Orientations in SAPSCRIPT -----Original Message----Subject: Orientations in SAPSCRIPT From: Ashwini Jaokar Hi, I have 2 pages for a Form in SAPscript . Can I have 2 different Orientations for 2 pages Ie Can I assign Page1 as Portrait & page2 as Landscape ??? If so , How ????

Thanks in Advance. Ashwini Jaokar. -----Reply Message----Subject: Re: Orientations in SAPSCRIPT From: jmersinger Ashwini, Not that I know of in the same layoutset...what you can do is create two layoutsets...one portrait, one landscape...then in the print program call each one individually. jjm -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: Orientations in SAPSCRIPT From: Ralph Klassen Each form may only have a single orientation but you can create two forms and include them in the same spool output. In your ABAP program: 1. call function 'OPEN_FORM', don't a value in 'FORM' 2. call function 'START_FORM', include parameter 'FORM' ing the name of your first form 3. call function 'WRITE_FORM' as normal to output each element 4. call function 'END_FORM' 5. call function 'START_FORM', include parameter 'FORM' ing the name of your second form 6. call function 'WRITE_FORM' as normal to output each element 7. call function 'END_FORM' 8. call function 'CLOSE_FORM' Repeat the 'START_FORM' ... 'END_FORM' sequence as required. I have not tried using page numbers with this technique, I suspect that each form will

restart at 1. Regards, Ralph Klassen Sylogist -----End of Reply Message----Best regards, SAP Basis, ABAP Programming and Other IMG Stuff http://www.sap-img.com

SAPscripts How to calculate Totals and Subtotals I have some doubs in BDC and SMART FORMS. I want to change the material number using the transaction code MM02 through BDC. In scripts and smartforms how to calculate totals and subtotals? To calculate totals and sub totals in sap scripts you have to use subroutines. Say if you have to add the unit price (KOMVD-KBERT) then in the main window whereever tat value is picked write this routine /: DEFINE &TOT_PRICE& /: PERFORM F_GET_PRICE IN PROGRAM <subroutine prog name> /:USING &KOMVD-KBERT& /:CHANGING &TOT_PRICE& /:ENDPERFORM Then write the variable where ever you want it to be printed (mostly it will be in footer window) Then create subroutine pool program and you have to write the code. FORM F_GET_PRICE tables int_cond structure itcsy outt_cond structure itcsy. data : value type kbert. statics value1 type kbert. Read int_cond table index 1. value = int_cond-value. value1 = value1 + value. Read outt_cond table index 1. outt_cond-value = value1. Modify outt_cond index 1. ENDFORM.

I have given a rough outline, please be aware of the variable conversions as Int_condvalue and outt_cond-value are characters. SAPscripts Tips by: Raj

Picture doesn't show in Print Preview You have ed the picture as .TIF in Sap using ABAP RSTXLDMC and have also add the statement /: INCLUDE ZHEX-SAMPLE-PICTURE OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN in your SapScript but the problem is that in print preview it's not displaying the picture. It is normal that the picture doesn't show in print preview and you will be able to see the object only after printing.

Don't let this bother you as long as the picture is shown on the hardcopy printout. Best regards, SAP Basis, ABAP Programming and Other IMG Stuff http://www.sap-img.com


Delete Load program for SAPScript Occassionally, when you make frequent changes to your SAPScript, the system can get out of sync.

Details information about SAP Barcodes A barcode solution consists of the following: - a barcode printer - a barcode reader - a mobile data collection application/program A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number in machine readable format. There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers and which SAP natively in it's printing protocols. You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.

Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool. Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the ed barcode symbologies. The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to that protocol and that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes. Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this: - You can have your IT department do some research most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to the printing of barcodes. - Secondly, you can buy software that you can in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to barcodes. Now you have a barcode printed - what next? Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements: - You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process. - Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor. These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.

SapScript Question 1) How do you backup script layout sets? 2) What type of variables normally used in script to o/p data? 3) How do you use tabsets in layouts? 1) Use this Std program RSTXSCRP. 1) First Export to Presentation file(.doc). 2) Whenever you need that Export into SAP. 2) Normally we call them as Program symbols. Those are defined in Driver program. We can use in Script as for exp. &itab-matnr& Other variables ---System symbols : ex &page& ---Std symbols : ---Text symbols :We define them in script editor itself. Ex : /: Define &mysymbol& = 'XX' 3) We can control the tab feed in a paragraph with tab positions. The tab stops us define in the paragraph format replace the tab spacing we defined in the header data of the form. However, this depends on the extent to which we have defined tab stops in the paragraph format. If there are fewer tabs in the paragraph formats than in the header data, the tab stops of the header data are used for the rest of the line.

SAPscripts Tips by : Venkat O Q: We get the total number of pages as expected by using 'SAPSCRIPTFORMPAGES' in a duplex layout. In our case duplex case is always ' & Conditions'. We do not want the number of pages as in duplex printing. What is the best possible solution? A: On the & Conditions page, Change the Page counter mode to 'HOLD' to keep the page counter from incrementing when you print the Term & Conditions. Q: Can I Print a logo on an Invoice? A: Save a Logo using Paintshop Pro or Corel Draw as Tiff file. Use RSTXLDMC to convert the logo to standard text in SapScript. When the program is executed, the path and file name have to be correctly specified. Process could be like the following: Run RSTXLDMC Enter file name C:\MAIL\COMPLOGO.TIF Resolution for Tiff file Absolute X-position Absolute Y-position Absolute positioning Reserved height Shift to right UOM = CM Text title Line width for text = 132 Text name ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO Text ID ST Text language = E Postscript scaling Width & Height according to PS scaling Number of Tiff gray levels (2,4,9) 2 Then Create a new window 'COMP' with attributes; Window COMP description Company Logo Window type CONST Left margin 7.00 CH window width 10.00 CH Upper margin LN window height 8.00 LN Finally in the text element , mention /: INCLUDE 'ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO' OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'E'. Please note that if object name is not indicated as 'ZHEX...', the logo may not be printed!

