You Are Planning to Use Calculated Key Figures

1. You are planning to use Calculated Key Figures. Which of the following statements are true?

• Calculated Key Figures can be stored at Infoprovider level. (correct answer, your response)

• Calculated Key Figures can be stored in the PSA• Calculated Key Figures can be stored at Query level (correct answer, your response)• Calculated Key Figures stored at Query level can be reused (your response)

2.Feedback: In the Query Designer, you use formulae to recalculate the key figures in an InfoProvider so that you can reuse them. Calculated key figures consist of formula definitions containing basic key figures, restricted key figures or precalculated key figures.If you define a Calculated key figure at the InfoProvider level, you can use this calculated key figure in all queries based on this InfoProvider by moving the key figure into the rows or columns of the query using drag and drop.If you define a Calculated Key Figure at the Query level, it is valid only for the Query in question and cannot be reused.

Points earned: 0 out of 1

2. What is the effect of creating a CKF at InfoProvider level?

• Availability of basic key figures of the InfoProvider to be used in the calculation is limited.

• The CKF is available to and can be re-used in all queries created using the same InfoProvider. (correct answer, your response)

• The CKF is available to and can be re-used in all queries created regardless of the associated Infoprovider.

• One consistent definition is created (correct answer)• Multiple points of access for easy maintenance (your response)

3.Feedback: You can use the calculated key figure defined at InfoProvider level in all queries based on this InfoProvider by moving the key figure into the rows or columns of the query using drag and drop. The calculated key figure is not an actual element of this query; it is a placeholder that references the calculated key figure in the InfoProvider.This provides a consistent definition for all query developers.


3. The processing type ‘Replacement path’ can only be used with certain variables. These are:

• Hierarchy variables• text variables (correct answer, your response)• Characteristic variables (correct answer, your response)• Hierarchy Node variables• Formula variables (correct answer, your response)

4.Feedback: You use the Replacement Path processing type to specify the value that automatically replaces the variable when you execute the query or Web application.

The following options are available:Replace with Characteristic ValueText and formula variables with the processing type Replacement Path can be replaced with a corresponding characteristic value. In the variable editor, on the General tab page, you specify under Reference Characteristic the characteristic that is to be referenced by the replacement. On the Replacement Path tab page, you can choose whether the variable is replaced with the From or the To Value and with the Key or the Name of the characteristic value. You can also specify the Offset Start and Offset Length for the output.Replace with QueryCharacteristic value variables with the processing type Replacement Path are replaced with the results of a query. In the variable editor, on the Replacement Path tab page, you select the query whose result you want to use as the variable. You can now process the data result of the selected query as a variable in a different query.Replace with VariableCharacteristic value variables, hierarchy variables, text variables, and formula variables with the Replacement Path processing type can take their values from a different variable.


4. You would like to analyze key figures that have a fixed time relationship to one another, e.g. you would like to compare the sales volume of the current time period with that of the same time period in a previous year. Which functionality enables you to do this?

• Look up• Customer Exit• Variable Offset (correct answer, your response)• Transformation rules

5.Feedback:

6. The figure below shows how the variable offset functionality is used.

5. With reference to conditions and exceptions, which of the following statements are true?

• A user can create (not merely activate) conditions and exceptions during query navigation within BEx Web Analyzer. (correct answer)

• Colors applied to the alert levels of an exception are fixed and cannot be changed/modified.

• Value for conditions and exceptions must always be fixed in the Query Designer.

• If several exceptions are used and active in one query and there is an overlap of value ranges between the different exceptions then only the first exception is applied to the results.

• None of the above (your response)6.

Feedback: Within the Web Analyzer, you can create exceptions on an as-needed basis using the Exception Wizard.You can define conditions in the BEx Query Designer, the BEx Analyzer, or in BEx Web applications.


6. While consolidating data for a multinational company with operations in several countries, you need to ensure that there is no duplication.

• Which type of elimination is performed for eliminating revenue between a country and partner country that are assigned to the same node of the country hierarchy?

• ICE_REV1• ICE_REV2 (correct answer)• ICE_REV3 (your response)• ICE_REV4

7.Feedback: ICE_REV2 elimination is performed for eliminating revenue between a country and partner country that are assigned to the same node of the country hierarchy.


7. What is the difference between a characteristic and a structure?

• Characteristic values are atomic whereas structures can be complex. (correct answer)• Structures cannot be aggregated. (correct answer, your response)• There are no differences

8.Feedback: Considered abstractly, you can think of a structure as a characteristic. However, the following differences exist between a characteristic and a structure:

9. Structural components can be complex objects (selections, formulas…) while characteristic values are atomic values.

10.

