Hi
what is the difference between cummulative and non cummulative <b>cubes and key</b> <b>figures</b>

hi
check this...

Not able to compress the init request for non cummulative cube

hi sdn
i'm not able to compress request for stock init( for some plants) in non cummulative cube with a marker update the job is cancelled when I see the log it is showing no. of sql lines
and job terminated.
what may be the cause of the problem
ruabne

You need to restrict the number of the request that you are going to compress for every job. Try also to enlarge TableSpace, in particular the temporary TableSpace, that you can subsequently reduce.
Consider that any other job, like query from user or other uploads, reduce the speedof the compression.
Hope it helps.

Cummulative and non cummulative

Hi all,
Can we add cummulative and non cummulative keyfigure and send that result to datatarget.
Is it possible to do addition non-cummulative and cummulative

Hi reddy,.
Yes, you can.
Cumulative KF at query level are same as non cumulative.

Re: Segregate leading and non-leadingledger data in BI Cube

Hello,
I would like to share the following Scenario with you all:
I want to extract leading ledger and non-leading ledger data into a BI cube. Sure, the answer is yes.
Would it be possible to segregate both leading and non-leading ledger data within a BI cube? Or the only possibility is to load leading and non-leading ledger data into two different cubes?
Please advise.
Thanks
RJ

Hi RJ,
Depending on what datasource you are using, it will provide a field that indicates the ledger. The new general ledger datasources provide the field RLDNR for this purpose, and you'll need to make sure to carry through this value to the BW DSO or Cube that you are using - [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bic706sp01/helpdata/en/45/757140723d990ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm]

Difference between Snapshot scenario and non cumulative scenario

Hi,
Can any one please tell me the difference between snapshot scenario and non cumulative scenario in
inventory management.
Also please give example. I read the pdf " how to handle inventroy management scenarios", but can any one please give some easy to understand examples.
full points guaranteed-

hi,
In Non-cummulative method your stock movements are stored in the cube (inflow and outflow of NC KF) and the Total stock is calculated during query execution. Hence if there are lot of movements in the stock for the period you want to report on, query will take long time to execute.
In case of Snap shot scenario Stock movements are not loaded to cube. you use ODS to load the status of the stock and then from ODS you can load to Cube once in a month. So only summarized data will be availabe in Cube. Reporting will be fast.

Cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure

Hi BW Expertz
Could any one give me the clarification about cumulative and non cumulative key figures .Why we go for cumulative key figure and non cumulative key figure.If any docs could u just mail to the following [email protected]
Thanx In advance
Best regards
sankar prasad

Cumulative values are those key figures (KF) that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Ex: Sales revenue, Quantity....
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so called exception aggregation.
Ex: Number of employees, Inventory, Stock prices, Account balance,.....
AGGREGATION TAB
Non cumulatives are evaluated by non-cummulative values. Non-cummulative values are special key figures that are different from other key figures (cummulative values) in data transfers and saving as well as in aggregational behaviour. These are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say, they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative value are summaraized over-time using exception aggregation.
Non-cumulative values such as 'number of employess' are cumulated using characteristics such as 'cost center'. It does not make any sense, however, to cumulate the number of employees using different periods. The result at the end of any particular period would be the sum total of number of employees for each posting during the period. This would of course be wrong.
Instead, the aggregation of the KF can be defined as exception aggregation wherein an additional references characteristics is utilized to tell BW which value to use during the period, in this case, 0CALMONTH is used, in the above example, to indicate that only the last value of 0HEADCOUNT, updated by costcenter, is to be taken for any calender year and month.
Cummulative vs Non-Cumulatives
The purpose of non-cumulatives is to optimize the data transfer in BW, the data retention and the database access. The data transfer from OLTP to BW is minimized and only the meaningful data is saved and processed.
It is recommended that you use non-cumulative values for areas that dont change frequently such as warehouse stock or number of employees.
Non-cumulatives are modeled in BW using a non-cumulative value with the fields belonging to it for storing the non-cumulative or for inflows or outflows.
Non-cumulative values are stored with special KF that differ in terms of data transfers and aggregational behaviour.
Features of NON-Cumulative Values Transfering and Saving Data:
- NC values are mapped uisng one KF for NC changes or two KF for inflows and outflows.
-NC are transferred in an initialization run and the change runs that follow (initialization can also be omitted here)
- A non-cumulative value always has a time-related exception aggegation.