You will not be able to see the logo in a test print. The same will be printed in actual printout. If you are using two logos in the same layout, the names of the logos should be unique. Say 'ZHEX-MACRO-LOGO1' and 'ZHEX-MACRO-LOGO2'. Else all the information will be overwritten. If the logo is not EXACTLY TIFF 6.0, the same will not be printed. See OSS notes 5995, 18045, 39031 for some inputs. SAPscripts Tips by : Shivanand Patlolla

Open_form => It assign the form and printer, It should be first. Start_form => It start Writing mode. You can use write_form in loop to write more than one lines befor End_form. End_form => It end writing mode of current page and will require to start again through Start_form. Close_form=> it end the Form. After this you can not start again for created file. Rajiv singh.

Introduction to SAP SmartForms What is SAP Smart Forms? SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms. SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power without any programming knowledge can configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes. To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program es the data via a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the

Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At runtime, the system processes this function module. You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals, and sorting data before output. You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed. SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can suppress the background graphic, if desired. SAP Smart Forms also postage optimizing. Also read SAP Note No. 168368 - Smart Forms: New form tool in Release 4.6C What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms? Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms. Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms: SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time. You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure (tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for graphics. To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes. These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language. Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one. For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form. Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF es form content from R/3 to an external product without ing any layout information about the Smart Form.

Advantages of SAP Smart Forms SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages: 1. The adaption of forms is ed to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases. 2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts) 3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned. 4. Colored output of texts 5. -friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms 6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables 7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles) 8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF) 9. Form translation is ed by standard translation tools 10. Flexible reuse of text modules

11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10) 12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10) Best regards, SAP Basis, ABAP Programming and Other IMG Stuff http://www.sap-img.com

A Simple Smartform Tutorial SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output). According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions). 1. Create a new smartforms Transaction code SMARTFORMS Create new smartforms call ZSMART

2.

Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71) The Following are the differences :a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window . c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms. d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool. e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated. Contributed by : SAP ABAP/4 Programming, Basis istration, Configuration Hints and Tips

f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot / Smartform to your local harddisk. It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment. In R3 also, you can into XML format. However, it's not sure about ing. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'. In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk. For others, if you want to / the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the

Basis team, will tp it into your system. g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.

FAQ on Migrating SAPscript to SmartForms Is it possible to migrate a SAPscript form to a Smart Form? Smart Forms provides a migration tool for this purpose which migrates layout and texts of a SAPscript form to a Smart Form. It does not migrate SAPscript form logic of the print program. Using Smart Forms, this logic is described by the tree structure of the Form Builder. The effort involved in migrating it depends on the complexity of the print program. Which Basis Release do I need to use SAP Smart Forms? SAP Smart Forms is available as of R/3 Basis Release 4.6C. I have heard that Smart Forms replaces SAPscript. What does "replace" mean? It does not mean that SAPscript is removed from the Basis shipment. Even as of Basis Release 4.6C, SAPscript remains part of the SAP standard and there are no plans to remove it. Since Smart Forms is currently, and will continue to be, the tool for form maintenance for mySAP.com solutions, our further development efforts will focus on Smart Forms, not on SAPscript.

Do we have to migrate all SAPscript forms to Smart Forms? There is no point in migrating all SAPscript forms already in use. Since SAPscript can still be used and will be available in the future, there is no need to. If you plan to migrate a SAPscript form, it is recommended that you check whether benefit is worth the effort involved.

Conversion of SAPSCRIPT to SMARTFORMS SAP provides a conversion for SAPscript documents to SMARTforms. This is basically a function module, called FB_MIGRATE_FORM. You can start this function module by hand (via SE37), or create a small ABAP which migrates all SAPscript forms automatically. You can also do this one-by-one in transaction SMARTFORMS, under Utilities -> Migrate SAPscript form. You could also write a small batch program calling transaction SMARTFORMS and running the migration tool.

SmartForms System Fields Within a form you can use the field string SFSY with its system fields. During form processing the system replaces these fields with the corresponding values. The field values come from the SAP System or are results of the processing. System fields of Smart Forms &SFSY-DATE& Displays the date. You determine the display format in the master record. &SFSY-TIME& Displays the time of day in the form HH:MM:SS. &SFSY-PAGE& Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node. &SFSY-FORMPAGES& Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output. &SFSY-JOBPAGES& Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request. &SFSY-WINDOWNAME& Contains the name of the current window (string in the Window field) &SFSY-PAGENAME& Contains the name of the current page (string in the Page field) &SFSY-PAGEBREAK& Is set to 'X' after a page break (either automatic [Page 7] or command-controlled [Page 46]) &SFSY-MAINEND& Is set as soon as processing of the main window on the current page ends

&SFSY-EXCEPTION& Contains the name of the raised exception. You must trigger your own exceptions, which you defined in the form interface, using the _exception macro (syntax: _exception <exception name >).

Smart forms Frequently Asked Questions Forcing a page break within table loop Create a loop around the table. Put a Command node before the table in the loop that

forces a NEWPAGE on whatever condition you want. Then only loop through a subset of the internal table (based on the conditions in the Command node) of the elements in the Table node. Font style and Font size Goto Transaction SMARTSTYLES. There you can create Paragraph formats etc just like in sapscript. Then in your window under OUTPUT OPTIONS you include this SMARTSTYLE and use the Paragraph and character formats. Line in Smartform Either you can use a window that takes up the width of your page and only has a height of 1 mm. Then you put a frame around it (in window output options). Thus you have drawn a box but it looks like a line. Or you can just draw "__" accross the page and play with the fonts so that it s each UNDER_SCORE. Difference between 'forminterface' and 'global definitions' in global settings of smart forms The Difference is as follows. To put it very simply: Form Interface is where you declare what must be ed in and out of the smartform (in from the print program to the smartform and out from the smartform to the print program). Global defs. is where you declare data to be used within the smartform on a global scope. ie: anything you declare here can be used in any other node in the form. Smartforms function module name Once you have activated the smartform, go to the environment -> function module name. There you can get the name of funtion module name. The key thing is the program that calls it. for instance, the invoice SMARTFORM LB_BIL_INVOICE is ran by the program RLB_INVOICE.

