Change log of cube

Hello experts,
I have an InfoCube that is cleared and reloaded every day. There is a log or a table where I can see the data loaded in the elapsed days?
Thanks in advance,
Vito

Hi,
in the manage cube / reconstruction, you'll see all the requests loaded.
Alternatively goto table RSICCONT.
Depending on how you delete the cube, you can goto manage cube / content / selective deletion / log in order to see what and when has been deleted. Double clicking a record will show you the detail of the deletion.
Hope this helps...

Change Log Data from DSO to CUBE

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to load/transfer change log data as well from DSO to Cube
Thanks

Hi,
Yes it is possible.
Create a DTP from DSO to cube.
In the extraction tab of DTP choose the option
Datasource Change log
Hope it Helps!!

Identify ODS change log request from Cube update rules init routine

Hello all.
I need to use a logic in the Start routine of a cube, whcih change log request are move from an ODS when doing a delta.
Anyone knows if this is possible???
Thnaks and best regards,
Alofnso.

Hello Oscar.
Basically my requirement is to do a selective deletion of the cube, before I load the new data, but the selective deletion has to be done according to some fields of the data that is going to be load to the cube.
That´s why I need this.
Best Regards,
Alfonso.

Filled fields become blank in DSO change log

Hi experts,
I find an unusual behavior in DSO activation.
For some records for which I find in PSA, new data table (and in debug also!!!) correct data, when the request is activated I find in change log table all characteristic fields empty; the key fields and key figure fields are ok and correct in all tables.
It happen randomly for some orders and for a few requests.
It happen when I have one storno record, for example:
PSA (order, item, customer, material, storno, quantity)
10000, 10, AAA, YYY, , 25
10000, 10, AAA, YYY, X, -25
DEBUG (order, item, customer, material, storno, quantity)
10000, 10, AAA, YYY, , 25
10000, 10, AAA, YYY, X, -25
CHANGE LOG (order, item, customer, material, storno, quantity)
10000, 10, AAA, YYY, , 25
10000, 10, , , X, -25
ACTIVE DATA (order, item, customer, material, storno, quantity)
10000, 10, AAA, YYY, 25
In some other cases:
ACTIVE DATA (order, item, customer, material, storno, quantity)
10000, 10, , , -25
Have you some ideas? It is very strange.
We are on a 7.0 BW system, but with 3.5 data flow (update rule).
Thanks in advance.

Vito,
This happens some times...
1. Did you transport any change to this DSO where characteristics were added and are these the ones that are blank...
When this happens - see if you can clear the change log ( if this is an option ) and then reactivate the cube.
Also there is a program to regenerate the activation program, I am not able to locate this - but then usually reactivating the ODS will usually clear this issue because it regenerates the activation program.

Need suggestion to get data from change log table of ODS.

Hello,
There is a case where i am loading opportunity header data from header ODS and opportunity item data from item ODS in the opportunity cube.
Status (1= OPEN, 2= WON ETC) of the opportunity are available only in header ODS and not in item ODS.
While loading data from header ODS to cube, I am loading it directly but while loading data from item ODS to cube i am using active data table of header ODS as a lookup in the update rule from item ODS to cube. I am selecting status from the active data table of header ODS while loading data from item ODS to cube.
Since active data table will have only after image records, there is some data mismatch in the report as i am selecting data from active data table of header ODS while loading data from item ODS to cube.
I need to select data from Change log in order to get before image also instead of active data table in order to overcome this issue. Is there any way by which i can do selection from Change log instead of active data table as change logs are generated at run time.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Regards,
Sanjay Chaurasia.

Hi,
You can use the changelog table of the DSO.
Right click manage the Header DSO, go to the contents tab and click Change Log table. There you can see the technical name of the Change Log table.
In the update rule Routine, give the tech name of Change log table instead of Active table name.
Hope it helps.

