Add field to a large DSO (BI 7.0/Oracle)

I need to add a field to a DSO (ODS) that has 450 million rows. I estimate the transport will take 14 hours. Does anyone know any tricks to make this faster? We have BI 7.0 running on an Oracle database. (Dropping data from the DSO is not really an option.)

Oh my God!! I am really amazed to hear that transports carry data..
Hey Kurt, transports are meant to transport only the objects and not the data..
So you can go ahead and transport the data..
The only thing you need to worry about is how you are going to populate data for the new added field.
Since there are 450 M records, check out from which date you need the historical data to be loaded for that DSO. Normally you will be required to reload the data for the past 1 or 2 years.
Also you can give a thought about Remodeling, wherein you can populate the data to the new field added without the need to reload for all the fields.

How to add fields to already loaded cube or dso and how to fill records in

how to add fields to already loaded cube or dso and how to fill it.can any one tell me the critical issues in data loading process..?

This is sensitive task with regards to large volumes of data in infoproviders.
The issue is to reload of data in case of adjusted structures of infoproviders.
Indeed there are some tricks. See following:

Add fields to Existing DSO and DS in R/3

Hi Friends,
I have got to change my LO datasource which is running on production, 2lis_va_vatim, i need to add 2 fields to the exisitng DS from Comm Stru, so could anyone point me inthe right direction, Hoow to Add the fields with out disturbing the production,
and the same way i need to cgane my DSO aswell for new fields, please tell me how to meet this.
Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi Kiran,
Before applying your changes in Production do the below steps:
1)run V3 job as immediate, which picks data to delta queue and delete the acive V3 job.
2)run the IP which loads data to BW(Delta IP).
3)Apply your changes to the 2lis_va_vatim and DSO.
i)Do the changes(adding your fields to 2lis_va_vatim and DSO)in DEV and active the 2lis_va_vatim and DSO.(insert this in transports).
ii)first apply the R3 transport and then BW side.
4)from now on wards your 2 fileds will get populated in BW side.
5)Maintain the V3 job for 2lis_va_vatim in R3.
If you need any clarification how to add fields to 2lis_va_vatim and create transport req pelase check the below article.

Add fields in transformations in BI 7 (best practice)?

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding transformation of data in BI 7.0.
Task:
Add new fields in a second level DSO, based on some manipulation of first level DSO data. In 3.5 we would have used a start routine to manipulate and append the new fields to the structure.
Possible solutions:
1) Add the new fields to first level DSO as well (empty)
- Pro: Simple, easy to understand
- Con: Disc space consuming, performance degrading when writing to first level DSO
2) Use routines in the field mapping
- Pro: Simple
- Con: Hard to performance optimize (we could of course fill an internal table in the start routine and then read from this to get some performance optimization, but the solution would be more complex).
3) Update the fields in the End routine
- Pro: Simple, easy to understand, can be performance optimized
- Con: We need to ensure that the data we need also exists (i.e. if we have one field in DSO 1 that we only use to calculate a field in DSO 2, this would also have to be mapped to DSO 2 in order to exist in the routine).
Does anybody know what is best practice is? Or do you have any experience regarding what you see as the best solution?
Thank you in advance,
Mikael

Hi Mikael.
I like the 3rd option and have used this many many times. In answer to your question:-
Update the fields in the End routine
- Pro: Simple, easy to understand, can be performance optimized - Yes have read and tested this that it works faster. A OSS consulting note is out there indicating the speed of the end routine.
- Con: We need to ensure that the data we need also exists (i.e. if we have one field in DSO 1 that we only use to calculate a field in DSO 2, this would also have to be mapped to DSO 2 in order to exist in the routine). - Yes but by using the result package, the manipulation can be done easily.
Hope it helps.

How to add an infoobject in a DSO ,on which Infoset is built

Hi,
How to add an infoobject to a DSO,on which an infoset is build.
In general common infoobjects can be for reporting purpose right?
Do I need to add the new infoobject in all the DSOs.My infoset consists of 6 DSOs.
If my concept is wrong.what is the correct method of extracting infoobjects from DSOs to Infoset.
Regards
Lucky

Hi,
You need to add these two fields in the DSO only. Make sure that you are mapping these two fields in the transformation. After that, drop the data and reload the DSO. Then make changes to the infoset.
By Component, what I mean:
I'll take your example only...
Say, for Material_Group, this data is not coming to DSo data Source. In this case, even if you will add this object to your DSO, you wont be able to map this in the transformation as R3 filed is not available. Ultimately, you wont be able to load data for this. So, its worthless.
But, you have a master data called 0Material. and Material_Group is an attribute of this 0Material.In this case, you will add 0Material to the infoset directly, as a component of infoset(from the tab infoobject), and you will select Material group. In this way, we generally aceess the master data attributes.
Revert for more clarification.
Thanks...

How to add fields in a z table

hi experts !

akanksha

Hi,
You have two options to enter data type while creating new field in table.
1. User standard data types i.e. mandt, kunnr etc..to use it u need to press "Predefined type" button present on top of table fields.
2. User custom data elements...this data elements you creates when you want to have data field specified to your required length.

Fields in infocube and DSO?

