Can Open Hub Destinations be used with Multiproviders?

We're looking to export data from a multiprovider, using Open Hub Destinations, however when I try to create the OHD, Multiprovider does not show up as an object type. I've tried entering Infocube, but then when I search for the multiprovider, it is not on the list.
We are using BW 7.0.
Thank you

Hi Michael,
No MultiProviders cant be used as a source for an Open Hub Destinations.
BI objects such as InfoCubes, DataStore objects, InfoObjects (attributes or texts), and InfoSets can be used.
Chk this help link.

Execute Open Hub destination(OHD) using ABAP

Dear Experts,
We are using OHD to export data form BW into an application server.As per teh requirement Process chain is not used to execute the OHD.
The DTP for the same is execurted using ABAP OOPs ( abap report,).
The output from an OHD is a file format in the application server. I have a requiremnet to capture error during generating a file in the application server. say for eg if the file is not generated because of space issue , then this error has to be captured in the ABAP report..
I feel for capturing error which occurs during file generation, one has to capture the complete flow of, data getting into OHD and then generating a file in the application server (using OHD) , in the ABAP report( using ABAP class methods)
Is anybody aware of teh standard class methods used to capture teh flow of open hub so taht I can display the errors on teh screen...
Help appreciated,,,,,
Obliged,
KT..

I'm pretty sure you're in the wrong forum. from the header of this forum:
This forum is dedicated to the SAP BusinessObjects BI Solution Architecture...
Please see if you can find a more appropriate ABAP forum

Which 3rd party tools can support Open Hub Destination?

Hi BI experts,
In the Open Hub Destination Type, I have a choice between Database Table, File or Third Party Tool. From what I read from SAP documentation, the Third Party Tool which is supported is Ascential. Apart from Ascential, what are other 3rd party Tools can Open Hub Destination link up to ?
Can Microsoft BI be linked up?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Yes, SSIS can be used with Open hub.
Refer to below mentioned link:

DTP Delta request for open hub destination.

Hi expert,
As you know, In BW 7.0, open hub destination is used for open hub service, and you can create tranformation/DTP for the destination. and in some case the DTP delta is enabled.
my questions are
1) in the context menu of open hub destination, I did not find something like manage, which could list all the DTP request executed for this open hub destination..but for normal infocube or ods, you can find a list.
2) if the DTP could enable the delta, where can I delete the latest delta request, and have a new load..
3) I assume the DTP could be excuted with batch integrated with process chain by process type 'DTP', right ? if the destination type is third party tool, can it also be integrated with process chain ?
4) can give some obvious difference of InfoSpoke and open hub destination in terms of advantage and disadvantage..
Thanks a lot for the feedback.
Best Regards,
Bin

Open hub destination with datasource as the source

Hi,
I am trying to use the new features of BI for open hub destination where you can use datasource as the source for extraction.
I have created an infopackage, loaded data to PSA and from there to open hub destination via the DTP.
When I try to execute the DTP, I get the following error:
<b>Datapackage processing terminated.
Error in substep
You are not authorized to use this transformation.</b>
I have been able to use the DTP to load open hub destination targets with datastore and infocubes as source.
Also when we turn on the security trace, it doesn't fail anywhere.
Has anybody faced a similar problem?
Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Payal.

I have created to OHD - one for a 3.5 data source and one for a 7.0 data source (both are different data sources). While creating DTP for the 7.0 data source, it did create a default mapping for transformation.
But I still get same error in both cases.
When I create the DTP, it tries to create a transformation. But I get an information message :
Exception CX_RS_MSG occurred (program: CL_RSBK_PATH==================CP, include: CL_RSBK_PATH==================CM00I, line: 16).
I can still activate the DTP and when I run it says I don't have authorization to this transformation.
I think there are issues while creating the transformation, but I don't know what!

SAP BI 7.0 to SAP PI to FTP and with Open Hub Destination ...Help!!!!

Dear SCN Experts,
I am currently working on scenario where I have a requirement to push data from SAP BI 7.0 to SAP PI 7.
And I am using Client proxy for SAP BI to send the data from BI tables to SAP PI and then to write to FTP address.
Now the challenge I am facing is the ABAP Proxy how to use it with Process Chain and also I am having Open hub destination created for the same.(Specifically with the new version i.e. 7.0)
Can you atleast make me understand what are the steps involved in this for Client Proxy, Process Chaing, How will proxy trigger and other regarding the same.
I have searched SDN but got the document having older versions in it. Which doesn't serve the purpose.
Regards,
[Gaurav Patwari|http://gauravpatwari.wordpress.com]

Hi Michal,
Thanks for the reply buddy.
I know that we can run the scheduled report for the proxy to fetch the report. But the client requirement is to use process chain, Open hub destination which fetches data from the ODS to Ztable created.
We need to fetch that data from the table via our proxy. I am familiar with that report related method.
I have one document using the same method but is using Infospoke(which is now obsolete) so have to OHD and also some of the proxy of XI's older version. So is not helping me out.
Please do the needful. Or can you send me some sample scenario like this with screen shots. It will be a great help.

