Activate Cube using ABAP

Hi
We have written some ABAP which allows us to do bulk updates on cubes - this is particularly useful when we're adding / removing navigational attributes, as there are many many cubes in the system.
In addition to adding the navigational attribute, the ABAP then saves and activates the cube, and all the associated update rules, which would now have become inactive. This is really useful, as it means we don't have to have someone manually making all these changes, and possibly missing something along the way.
However, what we have now found, is that although the cube is activated, and is shown as active in RSA1, and can be used in Multiproviders, the newly added Navigation Attributes are not available in the Aggregate Maintenance screen. This also means that any aggregates that were there, are now not available, which is clearly not ideal.
The 2 standard SAP FM's that are used to SAVE and ACTIVATE the cubes are:
1. RSDG_CUBE_SAVE
2. RSDG_CUBE_ACTIVATE
We have found a manual fix to the problem, which is to open the cube in edit mode from RSA1, save it, go back to RSA1 (don't activate yet), re-open the cube in edit mode, then activate. If these steps are followed, then the navigational attribute is available in the aggregate maintenance screen.
I found a note which speaks about table /bic/v[cube name]2 not being updated, but that note only applies to APO. What I have noticed, is that:
- when the navigational attribute is added, it appears in the table
- if the manual fix (open/save/exit/open/activate) is followed, then the order of the items in the V2 table is changed
Has anyone written a similar program that I could possibly leach some ideas off, as I really would like to get this sorted.
Cheers,
Andrew

RSDG_CUBE_ACTIVATE - as mentioned in my original post, I already use this FM in my ABAP. It activates the cube, but still the navigational attributes are not available, and the V2 table is not updated.
If I debug the SAVE routine from RSA1, then it appears there is something additional happening in the SAP standard program, that I am not able to accomplish by using the RSDG_CUBE_SAVE FM.
Transfer Structures - doesn't matter whether I activate these or not, the navigational attributes are not available.
Cheers,
Andrew

How can i update data of DSO and Cube using ABAP??

Hello Experts
I have a requrement in which i need to update/ delete data from DSO and cube based on certain keys using ABAP.
Please let me know how can i modify contets of cube or active table of DSO.
Thanks
Sudeep

Hi
I have requirement such that i need to update certain key figures in DSO after certain time.
for eg. say record with key a is loaded to DSO and currospoding key figure was loaded with value 10
after few days because of certain parameters changing in system i need to modify key figure value.
currently i am doing same using 1 self transformation i.e. by loading same data again in same DSO.
Amount of data is very huge and causing performance issues in system.
now A is not key but i need to modify record for few combinations which apperar multiple times in DSO.
Same DSO data is loaded into Cube regularly.
I may need to update data after gap of few weeks as well.
This design will be used as template and needto keep whole logic generic.
So wring Function module can make it generic.
Thanks

Query on a cube using abap

Hello,
i've programed a report and I want to get data from a cube in bw. How can I access them? Via MDX - ior is MDX only for external queries? I can't find a example to use the MDX functions.
Alexander

Basically to report the data in Infocube BW Queries are used with which you can see the output in Excel or in a Web Page.
For Reporting in BW ABap Programs are not used as ABAP Programs does not not Provide drilldown and multi dimensional view.
See the below link for creating MDX Queries

Web Service consumer using ABAP-PROXY

Hello,
I want to test Web Service consumer using ABAP-PROXY . So I do what is explain in the weblog :
[http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/WebServiceconsumerusingABAP-PROXY]
But when I execute the programm, the message : 'No valid source context supplied'.
But, proxy and port are ok and activate.
Can you help me.
Thanks.

