Cross-Application Selection Parameters
The following section describes the selection
parameters that are used by several applications for the setup of statistical
data.
Specifications for the target
structures:
- Information structure to be set
up
Here, you can
specify which information structures you would like to supply with
data.
The information
structures that you specify here will be set up.
To optimize saving
the statistical data, the actual data will not be overwritten by the data of
the statistical setup.
During the
statistical setup, the statistical data is stored under the version that you
specify here, whereas statistical data is stored in the information structures
under the version "000" (actual data) in the case of online entry and online
updating of an order.
The "000" version is
the version that is used by the information systems to refer to their
data.
The reports for the
statistical setup do not prevent the data that already exists from being
unavailable. The old data is not replaced by the new data until later, in a
subesequent step of the setup.
After completing the
setup of statistical data you can analyze the results and then copy them to
the actual version (report RMCVISCP). This report also allows
you to save the old actual values in a version.
Note
All versions, that
begin with "&(" are reserved for the setup of statistical
data.
The other versions
(i.e. version A00 and all numerical versions except version 000) are available
as planning versions.
You can use a
standard analysis to look at the SAP standard information structures, by
specifying the version number of the version that you would like to analyze
(to see the various options available to you here, refer to the section
Setup of Statistical Data under "Procedure"). The
standard analyses then read the data of the version you have specified, and no
longer read the actual data.
Restriction of the document data :
Here, you specify
the name of the archive file from which the archived documents are to be
read.
If you do not
specify an archive, the documents will be read from the residence (the
documents located in the system).
Archiving runs are
numbered consecutively, and called up automatically and
sequentially.
The numbers for the
archiving runs are applicable to all objects.
Control of the setup run:
In order to continue
an interrupted or a terminated setup, you must assign a name to each run of
the report, under which the status of the run will be permanently
stored.
The system then
searches for the first document that has not yet been processed and
subsequently begins to process it under this name.
Note
To avoid
similarities in the names, use the transaction se16 to check the list of names
that already exist in the table TMCW3.
If you set this
indicator, document processing then begins with the first selected document if
an entry for restarting still exists under the run name used.
- Termination date and
termination time
You can determine
when processing should end.
If a report runs
over the weekend, for example, it would make sense to stop processing on
Monday morning when online operations begin again.
This is particularly
necessary if you have selected the option "Lock all documents".
- Redetermining the update
group
If you set this
indicator, the update group will be redetermined for the documents processed
during the setup in accordance with the settings that you have made in
Customizing for the respective application.
If you set this
indicator, the redetermined update groups will be written to the
documents.
The advantage here
is that if a change is made to a document, the current update group is taken
into account when the change is updated.
If you have changed
the Customizing settings, you should definitely make use of this
option.
Specifications for the use of
ALE (Application Link Enabling:
- Statistical setup: partner
system
In the case of
distributed systems, if you set this indicator, only the
partner system will be set up, and not the local
one.
Here, you specify
the name of the system that is to be set up.
Further information
about
logical systems can be found in the Implementation Guide for
"Distribution (ALE)", under Cross-Application Components -> Distribution
(ALE) -> Basic Configuration -> Set up logical system.
