APD vs Open Hub

Hi,
For generating a flat file from a Infocube, which process is better among an APD and an Open Hub Destination in terms of both performance and handling large volume of data
Thanks
Rashmi.

OPen hub destination is anew feature in BI 7.o . i don't think it will affect any performance issues.
If get the requirement i will use open hub destination instaed of APD as Open hub is eaiset way with simple steps.
APD is more for analysis of two queries or sending data to external systems. we used APD for sending data to EDI clients
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Reddy

Please help me to know the tables which contain details of APD and Open hub destination

Hi experts,
I need to know the list of APDs that have been created in our system. So can you please let me know the table name (if there is any) which contains the name of the APD and as well as the status (active / inactive) of the APD.
Thanks ,
Shalini

Hi Shalini,
Go to RSANWB T-code and select any analysis process. Then press the "monitor" button. On the monitor screen, you can see the selection criteria in a table on the right. Now double-click on the table and a popup will come up where you can set the selection criteria. in particular, you can set the time frame and the analysis process selection.
Hope it 'll help you..........

How to save a open request with open hub?

Dear experts,
we want to save a query result in an open hub destination. So at first we want to store the data in an ods object (we use bw 3.5) which was filled by the apd. The we want to tranfer the delta to the open hub destination which is connected with our bpc ms system. How can we care for extracting only closed requests from the open hub? And is it possible to extract the data from an ods which was filled by an apd??
Thanks an regards,
Gerrit

Hi,
In APD we use direct update DSO. SO its better to load the data from this DSO to one standard DSO or a cube. Then you can create a delta DTP, which can fetch request based delta to open hub destination.
Hope it helps,
Pravender

Open Hub export to ASCII file

Is it possible to export infoprovider data through open hub to an ASCII formatted file? How would we do that in BI 7.0?

Hi,
You can use TCode RSANWB to goto APD and u can export data from any infoprovider to Flat File .
Check this link on APD:

Open hub service - Cube as source system

Dear gurus,
i am new to open hub concept.
i need to transfer values from my query to a custom table in R/3.
im using bi7.
Questions:
1) i guess pen hub is my solution. is it correct?
2) do i have to transfer values from my cube or can i send values from my query too?
3) i have created openhub service under modelling tab, i have selected target type as TAB. it says database table /BIC/OHZTABLO.
is it correct?
4) then i am trying to create Transformation from open hub ZTABLO to/ BIC/OHZTABLO. ?
in that case it shows that transformation target is DEST- ZTABLO? i mean open hub service is my destination? then what is the source?i am confused in that point.
5) Thanks all!

1) i guess pen hub is my solution. is it correct?
->If u want to transfer dat from yr query then APD (analysis Process designer) will be the best bet to go for. Create APD and schedule it in process chain
2) do i have to transfer values from my cube or can i send values from my query too?
->Using OH(open hub) you have to use Cube as a source,,,you cant use query then.
3) i have created openhub service under modelling tab, i have selected target type as TAB. it says database table /BIC/OHZTABLO.
->ya,correct,there are two ways to do that,,,either u send the cube data to a open hub table(as its happening in yr case) or send it to application server/flat file
is it correct?
--> yes
4) then i am trying to create Transformation from open hub ZTABLO to/ BIC/OHZTABLO. ?
in that case it shows that transformation target is DEST- ZTABLO? i mean open hub service is my destination? then what is the source?i am confused in that point.
---> yr source is InfoCube and target is Open hub table /BIC/OHZTABLO
5) Thanks all!
Than you.

Alternative for BW Open HUb Services.

Hi All,
We have recently implemented Open Hub Services solution for our clients, where data is being extracted from BW CUBEs to FLAT FILES. Now we came to know that we need separate License to use Open Hub Services. In the current context it's not possible to get the License immediately as it's more than the budget.
Can anybody throw some light, which all other way we can use to get the data extracted to Flat Files other than BW.
We are on BW 3.5

Kironmoy Banerjee
Edited by: Kironmoy Banerjee on Nov 13, 2009 11:47 AM

Hi Banerjee,
You can use Analysis Process Designer
In SAP BW, data from various databases from systems available in the company are collected, consolidated, managed and prepared for evaluation purposes. There is often further, valuable potential in this data.
It deals with completely new information that is displayed in the form of meaningful connectivity between data but that is too well hidden or complex to be discovered by simple observation or intuition.
The Analysis Process Designer (APD) makes it possible to find and identify these hidden or complex relationships between data in a simple way. Various data transformations are provided for this purpose, such as statistical and mathematical calculations, and data cleansing or structuring processes.
The analysis results are saved in BW data targets or in a CRM system. They are available for all decision and application processes and thus can be decisive (strategically, tactically, operatively).
Examples of analysis processes include the calculation of ABC classes, determination of frequency distribution or of scoring information.

