Acessing Cube tables outside BW

Hello,
I am trying to access the logical tables of a Sap Cube in SQL Server 2005.
Is there any way to know what tables(fact and dimension) in SQL Server match the cube in BW? Can we know how the cube is stored in SQL Server?
Thanks
Edited by: nunocastro on Jan 28, 2011 1:48 PM

The cubes are not stored into SQL Server are stores into SSAS.
It is big difference between the BW and SSAS and it is not really exactly a maping between tables.
Any way like mapping:
tblfac2"nameofapplication" it is E table of BW cube
tblfact"nameofapplictaion" it is F table of BW cube
Tblfactwb"nameofapplication" it is like Open Request into BW cube.
It is not easy to provide you relations between BW cube and tables from SQL server and cubes of SSAS.

Significant of key field in Info cube table

Hi,
what is significant of key field in Info cube table?
Best regards,
dushyant.

hi ,
key figures are very important in tables, when it is in cube it act as dimensions
for the reporting purpose see this scenario
the table has following fields
student no
student name
student attendance
student mark
in this scenario when we want report according to student no its normal we would get, but when we want according to attendance,marks we dont get report according to attendance and mark, so we put all those fields in key fields.
So we could say that Key fields are the dimensions and according to this we get reports
thank yu

Updating Physical Cube Tables and Hierarchies OBIEE 11.1.1.7

OBIEE 11.1.1.7
I have imported a MSAS Cube, modeled it and created a presentation layer. I now have some new hierarchies I need to add to the phyicial layer.
How do you import new Cube Tables and/or Hierarchies?
When I select the Import option it creates a new OLAP database and connection pool, I am unable to successfully move those changes into the existing OLAP Connection.
I have been through the documentation and it reccomends importing over a manual process. However I am unable to figure out how to do this with the import process.
Oracle® Fusion Middleware Metadata Repository Builder's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Part Number E10540-05
Chapter 8 Working with Physical Tables, Cubes, and Joins
There is a section called Working with Multidimensional Sources in the Physical Layer, in this section is says
"Each multidimensional catalog in the data source can contain multiple physical cubes. You can import the metadata for one or more of these cubes into your Oracle BI repository. Although it is possible to create a cube table manually, it is recommended that you import metadata for cube tables and their components"
The New Utilities feature(s) is really cool, but it doesn't work for OLAP connections.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael,
it works, but its a bit tricky. I did it with Oracle OLAP and I think it must be similar with other OLAP Databases.
Rename your existing Database in Physical Layer to the name Metadata Import dialog would create. With Oracle OLAP the "Data Source Name" ist used. Just try it once.
Unfortunately you can not merge dimensions and cubes as it is with relational Objects . So you have to delete the cube and dimensions you will import from you renamed Database in Physical Layer. Of course the mapping between physical and business model will be lost
Now you can import your modified OLAP-Cubes and Dimensions and it should be placed in your renamed Database in Physical Layer
Open the sources of your logical tables in business model and add the Dimensions or Cubes in the "General" Tab. Move to the Tab "Column Mapping" and check if mapping is OK. If not (this will be the case, if you customized the column names), you have to do the mapping from the scratch .
I recommend to use the original names from the data source. If you need another name for a column, just create a new logical column and use "Derive from existing columns". Now you can reimport OLAP Metadate quicker because the Mapping is done automatically.
Hope this helps
Regards Claus

Create and access a table OUTSIDE SAPR3 schema

Hi Gurus,
Can you please help me how do I create a table outside SAPR3 schema in the same database, I have a user schema TEST in the sap database (Using SAPR3 4.6C). If any tcode does that? Or I need to use oracle sqlplus.
HOW an ABAP progroam can access and manipulate the data available in this TEST schema?
Reference to some SAP NOTE will be highly helpfull.
Regards,
Soumen.

