Thanks Ashok,
U mean:
1) In Dev: I delete data from Cube. Add the Char, Make chages for IS and then?
(I need to transport first or i need copy the cube first? in
production)
2) For Historical Data: U mean
Make a copy of the cube and then chages and full load to new cube or old cube? New cube ...Right
If it is correct, we delete request from old cube... then we can do full load.
Please let me know. thanks for your hlep.
Thank,
KN
If you want historical data, make a copy of the cube and do the full load. When you see everything is alright, all data is in your new cube, do the changes in existing(old) cube and load data from new one to existing one. You should be alright.

How can achieve this (Condition on CHARS at cube or report level)

HI,
My report requirement is to display only values where employee Home Dept Not Equal To Worked Department.
Home Department (CHAR-20) and
Worked Dept (CHAR-20)
For that I created a Info Object in Cube (ZINDICATOR).While data load i want to populate this field with X (Flag) if Home Dept = Worked Dept and Y (Flag) if Home Dept <> Worked Dept.
So that I can use ZINDICATOR in Query Filter to restrict accordingly..
When I tried to write an if condition in update/Transfer rules it is giving me error...
<b>Formula element is not allowed here</b>
How can I achieve my desired results......?

OK sorry,
Are you doing this in an individual update rule or in a start routine?
I suggest start routine. Steps:
1. Add your derived characteristic into the communication structure of the transfer rules (do not have any update in the transfer rules for it)
2. In the update rules have a direct mapping for the characteristic.
3. Create a start routine in the update rule. code should be something like
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f_dp> TYPE data_package_structure.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <f_dp> .
IF <f_dp>-home_dpt eq <f_dp>-work_dpt.
<f_dp>-/bic/zindicator = 'X'.
ELSE.
<f_dp>-/bic/zindicator = 'Y'.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
You will need to replace the work_dpt and home_dpt etc. bits with the names of your characteristics.

How to add char to time diemension

In BW3.5 this is indeed not possible.
But in NW-BI7 is it also not included?
We have a special schedule in which the production day starts at 06:00:00 hrs and in which we process huge amounts of metering data.
Is there a strategy that we can get rid of a separate/extra Time dimension+characteristics and save physical tables accordingly for best performance??
Can we adapt CalDay??
best regards,

Chara to cube or ods

Hi,
Is it possible to trasnfer data from chara bearing master data to cube or ods...if possible how? What happens when we create export data source for chara????

It will prefix the 8 before ur technical name.
You can load it to ODS not to cube. To load into ODS take the main characteristic in KEy fields in the ODS, and the attributes in the data fields. Please let us know if u have any compounding attributes in ur master data object.

Addding field to Cube

Hi Experts,
I am getting error while activating cube after transfering field i.e province from template to structure.

Hi,
I suppose your on a Bi 70 system. Here the checking of navigational attributes is more strict.
In your case YBW_00058 is compounded to 0COUNTRY (key field for YBW_00058). Make sure that this field is also nav-attribute in your cube.

Add infobject to cube-- reload?

Hello BW Experts,
I have to add 0material to the cube1. cube1 is already existing in production with lots of data.
-- can i add the 0material without deleting the data
-- after adding 0material do i need to reload the data, if i have to only need the 0material info going forward?
Please let me know the usual approach of adding the infobject to the cube1.
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
BWer

Might be worth taking a look at this paper by Dinesh Lalchand - speaks to your question and broader applications as well

How to add chars to a String

Hi,
I want to construct a string by adding characters to it.
How can I do this ?

Never mind, yes it will work (except that you have to
initialize the string first, like s = "something";)
before using +=. Sorry.actually, you don't. s += "foo" is really shorthand for s = s + "foo".
since the reference s is equal to null, the value null is converted to the String "null".
therefore, String s = null;
s += "foo";has the same effect as
String s = "null" + "foo";so, strictly speaking, you don't have to initialize s to a non-null value, but if you don't, you're not going to get anything you'd like...
and, StringBuffer is definitely the way to go here; otherwise, each time you concatenate a character to your String, you're creating a new Character object and a new String object.

I would like to insert new cost center for the existing layout in BCS

Hi,
I would like to add cost center to existing layout.
Currently we are loading data into BCS using flat file .
In BCS we have current layout existed with below format.
Header
Controlling area
Fiscal year
Posting period
Data Rows
Company
Item
Profit Center
Functional area
Trading partner
Period Value LC
Period Value GC
Even we are getting flat file from R/3 as above format.
Now our Business required cost center in BCS as their requirment and need to be bring from R/3 to BCS.
In R/3 our ABAP people are working to bring the cost center from R/3 and made a flat file for us.
In BCS we need to load the file which has new cost center,which was comming as per the new requirment.
Please advise me how to add cost center in Data Rows of BCS.So that it can accomidate new cost center which is comming from R/3.
Please some advise me on this and answer would be appreated.

