Data Mart and Data Extraction from an Infocube

Can a data mart which is built on one Infocube in BW support delta extraction? We have two separate BW systems and are trying to extract data from one Infocube in one BW (Source) and load it to one Infocube in another BW(Target)?
We have built a data mart on the source BW infocube and have successfully been able to extract and load the initial data load into the target BW infocube. I noticed that the field 0RECORDMODE was not on the datasource that was created to support this data mart so my gut feeling is that we will not be able to do delta data extractions from this data mart.  Any feedback or confirmation of this?

Hi,
The InfoCube that is used as an export-DataSource is first initialized , meaning that the current status is transferred into the target BW. When the next upload comes around only those requests will then be transferred that have come in since the time of initialization. Different target systems can also be supplied like this
Since it is request based ..data mart on info cube supports delta.
Hope its helpful,
Anu.

  • How can I retrieve the col data size and Null information from table using labview connectivity toolset

    Hi, there,
    I am wondering how to get the table information by labview database
    connectivity toolset. The table list vi comes with the toolset can get
    only col name, data type and data size. And I found the the data size
    always gives back -1, even though it is a string type. Do somebody has
    some idea about it?
    Thanks.
    JJ

    JJ,
    Go into the diagrams of the DBTools List Columns and DBTools Get Properties respectively. When you inspect this diagram, you will see the raw ActiveX properties and methods called to get the size information. The value of -1 means the requested recordset is already closed. This is the sort of thing that is controled by the driver (ODBC, OLE DB, Jet, etc) you are using. Notice that you can right click on the property and invoke nodes and get more information about these specific items directly from the ADO online help.

  • Can I use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?

    Is it possible to use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?
    Thanks,
    CF

    I know one way, it is not elegant but it does work.
    1. Open Thunderbird. (download here: https://www.mozilla.org/EN/thunderbird/)
    2. Click on Address Book.
    3. On the left in the new window is a list of your Address books and groups. Select the one you want.
    Your addresses will appear to the right.
    4. In Thunderbird / Tools select Export, and Save as "Comma Separated".
    You can open that list of addresses in Excel or in FileMaker Pro. Mail merge proceeds from there.

  • SQL DM - Data Transformation and Data Movement option ?

    SQL DM - Data Transformation and Data Movement option ?
    I am using SQL DM 3.0.0.665. I need your thoughts on following.
    We find that Erwin introduced Data Transformation and Data Movement functionality to support ETL need. We were able to generate ETL spec using this feature.
    Does SQL DM have any plan to introduce such features?
    How do we use the current SQL DM to build ETL spec ?
    Thanks in helping us out.

    Hello,
    I am currently experimenting with SQL Data Modeler to produce high level solution designs and ETL specifications.
    Have not completed what I am doing but so far have come up with the following:
    Current assumption I am working on:
    All objects specified within the SQL Data Modeler will export to the Reporting Schema tables set up in an Oracle database. Once the data is within these tables then it will be a simple task to develop a SQL report to extract the data in any format required.
    1) There is nothing in the physical (Relational) Model section that supports this
    - though I have yet to fully use the Dimensional Modelling functionality which may have the mapping functionality required to specify an ETL
    2) We need diagrams of the processes as well as the ETL mapping
    - Process modelling is available in the Logical
    - Reverse Engineer all Physical objects to become Logical object i.e. one Table to one Entity
    - For each Entity set up an Information Structure
    (Currently this can only be done in a convoluted method via creating a diagram, creating a Flow and editing the Flow then drilling down)
    MESSAGE to SQL Data Modeler Support: Can things be set up so that Information Structures can be set up directly from the Browser, current method is a bit nonsensical
    - You are now set up to use the Logical Process Modeling functionality to capture the ETL requirements
    - Advise that you reference the training to understand what primitive, composite and transformation processes objects are
    - Also, take the time to understand what an external agent object is
    - Will assume you know what a Data Store is
    Here is the standard I am heading towards that seems feasible, will need to run a proof of concept within the larger team to ensure it works though:
    - A Logical is kept that is a one for one with the Physical
    (The only reason for this is that there is no process modeling functionality for the Physical objects
    MESSAGE to SQL Data Modeler Support: Can you duplicate the Process Modeling for the Logical to be available for the Physical objects too, would be a great help to specify ETL jobs.
    - An External Agent is used to represent an external source e.g. Billing application
    - A primitive process is used to represent the high Level design
    - A composite process is used to specify processes which can be further broken down to ETL jobs
    - A transformation process is used to represent an ETL job
    Within a Transformation process you can specify the mapping from multiple sources to a target table
    There are some negatives to this approach:
    - You lose the physical schemas the tables are part of, though a naming convention will get round this
    - You need to maintain a logical that is one for one with the physical, this is not a big overhead
    However, as I have stated in my message to the SQL Data Modeler support team, would all be resolved if the Process Modeling functionality were also made available within the Physical objects environment.
    Please note that we have not as yet adopted the above approach and are still assessing is SQL Data Modeler will meet this requirement to our satisfaction. The critical bit will be if the data exports to the Reporting Schema, if it does then we have plenty of SQL resource that can produce the reports required procided the data can be captured.
    Hope that all helps.
    Also, hope I have not missed the point of your email.
    Kind regards,

