntu 11.04: same memory problem (+ I get a security-error when trying to write to app-storage...). Under Linux I can't profile it, but my app is MUCH slower...
I really don't understand why using app-storage instead of app can alter performance so dramatically! I guess it shouldn't... I 'm trying to use different profilers to try to understand the problem, but I'm not experienced enough.
Thanks for your help!

Use of parallel processing profiles with SNP background planning

I am using APO V5.1.
In SNP background planning jobs I am noticing different planning results depending on whether I use a parallel processing profile or not.
For example if I use a profile with 4 parallel processes, and I run a network heuristic to process 5 location products I get an incomplete planning answer.
Is this expected behaviour? What are the 'good practices' for using these profiles?
Any advise appreciated...

Hello,
I don't think using parallel processing profile is a good idea when you run network heuristic, since in network heuristic, the squence of the location/product is quite important. The sequence is determined by low-level code, as you may already know.
For example, in case of external procurement, it must first plan the distribution center then the supplying plant, and in case of inhouse production, it must first plan the final product then the components.
If you use parallel processing, the data set which is sorted by low-level code would be divided into several blocks and be processed at the same time. This may mess the planning sequence. For example, before the final product is planned in one block, the component is already planned in another block. When it plans the final product, new requirement of the component is generated, but the component will not be planned again, which results supply shortage of the component .
If there're many location products, maybe dividing the data set manually is a good practice. You can put those related location products in one job, and set several background jobs to plan different data set.

SSD in Bios and can be used as storage but not as general drive

Hello I need some help and was pointed here by another MS Forum. The following is where I am at so far:
Hello,
I need some help. I have bought a SanDisk SSD and intalled it into my PC with the hope I could go from HDD to SSD but although the
BIOS appears to show that it has picked the drive up and it can be used as Storage Space, I am not able to use it as a general or main drive or migrate so it becomes the main drive.
I have Win 8.1 pro with media and a Asrock ConRoe 1333-D667 Motherboard.
Any help possible?

Hi Luke,
For a better understanding of the issue, when you say “main drive”, do you want Windows 8.1 to be installed on SSD drive?
You may create System Image of Windows 8.1 from HDD. Then remove HDD from the computer. Now Restore System Image to SSD and check if
it works.
To take System Image refer to the article.
How to create a system image to refresh your
Windows 8 PC
To restore files to SSD, follow these steps.
a. Open
Recovery by pressing Windows Key + C, and typing
Control Panel. In the search box, type recovery, and then click Recovery.
b. Click
Advanced recovery methods.
c. Click
Use a system image you created earlier to recover your computer, and then follow the steps.
Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with updated status of the issue to assist you further.

Thank you,
Yes I would like Windows to run from the SSD.
The main problem I have is when I tried to clone the drive to SSD it not even registering as a drive the same if I try doing a clean
install.
It shows as an available drive to clone to if I set it as a storage device but then when you attempt it it says not enough room even
though the drive has 127gb available and the drive being cloned only has bout 105gb on it.

Hi Luke,
Issues related to cloning drives are supported in TechNet Forums. I would suggest you to post the query in TechNet Forums.

Hope this information helps.

Hi!
If you have the possibility to do a clean installation, which I can see that you have, this is the best option.
What you need to do is to remove all drives from your computer, then connect the SSD only, enter BIOS and change the SATA Compability mode to AHCI.
Then install Windows to your drive and when completed, attach the other drives again.
I hope this helps!

how can i use the extra storage on icloud for all my music on itunes ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't use iCloud storage for your music, take a look at these alternatives.
iTunes Match
iTunes in the Cloud

Can I share my iCloud storage with my wife? I'm interested in using the storage for both phones, hers and mine.

You will not want to do that and you should just have two 5GB free accounts.
Too much risk of merging or losing data.

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.
