Impact Analysis: How to trace which objects and tables used in a report?

Impact Analysis: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report?
Currently, our company have been using BO Webi as our ad-hoc and reporting tool for over a year now. Past several months, we've been pushing our power users to develop their own report, and started to notice that we loss track off which data (tables, columns, ... , BO objects) being used where and by whom. The BI team now spend more time tracing through reports manually, instead of designing Universe.
After consulted with our local SAP technical sale, they said the only solution is to buy BO's ETL (Data Integration) and
Metadata Management tool, which price starting from $300K per CPU. I suppose that is NOT the right solution; however, we have not found one yet. Some executives believe Cognos (now by IBM) would provide a better BI solution as we scale.
If anyone know, please provide (1) Impact Analysis method: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report? and (2) Does Cognos provide better impact analysis method without a heavy spending?
Thank you very much,

EdPC-SCB,
have you tried enabling auditing?
- Yes, audit log only shows user's activities which isn't useful for us. Please let us know any audit log that might be helpful .
For most of the servers listed in the CMC there is an "Audit" tab. I'd say if you have the disk space in your database for Auditor available, then if in doubt turn it on (at least for a while) to see if it exposes what you are seeking to find out --that'd be the quickest way. The documentation (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf) doesn't offer much in helping you to see a correlation between ticking on an Audit option in a Server and how it will populate in the Auditor DB -- most of us just hunt and peck until we get what we want. Once you have the good stuff in each of the Servers ticked on you'll be able to track down which report recieves which object. To help youself out initially, you should run every report that you can find so Auditor will get seeded.
thanks,
John

What are Struts and how it is used in SAP

Hi
can anyone give a idea that what are struts and how it is used in SAP
Regards
JM

Hi John,
In this case google.com really us your friend - Struts is not an SAP technology, rather it is an MVC development paradigm (love using that word for Java. There are lots of useful websites with generic information around struts as well as a number of good books available from Amazon for instance.
As far as Struts and SAP goes - SAP use Struts for their Internet Sales CRM Webshop application. Of course, like anything else from SAP it has been modified slightly but is essentially the same.

What is package,and how can i use it ?thanks !

what is package,and how can i use it ?
thanks

A package is just a way of organizing your code. You organize the code in directories. For example if you have a package called "package database.util" you should put the Java code in a directory called "database/util/".

You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

What is eprint and how can I use it?

i just discovered e print on my wireless printer and hooked it all up. What is the purpose of having e print and how do I use it as an e mail tool? Can you give me some examples?

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
When you register your ePrint-capable printer with hpconnected.com, and your printer is alive on a home network, you can now print to it from anywhere in the world via email!
Any file added to an email as an attachment , and sent to the printer's email address will be spit out of the printer! This works for phones, computers, tablets, etc.
You can print a simple email itself by forwarding the email to your printer's email address. I set up a Contact in all my HP devices named "Printer", and I give it the email address HP provided me when I registered the printer. Anything I want to print is done by forwarding to "Printer"!
Using an Android device, or iOS device can be enhanced by downloading the HP ePrint app. It will add additional wireless printing capability to the devices.

What is LUW? How do we use it in SAP ABAP coding?