  • Difference b/w DATA TYPE and DATA OBJECT & differences b/w TYPE and LIKE

    hai
    can any one say the differences between Data type and Data Object.
    And also differences between TYPE and LIKE
    thanks
    Gani

    hi,
    _Data Types and Data Objects_
          Programs work with local program data – that is, with byte sequences in the working memory. Byte sequences that belong together are called fields and are characterized by a length, an identity (name), and – as a further attribute – by a data type. All programming languages have a concept that describes how the contents of a field are interpreted according to the data type.
          In the ABAP type concept, fields are called data objects. Each data object is thus an instance of an abstract data type. There are separate name spaces for data objects and data types. This means that a name can be the name of a data object as well as the name of a data type simultaneously.
    Data Types
       As well as occurring as attributes of a data object, data types can also be defined independently. You can then use them later on in conjunction with a data object. The definition of a user-defined data type is based on a set of predefined elementary data types. You can define data types either locally in the declaration part of a program using the TYPESstatement) or globally in the ABAP Dictionary. You can use your own data types to declare data objects or to check the types of parameters in generic operations.
         All programming languages distinguish between various types of data with various uses, such as ….. type data for storing or displaying values and numerical data for calculations. The attributes in question are described using data types. You can define, for example, how data is stored in the repository, and how the ABAP statements work with the data.
    Data types can be divided into elementary, reference, and complex types.
    a. Elementary Types
    These are data types of fixed or variable length that are not made up of other types.
    The difference between variable length data types and fixed length data types is that the length and the memory space required by data objects of variable length data types can change dynamically during runtime, and that these data types cannot be defined irreversibly while the data object is being declared.
    Predefined and User-Defined Elementary Data Types
    You can also define your own elementary data types in ABAP using the TYPES statement. You base these on the predefined data types. This determines all of the technical attributes of the new data type. For example, you could define a data type P_2 with two decimal places, based on the predefined data type P. You could then use this new type in your data declarations.
    b.  Reference Types
    Reference types are deep data types that describe reference variables, that is, data objects that contain references. A reference variable can be defined as a component of a complex data object such as a structure or internal table as well as a single field.
    c. Complex Data Types
    Complex data types are made up of other data types. A distinction is made here between structured types and table types.
    Data Objects
          Data objects are the physical units with which ABAP statements work at runtime. The contents of a data object occupy memory space in the program. ABAP statements access these contents by addressing the name of the data object and interpret them according to the data type.. For example, statements can write the contents of data objects in lists or in the database, they can pass them to and receive them from routines, they can change them by assigning new values, and they can compare them in logical expressions.
           Each ABAP data object has a set of technical attributes, which are fully defined at all times when an ABAP program is running (field length, number of decimal places, and data type). You declare data objects either statically in the declaration part of an ABAP program (the most important statement for this is DATA), or dynamically at runtime (for example, when you call procedures). As well as fields in the memory area of the program, the program also treats literals like data objects.
            A data object is a part of the repository whose content can be addressed and interpreted by the program. All data objects must be declared in the ABAP program and are not persistent, meaning that they only exist while the program is being executed. Before you can process persistent data (such as data from a database table or from a sequential file), you must read it into data objects first. Conversely, if you want to retain the contents of a data object beyond the end of the program, you must save it in a persistent form.
    Declaring Data Objects
          Apart from the interface parameters of procedures, you declare all of the data objects in an ABAP program or procedure in its declaration part. These declarative statements establish the data type of the object, along with any missing technical attributes. This takes place before the program is actually executed. The technical attributes can then be queried while the program is running.
         The interface parameters of procedures are generated as local data objects, but only when the procedure is actually called. You can define the technical attributes of the interface parameters in the procedure itself. If you do not, they adopt the attributes of the parameters from which they receive their values.
    ABAP contains the following kinds of data objects:
    a.  Literals
    Literals are not created by declarative statements. Instead, they exist in the program source code. Like all data objects, they have fixed technical attributes (field length, number of decimal places, data type), but no name. They are therefore referred to as unnamed data objects.
    b.  Named Data Objects
    Data objects that have a name that you can use to address the ABAP program are known as named objects. These can be objects of various types, including text symbols, variables and constants.
    Text symbols are pointers to texts in the text pool of the ABAP program. When the program starts, the corresponding data objects are generated from the texts stored in the text pool. They can be addressed using the name of the text symbol.
    Variables are data objects whose contents can be changed using ABAP statements. You declare variables using the DATA, CLASS-DATA, STATICS, PARAMETERS, SELECT-OPTIONS, and RANGESstatements.
    Constants are data objects whose contents cannot be changed. You declare constants using the CONSTANTSstatement.
    c.  Anonymous Data  Objects
    Data objects that cannot be addressed using a name are known as anonymous data objects. They are created using the CREATE DATAstatement and can be addressed using reference variables.
    d.  System-Defined Data Objects
    System-defined data objects do not have to be declared explicitly - they are always available at runtime.
    e.  Interface Work Areas
    Interface work areas are special variables that serve as interfaces between programs, screens, and logical databases. You declare interface work areas using the TABLES and NODESstatements.
    What is the difference between Type and Like?
    Answer1:
    TYPE, you assign datatype directly to the data object while declaring.
    LIKE,you assign the datatype of another object to the declaring data object. The datatype is referenced indirectly.
    Answer2:
    Type is a keyword used to refer to a data type whereas Like is a keyword used to copy the existing properties of already existing data object.
    Answer3:
    type refers the existing data type
    like refers the existing data object
    reward if useful