This program uses another FM to determine the name of the FM to use itself. The key thing is that when it calls this FM (using a variable to store the actual name), that the parameters match the paramters in your smartform. Another thing to note is that the FM name will change wherever the SF is transported to. So you need to use the FM to determine the name of the SF. Here is the code that can be use to determine the internal name of the function module: Code: if sf_label(1) <> '/'. " need to resolve by name move sf_label to externalname. call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' exporting formname = externalname importing fm_name = internalname exceptions no_form =1 no_function_module = 2 others = 3. if sy-subrc <> 0. message 'e427'. endif. move internalname to sf_label. endif. It checks to see if the sf_label starts with a '/', which is how the internal names start. if it does, the name has already been converted. If not, it calls the FM and converts the name. You would then CALL FUNCTION sf_label.

Smartforms FAQ Part Two Smartforms output difference Problem with Smartforms: in a certain form for two differently configured printers, there seem to be a difference in the output of characters per inch (the distance between characters which gives a layout problem - text in two lines instead of one. It happens when the two printers having different Printer Controls' if you go to SPAD Menu (Spool Menu) you can see the difference in the Printer Control and if you make the Printer control setting for both the printers as same. then it will be ok. and also u have to check what is the device type used for both the output devices. SmartForms Output to PDF There is a way to smartform in PDF format. Please do the following: 1. Print the smartform to the spool. 2. Note the spool number. 3. a PDF file (Acrobat Reader) version of the spool by running Program RSTXPDFT4 and entering the noted spool number. SmartForm Doublesided printing question Your customer wants your PO SmartForm to be able to print " and Conditinos" on the back side of each page. They don't want to purchase pre-printed forms with the company's logo on the front and & conditions on the back. Now this presents an interesting problem. Has anyone else ever had a request like this? If for example there was a 3 page PO to be printed, they want 3 pieces of paper, the front side of each to containe the PO information (page 1, 2, and 3) and the back side of each piece of paper to containg the static " & Conditions" information. Anyone have a clue how to force this out? Easy - page FRONT lists page S as next page and S lists FRONT as next page. Since S does not contain a MAIN window, it will print the s info and then continue on to FRONT for the rest of the main items. Additionally, set print mode on FRONT to D (duplex) and set S to 'blank' (for both resource name and print mode - this is the only way to get to the back of the page). Transport Smart Forms

How does one transport SMARTFORM? SE01? How do you make sure that both, the SMARTFORM & it's function module gets transported? Or does the FM with same name gets generated automatically in the transported client? A smartform is transported no differently than any other object. if it is assigned to a development class that is atteched to a transport layer, it will be transported. The definition is transported, and when called, the function module is regenerated. This leads to an interetsing situation. On the new machine, it is very likely the function module name will be different than the name on the source system. Make sure, before you call the function module, you resolve the external name to the internal name using the 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' function module. Typically, generate the SF, then use the pattern to being in the interface. Then change the call function to use the name you get back from the above function module. Smartforms: protect lines in main window. How to protect lines in the main window from splitting between pages? It was easy with SAPscript, but how to do it with SF's. For 4.7 version if you are using tables, there are two options for protection against line break: - You can protect a line type against page break. - You can protect several table lines against page break for output in the main area. Protection against page break for line types - Double-click on your table node and choose the Table tab page. - Switch to the detail view by choosing the Details pushbutton. - Set the Protection against page break checkbox in the table for the relevant line type. Table lines that use this line type are output on one page. Protection against page break for several table lines - Expand the main area of your table node in the navigation tree. - Insert a file node for the table lines to be protected in the main area. - If you have already created table lines in the main area, you can put the lines that you want to protect again page break under the file using Drag&Drop. Otherwise, create the table lines as subnodes of the file. - Choose the Output Options tab page of the file node and set the Page Protection option. All table lines that are in the file with the Page Protection option set are output on one page. In 4.6, Alternatively in a paragraph format use the Page protection attribute to determine whether or not to display a paragraph completely on one page. Mark it if you want to avoid that a paragraph is split up by a page break. If on the current page (only in the main window) there is not enough space left for the paragraph, the entire paragraph appears on the next page.


Display a contents of a table on SmartForm with LOOP There's a DDIC Table called "Ugyfel" containing 5 rows. I'd like simply to display all the rows on a SF's Main window. Please follow this process to display the value from your table "Ugyfel" 1. Go with a transaction code : smartforms 2. Enter the form name like : ysmart_forms1 3. Create 4.

Find the list of SAP Transaction codes Where I can find the list of transaction codes and their usage, I heard that there is some table which contains all the transaction codes with their descriptions.

Listed here are the various ways you can find the list of transaction codes and their usage: Use transaction SE11 - ABAP Dictionary: Fill in the Database table name and click the Display button. - TSTC table will contain all the Tcodes and - TSTCT table will contain all the Tcodes with Texts. Once you entered the screen, click in Top Menu - Utilities - Table contents - Display If you want to display all the transaction code (total - 57,048) you have to change the Fields: Maximum number of hits to 99999 (default 500). or Simply goto transaction SM01, although this tcode is to Lock/Unlock any transaction code, you can also view all the tcode available in the R/3 system from here. or Goto transaction SE93 There are two ways where you can find the list of transaction codes in SE93. Method 1: You must be familiar with the starting characters strings for each of the R/3 application modules. Assuming you know that most Materials Management transaction codes start with MM. In the Fields: Transaction code, type in MM* and press the function key F4 The list of transaction code starting with MM will be displayed. Method 2: On the Top Menu, click Utilities - Find - Execute and the first 500 transaction will be display. If want to display all the tcodes, make sure you ed to change the Fields: Maximum no. of hits right at the bottom of the screen.

