General presentation

Objective of the application

This application is not really a BW application, but a collection of DSO to provide data to an external tool nammed pVelocity.

pVelocity is a tool which help the Novecare GBU to optimize their Assets.

In BW, we extract the data from RCS and then generate flat files on a WBP folder and it is the pVelocity tool which is transfering the file from BW to pVelo.

IT Learder is now Nathalie Manirakiza in the IS-RtR team

The Tool Leader is in the Novecare GBU.

The reporting coordinator is Sandrine Micollet

 

Usage information

There is around 50 users on pVelocity tool WW, all working in the Novecare GBU.

They are Asset Manager, Industrial manager and also financial controlers.

History

This project was launch using BW as Hub because the pVelocity team was not allowed to extract data directly from RCS (WP1).

It was a kind of shadow project.

Roles & Access

There is no direct usage of the BW infoproviders, so no roles nor authorizations.


Dataflow overview

The data flow is very simple because in the main cases, it re-use existaing DSO which are already loaded for other applications.

Then an abap program generates the files in a text format.

The namming rule for the files is a prefix represented the content of the file, then "–" and then a timestamp, which is the dateTime (YYYMMDDHHMMSS)

Functional and Technical rules on Workbench + Reporting

Rules & Explanations

Detail of main topics with explanations of the rules and only the main + special rules about queries to run and use in the correct way

Dependencies with other applications

Dependencies with other application (BW, QV, Externals tools like PVelocity or Dynasis etc...

Data loadings

Info providers and objects loaded

Detail of process chain, list + link between or special event done for the loading

Loading frequency

Detail of frequency : monthly; weekly or else

Average performance

if possible, give some information on average process chain duration, amount of data loaded and total data volume example: daily process chain loaded in 30 min, weekly chain loaded in 1h15, with around 2k to 10k lines in DELTA mode for a total of 10M lines in cube. The purpose is to give a general overview of the volume of data managed y the application

 

Key FigureEstimation
~ Average Process Chain Runtime 
~ Average nb of rows loaded per load 
~ Total nb of rows loaded (if full) 
~ Average Runtime for 10k lines 

Record Keeping

Give details if any historisation is done, example: keep only data greater than beginning of Y-3

Reporting

Queries End User Documentation

Query end user documentation should be created in the public "Customer Support Wiki" space under the corresponding BW application page : BW - Application. Technical query query documentation, if necessary should be added as a sub-page of this documentation using the BW Technical Query Documentation template.