  • Data Carriers and Data carrier type

    Hi Sap Gurus,
    Pls let me know is there any necesssity of defining any new Data Carrier types other than PC,
    if so at what circumstances and requirements,
    also pls throw some light about data Carriers, when is the new data carriers required to be created
    at what circumstances and requirements.
    is that to access a document from different server or Different system, if it is so why is this required as the documents are always stored in a central content server and Once checked in, any one can access the document from Server,
    2) can we make use of Application softwares Installed in one System and make it run in another system, example,
    if there are say 4 system totally, among this S1 system1 has Autocad Installed in it ,
    rest of the 3 system have not installed Autocad, Can the system 2,3 and 4 edit the auto cad drawings in there system, does at this situations where Datacarries and Data carries types come in to picture,
    Please throw some light on this
    Thanks and regards
    Sathish

    Dear Christoph Hopf,
    Thanks a lot for your Quick Response
    as you have Explained,i assume it is mainly used to store a local copy or extra copy of the Original application files in the system which we use to View them, or if we feel to store the copy in any other system also.
    Example Say there are 3 systems S1, S2 and S3
    if we are viewing an original file in System S1 and want the same Copy to be stored in System S2  or S3.....
    then this data carrier configuration is required if iam right?
    But Sir apart from this funtionality can i also know the SAP definition purpose, as it defines  data carrier type as below
    The system requires the data carrier type in order to exchange data with other data carriers.
    This is the case, for example, if the user:
    wants to process original application files stored on another computer
    wants to use an application installed on another computer
    if i can interpret this in right way
    it tells us that, by use of data carrier and Data carrier types
    we can access a  original file stored in Different systems,
    if it is so why is this required as the documents are always stored in a central content server and Once checked in, any one can access the document from Server,
    2) can we make use of Application softwares Installed in one System and make it run in another system, example,
    if there are say 3 system totally, among this S1 system1 has Autocad Installed in it ,
    rest of the 2 system have not installed Autocad, Can the system 2, and 3 edit the auto cad drawings in there system, does at this situations where Datacarries and Data carries types come in to picture,
    if so how is this made possible?
    pls explain with example or Screen shots in Wiki if possible
    can u tell me what is the difference between Datacarrier and Datacarrier types with any examples as well

    we want to use odi to migrate data from legacy databases to our oracle data base[oracle utilities-cc&b,mdm database tables].
    Do we have to use data qwality and data profiling for this.
    if yes, does it require eperate license.

