Reloading Historical Data into Cube: 0IC_C03...

Dear All,
I'm working on SAP BW 7.3 and I have five years of historical data being loaded into InfoCube: 0IC_C03 (Material Stocks/Movements (as of 3.0B)) and the deltas are also scheduled (DataSources: 2LIS_03_BF & 2LIS_03_UM) for the InfoCube. I have new business requirement to reload the entire historical data into InfoCube with addition of "Fiscal Quarter" and I do not have a DSO in the data flow. I know its a bit tricky InfoCube (Inventory Management) to work on and reloading the entire historical data can be challenging.
1. How to approach this task, what steps should I take?
2. Drop/Delete entire data from InfoCube and then delete Setup Tables and refill these and then run "Repair Full Load", is this they way?
3. What key points should I keep in mind, as different BO reports are already running and using this InfoCube?
4. Should I run "Repair Full Load" requests for all DataSources( 2LIS_03_BX &2LIS_03_BF & 2LIS_03_UM) ?
I will appreciate any input.
Many thanks!

Hi Tariq,
Unfortunately, you will need some downtime to execute a stock initialization in a live production system. Otherwise you cannot guarantee the data integrity. There are however certainly ways to minimize it. Please see SAP Note 753654 - How can downtime be reduced for setup table update. You can dramatically reduce the downtime to distinguish between closed and open periods. The closed periods can be updated retrospectively.
To make it more concrete, you could consider e.g. the periods prior to 2014 as "closed". You can then do the initialization starting from January 1, 2014. This will save you a lot of downtime. Closed periods can be uploaded retrospectively and do not require downtime.
Re. the marker update,please have a look at the document Re-initialization of the Material Stocks/Movements cube (0IC_C03) with 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_UM in BW 7.x, step 10, 11, 12 and 13 contain important information.
Re. the steps, it looks OK for me but please double check with the document Re-initialization of the Material Stocks/Movements cube (0IC_C03) with 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_UM in BW 7.x.
Please have a look at the following document for more background information around inventory management scenarios:
How to Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW (NW2004)
Last but not least, you might want to have a look at the following SAP Notes:
SAP Note 436393 - Performance improvement for filling the setup tables;
SAP Note 602260 - Procedure for reconstructing data for BW.
Best regards,

Problem with data in Cube 0IC_C03 in Bex Query

Hi,
(1) I am loading data into cube 0ic_c03 from data sources 2LIS_03_BX,2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM. I need one more field Manufacturing date in my cube.
(2) That's why I enhanced datasource 2LIS_03_BF, and populated HSDAT (Manufacturing date from MSEG table.) Date is visible in datasource.
(3) I loaded data in Cube from 03_BX, did collapse. Then loaded data from 03_BF did collapse. In my cube data display (or LISTCUBE) I am able to see Manufacturing date and keyfigure values (Received stock qty:transit and Issued stock qty: transit) in one row.
eg.-
Plant Manufac.date Issued Qty Received qty
5102 01.07.2007 2000 3000
But In my Bex query, I see -
Plant Manufac.date Stock:in Transit
5102 01.07.2007 #
5102 # 1000
Ideally I want to show data in query -
Plant Manufac.date Stock:in Transit
5102 01.07.2007 1000
Should I enhance 2LIS_03_BX data source also with MAnufacturing date ?
Please suggest...It is urgent..
Thanks

Regarding Reloading of Data Into The Cube

Hi All,
I have a situation where I have to reload the data into the InfoCube. The InfoCube is already having Full Load and Deltas for a period of 1 month. Now if I do a full load will I get the data as of today and can I do deltas tomorrow onwards after doing an Init???
Should I have to delete the Data from Delta Queue in Source System (RSA7)???
Please clarify me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Jay

Hi,
if you already have intialisations on the cube you can do a repair ful load. which will bring all the data and you can continue using the delta functionality from tomorrow.
hope this helps.