Cumulative and Non-cumulative KFs

Guys,
so I am confused about cumulative/Non-cumulative keyfigures. I read what it says about them on help.sap.com
Flow/non-cumulative value
You can select the key figure as a cumulative value. Values for this key figure have to be posted in each time unit, for which values for this key figure are to be reported.
Non-cumulative with non-cumulative change
The key figure is a non-cumulative. You have to enter a key figure that represents the non-cumulative change of the non-cumulative value. There do not have to be values for this key figure in every time unit. For the non-cumulative key figure, values are only stored for selected times (markers). The values for the remaining times are calculated from the value in a marker and the intermediary non-cumulative changes.
Non-Cumulative with inflow and outflow
The key figure is a non-cumulative. You have to specify two key figures that represent the inflow and outflow of a non-cumulative value.
For non-cumulatives with non-cumulative change, or inflow and outflow, the two key figures themselves are not allowed to be non-cumulative values, but must represent cumulative values. They must be the same type (for example, amount, and quantity) as the non-cumulative value."
and also checked a few threads on sdn but still a little confused about their purpose.
Can someone tell me when do we use which one?
Thanks,
RG.

Hi Ram,
Cummulative & Non Cummulative Key Figures :
Basically the key figures are of two types cumulative and non cumulative.
Cumulative are the normal one which you use always and they always bring the new values of the key figures in the delta that is if suppose A has value 10 and after change the new value is 20 then you will use cumulative key figures there, and your delta( new value) will bring 20.
but suppose your key figures field only the change in the prior value that is in this case the delta in the key figure value will bring 10 (20-10- change of 10 )as new value in the key figure A then you will have to model it through the non cumulaitve key figures.
Now
1) Cumulative is for the first case that is if the key figure alwyas brings the new values of the key figure and not the change sin the key fiures value.
2)NCum. value with NCUM value change:
In this case ther is only one field which brings the changes for a particualr key figure and you ahve to define that key figure as non cumulative.
Ex: In case of stock only one filed brings both ingoing value and outgoing value so 10 ,-4,100,-34.....
In this case you will this option and use the key figure here in the space provided.
3) In this case you haev two separate key figures one for the inflow of stocks and one for the outflow of the stocks.
you use one key figure for the inflow and one key figure for the outflow.
The main key figure autiomatically takes care of the logic and gives the correct output upon the summation
net value of stocks( inflow- outflow).
Also do remember in this case the key figure for inflow and out flow are the basic key figures that is cumulative key figures.
A non-cumulative is a non-aggregating key figure on the level of one or more objects that is always displayed in relation to time. Examples of non-cumulatives include headcount, account balance and material inventory. here the aggregation of key figure is based on the another info object
There are two different ways to define non-cumulative key figures:
u2022 Non-cumulative key figure with non-cumulative changes:
Before you can define the non-cumulative key figure, an additional cumulative key figure containing the non-cumulative change must exist as an InfoObject.
u2022 Non-cumulative key figure with inflows and outflows
There has to be two additional cumulative key figures as InfoObjects for non-cumulative key figures - one for inflows and one for outflows. The cumulative key figures have to have the same technical properties as the non-cumulative key figure, and the aggregation and exception aggregation have to be SUM.
Features of non-cummulative key figures
A non-aggregating key Figure.
Records are not summarized for Reporting
Exception Aggregation is being applied on these key figures on the level of one or more info objects usually with time .
Examples: Head Count, Account balance, Material stock
consider simple senario
Date Net Stock Quantity Sales Revenue
01.02.2005 40 1000
02.02.2005 50 2000
03.02.2005 25 3000
this is the query output if stock quantity has treated as cummulative and non-cummulative key figures
if stock quantity taken as a cummulative key figure
Date NET STOCK QUANTITY SALES REVENUE
01.02.2005 30 1000
02.02.2005 50 2000
03.02.2005 20 3000
RESULT 100 6000
in the above result the key figure has aggregated to the total value that wont give sense to the net stock quantity
if stock quantity taken as non-cummulative key figure
Date Net Stock Quantity (LAST) Sales Revenue
01.02.2005 30 1000
02.02.2005 50 2000
03.02.2005 20 3000
RESULT 20 6000
Hope it helps you.

More than Non-cumulative cubes in one MultiProvider

Hi There,
I have got two non cumulative cubes and want to build a MultiProvider on them.
Got information at couple of places on help.sap.com at one place it says MultiProvider can have more than one non-cumulative cubes at other place it says it can't. What is the right suggestion?
Thanks
Vikash

Hi,
From the performance perspective you should not use more than one Non Cumulative Infocube in a Multi Provider. If you user more than one the query will not execute parallel and execute in sequential which leads to delay in query run time.
This is a recommendation from SAP not to use morethan one Non Cumulative Cubes in a MP.
Cheers

Query for Future period on a non cumulative cube

Hi Colleagues,
I have a non cumulative cube. It has data till June,2006. When I query on the cube to report the balance with period as "July,2006" it doesnot return anything. What I expected is that it would show me the balance value as of June,2006 which is the last period for which there is data.
Am I missing anything ?
Regards,
priyadarshi

If you filter by jul06 and there is no data in cube, no matches with selection happens. You need to select any data to apply calculation of balance, try to select a range of months, with an offset.
Maybe if you put the month in free characteristics instead in filter section ir worked.