Inconsistency with ZPMSENDSTATUS for Open Hub Destination

Hi Experts,
I dont know you have come accross this scenario but I will apprecaite all your advice.
We have APO 7.0 and we are using the BW component to extract data to informatica.
Our environment is as follow
SAP SCM 7.0 SP8
Informatica PWCD 8.1.6 hot fix 13
1.we have created 5 chains with similar variants for ZPMSENDSTATUS
2. Each variant relates to a folder and workflow to be executed within informatica
3. When we execute the chains only two work correctly all the time and 3 fail
the 3 that are failing are failing within the ZPMSENDSTATUS when running API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS. This is odd since the other two only differ on the workflow to be executed and obviously on the Open Hub destination. Can anyone provide some advice on this?
thanks,
Nat

Hi Maruthi,
thanks for your response but here are the details for the variants that are working and failining
working:
DEST: < here we have the RFC that relates to the logical system and the program id which is also included in saprfc.ini>
INFPARA: AERO/APO:WF_SAP_APO_PART_PLATFORM_ABP2_BGA:S_M_SAP_APO_PART_PLATFORM_ABP2
CONTEXT: OHS API
OHDEST: <OHDS defined as target>
Failing:
DEST: < here we have the RFC that relates to the logical system and the program id which is also included in saprfc.ini>
INFPARA: AERO/APO:WF_SAP_APO_PART_PLATFORM_ABP4_ATR:S_M_SAP_APO_PART_PLATFORM_ABP4
CONTEXT: OHS API
OHDEST: <OHDS defined as target>
So you see, they all target the same folder only different workflows. Still it works for the first and not for the second.

Hierarchy Extraction using Open hub Destination

Hi,
I need to extract hierarchy data for Application code(YAPPLCD) using OHD. In the Hierarchy there are 4 components(Industry, Market, Application Group and Application Code). i need to get all the 3 details for the Application Code(i.e to which Indusrty does it belong, Market and Application Group).But HIerarchy table is having one record for each apllication code, Market, Application Group, Application code.
How to get relevant data for the application code?
My file format should be:
Appl.Code | Appl.Group | Market | Industry.

Hi Suma...
The SAP Open Hub service enables you to distribute data from an SAP BI/BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, you can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for the export of data is the InfoSpoke. Using this, you can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred, leveraging SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) as the transfer/transform mechanism.
SAP BI objects such as InfoCubes, ODS objects, or InfoObjects can act as open hub data sources. You can select database tables or flat files as open hub destinations, and then use those destinations as actual sources within SSIS. To automate the extraction using SAPu2019s Open Hub Service, youu2019ll need to setup a process chain. Note that both a full and delta modes are also available as the extraction mode.
As stated already with direct extraction from SAP R/3, once data is extracted out of SAP NetWeaver® BI (SAP BW), the destination of that data could be any relational database (such as SQL Server), and then reports (from SSRS) and multi-dimensional cubes (from SSAS) can be created from that database data. The resulting SQL Server reports/cubes could then be used within the Microsoft Business Intelligence delivery mechanisms, such as through Excel, SharePoint, PerformancePoint, etc.

Use of Open Hub Destination to load data into BPC

Hi Gurus,
I want to load the data from SAP BI to BPC (NW version), using Open Hub Destination. I want to know few things about this.
1) What method should I use? Should I use Destination as Flat Files or Database tables? If Database tables, how can I use this data in the tables in BPC?
2) If I go for Flat Files, which is saved in the application server of BI, how can I import those files to BPC and use it using Data Manager?
3) Also, in case of Flat Files, there are two files which are created. One is the control file and other one is the data file. How can I use both of them? Or can I just use data file without header?
Your replies will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Anjali,
I can use the standard data manager package from BI to BPC, if the CSV file is available in the BPC Server or in case if I am directly extracting from BW object, InfoObject or InfoCube.
But, since I will be using Open Hub, the output of this can be in a Database Table or a CSV file, preferably in SAP Application Server. In such cases, how can I use the Database table or CSV file in the standard Data Manager Package?
Thanks for your reply.

Open Hub Destination with Application Server Issue

Hi all,
I have requriment that i need to save my monthly data in application server with the help of OPen Hub Destination.I have created an DSO
on that DSO i have created an Open HUb with application server as target.When i store my every month file in application server that file name should be a per the system date.
So i have Created an LOgical File----ztest_data
Assgined Physical path to Logical File-----/usr/sap/<sysid>........
created an Logical File name------Ztest_data_file....
IN the open HUb i have selected Aplication Server as My target and i have checked the box.
I have selected Logical FIle name and given the file name which i have created-----ztest_data_file...
Runned DTP it is showing no errors,but when i check in AL11 ,in the path which i have given(/usr/sap/<sysyid>........,i couldnt find the file.....
Please check this and let me know...
Thanks In Advance,
Bobby.