How to get the field descriptions of a table? I need to get the associated data element descriptions of all the fields in a table. I think there's a way to do that using the SELECT statement. Can you please give me in detail, the various steps and methods to find the corresponding SAP tables and fields for a particular transaction code, for example (CS03). Do the following 2 steps. Then create your ABAP program accordingly with the SELECT statement. 1. From table DD03L, give your tablename and get all of its field names and corresponding data element names. 2. From table DD03T, get the description of each data element you have got in step 1. Then Use Function Module DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET The sample program will look like this: REPORT ZTABLEFIELDNAME. TABLES: DFIES, X030L. DATA: BEGIN OF INTTAB OCCURS 100. INCLUDE STRUCTURE DFIES. DATA: END OF INTTAB. PARAMETERS: TABLENM TYPE DDOBJNAME DEFAULT 'MSEG', FIELDNM TYPE DFIES-FIELDNAME DEFAULT 'MENGE'. call function 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET' exporting tabname = TABLENM FIELDNAME = FIELDNM

* * * * * * * *

LANGU LFIELDNAME ALL_TYPES IMPORTING X030L_WA DDOBJTYPE DFIES_WA LINES_DESCR TABLES DFIES_TAB FIXED_VALUES EXCEPTIONS NOT_FOUND INTERNAL_ERROR OTHERS

= SY-LANGU = ' ' = ' ' = WATAB = = = = INTTAB = = 1 = 2 = 3.

if sy-subrc <> 0. WRITE:/ 'Field name not found'. endif. LOOP AT INTTAB. WRITE:/ INTTAB-TABNAME, INTTAB-FIELDNAME, INTTAB-FIELDTEXT. ENDLOOP. *** End of Program

OR Step 1. Run the transaction and click on System -> Status. Note the program name shown under the transaction code. Step 2. Run SE49 and enter the program name you identified in step 1 (SAPLCSDI) and then press enter. This will identify the tables used, however, as you want to know the fields used as well then you may have to resort to looking at the actual code (get a developer involved if you're not one) using transaction SE80. In this case the transaction CS03 is assigned to a screen with a function group so it's a slightly tricker process, hence the need for a developers service. For all the tables, descriptions and fields you can refer to these tables: DD02L : ALL SAP TABLE NAMES DD02T : DESCRIPTION OF TABLE NAMES DD03L : FIELDS IN A TABLE.

Basic Knowledge and System Navigation Question How to close a window? If we want to stop a transaction in the middle, Right click on the end button (X) on the top right corner of the window. Then select "stop transaction". As we dont have STOP icon as we have in WINDOWS, this will help in the same way. Its a very small tip, but will help a lot. With Compliment by: Bhaskar

Name two ways to start a transaction. - Dynamic Menu - Command Field Why do you create -specific parameters? They supply defaults to R/3 fields. If a field is indicated, the system automatically fills in default value. Depending on the field definition, the entry can also be replaced with a value entered by the . (Concept of PARAMETER ID) Name the three different kinds of messages in the R/3 system. What is the difference between them? A message can have five different types. These message types have the following effects during list processing: A (=Abend): The system displays a message of this message type in a dialog window. After the confirms the message using ENTER, the system terminates the entire transaction (for example SE38). E (=Error) or W (=Warning): The system displays a message of this message type in the status line. After the chooses ENTER, the system acts as follows: While creating the basic list, the system terminates the report. While creating a secondary list, the system terminates the corresponding processing block and keeps displaying the previous list level. I (=Information): The system displays a message of this message type in a dialog window. After the chooses ENTER , the system resumes processing at the current program position. S (=Success): The system displays a message of this message type on the output screen in the status line of the currently created list. What is a data dictionary or repository? Central catalog that contains the descriptions of an organization's data and provides information about the relationships between the data and its use in programs and screens. The data descriptions in a Data Dictionary is also called metadata, i.e., data that describes other data. The ABAP/4 Dictionary stores system-wide data definitions. When you create a new data definition, the Dictionary tool does all the processing necessary to create the definition. You can use the Dictionary tool to look up the "definition" of objects in your R/3 System. What is a matchcode? Comparsion key. A matchcode allows you to locate the key of a particular database

record (e.g. number) by entering any field value contained in the record. The system then displays a list of records matching the specifications. If you want an end to see a specific menu after logging on the R/3 system, how could you do that? maintenance transactions allow the system to create and maintain master records. This includes the generation and assignment of authorizations and authorization profiles.

SAP BW FAQ BW Query Performance Question: 1. What kind of tools are available to monitor the overall Query Performance? Answers: o BW Statistics o BW Workload Analysis in ST03N (Use Export Mode!) o Content of Table RSDDSTAT Question: 2. Do I have to do something to enable such tools? Answer: o Yes, you need to turn on the BW Statistics: RSA1, choose Tools -> BW statistics for InfoCubes (Choose OLAP and WHM for your relevant Cubes) Question: 3. What kind of tools are available to analyse a specific query in detail? Answers: o Transaction RSRT o Transaction RSRTRACE Question: 4. Do I have a overall query performance problem? Answers: o Use ST03N -> BW System load values to recognize the problem. Use the number given in table 'Reporting - InfoCubes:Share of total time (s)' to check if one of the columns %OLAP, %DB, %Frontend shows a high number in all InfoCubes.

