Real-time data acquisition for HR datasources

Dear Experts,
I have a couple of questions on real-time data acquisition...
a) Can you tell me if any standard HR datasources support real-time data acquisition?
b) Can we apply real-time data acquisition for generic datasources? If yes, is there any difference in the process compared to working with business content datasources when using real-time data acquisition?
Hope you can provide some answers...as always, points will be awarded for answers that effectively address the questions.
Thanks a bunch.

Hi Karthik,
a)The decision to go for SAP remote cube depends on the volume of data and the frequency of queries. It is advicible not to use the SAP remote cube if the data volume is high and also, the query frequency is high. Which module in HR are yuo implementing? In HR, the data volume is generally high. So, if you go for loading the data from R/3 every 3 hours, you are asfe as long as the loading volumes are less. For example, for implementing Time management, I would not advice frequent loads as it is time consuming process. So, make a decision based on the above mentioned lines. If the data volume is not high, I would prefer the SAP ermote cube as it will reduce managing the loads.
b)I mentioned FM extractor just for the sake of control of data selection. You can even go for view/table extractor.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Problem with Real Time Data Acquisition

Hello,
I tried to built a RDA data flow according to the SAP-Help and this blog (/people/kamaljeet.kharbanda/blog/2006/11/13/real-time-data-acquisition-bi2004s), but I ran into a problem. Everything seems to be fine, but even though the daemon is running no new data is added to the DSO. I'll explain in detail what steps I took and hope someone can pinpoint my error(s).
System is BW4 on SPS 17. My datasource as well as my DSObject are in the same system
1.) Created a transparent table with a timestamp-field for generic delta as a local object.
2.) Created a generic datasource from view/table (used the above table), marked it as realtime-enabled and used timestamp as delta-specific field.
3.) Replicated the metadata for my datasource and activated it.
4.) Created a Data Storage Object with infoobjects corresponding to the table fields
5.) Created a transformation between DataSource and DSO
6.) Created a DTP from Data Source to DSO. The type is realtime-DTP.
7.) Created an InfoPackage for Delta-Initial Load. Update mode: Initialize Delta Process -> Initialization with Data Transfer.
8.) Then I changed my DTP (step 6) to "normal DTP" and executed it. Then activated the data in the DSO. The datasets from the table (which i filled with an ABAP-program) were successfully loaded and activated. So now my DSO contains 5 datasets.
9.) Changed the DTP back to "realtime DTP"
10.) Created an InfoPackage for RDA. Adapter is set to "Realtime extraction from SAP System"
11.) Created a daemon, assigned the IP for RDA and the DTP to the daemon and started it up.
12.) Executed my ABAP program to added 3 datasets to the table which is used as a datasource.
So now in my source table there are 8 datasets, but the daemon won't load them. In my RDA-Monitor (trx rsrda) it shows my daemon, the assigned IP and the assigned DTP (status green). Under the IP there's one yellow request (that should be right according to the help), but unlike the picture in the blog (link see above) there's no request under the DTP.
Job overview (sm37) shows an active batch job and some jobs that are ready (every 10minutes a new batch starts and the old one is closed). the job log shows, that the daemon runs, but loads no data...
i think it might be a problem with the delta extraction somewhere, because the intial load works fine and there are no errors anywhere.
Edit: perhaps my settings in the data source unter tab: extraction are wrong?
Delta process: AIE After Images By Extractor (can't change that)
Direct Access: Allowd
real Time: Real-Time DA Supported
Adapter: realtime data extraction (also tried Access to SAP Data through Service API which seems senseless)
Data Format: Fixed Lenght
Anyone can explain what those fileds mean and which one i should use?

Hi again, another thing i'd like to try is to just active a business content datasource which is realtime-enabled and has the ability to dynamically add some values so that i can test if it works. but i have no idea what business content would be applicable here, any ideas on that perhaps?

