Realignment

Use

Release 3.0A of Demand Planning will allow you to realign your data following organizational changes within your company; in technical terms, you reassign the attributes of a characteristic.

This process consists of several steps:

  1. Change the alignment by following one of two procedures:
  • Either you upload the new assignment of attributes to InfoObject values.

  • Or you change the master data manually. This function is available in the InfoObject maintenance transaction of the Administrator Workbench.

  1. Activate the realigned master data for the BW InfoCube data (do not activate master data for the APO InfoCubes).
  2. Activate the realigned master data for the planning areas.
This function is not available with First Customer Shipment and Support Package 1 of APO Release 3.0A.

The following documentation explains how to do step 1. It is taken from the Adminstrator Workbench documentation for the Business Information Warehouse. For more information, see the Application Help for the Business Information Warehouse (Release 2.0B).

Adjusting Changes to Hierarchies and Attributes

Usage

If hierarchies and attributes for characteristics have changed, then it is necessary to make structural changes to the aggregates in order to adjust the data accordingly.

  • Note
With a structural change, all of the aggregates that are affected by the changes to the hierarchies and InfoObjects of all InfoCubes are adjusted. Under certain circumstances, this can take a very long time.

If an aggregate is only affected by a few changes, then it is adjusted, otherwise it is reconstructed. When you carry out the adjustments, the obsolete data records are read negatively whereas the new data records are read positively.

Beyond a certain scale of adjustment, modifying the aggregate becomes more time-consuming than reconstructing it. Because this threshold value depends on your system installations, you change the value yourself. To do this, choose Business Information Warehouse -> General BW Settings -> Maintain Aggregate Realignment Run and make the settings you want there.

Procedure

Manually:

  1. Select Administrator Workbench à Tools àHierarchy/Attribute Changes from the menu.
All the executed realignment runs are listed with detailed information in the following dialog box.
All InfoObjects and hierarchies that are planned for structural change are selected by default.
  1. If you only want to carry out the structural changes for individual InfoObjects and hierarchies, select the pushbutton InfoObject List and/or Hierarchy List, and remove from the list those InfoObjects and hierarchies for which the changes should not be made.
  2. You can now schedule a new structural change by entering the date and time, or you can choose to execute immediately.
  3. The status of the structural change is displayed in the upper section of the dialog box.

Automatically:

You can also schedule the same function directly carrying out a report, by specifying the program name RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN.

You can also create the program regularly as a background job as well as in a chain of events.

  • Example
The attributes for the characteristic 0MATERIAL are uploaded weekly. You can now schedule the program so that it starts after loading. You can also use the InfoObject List 0MATERIAL as a variant, so that only the changes to the material attributes are taken into account and not others, which will be needed later.

You can use the pushbutton Log to display the messages for the changes you made manually as well as automatically.

Result

The aggregates for BW contain the changed hierarchies and / or attributes.

Note: The adjustment run can take quite some time. Reporting on the old hierarchies / attributes is possible during the run.
