BW Staging Cube BCS Cube

Hi all
we have a situaton that transactional data is not getting from BW Cube to BCS Cube and we are using BCS_C50 based on Company consolidation with Dimension - 01
Relevant config has been done from Data basis , Source Databasis and Load Data Stream Method.
>> We need to do planning outside BCS cube and hence maintained copy of BCS Cube as BW Staging Cube>>>>
Co Codes Mapped with Consolidation Units and GL Accounts and Consolidation Items are same.
LDSM:
Constant Values: Dimension,Cons COA,Version
Please let me know if you have any ideas /thoughts and your suggestions are highly appreciated
Thanks
Ramana

Hi Eugene
Thanks for Your Quick Reply/Suggestion.
Yes, I am using Version: 100( BW Staging Cube and BCS Cube)
We need to bring Period values from ECC to BW Cube and Our Consol Freq is MONTHLY.
any thoughts are really appreciated
thanks
Ramana

BW BCS cube(0bcs_vc10 ) Report huge performance issue

Hi Masters,
I am working out for a solution for BW report developed in 0bcs_vc10 virtual cube.
Some of the querys is taking more 15 to 20 minutes to execute the report.
This is huge performance issue. We are using BW 3.5, and report devloped in bex and published thru portal. Any one faced similar problem please advise how you tackle this issue. Please give the detail analysis approach how you resolved this issue.
Current service pack we are using is
SAP_BW 350 0016 SAPKW35016
FINBASIS 300 0012 SAPK-30012INFINBASIS
BI_CONT 353 0008 SAPKIBIFP8
SEM-BW 400 0012 SAPKGS4012
Best of Luck
Chris

Ravi,
I already did that, it is not helping me much for the performance. Reports are taking 15 t0 20 minutes. I wanted any body in this forum have the same issue how
they resolved it.

Report Does Not Display Data from Non-BCS Cube

Hi,
I have the following scenario.
I have a MultiProvider with two real-time cubes. Cube A is used to store Actual data and Cube B is used to store Budget data.
Cube A is used by BCS, so the real-time load behavior is set to "Real-Time Data Target Can Be Planned; Data Loading Not Alllowed".
Cube B is not used by BCS, so data is being loaded using BW InfoPackages, with real-time behavior set to "Re-Time Data Target Can Be Loaded With Data; Planning Not Allowed"
My BCS has two Consolidation Group hierarchy. One is for Legal reporting and another one is for Business Segment reporting. So, if I have a Consolidation Unit, COMPANY1, it would belong both hierarchies, e.g. LEGAL1 and BSEG1.
In my query, I have no problem displaying Actual data when I specified Reporting Mode (0BCS_REPMOD) = Standard. (S). However, Budget data does not get displayed. FYI, I have uploaded data twice for each record i.e. LEGAL1 and BSEG1 in the Cons Group (0SEM_CGCOMP) characteristic.
Any idea on how can I get the budget data displayed?
Thanks.

Hi,
Have you Identified Characteristics and Selected Key Figures:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/cf/bc734190ba137de10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Without proper construction of multiprovider you'll not be able to see both cubes.

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export. TX

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export with this script in photoshop For MAC:
Chris Cox wrote:
The file extensions are written by the export plugin. (which incidentally has a comment that two studios wanted all caps extensions, but I failed to write down which ones in the comments)
To change the filenames, you'd want to add something at the end of doExportLUTs() that uses the supplied path and substitutes the desired extensions, then renames the file.
Thank you

Data mart cube to cube copy records are not matching in target cube

hI EXPERTS,
Need help on the below questions for DATA Mart-Cube to cube copy(8M*)
Its BW 3.5 system
We have two financial cube.
Cube A1 - Sourced through R/3 system (delta update) and Cube B1- Sourced through A1 cube.(Full update). These two cubes are connected through update rules with one to one mapping without any routines.Basis did a copy of back-end R/3 system from Production to Quality server.This happened approximately 2 months back.
The Cube A1 which extracts delta load from R/3 is loading fine. but for the second cube, (extraction from previous cube A1) i am not getting full volume of data instead i m getting meagre value but the loading shows successful status in the monitor.
We tried through giving conditions in my infopackage (as it was given in previous year's loading) but then also its fetching the same meagre volume of data.
To ensure that is it happening for the particular cube, we tried out in other cube which are sourced thro myself system and that is also getting meagre data rather than full data..
For Example: For an employee if the data available is 1000, the system is extracting randomly some 200 records.
Any quick reply will be more helpful. Thanks

