Hi,

Does anybody know Sales-> lead-> status field is PSM enable or ot? If not, when will it be PSM enable?

Thanks

Since our initial launch of Intelligent Services at SuccessConnect almost a year ago, we’ve released over 35 events, seen over 200 customers enable Intelligent Services in production, and collaborated with several SAP cloud teams to deliver Intelligent Services across SAP applications.

In the 1605 release, we’re excited to announce 4 new events that we’ve released across the SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite:

• Initiate Performance Form
• Launch Performance Management Form after Job Change
• Global Assignment End
• Learning Completed

In addition to releasing new events, we’ve been innovating with our customers and partners more closely than ever. Here are some of the things we’ve done since the 1602 release:

• We hosted our first series of webinars for partners and customers to learn more about how they can use Intelligent Services to co-innovate with their customers.
• We also launched the new SAP SuccessFactors Community for Intelligent Services

If that’s not enough information, you can catch me at SAPPHIRENOW. I will be conducting 2 x 20 minutes sessions on how customers can use Intelligent Services to deliver real-time notifications and updates beyond the SuccessFactors HCM suite, to improve their own business processes.

We have an existing BW 7.31 on HANA and planning a BI 4.1 deployment on top of that using BICS interface, since we have made a lot of investment in BEX queries already (currently running on Enterprise Portal)

I have a done some reading on SCN/Notes/KB etc. and have a few questions.

Our BOE environment is a shared platform, with various backends. We one trying to get onto it with our BW backend. BI platform is using Enterprise Authentication. So the users login with corporate email address/password on BI

Our SAP BW environment runs with employee ID access

Now,

• If I enable SAP authentication between BI and BW, I will get prompted twice to login. Am I right? once for email to login to BI and once for employee ID access into BW
• From what I had read, this can be avoided by establishing a certificate trust using STS and performing an ‘SAML’ mapping between the BI employee IDs and BW employee IDs. And this needs to be done for each individual user.
  • But we have more than to 7500 users; we need to map existing users
  • Map new users as they get created

How do we accomplish this? Are there recommended ways to automate these processes?

Please let me know if you need additional detail.

Hi,

I have a scenario where Planning Book contains initial value for some key figures.We take back up of the Planning Area data into a Cube.

Thing is when the data gets loaded into the cube, the initial values become "0" .

If we restore the data from the cube, the original initial values can't be restored and need to make each cell to blank manually.

How to overcome this. Is there any way that we can restore the  blank values also?

Thanks in advance....

Hello,

I´m facing an error during the LMDB configuration in particulary during the system creation in the Technical Systems option. In the step "Destinations" where we setup all the RFC´s between Solution Manager and the managed system (in this specific case the DEV system - ERP development system). In the RFC creation screen it show me the following error:

Error during connection to system DEV / 110: Error when opening an RFC connection (CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPOCMINIT' : cmRc=20 thRc=497

Unable to determine host address: ).

The user an the password are right, the user is not locked in the managed system (DEV).

I can ping both servers from each server

I put the IP and hostname in the hosts file of each server and also the sapms<SID> 3600/tcp entries in each services file

Example:

sapmsDEV 3600/tcp # SAP System Message Server Port

Even so... it didn´t solve my problem. It still show me the same error during the RFC creation.

Can you help me to solve this situation please?

Thank you,

Dear Friends,

I'm trying to upload 'Fixed Asset' Master data for a client. Basically I'm new to 'Fixed Asset', so please

help me out.

I have following Excel datasheet which I want to upload in the DTW template provided.

My basic questions are:

1. There are multiple assets with same name; do I need to create a separate asset master for each items or consolidate into one Asset Master?
2. There are different depreciation % for each items; do I need to create different depreciation types?
3. Please explain where the data in the columns “Assets Category”, "Depreciation Method", "Useful Life of Asset", "Remaining Useful Life", "Depreciation Rate", " WDV As on 01.04.2015" should go in DTW template?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

   We are migrating to an S4 platform and see that VBBE will be the way forward for ATP. VBBS will not be used. How will that make ATP checking better? Also will this speed up the V_V2 program performance and can we run that multiple times a day without performance issues and in quick time ?

Thanks

Community Hello good day , you have to enter "Customer Account Monitor" from the SDK but has not been found so far.
Someone know where I can find him?
Thanks in advance .

This was an ASUG webcast given by SAP yesterday

As always things in the future are subject to change

Source: SAP

Figure 1: Source: SAP

Figure 1 shows what is new in Analysis Office 2.3

There is a new Table design rule editor

Enhancements for BW – Report to Report Interface framework, with Analysis Office as a receiver so you can jump from Design Studio to Analysis Office.

Dynamic RRI targets are enabled.

API enhancements include save data back to planning backend

Cancel log running queries

Full dpi support – size of characters

Logoff button to logoff system, particularly for testing reasons

Additional refresh mode – to include new master data in refresh

You can upload a list of filter values from a file

Figure 2: Source: SAP

Table Design Rule editor – there is a new tab for the rules and you can filter and edit some of them.

Figure 3: Source: SAP

For only BW 7.50 SP4 due in July, you can create restricted measures in the client.

You can define a measure and a filter condition in the dialog

Figure 4: Source: SAP

You can cancel long-running queries; 5 seconds is the default

You will get a pop-up to cancel the query

Figure 5: Source: SAP

You can logoff from the components tab

It is hidden as SAP considers it a more of a technical button

You can also replace a system here (last entry)

Figure 6: Source: SAP

The roadmap will be updated after 2.3 is GA

2.3 features are shown in the middle column of Figure 6

Plans for the future- create restricted measures in an easier way; possibly combine queries and create butterfly reports

Also looking to do things around grouping – personal grouping

Sheet protection is being worked on for the Q4 release

Also working on commentary framework with cell-level comments

Question & Answer

Q: Contains a Plug-In for EXCEL & POWER POINT. An Date/Roadmap when we wil be able to embed into WORD documents..? Timeline to move all former BOBJ LIVE OFFICE functions into Analysis Office..?

A: See current slide -to be fixed in later release

Q: Just curious why is LiveOffice not listed?

A: That is part of future convergence - today's webcast covers 2.3, the next release.

Q: We do not use BPC, to use 2.3 do we need to be on BW7.4 SP15 or BW7.5 SP4? Or will it work on our current 7.3 version?

A: It should work on current 7.3 version. The Version listed was for embedded - so if you are not planning it is not required

Q: What does "Upload list of filter values" mean?

A: Upload from a text file to a filter

Q: If you upgrade to A4O 2.3 on the destop, should you also upgrade the A4O BIP server add-on to version 2.3? What versions of BIP does the A4O BIP server on-add support (for example, is BIP 4.1 SP6 compatiable with the A4O 2.3 BIP add-on)?

A: Minimum BI4.1 SP5 or 6 - not sure

Q: Have you seen issues of using the plug-ins with Excel 2013?

A: issues should be shared with SAP Support.

Q: Upgrading users to most recent version of Analysis for office require someone typically user with admin rights doing installation, executing .exe files. I am wondering if new version of Analysis Office offer automatic upgrade options to most current vers

A: No, not yet

Q: Do the plug-ins support SSO kerberos authentication?

A: yes, couple of SSO protocol - depends on what asking - from BI to HANA - no, only SAML

Q: We are using standard bpc 10.1 and analysis for bw. If we upgrade to 2.3, we still have these tool separate or we can use the combined tool

A: No separate installation

Q: does 2.3 is going to support office 365 or 2016?

A: supported in 2.2 latest SP

Q: What is a SAP strategy regarding publishing AO Workbook if we have SAP BW and BO Platform? If it depends on AO licence?

A: not sure of question - scheduling is available on BI platform

Q: Can we use AO for BO Universe?

A: Not yet - use Live Office

ASUG Annual Conference Sessions next week:

Other:

Take the BARC Survey: Take the BARC BI Survey 2016 - Chance to win Amazon Vouchers

I've been working on new boxes for our 4.2 environment.  We chose to go with a new install instead of upgrade in place because:

a) we are growing, and our landscape needs to support the growth, and

b) we are also upgrading to Win Server 2012 R2 from Win Server 2008 at the same time.

We are planning on a clustered 3 tier landscape:

1. Web (Application) Tier

2. CMS (Management) Tier

3. Processing Tier

The web tier will be in the DMZ as this will be a public facing application, with the other two tiers inside the LAN.

Other high level requirements:

-We will be using Design Studio

-We will be using Dashboards

-We will be using Crystal and WebI (but 90% WebI)

-We will be using SQL Server for the CMS Repo, not the SQL Anywhere system

-We would like to use Live Office, so I believe RESTful Web Services will need to be accessed via the public URL.

