Active table in DSO

Hi Friends,
What is the property of the Active Table of D.S.O means it alway has the functionality like Overwrite or addition also.
OR it is based on the settings of the field in the transformation.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Vas

Hi Suneel,
1)Try to activate the request manually,then u will be getting "Green" symbol.The reason why the request is "Red" although ur long text are in green might be due to the system performance or there might be anyother errors in the 'Processing' tab.Try to check it 7 activate the request manually.
2)U can 'repeat' the ODS by right clicking on it why bcoz activation of records might be terminated so that request will become 'Green'.
It might help you.
Thanks& regards,
Madhu

No data in Active table of DSO for fields populated by End Routine

Hi,
I have a Standard DSO where we are populating few fields by using End Routine.
Last week we added 5 more fields to DSO and wrote a logic in End ROutine to populate the DSO. These new fields dont have any mapping and these are just populated by end routine only.
When I loaded the data from Data Source TO DSO, Data is loaded correctly into NEW DATA Table of DSO for all the fields. I could see correct data as per the logic in NEW Table including old and new fields.
However, when I activate the DSO, I could not find the data for new fields which I added last week. Remaining fields are getting data as per the logic. Only these five fields are not having any data.
Can you please let me know if any one had similar issue. I was under impression that all the data in the new table will go to Active table when we activate the DSO.
Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Krishna

What version of BW are you using? When editing your end-routine, a pop-up should display saying which fields you want populated/transferred from the end routine. This pop-up will not display if you are using a lower version of BW 7.x. To get around this, make sure that your newly added fields have a transformation rule type set to constant. This will make sure that the fields get populated when transferring from new to active tables.

Date format accepted in new table but not in active table for DSO, BI 7.0

Hi All,
Need help from the experts, i was trying to load Flate file data in CSV(Coma separated) and cell type general for dates(yyyymmdd). everything was fine i have a routine for new fields in DSO for Fiscal week and Fiscal Quater which is calculating based on my Flate file date i.e delivery date(yyyymmdd).
The New table of DSO means before activation everything was fine and all the logics and mappings working for the Fiscal week and Fiscal Quater and that can be visible, But after activation the same only the Fiscal week and Fiscal Quater is not showing data, its comming as blank and '000000' for all records.
As the Fiscal week and Fiscal Quater is maintained as custmised InfoObject with data type NUM.
Can you tell what i am missing, because i tried with different cell type also in CSV File.
Thanks and Regards,

Selecting Wildcard ' *** ' as a value in Bex and Active Table for DSO

Good day
I have search SDN, but could not find a similar request/enquiry.
I am extracting master data for vehicle category and vehicle sub-category via DB Connect from an Oracle db. From a source in Germany, the vehicle subcat is filled with ' *** ' due to business reasons. This ' *** ' carries a value and BW should be able to display all the ' *** ' for a certain vehicle category in BEx and in the master data or active data in DSO when transaction data is loaded. The master data is loaded with the ' *** ', no problem there, but when you want to display only the subcategories = ' *** ' , then all the data for all the subcategories registered under the specific category will display:
Master Data
Vehicle Cat : Vehicle Subcat : Description
Z : *** : Freigtliner
Z : CAT : Caterpillar
Z : DD : Detroit Diesel
Thus Z and *** will display the data for Z ***, Z CAT and Z DD.
Is there a way I can change this and only display data for ***?
Your expert assistance will be appreciated.
Cj

Hi,
You mean to say is you need to display attributes of vehicle category?
If so.. then add vehicle category in rows and then right click->attributes->select the sub category. Right click on the vehicle category and then properties->choose for no display.
Accordingly you can choose whether to display or not to display in properties.
Execute and test the query for your results.
Hope this helps,

Primary key for active table

hi
can anyone tell me step by step to create primarykey for active table of dso that already has data loaded. few requests are activated and few are not activated.
points for sure.
regards
anil

Anil,
This is absolutely mandatory to delete the data from any of the table if you want to change the key fields of the table. This is as good as universal law in data base theory
Now as far as your ODS is concerned, you have to delete the complete data from it and then you can change the key fields of it. Again you just need to change this in the definition of ODS and not in any particular table.
Just change the definition of ODS in development and transport it to production. Make sure top delete the data before you transport it. If not, transport will fail.
Hope this info helps you.