    Do we have to use data qwality and data profiling for this.
    Data quality and profiling is different from just data migration .
    if yes, does it require separate license.Yes , there is separate license for these option.

  • Data package and data packet

    Hit
    i want to know the difference between data package and data packet .when this comes in sap bw
    with regards
    tushar

    Hello,
    Data package term is related to DTP which is used to load Data from PSA to further Data Targets
    Start and end routine works at package level so routine run for each package one by one .By default package have sorted data based on keys (non unique keys (characteristics )of source or target) and by setting semantic keys you can change this order.So Package having more data will take more time in processing then package have lesser data .
    Data Packet Term is related to Info Package which is used to load data from Source System to BI (PSA).
    As per SAP standard, we prefer to have 50,000 records per one data packet.
    For every data packet, it does commit & save --- so less no. of data packets required.
    If you have 1 lakh records per data packet and there is an error in the last record, the entire packet gets failed.
    Hope it helps!

  • Data type and Data object

    Hi Friends,
            What is the difference between Data type and Data object?
    Best Regards,
    VRV Singh

    hi
    good
    Each ABAP program define its own data types using the statement.
    TYPES dtype TYPE type ...
    and declare its own variables or instance attributes of classes using the statement
    DATA var {TYPE type} ...
    Within the program or a class, you can also define local data types and variables within procedures. Local variables in procedures obscure identically-named variables in the main program or class.
    When creating data types and data objects, there are a number of naming convention that also apply for other local program definitions, such as procedures. These are described in detail in the keyword documentation.
    The Additions TYPE and LIKE
    The additions TYPE type and LIKE dobj are used in various ABAP statements. The additions can have various meanings, depending on the syntax and context.
    ·        Definition of local types in a program
    ·        Declaration of data objects
    ·        Dynamic creation of data objects
    ·        Specification of the type of formal parameters in subroutines
    ·        Specification of the type of formal parameters in methods
    ·        Specification of the type of field symbols
    Constructing New Data Types
    The TYPE addition allows you to construct new data types in the TYPES, DATA; CONSTANTS; and STATICSstatements. In the TYPES statement, these are local data types in the program. In the other statements, they are attributes of new data objects, meaning that the newly defined data types are not free-standing. Rather, they are linked to database objects.This means that you can refer to them using the LIKEaddition, but not using TYPE.
    To construct new data types, the addition TYPE can be used with the following type constructors:
    ·        Construction of reference types
    REF TO type|dobj
    ·        Construction of structured data types
    BEGIN OF struc_type.
    END OF struc_type.
    ·        Construction of table types
    tabkind OF linetype
    These data types only exist during the runtime of the ABAP program.
    Referring to Known Data Types or Data Objects
    Using the additions TYPE or LIKE in the TYPESstatement, local data types in a program can be referred to known data types or data objects. This is mainly the case with user-defined elementary data types. If you declare variables using the additions TYPE type or LIKE dobj with statement DATA, the data type of var is already fully defined before the declaration is made.
    The known types or data that are referred to must be visible at the point where the data type or variable is declared.
    A known data type can be any of the following:
    ·        A predefined ABAP type to which you refer using the TYPE addition
    ·        An existing local data type in the program to which you refer using the TYPE addition
    ·        The data type of a local data object in the program to which you refer using the LIKE addition
    ·        A data type in the ABAP Dictionary to which you refer using the TYPE addition. To ensure compatibility with earlier releases, it is still possible to use the LIKE addition to refer to database tables and flat structures in the ABAP Dictionary. However, you should use the TYPE addition in new programs.
    The LIKE addition takes its technical attributes from a visible data object. As a rule, you can use LIKE to refer to any object that has been declared using DATA or a similar statement, and is visible in the current context.  The data object only has to have been declared. It is irrelevant whether the data object already exists in memory when you make the LIKE reference.
    ·        In principle, the local data objects in the same program are visible. As with local data types, there is a difference between local data objects in procedures and global data objects. Data objects defined in a procedure obscure other objects with the same name that are declared in the global declarations of the program.
    ·        You can also refer to the data objects of other visible ABAP programs. These might be, for example, the visible attributes of global classes in class pools. If a global class cl_lobal has a public instance attribute or static attribute attr, you can refer to it as follows in any ABAP program:
    DATA dref TYPE REF TO cl_global.
    DATA:  f1 LIKE cl_global=>attr,
           f2 LIKE dref->attr.
    You can access the technical properties of an instance attribute using the class name and a reference variable without first having to create an object. The properties of the attributes of a class are not instance-specific and belong to the static properties of the class.