Hi Venkat,
Did you do any selective delitions in CUBEA1.
first reconcile data cube1 & cube2 .
match totals of cube1 with cube2.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Cube to cube data transferred ,and delta status

Hi Gurus
I need to do Portioning in cube
I have a cube Zaa_c01 which is updated by two data source ZDS1 and ZDS2 (Delta Update) I copy the Zaa_c01 and I created new cube Zaa_c02, also I transferred the data to that. But it is shoeing in single request in cube, after partion I again reloaded to ZAA_C01 , know I am seeing only single request in a cube.
Whether I lose delta in this case , or I am missing any step, this activity I done in Development, and need to do in production.
Regards
Shashi

Hai Shashidhar,
Partitioning is split the large dimensional cube into smaller cubes.... regarding performance point of view we have to do this partitioning.
there are two types of partitioning..
1. Logical Partitioning.
2.Physical Partitioning
physical partitioning is done at Database level . and logical partitioning done at Data target level.(EX: Info cube level)
Cube partitioning with time characteristics 0calmonth Fiscper is physical partitioning.(so, we need at leats one of the above time charecterstics for doing partioning...).
Logical partitioning is u partition ur cube by year or month that is u divide the cube into different cubes and create a multiprovider on top of it.
STEPS :
SELECT YOUR CUBE.. AND DOUBLE CLICK IT..->
in the menu's select EXTRAS menu--> in that select -->DB PERFORMANCE sub menu..-> in that again select Partitioning sub menu..
and specify how many partions you want to do...
but you cube should be contain atleast ocalmonth or phical varient should be there...
Prerequisites
You can only partition a dataset using one of the two partitioning criteria calendar month (0CALMONTH) or fiscal year/period (0FISCPER). At least one of the two InfoObjects must be contained in the InfoProvider.

Cube to Cube Poor Performance

Our situation is that we have our current situation - a long running weekly process - and a project that is in progress.
We are experiencing a long running load from 1 cue to another. I am looking for suggestions on decreasing this run time. Here are the details of the situation and what we have done to date.
We are on BW 3.5.
Our current long running process:
Cube A has approximately 258,000,000 records right now. (yes, we know its a lot, but we arent ready to redesign just yet we want to exhaust all possibilities before redesigning). It is dimensioned by material, plant, Sales Organization, and Customer, and Calendar Week.
Cube A is loaded daily with a delta from ODSs on APO. It contains forecasts for 2007, 2008, 2009.
Weekly, Cube A is loaded into Cube B. Cube B is dimensioned by material, plant, Sales Organization, and Customer, and Calendar Week. The data is the snapshot of forecasts for the current month + future 19 months.
The load from Cube A to Cube B takes 16 hours. The index to Cube B is deleted, Cube B is loaded from Cube A, the Cube B index is generated and overlapping requests are deleted. The load from Cube A to Cube B runs approximately 15 hours and is slowly increasing. Approximately 54,000,000 records get loaded from Cube A to Cube B.
Our Project:
Cube C will replace Cube B. Weekly, Cube A will load into Cube C. The grain of Cube C is higher than that of Cube B. Cube C is dimensioned by material, Sales Organization, and Customer, and Calendar Month. The data is the snapshot of forecasts for the current month + future 24 months. Also, when loading Cube C, in the start routine, we go and look up the price of a material in an ODS and then in the update rules, calculate a forecast sales amount by multiplying the price by the forecast cases. This extra step was not thought to have much of an effect on the processing.
Because our QA environment had limitations, we moved the new cube, Cube C, into production. When we attempted to load Cube A to Cube C for 0FISCPER = 2007011 2009011, it failed due to temp space. ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 2560 in tablespace PSAPTEMP. Our DBA suggested we chunk our data loads. That was a week ago Sunday. Since then we have done all of the following:
1. Data package size was 50,000. Selection FISCPER = 2007011 2008001 from Cube A to Cube C. Results: Manually cancelled after 1 day and 3 hours.
2. Changed data package size to 20,000. Selection FISCPER = 2007011 2008001 from Cube A to Cube C. We optimized our code Code optimized to load data package into internal table to get unique materials before reading ZMATERIAL table. Results: Completed in 7h 1m 29s. So for 3 months it took 7 hours. We need to load 24 months so estimated that would take almost 60 hours.not acceptable.
3. BASIS changed GLOBAL PARAMETER Maximum number of dialog processes for sending data changed from 3 to 5
4. We created Secondary indexes created for /BIC/PZMATERIAL and ZFSOPO51 on Material. Data package was at 20,000. Selection FISCPER = 2008002 2008003. Results: Completed in 5h 26m 6s. Still too long.
5. Loaded another 2 months and it completed successfully in a little over 5 hours.
6. We met with BASIS, DBA and Network/Disk team. Our conversations with them had us investigating the disk layout, spoke of LUNS, hot spots, Tier 2 all things that we thought would lead us to rearrange our disk.
7. We reviewed graphs showing I/O and CPU usage and compared them to our runs. We saw that that on the selection from Cube A our I/O spiked. Once the data was all selected, I/O dropped and it appeared that CPU was hit heavy then.
8. Conversations continued much of which was over my developer head
a. There appears that there is 9GB of unallocated memory. Theres action to split the 9GB of unallocated memory between the application (BW) and the database (Oracle).
b. Review the performance of the HBA
c. Has the Oracle systems processes been disabled in BWP? If not, disable that process.
9. We reviewed the index on Cube A and determined that it wasnt being used. We implemented OSS Note 561961 to never USE_FACTVIEW. That decreased the selection time on Cube A when we tested on our QA environment from 60 minutes to 15 minutes. However, the whole infopackage ended in the same time as when we hadnt known about the OSS Note. Selection FISCPER = 2007012
My next step is to build an aggregate off of Cube A that looks like the grain of Cube C and kick off a load of 1 month again - Selection FISCPER = 2007012
I will then compare this time against the other runs. If it is improved, Id like to run several infopackages at the same time, using different FISCPER Selections in each.
Other conversations/suggestions weve had was about compressing Cube A.
Weve also reviewed our weekly generated Service Reports. Nothing obvious jumps out at me there. I have also reviewed many of the performsnce presenatations on SDN and see that the CPUs usage can be reviewed, too. At this point I don't have access to some of the transactions.
Thanks you for reading and please repsond with your advice. I appreciate it.

