Business Content TIME Char on Cal Week

Hi Experts,
With regards to my requirment is there any time char avaliable in business content
similar to
0CALMONTH     Calendar Year/Month
0CALMONTH2     Calendar month
is there any time char avaliable on Calendar week
0CALWEEK     Calendar Year/Week
Thanks
Krishna

Hi there,
there aren't any other similar time characteristics and you cannot create other custom time characteristics. Nevertheless, you can create a custom characteristic and use as a reference the appropriate time characteristic (e.g., 0CALMONTH, 0CALWEEK, etc.)

Taking too much time incollecting in business content activation

Hi all,
I am collecting business content object for activation. I have selected 0fiAA_cha object,while cllecting in the activation but it is taking too much time and then it asks for source
system authorisation and then throws error maximum run time exceded. i have selected data flow before there.
What can be the reason for it.
Please help..

Hi ,
You should also always try and have the latest BI content patch installed but I don't think this is the problem. It seems that there
are alot of objects to collect. Under 'grouping' you can select the option 'only necessary objects', please check if you can
use this option to install the objects that you need from content.

Business Content Activation - run time error

Hi guys,
We were at plugin 2002.1. We installed PI 2002.2 and PI 2003.1 on top of it.
After the plug-in upgrade, we are at support pack 9 for SAP-BW and 13 for BI-Content. For aba and basis, we are at 620 and support pack 32.
As part of the regression testing after the 2003.1 plugin upgrade, we found out that the business content activation abends with the following run time error.
Runtime Errors SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC
Exception CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
Looks like it is trying to insert into table RSOLTPSOURCEFIET and the row already is existing. I thought the activation process is supposed to update something if it is already out there.
If we just select the 'only necessary', the activation goes through ok, but if we select 'before and after in the data flow', we get this abend.
Any clues???
Best regards,
makaleem

Hi Seow,
This is how I resolved it. I looked at the ST22 closely and one of the messages indicated that the number range is missing in tran SNRO for an infoObject. I created an entry for that infoobject using SNRO and tried activation and it worked.
When we created an OSS for SAP to look into it, they recommended the following two things. I tried these two but it did not work. I am mentioning them below just in case they may help you.
1) Sometimes there is inconsistency in the content cache when trying to activate objects and we have to delete the repository cache. To delete the repository cache, go to RSA1 ---> Business Content -
> Extras ---> Delete Rep Cache
2) Execute SAP_DROP_TMPTABLES program for types 1,2,3 and 6.
If this helps, don't forget to assign points.

Business Content Datasources -Do i need a down time?

Hello friends,
quick question folks
I am going live in Production soon.I would like to know if i need to know if i need to request downtime in R3.
    Master Data
1) 0PM_MAINTPOS_ATTR
    0PM_MAINTPOS_TEXT
    Transactional Data
2) 0CO_OM_CCA_3
     0CO_OM_CCA_8
All four datasources mentioned above business content datasources.They are all full load and no lo related.Do i need to request a downtime for them or do i need to fill any tables or clear any ques for them.
Please advise,
Ronit.
(Points shall be assigned)

Hi Ronit,
none of these datasources mentioned below require downtime.
You can go ahead and load data online and also no table filling is required.

Part 2: Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?

I will appreciate some clarification on the some points made in response to my previous post "Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?"
1.
" ...youd better analyze those cubes for data redundancy and presence of data youll never use. " I will appreciate some clarification on the type of analysis you are referring to. Examples will help.
2.
"If you want to combine several found IOs in your custom dataprovider, then again you must know (or figure out) relationships between these IOs." I will appreciate some clarification on the type of relationship you are referring to. Examples will help.
3.
I am a bit confused with "..include into ODS structure ALL fields required for the cube" but you also noted noted that "...except navigational attributes and chars and KFs that are going to be determined in TRs or URs."
If you exclude ALL these, haven't you excluded all the fields you included in the ODS structure?
4.
"Consider carefully the ODS key fields selection. Their combination should not allow data aggregation that you dont need."
I may be missing the point here, I understand that you need to select the fields which will form the unique ID for the records in the ODS under the Key Field (please correct me if I am wrong with the purpose of the Key Field), but I don't understand the discussion of "aggregation" in the context.
Thanks in advance