Hi Friends,
Kindly explain me what is LUW with examples and how do we use it in our ABAP coding with scenarios why and when we use it?
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
SAP LUW
Die Verbuchungsverwaltung
The Open SQL statements INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY, and DELETE allow you to program database changes that extend over several dialog steps. Even if you have not explicitly programmed a database commit, the implicit database commit that occurs after a screen has been processed concludes the database LUW. The following diagram shows the individual database LUWs in a typical screen sequence:
Under this procedure, you cannot roll back the database changes from previous dialog steps. It is therefore only suitable for programs in which there is no logical relationship between the individual dialog steps.
However, the database changes in individual dialog steps normally depend on those in other dialog steps, and must therefore all be executed or rolled back together. These dependent database changes form logical units, and can be grouped into a single database LUW using the bundling techniques listed below.
A logical unit consisting of dialog steps, whose changes are written to the database in a single database LUW is called an SAP LUW. Unlike a database LUW, an SAP LUW can span several dialog steps, and be executed using a series of different work processes. If an SAP LUW contains database changes, you should either write all of them or none at all to the database. To ensure that this happens, you must include a database commit when your transaction has ended successfully, and a database rollback in case the program detects an error. However, since database changes from a database LUW cannot be reversed in a subsequent database LUW, you must make all of the database changes for the SAP LUW in a single database LUW. To maintain data integrity, you must bundle all of you database changes in the final database LUW of the SAP LUW. The following diagram illustrates this principle:
Database Logical Unit of Work (LUW)
From the point of view of database programming, a database LUW is an inseparable sequence of database operations that ends with a database commit. The database LUW is either fully executed by the database system or not at all. Once a database LUW has been successfully executed, the database will be in a consistent state. If an error occurs within a database LUW, all of the database changes since the beginning of the database LUW are reversed. This leaves the database in the state it was in before the transaction started.
The database changes that occur within a database LUW are not actually written to the database until after the database commit. Until this happens, you can use a database rollback to reverse the changes. In the R/3 System, database commits and rollbacks can be triggered either implicitly or using explicit commands.
Implicit Database Commits in the R/3 System
A work process can only execute a single database LUW. The consequence of this is that a work process must always end a database LUW when it finishes its work for a user or an external call. Work processes trigger an implicit database commit in the following situations:
When a dialog step is completed
Control changes from the work process back to the SAP GUI.
When a function module is called in another work process (RFC).
Control passes to the other work process.
When the called function module (RFC) in the other work process ends.
Control returns to the calling work process.
When a WAIT statement interrupts the work process.
Control passes to another work process.
Error dialogs (information, warning, or error messages) in dialog steps.
Control passes from the work process to the SAP GUI.
Explicit Database Commits in the R/3 System
There are two ways to trigger an explicit database commit in your application programs:
Call the function module DB_COMMIT
The sole task of this function module is to start a database commit.
Use the ABAP statement COMMIT WORK
This statement starts a database commit, but also performs other tasks (refer to the keyword documentation for COMMIT WORK).
Implicit Database Rollbacks in the R/3 System
The following cases lead to an implicit database rollback:
Runtime error in an application program
This occurs whenever an application program has to terminate because of an unforeseen situation (for example, trying to divide by zero).
Termination message
Termination messages are generated using the ABAP statement MESSAGE with the message type A or X. In certain cases (updates), they are also generated with message types I, W, and E. These messages end the current application program.
Explicit Database Rollbacks in the R/3 System
You can trigger a database rollback explicitly using the ABAP statement ROLLBACK WORK. This statement starts a database rollback, but also performs other tasks (refer to the keyword documentation for COMMIT WORK).
From the above, we can draw up the following list of points at which database LUWs begin and end.
A Database LUW Begins
Each time a dialog step starts (when the dialog step is sent to the work process).
Whenever the previous database LUW ends in a database commit.
Whenever the previous database LUW ends in a database rollback.
A Database LUW Ends
Each time a database commit occurs. This writes all of the changes to the database.
Each time a database rollback occurs. This reverses all of the changes made during the LUW.
