Deactivating data slices via an exit function?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I want to set up some initialization function to prefill a Forecast cube, which holds some data slices. My idea was to deactivate all slices in step 1, then do the copy, then activate all slices again. Does anyone know if this is possible from a BPS exit function?

Many thanks in advance,

Andreas

Hi,

another solution is to implement a new planning function type for either locking ur unlocking a certain set of keyfigures. A runtime version is used in a planning function. Using this kind of extension one could write the keyfigures to lock into a DSO with direct write access. A derived version of the sample BASE_EXIT that one can use asa means of a customer exit is then enabled as a dataslice. This extension will lookup the proper values in the DSO and return "locked" or "not locked" whenever a row is accessed. Using a DSO for storing this information, one can also monitor the lock state of a certain set of keyfigures by adding it to a multiprovider.

Would it be possible to also get a copy of the code for activation/deactivation of data slices. I would like to enable users to dynamically set / reset the data slices via the web. ( re: above posting from depr ).

Thanks very much.

Hi Andreas,

If i understand your requirements right...you need a functionality to deactivate your data slice first, do some operations and activate it again through a BPS exit function.So in order to achieve this you could have an Exit type variable in the Data slice selection ,which would set/reset a gloabal/local flag which you intern activate/deactivate your data slice. i hope i am clear ...i had a similar requirement and i implmented it this way.

Sai,

Is it possible to get the dataslice exit function? I have the same requirement and it would help.

Hallo Andreas,

Definitely you could (de)activiate selected (or all) dataslices anytime. You have to have these information:

1) Planningarea

2) List of data slices

And with help of table "UPC_DATASLICE" you could at runtime activate/deactivate the selected dataslices.

Best regards!

<i>I wrote a report that automated the activation/deactivation of data slices! Write back with mail id when you wish to have it</i>

It's better not to use upc_dataslice table directly.

Preferred way is to use function modules from upc_dataslice function group.

Dear all,

do you implement this functionality by using bps exits or through running a classic abap report? Is it possible to tunning through a planning function type exit and to call it for a planning folder? (so that the end user decide for activation or not of data slice).

Dear All,

I have the same issue and want to deactivate and activate data slices via an exit function.

As upc_dataslice function group does not provide any documentation, can you please give me a hint which functions to use and how to.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Can I deactivate all slices,and then do the copy, then activate all slices again. is this possible in bi-ip?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi Chinna,

I wonder, if you could make that activate/deactivate in BI-IP ? I would be glad to learn that also.

Thanks in advance,
