Vinay,
Further to what RAJ has written.
The BW Setup in APO is used primarily in the Demand Planning Module which supports multiple Business Processes  like Demand Planning, VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory),  SMI ... etc. anything that requires data to be stored in TimeSeries Planning Areas and also backup into BW InfoCubes (now called InfoProviders) ... for you to help in Reporting.
You can Release Demand Data directly from an InfoCube to SNP.  You can update the InfoCube from Sales History coming from R3 for the purpose of Forecasting.
In terms of KPIs reporting ... it is recommended that BW Reporting Activity is done on a Central Enterprise BW Systema and not the APO System. Use the APO BW for only SupplyChain Processes inside of APO (as above).
Hope this helps.  Reward points if you do.
Regards,
Ambrish

  • What does the PopUp "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" really mean and if I check the Box, how do I undo this if this was the Wrong Thing To Do?

    What does the PopUp "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" really mean and if I check the Box, how do I undo this if this was the Wrong Thing To Do?
    Details
    Constantly, while using Firefox (Beta v 11.0), and/or ESPECIALLY, when I have my eMail @ Mail.com open, I get this PopUp stating: "For security reasons, restarting mail.com Mail is possible only via the mail.com Mail Service. Please close this window and restart mail.com Mail" BUT Then there is a CHECKBOX: "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs."
    I have no idea if Checking this Box is a Good Idea or if it will Screw-Up my mail.com Mail Service...
    Anyone have an answer or explanation of the Use of this Little Check-Box?

    You do not get any pop-up windows on that website if you tick that box.
    That setting is stored in the cache and you should see pop-ups again if you reload the page and bypass the cache.
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)

  • I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases.  When I clicked on this I saw websites.  How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

    I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases".  When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
    Can anyone tell me how these get there?  Can a website be posted even if it was never went to?  What does the space amount mean?  For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit?  Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
    I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me.  Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
    Thanks everyone.

    Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
    As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
    if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.

  • What does the recovery CD contain - Satellite A100-847

    Hello guys
    I had a few questions about the recovery CD:
    1- What does the recovery CD contain? and the other CD which is called Media something?
    2- Does it have Windows in it? So I can format my PC using it? And from where can i find the product key (windows key)
    3- What if i wanted to use the CD without formatting? etc. installing the softwares?
    Sorry for asking too much but my laptop started disturbing me. Just for knowledge my Laptop is satellite A100-847

    Hello
    I will try to answer your question.
    1 Recovery media contains recovery image. Recovery image is a kind of package that contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some additional software like WinDVD or Norton antivir application. Media something is not known to me. Maybe exact description can help.
    2 Yes it has Windows OS. Yes you can format your notebook using it. You do not need product key. Just install it.
    3 I do not know what you mean. The fact is that HDD will be formatted before you start recovery installation. Be sure all your important data are saved on some external device.
    Bye

    Why do i keep getting the message 'Cannot connect to iTunes Store' when I have done every connection I can find? What does the error message (-1202) mean when I am on the iTunes site on my computer?

    Hi Velvalee,
    While there may not be specific information about that error, here is an article of steps for troubleshooting connectivity issues with the iTunes store:

  • What does the scriptcollector do and how does it related to jsf lifecycle?

    hi,
    i want to know what does the scriptcollector do and how does it related to jsf lifecycle? and also in the scriptcollector if i call this,
    preRender=#{myBean.onPageLoadBegin}
    postRender=#{myBean.onPageLoadEnd}
    how my page will react?

    The hx:scriptCollector is part of the IBM Faces Client Framework and has nothing to do with Sun JSF RI.
    Lot of the hx components require specific Javascript and those hx components should be placed inside a single hx:scriptCollector which on its turn checks the nested hx components and renders the desired Javascript for it at the end of the tag. Check the HTML source for that Javascript.

  • Does anyone know what does the keyword section do?

    Does anyone know what does the keyword section do? Under "Any of the webpages -> Properties -> Basic tab -> Tags/Keywords"?
    Is it used for part of the google search?

    Its tagging (Classification), one of the bright feature of any content management system. It allows author to classify the content in system. There are various advantages but i would refer you to go through http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/tag_admin.html. Apart from that you can search in google as well to find relative information about classification in content management system.

  • What does the checkmark do, in iTunes?

    I've been wondering for a quite a while now, what does the checkmark do next to the Track Title?

    The check can be used for various things:
    1. When playing in random mode, unchecked songs do not play
    2. For the ipod, you have an option "sync only checked songs"
    3. Can be used in smart folders in the "Match only checked songs" option
    4. If you don't want to import tracks on a CD you can uncheck them and click import
    I think there may be a couple of other things it can do too.
    Tip: If you want to check/uncheck a whole album, select the album in browser and command-click any track - voila the entire album is unchecked/checked (note: you can select multiple albums by command or shift-clicking them in the browser window and use the same method, OR do it to entire genres or artists the same way - whatever is shown in the tracks part of the window will be checked/unchecked)

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • What are the additional features in CRM2007 as compared to CRM2006s ????

    Hi All,
          I want to know what are the additional features that have been added in CRM2007 as compared to CRM2006s ?
    Are there any changes made to the architecture ?
    Regards,
    Ashish

    First of all and for clarification, CRM 2006s was already based on IC WebClient technology.
    As said before personalization by drag'n drop of ...
    - Assignment blocks on overview pages
    - Blocks on Home and Workcenter pages
    Additional important improvements were done for tables:
    - Drag'n Drop of table columns (sequence and column width)
    - "Excel"-like sorting and filtering of table columns (by clicking column header).
    Also an additinal, new skin has been added ("Standard" or "Signature Design") representing the SAP-wide future look and feel.
    "CRM Business Role" maintenance from within the WebUI itself.
    Adobe Flex based planning grid improves performance of planning applications.
    Support of Firefox  2.0.
    Concept of a "Working Context" in some parts of CRM (e.g. TPM).
    Integration into SAP Enterprise Portal as an option.

  • What does the yellow triangle mean on a mx439 printer

    What does the lighted yellow lite (triangle) on a mx439 printer mean?

    Hi zone88,
    The yellow triangle on the printer is the alarm lamp of the printer; if it is lit, it indicates that there is an item that needs to be addressed on the printer.  Are there any error codes or messages displaying on the printer?