Hi Experts,
                 I need some information regarding maximum number of fields in infocube and DSO?
     According to my knowledge, in Infocube - characteristics --248
                                                                         Keyfigures--233
                                                In DSO - key fields - 16
                                                              Data fields -749
             I thought dat DSO has 3 tables. maximum number of columns in a table is 255. So 255 * 3( 3tables in DSO) is 755.
                                             755(total fields)-16(key fields)= 749(data fields).
Is it correct?can anyone clarify my doubt pls?
Thanks in Advance
Jani Sk.

Hi,
       In cube , table consists of 255 columns, in which 6 are internally used by SAP,16 for dimensions and the remaining 233 are for Key figures. Each dimension key connected to 248 master data tables at max through dimension and SID tables.So, We can analyse the data at 16*248 dimensions.
ODS/DSO is a two dimensional flat structure.It consists of total 1024 columns, out of which 16 are used for Key fields and remaining 1000 are for data fields.

Add fields in KOB2 & KSB2 report in selection screen as well as output

Dear All,
I have an issue in which i have to add fields in KOB2 & KSB2 report.
i need to add below fields to KSB2 report.
1) Internal order
2) Vendor
3) Purchasing group
I also need to add profit centre in selection screen for KSB2
Similarly for KOB2 i need to add below fields
1) Cost centre
2) Vendor
3) Purchasing group
I also need to add cost centre as input for KOB2 report.
I have gone through note 325546 "CO line item reports: Creating a user-defined field" which can be helpful.
However i am not sure as to how do i add fields in input screen as required.
Other alternative is to create a Z report however when i try and copy the report both KOB2 & KSB2 call same report "RKAEP000".
I am not able to get as to how do i differentiate the call of different screens when ZKOB2 is called or when ZKSB2 is called.
I could identify " c_item_group" field having different values however i couldnot get a proper logic as to how correct screen can be called based on input
Please suggest .
Thanks,
Ronak

Hi Raymond,
The note 747588 is good as soon as you are adding fields from the same table only.
When I have added additional table into KAEP_SCOVP selection view below COVP (just because the extra fields I need are not in COVP) they will show up in KOB1 as selection criteria, but not getting saved.
Any idea if any ABAP should be regenerated or what extra steps are required when adding more tables into Selection View?
Thank you!

Thanks in Advance

Yes I have tried, I have place a break point in that perform but it does not stop. I think that is not the correct place to added and populate fields. That routine is for populate selection screen ranges single and multiple values and parameters only.

Can you add fields that are manually maintained.

I'd like to be able to add fields to my MAP Toolkit's inventory. For example, adding Asset and Warranty fields, to keep track of this information. I'd be maintaining the data manually, which is fine since it doesn't change very often. Is there a way to extend
the toolkit to include these types of fields?
So far the only solution I've been able to think of is to generate reports, convert the .XLS to .CSV, and then use PowerShell to merge the .CSV with a file containing the static information. This would be quite an undertaking as I'd need either different
scripts, of different logic paths, to deal with the multiple reports available from the toolkit.
Thanks
Jim Winner

The reports are generated using queries that are in stored procedures. I suppose it would be possible to modify the query so that extra columns would be created, but I don't know how you would get the data into MAP.

Urgent: Add field in generic data source

Hi,
Could anyone please help me out in resolving the issue to add field from different table in generic datasource.
How can I add it in R/3 data source when a function module was created in ABAP to generate fields from PLPO table?
Whatz the changes has to be done at BW side to map the added field?
<u>Requirement</u>
1) Need one more field in the extractor. Field name is PLAS-LOEKZ. Initially client wanted me to add PLPO-LOEKZ which I added, now he needs the same fields from both the table (PLAS and PLPO).
2)The name of the extractor/structure is ZBW_ROUTINGS_OPERATION
3)Now, we need to add this field (LOEKZ from PLAS) in the function module as well. FM name is: Z_BW_ROUTE_OPERATION_EXTRACTOR. This will be in a SELECT query. We need to add this field in the SELECT statement.
Testing will be done in following steps
1)     Go to Transaction RSA3.
2)     Enter the data source Z_BW_OPERATION_ATTR(not sure about the name though, but it should end with OPERATION_ATTR)
3)     Enter the following details:
EXTTY I
PLNNR 50000032
PLNTY N
4)     Now execute (F8) the transaction.
5)     Click on Display List
6)     In the output, we should be able to see these 2 columns(PLAS-LOEKZ) and (PLPO-LOEKZ)
Please send your valuable suggestions to resolve the issue ASAP as its damn urgent.

Hi,
Here is an overview of the solution -
Use T.Code SE11> ZBW_ROUTINGS_OPERATION. Add your new field (PLAS-LOEKZ) to this table, check, save, activate. Edit your function module, SE37> Z_BW_ROUTE_OPERATION_EXTRACTOR and add your code to look up the correct value of this field LOEKZ from the table PLAS, check, save, activate. (Note that SAP provides a sample function module you can use as a template and customize for your requirements. This sample function module is RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE.)
Your Generic DataSource Z_BW_OPERATION_ATTR is already created, you dont have to change any settings here. Just regenerate it in RSO2. Now test the extraction for the DataSource in RSA3.
Hope this helps