BI 7.0 Question on RDA (Real Time Data Acquisition)

Those who have all implemented RDA (real Time Data Acquisition) in BI 7.0, could you please tell me if this is limited to only a few of the extractors or available to all the business content extractors. Reason I ask this question is I read that if you have PI_BASIS 2005.1 then RDA is possible, but when I go into ROOSOURCE table in R/3 I do not see the Real time flag checked for any of the transactional Businees content extractors!!
Also does this mean that we need to set this flag manually and if so is this supported by SAP? please throw in expert your responses...
Ram

Dinesh, thank you...after going throught the posts I am still more confsued and not sure if SAP supports any Business content data sources as RDA Capable yet...also if someone has successfully implemented RDA for any of the following applications please do reply back, thank you...
1. Plant maintenance
2. GL
3. EC-PCA
thank you

Real-Time Data Acquisition

WHAT IS REAL-TIME DATA ACQUISITION AND
WHAT ARE REAL TIME QUERIES AND
DEAMON UPDATE AND HOW DO WE EXTRACT AND LOAD DATA
Please Explain in detail.....

Hi,
Real-Time Data Acquisition BI 2004s
Real-time data acquisition supports tactical decision-making. It also supports operational reporting by allowing you to send data to the delta queue or PSA table in real-time.
You might be having complex reports in your BI System, which helps in making decisions on the basis of data of your transactional system. Sometimes (quarter closure, month end, year ending...) single change in the transactional data can change your decision, and its very important to consider each record of transactional data of the company at the same time in BI system as it gets updated in the transactional system.
Using new functionality of Real-time Data Acquisition (RDA) with the Net Weaver BI 2004s system we can now load transactional data into SAP BI system every single minute. If your business is demanding real-time data in SAP BI, you should start exploring RDA.
The source system for RDA could be SAP System or it could be any non-SAP system. SAP is providing most of the Standard Data Sources as real-time enabled.
The other alternative for RDA is Web Services, even though Web Services are referred for non-SAP systems, but for testing purpose here I am implementing Web Service (RFC) in SAP source system.
Eg will be a production line where business wants information regarding defective products in the real time so that production can be stopped before more defective goods are produced.
In the source system, the BI Service API has at least the version Plug-In-Basis 2005.1 or for 4.6C source systems Plug-In 2004.1 SP10.

Error "cannot load request real time data targets" for new cube in BI 7.

Hi All,
WE have recently upgarded our SCM system from 4.1 to SCM 7.0 which incorporated BI 7.0.
I am using BI 7.0 for first time and ahve the following issue:
I ceated a new infocube and data source of flat file and succesfully created transformation, and Data Transfer Process. Everything looked fine. I added flat file and checked preview and could see data. Now when I start job to load data in infocube the follwing error is shown "cannot load request real time data targets".
I checked cube type in setting in infcune is shows as Standard. When I doube clicked on error the following message showed up
You are trying to load data into a real-time InfoCube using a DTP.
This is only possible if the correct load settings have been defined for the InfoCube.
Procedure
In the object tree of the Data Warehousing Workbench, call Load Behavior of Real-Time InfoCube from the context menu of the InfoCube. Switch load behavior to Transactional InfoCube can be loaded; planning not allowed.
I did not understand what it is meant and how to set changes. Can someone advice and follow me through.
Thanks
KV

Hi Kverma,
Real-time InfoCubes can be filled with data using two different methods: using the transaction for entering planning data, and using BI staging, whereby planning data cannot be loaded simultaneously. With Real time cube you can select the method you want to use for update as
Real Time data Target can be loaded With Data; Planning not allowed &
Real Time data Target can be Planned; Data loading not allowed
You can change this behaviour by right clicking on cube and selecting Change real time load behaviour and select first option. You will be able to load the data then

Real-time data extraction for FI-GL

Hi All,
I have a business requirement to have FI-GL transactions updated in 5 minutes or less in our BI system.
As per OSS Note 991429 (Minute based extraction enhancement for 0FI * 4 extractors) it seems in theory possible. However, the settings in this note inidcate that the extraction can only happen every 3600 seconds (1h) or more to avoid losing any delta records.
Has anybody been able to use either datasource 0FI_GL_4 or any other standard datasource to set-up a real-time extraction (the key point being a real-time update of 5 minutes or less, not an hour)?
Thanks a lot for your help.
David

I would like to inform you, that SAP does not recommend to reduce the
safety interval from 1 hour to 15 minutes.
This setting can cause missing records in the BW system.
However it is on your OWN risk, and it is NOT supported by SAP, if it
will cause missing datas in BW.
You can change the safety interval in table BWOM_SETTINGS.
Please take a detailed look at the note 991429.

