Map the concept with the definition, on the right: Transformation Rule Rule Type Transformation Type Rule Group.
Example of a use of a Start Routine: Deletion of records not required for updating. After determining 'Material Category' for particular material, material of type 'Refund' is not updated. Validation of checks of records after tranformations When want to place an operation where there are not sufficient functions available.
Example of a use of an End Routine: To change date format from yyyy/mm/dd to name_of_day/name_of_month/yyyy Buffering tables into internal tables that can be used for transformation rules After determining "Country of birth" of an employee, every country of type "Large" is not updated. Deletion of records not required for updating after PSA is filled.
Currency translation... ...allows you to translate data records from the source currency to the target currency in the data target. ...is always available for transformation purposes ...is normally performed using predefined translation types ...exists when both the source and the target key figure currency are fixed.
You should use a Central Units of Measure (T006) to get conversion factors when... ...you want conversions within the same dimension ...you have InfoObject-specific conversions between units of different dimensions ...if most of the source and the target unit of measure belong to the same dimension ...if most of the source and the target unit of measure don't belong to the same dimension.
You should use a referrence InfoObject to get conversion factors when... ...you want conversions within the same dimension ...you have InfoObject-specific conversions between units of different dimensions ...if most of the source and the target unit of measure belong to the same dimension ...if most of the source and the target unit of measure don't belong to the same dimension.

In BW 3.X, the Infopackage can be used to: Request data from the source system Distribute data within BI Define the fields to be extracted Separate data before going into an InfoSource.
The following is true about migrating a 3.X DataSource to a 7.X It is mandatory nowadays. In the original system, a DataSource is generated The 3.X DataSource, the metadata objects and the transfer structure are deleted Any InfoPackage or PSA existent in the 3.X are replaced After migration, only the information about how data is loaded into the PSA is used in the InfoPackage.
In releases prior to SAP NetWeaver 2004s: There were more than one data flow approach between two persistent objects a Transfer Rule, a DSO and an Update rule stood between a source and a target object There was just one data flow approach between two persistent objects a Transfer Rule, an InfoSource and an Update rule stood between a source and a target object.
The following tasks are recommended, if not mandatory before migration to 7.X takes place: Activate the 3.X Datasource Populate the PSA of the 3.X Datasource Perform emulation Transport the migrated DataSource.
You can perform migration of a 3.X DataSource in the standard way for XML DataSources: True False.
Virtual Providers, used in the "Direct Access" functionality are: InfoObjects with master data that is stored in the object itself InfoObjects with master data that is not stored in the object itself InfoProviders with transactional data that is not stored in the object itself InfoProviders with transactional data that is stored in the object itself.
For Direct Access, the following "types" of Virtual Providers (VP) are available: VP based on Data Transfer Processes VP with BAPIs VP with function modules VP using Web Service VP with Data Services.
In direct access, use a Virtual Provider based on a DTP if: You only need historical data from SAP Source System You only access small data from time to time Few users will execute queries simultaneously on the database You have a DSO and an IC in the dataflow.

If you have small hierarchies that do not usually change, in BEx Queries, you can use direct access True False.
Prerequisits you have to fulfill to model dataflows for hierarchies with direct access: Place hierarchies in the respective InfoObject Enhance the Source System for 7.02 version or higher Release 7.X DataSources for Direct Access Assign the InfoObject to an InfoArea.
In regard to Datasources, if you want to use Real-time data acquisition (RDA), you need to: Ensure that BI Content DataSources support RDA Select the 'Real-Time Enabl.' indicator in the case of generic datasources Migrate all 3.X DataSources Enable transformations to incorporate RDA.
Real-time data acquisition (RDA) can be used in two primary scenarios: via Service-API via Web Service via Data Services using a Virtual Provider to access data faster.
In real-time data acquisition, the navigational attributes of a characteristic in aggregates cannot be used... ...because they cannot read to real-time updates ...because characteristics do not support navigational attributes ...because navigational attributes can only be used in a 3.x dataflow ...because drill down is not necessary for navigational attributes.
Which one is true about daemons: A daemon is a background process that processes the IP and DTP assigned to it at regular intervals Extracts data from the source system, and transfers it to the PSA table and DSO Informs the Service-API in the Source system when the data for the Source System has been successfully updated. Works as a trigger for initializing the Real-time Data-Acquisition process.
With Real-Time data acquisition, the PSA, DSO, and change log requests remain open across several load processes. True False.

All objects in BI content are available in version A M D G.
What happens when you activate an object in M version? An object of G version is generated and "replaces" the older, A version of that object. The older, A version of that object is "replaced". The corresponding objects are generated in the ABAP Dictionary and programs The corresponding objects are generated in the SAP Library.
Link the step with its correct order in the process of transferring BI Content objects 1st 2nd 3rd.
BI Content DataSources can be transferred in 2 ways: Transfer and activate via SBIW in the Source System Activate Datasources remotely from the BW (subject to authorization check) Activate daemon to transfer field Datasources from the Source System Use RFC connection in BW to transfer.
