Workflow and BPEM material related to IS-U

Hi,
1. I have read somewhere that workflows related to SAP IS-U are available.
So could you please provide information (documentation) as where to find it and how can we modify it as per client requirement?
2. BPEM process is also available but documentation (ccokbook) or related info is not available.
Would be grateful if anybody can provide that.
Regards,
Paresh

Tapeless workflows and Sandy Bridge or other PC's: KISS or LOVE?

Tapeless workflows and Sandy Bridge or other PC's: KISS or LOVE?
Life used to be so simple when shooting video on a tape based camera. You shot your material, captured it for editing and stored your precious original footage on tape in a safe and dry place. Sure, it took time to capture, but the big advantage was that if you had a computer or drive failure, you would still have the original tape so everything could be recreated.
Now with tapeless workflows we have the significant advantage of much faster import of the original footage. Connect the flash card or disk drive to the computer over USB and copy the data to a HDD on the computer, ready for editing. The data on the flash card or disk drive can then be erased, so you can reuse it for more shots. But, like Johan Cruyff has said repeatedly, every advantage has its drawback. In this case it simply means that you no longer have the original material to fall back on, in case of computer or drive failures. That is a very unpleasant and insecure feeling.
The easy anwser to that problem is backups. Backup of the original media, backup of projects and backup of exports. This often means a bundle of externals for backup or NAS configurations. One thing is clear, it requires discipline to make regular backups and it costs time, as well as a number of disks. Four as a minimum: 1 for media, 1 for exports and at least 2 for projects. Note: This is excluding a backup drive for OS & programs.
There are different backup strategies in use. Some say backup daily and use one disk for monday, one for tuesday, and so on. Others say one disk for the first backup, the second for the second backup, then the first again for an incremental backup, etc. and once weekly a complete backup on a third disk. Whatever you choose, be aware that shelf live of a disk is far less than tape. There are horror stories everywhere about ball-bearings getting stuck after some time and without original tapes, you better be safe than sorry, so don't skimp on backups.
What is the relevancy of all this? I thought this was about Sandy Bridge and other PC's.
It is and let me try to explain.
Card based cameras are for the most part DSLR and AVCHD type cameras, and we all know how much muscle is required to edit that in a convenient way. Adobe suggests in the system requirements to use raid configurations for HD editing and practice has shown that raid arrays do give a significant performance boost and improve responsiveness, making for a nicer editing experience. The larger the project and the longer the time-line, the more a raid array will help maintain the responsiveness.
One thing you would not do is using a raid0 for projects, media and exports, even if you have backups. The simple reason is that the chance of disk failure multiplies by the number of disks in the raid0. Two disks double the chance of disk failure, three disks triple the chance, four disks quadruples the chance, etc.
Remember: Disaster always strikes when it is most inconvenient.
Imagine you have been working all day on a project, you decide to call it a day and to make your daily backup, but then the raid fails, before you made your backup. Gone is all of today's work. Then take into consideration the time and effort it takes to restore your backups to the state it was in yesterday. That does not make you happy.
Another thing to avoid is using a software or mobo based parity raid, for the simple reason that it is slooowww and puts a burden on the CPU, that you want to use for editing, not house keeping.
For temporary or easily recreated files, like the page-file, media cache, media cache database and preview files, it is very much advised to use a raid0. It makes everything a lot snappier and if disaster strikes, so what? These are easily recreated in a short time.
This was a general overview of what is required with tapeless workflows. Now let's get down to what this means in terms of system design.
Two approaches or train of thoughts
KISS: Keep it stupidly simple or LOVE: Laughing over video editing
The first one, the most economic one, is to use a system with 3 or 4 disks internally and 4 or more backup disks.
A typical disk setup can look like this:
This is a perfectly sensible approach if one does not have large or complex projects, long time-lines and is willing to take the risk of occasionally losing a whole days work, between backups. Many hobbyists and consumers fall in this category.
The KISS approach keeps it stupidly simple. The drawback is that there is no logical way to add more disks or storage. The discipline, diligence and effort required for regular backups make it far from a laughing matter. In fact it can quickly become a bore. Add to that the fact that the disk setup is simple but not very fast, so less suited for situations where lots of clips are involved, multi-cam is a regularly recurring situation or lots of video tracks are involved.