Yogesh

How to check if a DSO Active Table is being used in any look-up's?

Hi Gurus,
We have a DSO that is being loaded on a weekly basis. Now this DSO is being loaded right from the time our project went live. There are no reports built on top of this DSO and the DSO is not being used as a Data Mart i.e. it doesn't feed any other DSO's or InfoCube's. Also this DSO is not being used in any MultiProviders.
So the only sensible reason for using this DSO that we can think of is that the data from this DSO is being 'looked up' by some other DSO's or InfoCube at run-time. So Is it possible to check if the active data table of an DSO is being ;looked up' at run time by some other data loads? I already tried using an 'Where Used List' on the active data table of the DSO, but it didn't show any results.
Thanks
Arvind

Try the following:
Check the table RSAABAP in SE16, you can search the technical name of DSOs active table in field EDIC.
You get all Code-IDs, where this table is used in ABAP coding.
In RSAROUT you can check, which code-type it is.
Now you know, if the DSO is used in any routines.
Hope this helps.

Hi
You are trying to update/upload the Records which are already been there in the DSO Active Data Table which has the partition.
Try to see the Record Nos already been activated and update/upload with selective, if possible.
You can trace the changes at Change log table for the same.
Hope it helps

Need of Change log deletion for a DSO, when DTP delta Init with Active Tabl

Hi,
Thanks for your time, please help me with the following
Scenario: I have Cube1 being updated from DSO1 with DTP delta, for quite some time. As per new requirement, I would need to create new data mart such that Cube2 gets updated from DSO1.
In order to Configure the delta, I am Considering Following options, please let me know, which one is right one.
Note: DSO1 is in Overwrite Mode.
Create one DTP with update Mode "Delta" , and "Active Table". I knew Delta Changes are captured in change log, but my understanding is, when you execute the DTP for the First time, it fetches the records from Active Table. And from 2nd Run onwards the very "same DTP" without "any changes" get the records from change log, even if we choose "Active Table".
is my understanding is Right?
Do I have to consider deleting the change log, because DSO1 is in Production from quite some time which is in Overwrite mode?
Do I have to create a DTP with Delta and Active Table, run the dtp Once(Init), then choose "Change Log for subsequent runs explicitly
please help me with these. I have reviewed many sap help articles and sdn threads but none of them were helpful. all of them explains, difference b/w active table and change log table, also gives scenarios like use a full DTP and then 2nd DTP with Delta without Data transfer. I am not looking for that kind of details.
Appreciate any help, Thanks again

Hi Uma,
Thanks for your response.
to your question, If I need to load all the data from DSO1 to Cube1, answer is NO. if you read my post once again,
Existing Flow is : DSO1 --> Cube1 (Means, Active Table and Change Logs of DSO1 already Filled Up)
Requirement is: DSO1 --> Cube2. (Need to Init the Delta, and Detlas going forward)
My Questions:
(1) Imagine, DSO1 has 10 requests, so we see resepctive data in Active Table as well as Change Log. As a matter of fact, Data is being updated to DSO1 in Overwrite Mode, so all the changes(10 requests equivalent) would be captured in Change Log, which in turn helpful / used when we do Delta from DSO1 to any Cube, in my case, it used to update to Cube1. As per new requirement, it needs to update to Cube2.
My assumption is, if I choose "Active table and Delta in Extraction Tab" in DTP, During First Run (Delta Init), Data would be fethed from Active table. And the 2nd Run Onwards, delta records would be fetehced from Change Log automatically, even if we don't change the selection from Active Table to Change Log.
Is My Assumption Right?,
in this process, Do I have to Delete Change Log
(2) Do I have to Explicitly change DTP setting from "Active Table to Change Log" Once Delta Init has been run with setting "Active table" inorder to get Deltas from DSO1 --> Cube2 ?
Appreciate your help

SID in Update Table of DSO

Hi,
What is the use of the SID in the update (or new) table of DSO? Anyway the values of the data and key fields are stored in this table. How does the SID entry help here?
Regards,