Hi Jitesh,
Thanks for the link. I checked but did not find helpful info there.
I have managed to make it work yesterday. Two issues were identified.
1. The namespace in the WSDL file imported into ESR as an external definition. I need to create the same namespace in ESR before importing the WSDL and then import the WSDL into that namespace.
2. The authentication method. The authentication method in the IIS configuration of the .NET web service has to be set to Basic Authentication. Then I set logical port of the consumer proxy in the OSAMANAGER to use Basic Authentication also. So far only the Basic Authentication works in my test scenario.
I am closing this question.

Outbound interface using ABAP Proxy

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create an interface between a Z table and XI using ABAP Proxy. I suggested file based interface, but client is insisting using ABAP proxy. Z table is in IS-Retail side.
I will appreciate is somebody can share a program to do this.
Any advise/guidance is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi There
From your subject line i can see that you want to develop an outbound proxy which means you want to send data to XI from your SAP custom table. That means you need to extract all the information from your Z-table and send it to XI via proxy.
If my understanding is correct then what you need to do is :
1.Ask your XI team team to generate a message interface for you of type 'outbound' and include the structure in the way they want you to send data to them.
2.Once the message interface is created by them , you can generate the same in transaction SPROXY . Search for your interface namespace and then right click
on it and say 'CREATE' . Give the appropriate package and prefix to it.Generate the proxy, save and activate
3. Now you can create a report and then according to the structure generated by XI , you can popluate your internal table to be passed back.
4. Call the method of the proxy in your report and send the data to XI.
I can give you an example of how to do this:
suppose you have built up an internal table by extracting data from your Z-table .Lets say it is tbl_output.
In your report you need to trigger the proxy method as follows:
Note: i am assuming i am triggering an asynchronous proxy method from my report:
DATA:lo_senddata TYPE REF TO CL_DATA_OUT,
                  lo_system_fault TYPE REF TO cx_ai_system_fault,
                  lo_root         TYPE REF TO cx_root.
ls_output-output_file-data[] = tbl_data[].
CREATE OBJECT lo_senddata
TRY.
* call the asynchronous method of the proxy and send the data
          CALL METHOD lo_senddata->execute_asynchronous
            EXPORTING
              output = ls_output.
* get the system exceptions and display the error text
        CATCH cx_ai_system_fault INTO lo_system_fault.
          WRITE:/ 'System Error:'(E01),
                  lo_system_fault->errortext.
          RETURN.
* get the root exception and display the textid value
        CATCH cx_root INTO lo_root.
          WRITE:/ 'System Error:'(E01),
                  lo_root->textid.
          RETURN.
      ENDTRY.
COMMIT WORK.
<b>Note:</b> 1. CL_DATA_OUT is the message interface class.
                  2. ls_output is the output structure to be sent back to XI and data
                     is an internal table with the same structure as tbl_data.
                  3. It is very imp to catch exceptions as i have shown u above.
Please let me know if you are a little clear or you need some more clarifications on this.
cheers

Creating aggregates using abap instead of relying on the interface

Does anyone know how to create aggregates in BW by using abap instead of the habitual dragging and dropping?

Hi dear,
I know there is a report to copy an existing aggregate to a cube to another one (look at OSS note 608814 "Program for copying aggregate definitions")...
Maybe this can be useful...

Upload an INFOCUBE using ABAP Proagram

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know, How to upload flat file data into Infocube using
ABAP in BI.
Thanks,
Arshad

Hi Arshad,
First - have you seen and used this white paper detailing how to upload a flat file into a cube using BPS User Exit Function:
Using SAP Gui: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4674d590-0201-0010-2793-eb97c24069c5
Using Web Browser:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7f6dd590-0201-0010-bca8-b1bb91f6951b
Second - when you put the flat file records into the table 'xth_data' are you inserting or just overwriting the table? If you are doing a move command in ABAP this will overwrite your 'other' data... also in the paper there is an if statement saying whether or not you want an overwrite or insert. Make sure you do not clear or refresh the xth_data table before inserting.
NOTE: when using the insert command you must be sure there are no duplicate entries - otherwise you will get a dump. (you might want to do a read first to see if there is a duplicate).