Dead lock error while updating data into cube

We have a scenario of daily truncate and upload of data into cube and volumes arrive @ 2 million per day.We have Parallel process setting (psa and data targets in parallel) in infopackage setting to speed up the data load process.This entire process runs thru process chain.
We are facing dead lock issue everyday.How to avoid this ?
In general dead lock occurs because of degenerated indexes if the volumes are very high. so my question is does deletion of Indexes of the cube everyday along with 'deletion of data target content' process help to avoiding dead lock ?
Also observed is updation of values into one infoobject is taking longer time approx 3 mins for each data packet.That infoobject is placed in dimension and defined it as line item as the volumes are very high for that specific object.
so this is over all scenario !!
two things :
1) will deletion of indexes and recreation help to avoid dead lock ?
2) any idea why the insertion into the infoobject is taking longer time (there is a direct read on sid table of that object while observed in sql statement).
Regards.

hello,
1) will deletion of indexes and recreation help to avoid dead lock ?
Ans:
To avoid this problem, we need to drop the indexes of the cube before uploading the data.and rebuild the indexes...
Also,
just find out in SM12 which is the process which is causing lock.... Delete that.
find out the process in SM66 which is running for a very long time.Stop this process.
Check the transaction SM50 for the number of processes available in the system. If they are not adequate, you have to increase them with the help of basis team
2) any idea why the insertion into the infoobject is taking longer time (there is a direct read on sid table of that object while observed in sql statement).
Ans:
Lie item dimension is one of the ways to improve data load as well as query performance by eliminationg the need for dimensin table. So while loading/reading, one less table to deal with..
Check in the transformation mapping of that chs, it any rouitne/formula is written.If so, this can lead to more time for processing that IO.
Storing mass data in InfoCubes at document level is generally not recommended because when data is loaded, a huge SID table is created for the document number line-item dimension.
check if your IO is similar to doc no...

Getting an error while trying to load data into cube

Hello,
I am trying to load data into cube but it gives me following error:
fiscal year variant not expected.
Can someone tell what could be done on fiscal year
Cheers
Jim.

Hi,
May be you have not mapped anything to fiscal variant or not included fiscal variant in the cube but you have used fiscal period inside it.
You should load fiscal variant if you wanna use fiscal period.
Map fiscal variant to a constant K4 or from the source if present and then see the result.
Generally it is K4 except for FI-CO cubes .
In the transfer rules, select field '0fiscvarnt' 'Tp' click
Enter K4 for Constant................Save and Activate
Iam sure you'd fix the issue.

Ways to Upload data into Cube,

1. What are the methods to upload data into cube, apart from flat file mode.(.csv)
2. I have some data in the Planning book in a KF eg. Sales Order. , i need to upload this sales order data to another cube, say forecast cube. how can i do it???
how to upload the data from Planning book to another cube.
Thanks!.

Please follow the steps:
1.      If necessary, replicate the DataSource. To do so, you can use the following options in the Data Warehousing Workbench:
○     Select the source system in the source system overview and choose Replicate DataSources in the context menu. This replicates all data sources in the source system.
○     Select the data source in the DataSource overview and choose Replicate Metadata in the context menu. This replicates just the one DataSource.
2.      Create an InfoSource and assign the data source to it. To do so, choose your application component on the InfoSource page of the Data Warehousing Workbench. In the context menu, choose Create InfoSource. On the next dialog box, select Transactional Data. Another dialog box appears. Enter a name and description for the new InfoSource and choose Enter. In the tree, select the new InfoSource. In the context menu, choose Assign DataSource. On the dialog box that appears, enter the source system. A list of DataSources appears. Select the required DataSource. Choose Enter.
Alternatively you can remain in the DataSource overview. A icon indicates that no InfoSource has been assigned yet. Either click the icon or choose Assign InfoSource in the context menu. On the dialog box that appears, enter a name for the InfoSource. Choose . On the next dialog box, enter a description and choose . Confirm the following dialog box. You can now maintain the InfoSource.
You can assign a DataSource to one InfoSource only.
3.      Create a DataStore object in the InfoProvider overview of the Data Warehousing Workbench.
a.      Select the InfoArea and then choose Create DataStore Object in the context menu. The Edit DataStore Object dialog box appears.
b.      Enter a name and a short description. If required, you can also specify a DataStore object to use as a template. Choose . The Edit DataStore Object dialog box appears.
   c.      On the left-hand side of the screen, you can select InfoObjects, for example, InfoCubes or InfoObjectCatalogs. You can copy characteristics or key figures from these InfoObjects to the DataStore object. We suggest that you select either the InfoCube to which you want to copy the data, or the InfoSource.
     d.      Copy the characteristics to the key fields in the right-hand tree in the DataStore object and copy the key figures to the data fields. In both cases, use drag and drop. You might have to transfer the 0RECORDMODE InfoObject from the Business Content.
     e.      In the Settings branch of the DataStore tree, set the following indicators:
■      Set quality status to 'OK' automatically
■      Activate DataStore object data automatically
■      Update data targets from DataStore object automatically
f.      Activate the DataStore object.
For more information, see DataStore Object.
       4.      Create update rules for the DataStore object.
.a.      Select the DataStore object in the data targets page (Data Warehousing Workbench).
b.      Choose Create update rules from the context menu. The Create Update Rules screen appears.
c.      Enter the InfoSource that you created in step 2. Choose . Edit the update rules as necessary.
d.      Activate the update rules by choosing .
       5.      Create update rules for the InfoCube as above, but with the DataStore object as the data source.
       6.      Create an InfoPackage for the InfoSource. In contrast to the normal procedure, on the Processing tab page, set the Only PSA and Update subsequently in data targetsindicators. Start or schedule the data load

