Add a field to a cube in BI 7.0

Hi,
I want to add a charachteristic to an infocude without deleting the data in the infocube.
I guess that REMODELING is the solution, but I'm not sure wich alternative to choose. Or even if REMODELING is the right solution?
The field I want to add to the infocube comes from the DSO that the infocube is loaded from.
In the remodeling transaction You have several options under the title USING, and I'm not sure
wich one to use?
1. Constant
2. Attribute of charachteristics
3. 1:1 mapping with characteristics
4. customer exit
If You use alternative 2 or 3 You just have the attributes within the specific dimension to choose from.
Thanks,
Ingmarie

Hi,
Precaution before remodelling:
1. As a precaution, make a back-up of your data before you start remodeling.
2 .Before you start remodeling, make sure:
a. You have stopped any process chains that run periodically and affect the corresponding InfoProvider. Do not restart these process chains until remodeling is finished.
b. There is enough available tablespace on the database.
3. After remodeling, check which BI objects that are connected to the InfoProvider (transformation rules, MultiProviders, queries and so on) have been deactivated. You have to reactivate these objects manually
Pls chk this link for details for step by step:

Not able to add new fields in Content cube

Hi all
I think I had this post earlier too, but I haven't been able to add new fields in a Business content cube. I added them in the cube but I am not sure how to update the datasource, infosource, update rule etc. in proper manner.
Please write me the details or send me in my email at
[email protected] , I would be so happy for your help.
Thank you in Advance.
Sajita

Roberto;
I am doing the third options. feeding data from source system and I tried to add them into the infosource it didn't work. In this case, do you think I need to update the data sourece too, if so how do I do that it's function module. data source I am using is '0ME_ISM_AM_REV_1'. So please give me some more details. Thank you.

How to add new fields in the cube?

Hi,
I have a cube running and loading data for 8 months now. Now I have a requirement such that I have to include 3 more fields in the report. Here, 2 fields are there in DSO and 1 field is not even in the data source. Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks and regards..

Hi Rakesh Ramanan,
For the two field that are already present in DSO,you can add them in Cube no problem in this.
But for the new field which is not present in itself in data source you need to modify the datasource .For this firstly you have to go RSA6 transaction select your data source,double click on extract structure then you can append structure,here you need to select the field which you want to add, there are four option for the append field added that are
i)Selection :They act as selection criteria for data extraction in RSA3 transaction.
ii)Hide field: As a result of this selection, the field is no longer made available in BW.
iii)Inversion : The value of the key figure is then transferred in inverted form i.e. multiplied by (u20131) into BW or BI.
iv)Field only: Deselect the indicator u2018Field Onlyu2019 to enable the Service API to pass on the append structure field to the extractor together with the fields of the delivered extract structures in the field list as well as in the selection table.
You also need to deciede that how you gonna fill this appnded field table or using function module.
there are many articla available in sdn you can go through them.I have also work on the datasource Enhancement based on the FM and frame the work in one doc if you want just reply me i will provide you that.
Thanks,
Deepak

Adding new fields to existing cube

Hi all,
We have a cube with data, now we added 2 new fields to the datasource. And want to add two more fields in the Cube to correspond to the new fields. What would be the impact on the data that is already there in the cube? Can I go ahead and add the fields in the cube and start extracting data? What I want to know is what would be the implications in such a scenario?
Any insight or help would be appreciated and fully rewarded.
Thanks,
Mav

Hi,
At least from the experience I had there were no performance issues. The only issue would be in terms of the time taken to transport. The larger the amount of data ,longer the transport time.
You can continue extraction of data for those 2 fields from that point on. No need to empty the data from the cube and reload again. Only thing is that the data in the past for these 2 fields may not be mapped to the existing data in the cube. If you want to do that dump the cube and reload. Otherwise the data will be mapped from the time you start extracting the new fields with the data in the cube.

