Setup of
Statistical Data
During a setup (statistical setup), the
information structures are filled with consistent and complete
data.
The statistical setup of one or more
information structures is necessary in the following cases:
- If an information structure was created using
the Logistics Data Warehouse (statistical database)
- If the update for the information structures
was activated after documents were already in the system that were meant to be
included in the statistics
- If the statistical update in Customizing was
changed
- If the statistical data is
inconsistent
Preparation
To restart a statistical update after an
termination, allocate a name to each background run of the setup.
If a statistical setup is then terminated or if
a setup is interrupted from the archive documents, the status of the setup
will then be saved under the name of this run.
When restarting under the same name, processing
will continue from the intermediate status that was saved.
After the run is successfully completed, the
intermediate status that was saved is deleted.
Recommendation
- The reports should run as a background
job.
- You should not change the
sequence of steps that describe the statistical setup of information
structures (procedure).
Procedure
The following steps are necessary to perform a
complete statistical set up:
1.
Initialize version for statistical setup
For reasons of
security, the statistical data determined during a setup is not directly
written into an information structure, but are saved instead under a separate
version name. This version must be activated for intermediate storage before
the statistical setup is carried out.
For this purpose,
the report RMCSISCP is available.
The actual data is
saved under the version name "000".
2. Save
actual data
The actual data in
the system should be saved for safety reasons.
Again, use report
RMCSISCP for this purpose.
3. Edit
all archived documents
To do this, you can
use the various reports that are available in the individual
applications.
4. Edit
all documents in the system
This also takes
place via the various reports that are available in the individual
applications.
5.
Transfer the data which was obtained in the statistical setup from the
statistical setup version to the actual version
The data obtained is
only imported to the actual version instead of the existing data after the
successful completion of the statistical setup.
The report
RMCSISCP is again used for this purpose.
Note
You can see the
versions of the standard information structures by using the standard
analyses. Here are the following possibilities:
a) You can
allocate the version number of the version as a value to the user parameter
"MCR" that you would like to see.
On the selection
screen of the standard analysis, the field Version
under Parameters is automatically completed with the
given version number. The version number can be changed simply by overwriting
it.
This setting is
user-dependent and applies to all standard
analyses.
b) If you
assign the value "X" to the user paramter "MCR", the version "000" will
generally appear on the selection screen of the standard analyses. Even in
this case, the version number can be overwritten.
This setting is also
user-dependent and applies to all standard
analyses.
If you want to use
either one of these functions, select System -> User profile
-> User parameters . You can select this function from any
menu.
Recommendation
You should change
the user parameters in an alternative session, as it is not possible to return
to the starting point from the user parameters maintenance
screen.
c) Via "User
settings", you can also make specifications for the versions, which are also
user-dependent, but also only refer to one particular
standard analysis.
To do this, in the
selection screen of the standard analysis, select Goto -> User
settings.
You are now in the
standard drill-down. Select Goto
->Parameters.
If you set the
indicator "Selectable version", the field "Version" with the version number
"000" will also appear on the selection screen. This version number can be
overwritten at any time and thus changed.
1.
Follow-up processing
After successfully
completing the statistical setup, you can then delete data that is no longer
needed by deleting the version under which this data is saved.
These
include:
- Version for statistical setup
The report
RMCSISCP can be used for this purpose.
Activities
To carry out a statistical setup, procede as
follows:
1. Enter your
selection requirements.
2. Save your
entries.
3. Select
Program -> Execute.
Description of
the report RMCSISCP
The report RMCSISCP is used in
all information systems in Logistics. For this reason, the report is described
below.
You can use report RMCSISCP
you can copy or delete versions from information structures under which
statistical data has been saved.
The data, that has been saved in an information
structure, is different due to the version under which they have been
saved.
The version "000" includes the actual data,
i.e., the data that was written into the information structure as a result of
the statistical update.
The intermediate results are stored in the
versions that begin with " &(" and that are created when an information
structure is setup.
Planning data is stored under all other
versions (that means version A000 and all numerical versions except version
000).
The statistical setup of an information
structure is carried out just like the online update, with the difference
being that the data is not usually written into version "000"
first, but rather into a version that you choose, that begins with "&(".
The data is only copied from this version into the "000" version after the
successful completion of the initial transfer.
Note
While copying into
the "000" version, you must not carry out any postings that
update the respective information structure.
To keep the old version "000" (the existing
actual data) from being lost, save it under another version. This "safety
copy" is also generated with report RMCSISCP.
You can use the indicator "Initialize target
version" to delete data data stored until now under this version. If the
indicator "Do not copy initial records" is set, data records are only set if
at least one key figure is not initial.
Attention
The report RMCSISCP should only be used for
copying, deleting and for copying + deleting. Copy Management should be used
to meet more complex requirements (Tools -> Copy Management).
Activities
1. Enter the
name of the information structure that is to be copied/deleted.
2. Choose a
processing type.
The Copy Management
screen is called up. The processing type that you have selected is already
set.
3. Here you
make all the remaining entries required for selection.
Additional
functions
You can also call up a log which contains
detailed information about all of the completed setup runs.
This function allows you to make restrictions
by specifying the start date of a run, the run name, the user and the
application.
You can also either print the list of selected
setup runs or the detail screen for a setup run.