A number of video editors want more from their system than the occasional platonic KISS, they want to really LOVE their system, which lead to the other train of thought.
This is more costly than the KISS approach, but you all know a fiancée or wife is more costly and dear than the occasional kiss on the cheek by an old friend.
Let's start with a typical disk setup. It may look like this:
Two striking differences in comparison to the KISS approach:
1. Much easier disk organization and more disks and thus more space.
2. It requires a hardware raid controller, causing a higher investment cost. It is like an engagement ring. You don't get LOVE for free, one of the guiding principles of the oldest trade in the world.
These are easy statements to make, but what are the benefits or advantages, that you would fall in LOVE with such a system, and what are the drawbacks? Think back to Johan Cruyff's adage.
The only drawback is cost. The advantages are multiple, easier organization, more speed, more storage, snappier editing, no jerkiness, lesser requirements for regular backups and - this is the major benefit - hardly a chance of losing a day's work in case of a drive failure. Keep in mind that a parity raid keeps all your data intact in case of a drive failure, so lessens the need for up-to-date backups.
We all know, we get what we pay for: "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. OTOH, if you pay money to monkeys, you get rich monkeys". But in this case you get what you pay for, a much better editing experience with a much easier workflow.
Using a parity raid (be it raid 3/5/6/30/50/60) you get security, ease of mind that you are protected against losing precious media, that you need not worry about the last time you made a backup, that the editing you did today may be lost and you save valuable time editing and a lot of aggravation because of a much more responsive system.
How does this all relate to Sandy Bridge and other PC's?
First of all, the price difference between a Sandy Bridge / P67 platform and an i7-950+ / X58 platform is very small. Of course the new architecture is slightly more expensive than the older one, but the differences are small, almost not worth talking about.
So what are the differences? Look below:
The first thing to keep in mind is that the Sandy Bridge is the successor of the i7-8xx CPU and as such it is much more evolutionary than revolutionary. The CPU power has increased significantly over the i7-8xx due to new architecture and a smaller production process (32 nm), but in essence all the capabilities have remained unchanged. Same memory, same PCI-e lanes, same version, same L3 cache and no support for dedicated raid controllers.
It is great that the processor performs much better than the older i7-8xx CPU's, almost achieving the level of the i7-9xx range of processors, but is still limited:
The Sandy Bridge is unsuitable for anything more than a KISS system.
Why? Because it lacks the required PCI-e lanes to accomodate more than a 16 x PCI-e nVidia card with CUDA support to enable hardware MPE acceleration and the integrated graphics are not supported by CS5.
You may wonder if that is a bad thing. The plain and simple anser is NO. It is a great processor, it delivers great value for money, is a solid performer, but it has its limitations. Intel had a reason to position this CPU as a mid-level CPU, because that is what it is, a mid-level performer in comparison to what is to come.
The term mid-level performer may seem strange when compared to the old generation of i7-9xx CPU's, because they perform almost equally well, but keep in mind that there is a generation difference between them.
So what about the i7-9xx and X58 platform?
It still is going strong. About the same performance as a Sandy Bridge, with only the much more expensive hexa-cores clearly in the lead, both performance and price wise. The quad cores deliver about the same value for money. The main difference however is the platform that allows a dedicated raid controller to be installed, thus making it the platform of choice for those who want to go from a passing KISS to true LOVE.
And what lies ahead?
Sandy Bridge E on the Waimea platform (X68). Now that is revolutionary. More than double almost everything a processor can offer: double the cores, double the PCI-e lanes, triple the memory, more than double the L3 cache, increase the PCI-e support from 2.0 to 3.0, etc...
This is why Intel calls this a high-end CPU / platform.
So what now?
If you prefer a KISS approach, choose either a Sandy Bridge/P67 or an i7-950+/X58 platform.
If you wonder whether in the future you may need multi-cam more frequently, edit more complex projects and longer timelines or even progress to RED, look at KISS/LOVE solutions, meaning the i7-950+/X58.
If you can't have downtime, time pressure is high, delivery dates to clients are critical or you edit highly complex projects, lots of multi-cam situations or lengthy time-lines, choose a LOVE solution, an i7-950+/X58 platform.
If you have the time to wait till Q4/2011, Sandy Bridge E/Waimea looks to be worth the wait.
Hope this gives you some more insight into recent and future developments and helps you make wise investment decisions.