Database LUWs and Database Locks
As well as the database changes made within it, a database LUW also consists of database locks. The database system uses locks to ensure that two or more users cannot change the same data simultaneously, since this could lead to inconsistent data being written to the database. A database lock can only be active for the duration of a database LUW. They are automatically released when the database LUW ends. In order to program SAP LUWs, we need a lock mechanism within the R/3 System that allows us to create locks with a longer lifetime (refer to The R/3 Locking Concept).
The bundling technique for database changes within an SAP LUW ensures that you can still reverse them. It also means that you can distribute a transaction across more than one work process, and even across more than one R/3 System. The possibilities for bundling database changes within an SAP LUW are listed below:
The simplest form of bundling would be to process a whole application within a single dialog step. Here, the system checks the users input and updates the database without a database commit occurring within the dialog step itself. Of course, this is not suitable for complex business processes. Instead, the R/3 Basis system contains the following bundling techniques.
Bundling using Function Modules for Updates
If you call a function module using the CALL FUNCTION... IN UPDATE TASK statement, the function module is flagged for execution using a special update work process. This means that you can write the Open SQL statements for the database changes in the function module instead of in your program, and call the function module at the point in the program where you would otherwise have included the statements. When you call a function module using the IN UPDATE TASK addition, it and its interface parameters are stored as a log entry in a special database table called VBLOG.
The function module is executed using an update work process when the program reaches the COMMIT WORK statement. After the COMMIT WORK statement, the dialog work process is free to receive further user input. The dialog part of the transaction finishes with the COMMIT WORK statement. The update part of the SAP LUW then begins, and this is the responsibility of the update work process. The SAP LUW is complete once the update process has committed or rolled back all of the database changes.
For further information about how to create function modules for use in update, refer to Creating Function Modules for Database Updates
During the update, errors only occur in exceptional cases, since the system checks for all logical errors, such as incorrect entries, in the dialog phase of the SAP LUW. If a logical error occurs, the program can terminate the update using the ROLLBACK WORK statement. Then, the function modules are not called, and the log entry is deleted from table VBLOG. Errors during the update itself are usually technical, for example, memory shortage. If a technical error occurs, the update work process triggers a database rollback, and places the log entry back into VBLOG. It then sends a mail to the user whose dialog originally generated the VBLOG entry with details of the termination. These errors must be corrected by the system administrator. After this, the returned VBLOG entries can be processed again.
For further information about update administration, see Update Administration
This technique of bundling database changes in the last database LUW of the SAP LUW allows you to update the database asynchronously, reducing the response times in the dialog work process. You can, for example, decouple the update entirely from the dialog work process and use a central update work process on a remote database server.
Bundling Using Subroutines
The statement PERFORM ON COMMIT calls a subroutine in the dialog work process. However, it is not executed until the system reaches the next COMMIT WORK statement. Here, as well, the ABAP statement COMMIT WORK defines the end of the SAP LUW, since all statements in a subroutine called with PERFORM ON COMMIT that make database changes are executed in the database LUW of the corresponding dialog step.
The advantage of this bundling technique against CALL FUNCTION... IN UPDATE TASK is better performance, since the update data does not have to be written into an extra table. The disadvantage, however, is that you cannot pass parameters in a PERFORM... ON COMMIT statement. Data is passed using global variables and ABAP memory. There is a considerable danger of data inconsistency when you use this method to pass data.
Bundling Using Function Modules in Other R/3 Systems
Function modules that you call using CALL FUNCTION... IN BACKGROUND TASK DESTINATION... are registered for background execution in another R/3 System when the program reaches the next COMMIT WORK statement (using Remote Function Call). After the COMMIT WORK, the dialog process does not wait for these function modules to be executed (asynchronous update). All of the function modules that you register in this way are executed together in a single database LUW. These updates are useful, for example, when you need to maintain identical data in more than one database.
For further details, refer to the keyword documentation.
For more details of RFC processing, refer to the Remote Communications section of the Basis Services documentation.