Hi mary,
Check whether the Cube partition as per calday and Compress the cube.
And you can create Aggregates for the cube.
Let us know the status for the further info.

Cube to Cube "Error in data Selection" plz help

Hi this is Ajay Reddy
when am sending data from Cube to Cube am getting an error
"Error in data Selection" plz help

Hi,
It needs a Note implementaion. I got similar problem in version BIW 7 and SP 11. We got the solution with on of the note . I am not able to recollect the note number.

Cube to cube datamart in 3.5

I have built a cube to cube datamart and cannot determine how to initiate the load. When building a datamart with an ODS as the source, it is quite obvious (right-click ODS and select Update ODS Data in Data Target). However, this option does not exist in the case of a cube.
It's a one-time load of some historical data. I don't require scheduling of deltas. Just a single full load.I do however need selectability on a date field to exclude recent data.
Can someone please advise how to initiate this data load?
Many thanks,
Brett

Hi,
Go to the infosource tab in the RSA1 and search for 8(your infocube technical name).
Eg: if your source infocube 0tct_01 then search for 80tct_c01.
Create an infopackage on the 8.* ICtechnical name and schedule the load. This will load data from your source IC to Target IC.
If it is not clear please let me know.
Thanks

Data load taking very long time between cube to cube

Hi
In our system the data loading is taking very long time between cube to cube using DTP in BI7.0,
the maximum time consumption is happening at start of extraction step only, can anybody help in decreasing the start of extraction timing please
Thanks
Kiran

Kindly little bit Elaborate your issue, Like how is mapping between two cubes, Is it One to one mapping or any Routine is there in Transformation. Any Filter/ Routine in DTP. Also before loading data to Cube did you deleted Inedxes?

Delta update from cube to cube

How will be delta calculated for Cube to cube load, as in case of ODS changelog table.
Thanks in Adv
Shrish.

Hi
Regarding Generic Extraction:
You can find the Safety interval in R/3 -> RSO2 -> Data source -> Delta. Generally if the delta is based on calday option then it is 1 day and for timestamp based it depends on the data load frequency.
this is from help.
Safety Interval Upper Limit of Delta Selection
This field is used by DataSources that determine their delta generically using a repetitively-increasing field in the extract structure.
The field contains the discrepancy between the current maximum when the delta or delta init extraction took place and the data that has actually been read.
Leaving the value blank increases the risk that the system could not extract records arising during extraction.

