What is the use of cube partition?

Hi,
What is the purpose of partioning the cube by 0calmonth, 0fiscper? Is creating aggregates on cube by 0calmonth, 0fiscper same?
Thanks,
Sammy

hi sammy,
Partition of the cube is done to improve the query performance. If u dont do partition the data will get stored in the infocube randomly. while reporting it will take more time to execute the report because it needs to search the records in the entire infocube.
If u do partitions on a infocube while reporting the performance is improved because it will search records only in the relevant partitions not on the entire infocube and the response time of the query is improved.
Partition allows you to organize your data in a proper manner so that it decreases the search time.
In order to do partiton we should have 0calmonth,0fiscper infobjects in your infocube.
If u are having more years of data in the data ware house do partition based on ofiscper otherwise some years of data i.e 3 years do using 0calmonth.
Only oracle database supports partition.
Aggregates can be done on any characteristics we can create a aggregate on region infoobject as well but partition is be done only on 0fiscper,0calmonth.
Partition also improves load performance.
Assign points if u found helpful

What is the use of Data packet dim with Virtual cube with services

Hi Friends,
Could anybody tell me what is the use of Packet dimension in Virtual cube with services , It cannot contain data persistently ,Just fetch at runtime,Then there is no Physical load happening,Then why it should be automatically created for this??
Message was edited by: Pradeep choudhari

Hi Maik,
Unit dimension will not be created automatically until and unless you have keyfigure referning units..
But my question is : Why should we have data pack dimension , which is useless in this case of Virtual cube with services.It should not be created automatically!! What do you say??

Why do we create indexes for DSOs and Cubes.What is the use of it?

Hi All,
Can you please tell me why are indexes created for DSOs and Cubes.
What is the use with the creation of indexes.
Thanks,
Sravani

HI ,
An index is a copy of a database table that is reduced to certain fields. This copy is always in sorted form. Sorting provides faster access to the data records of the table, for example, when using a binary search. A table has a primary index and a secondary index. The primary index consists of the key fields of the table and is automatically created in the database along with the table. You can also create further indexes on a table in the Java Dictionary. These are called secondary indexes. This is necessary if the table is frequently accessed in a way that does not take advantage of the primary index. Different indexes for the same table are distinguished from one another by a separate index name. The index name must be unique. Whether or not an index is used to access a particular table, is decided by the database system optimizer. This means that an index might improve performance only with certain database systems. You specify if the index should be used on certain database systems in the index definition. Indexes for a table are created when the table is created (provided that the table is not excluded for the database system in the index definition). If the index fields represent the primary keys of the table, that is, if they already uniquely identify each record of the table, the index is referred to as an unique index.
they are created on DSO and cube for the performance purpose ..and reports created on them wil be also more efficent ..

WHAT IS THE USE OF RETURN TABLE IN BW

Hi Gurus,
I would like to know what is the use of return table in bw.. can any one give me the perfect answer....
Ramesh

Hii
Imagine a situation where 1 record coming into a cube needs to be split into multiple records. Lets say you get values total values for sector in the PSA. Now you may want to partition that value based on the various sectors existing. In that case you can use a return table and split a single record into multiple records.
return table option is available in update rules

WHAT IS THE USE OF 'ALTER DATABASE CLOSE' ?
I need explanation. Why should i shutdown?
Dont give me this answer.
ORA-16196: database has been previously opened and closed
Cause: The instance has already opened and closed the database, which is allowed only once in its lifetime.
Action: Shut down the instance.

If you read the documentation you will see that there is no ALTER DATABASE CLOSE command.
This is an undocumented Oracle command, which we are not supposed to use. Consequently we are not allowed to complain about the way that it works. Instead we're supposed to use SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.

What is the use of transporting BEx query to production from development ?

Hi !
if create a query by copying an existing query and make some modification in production and sent it to client..and client is happy as it satisfies all his requirement .
Then what is the use of creating Bex query in development and transport it in quality and then to production if we can create directly in production ?

Hi,
There is something called as SOX compliance..and three system landscape.
First of all you are not suppose to make changes to standard qeuries.
You can give it to the client a new copied query wirth required changes and it is very much accepted as well but how will it be tracked for future support.
Suppose there is a change in the underlying cube...this will affect all the queries and the new copied query which no one knows about will be affected too.How will you test it if its workinf fine with the new flow.
If you want to do the testing in production as well.... then you are not following SAP guidelines and may be you are violating the contract signed by you and your client.
Thanks

What is the use of E/F tables?