Activation of ODS fails: Change-Log Request ODSR_... does not exist in ODS

Hello Experts,
I have a problem loading in an ODS object in Release BW 3.5. This load is in parallel to loading in a Cube and InfoObjects from 10 different SAP sources monthly.
Everytime, I load data, Activation fails. The Error message is "Change-Log Request ODSR_... does not exist in ODS ..." These Requests (30 requests) are very old starting with the Go-Live date of the application in 2005. If I search for the first Request in Reconstruct, a request without a InfoPackage-Name is found and if I reconstruct the request, all other new loaded Request are activated and everything is fine. The next month, the same error appears, but without the one old request in the list reconstructed the month before of course.
A few months before I had to repair loading and deleted also requests in the ODS. Then I realized my mistake, that reconstruction is not possible, because the request was gone in the reconstruction list. So I searched for the PSA Request in the ODS reconstruction list, found the requests and reconstructed these. Could this be the reason for my current problem?
But how can I stop this error? Reconstructing all of the requests did not work, because one request says, no active update rules exist for this request. So I stopped reconstructing every request of the long list.
Please help me, I could not find any helpful information until now ...
Many thanks in advance,
Hannes

Hi,
For the old requests that you don't want and that are not valid, goto the monitor for those and mark them red. After that you won't face any problems while activating the new requests.
The reason this is happening is that during activation BW thinks that these old requests are valid as they are green and tries to activate them as they are in squence. When it dosen't find them then it gives the error. If you mark them red, they are ignored and the next request is taken into consideration.
Cheers,
Kedar

Some key figures are not being correctly reversed in the Change Log

Hi Experts,
I'm working with the BI 7 (SP 15) and I have created an ODS with Overwrite option (Record Mode equal to ' ') and a Cube receiving data from this ODS.
Whenever I have a change in one existing record in R/3 side (already previously loaded to BW), it comes perfectly to the ODS and overwrite the record in the Active Data. However, in the change log table, the before image record is not reversing all the key figures, there is one (Quant type) which is not working and it is being doubled in the cube. All the other key figures are Amount type and are working fine. PLease see below some examples of the Change Log behavior:
First time the record comes - Change log content:
Material   Valid Dt   Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. ID
1234     May/01   $ 100.00       10          'N'     1
Second time when the record changes the Date:
Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. 1234     May/29   $ 100.00       10          ' '     2
1234     May/01   $ -100.00       10          'X'     2
Then the final result in the cube, after it is compressed, is:
Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity
1234     May/29   $ 100.00       20
Also, I have a Counter in the transformation to the Cube which is a constant equal to 1, it is also being aggregated erroneously. I could create a routine to check the record mode coming, but I'm not sure it is the best solution.
Can anybody help me to figure this out, please?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajkumar,
Actually it is a generic extractor (customized) and the ODS active data is getting the delta records correctly. After I extract from R/3 and activate the ODS, the active table has correct results, but the change log table has the problem described before. All the fields comes from one single extractor.
The 0RECORDMODE that I mentioned is about the setting in the transformation to the ODS. You have the Technical rule group where you can set the 0RECORDMODE, in my case it is set to ' ' (blank) which means it will receive After-Images from the extractor (which I think is correct in my case). The most curious is that it is working for almost all key figures (all amount type), except for the Price Unit which is Quantity type.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Duplicate records in ODS change log

Hi Experts,
I have loaded records from R/3 to ODS (psa and then data target).
Records looks good in ODS active data.
Then I did a delta load from ODS to InfoCube and I have recevied are the changed entries to Cube.
Then, I checked the ODS and the Datamart status was Checked.
But, when I did a delta load again after couple of days from ODS to InfoCube, I received some duplicate records. I have checked the Change Log of ODS and the duplicate records were there.
I am not sure why my ODS is transporting entries from the ODS request for which there was a datamart status already checked.
( I cannot do selective deletion because there are about 1000 duplicate entries and in random order..).
I beleive my best bet would be to:
1. Delete both the delta load requests (the request with correct records and the request with duplicate records) from InfoCube.
2. Remove datamart status from ODS
3. Delta load from ODS to InfoCube
Please let me know if this will solve the issue or I will still get the duplicate records in InfoCube?
Also, do I need to Delete Change log data?

