Streamlining Process with SAP’s Mass Maintenance Order Confirmation: A Guide to Efficient Order Confirmation

Introduction:

In a manufacturing environment, maintenance orders are crucial to ensure the smooth operation of equipment and machinery. Tracking the progress of maintenance orders and confirming their completion is essential to maintain efficient operations. SAP Fiori provides a user-friendly interface that allows users to perform tasks quickly and easily, including the Mass Maintenance Orders and Operations tool. In this blog, we will discuss the steps involved in using this tool in SAP Fiori.

Steps:

The first step is to access the Create Maintenance Order app in SAP Fiori. You can do this by logging in to SAP Fiori Launchpad and searching for the app in the App Finder. Once you have found the app, click on it to open it.

Connect SAP Web Intelligence to HANA Cloud with just two steps

Yes, it is so easy to connect SAP Web Intelligence to an SAP HANA Cloud tenant into just two steps.

In this blog post, I want to share how we can work with SAP HANA Cloud and SAP Web Intelligence to create BI reports on HANA calculation views with a Step-by-Step approach.

I will split this blog post into two sections:

◉ Creating a OLAP connection to SAP HANA Cloud

◉ Consuming HANA Calculation Views from SAP HANA Cloud

How to handle thousands of orders per day from different origins in one route plan

Introduction

Without doubt, it is planning and dispatching that makes the economic difference for a service organization. Given economically solid contracts and under the assumption that all subsequent execution and billing / collection activities are performed well this statement is very true. The specific challenge for efficient logistical operations is that each order may consist of numerous tasks which – in the end – will have to result in a plan combining the tasks in optimally arranged routes fully serving each customer across service orders. 

Given that fact, PROLOGA decided to build the new Industry Solutions by PROLOGA – Planning and Dispatching as the first solution component in a next generation product portfolio.

SAP Datasphere – SAP Data Provisioning Agent Upgrade

Introduction:

This blog is about updating the SAP Data Provisioning agent which is also known as “DP Agent” (On windows). The Data Provisioning Agent provides secure connectivity between the SAP HANA database and you’re on premise, adapter-based sources. The DP Agent control all SAP HANA smart data integration (SDI) Adapters and connections to HANA database. It acts as the communication interface between HANA and the Adapter.

SAP Datasphere allows you to use SAP HANA smart data integration (SDI) and its Data Provisioning Agent to enable on-premise connections. To do this, you first have to download and install the SDI Data Provisioning agent to a network location from which it can establish HTTPS connections to SAP HANA on Cloud.

OData annotations in SEGW with example and consume it in visual studio to create a fiori application

Introduction

In this blog you will understand how to create Odata annotations in SEGW with example and consume the service in visual studio and display the output in fiori launchpad.

When ever you are adding annotations to odata service in segw we are suppose to write the coding in MPC_EXT class inside DEFINE METHOD( you have to redefine this method).

Usually we write annotations in CDS view and then consume it in odata service but in this blog you will see an example of creating annotations in segw.

Shelf-Life Planning within SAP IBP Response & Supply Planning

Overview

◉ Shelf-Life Planning is a feature introduced as part of SAP IBP 2211 release within the Response & Supply Planning module (Order-based planning). In order to use this feature, the IBP Planning Area must be based on the SAP7F model entity and use RTI for data integration between IBP and S/4 (or ECC) systems.

◉ It’s a critical feature for companies that manage the shelf life of their products, therefore it is addressing industries that deal with perishable goods such as Pharmaceuticals, Food and Beverages, and Chemicals.

Run SAP on VMware in IBM Cloud

VMware as a leader in the virtualization industry is obviously the first choice when it comes to running SAP on an elastic, agile, complete (top to bottom) and certified virtualized platform.

Most likely when we look at a running SAP workload on VMware, we will intuitively think of running workload on-premise or private data center … Well, it makes sense, but it is not the only option for VMware.

Thanks to the strong partnership between VMware, IBM and SAP, customers can operate their SAP workload in IBM Cloud on VMware in a fully certified environment !! which is a unique offer in the cloud industry.

Summary about Table Function and Analytical Privilege in SAP HANA

1. Table function: Table function is a piece of code written is SQL script in HANA which used to return data as a tabular format after calculating a business scenario logic. Complex logic can be can be combined with Application Function Library – AFL giving even more functions for complex analysis. Is is acting as a read only procedure.

Compute intersection size with HANA spatial data

Imagine you were given a map divided into blocks, with a lake marked on it. And now you’re supposed to decide to which block this lake belongs.

Achieve full Traceability in your SAP projects by using Focused Build tool.

Want traceability in your sap projects?

Consider implementing Focused Build because traceability is built in. Focused Build tool makes all processes, activities, and outputs traceable in an SAP implementation.

Often overlooked as tedious and costly, yet traceability is important for Value tracking and Targeting value. Traceability is the ability to trace Backlog from its inception to delivery and through all stages of development, testing and deployment.

The capability to trace backlog depends largely on the tools in place. Maintaining traceability reports without tools could be very expensive and often becomes unreliable because of the need for constant manual updates.

Calculation View Features of SAP HANA 2.0 SPS07

With the release of SAP Web IDE SPS07 and HANA 2.0 SPS07, new features in the area of calculation view modeling will become available that had only been released in SAP HANA Cloud before.

Below is a short description of newly released features. For examples of the individual features have a look at the respective project “SPS07_Selected_Calculation_View_Modeling_Features” that can be found here.

Basic of AMDP script and implement a SAP BW transformation logic using AMDP script

Today, I am going to discuss the basic of AMDP script and implement a SAP BW transformation logic using AMDP script.

First question is what is AMDP script and why we will use AMDP instead of normal AMAP script for different types of routine like Start End and expert routine.

AMDP is ABAP managed Database Procedure which used to run in HANA runtime. All the database logic push to the database level for execution. In the other hand the ABAP procedure execute the logic in the ABAP layer inside ABAP runtime environment.