o You need to run ST03N in expert mode to get these values Question: 5. What can I do if the database proportion is high for all queries? Answers: Check: o If the database statistic strategy is set up properly for your DB platform (above all for the BW specific tables) o If database parameter set up accords with SAP Notes and SAP Services (EarlyWatch) o If Buffers, I/O, U, memory on the database server are exhausted? o If Cube compression is used regularly o If Database partitioning is used (not available on all DB platforms) Question: 6. What can I do if the OLAP proportion is high for all queries? Answers: Check: o If the Us on the application server are exhausted o If the SAP R/3 memory set up is done properly (use TX ST02 to find bottlenecks) o If the read mode of the queries is unfavourable (RSRREPDIR, RSDDSTAT, Customizing default) Question: 7. What can I do if the client proportion is high for all queries? Answer: o Check whether most of your clients are connected via a WAN Connection and the amount of data which is transferred is rather high. Question: 8. Where can I get specific runtime information for one query? Answers: o Again you can use ST03N -> BW System Load o Depending on the time frame you select, you get historical data or current data. o To get to a specific query you need to drill down using the InfoCube name o Use Aggregation Query to get more runtime information about a single query. Use tab All data to get to the details. (DB, OLAP, and Frontend time, plus Select/ Transferred records,

plus number of cells and formats) Question: 9. What kind of query performance problems can I recognize using ST03N values for a specific query? Answers: (Use Details to get the runtime segments) o High Database Runtime o High OLAP Runtime o High Frontend Runtime Question: 10. What can I do if a query has a high database runtime? Answers: o Check if an aggregate is suitable (use All data to get values "selected records to transferred records", a high number here would be an indicator for query performance improvement using an aggregate) o Check if database statistics are update to data for the Cube/Aggregate, use TX RSRV output (use database check for statistics and indexes) o Check if the read mode of the query is unfavourable - Recommended (H) Question: 11. What can I do if a query has a high OLAP runtime? Answers: o Check if a high number of Cells transferred to the OLAP (use "All data" to get value "No. of Cells") o Use RSRT technical Information to check if any extra OLAP-processing is necessary (Stock Query, Exception Aggregation, Calc. before Aggregation, Virtual Char. Key Figures, Attributes in Calculated Key Figs, Time-dependent Currency Translation) together with a high number of records transferred. o Check if a exit Usage is involved in the OLAP runtime? o Check if large hierarchies are used and the entry hierarchy level is as deep as possible. This limits the levels of the hierarchy that must be processed. Use SE16 on the inclusion tables and use the List of Value feature on the column successor and predecessor to see which entry level of the hierarchy is used. - Check if a proper index on the inclusion table exist Question:

12. What can I do if a query has a high frontend runtime? Answers: o Check if a very high number of cells and formattings are transferred to the Frontend ( use "All data" to get value "No. of Cells") which cause high network and frontend (processing) runtime. o Check if frontend PC are within the recommendation (RAM, U Mhz) o Check if the bandwidth for WAN connection is sufficient Best regards, SAP Basis, ABAP Programming and Other IMG Stuff http://www.sap-img.com

The Three Layers of SAP BW SAP BW has three layers: 

Business Explorer: As the top layer in the SAP BW architecture, the Business

Explorer (BEx) serves as the reporting environment (presentation and analysis) for end s. It consists of the BEx Analyzer, BEx Browser, BEx Web, and BEx Map for analysis and reporting activities. 

Business Information Warehouse Server: The SAP BW server, as the middle layer, has two primary roles: • Data warehouse management and istration: These tasks are handled by the production data extractor (a set of programs for the extraction of data from R/3 OLTP applications such as logistics, and controlling), the staging engine, and the Workbench. • Data storage and representation: These tasks are handled by the InfoCubes in conjunction with the data manager, Metadata repository, and Operational Data Store (ODS).



Source Systems: The source systems, as the bottom layer, serve as the data sources for raw business data. SAP BW s various data sources: • R/3 Systems as of Release 3.1H (with Business Content) and R/3 Systems prior to Release 3.1H (SAP BW regards them as external systems) • Non-SAP systems or external systems • mySAP.com components (such as mySAP SCM, mySAP SEM, mySAP CRM, or R/3 components) or another SAP BW system.

SAP Data Warehouse -----Original Message----Subject: Data Warehouse We have large amounts of historical sales data stored on our legacy system (i.e. multiple files with 1 million+ records). Today the s use custom written programs and the Focus query tool to generate sales'ish type of reports. We are wanting that existing legacy system to go away and need to find a home for the data and the functionality to access and report on that data. What options does SAP afford for data warehousing? How does it affect the response of the SAP database server? We are thinking of moving the data onto a scaleable NT server with

large amounts of disk (10gb +) and using PC tools to access the data. In this environment, our production SAP machine would perform weekly data transfers to this historical sales reporting system. Has anybody implemented a similar solution or have any ideas on a good attack method to solve this issue? Thanks in advance. -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: Data Warehouse Hi, You may want to look at SAP's Business Information Warehouse. This is their answer to data warehousing. I saw a presentation on this last October at the SAP Technical Education Conference and it looked pretty slick. BIW runs on its own server to relieve the main database from query and report processing. It accepts data from many different types of systems and has a detailed istration piece to determine data source and age. Although the Information System may be around for sometime it sounded like SAP is moving towards the Business Information Warehouse as a reporting solution. -----End of Message----Best regards, SAP Basis, ABAP Programming and Other IMG Stuff http://www.sap-img.com/index.htm


SAP Business Information Warehouse -----Original Message----Subject: Business Information Warehouse Ever heard about apples and oranges. SAP/R3 is an OLTP system where as BIW is an OLAP system. LIS reports can not provide the functionality provided by BIW. -----Reply Message-----

Subject: Business Information Warehouse Hello, The following information is for you to get more clarity on the subject: SAP R/3 LIS (Logistic Information System) consist of infostructures (which are representation of reporting requirements). So whenever any event (goods reciept, invoice reciept etc. ) takes place in SAP R/3 module, if relevant to the infostructure, an corresponding entry is made in the infostructures. Thus infostructures form the database part of the datawarehouse. For reporting the data (based on OLAP features such drill-down, abc, graphics etc.), you can use SAP R/3 standard analysis (or flexible analysis) or Business Warehouse (which is excel based) or Business Objects (which is third party product but can interface with SAP R/3 infostructures using BAPI calls). In short, the infostructures (which are part of SAP R/3 LIS) form the data basis for reporting with BW.