How to get Cost centers a below a cost center from hierarchy using ABAP

Hi !!
I am currently developing a user application wherin i need to give a dropdown help to the users for cost center field.
How ever I need to give him those cost centers in the help which are lower to the cost center to which he is assigned .
For example he is at department level which has cost center '90000' he should get the cost centers of the offices assigned to that department in the hierarchy .Also cost centers of various lower nodes which might have been assigned to these offices and so on so forth .
How can I get those cost centers which lie lower to a particular cost center in the hierarrchy using ABAP ..as I am in to BSP application and have access using ABAP.
thanks in advance

BSPIAN,
usually there will be a hierarchy table where the cost center hierarchy is stored. see if you can find that table.
To go about the same , activate the datasource for cost center hierarchy from business content
Execute the datasource in RSA3
do a background SQL trace and you will find the necessary table for the same.
Hope it helps..

Hi Mahi,
To partition the cube double click the cube this will take you to the definition of the cube. Click on the extras button at the top of the screen. you will get a dropdown, there you can see Partition option, click on that you will get another window there you all time chars select on which you want to partition and continue.
you will get another popup window there you have to give Range.
When you activate the cube fact tble will be created in DB with number of partitions corresponding to your Range.
While you do this there should be no data in the cube.

Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5

Hi Experts,
                   Kindly give me the detailed steps with screens about Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5
       ...............Please

