There are couples of great applications available on
SDN provided by SAP’s RIG organization. RIG is abbreviation of SAP NetWeaver
Regional Implementation Group (RIG). It is a part of the SAP Development
organization. The purpose of RIG is to help SAP customers and partners with
implementation of SAP solutions. Usually they are dealing with SAP NetWeaver
components as BW/BO/ABAP/NetWeaver/WAS/basis/PI.
RIG’s guys used to contribute to SDN as well by
providing step-by-step guides deploying some additional functionality. Just to
name some of those how 2 documents; there is a “Load
a File into SAP NetWeaver BI Integrated Planning”
provided by Marc Bernard. I experienced that this nice piece of webdynpro
for ABAP code and BW-IP
objects is heavily used within customers. Basically what it does is to enable
your business users to easily load e.g. planning data from flat files into your
planning application in SAP BW.
However have you ever wondered either application like
this is supported by SAP? To tell you the truth they are not. I just came
across interesting SAP Note (1588518
- How-to Load a File into BW-Integrated Planning)
which is particularly discussing this data uploading application. Here’s quote
from the note:
Please
note that there is no standard support for how-to papers (see small-print of
all SAP NetWeaver How-to Guides). For this specific guide, please ask the
customer to post further questions to the corresponding SDN forum or blog… For high priority
customers, you may contact the author of the how-to guide (Marc Bernard).
So that’s it. Be careful while asking SAP to help you
with that.
PS: I would like to thank to Mark within this post as well for great solution delivered.
