Adding new info object to a cube.

Hi Friends,
This is a BI SYSTEM, we have a cube with existing data in it. Now we need to add a new info object to the dimension of the cube.
Now we can add the info object to the cube in 2 ways.
1. remodeling the cube
2. select the cube in RSA1 , RIGHT CLICK, IN CHANGE MODE add the info object to the dimension of the cube.
now my question is why we have the concept of remodeling, when we were able to add the info objects to the dimensions of the cube in the change mode.
kindly explain me in detail.
thanks.
Please search the forum

Hi Soumya,
If you go by option 2 of adding Infoobject in Cube by going in change mode and adding the respective Infoobject in Dimension,
Then you have to delete Data first from the Infocube in order to add infoobject by this option. Otherwise it won't allow you to add infoobject.
But by remodelling option you can add the infoobject in dimension without deleting any data from Cube. But this option has its own limitations too.
Please refer the following link for Remodelling Concept:-

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

Adding new authorization objects to transactions

Hi experts,
i would like to add new authorization objects to specific transactions, for example the object K_CCA for checking the cost element in the transaction KB15N.
What do we have to maintain, except the transaction code with (SU22). What do we have to do with the program behind the transaction?
Is it "just" adding two line of code into the auth object check in the program, similar or like described for client specific ABAP-programs???
Any experiences on that?
Regards
Florian

Hi,
First add the objects in DSO then in Info Cube.
Map the same with transformation.
Move the objects to production then DSO.
Load the DSO first. then delete the data from cube in production.
Now move the modified cube and transformation to production.
Now load the Cube from DSO.
No need to change any thing in existing query.
I hope this will help.
Thanks,

Adding New View Objects/Link on "Preview and Print" - Order Acknowledgement

Hi,
Can we add New View Objects/View Links for the existing "Preview and Print" Order Acknowledgement.
I want to add for the 2 new functionalities i.e., for Charges (from OE_PRICE_ADJUSTMENTS_V ) and the Line Level Notes, which is currently not supported by Oracle.
Can anyone help me on acheving this functionality?
Looking forward for your response.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Muru

You can do that. You should first create the new business objects(AM, VO, VL) in jdeveloper, create your new regions in jdeveloper, associate the AM to the top level region(stackLayout) you create. Use personalization and add a stack layout in the Preview and Print page, set the extends property to point to the new region which you had created. Donot forget to deploy all the files in middle tier before doing the personalization.
The AM which you had added to the stackLayout will automatically be nested with the root AM of the page during runtime.

How to find the corresponding field in r/3 to a info object in a cube?

Hi,
In a cube I have an info object WKNO and data is loaded from r/3 through a process chain to that cube.
now i need to check from which field and table in r/3 the data is coming to the info object?

Hi
You can take the datasource name for the Cube and the infoobject
Then pass this to table RSOFIELDMAP , to get the corresponding R/3 fieldname
And for R/3 table u need to check datasources definition in BI content library
May b if ur datasource is there in below the link u can follow the tables to get the exact field source

Adding new Data Object while migrating from MI 2.5 to NM7.1

Dear All,
      We have a custom MI 2.5 application which we need to migrate to 7.1. While migration, we want to add a newly created data object also in migrated application. But when I try to import MBO model, it is not letting me import new data object. The import finishes successfully. But changes in merepmeta.xml are not done. It creates a file with back up of existing merepmeta.xml i.e. merepmeta.xml.bak and create new merepmeta.xml but it is blank. Am I missing something???
       When I import MBO only with existing data objects (syncbos), it is allowing me perfectly. It is changing the merepmeta.xml accordingly as well without creating backup.
Thanks in advance,
Saptak Kulkarni.

Dear Arjun,
     To answer your questions, previously all the SyncBOs were downloaded independently taking username as the import parameter in getList. (Default values). Yes we can provide the same with 7.1 but we wanted to have some sorts of associations between all SyncBOs.
     So first of all, we changed all the BAPI wrappers of old SyncBOs to download all the data independent of user. Now we created new Data Object to only download user specific data. We associated all other Data Objects on this DO. Created a rule for this data object to only download the sync user instance. We were expecting that whenever a user syncs, a single instance of new user data object will get downloaded and subsequently all other data objects having relationship on user will get downloaded. I hope this is not much confusing.
      Now while we import the MBO model, if we don't import new user data object, then also other data object instance get downloaded and fortunately properly filtered. We don't receive any kind of error over here.
      The new data object is not used anywhere in the application. The associations are in new data object and not in the older one. New data object is the leading one wherein others follow.
      Not a single instance is getting dropped for other Data Objects.
      The xml is blank only when we try to import the new Data Object and correctly it gives an error as expected when I try to deploy the application.
Thanks in advance,
Saptak.