Error in viewing successfully loaded data into cube..

How to load image data into cube?? Is it possible??

How to load image data into cube?? Is it possible??
Any sugession??

Hi Andre,
Document will be of ASCII characters right?? but image data will be in binary format. as per database concept it is stored as binary large object. But in datawarehousing the back end is also going to be some database such as Oracle or other DBs.
which can take blob's. so it would be possible to store the binary data.
If any one has faced this situation can reply.to this ques.
can post the step to load image(jpg/bmp or any image format) data in to info cube??
hi andre if u have done loading image data as you say.pls reply me if you have the steps with you.
thanks Andre

Short Dump when loading Data into Cube UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION(Pls Help)

Dear Guru's
i am trying to load data into a Cube from a ODS and the load gets dump...
In Dump Analysis.....
The exception 'ZCX_EDW_MAP_ROOT' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere

Error while loading data into cube

hi BW gurus,
when ever i am trying to load data into the cube from flat file after scheduling iam getting short dump in BW system. I checked it in st22 it is giving me a error as exception add_partition_failed. please help me to sort out this problem. If you know the error recovery please give me the answer in detail.
I will assign points for good answers.

This is what the note says:
Symptom
The process of loading transaction data fails because a new partition cannot be added to the F fact table.The loading process terminates with a short dump.
Other terms
RSDU_TABLE_ADD_PARTITION_ORA, RSDU_TABLE_ADD_PARTITION_FAILED, TABART_INCONSITENCY, TSORA, TAORA , CATALOG
Reason and Prerequisites
The possible causes are:
SQL errors when creating the partition
Inconsistencies in the Data Dictionary control tables TAORA and TSORA
Solution
BW 3.0A & BW 3.0B
In the case of SQL errors:Analyze the SQL code in the system log or short dump and if possible, eliminate the cause. The cause is often a disk space problem or lock situations on the database catalog or, less frequently: the partitioning option in the ORACLE database is not installed.
The most common cause of the problem is inconsistencies in the TAORA and TSORA tables. As of Support Package 14 for BW 3.0B/Support Package 8 for BW 3.1C, the TABART_INCONSITENCY exception is issued in this case. The reason is almost always missing entries in TSORA for the tablespaces of the DDIM, DFACT and DODS data classes.
The TAORA table contains the assignment of data classes to data tablespaces and their attributes, for example:
Tablespace Data class
DDIM PSAPDIMD ........
DFACT PSAPFACTD ........
DODS PSAPODSD .......
Foreach data tablespace, the TSORA table must contain an entry for the corresponding index tablespace, for example:
TABSPACE INDSPACE
PSAPDIMD PSAPDIMD
PSAPFACTD PSAPFACTD
PSAPODSD PSAPODSD
In most cases, these entries are missing and have to be added. See also notes 502989 and 46272.