Activation error on Multi Provider which has Non-cumulative Cube

Hi,
My company has upgraded the BI 7.0 from 3.5.
It is working fine so far.
But I met the below message and could not activate it when I generate the multi provider which has Non-cumulative Cube.
Define the characteristics of the validity table for non-cumulatives (Message no. R7846)
And then I checked the Single cube but Single cube has no error.
I think this is program error and searched the notes in OSS but could not find.
Does any expert know this issue?
Thank you.

Hi lee,
validity slice tables need to be defined for cubes using non cumulative key figures.
In this we need to specify the characteristic combination on which this table has be maintained.
The maintanence can be done from cube change mode, menu bar extras--> maintain non cumulative values.
This table constantly gets updated with validity dates as we upload data.
An report on this can be seen in tcode RSDV.

Work around for including Non cumulative cube in an infoset.

Hi Experts,
I have 4 non cumulative infocube in my production, for another reporting purpose I have to use those non-cumulative cubes combining another DSO in an infoset, but the infoset is not allowing me to include non cumulative infocube in it.
The non-cumulative infocube contains 2 non cumulative keyfigures, those keyfigures are needed for my new reporting, to get the infoset logic(inner join) is there any other possible way to get the data ?
Please let me know. your valuable input will be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Hi Kalpana,
Try with multiprovider.
Otherway round could be creating DSO and creating transformation from DSO as well as non-cumulative infocubes (full update) and report on newly created DSO.
Hope that helps.

Validity slice is not correct for non-cumulative cube

Hello Expert,
There are two non-cumulative cube, say cube1 and cube2. Cube2 has only one more dimension of PLANT than Cube1.
Cube2 is copied from cube1 and change the char of validity.
Cube1 & cube2 use the same fill data source. That is, first load with opening balance and second with delta.
char of validity for cube1: calendar day & material
char of validity for cube2: calendar day & plant.
The query based on cube1 works well. To say cube2, the validity slice(in TXN RSDV or TBL /BIC/TCUBE2) is not correct. There is only one record which contains BLANK plant.
There are plants in F table.
I tried the following steps to recovery the validity slice, however, it made no sense.
1) PGM RSDG_CUBE_VALT_MODIFY to rebuild the validity slice structure
2) FM RSDV_VALID_RECREATE with I_REBUILD_FROM_FACT = 'X' to create validity slice from fact table.
Would you please suggest?
Thanks
XY

Hi XY,
For sure, running the RSDV_VALID_RECREATE function module in SE37 will recreate the validity table. And you can use the parameter "X" in the parameter I_REBUILD_FROM_FACT if the entire fact table should be read.
Also, to change the validity slice manually in tcode RSDV you should:
- overwrite the column 'To mode' with a 'F', which mean Fixed
- & then the 'Fixed to time' with your new value.
There is a program which allows you to modify it: Program > RSDG_CUBE_VALT_MODIFY

Cumulative and Non Cumulative Keyfigures

Hi,
What are Cumulative and Non Cumulative Keyfigures..? and
what is the lik betwqeen these keyfigures and the option " NO MARKER UPDATE " in the manage tab of infocube?
Can you please tell eloborately?
Regards
Naresh.

Hi,
Cumulative values are those key figures that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so-called exception aggregation.
In Inventory, When you initialize the stock by using BX Data source. It will bring the current status of the stock by calculating the past transactions happens in all the storage locations.
After loading the Data into Cube you compress the cube with Marker update, then system will take a reference point for the marker. Next when you load BF for the historical data, you compress with "No marker update". This may not be necessary in all the cases. If the client requires reporting on the past data you need to extract this. This time you run the info package with init Delta. If historical data is not required you can run the info pack INIT t without Data transfer.
In the above case you use No marker update, because you have initialized the stock by calculating all the historical data and then you are loading historical data, there would be data mismatch happen to avoid that use no marker so that it will not add to the reference point. Later you can run the delta loads by using BF data source. This time you need to use "Marker update" because all the delta movements are new they should be updated to reference point. Similarly UM also With marker updated for Price revaluations. Why Reference point: When you use Non Cumulative KF in the Cube, During query execution the data will come from Reference point which is set by marker update