Use of manual security profiles with SAP BW -----Original Message----Subject: Use of manual security profiles with BW? (Business Information Warehouse) Our company is currently on version 3.1H and will be moving to 4.6B late summer 2000. Currently all of our R/3 security profiles were created manually. We are also in the stage of developing and going live with the add-on system of Business Warehouse (BW). For consistency, we have wish to use manual profiles within the BW system and later convert all of our manual security profiles (R/3 and BW) to profile generated ones. Is there anyone else that can shed any light on this situation? (Success

or problems with using manual security profiles with BW?) Any would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, -----Reply Message----Subject: Use of manual security profiles with BW? (Business Information Warehouse) Hi , You are going to have fun doing this upgrade. The 4.6b system is a completely different beast than the 3.1h system. You will probably find a lot of areas where you have to extend you manually created profiles to cover new authorisation objects (but then you can have this at any level). In 4.6b you really have to use the profile generator, but at least there is a utility to allow you to pick up your manually created profile and have it converted to an activity group for you. This will give you a running start in this area, but you will still have a lot of work to do. The fact that you did not use PG at 3.1h will not matter as it changed at 4.5 too and the old activity groups need the same type of conversion (we are going through that bit right now). Hope this helps -----End of Message----Best regards, SAP Basis, ABAP Programming and Other IMG Stuff http://www.sap-img.com/index.htm


Main advantages of BW 3.0 over 2.1C Here's a brief list, without detailed explanations :- XML for reading and writing metadata and data. - Web application designer: graphically design and publish web reports and web applications. - Open Hub Service for distributing data to other tables/systems on a schedule.

It s selection, projection, and aggregation. Integrated into the BW monitor. - Process Chains and graphical scheduler for automating complex processes. s branching, condition testing, etc. Enables you to schedule all functions in a graphical, drag-and-drop fashion, including extracts, index drops and rebuilds, activating data, compressing, rolling up to aggregates, etc. - Transactional ODS objects with read/write API. - Transfer rules for hierarchies. - Subtree insert and subtree update for hierarchies. - Active attributes on hierarchies (sign flip, etc.) - Load, stage, and merge master data to ODS. - DB Connect Service allows BW to extract data from any DBMS ed by SAP R/3. - Formula editor in transfer and update rules to avoid ABAP coding. - Toolbox of standard transformations such as substring, look up data in a table, concatenate, offset and length, arithmetic operations, etc. - Parallel loading into a single ODS object. - Secondary index maintenance for ODS objects built in to BW Workbench. - Multiprovider: Use ODS objects, master data, and cubes in a multicube (now called multiprovider.) - New InfoSet Concept: tabular data together and make it available for reporting. You can ODS objects, master data tables, etc. - Archiving: Built-in tools to archive data on a schedule using selection criteria. Integrated into BW monitor; archived data deleted from InfoCubes and corresponding aggregates. for re-loading data from archives as necessary. - BW Monitor includes all activities of process chains, open hub service, and archiving. - Use multiple hierarchies in a BW query. - Use a mix of hierarchies and characteristics on rows or columns in a BW query. - Use restricted key figures in a calculated key figure. - Generate static, offline web reports. - BEx Cell Editor: In queries with two structures, you can now reference cells at the intersections of rows and columns.

Pros and Cons of Web against BEX

1. Web reporting is faster then Excel, there is less overhead in executing Web reporting as opposed to Excel. (Whitepaper on SAP about this.) 2. There is not anymore work in formatting or creation of templates then in comparison to workbooks. 3. Query creation is the same as in BEX, so there is no new knowledge there. 4. Yes, knowledge of HTML is needed, but if you use the standard CSS templates, you really don't need to know them unless you want to change them. But, if you can write queries or code ABAP, you can definitely learn basic HTML and CSS to customize reporting. Its not that hard. 5. The learning curve for NEW s in Web Reporting vs.. BEX is actually considerably lower. Most people are very familiar with using a web browser, and IMOE I have found they pick up usage of web reporting much quicker then trying to teach them BEX. 6. Note, if you have a large base which is already power Excel/BEx s, then they might be more reluctant to switch, though they would have no problem learning quickly the web reporting. Their downside would be that the behavior is not like Excel, which is a learned behavior, though the functionality is the same. 7. Publishing of queries and reports is done (or can be) via a role template which can be published on the web to provide common access to reports and queries. 8. Your implementation team (or at least one person on there) could be designated to picking up learning creation of web templates. (Its not hard, really.) Depending on organization size you may not need an additional person. 9. Publishing can be as easy a link on an existing intranet, or if you are using Portals already, integration with Portals is straightforward and you should have the knowledge base for doing so w/ your Portals group. 10. Query functionality is EXACTLY THE SAME with BEX and Web reporting, they both use query analyzer. The only difference is in presentation and output. 11. With Web reporting, you have (I think) greater control over presentation (combination of reports, charts, etc...) then w/ BEX. 12. You can provide the ability for "Printer friendly" versions of web reports, you can also provide the ability to easily pull the results into Excel in standard format or CSV format. 13. Finally, I think you have the ability to open up reporting and information consumption to a wider audience then in sticking w/ just BEx. (It definitely has its place in the organization.)

Data load in SAP BW What is the strategy to load for example 500,000 entries in BW (material master, transactional data)? How to separate this entries in small packages and transfer it to BW in automatic? Is there some strategy for that? Is there some configuration for that? See OSS note 411464 (example concerning Info Structures from purchasing documents) to create smaller jobs in order to integrate a large amount of data. For example, if you wish to split your 500,000 entries in five intervals: - Create 5 variants in RMCENEAU for each interval - Create 5 jobs (SM36) that execute RMCENEAU for each variant - Schedule your jobs - You can then see the result in RSA3

Loading Data From a Data Target Can you please guide me for carrying out his activity with some important steps? I am having few request with the without data mart status. How can I use only them & create a export datasource? Can you please tell me how my data mechanism will work after the loading? Follow these steps: 1. Select Source data target( in u r case X) , in the context menu click on Create Export Datasources. DataSource ( InfoSource) with name 8(name of datatarget) will be generated. 2. In Modelling menu click on Source Systems, Select the logical Source System of your BW server, in the context menu click on Replicate DataSource.