Hi Ramesh,
The entries in Active Data of ODS looks good. No duplicates.
When i checked Change log,
I had entries in ODS change log from two differnent requests.
Request1 (Full repair request via PSA) in ODS (ODSR_xxxx1) has records the same as in R/3
(eg., entry for DocumentA has keyfigure as value +$1000)
Request2 (Delta Load via PSA) in ODS (ODSR_xxxx2) has two records with posive and negative keyfigues
(eg, entries for DocumentA has keyfugure as value +$1000 and DocumentA has keyfugure as value -$1000)
So, not sure if I should call these records as 'duplicates'.
But, I see 3 entries in InfoCube for DocumentA with keyfigure values as +$1000, -$1000 and +$1000.
I beleive the ODS change log should actually cancel the earlier +$1000 and load the new +$1000 entry.
But, it seems to be not replacing the old one.
I hope i am clear.

Delete change log data

I was going through posts regarding delete change-log data but I am bit confused with the answers.My data is moving from ODS to CUBE and for the performance reasons I want to delete Change-log data from PSA and keep only 3 day requests.My question - if I delete Change-log whether it effects the delta data from ODS to CUBE.Change-log maintains images so If I keep only 3 requests there will be images of only those 3 request data.If this happens then it will effect all the delta data going into CUBE
Let me know your suggessions
Rgs,

Hi,
     Yes, you can delete the data from the Change Log unless until you do not need to re-construct the data again from the change log table.
     As a good principle for safety reasons if data is not too large, you can keep the data for 7days. This will ensure us to be safe. If something went wrong on week-end say 2 days were gone and on 3rd day the user has identified and raised a ticket on this. Forth day will be for analyzing and re-construction.
    So, unless until if the data is not too large, you can keep it for 7 days in the Change log table and the rest you can delete. As said by the other members, deletion of Change Log table does not affect the delta as it compares with the Active Table and creates a Before Image and After Images records and updates in the Change Log Table.

Problem delete chang log from process chain BW 7.01

We have upgrade BW from 3.5 version to 7.01 version two month ago.
Now I realized that the process chain running one a week to delete PSA and change log don't work well after upgrade.
The process chain end without errors (status is green), but the change log are not deleted.
In the test system I try to delete the Change Log in 2 mode:
1-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log " and the datastoreobject = myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request and "Delete Activation Requests Only"). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DataStore = 0FIGL_O06, InfoArea = *
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000010, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Curr. Requests =
The following change logs were selected:
2-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from PSA " and the datasource= 8myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DS = 80FIGL_O06, LS = BWTCLNT100, IS = , AC =
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000015, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Load requests =
The following PSAs were selected:
In both case the change log is not deleted.
I can delete the change log only using Manage screen of my ods and then using Menu -> Environment ->Delete Change Log Data.
Anna Maria

I see that this topic is still active/unanswered...
We're having the same problem, but not just changelogs, also for PSAs. We have a weekly process chain that does housekeeping on our BW system, cleaning up PSAs and changelogs, compressing cubes, realigning time-dep masterdata and renewing indexes.
The PSA chain runs fine and about 90% of all PSAs get deleted, but there are some datasources (all of them are of type 8* datamart datasources) that don't get their PSAs deleted. It says "The following PSAs were selected:" and then nothing happens...
I tried all tickbox combinations and checked that there are no PSA entries blocked by invalid partitions. Manual deletion (via "manage" in the datasource) works fine, but is tedious and time consuming.
Also, most of the 8* datasource PSAs do get deleted. Just a handful (+/- 25) get skipped somehow.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eduard
PS: We're still running 3.5-style backend dataflow, but will eventually get converted to transformations and DTPs. But that's not on our agenda (yet).

