Using Multiple Linear Regression from SAP Predictive Analysis within S&OP

How could I go about using a model exported from SAP Predictive Analysis, say a multiple linear regression model, as a stored procedure in HANA from within S&OP?

Hi Kevin,
You cannot use a model exported from SAP Predictive Analysis in S&OP. S&OP uses the same PAL libraries from HANA for Statistical Forecasting. We enable a few statistical forecasting methods from PAL like exponential smoothing from S&OP.
Thanks,

Can i use SAP Predictive Analysis for this scenario?

Hi guys. I'm new in this subject so I'm a little bit confused about in which cases SAP Predictive Analysis is helpful?
Could it be helpful for this case? I have prices of rice for differente years, from 2007 to 2013. Can SAP Predictive Analysis help me forecast what will be the price of rice for 2014, 2015 and so on?
Which algorithm should I use? Does it come integrated in the tool or is it an add-on?
I´ll appreciate it very much if you could send me the right steps to achieve this.

Hi Erika,
SAP PA has only Triple exponential smoothing algorithm; In most cases, single exponential smoothing would not make any sense [this is available through HANA PAL or R integration with SAP PA];
If you have R integration you should see something like this
In Single exp smoothing only alpha is used;
in double exp smoothing alpha and gamma is used; and all three in gamma.
Why these alpha, beta and gamma... has a big derivation to understand; [let me know if you need any document, I have compiled as on some reference]
What values alpha, beta and Gama should hold in Triple ... or what is the right value, .... actually there are no right value and wrong value for them.
... as for the steps to go in SAP PA, refer below:
Please let me know if you need any assistance ...

Nothing displays on Predictive part in SAP Predictive Analysis

Hi,
Earlier, I created a predictive analysis using R-K Means algorithm, and the result was displayed a week ago and saved it. I opened it several times, trying to beautify the same. But today when I opened it, nothing is seen and also I am unable to add analysis as well. I am using SAP Predictive Analysis version 1.16.0.
Please help me how to resolve the issue.

Hi Anita, in case this has not be resolved, i just had this issue this morning.
I was unable to add or see any Analysis in Predict Tab.
It seems that if you supress your preference settings
(in C:\Users\yourName\.sapvi\predictive_preferences)
including links to all of your documents, and "repairing" Predictive Analysis by Re-installing it, it works again .
It also seem, after reimporting the original issue document, it is blasted, so you'll have to redo it from scratch.
Hope it will work for you, notice me if it does !

Please Provide a Key for SAP Predictive Analysis 1.15 32-bit

please provide a needed a key for SAP Predictive Analysis 1.15 32-bit to be used in University Lab computers.

Hi Ye,
I am afraid but the only way today is to delete your document without PA / Lumira.
By default, local files are stored at :
User/Documents/SAP Lumira Documents
In this folder you'll see the list of all the documents you have created with SAP Lumira or SAP PA.
Delete the document that you don't want anymore and (re)start SAP PA.
The delete functionnality from the desktop tool is an idea accepted by the Labs (Delete Files in Lumira Desktop : View Idea), but not implemented yet.
Hope it helps,
Edouard

How can I make a graphic (scatter chart) with 1 "y", but multiple "x" (to make a multiple linear regression)?

how can I make a graphic (scatter chart) with 1 "y", but multiple "x" (to make a multiple linear regression)?

Émilie,
The default for X-Y Charts is for X values not to be shared, so it's entirely possible for you to create X-Y pair sets that have common Y-values and independent X-values.
This answer assumes, as always, that I properly interpreted your problem statement. A linear fit line for each pair set should satisfy.

Use of BW Extractors from SAP R/3 to a non-BW System

Hi,
We have an internally developed data warehouse. We need to extract master and transactional date from SAP R/3 to WebMethods, which will then send it to the data warehouse. Some will be full extractions, others will be delta only.
I am looking at my various options:
- Custom extract ABAP program to create either flat files or Idocs
- Oracle program based on oracle database triggers
- **** BW Extractors - My question - Can I use BW Extractors to create an Idoc or a flat file that will NOT go to a BW system? Sorry, I have no BW experience, but have been looking at RSA6, RSA3, RSO2, LBWE.
Anyone have documentation showing this?
Thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin,
The answer is NO. They are built primarily for BW. It simply wont work for other programs. A single mismatch in extraction logs between R/3 and BW causes unwanted ABAP Dumps.
You must device another way to harvest data out of R/3. I suggest you use Change Pointer mechanism in R/3. It is able to generate various IDOCS (Master Data and Transactional).
In the course of our R/3 implementation before, it is not an instant switch over to R/3. We need to keep our existing legacy systems up and running although the Master Data/Transaction maintenance are already in R/3 until all our branches have been converted to SAP. Change Pointers and IDOCS helped us achieve that...I think that setup is similar to yours...
If helpful, pls grant points...