Very good, now we are getting more information.
The data is NOT on the oracle database but outside.
In this case DBCON (from DB+CONnection) can help

Very easy, follow my mantra (Top right box-Search functionality is very useful, also sap notes search)
Lets chew this a little:
117261     Multiconnect and DB procedure enhancements for 4.0B
323151     Several DB connections with Native SQL
738371     Creating DBCON multiconnect entries for SQL Server

Lets see, in your first request you wanted to access to a different schema in the same database.
you have the licence issues and DBCON is "overkill" (even when it can work) You would be connecting to yourself with a different usser.
Probably it is easier to create synonyms at DB level and provide proper authorizations.
In your second request the DBCON makes much more sense.
You want to access to a different (external) DB. That is the reason DBCON exist.
Now we have a little "issue". I'm not Windows/SQL expert, but, in order to connect to an external DB you need the SAP library "dbslib" (I think dbsmsslib is the correct name for the SQL server)
Unfortunately, SQLServer is a Windows only program and this library is only available for Windows.
To use it (use DBCON) you will have to install an AS on a windows machine and configure the DBCON on this server and execute the program to exchange data from this AS alone (if you execute it from another one it will fail because it does not find the dbslib)
As mentioned, not much experience with non "real" Operating Systems, so perhaps someone else has more information.

Setup event table cache clear for - Essbase cube table

we have event polling table for clearing the cache now having issues in setting up for essbase physical cube tables.
1. we have structure of hyperion like this for physical cube table "CONSOL"- where schema is empty.
"Hyperion"."CONSOLX".."CONSOL"
2. Event polling table is in different database/connection
When the event table is populated without schema, polling actually looking for the table in the database configured for the event pool connection pool and not "hyperion".
*[55001] The physical table Hyperion:CONSOLX:Event Polling:CONSOL in a cache polled row does not exist.*
When i read in some blogs...I understood its working as expected(when something is null it looks in event polling database)
Has anybody configured event polling for hyperion cubes table cache clear ?
Thanks
Ayaps

what is your insert statement in UET table?
Looks like you are missing one value out of 4 required. Thats why it is considering Event Pooling in between. As you have event pooling table in different physical database, you have to fill DbName,CatalogName,SchemaName and TableName in the UET tables.

AP and AR Cube Table in R/3

Experts,
This is kind of a mix of FI and BW - I can see 3 different cubes in our BW system - one for GL, 1 for AP and 1 for AR - But what are the tables from which it gets this info :
I am under the impression that it is BSEG for GL, but then BSEG contains all the info including AR and AP - so can i say GL cube will have all of the info where AP will be just BSIK and AR BSID.
All answers would be duly rewarded with points.
Thanks,
Nandita

No I am afraid you are wrong.
BSIS will hold only the GL postings, and BSIK & BSID will hold the recon details.
Best to check the account type in BSEG or try t code FB09 to view GL data for a single a/c document.

How to acess a table in BW using Universe designer

I am trying to use this in table in x celcius for my dash board. I think By webi report u can access this table. SO I am tring to create a Universe based on this table in SAP BW.
There is no Cube ot DSO on this table.
Even I tried through JDBC Connection for Oracle 10 database but I do not know how to create universe on that.
Please help If there is any easy way.

Adding tables outside of your schema to Database diagram

Say, from what I can tell, there is no way to import a table from outside of your own schema user to a database diagram. I can drag tables from my own connection, but if it is a table that I have a public synonym to, no dice?
Anyone know if this is possible? If not, please add it to the list of enhancements.
Thanks,
Joe

Never mind. I found it. It's not exactly obvious, but if you go to the system navigator and right click on your schema name, do a "import database objects" you can do it.

SAP Web Repository, how can acess it from outside

I'm reading this http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/14/030fc5b63f11d5993900508b6b8b11/content.htm
and it says this:
"You use a Web repository (manager) to provide read access to documents stored on remote Web servers."
This could be really useful to me, but how does this work? I'm able to add objects to it using the transaction SMW0 but how can I get a valid url so that the users in my network can acess these files.
the only FM I know is 'DP_PUBLISH_WWW_URL' but this generates a kind of links that my browser can't process (something like SAPR3://WebRepository/0123456789/ZMY_FILE?Version=00001")
How can I do to create valid links to these documents, so that I can open them im my web browser??

though they have the same name, they are different! The SAP library you mention is about Knowledge Management.
If you want to generate an external URL for the Web Repository (SMW0), first read Note 865853 - WebReporting/WebRFC obsolete as of NW2004s. I don't know your SAP release, but if you are on a 7.0, you need to "release for internet" WWW_GET_MIME_OBJECT function module via SMW0, and probably activate /sap/bc/webrfc service using SICF transaction. Then you'll be able to access your ZZZZZ web document using URL like this: http://youserver:port/sap/bc/webrfc/!?_function=WWW_GET_MIME_OBJECT&_object_id=ZZZZZ&client=220&language=EN
Note: DP is only for allowing the HTML browser (and other SAPGUI controls) to access objects transmitted from SAP to the SAPGUI using the Data Provider service.