11. You cannot aggregate structures. For a characteristic, you can determine whether it can be aggregated or not. If a characteristic can be aggregated, the sum of the characteristic values is created automatically. Structural components cannot create sums.

12.

13. If a characteristic is in the drilldown, all posted characteristic values are displayed. Characteristic values that do not include posted values are not displayed. If a structural component does not include posted values, then the structural component is always displayed, and the respective cells for this structural component are empty and have no numbers.

14.

Note:The number of structural components in a structure is restricted to 999.


8. While using aggregate levels, BI imposes some restrictions, such as:

• At least one key figure and one characteristic have to be included in the aggregation level. (correct answer, your response)

• At least one key figure has to be included in the aggregation level, but no characteristic may be included.

• At least one characteristic has to be included in the aggregation level, but no key figure may be included.

9.Feedback: The complete set of conditions that apply to aggregation level is as below:

o At least one key figure and one characteristic have to be included in the aggregation level.

o The key figures used have to have the database aggregations SUM, MIN or MAX. With MIN or MAX, key figure values can only be displayed. They cannot be changed using manual planning or planning functions.

o For key figures of type date or time, only the data type ‘DEC’ is supported.

o Referencing key figures (and thus also non-cumulative key figures or elimination of internal business volume) are not supported in aggregation layers.

o If a characteristic is compounded and used in an aggregation level, the aggregation level must also contain all compounding "parent" characteristics.

o If a key figure is used in an aggregation level and does not have a fixed unit of measure or currency, the aggregation level must contain the associated characteristic for the unit.

o If a key figure with exception aggregation is used in an aggregation level, the aggregation level must also contain the characteristic for exception aggregation if it occurs in the underlying InfoProvider.

o The aggregation level inherits a navigation attribute from the underlying InfoProvider if it includes the basic characteristic of the navigation attribute. Note that the navigation attribute for an aggregation level is not visible in the Planning Modeller. It is only visible in the Query Designer.

o An aggregation level cannot be created on MultiProviders if a characteristic of an InfoProvider contained in the MultiProvider supplies two different characteristics in the MultiProvider.

o If a characteristic on the InfoProvider that serves as the basis for an aggregation level is constant, this characteristic has to be included in the aggregation level.


9. You want to revaluate the transaction data in your InfoProviders by a factor of 10%. However, you only want to perform the revaluation for certain groups of customers. To do this, you create a filter that contains the group of customers for which you want to revaluate data.

• True (correct answer, your response)• False

10.Feedback: A filter is an object that describes a multidimensional segment of data from a data set. Filters are used in reporting, analysis and planning, for example, to restrict data to a certain business area, certain product groups or certain time periods. You segment data in this way so that users or user groups only have access to the data that is relevant to them or so that only certain data areas are available within an application scenario.

Within BI Integrated Planning, filters determine the selection of data upon which a planning function is executed. A planning sequence comprises a set of planning functions. A filter is assigned to each of these functions


10. You can define an input-ready query on any of the following InfoProviders:

• MultiProviders without any aggregation level (your response)

• Multiproviders with at least one simple aggregation level (correct answer, your response)

• Aggregation levels (correct answer, your response)11.

Feedback: You can define an input-ready query on any of the following InfoProviders:

o Aggregation levels (see Aggregation Levels)

o MultiProviders that include at least one simple aggregation level

The aggregation levels are created in the planning modeller; MultiProviders are defined in the modelling functional area of the Data Warehousing Workbench.


11. Planning applications are BI applications that are based on a planning model. Power users combine the objects of the planning model into an interactive planning application which allows data to be entered and changed automatically or manually by users.

• Planning model objects include: (your response)• InfoProviders with data (correct answer, your response)• Aggregation Levels (correct answer, your response)• Input-ready queries (correct answer)• Key Figures

12.Feedback: Planning model objects include:

o InfoProviders that contain data (see InfoProviders)

o Aggregation levels as InfoProviders which provide a set of data with a particular level of granularity for data entry and change (see Aggregation Levels)

o Input-ready queries which allow you to make manual entries for the aggregation level (see Input-Ready Queries)

o Planning functions which allow automated changes to be made to data in the aggregation level and therefore model a part of the data flow (see Planning Functions).

In addition, planning sequences can belong to the planning model.


12. When a user requests transaction data in change mode, this data has to be locked exclusively for the user.

• All the records in the selection are locked (correct answer, your response)

• For characteristics within the aggregation level, all data records are locked. (correct answer, your response)

• If the selection table is empty, each data record is locked. (correct answer)13.