When I start the install for 4.2, one of the first screens asks you which feature you want to install on the tier (Feature Selection Screen).

I'm looking for advice/best practice for which feature should be installed on which tier to best utilize the resources:

Here are the list of features:

I'm also referencing How to install Design studio add-on in a Distributed Landscape which advises which component to install on which tier, but the information in this post seems to conflict with the information in how-to-install-design-studio-add-on-in-a-distributed-landscape

I'm also referencing the 4.2 SP02 admin guide section 3.1.2 Architecture tiers, (page 36) that talks about the tiers and what the tier should be responsible for.  Unfortunately, the tier descriptions do not do a good job mapping back to the features that are listed during the install.

Web tier

The web tier contains web applications deployed to a Java web application server. Web applications provide BI platform functionality to end users through a web browser. Examples of web applications include the Central Management Console (CMC) administrative web interface and BI launch pad. The web tier also contains Web Services. Web Services provides BI platform functionality to software tools via the web application server, such as session authentication, user privilege management, scheduling, search, administration, reporting, and query management. For example, Live Office is a product that uses Web Services to integrate BI platform reporting into some Microsoft Office products.

 

Management Tier

The management tier (also known as intelligence tier) coordinates and controls all of the components that make up the BI platform. It comprises the Central Management Server (CMS) and the Event Server and associated services. The CMS maintains security and configuration information, directs service requests to servers, manages auditing, and maintains the CMS system database. The Event Server manages file-based events, which occur in a defined storage tier.

 

Processing tier

The processing tier analyzes data, and produces reports and other output types. This is the only tier that accesses the databases that contain report data. This tier comprises the Adaptive Job Server, Connection Server (32- and 64-bit), and processing servers such as the Adaptive Processing Server or Crystal Reports Processing Server.

I believe I have most of the features mapped to the correct tier in our distributed landscape, but I would like feedback from others who have successfully implemented this type of distribution, with our similar requirements (Live Office, RESTful Web Services, Design Studio, Public URL, Web Tier in DMZ and firewalled from other tiers, etc).

Hi,

Is there anyway to import Period and volume discounts (without BP Special prices)? There is no DTW Template for that.I am using 9.0 PL04

Hi,

I would like to ask regarding our inventory posting list balance is not equal to the "in stock" in inventory data in item master data. We usually check the balance in inventory posting list with the inventory data (item master data).

I would like to know where to check this inconsistency of balance compare to the in stock.

Please advise and thanks for the help.

Cheers.

Plesae help me to find out solution............................

So far we have covered the fact that we need a build script for our wondrous JavaScript / ECMAScript / SAPUI5 / OpenUI5 code.

Now we are going to get into the nuts and bolts of building that script.

Installation

Step 1. Install - Grunt our task horse.

But you need to do step zero

Step 0. Install nodejs.

These steps are as simple as 3.14 so head over to https://nodejs.org/ and click on the big green button.

You will get offered the software appropriate for your operating system. (clever huh)

Once you have node you should be able type on the command line / terminal / powershell :

node -v

and get something sensible.

Now we can do step 1. Install grunt

npm install -g grunt-cli

You may have to sudo that

Now you are laughing...

Creating the build project

Lets start with a directory with a really short path. Node dependencies have a reputation of creating really long paths so start short and you will have room to grow. I am going with /var/www/build but you might like c:\build or even ~/build or something to get you going

mkdir build

cd build

Once I have my build directory I am going to check out my project or projects from source control under this directory. The reason I didn't put it anywhere else is that npm dependencies often create long path names under the node_modules directory and it easier. It does mean and an additional step but there can be a grunt task for that.

In one of your ui5 projects you have checked out you will need a project.json and a Gruntfile.js

You can copy project.json from the grunt getting started page or use npm init to create one or a bit or both.

A simple package.json

{  "name": "my-project-name",  "version": "0.1.0",  "devDependencies": {  "grunt": "~0.4.5",  "grunt-contrib-uglify": "~0.5.0"  }
}

Now do an npm install to install all the dependencies in the project.json

OK ... now that that is done a Gruntfile.js

Again you can grab a template from the grunt getting started page.

module.exports = function(grunt) {  // Project configuration.  grunt.initConfig({  pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),  uglify: {  options: {  banner: '/*! <%= pkg.name %> <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd") %> */\n'  },  build: {
src:  './**/*.js',dest: 'build/WebContent/' ,  }  }  });  // Load the plugin that provides the "uglify" task.  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');  // Default task(s).  grunt.registerTask('default', ['uglify']);
};

Note that you will need to create a build directory for the content to go in. Once we get the hang of this we can use grunt to create directories and clean them up.