Issue with Real-Time data acquisition

Hello,
I'm using RDA to extract a non-standard transparent table (Z*) from ECC to BI. When I launch my deamon, my infopackage and my DTP become yellow only 2/3 seconds and green just after, and no data are coming from ECC.
If I check the deamon log I could see following lines :
Job started
Step 001 started (program RSCRT_RDA_DEMON, variant &0000000001977, user ID XXXXXX)

A short dump is triggered in ECC, MESSAGE_TYPE_X in FM RSC3_DEMON_UPL. Why ???
I have done another extractor (on a HR infotype) and It works fine.
Thanks for your help,

First tip is to not configure the daq task and close the task on every iteration of the while loop. Configure the task before the loop starts and close it after the loop. Only stop and configure the task in the event that any of the configuration data changes.

Experience with Real-time Data Acquisition (RDA)

Hello all,
We are looking into using RDA functionality to quickly move data from ECC to BW and would like to talk to anyone who has had experience using this feature (did it work well, limitations, what to look out for, etc). Would appreciate if you could share your experiences.
Thanks,

Is vision development module in labview 8.6. sufficient for real-time image acquisition and analysis using a webcam

Hi,
I'm new to labview and trying to develop an eye-tracker using labview 8.6. It has the vision development module and i was wondering if this was sufficient for real-time image acquisition and processing or would i be needing any other software tools.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello, certainly it is possible and sufficient for real-time tracking!
About eye tracking - if you need an example, you can find the code here:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/blogs/kl3m3n/2013/10/08/real-time-face-and-eye-detection-in-labview-u...
The code uses OpenCV functionalities along with the LabView UI (and some other functions like overlay).
Hope this helps a bit.

Hi
In the ROOSOURCE table you can find the extract structures, go through all the fields of the extractor and if you find all of your equired fields exist ok else try to enhance for teh needed fields and go with user exit to populate the data for that fields'

Would MobiLink be the appropriate tool for syncing servers which collect near real-time data?

I have a situation which appears to be similar to the some MobiLink configurations, but with only a few large clients.In my case, there would be 5 to 10 remote clients (each with SQL Anywhere) and a central database. Administration and configuration would be done mostly from the central database, but each client also includes a near real time data collection application. The customer would like to have that data available in the consolidated database. In the worst case, there could be about 50MB of data received from each client in a burst each 15 minutes. Fortunately the consolidated site doesn't have a tight time constraint, its data could be up to 15-30 minutes behind. The clients don't need (or want) to see each other's collected data.
I would like to know if MobiLink would be a good choice for this situation. The only other viable alternative I've found so for is the keep the collected data at the remote clients and access it only on demand. And naturally, there's no money in the project for an enterprise level solution.
FYI: My company has on OEM license for SQL Anywhere. We usually just have an application with SQL Anywhere at each site to collect data from the local equipment. This project is for a Fortune 500 company that want's to be able to monitor everything from the corporate office.
John

Hi John,
You should start writing down a few numbers including network speed and hardware specifications of client and server machines. In the worst scenario, you would have 15 clients synchronizing concurrently 750 MB of data in 15 minutes. And on top, there is your real time data collection application that could work while the synchronization is in progress.
You should also workout, how many connections to the consolidated database you will have in addition to Mobilink server and if these connections can create contentions.
The key factors influencing Mobilink performance are listed here DocCommentXchange
and you can tune the performance (more details in the link below)