Load and view into blobs in table outside of Apex installation

Is it possible to use APEX to load and view blob types(pds, docs etc) into a table with a blob type
where the table is in a separate database and instance then where Apex is installed? So would Apex be able to access
this table thru a db link?

Hi Kenn,
You are probably better off posting this request in this forum User Interface Development in ABAP as you are more likely to get a response.

Acessing MSEG Table

hi,
we have a report which in which it display how much material is recived till date and how much is issued till date, that report is made on MSEG table which makes the report very slow, is there any way out to get the report from any other tables instead of the using MSGE or MKPF tables, i want to optimise this report as it tales lots of resources on the server due to which the server performance goes down.
thanx
abhishek suppal

Hi,
you might start with purchase / sales orders - but I don't see how this should reduce number of hits and being faster.
So try to use indices for MKPF / MSEG selection. There is an index BUD on MKPF for posting date, be sure to use this. If you have some different document types and your report is only interested in one at a time, create a additional index including BLART.
Access on MSEG will then be with primary key. If you are only interested in one (or some view) materials, start with MSEG might be possible, too. But hits for one material without date restriction might be higher then just one day - have a look.
If a join doesn't use indices (or in a wrong order), then try to update database statistics first (DB20). If this is no help, make two separate selects, second one with 'for all entries'.
And of course: select only needed columns (no select *), use as much where conditions as possible...
Regards,
Christian

Connect to a cube with Integrated WIndows Sercurity for Windows user with computer outside the domain

Hello,I am trying to connect to an MSSAS cube with a windows user ( and i need this user to be the end user that connect to the cube) from outside the domain.It will be .Net application.I use msmdpump.dll before but the thing is it impersonate the connection
so the user that connect to the Cube is not the real client user with is a problem for me because i like to manage the security throw roles.
SSRS is able to do what i am trying to achieve ( it ask you your domain user and password) then connect to the cube with these credential which is great,but i do that ?
With ADOMD.Net how do you provide windows user/password in the connection string ?
I tryed to only active windows security access with IIS and MSSAS but it's not working with a computer outside the domain even if in excel i provide a windows user/password.

Acess the sap r/3 table

hi everyone,
    can i access the sap r/3 tables directly without rfc .....
   any possibility is there means plz send me reply........
   present i am doing bapi via jco using RFMs.........
with regards,'
satish

Hi,
This question has already been asked (and answered) here - without FM can i acess sap table via jco? and here - bapi problem via jco and here - through jdbc driver connect to sap Not sure if points are getting awarded or not...
Anil, you are posting very confusing answers that don't help people who don't know about SAP and RFC technology. A BAPI is a type of function module. An RFC is a type of function module. A function module is a function module. To clarify, there is only one object called remotely, that is a function module. For this to happen it HAS to be RFC enabled (Remote Function Call.) A BAPI is a function module that completes a certain piece of business logic in entirety, such as creating a document or changing a document - typically methods of business objects as you suggest. There should be no distinction between RFC and BAPI. Typically, all BAPI function modules are RFC-enabled so they can be accessed from remote systems/applications. Any function module that is RFC enabled can be accessed from a remote system. To access SAP data from external systems/applications via JCo you need a function module that is RFC enabled. There are a lot of RFC enabled function modules supplied by SAP - if you are developing custom logic or working with custom tables on the SAP system then you will need to develop a custom RFC enabled function module (call it a BAPI if you want!) that you can then call via JCo.
I'd also say that connecting directly to a SAP database is very bad practice and shouldn't be suggested to resolve issues - data integrity can suffer and cause serious problems for the SAP system. This method should be used with custom database instances (say created via the dictionary builder in NDS.)

/* + ordered */ hint used in relational cube operator

We are using OWB 10.2.0.3 build a relational datamart. The mapping which loads the fact table has a joiner joining three tables, the result of the joiner goes into the cube operator. We realized that the code created by the cube operator contains the /* + ordered */ hint. This might make sense if you do not have any joiner outside the cube operator, but in our case the hint results into a sub-optimal explain plain.
Has anyone any idea how to get rid of this hint? What is the reason for this hint?
Thanks in advance, Maren

Hi,
if you open the configuration of the mapping, select cube operators, select your target cube, select table operators, selct your cube table -> what do you see in the property 'Loading hints'?

Detlef