Need of Change log deletion for a DSO, when DTP delta Init with Active Tabl

Hi,
Thanks for your time, please help me with the following
Scenario: I have Cube1 being updated from DSO1 with DTP delta, for quite some time. As per new requirement, I would need to create new data mart such that Cube2 gets updated from DSO1.
In order to Configure the delta, I am Considering Following options, please let me know, which one is right one.
Note: DSO1 is in Overwrite Mode.
Create one DTP with update Mode "Delta" , and "Active Table". I knew Delta Changes are captured in change log, but my understanding is, when you execute the DTP for the First time, it fetches the records from Active Table. And from 2nd Run onwards the very "same DTP" without "any changes" get the records from change log, even if we choose "Active Table".
is my understanding is Right?
Do I have to consider deleting the change log, because DSO1 is in Production from quite some time which is in Overwrite mode?
Do I have to create a DTP with Delta and Active Table, run the dtp Once(Init), then choose "Change Log for subsequent runs explicitly
please help me with these. I have reviewed many sap help articles and sdn threads but none of them were helpful. all of them explains, difference b/w active table and change log table, also gives scenarios like use a full DTP and then 2nd DTP with Delta without Data transfer. I am not looking for that kind of details.
Appreciate any help, Thanks again

Hi Uma,
Thanks for your response.
to your question, If I need to load all the data from DSO1 to Cube1, answer is NO. if you read my post once again,
Existing Flow is : DSO1 --> Cube1 (Means, Active Table and Change Logs of DSO1 already Filled Up)
Requirement is: DSO1 --> Cube2. (Need to Init the Delta, and Detlas going forward)
My Questions:
(1) Imagine, DSO1 has 10 requests, so we see resepctive data in Active Table as well as Change Log. As a matter of fact, Data is being updated to DSO1 in Overwrite Mode, so all the changes(10 requests equivalent) would be captured in Change Log, which in turn helpful / used when we do Delta from DSO1 to any Cube, in my case, it used to update to Cube1. As per new requirement, it needs to update to Cube2.
My assumption is, if I choose "Active table and Delta in Extraction Tab" in DTP, During First Run (Delta Init), Data would be fethed from Active table. And the 2nd Run Onwards, delta records would be fetehced from Change Log automatically, even if we don't change the selection from Active Table to Change Log.
Is My Assumption Right?,
in this process, Do I have to Delete Change Log
(2) Do I have to Explicitly change DTP setting from "Active Table to Change Log" Once Delta Init has been run with setting "Active table" inorder to get Deltas from DSO1 --> Cube2 ?
Appreciate your help

Difference between Delta "Change Log" and "Active Table (Without Archive)"?

In BI7.0 environment, we perform our Delta loads (the DTP settings under the Extraction tab, there is a field called Extraction Mode and it's value is selected as "Delta") every day among all our DSOs.
There is a section called "Delta Init. Extraction From..." under the same tab in DTP, there are four radio buttons:
Active Table (With Archive)
Active Table (Without Archive)
Archive (Full Extraction Only)
Change Log
Then what is the difference between "Change Log" and "Active Table (Without Archive)" if both Extraction Mode is "Delta" for two Delta loads?
Thanks!

Hi ,
The new options SP16 has are:(Chk Note 1096771)
Active Table (with Archive)
The data is read from the active table and from the archive or from a near-line storage if one exists. You can choose this option even if there is no active data archiving process yet for the DataStore object.
Active Table (Without Archive)
The data is only read from the active table. If there is data in the archive or in a near-line storage at the time of extraction, this data is not extracted.
Archive (Only Full Extraction)
The data is only read from the archive or from a near-line storage. Data is not extracted from the active table.
Change Log
The data is read from the change log of the DataStore object.
Delta will always be picked from change log table.Only during intialization you can choose between getting data from change log or active table.If you are doing the load first time and are initializzing delta in subsequent data targets, then pulling data from active table will get lesse volume of data then it would have got from change log table....All subsequent deltas will be picked up from the change log. And when we need to reload data into the data target (which would be a full load) - we use active table.
From change log : you can take below ones as targets
1) Cube 2) DSO with Addition as the update for the Keyfigures
From Active table: you can take below ones as targets
1) Cube ,if and only if, the records are never changes in the source once after creation
2) DSO with Addition as the update for the Keyfigures ,if and only if, the records are never changes in the source once after creation
3) DSO with Overwrite as the update for the Keyfigures ( incase deletions is not happening in the source system)