JUST ADDED NEW INFO TO THREAD: Anyone know why publishing my demo hangs here: CustomTransiton_1.swf?

NEW INFO:
I've been testing to see which slides are bad, by publishing with certain slides hidden, to isolate the problem. It turns out there are at least two bad slides - but only one has full motion recording on it. Guess that really blows my theory . Any thoughts??
Hi,
I've been working on a demo and cannot publish it. In the publishing progress bar, it hangs when it says this: "Writing SWF File Tags to Stream" (this slide happens to have a full motion recording on it btw, but I don't know if that's significant info. because other slides do too, and those function just fine).
When our desktop support team looked at some event log, it looked to them like it kept hanging on a file called "CustomTransition_1.swf". What in the world would that be? I thought I had a good theory regarding full motion recording being a problem (other sims. without this publish just fine), but then again- one of the slides with full motion really isn't problematic!
Anyone have some good experience or advice with this?
Thanks,
Dee

I have absolutely no idea what that is, but recently I was encountering a ton of publishing problems and they all seemed to go away when I downloaded this patch. Don't know if it will help you, but it's worth a shot...

Problem adding new info to an old PDF File

I have an old book I wrote and saved in PDF years ago, like 15 years ago.
I tried to add some new info to the book so I can have it on my news blog
I have been able to get the old pdf to display, but when I try to add the book into my Word 2010 to put on my blog the final new file, it won't load the old file.
Any ideas on why new Word won't import an old pdf to merge into a new file?

It does it for other old books I've done, just not for this huge book, it may be it's too big over 100mb in file size since it's all scanned images of gov docs about UFOS.
So it may be a size limit to merge a new word doc with an old pdf file.

Had difficulty with synching music. Music was deleted when I changed/added new info. Had to start over. So...I checked procedure and it say if you change anything, hit the apple button. Which one? Never had to do this previous to the new operatin

I was having trouble with synching my iphone 5 since the new operating system was installed. But I was waiting for my 6+ and figured it would be solved with my dandy new phone. No such luck. I downloaded a great deal of music and then added to it and synched again. Music gone, except paid for stuff bought on the phone. So I added more and tried to load it again, and it did. But now, I was afraid to add anything, backup, and synch for any reason as it takes 12 hours + to load my music.
So, I went back to basics and looked up the procedure. It does say that if you make a change, " you should hit the apple button before you synch." Which one?
No info on what they mean. And clearly this is a change. I'm feeling stupid, but lately, Apple makes changes and expects you to intuitively figure them out. I usually do but was stumped here. It might be nice to get a heads up when changes occur.
Please help !
Oh and also, I can't seem to download ringtones I have created.

I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current. Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.

Adding New Dimension In An Existing Cube (Block)

Hi fellows,
Im not an expert so need you feedback.
I am supporting a cube that was built a decade ago using Essbase 6.5. It has 7 dimensions (3 dense, 4 sparse). With the new reporting requirement, I need to add a new dimension to be called "BaseTimePeriod" that seems like a Time dimension but will show the "Constant Dollar" amount calcuation for difference Scenarios.
Since the cube has been there for so long, and the expert that has pioneered that cube is no longer in the company. All of our reports uses API being called in MS Excel to retrieve data from the cube and format it the way the users wanted it to be. As well as 75% of our data are user input using the Essbase Excel Add-in, "lock/send" commands.
My problem now is that, since I need to introduce another dimension for the "Constant Dollar" calculation, is there any way that if I add a new dimension the existing process of uploading data by the users as well as retrieving data through Excel API will not be affected?
I tried to add new dimension in the R&D server that we have when I try to retrieve historical data from the cube in the Excel since there is "BaseTimePeriod" dimension before, the Excel report layout gets affected and inserts a new row placing "BaseTimePeriod" in that cell since this not yet there before. And when I try to upload data through Excel Add-in "lock/send" action, it did allow me unless I put a member from the "BaseTimePeriod" to complete the dimension member combination.
My questions now are:
1) How can I add a new dimension without impact from the historical data?
2) Is there any way to place a default value for the new dimension for the historical data so it would complete the dimension member combination, so whenever I retrieve and upload data there will be no problem?
Any insights related to this questions is highly appreciated. Thanks!