What is the use of E/F tables?

Hi,
When ever we are loading the data into the cube,the data 'll store in F table.
Ex: I have cube which Tech name is like 0RT_C03.And data is loaded.I can find the that data in F table bu navigating like this
Goto SE11 ,select Table radio botton and type /BI0/F0RT_C03.then click the display tab which is available in the bottom of the screen.
Ther you can find new screen the click the botton Content or 'shiftcontrolF10' and then click execute botton.Here you can find the loaded data.As this you can see E table data also .But you can find no data.
When we are generating the report based on this cube the F table data only available for reporting.not E table data.
I hope this 'll helps you.assign point if this helps

What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

Hi All,
         What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
for example
SELECT kostl
      FROM pa0001
      INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
      WHERE pernr EQ pernr
      AND endda GE sy-datum.
    ENDSELECT.
I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
please help me out...
Thanks,
santosh.

Hi,
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

Dear Friends
In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
What is the use of it?
Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
Thanking You
Arun

Arun biswal,
Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
For Ex Gross Value --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
Finally we have TOTAL --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
Routines are used to facilitate your process....

What is the use of Withholding tax identification number field?

Hello SAP Experts,
I posted this question earlier but had to close because of no replies from anybody. Posting it again to see if I am lucky to get some answer this time.
Can someone tell what is the use of field Withholding Tax Identification Number? Does it help with the reporting? Where does it get populated on the report if given at vendor or master record or within the withholding tax customization for company code? What is the difference between creating it in the customization for withholding tax information for company code and vendor/customer master record?
As per SAP: Withholding tax identification number
This is a number issued by the tax authorities per withholding tax type.
This number must be specified in Customizing either:
(a) As part of the withholding tax information defined for the company code, or
(b) As part of the withholding tax information defined in the customer or vendor master record.

Hi Pete,
The only thing that I could check is the content used in US:
See content of this field for US:
LFA1-STCD1 Social security number
LFA1-STCD2 Employer identification number
LFBW-WT_WTSTCD Withholding tax identification number for WT Type
In order to populate it, please kindly check the following:
The reason why you cannot fill in the field WT_WTSTCD in transaction
Fk02 however you can do it in XK02 (Change vendor centrally) can be due
to wrong customizing of the field status group.
Kindly check the following:
SPRO->
Finantial accounting -> Accounts receivable and accounts payable ->
Define screen layout per activity (vendors) -> Change Vendor(Accounting)
Company code data -> W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2 ->
FIELD Withholding tax code,w/h tax 2 will be probably just available to
display. Please, change it to optional entry.
I hope I could be of assistance.
Kind Regards,
Fernando Evangelista

What is the use of HTTPS 8181 port

Hi,
I am wondering what is the use of the port 8181 on the EE5 application server.
the second question. Why the application server open so many port on the same local machine. I agree that for security raison it is a good idea. But does application serveur use tcp connection to communicate between the server thread ?
So it is possible to add a thread in the serveur application to process some internal work. And of course it is possible to include this new thread in the communication process of the server ?
Can we have the map of all the tcp trhead use by the server application.
Regards
Herve Terrolle.

Your app has to run as root to listen on ports up to 1024,
also, some other app (apache?) may already be listening on port 443.
AFAICT port 8181 is just arbitrarily chosen, it might as well have been port 4430, or any other free port above 1024.

hi all
i have written the following code in my development system to change the records of my database.
SELECT * FROM zyikostl INTO TABLE itab.
LOOP AT itab INTO wtab.
    tabix = sy-tabix.
    DO.
      READ TABLE itab INTO ktab WITH KEY kostl_alt = wtab-kostl_neu.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        wtab-kostl_neu = ktab-kostl_neu.
        MODIFY itab FROM wtab INDEX tabix.
        CONTINUE.
      ELSE.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
ENDLOOP.
MODIFY zyikostl FROM TABLE itab.
In the development system i have only few records its working fine,but when it is been moved to test system there are 2500 records in the database so the report is taking much time(more than 5 hours )
i sthere any solution for this ....

End Routine
An end routine is a routine with a table in the target structure format as input and output parameters. You can use an end routine to postprocess data after transformation on a package-by-package basis. For example, you can delete records that are not to be updated, or perform data checks.
If the target of the transformation is a DataStore object, key figures are updated by default with the aggregation behavior Overwrite (MOVE). You have to use a dummy rule to override this.
hope this helps.