Hi ,
Procedure
You are in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the DataSource tree.
       1.      Select the application components in which you want to create the DataSource and choose Create DataSource.
       2.      On the next screen, enter a technical name for the DataSource, select the type of DataSource and choose Copy.
The DataSource maintenance screen appears.
       3.      Go to the General tab page.
                            a.      Enter descriptions for the DataSource (short, medium, long).
                            b.      As required, specify whether the DataSource builds an initial non-cumulative and can return duplicate data records within a request.
                            c.      Specify whether you want to generate the PSA for the DataSource in the character format. If the PSA is not typed it is not generated in a typed structure but is generated with character-like fields of type CHAR only.
Use this option if conversion during loading causes problems, for example, because there is no appropriate conversion routine, or if the source cannot guarantee that data is loaded with the correct data type.
In this case, after you have activated the DataSource you can load data into the PSA and correct it there.
       4.      Go to the Extraction tab page.
                            a.      Define the delta process for the DataSource.
                            b.      Specify whether you want the DataSource to support direct access to data.
                            c.      Real-time data acquisition is not supported for data transfer from files.
                            d.      Select the adapter for the data transfer. You can load text files or binary files from your local work station or from the application server.
Text-type files only contain characters that can be displayed and read as text. CSV and ASCII files are examples of text files. For CSV files you have to specify a character that separates the individual field values. In BI, you have to specify this separator character and an escape character which specifies this character as a component of the value if required. After specifying these characters, you have to use them in the file. ASCII files contain data in a specified length. The defined field length in the file must be the same as the assigned field in BI.
Binary files contain data in the form of Bytes. A file of this type can contain any type of Byte value, including Bytes that cannot be displayed or read as text. In this case, the field values in the file have to be the same as the internal format of the assigned field in BI.
Choose Properties if you want to display the general adapter properties.
                            e.      Select the path to the file that you want to load or enter the name of the file directly, for example C:/Daten/US/Kosten97.csv.
You can also create a routine that determines the name of your file. If you do not create a routine to determine the name of the file, the system reads the file name directly from the File Name field.
                              f.      Depending on the adapter and the file to be loaded, make further settings.
■       For binary files:
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
■       Text-type files:
Specify how many rows in your file are header rows and can therefore be ignored when the data is transferred.
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
For ASCII files:
If you are loading data from an ASCII file, the data is requested with a fixed data record length.
For CSV files:
If you are loading data from an Excel CSV file, specify the data separator and the escape character.
Specify the separator that your file uses to divide the fields in the Data Separator field.
If the data separator character is a part of the value, the file indicates this by enclosing the value in particular start and end characters. Enter these start and end characters in the Escape Charactersfield.
You chose the; character as the data separator. However, your file contains the value 12;45 for a field. If you set u201C as the escape character, the value in the file must be u201C12;45u201D so that 12;45 is loaded into BI. The complete value that you want to transfer has to be enclosed by the escape characters.
If the escape characters do not enclose the value but are used within the value, the system interprets the escape characters as a normal part of the value. If you have specified u201C as the escape character, the value 12u201D45 is transferred as 12u201D45 and 12u201D45u201D is transferred as 12u201D45u201D.
In a text editor (for example, Notepad) check the data separator and the escape character currently being used in the file. These depend on the country version of the file you used.
Note that if you do not specify an escape character, the space character is interpreted as the escape character. We recommend that you use a different character as the escape character.
If you select the Hex indicator, you can specify the data separator and the escape character in hexadecimal format. When you enter a character for the data separator and the escape character, these are displayed as hexadecimal code after the entries have been checked. A two character entry for a data separator or an escape sign is always interpreted as a hexadecimal entry.
                            g.      Make the settings for the number format (thousand separator and character used to represent a decimal point), as required.
                            h.      Make the settings for currency conversion, as required.
                              i.      Make any further settings that are dependent on your selection, as required.
       5.      Go to the Proposal tab page.
This tab page is only relevant for CSV files. For files in different formats, define the field list on the Fields tab page.
Here you create a proposal for the field list of the DataSource based on the sample data from your CSV file.
                            a.      Specify the number of data records that you want to load and choose Upload Sample Data.
The data is displayed in the upper area of the tab page in the format of your file.
The system displays the proposal for the field list in the lower area of the tab page.
                            b.      In the table of proposed fields, use Copy to Field List to select the fields you want to copy to the field list of the DataSource. All fields are selected by default.
       6.      Go to the Fields tab page.
Here you edit the fields that you transferred to the field list of the DataSource from the Proposal tab page. If you did not transfer the field list from a proposal, you can define the fields of the DataSource here.
                            a.      To define a field, choose Insert Row and specify a field name.
                            b.      Under Transfer, specify the decision-relevant DataSource fields that you want to be available for extraction and transferred to BI.
                            c.      Instead of generating a proposal for the field list, you can enter InfoObjects to define the fields of the DataSource. Under Template InfoObject, specify InfoObjects for the fields in BI. This allows you to transfer the technical properties of the InfoObjects into the DataSource field.
Entering InfoObjects here does not equate to assigning them to DataSource fields. Assignments are made in the transformation. When you define the transformation, the system proposes the InfoObjects you entered here as InfoObjects that you might want to assign to a field.
                            d.      Change the data type of the field if required.
                            e.      Specify the key fields of the DataSource.
These fields are generated as a secondary index in the PSA. This is important in ensuring good performance for data transfer process selections, in particular with semantic grouping.
                              f.      Specify whether lowercase is supported.
                            g.      Specify whether the source provides the data in the internal or external format.
                            h.      If you choose the external format, ensure that the output length of the field (external length) is correct. Change the entries, as required.
                              i.      If required, specify a conversion routine that converts data from an external format into an internal format.
                              j.      Select the fields that you want to be able to set selection criteria for when scheduling a data request using an InfoPackage. Data for this type of field is transferred in accordance with the selection criteria specified in the InfoPackage.
                            k.      Choose the selection options (such as EQ, BT) that you want to be available for selection in the InfoPackage.
                              l.      Under Field Type, specify whether the data to be selected is language-dependent or time-dependent, as required.
       7.      Check, save and activate the DataSource.
       8.      Go to the Preview tab page.
If you select Read Preview Data, the number of data records you specified in your field selection is displayed in a preview.
This function allows you to check whether the data formats and data are correct.