Hallo
I try to give some exaplanation based on the previous answer.
1. Data redundancy - make sure you do not store the same information. does not make sense to have data redundanty across you Data Warehouse. this is also a cost. just sotre the same information one time if you get all what you need.
2. whatwhever you build you dp, which consist of IO, you need to know with kind of relation (1:1 or 1:n - n:n and so on) exist between them. that will help you when you model you infoprovider. For example I would never pit togheter IO (n:m) in the same dimension if you expect an high number of cardinality. Sometime an IO can be an attribute of another one (depend on relation. For example
Business Partner and his Address. Usually you have a relation 1:1, in this case address is an attribute of BParten and store it in the Masterdata instead then DP
3. Sometime when you load from ODS to CUBE, you can fill some IO (which are in the infocube and not in the ODS)through ABAP routine in TR-Start Routine of Update Rule. Does not make sense to include these IO in the ODS as they are NULL or Blank (the deault value). This can happen when for example, you first load in the ODS (Price and Quantity) and then you calculate Sell price later (Price * Quantity). of course it could be doen also in the Bex. Depends on other factors (Performance - Loaidng -Sizing)
4. Make sure that the KEY definition of ODS is accordingly to the data otherwise you will aggregate the data and later maybe if you need the detail you miss it.
for example: customer - product - Distr Chan - Sell Price
if each Customer can buy each product for any Distrution Channel, then when you build your ODS(Customer - Product and Distribution must be KEY) otherwise (if you have only Customer - Product KEY for example) you will lose the details for Distribution Channel.
I hope eveyrhting is clear

Mike

Please help on Business content

Hi Gurus,
I have read so many answers and papers giving the steps how to transfer,replicate and extract business content, that is all fine and very helpful. I apologise for very long topic, but I think answers to this would help loads of learners like and everyone would be grateful to you(all).
But not found a details such as for e.g. for cube 0FIAP_C03
Question: Does this business content has InfoObjects,ODS, InfoCube and BEx queries are already defined in BW? Do we need to activate them and start reporting on the queries?
R/3 Side:
1. Transfer Data sources 0FI_AP_3(Vendors: Line Items) and 0FI_AP_4(Vendors: Line Items with Delta) from R/3 from RSA5. Does this mean that the Data sources are created/activated in R/3?
BW Side:
2. AWB --> Source Systems --> Select Source System ---> Right click ---> Replicate Data Sources. When I click on + sign next to the DS, this shows already assigned infosource. When I click on - sign next to the DS, this asks an infosource to be assigned. What does the +/- sign means there? What does the 'TICK MARK' means there?
3. AWB ---> Business Content ---> Install --> Do we get a chance here to activate InfoObjects, Transfer Rules,Update rules, Infocube and BEx query? Once we install here, then only the cube 0FIAP_C03 is going to appear in InfoProvider and then for BEx query designer?
4. AWB -
> Info Sources -
> My Application Component ---> Assign InfoSource (We already did that in Step2, what does this mean here?) -> Assign Data Source-> Create InfoPackage -
> Schedule. One (0FI_AP_3) DataSource is for line Items and another for Line Items Delta (0FI_AP_4). Do we need to schedule both at the same time? Is the DS 0FI_AP_3 not for Init Delta? Is the DS 0FI_AP_4 not for Delta?
Please can you send me any documents of this detail to [email protected].
I appreciate all your patience to read and answer my questions here. Is there any training or personal attention available in the UK?
Thanks again.
Chitra.

HI,
Question: Does this business content has InfoObjects,ODS, InfoCube and BEx queries are already defined in BW? Do we need to activate them and start reporting on the queries?
Answer:Business content has infoobject, ods, infocube, queries in "D" version.
SAP delivers the BI Content objects in a new D Version.
Before you can work with BI Content objects, you have to convert them from the SAP delivery version (D version) into the active version (A version).
R/3 Side:
1. Transfer Data sources 0FI_AP_3(Vendors: Line Items) and 0FI_AP_4(Vendors: Line Items with Delta) from R/3 from RSA5. Does this mean that the Data sources are created/activated in R/3?:
Like BI business content. predefined objects in R/3 (datasources ) are maintained in RSA5 and Activated datasources are available in RSA6
BW Side:
2. AWB --> Source Systems --> Select Source System ---> Right click ---> Replicate Data Sources. When I click on + sign next to the DS, this shows already assigned infosource. When I click on - sign next to the DS, this asks an infosource to be assigned. What does the +/- sign means there? What does the 'TICK MARK' means there?
3. AWB ---> Business Content ---> Install --> Do we get a chance here to activate InfoObjects, Transfer Rules,Update rules, Infocube and BEx query? Once we install here, then only the cube 0FIAP_C03 is going to appear in InfoProvider and then for BEx query designer?
Ans: Once install it it will be available in Active version accroding to the component it has been assigned(SD or CRM). otherwise it will be in Unassigned Node.
4. AWB -
> Info Sources -
> My Application Component ---> Assign InfoSource (We already did that in Step2, what does this mean here?) -> Assign Data Source-> Create InfoPackage -
> Schedule. One (0FI_AP_3) DataSource is for line Items and another for Line Items Delta (0FI_AP_4). Do we need to schedule both at the same time? Is the DS 0FI_AP_3 not for Init Delta? Is the DS 0FI_AP_4 not for Delta?