Hello Suraj
Yes , you are correct why do we need SID for DSO if it supposed to have a Flat Structure like a Db table? Quite surprising really.
But the reason lies as BEx queries are dependent on SIDs, i.e all the BEx queries need SIDs to run. This is common for queries on Cube, DSO , InfoSet of MP. That is how BEx queries have been designed.
You can understand that by running a query and checking the work process detail from SM50. You will see all the joins are based on SID.
In DSO settings you may / may not choose the option of "Generation of SIDs upon Activation". If you do not choose the option, SIDs will not be generated during activation and in BW3.5 you can not report on this DSO. But in BI 7 , you can report in this case also, as system generates SIDs run time. Query response will be slower then.
If you do not generate SIDs during activation, that does not have any impact on DTP loading time. But it has huge impact on DSO activation time. Not generating SIDs will make your DSO activation time 1/3 rd approximately.
Hope , I could make your doubt clear. Let me know if you have any more question.
cheers

Error while Activating the Standard DSO

Hi,
I am getting the below error while Activating the Standard DSO.
Characteristic 0DPM_DCAS__0CSM_SPRO: DS object 0DPM_DCAS__0CSM_STAT (master data check) does not exist
I tried searching the forum , but didnt find any answer.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you,
Adhvi.

Hi,
Are you getting the error while trying to activate the DSO data after loading or just while trying to activate the DSO itself.
If it is during the activation of a request,then please check if you have loaded some data in the DSO which doesnt have the corresponding Master Data loaded.For preventing this, you can check in Infopackage/DTP -"No Update without Master Data".
You can also go into RSRV and perform elementary tests for the DSO and check the SID table consistency.
Thanks,
Divya.

Error In the activation process of DSO

Hi,
I am working with BI7, when i was activating data in DSO i got an error.The data has been loaded upto PSA and new table of DSO successfully but it is not loaded to active table at that time it is giving an error.
Please provide the solution for this.
Thanks,
Sarau.

Hi,
There are a couple of places where you can see the activation progress.
1) To start with SM37 job log > (give BI_PROCESS_ODSACTIVAT or BI_ODSA*)
and it should give you the details about the activation job. If its active make sure that the job log is getting updated at frequent intervals. If its completed check the log for ODS activation.
2) For very huge number of records SM37 job log may not get update frequently. In that case you have a workaround.
Go to contents > Active Data table > No. of entries > This will keep on increasing at frequent intervals.
3) SM66 > Get the job details (server name PID etc from SM37) and see in SM66 if the job is running or not. See if its accessing/updating some tables or is not doing anything at all.
4) Go to Activate button in Target > Request tab. Inside you can see a job log button. It will also show some log regarding the last activation.
5) If the Reporting icon has appeared near the request id in ODS. If it appears that may indicate that request is available for reporting
6) Check the request status in these tables.
Table RSICCONT table contains the requests that are actually loaded in a target.
Table RSMONICDP contains the request id of the fact table.
Table RSODSACTREQ contains information if an ODS is available for reporting/deleting inactive requests also possible.
Table RSODSACTUPDTYPE.

Problem in Activating from New data to Active data in DSO

Hi All,
For my DSO I am fetcdhing some fields from other DSO table , through END Routine ,. After running the DTP , I am getting data for the fileds which i am fetching through routine in New data Table.
After Activating the New data table to Active data table I cant able to see my data.
ie in Active data table there is no data for the fields which i am fetching through end routine after activating the request . One more thing my request is activated sucessfully.
it shows ready for reporting.
Please help me on this................................

Hi ,
After unchecking the checkboxes mentioned in my previous post and still if you dont find data in active table then I think the problem might be because of Database Statistics not being up-to-date for your ODS tables which causes a delay in data load completion process. You can try refreshing the Database Statistics of your ODS both tables and indexes (active data table, change log table and new data table). This probably may resolve your problem.

Difference between Delta "Change Log" and "Active Table (Without Archive)"?

In BI7.0 environment, we perform our Delta loads (the DTP settings under the Extraction tab, there is a field called Extraction Mode and it's value is selected as "Delta") every day among all our DSOs.
There is a section called "Delta Init. Extraction From..." under the same tab in DTP, there are four radio buttons:
Active Table (With Archive)
Active Table (Without Archive)
Archive (Full Extraction Only)
Change Log
Then what is the difference between "Change Log" and "Active Table (Without Archive)" if both Extraction Mode is "Delta" for two Delta loads?
Thanks!