Hi,
Please check the link /people/jyothi.velpula/blog/2010/01/20/creating-open-hub-destination-using-a-logical-file-to-extract-the-data .
Also is your DTP full or delta. Try running the DTP as Full.
Hope it helps.

Open Hub Destination with Flat File - Structure file is not correct

Using the new concept for Open Hub destination (NOT an InfoSpoke).
Output is to a Flat File. Remember that when output is to a flat file 2 files are generated: the output file and a structure file (S_<name of output file>.CSV)
The Output file structure corresponds to the structure defined in the Open Hub destination.
However, the S_ (structure) file does not reflect the proper structure. The S_ file lists all fields sorted in alphabetical order based on the field name, instead of listing all fields in the correct order that they appear in the output file.
I have not found any settings that I can modify for the S_ file. When using InfoSpokes the S_ file is correct and I do not have to do anything.
The issue is that the S_ file cannot be used to describe the output file. This is a problem.
Anyone knows a solution to this issue? The goal is to get the S_ file to reflect the proper structure.
I could not find any Notes on this. Please do not send general help links, this is a specific question.
Thank you all for your support.

Hi,
However, the S_ (structure) file does not reflect the proper structure. The S_ file lists all fields sorted in alphabetical order based on the field name, instead of listing all fields in the correct order that they appear in the output file.
As I know and checked this is not the case. The S_ file has the fields in the order of infospoke object sequence ( and in transformation tab, source structure).
I would suggest you to control it again.

Data Extraction in Open Hub Destination using Process Chain

Hi
I want to extract data in Open Hub Destination (database table)from Data Store Object(ODS) through Process Chain.
When i tried to create process chain, i found only one option under Process types - Data export into External System. Here it asks for Infospoke instead of Open Hub Destination.

Michael is correct and below is the rationale...
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/58e1cdbed430d9e10000000a11466f/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/58e1cdbed430d9e10000000a11466f/content.htm</a>
<b>Integration</b>
You can use the data transfer process to update data to the open hub destination. The data is transformed in this process. Not all rules types are available in the transformation for an open hub destination: Formulas, reading master data, time conversion, currency translation and unit conversion are not available.
Hope it Helps

Open Hub Destination question

Hi,
We want to be able to extract data from a cube and would like to use Open Hub Destination for it. We also want to extract deltas.
The question is ..
Should we be making a single info package for this with delta capability ..
or 2 separate info packages .. 1 for full mode and another for delta mode.
Regards
Vandana

Hi,
Yes what you said it is write
from which cube do u want to retract the daat that cube will be the source
first create the open hub in RSBO tcode and
in open hub destination select aht and create the transformation between the table( to where u want to export)
then create the DTP between the cube to the table
and directly u can use the delta DTP first all the records will come and later onle delta records will be updated.

To view the data in open hub destination

Hi all,
Can anyone help me out how to check the data in open hub destination file.
These are the details:
Destination: File
Type of file : Logical file
Application Server file name : XXXXXXX
If it was file name, i know it has to be checked in AL11 with directory name and file name.
Here its a logical file name. Which is the directory corresponding to this?
Thanks,
tinkugeo

Hi,
Question: "Are all the logical files are saved in the home directory DIR_HOME?
Please correct me if I am wrong"
Ans: When you create an Open hub destination using Physical file, the file will get created in DIR_HOME directory (by default) in AL11
And for locating the physical path in AL11. Go through the below link. it gives ans to all your ques

Open hub Destinations - Third-Party Tools As Destinations

Dear all, below is the SAP Help process flow steps. I am quiet clear of all the steps except the APIs. Where do we define these APIs? When it says "You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction" where do I use it? Is it in the 3rd party tool? or is it in SAP BI.
If it is in 3rd party tool, where in 3rd party tool. Do I need to write as code ? or would I have an option in the 3rd party tool?
If someone can help me with Microsoft connector using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages to SAP BI that would be helpful.
Where in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages can I use/put this APIs? Any help Plzz
If it is in SAP BI where in SAP BI do I have to use these APIs? Any help is highly appreciated
Regards,
KK
Process Flow:
Extraction to the third-party tool can be executed as follows:
       1.      You define an open hub destination with Third-Party Tool as the destination type.
       2.      You create an RFC destination for your third-party tool and enter it in the definition of the open hub destination.
       3.      You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction.
       4.      You either start extraction immediately or include it in a process chain. You can also start this process chain from the third-party tool using process chain API RSPC_API_CHAIN_START. The extraction process then writes the data to a database table in the BI system.
       5.      When the extraction process is finished, the system sends a notification to the third-party tool using API RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY.
       6.      The extracted data is read by API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_READ_DATA.
       7.      The status of the extraction is transferred to the monitor by API RSB_API_OHS_REQUEST_SETSTATUS.

It's been a along time since i worked with open hub, but here goes:
The Third Party tool needs parameters or switches to work correctly. Think of the old DOS commanda the "/a" "/b" suffix.
The APIs are simply a way to pass these parameters from the BW source to the Third Party target.
If your tool does not need them, don't worry about them.
