Hi,
Remodeling
Remodeling is one of the good feature in BI.
This helps in remodeling your Infoprovider, even when its filled with data.
where as in BW 3.5 you need to remove data before remodeling.

How many primary keys can w have in cube, ods objects?

how many primary keys can w have in cube, ods objects?

Hi Naresh,
16 primary keys only possible(for cube: 16 dimensions, ODS - Keyfields)
For ODS:
-         You can create a maximum of 16 key fields (if you have more key fields, you can combine fields using a routine for a key field (concatenate).)
-         You can create a maximum of 749 fields
-         You can use 1962 bytes (minus 44 bytes for the change log)
-         You cannot include key figures as key fields
More info: [Creating ODS Objects|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/4a/e71f39488fee0ce10000000a114084/content.htm]
Hope it Helps

How to create a cube/ods/infoobjects etc..and also why to create the same

Dear Friends
how to create a cube/ods/infoobjects etc..and also why to create the same objects.
thanks & Regards
Ramana

Hi Friend,
Creating Infoobjects
1. Go to RSA1 -> Modelling tab.
2. Click on Infobjects.
3. Create a new Infoarea.
4. Now create Infoobject Catalog for Characterstics and Key Figures.
5. Now create Char Infoobject under Char Catalog and Key figure Infoobject under Key Figure catalog.
Creating Cubes:
1. Right click the info area and choose create info cube.
2. Select the type of cube you wish to create and comnfirm your selections.
3. The next screen is where you actually define the cube.
4. Now you will notice the difference.
5. Place your cursur on key fig and right click and chose infio object direct input; chose your key fig for the cube.
6. Similarly for the dimension; right click the dimension and chose inbfo object direct input, chose your chars and out them in dimension.
7. Activate the cube.
Creating a ODS is also the same.(in step 1 choose create ODS)
Creating Multicube/Multiprovider
1. Right click the info area - chose create multi provider.
2. select the cubes , DSOs, info objects that you need for the multi provider.
3. On the right side of the screen, you will see all the objects that you selected and open the key fig and dimension and drag the ones you need to define the multi provider.
4. Identify the chars and key figs.
5. Acvitate the mullti provider.
Why we create them ?
Infobjects : They are fields in R/3. As we require fields in R/3 tables we require infoobjects in BI.
ODS : This actually is like a table in R/3.
Cube : This contain the Key figures.(e.g Sales quantity, Amount etc)
Hope it helps.

I want to know Cube,Ods,Multiproviders,infopackage groups,process chains

Hi all,
1.how to make techinical specifications Cube,Ods,Multiproviders,infopackage groups,process chains.
2.how to decide the size of the cube.
3.what is the default size& what is the max size & In the case of ods.
4.performance wise which is best multiprovider or cube.
5.why cube is best (performance wise) for cube over ods.
6.What is max no of chars & keyfigures can insert in ods.
7.Is sid concept exists for ods.if yes when they generate.
Thanks
cheta.

Hi
1.From functional specification requirements,find out the datasources by using business content check(offline) or using Metadata repository(online), u need to have TREX installed in ur system.Do the GAP Analysis and note down the objects which are not in business content and create Z objects(Datasources,ODS or Infobjects,Cubes). Draw the bubble diagram and derrive ER diagram from it and finally do logical information model(cube model) and decide what u need in data flow.
2.You have a quick sizer in market place which can help you to decide the sizing of BI project.Take care of trade-off's between line item dimensions and normal dimension which have large impact on ur sizing.
3.There is no such default sizing,depends on ur reporting requirements whether u need detailed reporting or snap shot reporting.
4.There is no trade-off's between multiprovider and Cube regarding performance.From performance point of view we have to consider other factors such as aggregates,Indexing,Partitioning etc..
6.The Max number of Keyfields are 16 and data fields are 749.
7.Yes SID's are created for ODS when you check the flag for BEX Reporting.
Thanks

Calculating size of CUBE & ODS

Hi Everybody,
   Could any one suggest me, how can we calculate exact size of the cube & ODS?
Thanks and Regards,
Ramesh