Prasad,
I knew how to add char to cube in BW.But i am not sure about BCS .
- What's the difference in assigning the infoobject (CostCenter) to the infocube, doesn't matter if it's the basic (ordinary) or the BCS totals cube?
I will follow as you said.
- Taking the BW310 or SEM240 is very useful.
Once it is done then what are the next steps need to do it.
- What's done? What's the question?
I am assigning points to you
- I do not need the points assigned for nobody knows what. Feel free to unassign them.

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

Can we add new cubes and ODS after creating the multiprovider?

Hi all,
i created a multiprovider on a cube and ODS. Now i needed one more charactersitic from other cube.then i did change multiprovider and then add that new cube and did the identification, and adjusted the query, when i ran the query it is showing chracteristic as # and not assigned. I even tried bringing in 0infoprovider object to see whether data is coming from third infoprovider, it is not showing up any data from third one. i tried logging out of bex and logging back in.....but still no use..............i am wondering now, once a multiprovider is created can new infoprovider be added to it ?
i am even able to see the new key figures and chracteristic in my query.but data is not getting populated...i also checked and found that the data is available in the infoproviders....
plz help me out..
points will be assigned for inputs

Hi Bhanu,
nice to see your answer, I saw a lot of helpful posts on SDN by you.
I did the RSRT with debug multiprovider, it said,
0FISCPER: General restriction for InfoProvider ZSD_C12 not possible
Access to ZSD_C12 was excluded
now i corrected it, it is populating the key figure now but not the chracteristic still.....the chracteristic is still getting value only from one of the info providers
importantly, when i bring infoprovider above the keyfigures space on query, it still only shows two info providers for each key figure and not the third one ,the key figure coming the third one is only shown in overall result. how can i solve this?
i tried rsr_gen_direct_all_queries as told by krian, but still cant get the data in the report. i did list cube on mulitiprovider and i see the data for that chracteristic there....
are there any other options in RSRT to find possible setting faults....
thanks in advance

Add characteristic to the custom partitioned cube

hi,
I have partitioned the custom cube and migrated to testing environment and now i need to add a characteristic to the custom cube . I could not add to the cube .Can i do that? If so, please let me know.
Thanks

try coping this Cube to another Cube(without data) & make the changes in the cube without any data.
If needed move the data from old to new.
Otherwise also it should allow you to add characteristic.

Error while adding an Info Object in an Info Cube

Hi Experts,
I am trying to add one InfoObject to my info cube but I get following error:
"InfoObject GSMBUHR is only allowed as an attribute (not in InfoCubes)"
The Data Type of the InfoObject is TIMS.
The Reference Char. for it is 0TIME
And in other Properties Attribute only is checked.
but its not maintained as an attribute of any InfoObject as I checked in where used list for this InfoObject.
Please let me know to add it in cube.
Regards
Shubh Karan

hi,
u will not be able to add an 'attribute only' info object as characteristic in the cube
it can only be added as an attribute in another master data characteristic. so if u still want to include this info object , u need to unchecck 'attribute only' flag.
hope it helps

Add an Infoobject in Mutiprovider for a query

Hi Folks,
I have to create a typical report on a multiprovider where I have to use a same characteristic twice. I cant use a selection as I have KF's involved in other selections. So, I have created a characteristic as a reference type to required char & added it to the multiprovider as infoprovider. But Iam unable to see the added char in a new query on the multiprovider. Any ideas ?
Thanks & regards,
Manoj.

Hi Bhanu/Srini,
I have created a characteristic as reference to orig. char. I only want a char bcos I need to restrict its values. I dont know whether this is possible for Nav. attr. I have added this to both cubes under Multiprovider (Is it OK to add to both cubes as I need to specify the relationship in Identification of Edit Multiprov. or how can this be acheived ??). I have also added this to Multiprov. So, now this char does not act as a seperate Infoprov. Iam not getting any data for the result of query & also Iam not able to run other queries existing on the multiprovider. Iam getting the below errors.
1) System error in program SAPLRRK0 and form RSRDR;SRRK0F30-01-
Message no. BRAIN299
2)Error 'Exception condition "NO_DESTINATION" raised.' in
RSDRC_CUBE_DATA_GET_RFC could not be caught
Now my questions are:
1) Can we add a reference char to cubes having data??
2) Can we add a single char to a dimension of any cube without disturbing the setup?
Please suggest acheive this feat.
Regards,
Manoj.

Changes in existing cube

Hi Gurus,
Hope you are all doing good. I have a cube been created and reports generated from it. Now i need to add chars and keyfigures to it.This is from SD. How to go about? Kindly give me step wise description. Points would be assigned for sure.
Regards,
Nishanth. S

1.- Transaction RSA1 -> infoproviders
2.- Look for your cube and double click on it.
3.- characteristic tab, look for CH you wanted to add, and add then to the infocube.
4.- Button dimensions on ch tab, you must add new ch to one dimension, you can use one already exist or create a new one.
5.- KF tab, look for KF you wanted to add and add to infocube.
6.- Activate cube.