Business content implementation timeline

Hello folks,
Trying to get an idea of timeline to plan for implementing standard business content for the new G/L functionality and Asset accounting. Assume a brand new SAP BI install EHP3 and no customization. Will appreciate any guidelines to consider for this.
Thanks!

No customization? Standard guidance is that business content only gets you 10-20% of the way....
Also still many variables...performance optimization...for instance do you use FI_GL_10 or FI_GL_12...same content but different method of delta extraction and big concern depending on requirements....Also do you plan to convert business content to follow current best practice? LSA/EDW approach? Or leave it in 3.x format? Queries? Implementation of MultiProviders? Time to design security roles and validate? Bex web or simply analyzer? Are you wanting to know end to end time for no customization and integration testing with users, and time to go-live? Or just straight content activation time in development only?
The straight up content activation time with no customization, testing, etc. is the smallest part of the project, but is still significant depending on which InfoProviders you choose, etc.
You can stand it up in a couple of weeks...but you'll spend months making it useful.

Is it possible to delete data selectively from Business content cubes

Dear Experts,
         Requesting you to help me out to know, is it possible to delete data selectively from Business content cubes.
When I'm trying to delete selectively from Business content cubes, the background job gets cancelled with ST22 logs stating
A RAISE statement in the program "SAPLRSDRD" raised the exception condition "X_MESSAGE".
Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior program, processing was terminated.
and i tried with few more Technical content cubes but the same thing happens.
Pls let me know how to selectively delete data from Business content cubes if it's possible?.
Thanks in advance for your favorable assistance.
Regards,
Ramesh-Kumar.

Hi Ramesh,
Follow below steps for selective deletion:
1.     Transaction code: Use the Transaction code DELETE_FACTS.
2.     Generate selective deletion program:
A report program will be generated of the given name, here .
3.     Selection screen:
Take the deletion program u201CZDEL_EPBGu201D to the transaction code SE38 to see/execute the program.
After executing it will take you to a selection screen:
As we need to carry out deletion selective on Calendar week, we need to get the screen field for the field Calendar week. For this, click on the Calendar week field and press F1.
Click on the technical information button (marked in red box above) you will get below screen:
     ABAP program to carry out the Calendar week calculation
Problem scenario: As stated earlier the requirement is to delete the data from the cube based on the calendar week. Thus a code must be developed such that the number of weeks should be taken as input and corresponding calendar week should be determined. This calendar week should be then passed to the deletion program in order to carry out the data deletion from the InfoCube.
     Transaction code: Use T-code SE38 in order to create a program.
Logic: Suppose we need to delete the data older than 100 weeks.
a.     Get the number of weeks and system date in variables and calculate the total number of days :
lv_week = 100.      *number of weeks
lv_dte = sy-datum.     *system date
v_totaldays = lv_week * 7.      *total days
b.     Get the corresponding calendar day from the total days. This is obtained by simply subtracting the total no. of days from the system date.
lv_calday = lv_dte - v_totaldays. *corresponding calday.
c.     Now in order to get the calendar week corresponding to the calculated calendar day we must call a function module 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'. This function module takes input as Calendar day and Fiscal year variant and returns the appropriate fiscal period.
Get the sales week time elements
call function 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
    exporting
      i_date                      = lv_calday
      i_periv                     = lc_sales
    importing
      e_buper                     = lv_period
      e_gjahr                     = lv_year
    exceptions
      input_false                 = 1
      t009_notfound               = 2
      t009b_notfound              = 3.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    ls_time-calweek(4)      = lv_year.
    ls_time-calweek+4(2)    = lv_period.
endif.
v_week = ls_boots_time-calweek.
Note: We can pass the fiscal year variant which can be obtained from the table T009B.For e.g. here fiscal year variant lc_sales = Z2. LS_TIME will be any table with suitable time units.
d.     Now we have obtained the required calendar week in the v_week variable. This calendar week is the week till which we need to keep the data. And older data than this week will be deleted. This deletion will be done by the deletion program
Submitting the Data deletion program for ZEPBGC01 and key field
SUBMIT ZDEL_EPBG WITH C039 LT v_week.
          Here the calendar week value is submitted to the deletion program ZDEL_EPBG with the screen field of calendar week.
Hope ... this will help you..
Thanks,
Jitendra

Business content datasource enhancement

Hi Experts,
I am new to HR.
We are implementing HR modules Personnel development and Personnel administration, while I was looking into business content extractors 0HR_PA_0 and OHR_PA_1, I found that there were only few fields in the extract structure but there were many fields in the cube.Do we need to enhance the datasources? how it works?. If anybody did the enhancement to these datasources, please give me the information with examples.
Anita