3. In the DataModelling click on Infosources and search for infosource 8(name of datatarget). If not found in the search refresh it. Still not find then from DataModelling click on Infosources, in right side window again select Infosources, in the context menu click on insert Lost Nodes. Now search you will definately found. 4. No goto Receiving DataTargets ( in your case Y1,Y2,Y3) create update rules. In the next screen select Infocube radio button and enter name of Source Datatarget (in u r case X). click Next screen Button ( Shift F7), here select Addition radio button, then select Source keyfield radio button and map the keyfields form Source cube to target cube. 5. In the DataModelling click on Infosources select infoSource which u replicated earlier and create infopackage to load data.. SAP BW Tips by: Srinivas

Difference in number of data records -----Original Message----Subject: Difference in number of data records Hello, I have ed data from R/3 to BW (Controlling Datasources). The problem is that when i use the extractor checker (rsa3) in R/3 for a specific datasource (0CO_OM_OPA_1) it shows me that there are 1600 records. When i load this datasource in BW it shows me that there are 400.000 records. I'm ing data to "PSA only". Any ideas why this is happening ? Thanks -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: Difference in number of data records Check the 'data recs/call' and 'number of extract calls' parameters in RSA3. Most likely the actual extract is only making one call with a larger data rec/call number. The extraction process will collect data records with the same key so less data has to be transferred to the BW. When you run RSA3 you are probably getting similar records (that would normally collect) in different data packets thereby creating more records. Try running RSA3 with a much higher (2000) recs/call for several calls. Regards, -----End of Message Best regards, SAP Basis, ABAP Programming and Other IMG Stuff http://www.sap-img.com/index.htm

What is the quickest way to find the R/3 source table and field name for a field appearing on the BW InfoSource? -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: R/3 Source Table.field - How To Find? Hi, With some ABAP-knowledge you can find some info: 1, Start ST05 (SQL-trace) in R/3 2, Start RSA3 in R/3 just for some records 3, After RSA3 finishes, stop SQL-trace in ST05 4, Analyze SQL-statements in ST05 You can find the tables - but this process doesn't help e.g for the LO-cockpit datasources.

SAP BW versus R/3 Reporting -----Original Message----Subject: BW versus R/3 Reporting Dear All, Would it be sufficient just to Web-enable R/3 Reports ? Why does one need to implement BW ? What are the major benefits of reporting with BW over R/3 ?

Thanking you, -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: BW versus R/3 Reporting There are quite a few companies that share your thought but R/3 was designed as a OLTP system and not an analytical and reporting system. In fact depending on you needs you can even get away with a reporting instance (quite easy with Sun or EMC storage) Yes you can run as many reports as you need from R/3 and web enable them but consider these factors. 1: Performance -- heavy reporting along with regular OLTP transactions can produce a lot of load both on the R/3 and the database (u, memory, disks, etc). Just take a look at the load put on your system during a month end, quarter end, or year end -- now imagine that occurring even more frequently. 2: Data analysis -- BW uses a Data Ware house and OLAP concepts for storing and analyzing data. Where R/3 was designed for transaction processing. With a lot of work you can get the same analysis out of R/3 but most likely would be easier from a BW. Regards, -----Reply Message----Subject: RE: BW versus R/3 Reporting Major benefits of BW include: 1) By offloading ad-hoc and long running queries from production R/3 system to BW system, overall system performance should improve on R/3. 2) Another key performance benefit with BW is the database design. It is designed specifically for query processing, not data updating and OLTP. Within BW, the data structures are designed differently and are much better suited for reporting than R/3 data structures. For example, BW utilizes star schema design which includes fact and dimension tables with bit-mapped indexes. Other important factors include the built-in for aggregates, database partitioning, more efficient ABAP code by utilizing TRFC processing versus IDOC. 3) Better front-end reporting within BW. Although the BW excel front-end has it's problems, it provides more flexibility and analysis capability than the R/3 reporting screens. 4) BW has ability to pull data from other SAP or non-SAP sources into a

consolidated cube. In summary, BW provides much better performance and stronger data analysis capabilities than R/3. -----End of Message----Best regards, SAP Basis, ABAP Programming and Other IMG Stuff http://www.sap-img.com/index.htm

SAP BW Interview Questions 1. How much time does it take to extract 1 million of records from an infocube? 2. How much does it take to load (before question extract) 1 million of records to an infocube? 3. What are the four ASAP Methodologies? 4. How do you measure the size of infocube? 5. Difference between infocube and ODS? 6. Difference between display attributes and navigational attributes? Kiran 1. Ans. This depends,if you have complex coding in update rules it will take longer time,orelse it will take less than 30 mins. 3. Ans: Project plan Requirements gathering Gap Analysis