DB02 can provide some history on a table or tablespace about space consumption, but not row count, e.g.
For a specific table like this -
Date............Size (Kbyte)
10/01/2005 ........1,193,984
09/01/2005 ........1,193,984
08/01/2005 ........1,128,448
07/01/2005 ........1,020,928
06/01/2005 ..........988,160
05/01/2005 ..........955,392
04/01/2005 ..........914,432
03/01/2005 ..........881,664
02/01/2005 ..........840,704
01/01/2005 ..........807,936
12/01/2004 ..........635,904
11/01/2004 ..........521,216
But you don't really want to have to collect this for all the tables involved on a monthly basis.
SAP_INFOCUBE DESIGNS can provide row counts
0BWTC_C03 /BI0/D0BWTC_C031    rows: 6,005 ratio: 1 %
0BWTC_C03 /BI0/D0BWTC_C03P    rows:     83 ratio: 0 %
0BWTC_C03 /BI0/D0BWTC_C03T    rows:    880 ratio: 0 %
0BWTC_C03 /BI0/E0BWTC_C03     rows:616,772 ratio: 84 %
0BWTC_C03 /BI0/F0BWTC_C03     rows:116,037 ratio: 16 %
RSRV test - Database information about InfoProvider, can provide this info about a InfoProvider -
ZPU_C51 tables
ZPU_C51 is a BasisInfoCube
Cube ZPU_C51 has 9 dimensions; 0 dimensions are line item dimensions
Table /BIC/DZPU_C511 has 3962 entries. Size corresponds to 3% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/DZPU_C512 has 2243 entries. Size corresponds to 2% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/DZPU_C513 has 4847 entries. Size corresponds to 3% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/DZPU_C514 has 5843 entries. Size corresponds to 4% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/DZPU_C515 has 44 entries. Size corresponds to 0% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/DZPU_C516 has 148 entries. Size corresponds to 0% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/DZPU_C51P has 174 entries. Size corresponds to 0% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/DZPU_C51T has 74 entries. Size corresponds to 0% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/DZPU_C51U has 5 entries. Size corresponds to 0% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/EZPU_C51 has 0 entries. Size corresponds to 0% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/FZPU_C51 has 142233 entries. Size corresponds to 100% of the InfoCube
Keep in mind the row counts displayed by SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS and RSRV are based on the DB statistics and are only as current as the last time statistics have been collected on the tables.
SE16 on the other hand, actually goes out and runs a query on the table to provide a true current row count.
From a storage mgmt standpoint, I doubt your DBA is really that concerned about the number of rows you added and really just wants to know about disk storage consumption trends. Mgmt on the other hand may very well be interested in row counts as it is something they can relate to and can indicate what's going on in the organization.
I am not aware of any BW functionality that provides current InfoProvider row count histories/trends other than to run some of the above tools monthly or write your own pgm to do so.
There are various tables that track load information and could provide counts of records added. You could probably create an Infoset and do some reporting that way. The best way to get counts of records loaded is probably from the BW Tech Content cubes where you could create a query to provide monthly record load counts by InfoProvider, e.g.
Calendar day     Time      Records
9/1/2005     38,950     5,789,428

Overall Result     599,100     119,665,096
Keep in mind that records added to a cube for a month are not be the same as the records that end up in the E fact table table after compression.
So I think you really need to define what it is you are looking for, statistical info for mgmt and/or info for the DBA for storage estimates.
For stoage planning purposes, your DBA should be able to determine space use and trends, that's a basic function of their job. Your role is to keep them informed of changes they can't determine from the DB, e.g.
- transaction volume expected to double for an InfoProvider
- you are going to create several aggregates
- creation of new InfoProviders
- you are deleting large amoutns of data
BW disk storage grows - I don't think I have ever seen a Data Warehouse that has reached a point where it rolls off as much data as it loads. A new BW can easily have storage requirements increasing by multiples year over year the first few years. It can waste a lot of folks time trying to get to fussy about tracking individual table changes.
Haven't used the Quicksizer to off an opinion. Probably an acceptable tool for estimating, just like any of the row count methods others have mentioned.

Edit CUBE & ODS

Hi,
My requirment is to edit CUBE & ODS to include two more extra char..
I have done it in development and it is working fine..i made the required changes to all relevant objects (Update rules,Transfer rule,structure,data source...etc)
But the data targets in production contains nearly 1000000000 records,I don't want the old data for the newly included chars .
But can i transport the modified cude in development to production so that i will overwrite the structure of the cube with data in production
If not how can i resolve this issue
Thanks

Hi Sorry i was confused
I made changes to info cube and ods as bhanu said cube won't accpect new delta untill initilisation is done on cube
so ODS TO CUBE data load
once the changes have been implemented in production
Delete all data in cube and intilise the load from ods to cube and later it will accpect deltas
cube to cube
how???
correct me if i was wrong
Thanks for help

Adding new characteristics to cube with data

Hi Gurus,
i need to add some characteristics to a cube already in production, this cube is customized version of material stocks/movements cube (0ic_c03).
i am looking for a way to add the new characteristics without having to do reinitialisation (opening stock,...), i am thinking about a loopback process but how do i manage to get the new characteristics populated for the historical data?
Thank you.