Using Preview when printing from SAP

Just starting to use SAP Java GUI on the Mac and one of the 1st items I discovered was the inflexibility for printing. I would need to define the printer in the preferences of the SAP Java GUI and then anytime I would print it would just go to that printer.
Problem with this is that sometimes I work from within the office, and sometimes from home with as a result that my printer changes.
When on Windows, I also often performed a print from within SAP but then selected the Adobe PDF printer instead so that I had a resulting PDF file.
What I thus really wanted was for anytime I print from SAPGUI to the local printer to get a print dialog just like it does on Windows. I checked around but could not find anything to replace the lp command with on Mac that would then provide this. As a work-around I developed the following small script instead. Now instead of just printing, the print-out will be shown in Preview as a PDF. From here I can then save it as a PDF, print it, mail it, .... anything else one can do with Preview.
This is not the exact solution I wanted as I wanted to just get a print dialog; but this gets me a lot closer to it.
See next post (hopefully as I am having issues posting) for script & steps.

Instructions:
First, make sure that printing is setup for SAP Java GUI. There is sufficient information out there but main items are that the printer within SAP is defined with method G and that the device type os POST2 (for postscript). Also ensure that under output attributes Color printer is checked.
Next create the script. I put it in the /Applications/SAP Clients folder but it can be put anywhere you like. You can name the script however you like, I named it SAPLPD.
First thing the script does is converting the postscript file to PDF and storing it in the user's temporary directory. It adds the timestamp to the filename just to ensure there are no duplicated. It then opens the PDF file using Preview. It will wait for 1 second after which it will remove the file created.
It also looks that all the files in this temporary directory are automatically removed by OSX, so even should the file not have been removed; on next logout (I think) the file will be removed anyhow.
Script:
The script is:
#!/bin/bash
timestmp=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
/usr/bin/pstopdf -i -o $TMPDIR/sap_print_$timestmp_$$.pdf
open -a /Applications/Preview.app $TMPDIR/sap_print_$timestmp_$$.pdf
sleep 1
rm $TMPDIR/sap_print_$timestmp_$$.pdf
Once you have created the script it needs to be made executable. Do this by open the Terminal, changing to the location where you saved the script and entering the command:
chmod a+x (script name)
So in my case I would have entered the following 2 commands in Terminal:
cd "/Application/SAP Clients"
chmod a+x SAPLPD
Last but not least is changing the command the SAP Java GUI uses for printing. Go into preferences for the SAP Java GUI and go to the Printing section (under Desktop). There for the Print Spooler entry which is currently set to /usr/bin/lp you change that to the script. So for me I have:
/Applications/SAP Clients/SAPLPD
Easiest way to do this is by using the Browse button and then going to where the script is. No parameters are passed to the script so everything else can be removed. What I have is exactly what I show a few lines above.
And that is it, when now printing from SAP it opens the print-out in Preview and from there I can select my printer options etc.
Use of the script is on your own risk. It works for me but there is no guarantee that it will work for you.
Would love to hear about any other options.

How to use multiple tape drive from single client when I want to backup single filesystem?

Hello All.
I want to backup 1 filesystem using 4 tape drives for reducing backup time.
In case of symantec veritas netbackup, they can user "NEW_STREAM" for multi-streaming backup.
Please anybody let me know that how to do use multiple tape drive for single client.
1. Backup Source server : Linux (1 client)
2. Backup Soucre : /data1 (500GB)
-> Current directory structure doesn't have sub directory under /data1, just files present under /data1
If direcotry struceture has a sub-direcotry like( /data1/aaa, /data1/bbb ), Is it availble to use multiple tape drives?
3. Tape Drive with OSB : LTO6 * 4 drives
Thank you.

You would have to create a different dataset for each sub-folder. If you only have files at the top level folder then even the NEW_STREAM option couldn't be used to split the job.
Organise it into folders and then create datasets in a client folder such as :
/usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/dataset/Linux/data1_aaa
/usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/dataset/Linux/data1_bbb
Then in the schedule you just specify the Linux folder. In each dataset you list the hostname and the folder name, such as :
include host Linux
include path /data1/aaa
Now it will create a new job for each dataset and therefore each folder.
Thanks

Using multiple DLL instances from Java

Hi All
I have an application which uses JSP/RMI/JNI in combination. I have JSPs on webserver and my application DLL developed in C++ on another machine (lets say appserver). So I run a RMI server on my appserver and RMI client on my webserver. Now RMI server tries to load a DLL for each client everytime it receives a request. However, it is obviously failing because there can't be multiple instances of a DLL in memory at the same time.
My question is how to resolve this situation.
I can use a executable program representing the DLL functionality. However, I am not sure if there can be more than one instances of .exes in memory at the same time.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Nikhil

Something is loading the dll.
Instead of loading it each time only load it once.

How to deploy the web.xml file when trying to use the JSP SDK from SAP?

I want to use the adduser.jsp which downloaded form SAP SDK samples to add user in BO, but I cannot run it sucessfully. I believe it's caused the web.xml file was not deployed appropriately.
could you please teach how to deploy the web.xml file for the JSP samples ?
Could you show me some sample of web.xml for the SDK jsp files? Thank you very much!