Info spoke /Open Hub

Hi Friends
I need to extract few fields to a flat file(excel).that file needs to be up loaded to APO DP .
The issue i am facing is data belongs to 3 infocubes. 2 are transactional and one is basic. so i cant use open hub which supports only for 1 cube/ods at a time.
I created a Multi cube on top of the 3 cubes and tried to extract the data using RSCRM_BAPI by creating a report on the multiprovider.
But i am facing issues as
1) Multi provider has TYPE which is not supported.
2 ) one more is my report conatins the STRUCTURE elements. the out put in RSCRM_BAPI is not displaying the structure elements.
please help with some solution to this.
regards
praveen.

Hi Praveen,
If you are on BW 3.5 then You can use APD to write the data you want into a transactional ODS and then create an export datasource on that ODS and use in APO.
You can schedule this at whatever time you want.
However APD is not supported in process chains in 3.5 but it is supported in BI 7.0 I guess.
Bye

Open Hub Destination - SAP CRM

Hi,
We would like to transfer bulk data from SAP BI (Data Store Object) into SAP CRM. Performance of APD has been very poor. As an alternative, we are checking the feasibility of using InfoSpoke/Open Hub service to transfer data from data store object to ADS (analytical data store i.e. custom table in CRM).
Has any one tried this before?
Can we use remote database (i.e. not SAP BI) in open hub destination?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi ,
Yes I have used Info Spoke/Open Hub service to transfer data from my SAP BI to other Sap system.
We have a process chain which has start node and 3 parallel node extracting data from 3 different ODS.
All 3 nodes are connected to a AND node , after then there is a programmer (Unix script) which has does FTP, Abap program can also be used for this.
While doing FTP , give destination address CRM system.
I am sure this will work.

Error while assigning constant to infoobject in open hub transformation

While assigning constants(in rule details) to infoobject in a transformation in a open hub I am getting an error "The Object Name is not allowed to be empty"
Can anyone tell my why this is happening? What should I do now?

Hi,
In the transformation, have you connected that rule to any target field of your destination? If not, then do that and then try to create the routine.

Open Hub: How-to doc "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical File"

Hi all,
We are using open hub to download transaction files from infocubes to application server, and would like to have filename which is dynamic based period and year, i.e. period and year of the transaction data to be downloaded.
I understand we could use logical file for this purpose. However we are not sure how to have the period and year to be dynamically derived in filename.
I have read in sdn a number of posted messages on a similar topic and many have suggested a 'How-to' paper titled "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical Filename". However i could not seem to be able to get document from the link given.
Just wonder if anyone has the correct or latest link to the document, or would appreciate if you could share the document with all in sdn if you have a copy.
Many thanks and best regards,
Victoria

Hi,
After creating open hub press F1 in Application server file name text box from the help window there u Click on Maintain 'Client independent file names and file paths' then u will be taken to the Implementation guide screen > click on Cross client maintanance of file name > create a logical file path by clicking on new entiries > after creating logical file path now go to Logical file name definition there give your Logical file , name , physical file (ur file name followed by month or year what ever is applicable (press f1 for more info)) , data format (ASC) , application area (BW) and logical path (choose from F4 selection which u have created first), now goto Assignment of physical path to logical path > give syntax group >physical path is the path u gave at logical file name definition.
however we have created a logical path file name to identify the file by sys date but ur requirement seems to be of dynamic date of tranaction data...may u can achieve this by creating a variable. U can see the help from F1 that would be of much help to u. All the above steps i have explained will help u create a dynamic logical file.
hope this helps u to some extent.

UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION while executing Open Hub

Hi All,
I have created Open hub destination in BI 7.0 on one custom cube. I am trying to create file on application server using this open hub. I have also created logical filename etc..
When I ran the DTP for this open hub, I am getting following error:
Runtime Errors UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
Except. CX_RSB_WRITE_ERROR
This was running fine on DEV and QA system but giving this error in PRD.
Any clue about this error?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
it seems the logical path for logical filename is not correct. Could you please check it in t-code FILE?
Kind Regards,

Open Hub not extracting all data in CUBE

We created an FI-SL cube and use the OPEN HUB process to extract the current value of accounts. The problem is that not all the data is being extracted.
I have a couple of examples where some of the data in the CUBE is not being extracted by the OPEN HUB process. I have checked the filter and it is setup properly. I have manually validated the data in the CUBE.
It is very strange that the data is in the CUBE correctly, but just being extracted.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill Lomeli

Ashok,
This is the first time I have seen a comment about the field limitation.
+ A previous message from Deepak Simon states:
"I want to extract data from a cube with more than 16 fields."+
We are using BI 7.0...is that restriction still in place for this version?
Thanks,
Bill