No, it is no necesary to enhance standard data sources. Those datasources extract, basically employee and date. Most infoobjects in cube are calculated from 0PERSON and 0EMPLOYEE attributes, having in count the date and employed extracted, because most in HR is time dependent.
Assign point is usefull

DataSources
New DataSources have been created for NW 2004s BI Content Add-On 2 and SRM 5.0. These are described here, along with their extraction logic.
The following graphic shows the data flow from the DataSources to the DataStore objects
Structure
Each DataSource has an extraction structure and a data extractor. Generally, this is an RFC-capable function module.
There are two types of extraction: Specific extraction and generic extraction:
Specific extraction is strongly oriented towards the data model of the BI System and the necessary extract structure. It executes DataSource-specific processing steps.
The logic contained within the generic extraction is implemented centrally and can therefore be reused by the specific extraction modules. The generic extraction deals with access to the SRM database and is similar for each DataSource.
Generic and specific extraction
Extraction logic in detail
Data extraction involves the following six function modules:
InitLoad
InitLoad is called as soon as an initial upload is started in the BI System. In other words, it is executed when data is loaded into the BI System for the first time. The module can restrict the data extraction according to filter criteria that were defined in BI during extraction (for example, extract the data for a particular timeframe). InitLoad packages the data before it is transferred to the BI System.
DeltaLoad
DeltaLoad is called when a document is modified in the SRM System. The module writes data that has accumulated since the initial loading to a delta queue.
Data Collector
The Collector reads the required data from the database in the source system. For performance reasons, the data is then buffered in system-internal tables. The tables have the same structure as in the database. This saves time and effort, because data conversion is kept to a minimum.
Data Consolidator
The Consolidator groups data that belongs together from a business point of view. The consolidated data is stored in internal tables and is prepared for further processing.
Data Normalizer
The Denormalizer prepares the source data for the BI System. It calculates key figures that are required for the report but are not contained on the database and converts data types in the source system to data types of the BI System. Depending on the BI data model, the system now decides how each row is filled with data.
Data Mapper
During mapping of the data, the system defines which fields of the denormalized data structure are assigned to the fields of the extract structure. In this way, flat and one-dimensional lines are generated from the data.
The following table shows the technical names of the function modules of the individual DataSources:
Description
0SRM_TD_PO
0SRM_TD_CF
0SRM_TD_IV
0SRM_TD_PO_ACC
InitLoad

Hi Raj,
I have searched for those objects in the BI content for activating those objects, but those objects are not available in the BI content.
In general while activating the info cube if any object is in inactive means we will activate the object seperatly and we will activate the info cube it will resolve the issue. but here those 0DB-- objects are not available in the BI content.
While activating the sales and inventory info cube it was throughing the short dump, In the short dump it is showing these message.
ASSIGN_LENGTH_0 " "
SAPLSNR3 or "LSNR3F01"
LOCAL_BUFFER
please treat this as urgent.

Error while activating standard business contents e.g : 0SD_C11, 0SD_C12

Hi Friends,
I am getting this error while activating the Cube ,I'm not able to see update rules after activated in the Modelling.. My using 7.o but working on 3.x version, with support package 15.
When i stimuldate following are the errors:
80BP_ID not maintained
Data source 0DBDUNS_IMPORT_ATTR not maintained
Error while reading InfoProvider 0SD_O01 etc...
Please help me out from this error since two days i'm tryhing to resolve but i'm not able to activate...

Hello,
Go to business content, select the Infoprovider which you intend to install, select the before after option. Then say install & ignore the warnings & say yes. If still you are not able to view the update & transfer rules there might be some issues in the source system.
1] Check in rsa 6 that the datasources feeding to your cube are avialable or not.
2] Check the same is been replicated in BW or not.
3] The time stamp from both source system & BW system should match, otherwise replicate it again.
Hope this helps.

How to find out the activation log for a info* from Business content

Hi,
I work in a BW 3.5 environment where a lot of projects are being done simultaneously and a lot of Business content are getting activated. BW often activates a lot of other objects when a certain section of seemingly unrelated Business contents are activated without much caution.
When I look into some of the objects related to my area of the Business content, I find them already activated.
How do I find the activation( who, what time etc ) log history of certain objects like info objects, cubes, ODS, Infosource etc..
This will help me immensely to communicate with various people( who inadvertently activeted them) and find issues quickly.
   Thanks
Arun

Hi,
The tables in which application logs are stored are:
BAL_AMODAL                     Application Log: INDX table for amodal com

BALSUBT                        Application log: Sub-object texts
Within Tcode SLG1 you can query systemwide object activation on various selection criteria.
Ofcourse furthermore for objects already once transported to PRD you can search transport requests or object lists via Tcode SE01.