Cube to Cube vs ODS to Cube good for loading performance

BW Experts,
I have an option of loading from Cube to Cube or ODS to Cube. It has data in 20 m records.
So in terms of performance of loading perspective, which one is better..
Thanks in advance,
BWer

Hi,
of course (but you didn't mention that the level of detail was different) it's depending on if there's alot more data in the DSO than in the cube.
A DSO is 1 table which is easier to extract data from and build additional indexes on to speed up load time.
The Info cube is as you know more compelx built with the multi dimensional model.
Kind regards

What is the relation ship b/w dimentions of cube , char cube?

what is the relation ship b/w dimentions of cube , char cube? meas is it one-one,one-many,many-one?

Hi.....
Ideally the characteristics in a dimension are 1:n........as already explained.......
But how to deal with the characteristics that need to be placed in a dimension with n:m relationship..........
It is always better to put unrelated Characteristics having n:m relationships in differnt dimensions, else the size of dimension and fact tables would nearly be the same, which is not advisable........
As usual it depends. If you have enough dimensions available you normally put them into different dimensions. If you have lots of characteristics you look at the expected number of values in the characteristics and you put those characteristics into one dimension that have small amounts of values like version, value type, currency type. Sometimes you also put characteristics together that are unrelated but need to be logically combined like cost element and credit/debit indicator.
Or your characteristics are slightly correlated (what you may call 1.5:n relation).........
Hope this helps.......
Thanks==Points as per SDN..............;)

DTP - Load from cube to cube - Setting "Use aggregates"

Hi all,
what exactly does the setting "Use aggregates" on the extraction tab in a DTP which loads data from Cube to Cube mean? The F1-Help didn't really bring me any further...
Thanks to any answers in advance!
Kind regards,
Philipp

Hi,
U can update data from from one data target to other data target through data marting.
right click ur ODS or Cube from where u r updating data to other target and select the Generate export data source. then it will create a data source with the name 8forllowed by ur data taget name. there after assign ur data source to ur infosource. and then create Update b/n the targets and then select the update data to other data target from where u r updating.
select the type of update. and then load it from ur IP.

Problem during Data Warehouse Loading (from staging table to Cube)

Hi All,
I have created a staging Module in owb to load my flat files to my staging tables.I have created an Warehouse module to load my staging tables to Dimension and Cube that I have created.
My senario:
I have a temp_table_transaction which had loaded my flat files to it .This table had loaded with 168,271,269 milion record as through this flat file.
I have created a mapping in owb which loaded my temp_table_transaction which has join with other tables and some expression and convert function that these numbers fill to a new table called stg_tbl_transaction in my staging module.Running this mapping takes 3 hours and 45 minutes with this configue of my mapping:
Default operation mode in running parameter of Mapp config=Set based
My dimesion filled correctly but I have two problem when I want to transfer my staging table to my Cube:
#1 Problem:
i have created a cube is called transaction_cube with owb and it generated and deployed correctly.
i have created a map to fill my cube with 168,271,268 milon recodes in staging table was called stg_tbl_transaction and deployed it to server (my cube map operating mode is set based)
but after running this map it did not complete after 9 hour and I forced to cancel my running's map by kill its sessions .I want to know this time for loading this capacity of data is acceptable or for this capacity of data we should spend more time.Please let me know if anybody has any Issue.
#2 Problem
To test my map I have created a map with configure set based in operation modes and select my stg_tbl_transaction as source with 168,271,268 records in it and I have created another table to transfer and load my data in it.I wanted to test the time we should spend on this simple map but after 5 hours my data had not loaded in new table.I want to know where is my problem.Should I have set something in configue of map or anothe things.Please guide me about these problems.
CONFIGURATION OF MY SERVER:
i run owb on two socket xeon 5500 series with 192 GB ram and disks with RAID 10 Array
Regards,
Sahar

For all of you
It is possible to load from Infoset to Cube we did it, and it was ok.
Data are really loaded from Infoset (Cube + master dat) to cube.
When you create a transformation under a cube Infoset is proposed, and it works fine ....
Now the process is no more operationnal and i don't understand why .....
Load from infoset to cube is possible, i can send you screen shot if you want ....