  • Data Warehousing and Data Analytics

     how can someone as a manager,  use data warehousing and data analytics in a phone company?

    Hi Ana,
    Data warehouses are characterized by queries that scan larger numbers of rows, large ranges of data and may return relatively large results for the purposes of analysis and reporting. Data warehouses are also characterized by relatively large data loads
    versus small transaction-level inserts/updates/deletes.
    Data analytics is distinguished from data mining
    by the scope, purpose and focus of the analysis. Data miners sort through huge
    data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships.

  • Data types and data objects

    diff b/w data types and data objects

    hi prasanth,
    Data Types and Data Objects
    Programs work with local program data – that is, with byte sequences in the working memory. Byte sequences that belong together are called fields and are characterized by a length, an identity (name), and – as a further attribute – by a data type. All programming languages have a concept that describes how the contents of a field are interpreted according to the data type.
    In the ABAP type concept, fields are called data objects. Each data object is thus an instance of an abstract data type. There are separate name spaces for data objects and data types. This means that a name can be the name of a data object as well as the name of a data type simultaneously.
    Data Types
    Data types are templates for creating data objects. Data types can be defined independently in the ABAP program or in the ABAP Dictionary. As attributes of a data object, data types can also exist in a non-independent state. Data types do not use any memory space for work data, but may require memory for administration information.
    As well as occurring as attributes of a data object, data types can also be defined independently. You can then use them later on in conjunction with a data object. The definition of a user-defined data type is based on a set of predefined elementary data types. You can define data types either locally in the declaration part of a program using the TYPESstatement) or globally in the ABAP Dictionary. You can use your own data types to declare data objects or to check the types of parameters in generic operations.

