Applies to Sap Strategy Management 10.0 and 7.5
To modify the frequency of a KPI from code (after creation) is done by typing the command:
SET VARIABLE variables periodicity list
Example: you wanted to change to semester a list of KPIs that were created in cube builder quarterly, for that the following is typed:
SET VARIABLE KPI1_ACT, KPI1_TAR, KPI2_ACT, KPI2_TAR semiannual
The possible recurrence options:
It's been a while but my recollection is that this changes the display but not the actual periodicity. What I mean is that when a variable is created its periodicity is fixed, e.g.
"Create monthly myvariable by product sum"
The command "Set myvariable quarterly" will cause it to display data by quarters. However the load of data still has to be monthly.
Furthermore SSM can use only a subset of the native PAS periodicities.