With that in place you now should be able to grunt to your hearts content.

Run the command grunt command on the command line and you will get something like this:

Running "uglify" (uglify) task
File build/WebContent/Component.js created: 3.53 kB → 2.13 kB
File build/WebContent/MyRouter.js created: 2.41 kB → 1.15 kB
File build/WebContent/model/Config.js created: 518 B → 343 B

The basic task process

When you type the command grunt on the command line it runs the default task in the Gruntfile. In our case this is the uglify task. When we ran grunt it failed because there was no source to minify.

I will leave it to you to play around with that if you like. When you are ready we will move on.

The basic workflow for building up our gruntfile is:

1. Search for the module on npm that solves the task you want to acheive. ( There is a grunt task for that. )
2. Install it with npm install <module> --save-dev This also adds the line to the package.json
3. Insert the config in the gruntfile
4. Load the task in the gruntfile with grunt.loadNpmTasks(
5. Register the task in the gruntfile wiith  grunt.registerTask   
6. Run grunt
   

A twist in the tale

This is all fantastic and I hope you are getting the hang of it but before we cover too much more ground I want to introduce a grunt task that will help a lot.

Most of our projects, if not all, have the same requirements. Minify, create dbg etc so it would be a little redundant if we had to create a gruntfile in each of our projects. We could copy and paste or clone but what if there is a new task we want to add to the work flow do we need to go and edit every grunt file in every project? That sound like a maintenance nightmare.

Enter grunt-source with great fanfare.

Grunt-source solves this very issue.

With it we can define our gruntfile once in another folder as we have done in this blog. I chose _build so it would sort to the top of all projects. In all our other projects include a grunt-source.json or a gruntsource element in our package.json with custom parameters for that project and we are done. I chose to add a gruntSource element in in my project.json file:

{    "version": "0.0.23",    "gruntSource": {        "source": "../_build",        "nsPrefix": "myui5/namespace",        "appname": "My AppName",        "zipfile": "myzipfilename.zip",        "ui5app" : "Z_MY_APP_NAME_IN_SE80"    }
}

The key element in the gruntSource section is the source directive that tells grunt where to find the task and config to run. All the other elements are parts of the fun we discover in my next blog in this series when we string a whole bunch of tasks together.

I received this error message today when I was uploading a journal entry voucher from Excel.  I am using Excel 2016.

Everything appears to be OK, but this message is at the top of the entry.

Hello all,

Following our discussion with Gerhard Steinhuber on the very nice tutorial from Horst Schaude , "How to upload mass data via XML File Input" , I am starting this new discussion.

In the comments section of this previous cited tutorial, Rufat Gadirov explains how to use a generated XML from Eclipse instead of your XSD file as your source in Excel.

However, in spite of all the instructions, I am still facing the same issue in Excel when I try to save my file as XML : "The XML maps in this workbook are not exportable".

What I try to do is to create one or more Sales Orders with multiple Items in it from a XML File Input, using excel to enter data.

The part with the File input is working (if I directly upload my file to the webDAV, it creates a sales order instance with multiple items).

The only missing part is the Excel data input that I cannot make work. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my XML file that I try to use as a source in Excel before inputing data from Excel:

Hello guys.

I have a problem of integration with BPC (BW 7.4) and ECC (Release 740) FM module.

When we run the (FMCYCOPI_BW) transaction does not load the planning that was done in the BPC and presents the alert message

FMCY102 - Transferred data does not match input parameters fiscal year 2016.

In SAP ECC we made the setting (BW-FM-BCS Retractor Setting "SM34, VC_TBPBWRET_BCS") as the query that the PBOC advisor passed, but still keeps giving error.

Someone could send me a hand here or help me with some information?

Any help is welcome.

Attached is the details of what we are running.

Thank you in advance.

Jovenes alguien me puede ayudar con algun manual de Transaction Notification, se los agradeceria bastante. O que me pudieran ayudar para poder realizar un bloqueo, en SAP Business One.

De antemano muy agradecido por la ayuda.
