Questions The following are the areas where most questions were from and there can be repetition.

My Experience or brain dump The questions were divided into the following topics: 1. Data warehousing , Modeling , Architecture (around 30 questions) 2. Bex Tools (WAD , Web analyzer, Work books, Query Designer) around 25 questions 3. Integrated Planning 4. APD 4 questions 5. One section covering Process Chain, Broadcasting ( around 10 questions) 6. Authorizations 4 questions 7. Planning query, function, variables, locks around 10 questions There were 2 types of questions some with single answers (radio Button) and others with multiple selection ( have to choose true/false for each) Its better to (use the Mark option) if in doubt and proceed to next one, then revisit the questions later . At the end I had ample time to revisit the questions. Also there were very few direct questions, so need to read the options several time to understand. Majority of the questions are on applying the concepts. The questions were very short, but the options were very descriptive, so very hard to understand what it really mean. The question patterns were like the PDF we had for BW3.5. There were no questions on trans code , tables , funny authorization objects like Tabulin etc.. There were no questions from LO extraction, Based on the questions I had , concentrate on the following (no implied warranty)

1. TBW10 and 45 Star schema architecture, DSO , aggregates , RDA , Data

sources (extract structure etc..) , data sources in BI content (activation), Direct Access . BI accelerator, Infosets (temporal join) 2. TBW20 (many were scenario based eg; report to find average age of employee OR when exception aggregation is used ) , 70R( all the new features very important ) 3. Integrated Planning defining aggregation level simple & complex, Char Relationship (read an understand the concept) , Planning sequence. Many questions were like how do you explain the these new features to you team members. Questions and Topics 1. BEX worksheets What happens when detach a query from a worksheet What happens when 2 queries are in same worksheet and you drill down on the first query What are templates in worksheets? Can we embed report designer reports on worksheets?

2. Constant selection Can we set it on/off at report level? Drill down and filtering has no effect on the constant selection There were other 2 confusing stmts? 3. Exception aggregation a. What is the relation of exception aggregation when defining an aggregate having that reference characteristic b. Scenario about finding average age of employees in the org? how exception aggregation can help there? c. Defining the average age as a CKF in the fact table? Is it the only way to model the scenario d. 4. Local structure and Global structureremember all the aspects 5. WAD a. Command wizard is activated in which all cases b. Properties tab c. Web template as a web itemwhat all can be done when web template is added as a web item. Is there any limitation? Can it be used to add header and footer in a web application. 6. Variables : What is the relation of authorization and $ .When is $ variable used. Customer exit in relation with charaterictic relationships in IP. All types of authorizations variables and types 7. Integrated Planning , BPS locking Planning function and Planning sequence scenarios What is can be changed Nested aggregation level scenarios Planning functions of Distribution and Copy on a multi provider with a real-time cube and standard cube (Actual Data). All the possible combinations of putting an aggregation level above and below of multiprovider were given. Relation of STS and BPS Use of STS All ways in which characteristic relationship can be developed. Can variables be used while entering data in Planning sequence for an input enabled query. 8. Report Designer: Why is it requiredsome 4 scenarios were given and 1 was wrong. 9. BIA Scenarios for using BIA: 1. have a query with millions and billions of records 2. have a formatted report with thousand rows 3. for getting data from aggregates in a faster way. 4. for getting data from DSO in a faster way. 10. There were other 2-3 simple questions on BIA 11. Aggregates Roll up scenariosmaster data change or when data is loaded into parent infocube. Change run scenarios .time dependant master data. Aggregate hierarchywhat can be done once u generate proposals What is aggregation factor. In which of the cases u should go for aggregates.

12. Extraction methods of a generic data source. Function module, table/view, Infoset query, delta queue for delta extraction. 13. Infosource in 3x. what is the relation with PSA, datasource and communcation structure 14. When is Infosource used in BI 7 scenario. 15. Views in a process chain 16. What are various scheduling options for Information broadcaster 17. Which of the output formats is wrong?ALV 18. RDA. Can we have a RDA for file system ,web sources 19. what are various data sources for web sources? XML for analyses,XML ,webdatasources, internet shopping cart. 20. UDI has java SDK,UD connector and some other 2 choices were there. 21. which technique do u use for 80-20 analysis? 22. what can be possible inputs for a linear regression? Options: source system, PSA, output of a decision tree, Infocube 23. data marts are used for catering to a particular business unit in an organization 24. use of Open hub destinationsome scenarios were given. 25. SID concepts and all possible ways to use a SID 26. temporal join usesome scenarios were given. 27. multiprovider can be made from what all combinations 28. Infosets can be made from what all combinations. 29. Generated characteristics in above two..there were separate bonus questions on this one. 30. Infoprovider is charateristic with master data, all infoobjects, attribute only charateristic. 31. Query performance 32. Email busrting ..is it an performance enhancement in web reports 33. For uploading data from flat file..does it always need tobe separated with commas? 34. hierarchy authorizations scenarios

There are many district, District has many sales person. Sales person are moved from one district to another. But at one point of time one salesperson is attached to one district only. How would you model it ? - Characteristics district with sales person as time dependent attribute - Characteristic sales person with time dependent district - Characteristic district with sales person as a navigational attribute - Characteristic district with time dependent hierarchy of salesperson. - Characteristic district with version dependent hierarchy of sales person. Ad hoc query replaced by Web analyzer WAD Visual composer WAD can get data from ? (we know query / query view / infoprovider) but options were BEx analyzer query view Bex Web query view Data provider

Info provider query BIA - for every aggregate an index is created - its a snap-in device - it is based on T-Rex technology - there is 1:1 relationship between info-object and index Aggregate - Reporting possible when switched off. - Data deleted when deactivated. - Aggregate AB can have data even if parent aggregate ABC have none. - Aggregate can comprise of time dependent navigation attributes and time dependent hierarchies. - Aggregate can comprise of time independent navigation and time independent hierarchies Planning - Multiprovider based on aggregation level. Aggregation level based on real-time info cube and standard cube. Distribution function written on multiprovider will provide for the planning scenario. - Aggregation level based on multiprovider which is based on 2 standard info cubes. Aggregation level based on multiprovider can help you plan. - Aggregation level based on multiprovider based on real-time cube and standard cube can help you plan a query. Company has 80% of its business coming from 20% of its companies ? what analysis Abc analysis / cluster / hierarchy etc.. Bex Maps ? How many characteristics should be defined as GEO ? Bex Maps are used for Charts / ZOOMING DETAIL LEVELbasically Bex maps used for ?????? Master data can be reported from infosets Object maintenance screen of DSO Valid type of Broadcasting output BIA different scenario when it is used , how the query executed after implementing BIA (refer book) Query Property - Hide results with zero value APD targets , APD techniques clustering , ABC analysis , Association analysis etc (refer e-learning) Properties of Delta Fact table contain ---Webservice Push mechanism when it will be based many scenarios (eg: more number of records , less number of records , flat file) UD connect Connectors XML/dbo/jdbc , odbo Web template , Charts , Command Wizard , Analysis Grid , type of data provider Detach a Query , remove a query , delete a query from Workbook Usage of BI statistics Cell Editor , report Designer Static/Dynamic Line Item Dimension - scenario based (number of records in dimension table is almost equal to the number of records in Fact table ) Bi Administrator Cockpit