Feedback: The following rules apply:

o All the records in the selection are locked.

o If the selection table is empty, each data record is locked since no restrictions exist.

o For characteristics outside the aggregation level, selection * (all) is always locked.


13. Which of the following statements are true?

• The BW Extended Star Schema does not permit the storage of external hierarchies.

• Master Data tables in BW’s Extended Star Schema allow structured access via external hierarchies. (correct answer)

• It is possible to store multi-language texts with BW’s Extended Star Schema (correct answer, your response)

• In BW’s Extended Star Schema only characteristics of the Dimension Tables can be used to access facts. (your response)

14.Feedback:

15. The diagram shows a schematic figure of the star schema. As shown above access to external hierarchies is possible in the star schema.Texts can be stored in multiple languages.Characteristics of the Dimension tables as well as navigational characteristics can be used to access facts.

16.


14. When replicating an SAP DataSource, you can request metadata at various levels, including:

• InfoCube level• Application component level (correct answer, your response)• Source system level (correct answer, your response)• DataSource level. (correct answer, your response)

15.Feedback: Depending on your requirements, you can replicate into the BI system either the entire metadata of an SAP source system (application component hierarchy and DataSources), the DataSource of an application component in a source system, or individual DataSources of a source system.

When you create an SAP source system, an automatic replication of the metadata takes place.

Whenever there is a data request, an automatic replication of the DataSource takes place if the DataSource in the source system has changed.


15. The dataflow in the BI NW7.0 system is:

• True (correct answer)• False (your response)

16.Feedback:

17. Refer the diagram below:

18.


16. Flexible data staging is invalid for the following types of InfoSources.

• Transaction Data (your response)• Master Data• Text Data• Hierarchy Data (correct answer)• None of the above

17.Feedback: Flexible staging is only possible for data models with 3.x objects.It is only possible for flat structures. You cannot transfer hierarchy data.


17. SAP Business Intelligence delivers preconfigured objects under the collective term “BI Content”. In this context, which of the following statements are true?

• BI Content is a preconfigured set of role and task-related information models that are based on consistent metadata in SAP Business Intelligence. (correct answer)

• BI Content can be used in specific industries without the need to modify it. (correct answer, your response)

• BI Content includes integral roles, workbooks, queries, InfoSources, InfoCubes, DataStore objects, key figures, characteristics, (correct answer, your response)

18.Feedback: BI Content is delivered as an add-on to SAP BI. The full name for this is SAPNetWeaver 7.0 BI Content Add-On 4 - SP06. It is a preconfigured set of role and task-related information models that are based on consistent metadata in SAP Business Intelligence. BI Content provides selected roles within a company with the information that the roles need to perform their tasks.

This information model includes integral roles, workbooks, queries, InfoSources, InfoCubes, DataStore objects, key figures, characteristics, update rules, and extractors for SAP applications.

BI Content can:

• be used in specific industries without the need to modify it

• be adapted so that you can work with it to any degree of detail

• serve as a template or as an example for customer-defined BI Content.

SAP Business Intelligence also includes Demo Content, providing example data that can be used as display material.

BI Content includes:

• Extractor programs for SAP systems

• DataSources

• Process chains

• InfoObjects

• InfoSources

• InfoProviders (InfoCubes and DataStore objects)

• Variables

• Data mining models

• Queries

• Workbooks

• Web templates

• Roles

• Aggregation level

• Planning function

• Planning function type


18. The data in the DataStore Object is stored in transparent, flat database tables.

• True (correct answer, your response)• False

19.Feedback: Unlike multidimensional data storage using InfoCubes, the data in DataStore objects is stored in transparent, flat database tables. The system does not create fact tables or dimension tables.


19. When should the tools for generic data extraction for creating a Datasource be used?

• After each plug-in installation• For all flat file loads• If it is not possible to create IDOCs on your system

• When business content does not include a Datasource for your application (correct answer, your response)

• When the extractor programs are upgraded to a new release20.

Feedback: The application-specific extractors are hard-coded for the DataSource that was delivered with BI Content. If the Business content does not include a Datasource for your application, you should use a generic extractor.

Regardless of the specific application, you can use generic data extraction to extract data from any transparent tables, database views or SAP Query functional areas. You do not need to program in ABAP. You can also use function modules for generic data extraction.

In this way, you can use your own DataSources for transaction data, master data attributes or texts. The data for such DataSources is read generically and then transferred into BI.


20. What is meant by pseudo (fake) delta?

• The deletion and reloading of a selected amount of data within a data target. (correct answer)

• The deletion and reloading of all data within a data target.• None of the above (your response)

21.Feedback:

22. Refer the Diagram below:
