Field in a Generic Datasource

Hi All,
I have created a Generic data source on a SAP table wherein I have a field called Business Area.
But when I upload the data from the R/3 table in my cube I want the filed to be Division.
That is I want data not be loaded Business area wise but Division wise.
Here Division is a navigational attribute of business area.
How do i do this?
Thanks and warm regards,
Sharmishtha

Hi,
1) You have to understand your self about what type of upload(master data/Transaction data) you need to do.
Tell us the table name was suggested to use for generic datasource.
2) You have 2 ways to get ZDIVISION into the cube
a) Take BUSINESS AREA as part of cube and activate the use of Navigational attribute(ZDIVISION) in the cube.
b) Take directly the characterstic ZDIVISION into cube and use the update rule as explained by me earlier.

Horizontal Bar in the RSA3 is not showing up for Generic Datasource.

Hi There,
Created a Generic Extarctor based on a two tables PAYR and REGUH.
Included 60 fields in the Generic datasource. Everything is fine and when i check the data in extract checker
RSA3, the horizontal bar is not showing up and i could only see 15 fields. I couldn't able to see the rest of the fields.
Can someone suggest what should i do to see all the fields in RSA3? Why Horizontal bar is not showing up?
Out of 60 fields only very few are hidden and it should show atleast 40 fields, but not happening..
Thanks
Vandana

HI There,
Thanks for all your responses.
1 - Tried to change the layout by going into Menu Settings --> Layout ---> Current, but no option to change.
2 - If I check the value of a particular field in the magnifier, then I could able to see all the fields
3 - After executing the RSA3, tried to change to ALV Grid by going into LIST, but again no option available to change.
4 - Checked the RSA2, and to my surprise all the fields are ticked as Key. Is that something why i'm able to see all fields in
     the browser?
5 - But when the check the datasource in RSA6, only 3 were ticked as Key and those three fields i can see before
     extracting the data using extract checker RSA3.
6 - Why all fields are ticked and showing and Key in RSA2 ?
The above is the current status of this issue. Can anyone please suggest how i should go head?
Thanks

Delta extraction for COPA generic datasource

Hi,
I have created generic datasource for COPA with timestamp as delta.I have initialized the delta in BW and was able to extract the same number of records which I had in RSA3.To test the delta created couple of records and when tried to extract it was giving me 0 records with Info doc status 8 in the status tab.The processing is red and it does not drop down. I checked in the the roosource table in R3 and it shows delta process as AIE and safety interval is 120 for the timestamp(will change it later).

The safety interval is just 120 seconds. One more thing is when I initialized the delta on the R3 side in RSA7 I can find my datasource but under the status tab it shows some other datasource and also the delta field and current status are empty. So do u think I have to add the UPMOD field to my generic datasource or any of your suggestions for creating delta are welcome.

Field in Append Structure for Generic Datasource

Hi:
I created a Generic Datasource based on a view. After that, I created an Append to the Extraction Structure to include a field not originally on the view (and not related to any table in the view) to be calculated using customer exit in CMOD.
At the moment of activating the Datasource, this new field doesn't appear in the selection window but in RSA6 it shows there with options "Hide Field" and "Field only Known in Customer Exit" checked.
Again, I try to edit the Datasource but this field is not in the list to change those two checks.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Luis Sales

Dear Luis Sales,
I was having the same requirement. I tried it hard for removing the tick mark on the HIDE option. But it was not working at all.
I tried these steps.
1. From RSO2 went to Extract structure. Edit Mode-> append structure.
2. Appended required fields and activated both append structure and extract structure.
3. Back to datasource and Save it.
4. Came out of transaction RSO2. ( latter Logged of system )
5. after re login - RSA6 selected given Datasource and change. there I could change the selection of HIDE field. ( Even earlier I was not able to do that)
May be these steps help you out.

Regarding the generic datasource fields

Hi Masters,
I've created one generic datasource(Master data source), which contains exactly 8 fields. Afterwards that datasource is replicated in BW. According to that datasource, fields are created in RSA1. But those fields name and lengths are not name in BW.Is it problem or not? And another one thing is those fields are not belongs to one Master data source. Is it ok?
Pl let me know.
Thanks in advance
Raja.S

Hello Raja,
In BW side you have to map the fields with infoobject in transfer structure. The definition of (Properties) infoobjects which you are mapping must be in sync with the fields you are mapping.
Hope it solves your problem.

How to create characteristics in BW based on generic datasource fields

hi ALL,
Actually, i created generic datasource based on database view in SAP R/3
Database view is created based on table LFA1.
Replicated the the datasource in SAP BW
Now, I have to create characteristics (master data) based
on generic datasource fields
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards
M A Mubeen

Hi Abdul,
for that you just create one charecterstic of Info object (with the same technical charecterstics of R/3 field).. and maintain master data..
now create one data source in BW side.. and select your data source and replicate data with your generic datasource...
and load the data..

Delta-Specific Field for Generic DataSource

Hi,
I have defined a Generic DataSource for Transaction data on R/3-Side.
This DataSource is based on View/Table EKKO (Purchasing Document Header) for some specific customer requirements. Delta-Specific Field is AEDAT (Calend. Day). Safety Interval Upper Limit is set 1 Cal. Days. No Safety Interval Lower Limit has been defined. "New Status for Changed Records" has been marked.
When we see this DataSource in Extractor Checker (RSA3), this data source
Extracted all delta data where AEDAT is not blank.
When I see the content of table EKKO, I can find few records where AEDAT is blank.
These records are missing in Extractor Checker.
How I can solve this problem? Which delta-specific field can be used in
this generic Datasource? Should I define an additional Generic DataSource with
Delta-Specific Field BEDAT (as BEDAT is filled when AEDAT is blank in table EKKO)?
Thanks for the answer.

Delta based on calday wont pick all the records which are recently posted and you can not run the delta more than one time in a day ,end of the day only you can run the delta.
Set the delta as Tme Stamp and specify the Upper limit to 5 minuts.
We can run the delta no. times and pick the documents posted in short interval of time.

Kishore.

Generic datasource by function module to fetch data from multiple tables?

I'm writing a function module to fetch price, for generic datasource.
At first, extract test is OK. But InfoPackage never stop when loading data to PSA in BW.
And I find the example codes:
     OPEN CURSOR WITH HOLD S_CURSOR FOR
      SELECT (S_S_IF-T_FIELDS) FROM SFLIGHT
                               WHERE CARRID IN L_R_CARRID AND
                                     CONNID IN L_R_CONNID.
    ENDIF.                             "First data package ?
* Fetch records into interface table.
*   named E_T_'Name of extract structure'.
    FETCH NEXT CURSOR S_CURSOR
               APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS
               OF TABLE E_T_DATA
               PACKAGE SIZE S_S_IF-MAXSIZE.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      CLOSE CURSOR S_CURSOR.
      RAISE NO_MORE_DATA.
    ENDIF.
    S_COUNTER_DATAPAKID = S_COUNTER_DATAPAKID + 1.
ENDIF.
There using Cursor to fetch data package by package, and raise exception NO_MORE_DATA to stop the loading process.
Now I fetch data from multiple tables, I don't think I can use Cursor.
Then How can I handle this?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks

Problem in creating a generic datasource with infoset

Dear Expert,
I have to create a generic datasource with infoset. I linked the infoset with a test program below. In the program, I have one selection option, which is s_order. After creating an infoset and a datasource, this selection option 'SELECT_S_ORDER' is added to my extract structure. However, after try filtering with this SELECT_S_ORDER, it doesn't filter data at all. Why? I want to filter data with my s_order.

What do you mean by linking program with infoset?
Do you get the field in your RSA3 Tcode?

Delta issue on a Generic Datasource

Hi
   I had a Generic Datasource on a Z table.
   The Z table had a Date field on which Delta is based.The Postings are performed manually.
How to solve the delta issue in the below scenario.
Ex; A user made a manual posting with a date 09AUG2010 today and delta is extracted to BW.
    But tommorow a used made another posting with a date 14JULY2010....
Currently that record is not being extracted....how can i resolve this
Thanks

Hi,
Once the data source is created you will extract the data till that date and as the delta is set it will fetch the newly updated records .But i dont think one can post with the back dates in R/3 side.
If i'm not wrong if you are asking regarding record got missed out them wht need to be done?
Then do the repair full request and pull the missed delta records and it wont effect the delta settings.

Invalid Extract Structure error while creating "Generic DataSource" on a view...

Dear All,
I have created a view on following tables MARA, AFKO and MSEG. The Table/Join condition is as follow:
AFKO--AUFNR = MSEG--AUFNR
AFKO--PLNBEZ = MARA--MATNR
I have included all the fields from MSEG and other all fields from MARA and AFKO. The view is created successfully and contents/records are also being fetched/displayed from this view.
See screen shot as well:
But when I go to RSO2 to create a "Generic DataSource" on this view. I get a series of warning messages and then error message "Invalid Extract Structure" and therefore I'm unable to create my DataSource on this view. See below screen shots of warning and error messages.
Other warning messages are as follow:
Field GAMNG with reference field MEINS: Reference table MARA is replaced by ZOXPRD0150
Field PLSVB with reference field PLNME: Reference table PLKO is replaced by ZOXPRD0150
Field PLSVN with reference field PLNME: Reference table PLKO is replaced by ZOXPRD0150
Field LODIV with reference field MEINS: Reference table MARA is replaced by ZOXPRD0150
Following is the screen shot of error message:
1. How can I get rid of this error message and be able to create my "Generic DataSource" on top of this "View"?
2. What should I do to resolve the above warning and error messages?
I will appreciate your reply.
Many thanks!

Hi Vipul,
as you can find in CKIS table, the reference feild for value feild "WERTN" is missing.
As per the table the reference feild is HWAER. This should have been used in place of FWAER.
Try mentioning this in your view and this should work.
Also I am a little enthusiastic to know, what are you trying to get from the datasource.
If you are trying to get the cost estimate of multi level BOM, not (just one child level), then this approach may not work.
There is a BAPI that gives such itemization split. Just FYI, in case you are looking for multi level explosion.
"BAPI_COSTESTIMATE_ITEMIZATION".
Hope this helps.

Error while creating Generic Datasource

Hi,
I try to create generic datasource using function module in RSO2, it is giving the following errors and the datasource is not creating.
"Units field WAERK for field TOT_REV of DataSource ZIPO_TRANSCATION is hidden Message no. R8147"
"Units field WAERK for field EXP_REV of DataSource ZIPO_TRANSCATION is hidden Message no. R8147"
TOT_REV and EXP_REV fileds datatype is CURR.
Fuction Module is working fine. Please give me any inputs, it is very urgent.
Best Regards,

hi,
let WAERS field be present in your structure defn
In the Currency/Quantity fields tab of your extract structure give the refernce of the same structure and same field

Generic Datasource on table IMRG in R/3- delta on timestamp is it ok ?

Hi
I am creating Generic datasource based on table IMRG in R/3, This has stoppages related data. which we need in BI report. There is a field for Time-stamp in the table, i have checked values in table IMRG, but in R/3 it shows no data for the time-stamp.
Now i want to create delta basis for this generic datasource based on table, so shall i create delta based on time-stamp or date field.
If I create delta based on time-stamp will it create problem in delta extraction subsequently? Please share your experience in such a cases.

There is a field for Time-stamp in the table, i have checked values in table IMRG, but in R/3 it shows no data for the time-stamp.
Delta specific field should be something which defines changes in your table, not something which is blank always.Based on the change in this delta specific field only delta will be pulled.Having it blank will never pull you delta.
Hope this helps.

Cutover approach - new fields added to existing DataSources / DSOs / Cubes

My current project has been phased across multiple releases. The phase 1 go-live was a few months ago and there is already a reasonable amount of data in the production environment. We will soon cutover from our QA to production environment. Some of our developments involve the addition of new fields (not key fields) to datasources.
For existing delta-enabled DataSource we are going to adopt the following approach:
1- Source system transports deployed
2- DataSources replicated in BI system
3- Before InfoObject / InfoProvider transports are sent we will delete data
4- The INIT flag will be deleted
5- Full Repair loads will be executed
6- INIT without Data Transfer will be executed
For new delta-enabled DataSources we are going to:
1- Source system transports deployed
2- DataSources replicated in BI system
3- INIT loads executed
4- DELTA loads executed
Does this approach seem correct? Does this avoid the risk of losing any data? Will it lead to delta loads functioning correctly? Will we get data loaded in the new fields for existing records?

One approach that we used for getting around having to delete and re-fill setup tables (which, by the way can be done without downtime - I wrote a blog on that about 1 year or more ago), is to create generic DataSources (some with generic deltas) for the additional data, ensuring that we had the keys for the target InfoProviders in the DataSource and then used those as an additional transformed source to the InfoProviders.
Example:
Was