What is WinRar and how do I use it?

Hi: I have an iMac with Leopard OSx 10.5. I have been having trouble playing media files downloaded from the internet. I have VLC player which seemed to read many of the files, but neither it nor Quicktime will play any of the video files that I download with Xvid and rar tags on them. I downloaded WinRar but nothing has changed. I don't know what to do with the download - where do I place the files and then how do you activate it so that it will play the video and audio files? Then someone said to download Perian and I did that and I have the same issue of where to put Perian and how to activate it? Then I was told that if I have Perian installed to remove any divx files because Perian already has them. Does this make any sense? I do not have a good understanding of how to use "extra components" to be able to play video and audio files downloaded from the internet. Can someone tell me what additional things I need in order to play the various media files out there?
Thanks for any help.

Files with the .rar extension are actually archived files. Rar is an archive format. I believe WinRAR is a Windows program so it wouldn't work on a Mac. You would need something like UnRarX - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to de-archive files with the .rar extension. Xvid is a video CoDec that competes with DivX. You can download the plug-in for Quicktime here.

What is ".id3tags" and how do I use it?

Hello, I'm a Lingo newb and could use some help. I am trying to get metadata from MP3 files. The basics of what I'm trying to accomplish is this:
I have a text cast member called "Title" and I want to make a script that will change the .text property of the Title sprite to the name of the song.
I've been looking through the Lingo dictionary and have stumbled upon a property called ".id3tags". I think it might work but I have no idea how to use it. I simply want to be able to extract the ID3 tags of whatever song I import and display them as text on the stage. If anyone can shed some light on this situation, I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks

id3tags is a property of #swa members (Insert -> Media Element -> Shockwave Audio...) and is only available after the swa file has buffered. Here's some info from Buzz Kettles (one of Macromedia's sound engineers on the Director development team):
<quote>
use preLoadMember() & wait until state=2
... normally I leave my mp3s external & use a dummy swa member to preload the mp3s, suck out the ID3s, then link a 'regular' sound member to the same file & listen & control the sound playback using the standard sound control lingo.
To play true mp3 streams though, you must use the swa member for playback ...
NOTE: these ID3 tags are available from many mp3 files ...
Director will only read the v2.x type ID3 tags - the ones at the front of the file (if you drop an mp3 onto a hex editor you can see them).
(1.x tags are attached at the end of the file, which is really really useless, so we decided to not honor these at all)
btw - MP3Rage (for mac) can update older tags from the back to the front of files.

Lasso tools; What are they and how do you use them?

Can someone point me in the right direction here? What is the best source in order to learn how to use the lasso tools in PSE-12? I have a great photo of my new grandson and want to eliminate the background. I am told that this can be done using a lasso tool and extract the foreground image as defined by the lasso and drop it into a blank background. How do I do it?
Thanks.

Here's another one that may help (again for Photoshop). Note that in PSE the Quick Select Tool shortcut key is 'A' (this is different from the Photoshop key 'w' referred to in the video) and you may need to press it more than once as it is also used for Magic Wand and Selection Brush. Refine Edge, used later in the video, is also in the tool options panel.

Ringbacktones - what are they and how do you use them

I went to VCast tones to download some Ringtones and accidently bought a Ringbacktone.
I would like to know what the Ringbacktones are and how do you configure them to work on your phone.
Downloading Ringtones and setting them up for different users is easy. However, I don't see any way to download Ringbacktones or how to set them up for contacts.
Any information or instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks

What are Ringback Tones? Ringback Tones is a new personalization service, which replaces the standard ringtone for your friends and family to enjoy. Choose a song for your callers to hear before you pick up a call. Use the language of music to express yourself before you answer a call and say a word.
How to purchase Ringback Tones? Ringback Tones may be purchased through the Internet, and through text messages to the Ringback Tone shortcode (728), use "RBT", "LIST", or the 3-digit song code in the message.* *Not Available in ALL Markets Check the Service Availability tab on the Ringback Tones Website.
Click HERE for more info on Ringback tones
You cannot upload your own ringback tones or make them. Ringback tones are stored to Verizon's servers. So you just cannot. You will have to buy one directly from Verizon if you want it

What are templates and how does one use them?

I'm in the process of migrating from TheBat! (on WinXP) to TBird (on Xubuntu 12.04.4) and the terminology used by the two programs is drastically different. I'm finding the TBird "help" pages focussed almost entirely on brand new users who know nothing about e-mail, with no details available to assist people in my situation in getting up to speed.

I used the bat for a couple of months about 10 years ago. Basically all you have to keep in mind is the days when we did it on paper and you will not go far wrong in guessing what things mean.
Templates are :- think of a template in Microsoft Word really. Canned text useful for canned responses like automated "Thank you for your inquiry we will get back to you latter" stuff.

What is flip4mac? how do i use it?

can someone tell me about this? i'm assuming this is something that would allow you to open windows media files?
can someone tell me how to use this?? do i have to download it? does this mean that i can open up a site in safari that contains a windows media file and watch it?

You can actually get it to work on intel macs for the time being (and work 100%) while you wait for the universal version to come out. there are instructions on macosxhints.com, but basically:
download the installer.
go to applications>utilities>installer.app, go to its info and tell it to run under Rosseta--there's a check box.
run the flip4mac installer.
go to applications>utilities>installer.app, go to its info and tell it NOT to run under Rosseta--checkbox.
go to QuickTime.app and click on its info (cmd-I) and tell it to run under Rosseta--same checkbox.
thats it, all ur wmv, avi, etc will open and run under QT. QT will run as a Rosseta app but there is no visible performance decrease, and it's a perfectly happy work around until the company releases universal flip4mac; at which point, u'll just uninstall this one and tell QT to no longer run as Rosseta app.