Error while uploading data into cube

I am trying to upload data into my content cube but I got an error it says"
"Time conversion from 0CALDAY to 0FISCPER (fiscal year S1 ) failed with value 20040303"
I checked the data in the PSA it's there but the first record is not green light it has red light. Could you please give me some idea how to solve this problems.
Thank you in advance
sajita

If you don't know if you want to take over all settings (especially exchange rates may be critical) the problem is probably found in the fiscal year variant. So if you just take over the fiscal year variants.
If the problem remains you could check the following things:
In SPRO -> Global Settings -> Fiscal Year Variants (or similar) check:
Does a fiscal year variant S1 exist?
Is it time dependent? If yes, is it valid for Mar 3rd 2004?
If it is a self defined variant check if there is a period defined for March 3rd 2004.
Best regards

Loading InfoObject master data into Cube

Hi Guys,
I have a question. I created an InfoObject as a data target and loaded data into that data target. I created a cube and I want to include this infoobject in the cube. Now How do I load data into this cube from the InfoObject.Because the InfoObject doesnt have any option to select data targets, since it is master data.
Data is being loaded into the InfoObejct. But when I check the cube there is no data.
How do I load this master data into the cube without update rules?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
i think u need load some value to transaction data so that you can report on it, but how you are going to decide which row will be having which value from master data? in general value for this should come from transactional data, or you could assign some constant value to it.
Do you want to use any attribute of Inoobject in report? And if you have any key value for that coming from Transaction data, you can use rule type as read from master data
It depends upon your requirememt.
Since you want to restrict the values of the cube which are going into the report then you should include this object into the cube.
In any case if you want to restrict the value of the transactional data in the cube with either the value of the objects ot the attributes of object you will have to add this object into the cube.
As you said you can load master data and use in report but how you are going to use it..............you will have to include it in the cube to use it.
Also you can check whether this object is attribute of some other object already in the cube in that case you can make it navigation attribute and then use it for the restrictions in the cube.
In this case only you do need to add it to the cube,But if it not an attribute of any object then you must add it to the cube.
You have to get the value of your infoobject into Cube from datasource, even though you want to use attributes only.
You will have to add it and it wont have any effect the transaction data getting loaded into the cube will be different from the master data only SID's are matched during loading of the data.
You should load separate master data into the 0recontract infoobject with the master data source and make the respective object contract type and contract category as navigation there.
Also you should add 0recontract to the cube and update it from the transaction data source as you have said that it can be updated.
Then just do the normal restrication at the report level
You can make this display attribute as naviagatioonal first in the master data object and then in the cube make this attribute as navigational.
then you can use it to restrict in the cube
You can use Category as InfoObject in your cube, and while loading data for your infoobject in the rule type you can use option as reading from master data. It will take key of infoobject, and will update attribute value in your cube.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/f913426908ca7ee10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can also restrict with attributes value, Just in the restrcition of your infoobject in query designer, slelect left-botton button of 'Dipaly Other Values', here you can select you attribute and its value for restriction as well

Hareesh

Copying historical data into planinng area

Hai,
"For performance reasons, SAP recommends that you copy historical data from infocube to a timeseries instead of reading it directly from infocube."
Please correct me if I am wrong,
timeseries in the above context is the planning area.
I create a generic export datasource from MSDP_ADMIN giving it a name "9aplan" and it should generate an infsource in RSA1> infosources> Unassigned nodes as 9aplan.
From here on, how can I load the history from the infocube lets say, sales, to the infosource?
Should I create a transactional(realtime) infocube and then load data to it from both SALES and 9aplan?
Then how can the system access this cube when planning? where is it specified?
Thank you.

Hi Vishu,
A Planning Area is the structure - you need to initialise the "timeseries" against a planning version which will allow the data in keyfigures to be stored.
Loading data from the infocube to planning area - timeseries does not require any BW structure. Just use transaction /SAPAPO/TSCUBE to copy the Sales history data from the cube to the required keyfigure in the planning area (for the given version - most often being 000).
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Somnath