Hi ,
The new options SP16 has are:(Chk Note 1096771)
Active Table (with Archive)
The data is read from the active table and from the archive or from a near-line storage if one exists. You can choose this option even if there is no active data archiving process yet for the DataStore object.
Active Table (Without Archive)
The data is only read from the active table. If there is data in the archive or in a near-line storage at the time of extraction, this data is not extracted.
Archive (Only Full Extraction)
The data is only read from the archive or from a near-line storage. Data is not extracted from the active table.
Change Log
The data is read from the change log of the DataStore object.
Delta will always be picked from change log table.Only during intialization you can choose between getting data from change log or active table.If you are doing the load first time and are initializzing delta in subsequent data targets, then pulling data from active table will get lesse volume of data then it would have got from change log table....All subsequent deltas will be picked up from the change log. And when we need to reload data into the data target (which would be a full load) - we use active table.
From change log : you can take below ones as targets
1) Cube 2) DSO with Addition as the update for the Keyfigures
From Active table: you can take below ones as targets
1) Cube ,if and only if, the records are never changes in the source once after creation
2) DSO with Addition as the update for the Keyfigures ,if and only if, the records are never changes in the source once after creation
3) DSO with Overwrite as the update for the Keyfigures ( incase deletions is not happening in the source system)

Spry Active Tables in Spry tabbed panels

Hi everyone and thanks for advance for dealing with my inexperience.
I'm using dreamweaver cs4 on a mac and I'm trying to create 2 tabbed panels, each with a Spry active table within it that uses a nondestructive filter wired to a spry select menu to navigate through galleries. When I make 1 of these, it works perfectly. The problem is that when I try to create the second one, it screws everything up. Sometimes it can't find the datasets for the select lists anymore, sometimes nothing shows up in one of the tables. I've run a lot of trial and error, and I just can't detect a pattern. I have very little experience coding and I'm working form a tutorial book. I didn't think adding the second table in would cause a problem, but apparently it does. Can anybody help make this work? I'll post the code below.
Thanks!

This works just fine for one of the tabs:
var rs_SpryCasteAbilities = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "CasteAbilities");
var rs_SpryProfAbilities = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "ProfessionAbilities");
rs_SpryProfAbilities.gallery = '1';
function chooseSet(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
if (row['Prof_ID'] == rs_SpryProfAbilities.gallery) {
return row;
return null;
rs_SpryProfAbilities.filter(chooseSet);
function changeSet(set)
rs_SpryProfAbilities.gallery = set;
rs_SpryProfAbilities.filter(chooseSet);
rs_SpryProfAbilities.setCurrentRowNumber(0);
var rows = rs_SpryProfAbilities.getData();
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
if (rows[i]['Prof_ID'] == set) {
rs_SpryProfAbilities.setCurrentRowNumber(i);
break;
var rs_Professions = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "Professions");
var rs_Castes = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "Castes");
//with this being the code for the selectors further down the page//
<div spry:region="rs_Castes">
                    <select name="select2" spry:repeatchildren="rs_Castes">
                      <option value="{Caste_ID}">{Caste_Name}</option>
                    </select>
                  </div>
//and//
<div spry:region="rs_Professions">
      <select name="select" spry:repeatchildren="rs_Professions" onchange="changeSet(this.value)">
        <option value="{Profession_ID}">{Profession_Name}</option>
      </select>
    </div>
This does not work for both:
var rs_SpryCasteAbilities = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "CasteAbilities");
rs_SpryCasteAbilities.gallery = '1';
function chooseSet(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
if (row[Caste_ID'] == rs_SpryCasteAbilities.gallery) {

var rows = rs_SpryCasteAbilities.getData();
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
if (rows[i]['Caste_ID'] == set) {
rs_SpryCasteAbilities.setCurrentRowNumber(i);
break;
var rs_SpryProfAbilities = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "ProfessionAbilities");
rs_SpryProfAbilities.gallery = '1';
function chooseSet(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
if (row['Prof_ID'] == rs_SpryProfAbilities.gallery) {
return row;
return null;
rs_SpryProfAbilities.filter(chooseSet);
function changeSet(set)
rs_SpryProfAbilities.gallery = set;
rs_SpryProfAbilities.filter(chooseSet);
rs_SpryProfAbilities.setCurrentRowNumber(0);
var rows = rs_SpryProfAbilities.getData();
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
if (rows[i]['Prof_ID'] == set) {
rs_SpryProfAbilities.setCurrentRowNumber(i);
break;
