SAP scripts is the standard SAP form design tools for user to developed customized form
printing format such as purchase orders, invoices, checks, labels. With the combination of
third party barcode software (barcode.dll) or printer with bardimm, you can print barcode
directly using SAP scripts.

You can use the POSITION and SIZE commands to set default parmeters for a box.
Instead of:
/: BOX XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '5.31' MM HEIGHT '10' MM WIDTH '20' MM
INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW
If you want to set the position relatively to the window use POSITION WINDOW
to set the position to the top/left start of the window. Then use POSITION
to set the current position relatively to the start of the Window.
Note that you uses "+" or "-" in the ORIGIN position to the set the position relatively.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN '+5' MM YORIGIN '+10' MM
the position is now 5 MM from the left and 10 MM from the top of the window
NOTE: After using the position command you can move the current position
Drawing a line. You can draw a line by setting the Height or Weidth to 0
and add a frane. E.g. a horizontal line:

/: PRINT-CONTROL xxxxx
or
/: PRINT-CONTROL 'xxxxx'
where xxxxx stands for the five-character name of the print control.
Example:
/: PRINT-CONTROL ZM100
If characters belonging to the print command follow after the print control in the text (only
useful for the HPL2 printer driver for PCL-5 printers), the text line following after the
PRINT-CONTROL command should begin with an equals sign (=) in the format column.
Example:
/: PRINT-CONTROL SESCP = *c5G
If you do not use the equals sign, a space character is inserted between the print control
SESCP and the character *c5G.

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.

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.
2. call function 'START_FORM', include parameter 'FORM' passing the name of your first
form
5. call function 'START_FORM', include parameter 'FORM' passing the name of your
second form
I have not tried using page numbers with this technique, I suspect that each form will
restart at 1.

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.
ENDFORM.
I have given a rough outline, please be aware of the variable conversions as Int_cond-
value and outt_cond-value are characters.

It is normal that the picture doesn't show in print preview and you will be able to see the

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 support
and which SAP support 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 pass 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 supported 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 support 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 support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload 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 support barcodes.
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 user 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?
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
A: On the Terms & Conditions page, Change the Page counter mode to 'HOLD' to keep
the page counter from incrementing when you print the Term & Conditions.
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.
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.

You don't create a PO using MEDRUCK. MEDRUCK is the form used to print a PO that
has been created.
Goto SE71, there is an option in Utilities as COPY ffrom Source client (000). Copy the
from MEDRUCK into a Zname form. The common changes wud b inserting a logo,
using Std text for Terms and Conditions, alignment of windows as per client requirement,
get xtra data if client is asking for somethign more.
There are structures used in Scripts which hold the data entered by the user. These
structures are used to get data from Database.
Look at MEDRUCK form and it would have a print program. you can find in tcode

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 user 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 passes
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.
Also read SAP Note No. 168368 - Smart Forms: New form tool in Release 4.6C
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 passes form content from R/3 to an external product
without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.

1. The adaption of forms is supported 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 user forms can also make configurations for your business processes
with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.

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).

You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be
assign to texts and fields in the Smart Form.
The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font
attributes.

a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can
download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload
this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download
option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading.
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 ->
Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload 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.

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.

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 could also write a small batch program calling transaction SMARTFORMS and
running the migration tool.

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.
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.
Or you can just draw "__" accross the page and play with the fonts so that it joins each
UNDER_SCORE.
Form Interface is where you declare what must be passed 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.
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.
Here is the code that can be use to determine the internal name of the function module:
Code:
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.

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 Administrator 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.
Easy - page FRONT lists page CONTACTS as next page and CONTACTS lists FRONT as
next page. Since CONTACTS does not contain a MAIN window, it will print the contacts
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 CONTACTS to 'blank' (for both resource name
and print mode - this is the only way to get to the back of the page).
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.
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.

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
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
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 remembered to change the Fields:
Maximum no. of hits right at the bottom of the screen.

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.
REPORT ZTABLEFIELDNAME.
TABLES: DFIES,
X030L.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
WRITE:/ 'Field name not found'.
endif.
LOOP AT INTTAB.
WRITE:/ INTTAB-TABNAME, INTTAB-FIELDNAME, INTTAB-FIELDTEXT.
ENDLOOP.
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.

The steps to change the Title of any SAP transaction code are as follows:
On the top left Menu of the screen - Click Translation - Short texts - Transactions
For example, assuming you want to change the title of the tcode FB01 from Post
Document to Post Document for G/L. On the first screen, fill in the following
information:
On the second line, type in the Title (For e.g. Post Document for G/L) you want for the
transaction code
Now, called up the transaction code /nFB01 again and you should be able to view the new
Title.
Please note that it works for most of the Transaction code except for those new Enjoy
transaction code in 4.6x.

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.
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 user
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 user
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 user
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.
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. account 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 user to see a specific menu after logging on the R/3 system, how
could you do that?
User maintenance transactions allow the system administrator to create and maintain user
master records. This includes the generation and assignment of authorizations and
authorization profiles.

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, CPU, 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 CPUs 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 user 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, CPU Mhz)
o Check if the bandwidth for WAN connection is sufficient

SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) is SAP´s Data Warehouse solution. It has
been specially developed to allow you to gather and analyze all kinds of statistical
information in the best possible way.
The SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is a core element of mySAP.com.
SAP BW is an enterprise-wide information hub that enables data analysis from R/3 and
other business application, including external data sources such as databases and the
Internet. SAP BW also offers easy integration with other mySAP solutions, such as
mySAP Supply Chain
Management (mySAP SCM), mySAP Strategic Enterprise Management (mySAP SEM),
and mySAP Customer Relationship Management (mySAP CRM).
With an easy-to-use Microsoft Excel-based user interface, you can create, format, and
analyze reports, and publish those reports to the web. Built for high performance, SAP
BW resides on its own dedicated server. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and
reporting activities are therefore separated, and system performance is not compromised.
If you have any SAP Business Information Warehouse queries, please feel free to raise it
in the SAP BW Forum.

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 users. It consists of the BEx Analyzer, BEx Browser, BEx Web, and BEx Map
for analysis and reporting activities.
Source Systems: The source systems, as the bottom layer, serve as the data sources
for raw business data. SAP BW supports 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.

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 administration 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.

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.

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?)
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).

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:
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?
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.

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.
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.

-----Reply Message-----
Subject: RE: BW versus R/3 Reporting
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.

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

Ans # 1:
Process chains exists in Admin 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.
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 users, the power
users, 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 remember 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.

In certification 3 hrs is very sufficient and more time we will spend for understanding
questions than writing answers.
1) Project Implementation (4 Questions):
Like this 5 choice below each questions and each choice carries mark as we have to speciy
true or false.
a. During Realisation phase all team memebers will be discussing abt the datasource that
need to be used to fit the Requiremnet. (True or False).
1. What are the data traget that can be used for a Multi providers.
True or false.
a. .CSS ext
b. .TXT ext
a. Printing
b. Saving workbooks.
In reporting they gave some scenarios and we have to choose which option is correct for
creating reports.
Like, we have to create as Restricted Key fig or Cal Key Gig or as Replacement Path
variable. Forgot the scenarios. Each questions are like a paragraph so it was tough to
remember questions.
(V) Extractions.
Here I had one question from LO and 1 question from CO-PA and 0 questions from LIS.
More questions on Generic extractor, Delta type and more questions on S-API.
True or False.
Like this 5 choces. We have to think and write but they are easy.
(VI). Authorisation.
5 choices and every choices carries marks. Just like Project implementation.
I hope this will give some idea. I am posting this so any one can make use of it.
Cheers!