Ensure that you have followed below directory structure while deploying your web application.
   web_application_name
      WEB-INF
         lib
         classes
web.xml must be placed in WEB-INF. Ensure that you have included all the jar files and other necessary files in your application.

SAP HANA One and Predictive Analysis Desktop - Time Series Algorithms

I have been working on a Proof-of-Concept project linking the SAP Predictive Analysis Desktop application to the SAP HANA One environment.
I have modeled that data using SAP HANA Studio -- created Analytic views, Hierarchies, etc. -- following the HANA Academy videos. This has worked very well in order to perform the historical analysis and reporting through the Desktop Application.
However, I cannot get the Predictive Analysis algorithms -- specifically the Time Series algorithms -- to work appropriately using the Desktop tool. It always errors out and points to the IndexTrace for more information, but it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. The HANA Academy only has videos on Time Series Algorithms using SQL statements which will not work for my user community since they will have to constantly tweak the data and algorithm configuration.
In my experience so far with Predictive Analysis desktop and the Predictive Algorithms, there is a drastic difference between working with Local .CSV / Excel files and connecting to a HANA instance. The configuration options for using the Time Series Algorithms are different depending upon the data source, which seems to be causing the issue. For instance, when working with a local file, the Triple Exponential Smoothing configuration allows for the specification of which Date field to use for the calculation. Once the data source is switched to HANA, it no longer allows for the Date field to be specified. Using the exact same data set, the Algorithm using the local file works but the HANA one fails.
From my research thus far, everyone seems to be using PA for local files or running the Predictive Algorithms directly in HANA using SQL. I can not find much of anything useful related to combing PA Desktop to HANA.
Does anyone have any experience utilizing the Time Series Algorithms in PA Desktop with a HANA instance? Is there any documentation of how to structure the data in HANA so that it can be properly utilized in PA desktop?
HANA Info:
HANA One Version: Rev 52.1
HANA Version: 1.00.66.382664
Predictive Analysis Desktop Info:
Version: 1.0.11
Build: 708
Thanks in advance --
Brian

Hi,
If you use CSV or XLS data source you will be using Native Algorithm or R
Algorithm in SAP Predictive Analysis.
When you connect HANA, SAP Predictive Analysis uses PAL Algorithm which runs
on HANA server.
Coming to your question regarding difference,
In SAP PA Native Algorithm, we could provide the Data variable, Algorithm
picks the seasonal information from the Data column. Both R and SAP HANA PAL
does not support Date Column. We need configure seasonal information in
Algorithm properties.
R Properties
1) Period : you need to mention the periodicity of the Data
Monthly : (12)
Quarter : (4)
Custom : you can use it for week or Daily or hourly.
2) Start Year: need to mention Start year.
Start year is not used by algorithm for calculating Time series, but it helps
PA to generate Visualization ( Time series chart) by simulating year and
periodicity information.
3) Starting Period:
if your data is Quarterly and you have data recordings from Q2, mention 2 in
start period.
Example.
If the data periodicity is Monthy and my data starts from Feb 1979, we need to provide following information,
Period: 12
Start year: 1979
start Period: 2
PAL Properties. : Same as properties defined in R.
Thanks

Can Archive Link be used to store the docs from SAP R/3 to KM Repository

Hi All,
Could you please advice whether archive link can be used to store documents from SAP R/3 enviroment to KM Repository. I have verified the storage types that archive link can support (Like HTTP Content Server) . But i couldn't see any storage type out there which is compatible with KM Content storage.
If it is not possible, Could you please advice is there any way to store the documents from SAP R/3 environment to KM Repository.
Thanks,
Sudheer.

Hi Vivek,
until now I haven't found a solution in detail, but some ways to verify the connection.
I wrote about a tool that export the pdf to the filesystem, this wont be able at this time, it must developed, because a function will place the data in a sap table and from this point there we can export it on the filesystem after we've develop some abap code.
I thought that was already available, but that what i found was the Report RSTXPDFT4 in the sap system, with this you can transfer spool to pdf and store the file in dialog on a filesystem, there will webdav be able to use, but it must be batch.
So I search to a new way, I try to set the repository for rooms from persitence from db to fsdb, this works, but with our patch sp9 there are some errors, so i must patch it to sp 15/16 first.
I'm able to make the netshare on windows, so the repository is reachable with an unc Path. If the report, that must be written can access such unc path (normaly thats works in the same domain) we can store the Files in the room workspace document folder an the portal synch job can make the rest. >IN the sap system there must be a table to map the rooms to the responsable folder.
This way should be work, but it isn't fine for productive, I heard from a way to transfer the data with java. In CRm System there should be a fnction from sap CRM_ISA_ORDER_CONVERT_TO_PDF and the isa use the java-stream to transform it in pdf, but this is nothing for me, that must be checked from a java developer, a colleague of my will check this.
Best regards
Thorsten