Addition of a field in a cube

Hi
I would like to know if I can add a field in a cube without deleting the data as I dont want previous data for this added field. I am just interested in the new data coming through Delta in the cube.
Many Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Kate

Hi Kate,
You can proceed without deleting the data if you have the liberty of adding a new dimension and putting this char in the new dimension.
If this is not possible then you can refer to the loopback process: create new cube > move data to the new cube > delete data from old cube > change and activate old cube > move data back to original cube.

Adding fields to 0IC_C03 cube

Hi friends,
I have to add some fields into 0IC_C03 cube. The fields are reson for movement ,special stock indicator,sales order etc. They are cmg in the datasource 2lis_03_bf. I did add them and load the data , but the data was not coming properly. Is there any other method by which i can make use of these fields without adding them in the cube and make a multiprovider on that. I need to have the customer field also. Will this data come if i make a multiprovider on top of this . Can i make a generic datasource from the table which is giving these fields and make a DSO with these fields and make a multiprovider on it.
Will the key date concept work on this .
I would appreciate ur help.
Thanks,
Kapil

Creation of field in the cube level

hi
There is one cube in which i have to create one field which field is already in the source but not in the target level and the most importantly this cube is working cube data is loadng into it i we have to remodle this cube
so can any body tell without any distubance how we can add this fiel into the cube and map with the source and finally reflect in
the report
regards
gurkiran

Hi Gurkiran,
You don't mention your BW release, if you have 7.x then there is a remodeling function to do this, just GOTO
RSA1, right click on the cube, select 'additional functions' and then you have the 'remodeling' option.
If you have a 3.x release then you could have the problem that there is an inconsistency between the
DB and the ABAP dictionary if you try and add a field to a cube that has data already, in this case
it is better create a copy of the cube, generate an export datasource on the cube and load the data
to the copy cube, then delete the data from your original cube, make the change of adding the field
and then load the data back from the copy cube.
I hope the above helps.
Best Regards,
Des

How to add fields to Info Cube

Hi, Experts,
I have created a FM infocube 0PU_C02. It contains four DSOs: 0PU_O31, 0PU_O32. 0PU_O33 and 0PU_O43. I need to create summery report, budget detail, commitment detail report and actual line item report based on the cube and four DSOs. I can write summery report based on cube. But each detailed report is not coming from only one DSO.For example, the data for commitment detail report will come from 0PU_O31 and 0PU_O32, and maybe 0PU_O33. How I can write report based on three reports? I was trying to add more fields like "long text, ref doc ID, etc" to the cube. But it won't let me add. Can any one give me a help?
Thanks a lot!
Jack

Hi,
If I understood your question correctly. You need 4 different report from fetching data from one cube and four DSOs. Reports may contain data from one or two or all infoproviders.
The easiest way to do this. Create a multiprovider on these DSOs and cubes. Create all the reports on that multiprovider.
Thanks,

How can i add fields to a cube which is in production support

hi,
how can i add fiels to a cube which is in production support.

Hi Maruthi
You need to add new fields to cube in Development system and then transport it to production after testing.
Edit cube in RSA1. Add the new infoobjects from right hand directory to left hand pane and assign these new infoobjects to suitable dimensions. Save and activate the infocube. Now go to change update rules for this infocube and do proper mapping of these infoobjects.
Save & activate the update rules.
RSA1-> Transport connection-> select cube, update rules and related objects and create transport request.
After testing is done, give the transport request number to your Basis person and he will do the transports for you.

Pradip

How to add new infoobject to existing cube or dso?

Hi all,
Can we add new infoobject to exixting cube in BW 3.5 ver? if yes how can we add? Please provide me steps.
Thank you.
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
If you want to add new info object to the IC or DSO which is already holding data - then you need to make a copy of that particular DSO/IC and load the data into dummy.
Now delete the data from the IC/DSO to which you want to add the new info object. once the data is deleted it will allow you to add new info object to you IC/DSO.
save it and activate the IC/DSO
load the data from Dummy DSO and from new run on wards the newly updated info object will also get updated(historical data will not be updated if its newly added to DS as well).
If you want the historical data for the newly added field then you need to drop the compelte data and need to extract from source.
Note: You can't include the new info objects are change the existing info objects if there is data exist in the IC/DSO

