Q

LO Describe Customizing work status

A

To change the work status for a data region, select Save Data → Change Work Status… on the EPM tab in Excel. The Change Work Status dialog box opens, where you define for which data region you want to change the work status. For each dimension, the context member is displayed by default. You can select another member for a dimension by clicking the ellipsis button. In Planning and Consolidation for SAP NetWeaver, you must only select a base member for each dimension xcept the Owner Dimension or you will not be able select another work status. You can change the work status only for members of which you are the owner or manager. BPC420 P.649

Q

Default code in work status allows customized behavior for the Environment.

A
  • LOCKED for all methods is equivalent to preventing any data update until the work status is advanced to the next status (1)
  • ALL for all methods is equivalent to having all data open for update – this is the current and default behavior
  • SETUP applies to ALL of the models in the environment
  • WRITEBACK always checks for locks; if there are no locks in the lock

Q

What are some hints about work status codes?

A

Hint: Work status codes must be 20 characters or less, and their descriptions are limited to 40 characters (this is the same as a member ID). Hint: You can change the order of work status, but once you change it, the system deletes all locks for all models in the environment. Hint: Deleting codes also deletes all locks. Adding codes to the bottom of the list, changing a code definition, does not impact existing locks, but may impact business users. We recommend this only during the testing phase. BPC420 P.652

Q

What is setup of data locking settings?

A

Use this function to set up data locking settings for each model. This involves identifying a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 dimensions from the environment. The dimensions should be variables in your business process, such as entity, category, and time. These are dimensions whose members change based on who is submitting data. BPC420 P.654

Q

What is normal mode?

A

For modifying and creating objects. In this mode, if a transported object exists in the target system, it is modified with the changes from the source system. If it does not exist, it is created. BPC420 P.670

A

Many more objects can be moved using normal. BPC420 P.671

32
Q

A

Model, dimension, DM Package, DM Package Group, DM Package Link BPC420 P.671

33
Q

What are three dependency checks for transport process?

A

during the following three transport processes: creation, import, data checker. BPC420 P.672

34
Q

What message may appear during transport? How will system handle?

A

user can continue to do transport by selecting “continue with warning message”. If the dependent entities already exist in the target system, transport will succeed otherwise the transport will fail. BPC420 P.672

35
Q

What happens if transport fails during Import Process?

A

roll back. “During the Import process” a dependency check is also executed. If it fails, a roll back will happen on the single entity (corresponding to transport granularity) that encounters error during transport and it will not affect other entities. BPC420 P.672

36
Q

What happens at Data Checker stage of transport?

A

no roll back option. Error messages appear. “The Data checker is executed after importing”. Roll back will not be executed at this step. Error or warning message will be eturned back when there are issues during this step. BPC420 P.672

37
Q

How do you start the transport?

A

BW/RSA1/ Left column: choose SAP Transport / Object Types middle column: more types/ environment (dbl click), / select objects / Click Transfer Selections button / BPC420 P.674

38
Q

Where do already selected objects appear?

A

under Environment Group for future transports BPC420 P.674

39
Q

What do you need to do before transporting?

A

take source and target offline (will error) also don’t want updates from users BPC420 P.675

40
Q

What happens if the trasport of an object fails?

A

the changes for that object are not made in the target system. The object in the target system remains unchanged. This does not affect the transport of other objects to the target system. BPC420 P.675

41
Q

Once Transport Objects are created, what do you do?

A

the changes for that object are not made in the target system. The object in the target system remains unchanged. This does not affect the transport of other objects to the target system. BPC420 P.677

42
Q

What is the different step for a transport in Normal vs Delete mode?

A

When creating transport in BW choose “Environment”/Normal instead of “BPC Deletion”/Delete BPC420 P.677

43
Q

Could you do a customizing request that contains both normal and delete transports?

A

do not combine into a customized request. BPC420 P.677

44
Q

What program can you use when a transport problem occurs?

A

UJT_AFTER_FAIL_PROCESS BPC420 P.678

45
Q

How do you get to the transport log?

A

logs help debug issues. Here are steps to get to log: transaction code SLG1 / In the Object field enter UJ, in the SubObject field enter UJT / Click execute note: these are BPC specific logs. BPC420 P.679

46
Q

What is code to open transport organizer?

A

SE09 transaction code BPC420 P.679

47
Q

What are two typical landscape deployment scenarios?

A

Dev to Prd / Production only (with development for patch testing)
Additional info: Typically, all objects are created in development and transported to production. The exceptions include security and teams, which typically are handled landscape by landscape. Additionally, the decision would need to be made for Workbooks (report templates and input schedules). If this is done in development, then workbooks in production would be overwritten. If this is done in production, then workbooks from development are not transported. BPC420 P.680

48
Q

What are typical exceptions for transport?

A

security and teams are typical. Reports is another decision. BPC420 P.680

49
Q

What is best practice for Ongoing Development?

A

Some customers have release cycles in which they are unable to transport an entire environment. For example, they may have a configuration that has Production
support changes and another configuration on the same model or environment that is transported at a later stage in the project cycle. In this case, you should have two environments in development, one for new development, and one for production support changes. When a production support change occurs, this should be done in both environments in development. When the cut-over of new development needs to be transported, then the configuration can be moved to the production support environment and transported. BPC420 P.680

50
Q

What is Prodcution only scenario?

A

In the “Production only scenario”, you work in production only. When you need to apply a patch, you transport the environment from Production to Development. You test the patch in Development. After the patch is validated, you apply the patch to Production. BPC420 P.680

60
Q

Is packaging supported for master data related extraction?

A

No packaging is supported for master data related extraction. This is the limitation from ADMIN API which could not support packaging; This is why all behaviors related with master data do not support packaging.