If you add the new dimension to a cube that already has data, you should get a prompt when you save the outline to associate the existing data with a member from the new dimension. You will then go into a dense restructure which could take a while, depending on the size of your database. Another option would be to export your data in column format and load it into a relational table in something like SQL or Access, you can then add the new dimension to the export in the relational tool, export it back out to a text file and use a load rule to reload it.
As far as the lock & send and existing reports, in most cases, adding a new dim will result in all of those needing to be updated. This is why we try not to add new dims to existing cubes, especially ones that have been around a while.
Another thing to consider is the impact of adding a new dim. I don't know the size of your existing database, but you are going to increase it by adding a new dim and things like consolidation time and retrievals can be impacted, so you need to test all of this.
You should evaluate why you need a new dim and determine if you can achieve the same result without adding a new dim. While a new dim might be the preference in a new cube design, when dealing with something that has been around a while you might want to be creative and somewhat more compromising if it is the lesser of two evils. If everyone is committed to a rebuild then go ahead and rebuild especially if it's been around a while, there are probably other things that can stand to be cleaned up as well, but if nobody wants to deal with that, then look to see if you can get their without adding a new dim, perhaps a new roll up in a existing dim or an attribute dim. A more thorough explanation of what the business case is would help to provide an alternate solution.

Deleting Info objects from the Cube

Hi All,
I am deleting 2 characteristics from the existing cube that already has queries . Would doing this make the existing queries or workbooks un-useable??. The characteristics are no more required for use in the existing queries.
Thank you

Yes. They will become unusable..
Please delete them from the queries, workbooks before really deleting from the cube..

Hari

Issue with Info Object Transport after changing Data Type

Hi Experts,
We have a DSO which is running past 5 years. And recently(3 days back) we added new fields into that DSO. Delta loaded for last three days and new info object (Say XXX) data populated into DSO.
Now the problem is, We identified that, info object data type is not correct. We used data type NUMC instead of CHAR.So Character information is missing for that field.
Example:
Data from ECC: ABC123
Data Loaded to DSO: 123 (Missed character ABC)
So we deleted data from DSO and changed the info object data type in Development system.
And also I have deleted only last three days delta records from DSO and transported my info object to Production. But its giving error as: Info object contains data in DSO".
But that info object field is empty in DSO. I have already deleted last three days delta.
Do I need to Delete all 5 years data from DSO to change the data type of recently added new info object ?
Please give me your solutions and ideas to solve this issue.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Santhosh

Hi Raman,
Thank you for your answer.
When I changed the data type of info object in Dev, I deleted the content of DSO. And same thing transported to QA as well. Before importing changed info object, I just deleted the content of DSO from QA. So transport done successfully QA.
But in Production we have a history of past 5 years. So I cant delete all contents of DSO.
So just deleted only the delta request's which contains data for that info object(3 days back, we moved that info object(NUMC data type) to production,So last 3 days delta only loaded for that info object). And tried to transport it. But it was failed. I am sure we need to drop all data from DSO, if I am interested to go with same info object.
I have some comments on your first approach,
1. If we delete info objects from Dev DSO and transport to Production will give transport failure, Why because, my previous transports errors clearly saying that info object contains data in DSO . So it wont allow to remove that info object from DSO.
2.We are using same info object technical name in BO Data federator also. So if we change add new info objects again we need to make changes with BO as well. I am thinking this point as my last option if i cant find any other solution.
Thank you.
Best Regards.

Authorization for new info types added in PA61

Gurus ,
Our HR team have added new info types in transaction PA61 namely ,
Organizational assignment (0001) , Pesonal data (0002) , Address(0006) , Family(0021), education (0022), date specifications(0041) , communication(0105) , passport no (9001) , license(9003) , physical details(9008) ..
The problem once after adding it in the t-code (Without changing anything in the authorization object) the users will able to access some of the info types . HOw this could be possible ?
They want the users only to see the details in pa61 . we should not allow user to copy/edit/delete in pa61 .
but my problems are ,
1.I have added all the above info types with authorization level 'R' , but still when they click edit it is working
2.when users try to see the educational details through infotype 'eduction' it's showing the error as 'NO authorization to maintain education xx exists ' .but i have added the user name in transaction OOSB to profile ALL
If i give su53 it's shoeing the object S_WFAR_OBJ , but i am not sure how is this object useful ...
Gurus help me in solving

FYI: I deleted your duplicate post.
SU53 (the last failed auth check only) in HR (complex checks) is not very usefull.
Check which authority you have in P_PERNR?