Project Realization 4. Ans: In no of records 5. Ans: Infocube is structured as star schema(extended) where in a fact table is surrounded by different dim table which connects to sids. And the data wise, you will have aggregated data in the cubes. ODS is a flat structure(flat table) with no star schema concept and which will have granular data(detailed level). 6. Ans: Display attribute is one which is used only for display purpose in the report.Where as navigational attribute is used for drilling down in the report.We don't need to maintain Nav attribute in the cube as a characteristic(that is the advantage) to drill down. Ravi Q1. SOME DATA IS ED TWICE INTO INFOCUBE. HOW TO CORRECT IT? Ans: But how is it possible?.If you load it manually twice, then you can delete it by request. Q2. CAN U ADD A NEW FIELD AT THE ODS LEVEL? Sure you can.ODS is nothing but a table. Q3. CAN NUMBER OF DATASOURCE HAS ONE INFOSOURCE? Yes ofcourse.For example, for loading text and hierarchies we use different data sources but the same infosource. Q4. BRIEF THE DATAFLOW IN BW. Data flows from transactional system to analytical system(BW).DS on the transactional system needs to be replicated on BW side and attached to infosource and update rules respectively. Q5. CURRENCY CONVERSIONS CAN BE WRITTEN IN UPDATE RULES. WHY NOT IN TRANSFER RULES? Q6. WHAT IS PROCEDURE TO UPDATE DATA INTO DATA TARGETS? Full and delta. Q7. AS WE USE Sbwnn,SBiw1,sbiw2 for delta update in LIS THEN WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE IN LO-COCKPIT? No lis in lo cockpit.We will have data sources and can be maintained(append fields).Refer

white paper on LO-Cokpit extractions. Q8. SIGNIFICANCE OF ODS. It holds granular data. Q9. WHERE THE PSA DATA IS STORED? In PSA table. Q10.WHAT IS DATA SIZE? The volume of data one data target holds(in no.of records) Q11. DIFFERENT TYPES OF INFOCUBES. Basic,Virtual(remote,sap remote and multi) Q12. INFOSET QUERY. Can be made of ODSs and objects Q13. IF THERE ARE 2 DATASOURCES HOW MANY TRANSFER STRUCTURES ARE THERE. In R/3 or in BW??.2 in R/3 and 2 in BW Q14. ROUTINES? Exist In the info object,transfer routines,update routines and start routine Q15. BRIEF SOME STRUCTURES USED IN BEX. Rows and Columns,you can create structures. Q16. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT VARIABLES USED IN BEX? Variable with default entry Replacement path SAP exit Customer exit Authorization Q17. HOW MANY LEVELS YOU CAN GO IN REPORTING? You can drill down to any level you want using Nav attributes and jump targets Q18. WHAT ARE INDEXES? Indexes are data base indexes,which help in retrieving data fastly. Q19. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2.1 AND 3.X VERSIONS. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Refer documentation Q20. IS IT NESSESARY TO INITIALIZE EACH TIME THE DELTA UPDATE IS USED.

Nope Q21. WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF KPI'S? KPI’s indicate the performance of a company.These are key figures Q22. AFTER THE DATA EXTRACTION WHAT IS THE IMAGE POSITION. After image(correct me if I am wrong) Q23. REPORTING AND RESTRICTIONS. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Refer documentation Q24. TOOLS USED FOR PERFORMANCE TUNING.

SAP BW Interview Questions 2 1) What is process chain? How many types are there? How many we use in real time scenario? Can we define interdependent processes with tasks like data loading, cube compression, index maintenance, master data & ods activation in the best possible performance & data integrity. 2) What is data integrityand how can we achieve this? 3) What is index maintenance and what is the purpose to use this in real time? 4) When and why use infocube compression in real time? 5) What is mean by data modelling and what will the consultant do in data modelling? 6) How can enhance business content and what for purpose we enhance business content (becausing we can activate business content) 7) What is fine-tuning and how many types are there and what for purpose we done tuning in real time. tuning can only be done for infocube partitions and creating aggregates or any other? 8) What is mean by multiprovider and what purpose we use multiprovider? 9) What is scheduled and monitored data loads and for what purpose? Ans # 1: Process chains exists in Work Bench. Using these we can automate ETTL processes. These allows BW guys to schedule all activities and monitor (T Code: RSPC).

Ans # 2: Data Integrity is about eliminating duplicate entries in the database and achieve normalization. Ans # 4: InfoCube compression creates new cube by eliminating duplicates. Compressed infocubes require less storage space and are faster for retrieval of information. Here the catch is .. Once you compress, you can't alter the InfoCube. You are safe as long as you don't have any error in modeling. This compression can be done through Process Chain and also manually. SAP BW Tips by: Anand. Ans#3 Indexing is a process where the data is stored by indexing it. Eg: A phone book... When we write somebodys number we write it as Prasads number would be in "P" and Rajesh's number would be in "R"... The phone book process is indexing.. similarly the storing of data by creating indexes is called indexing. Ans#5 Datamodeling is a process where you collect the facts..the attributes associated to facts.. navigation atributes etc.. and after you collect all these you need to decide which one you ill be using. This process of collection is done by interviewing the end s, the power s, the share holders etc.. it is generally done by the Team Lead, Project Manager or sometimes a Sr. Consultant (4-5 yrs of exp) So if you are new you dont have to worry about it....But do that it is a imp aspect of any datawarehousing soln.. so make sure that you have read datamodeling before attending any interview or even starting to work.... Ans#6 We can enhance the Business Content bby adding fields to it. Since BC is delivered by SAP Inc it may not contain all the infoobjects, infocubes etc that you want to use according to your company's data model... eg: you have a customer infocube(In BC) but your company uses a attribute for say..apt number... then instead of constructing the whole infocube you can add the above field to the existing BC infocube and get going... Ans#7 Tuning is the most imp process in BW..Tuning is done the increase efficiency.... that means lowering time for loading data in cube.. lowering time for accessing a query.. lowering time for doing a drill down etc.. fine tuning=lowering time(for everything possible)...tuning can be done by many things not only by partitions and aggregates there are various things you can do... for eg: compression, etc.. Ans#8 Multiprovider can combine various infoproviders for reporting purposes.. like you can

combine 4-5 infocubes or 2-3 infocubes and 2-3 ODS or IC, ODS and Master data.. etc.. you can refer to help.sap.com for more info... Ans#9 Scheduled data load means you have scheduled the loading of data for some particular date and time you can do it in scheduler tab if infoobject... and monitored means you are monitoring that particular data load or some other loads by using transaction RSMON.
