How Do We Gather The Requirements For An Implementation Project?

Answer»

One of the biggest and most important challenges in any implementation is gathering and understanding the end user and process TEAM functional requirements. These functional requirements represent the scope of analysis needs and expectations (both now and in the FUTURE) of the end user. These typically involve all of the following:- Business reasons for the project and business questions answered by the implementation- Critical success factors for the implementation- Source systems that are involved and the scope of INFORMATION needed from each- Intended audience and stakeholders and their analysis needs- Any major transformation that is needed in order to provide the information- Security requirements to prevent unauthorized use This process involves one seemingly simple task: Find out exactly what the end users' analysis requirements are, both now and in the future, and build the BW system to these requirements. Although simple in concept, in practice gathering and REACHING a CLEAR understanding and agreement on a complete set of BW functional requirements is not always so simple.

How Do We Decide What Cubes Has To Be Created?

Answer»

It depends on your PROJECT requirement. Customized cubes are not mandatory for all the projects. If your business requirement is differs from given scenario ( BI content cubes ) then only we will opt for customized cubes. Normally your BW customization or creation of new info providers all are depending on your source system. If your source system other that R3 then you should go with customization of your all objects. If your source system is R3 and your users are USING only R3 standard business scenarios like SD, MM or FI... etc., then you dont want to create any info providers or you dont want to enhance any thing in the existing BW Business Content. But 99% this is not possible. Because surely they should have included their new business scenario or new enhancements. For example, In my first project we implemented for Solution Manager BW implementation. There we have activated all the business content in CRM. But the source system have new scenarios for message escalation, ageing calculation etc., According their business scenario we couldn't use standard business content. For that we have taken only existing info objects and created new info objects which are not there in the business content. After that we have created custom DATA source to info providers as well as reports.

Who Used To Make The Technical And Functional Specifications?

Answer»

Technical Specification:Here we will mention all the BW OBJECTS (info objects, data sources, info sources and info providers). Then we are going to say the data flow and behaviour of the data load (EITHER delta or full) also we can tell the duration of the cube ACTIVATION or creation. Pure BW technical things are available in this DOCUMENT. This is not for End users document. Functional Specification:Here we will describe the business requirements. That means here we are going to say which are all business we are implementing like SD, MM and FI etc., then we are going to tell the KPI and deliverable reports detail to the users. This document is going to mingle with both Function Consultants and Business Users. This document is applicable for end users also.

How To Convert A Bex Query Global Structure To Local Structure (steps Involved)?

Answer»

BeX query GLOBAL structure to local structure Steps a local structure when you want to add structure elements that are unique to the SPECIFIC query. Changing the global structure changes the structure for all the queries that use the global structure. That is reason you go for a local structure. COMING to the navigation part--In the BEx Analyzer, from the SAP Business Explorer toolbar, choose the open query icon (icon tht looks like a folder) On the SAP BEx Open dialog box:Choose Queries. Select the desired InfoCubeChoose New.On the Define the query screen:In the left frame, expand the Structure node. Drag and drop the desired structure into EITHER the Rows or Columnsframe. Select the global structure. Right-click and choose Remove reference. A local structure is created. REMEMBER that you cannot revert back the changes made to global structure in this regard. You will have to delete the local structure and then drag ndrop global structure into query definition. When you try to save a global structure, a dialogue box prompts you to confirm changes to all queries. that is how you identify a global structure.

What Is The Use Of Define Cell In Bex & Where It Is Useful?

Answer»

Cell in BEX:::Use * When you define selection criteria and formulas for structural components and there are two structural components of a query, generic cell definitions are created at the intersection of the structural components that determine the values to be presented in the cell. Cell-specific definitions allow you to define explicit formulas, along with implicit cell definition, and selection CONDITIONS for cells and in this way, to override implicitly created cell values. This function allows you to design much more detailed queries. In addition, you can define cells that have no DIRECT relationship to the structural components. These cells are not displayed and serve as containers for help SELECTIONS or help formulas. you need two structures to enable cell editor in bex. In every query you have one STRUCTURE for key figures, then you have to do another structure with selections or formulas inside. Then having two structures, the cross among them results in a fix reporting AREA of n rows * m columns. The cross of any row with any column can be defined as formula in cell editor. This is useful when you want to any cell had a different behaviour that the general one described in your query definition. For example imagine you have the following where % is a formula kfB/KfA *100.kfA kfB %chA 6 4 66%chB 10 2 20%chC 8 4 50%Then you want that % for row chC was the sum of % for chA and % chB. Then in cell editor you are enable to write a formula specifically for that cell as sum of the two cell before. chC/% = chA/% + chB/% then:kfA kfB %chA 6 4 66%chB 10 2 20%chC 8 4 86% Manager Round Review Questions.

What Is The Rms Application?

Answer»

SAP Records Management is a component of the SAP Web Application Server for the electronic management of records and even paper-based information can be part of the electronic RECORD in the SAP RMS. Other advantages of using SAP Records Management compared to other providers of record-based solutions: Records Management is a solution for the electronic management of records. The RMS divides various business units LOGICALLY thereby making it possible to provide particular groups of users with access to particular records, as needed within their business processes.

QUICK access to information is a key factor for performing business successfully. Records Management guarantees this quick access. In one record, all information objects of a business transaction are grouped together in a transparent hierarchical STRUCTURE. By converting paper records to electronic records, an organisation can enjoy all the advantages of a paper-free office: No storage costs for records, no cost-intensive copying procedures, and optimal retrieval of information.

However, SAP Records Management not only provides an electronic representation of the conventional paper record.

What Is The Difference Between Ods And Infocube And Multiprovider?

Answer»

• ODS: Provides granular data, ALLOWS overwrite and data is in transparent tables, IDEAL for DRILLDOWN and RRI.

What Is Star Schema?

Answer»

In Star Schema model, Fact table is SURROUNDED by dimensional tables. Fact table is usually very large, that means it contains millions to billions of records. On the other hand dimensional tables are very small. Hence they contain a few thousands to few million records. In practice, Fact table holds transactional data and dimensional table holdsmaster data.
The dimensional tables are specific to a fact table. This means that dimensional tables are not shared to across other fact tables. When other fact table such as a product needs the same product dimension data another dimension table that is specific to a NEW fact table is needed.
This SITUATION creates data management problems such as master data redundancy because the very same product is duplicated in several dimensional tables instead of sharing from ONE single master data table. This PROBLEM can be solved in extended star schema.

In Star Schema model, Fact table is surrounded by dimensional tables. Fact table is usually very large, that means it contains millions to billions of records. On the other hand dimensional tables are very small. Hence they contain a few thousands to few million records. In practice, Fact table holds transactional data and dimensional table holdsmaster data.