I'm upgrading from an AMD 3800+, cutting with Vegas 7 Pro. Usually shoot DSLR or HDV, sometimes P2, EX or RED. I have ridiculously cheap access to Macs, FCP/FCS, all kinds of software.
I've been agonizing over this for the last month, was originally hoping the UD7 mobo was the solution, read the read about the NF200/PCIe issue a few days ago, http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/non-linear-editing-pc/489424-i7-980x-now-wait-sandybridge-2.ht ml- and still decided to go for a 2600k.
My preference is to treat my video footage the same way as my digital imagery: I make (at least) duplicate back ups of everything before reformatting the cards, never delete the back ups, and only worry about the day-to-day stuff at night. Unless I'm rendering or involved in other long processes, in which case I'll back up the work in process the next day. If I am under a really really tight deadline I might back up as I go.
Yes, a RAID might make it easier, but I'm paranoid enough to prefer a slower, safer backup. You can always duplicate, and usually improve upon, a days work, but you can never get back original footage you lost. I have only ever had one hard drive die on me (a few enclosures crapped out, though)- it took a couple of (mostly unattended) hours to rectify. As a matter of act, I've had far more loss/damage from tapes than from hard drives.
I ordered the UD7, 2 F4s and 4 F3Rs, understanding I will probably want to upgrade to SBE when it comes out, or maybe next year. The 2600k/mobo/RAM will likely hold its value better than a 950/X58, likely because of the marketplace as much as merit.
The UD7 / RAID card issue is in it's early days, there may be a solution/mitigation. Probably not. But if I really really need a RAID card, then I probably really really need a 980, NAS, etc etc.
But Harm still rocks!

Material and representative material in PCA

Hello all,
I have an issue concerning material numbers in Profit Center Accounting. My aim is to be able to report on material group (attribute on 0MATERIAL) in BW for both plan and actuals.
In R/3 PCA they plan on field "representative material". Furthermore they post actuals on "material" field.
Extractor 0EC_PCA_1 brings all postings (plan + actuals) to BW, but does not include the "material" field. It only includes the "representative material" field, so I'm missing the possiblity to see the actuals per material number.
Extractor 0EC_PCA_3 brings all actual postings to BW and includes the "material number". However the representative field is not filled (since this is only actuals)
So I get what I need into BW, but in two different extractors (and also on two different aggregation levels).
I somehow need to merge the information of these two extractors. Is it a multi cube I should use here? Or should I rather try to modify 0EC_PCA_1 by adding the material number in an append structure? I actually tried this, but I still couldn't find the new field in the extractor. So I guess this is not possible here and that I have to go for the multi cube solution?
I need to get both the "representative material" and the "material" into info object "0MATERIAL" since the material group is an attribute of that. Could this work if I modify the update rules in cube 0PCA_C01 (this is filled with records from 0EC_PCA_1) so that repr. material points at 0MATERIAL (for plan values) and at the same time use cube 0PCA_C03 (this is filled with records from 0EC_PCA_3) which uses 0MATERIAL as standard (for the actuals).
I'd be extremely thankful for some ideas/help...
Thanks in advance!
best regards,
Fredrik

Hi Fredrik,
Some questions:
Is there a 1 on 1 relation between repr. mat. and material?
Do you have PCA_1 as Totals or Line Items?
If you want to report on material group you somewhere have to have a relation between repr. material and mat. group.
Of course you can always map the rep. into 0MATERIAL, but you MD has to be correct too.
And: Adding in PCA extractors is difficult!

RAW PHOTO WORKFLOW AND BACKUP?

i have a canon 20D which is set to shoot both jpegs and raw photos. when i plug my card reader into my mac, it automatically opens IPHOTO5 and then i download the images. i get two thumbnails, one says it is a raw, the other a jpeg. but:
1) i have no idea how to backup the raw images to a dvd or to my external hard drive. and (see below for related problem)
2) i don't know how to work with the raws. i do own photo shop, but tried dragging the thumbnail into photoshop, and it tells me it could not complete the task because it is the wrong kind of document. i had the same problem when just trying to drag those raws onto my desktop. is this because i am just dragging thumbnails, and if that's the case, where do my raws reside in IPHOTO?
3) and, even if i can figure out how to get the raws into photoshop, when i go to save them, how and where should i save them and if i want to use the corrected raw to send for printing, do i need to change to a different format? and should i save the new file in iphoto?
4) last, i get the feeling that maybe the raw photos i have imported from my cards into iphoto (then deleted the originals) now no longer exist as raws anywhere. does iphoto not actually import the raw, but just a raw thumbnail?
sorry for all the questions that might seem elementary, but i have never had a digital SLR and i really need to establish a proper workflow and make sure to backup my most important photos.
many thanks for all suggestions!