Adding new field to Remote Cube

Hello,
We have an existing remote cube that we are trying to add a new field to in 7.0. I've already added the field to the datasource, unhidden it, and tested it in RSA3. Now i'm trying to bring it into BW and add it to the remote cube. I right clicked on the source system under the data target and chose Replicate Metadata however the new field does not show up anywhere. What am i doing wrong? Does a remote cube work differently? How do i get my new field over from R3?
Regards,
TMS

That's the problem. The R3 field does not show up in the datasource in BW so it can be moved over to the transfer structure. As you know when you replicate metadata, the new datasource fields appear and can be mapped into the transfer structure. That is not the case for this remote cube. The new field is not there.

Addition of fields in ODS/Cube till Datasource

Hi All
Assuming, I hv a Datasource/copa Datasource replicated and connected till Cube/ODS with data in it,,and Now I am in a need to add extra fields in this pipeline, So plz guide me, on to add these extra fields starting from Datasources,Infosources,Info objects, Transformations(BI 7.0),TransferRules/Update Rules(BW 3.5) if any,,,and then finally Data targets.(ODS & CUBE)??
THANKS

Please search in SDN u will get lot of threads which are already discussed about the same....

Remodeling is a new concept introduced in BI 2004s to manage changes to the structure effectively in an infoprovider, where the data is loaded and running. As of now we can make changes to the Infocube only. The same would be extended to the DSO and InfoObject in the future releases.
Before you proceed to experience the remodeling process, letu2019s bear in mind few of the golden rules given by SAP.
--> As a precaution, make a back-up of your data before you start remodeling.
Before you start remodeling, make sure:
--> You have stopped any process chains that run periodically and affect the corresponding InfoProvider.
--> Do not restart these process chains until remodeling is finished. There is enough available table space on the database.
--> After remodeling, check which BI objects that are connected to the InfoProvider (transformation rules, Multiproviders, queries and so on) have been deactivated. You have to reactivate these objects manually.
You can go for remodelling. If you still have doubt, try the same in your Sandbox and repeat the process in Production as you are saying you have time of 1week.

Error in update rules when trying to add a field

Hi Gurus,
I would appreciate if u could help me out.
I am trying to add the field Cumulative order quantity in sales unit ( 0CML_OR_QTY) in the update rule of 2LIS_11_VAITM. The field already exists in transfer rule and communication structure. When i am trying to add the field its giving and error message :No routine has been created for InfoObject BP:Business Partner Group (from Hierarchy) (data ield: Cumulative order quantity in sales units).
I have tried to make the BP field as initial value. But still the same error persisted.
Kindly let me know as to how to proceed.
Thanks & Regards,
Kapil

Hi,
Are you creating update rules for a ODS or a cube. If it is an ODS please make sure that none of your Key Fields are referring to the routine.
Now first please add this 0CML_OR_QTY to your data target and activate it. Once you do that you will see that it will automatically come in the update rules and will be not assigned. Now once this is done you can assign the required value

Custom Fields and OLAP Cubes - PS2007

Hi!
I can include a custom field directly to olap cube per database?
I need have these fields (without lookup table) in olap cube "Portfolio_Analyzer"
Tks.

Hi Alex,
In the OLAP section of the server settings, you can add custom field by types (projects, tasks, resources or assignments). Note that free text fields CANNOT be added to OLAP cubes (refer to the links I give you at the end of my reply). You just have to select
the CF and to add it to the right part:
Note that you have to differenciate measure and dimension:
Cube Dimensions Specify the custom fields you want to add to the OLAP database as dimensions. The selected custom fields will be added to both timephased and non-timephased cubes, when applicable.
Cube Measures Specify the custom fields you want to add to the cube as measures. The selected custom fields will be added to the related Non-Timephased cube.
Finally you can add MDX expression (new measures created with formulas based on existing fields) to any of the 14 cubes.
Please find some useful links below (some are for PS2010, but still applicable):