Hi,
If you want to load historial data, you must take ECC down time and re-intialization is required.Becasue you are adding new object in Cube and for that you need to change the Update rules, then need to load historical data, so without down time and reinitialization it is not possible.
Check like below.
You have data in PSA, so try to delete data from Cube and then load from PSA. Because you may write code in Update rules on;y I think. So in that case, it may work.
Thanks

How to find out which cube/ods has the code

hi,
I want to find out which cube/ods has the start routine/update rules written in it. Is there a table or Tcode to find out the code instead of opening each cube/ods to find out whether there is code in it or not.
Thanks,
Sam

hi Sam,
take a look
/message/3483792#3483792 [original link is broken]
try RSTRAN, field STARTROUTINE
related tables
RSAROUT
RSAABAP
RSAABAPINV
RSAROUTT
Technical name of start routine
Re: How to get info about a GP* program?
Re: Search for start, update rule, etc. that uses infoobject
if couldnt find out, you can use ST05 'sql trace', open 2 session, one for create start routine, and one for ST05, activate with option 'sql trace', then create start routine and 'deactivate trace' and 'display trace', and check out the tables list
hope this helps.

Add new infoobject to LARGE ODS

I am adding new infoobject to existing ODS. This ODS has over 100million records. It takes forever to add the infoobject.
I think the issue is SAP does not allow nulls so actually drops all the data and reloads with the new field populated with spaces.
In our environment the problem is noramally not an issue in DEV since there is limited data but when transporting through the landscape the transport takes forever since in other environments we have lots of data.
I proved it is not just a transport issue by doing it directly in a system with over 100million records - still took forever and no transport involved.
Anyone else had a similar problem with large ODS's and any workarounds?
Thanks.

SE14 will do the same...
it is the RDBMS which does that internally; I did once this with a huge table in Oracle with and without logging the operation; the perf is way much better.... on the other hand it's bit risky therefore we usually plan this accordingly (week-end) and just wait until this is finished....
another option is to extract the whole ODS into PSA; delete it remove secondary indexes, add the IObj and then reload the ODS from PSA and rebuild indexes; this is actually the most secure way, again you'll need to be patient...
Finally you could perhaps logically partition your ODS in order to avoid having such monster in your DB although 100 mio is still OK; it really becomes a problem when above 500 mio records...

Searching for costcenter "7890" in all cubes/ods

hi gurus
i am looking for a costcenter "7890" in all the cubes/ods. now the simple way is to manage the cube and look into its contents but that is taking very long and i have 100's of cubes, so is there some way i can find where this masterdata is being used. now i know in sid table this particular costcenter has a sid id. is there a table where i can see what infoproviders this sid id is linked with.i will appreciate any suggestions.
thanks

i tried this but it says no such transaction exists may be you miss spelled it. and will it give me the association of each sid id in master data to cubes using that sid id of master data. /BI0/SCOSTCENTER this is the table in which you can see all the sid id's for each cost center. now i want to look at what cube is associated with one of these costcenters. if you have any other suggestions that give me the same solution i will appreciate them.
thanks

I have included an new infobject in the ods and then in the infoset?

hi all,
i have included a new infobject in the ods. And then included in the infoset. But i unchecked it and got it transport to quality and production.
But my requirment now is i need to check the infobject in the infoset. But when i check the infoobject in the infoset i am getting an message stating:
"YOU CAN INCLUDE OBJECTS OF THIS TYPE IN A TRANSPORTABLE WORKBENCH REQUEST WITH TARGET /SAP/ ONLY"
thanks

Hello Experts,
Hope you are all are doing Good!.
I am looking for a way to check the selection conditions of each load in cube & ods through an ABAP program.

Before designing cube/ODS in BW how can weknow that the datasource is delta

HI All
Before designing cube/ODS in BW how can we know that the datasource in source R/3 is delta enable or not? I mean what type of datasource is this?
And aslo what do we mean by Standard Extractors? will this mean like for this there wont be any datasource or table? Iam nill in this part? can anyone explain me regarding this
Regards
Balji

Hi Balaji,
To find whether a datasource is delta enabled or not goto R/3 -> se11/se16 -> roosource table -> your datasource -> check the "DELTA" field value. If it is blank then no delta is supported.
All extractors would have a datasource and extract structure associated with it. It does not matter whether it is business content or custom.