1. Click on the Finder icon on the Dock to open the Finder, open the Pictures folder, and you will see several dated folders (folders named as such: 2005-11-20, 2005-01-07, 2006-01-07, etc.). Each folder contains pictures you downloaded form your camera on those dates, but only photos you have not deleted.
2. Down the bottom somewhere (in the Pictures folder) you will see iPhoto Library. Open this folder and you will see more folders, but dated as follows: 2004, 2005, 2006, etc. Open one of these folders, and you will see other folders, but numbered as follows: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 11, 10, etc.
Not every one of these numbered folder will have an "Originals" folder, but some will.
Whatever you do, don't change the folder's names, or structure of anything in the iPhoto's Library. I have no idea if you should drag the original photos out of the Originals folder, but I would think that you can duplicate the photos, and drag only the copies into another folder on the desktop.
Keep in mind that you can set the iPhoto Preferences so that PhotoShop Elements is set as the photo editing application. If you set iPhoto to do that for you, when you double-click on any of the photos on the iPhoto window or display, Elements will automatically launch and open the photo for you. If the photo is a RAW or JPEG, Elements will show it as such at the left bottom corner. If you want to leave the RAW photo intact, just rename the copy you are working with- before you save it (don't save any photo with it's original name to avoid changing the original). However, you can save an original that has been changed in a format such as TIFF, and in another folder, CD, another hard drive, etc. TIFF files are not compressed and take lots of space on the hard drive, but the photos does not degrade. Every time you work with a JPEG image it degrades.
Again, wait for others to respond to your post. They may have better ideas than mine.

BPM, Workflow and Netweaver - Need Clarification

Hi Guru,
I am new to workflow, BPM and Netweaver. I have several questions about those concepts.
1. What is/are the different between workflow and webflow. Which scenario should take workflow into consideration? Which scenario webflow can be applied to?
2. What is/are the different between workflow and BPM. If I am going to implement workflow in a company, do I need to implement business workflow as well as BPM?
3. I need clarification on Netweaver platform and concept.
4. What is/are the different between workflow in R/3 and workflow under Netweaver?
5. If I am going to implement workflow integrated with R/3 and Outlook email, do I need to buy new wrokflow for Netweaver and Netweaver platform or alternatively, I can use business workflow module under R/3 system?
Sorry for many questions asked. I am new to those products. I am now working on software selection for workflow technology. My company is going to implement new workflow to client. Thank you very much.
Cheers,

Please ask only one (or closely related) questions per thread. This makes it a lot easier to get a good structure in the database of previously answered questions. While we are on the subject of previously answered questions, I think you should have a look at them....
My suggestion is therefore:
1. Close this thread
2. Read the Frequently Answered Questions. Before you ask (here are many workflow answers)
3. Search the forum.
4. Create new threads if you have questions afterwards.

WorkFlow and Air Crashed Windows 7

Well installed Worksflow at work on an XP machine and I like it. So when I got home I installed it on a fresh install of Windows 7 via Firefox and it killed the user. I got a opaque white cover over all 3 of my LCD's. Did a hard re-boot and booted as normal to the login but after logining in the screen goers blue with an error msg. I can boot into safe mode fine. So some drive is either corrupt or it hashed my video drivers. I created a new user and it acts the same.
I tried to un-install WorkFlow and it give me an error saying that it is corrupt.
Any ideas?
theDogger

Well found the solution....It actually was Symantec Enterprise Ainti-Virus that was corrupted. Not sure how but after a re-install it is fine now. But now I have new issue. My PS4 is crashing. If I open PS4 and do nothing in under a minute it closes. Then looking at the error long in the admin cousel it show a ntdll.dll error. Looked on line and could not find anything in direct relation to this error. I dunped pref's...un-installed and re-installed but same issue. I do not even have a printer installed like some of the posts suggest. So I backup and dumped the entire machine and started from scratch again.