The attributes in question are described using data types. You can define, for example, how data is stored in the repository, and how the ABAP statements work with the data.
    Data types can be divided into elementary, reference, and complex types.
    a. Elementary Types
    These are data types of fixed or variable length that are not made up of other types.
    The difference between variable length data types and fixed length data types is that the length and the memory space required by data objects of variable length data types can change dynamically during runtime, and that these data types cannot be defined irreversibly while the data object is being declared.
    Predefined and User-Defined Elementary Data Types
    You can also define your own elementary data types in ABAP using the TYPES statement. You base these on the predefined data types. This determines all of the technical attributes of the new data type. For example, you could define a data type P_2 with two decimal places, based on the predefined data type P. You could then use this new type in your data declarations.
    b. Reference Types
    Reference types are deep data types that describe reference variables, that is, data objects that contain references. A reference variable can be defined as a component of a complex data object such as a structure or internal table as well as a single field.
    c. Complex Data Types
    Complex data types are made up of other data types. A distinction is made here between structured types and table types.
    Data Objects
    A data object is an instance of a data type and occupies as much memory space as its type specifies. An ABAP program only works with data that is available as content of data objects. Data objects are either created implicitly as named data objects, or exanonymous data objects using CREATEDATA.
    Data objects are the physical units with which ABAP statements work at runtime. The contents of a data object occupy memory space in the program. ABAP statements access these contents by addressing the name of the data object and interpret them according to the data type.. For example, statements can write the contents of data objects in lists or in the database, they can pass them to and receive them from routines, they can change them by assigning new values, and they can compare them in logical expressions.
    Each ABAP data object has a set of technical attributes, which are fully defined at all times when an ABAP program is running (field length, number of decimal places, and data type). You declare data objects either statically in the declaration part of an ABAP program (the most important statement for this is DATA), or dynamically at runtime (for example, when you call procedures). As well as fields in the memory area of the program, the program also treats literals like data objects.
    A data object is a part of the repository whose content can be addressed and interpreted by the program. All data objects must be declared in the ABAP program and are not persistent, meaning that they only exist while the program is being executed. Before you can process persistent data (such as data from a database table or from a sequential file), you must read it into data objects first. Conversely, if you want to retain the contents of a data object beyond the end of the program, you must save it in a persistent form.
    Declaring Data Objects
    Apart from the interface parameters of procedures, you declare all of the data objects in an ABAP program or procedure in its declaration part. These declarative statements establish the data type of the object, along with any missing technical attributes. This takes place before the program is actually executed. The technical attributes can then be queried while the program is running.
    The interface parameters of procedures are generated as local data objects, but only when the procedure is actually called. You can define the technical attributes of the interface parameters in the procedure itself. If you do not, they adopt the attributes of the parameters from which they receive their values.
    ABAP contains the following kinds of data objects:
    a. Literals
    Literals are not created by declarative statements. Instead, they exist in the program source code. Like all data objects, they have fixed technical attributes (field length, number of decimal places, data type), but no name. They are therefore referred to as unnamed data objects.
    b. Named Data Objects
    Data objects that have a name that you can use to address the ABAP program are known as named objects. These can be objects of various types, including text symbols, variables and constants.
    Text symbols are pointers to texts in the text pool of the ABAP program. When the program starts, the corresponding data objects are generated from the texts stored in the text pool. They can be addressed using the name of the text symbol.
    Variables are data objects whose contents can be changed using ABAP statements. You declare variables using the DATA, CLASS-DATA, STATICS, PARAMETERS, SELECT-OPTIONS, and RANGESstatements.
    Constants are data objects whose contents cannot be changed. You declare constants using the CONSTANTSstatement.
    c. Anonymous Data Objects
    Data objects that cannot be addressed using a name are known as anonymous data objects. They are created using the CREATE DATAstatement and can be addressed using reference variables.
    d. System-Defined Data Objects
    System-defined data objects do not have to be declared explicitly - they are always available at runtime.
    e. Interface Work Areas
    Interface work areas are special variables that serve as interfaces between programs, screens, and logical databases. You declare interface work areas using the TABLES and NODESstatements.

  • Data Source and Data Store

    Are both Data Source and Data Store the same in BI? If not can someone explain what each one of these terms mean.
    Thanks for the help

    Data Source or Persistent Staging Area  is a transparent database table or initial store in BI. In this table the requested data is saved unchanged from the Source System.
    DataStore Objects are primary physical database storage objects used in BI. They are designed to store very detailed transactional level records.
    Thanks

  • Odi-data quality and data profiling

    Would odi-ee license be sufficient to use,odi data quality and data profiling.
    We plan to use odi to migrate data from legacy databases to oracle 11g data base.
    Do we have to use odi data quality and profiling.

    Hi after 11.1.1.3 version of ODI release, oracle no longer supports ODP/ODQ which is a trillium software product and this not owned by oracle. Oracle is recommending the usage OEDQ for quality purposes. It's better if you could spend time on OEDQ rather than trying to learn and implement ODP/ODQ in ODI

  • Differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse da

    Hello Everyone,
    Can anybody help me understand the differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse data modeling>
    Thanks

    Hello A S!
    What you mean is the difference between modelling after normal form like in operational systems (OLTP) e. g. 3NF and modelling a InfoCube in a data warehouse (OLAP)?
    While in a OLTP you want to have data tables free of redundance and ready for transactions meaning writing and reading few records often, in an OLAP-system you need to read a lot of data for every query you do on a database. Often in an OLAP-system you aggregate these amounts of data.
    Therefore you use another principle for these database scheme. This is called star schema. This means that you have one central table (called fact table) which holds the key figures and have keys to another tables with characteristics. These other tables are called dimension tables. They hold combinations of the characteristics. Normally you design it that your dimensions are small, so the access  on the data is more efficent.
    the star scheme in SAP BI is a little more complex than explained here but it follows the same concept.
    Best regards,
    Peter