Change Logs for TCODE -- FILE

Hi Friends,
    Please help me in finding the change logs for the TCODE FILE,
    i.e The changes made to the Logical paths
   I had tried Utilities---->change logs , but unfortunately i cannot find any changes logs
   But there are changes made to the logical paths in my system but i cannot see them in change logs
thanks
chandrasekhar j

rec/client is a profile parameter, you can view the settings in transaction RZ10. However I find program RSPARAM more useful, the report lists all system parameters with their default and altered value. Also if you double-click on a parameter you can get to the full help text for its meaning.
The parameter essentially switches on table change logging for configuration tables (based on the technical settings of the table) and has to be set before the changes are made.
Hope this helps.

Sales Orders Change Log question

Hi All,
I am currently working on a project that involves querying SAP Database to get custom reports via web browser, I've made a lot of advances and most of the site is ready but I'm missing just one item that I hope you could help me.
Thing is I am working with the Sales Order change log and the problem comes one a user deletes a row. If I go to the change log inside SAP and see the differences a new record will be shown saying that row X was deleted and
if I go to the database (ADOC and ADO1 tables) I don't have a way to see wich row was deleted.
My way of doing this is to check for the number of rows on the current state of the sales order and check the same on the previous instance of the SO and see if a line was deleted. Then I would have to check row by row between instances what rows are there and what row is missing and store that info. I think this kind of approach will definitively kill the server.
I was wondering if some one can give me a hint about how to approach this problem. Does any body know how SAP works on this area?
I'm working with SAP2005A and SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Alejandro.-

Hola Alejandro,
Thanks for your answer, as I see it I'm doing exactly what you proposed but the problem comes with the following scenarios:
a.- If I post a new SO with two lines I will have on the ADO1 table two records with the values 0 and 1 for each line respectively but if I delete the item on LineNum = 1 and then I add a new item, this last item will be also created with LineNum value = 1. This is not a complicated thing to do but the problem comes when the user is used to work with SOs with several items at detail level and is used to add and erase lines once in a while and as I see it it's very difficult for me to track those specific changes. There's also the fact that on the Log table a new instance is created every time the user hits the update button regardless if a modification was actually made or not. I mean I would know that a line was deleted or added but I would have to start comparing each field on each line of a sales order with it's previous instance to check what was actually added/deleted and I'm afraid that this may affect the server performance. I know that SAP does this without affecting to much the system resources and that is what I'm trying to find.
I forgot the other scenario I was considering he he I will post again as soon as I remember it but I hope I'm explaining this ok (I'm not very good at explaining...) If not let me know and I'll try to explain again.
I'm also working on trying to get another approach to see what comes up...
Thanks for checking this thread, your answers are helpful.
Regards.

HOW TO USE FUNCTION Deletion of Requests from the Change Log IN PRCSES CHAN

Respected all
i used Deletion of Requests from PSA from the prcess chain and found good results, now i have only one request at the psa and thus i am doing good space utililisation. but when i am using Deletion of Requests from the Change Log i am not getting any changes in the request of dso. kindly let me know how to use this 2nd function.
thanks
abhay

Hi Mahodaya,
As per SAp standards its good to delete the requestes that are no longer needed for the delta update and no longer used ffor inti from the change log table and the data is loaded already in to DSO.
Goto RSPC
Click on create New PC -> enter the PC name n long descp
Next we need to define the start process for the PC.Maintain the start variant process.save n come back.
for deletion of change log we have option in the Other BW Processes -> deletion of requestes from change log
Once u select the option we get a dialoge box here we need to create the variant for the process enter the process variant n long descp. cick ok.
Next in the maintenance screen for the deleting the request from change log table will appear.
Enter the selection patterns to which the requestes should be deleted from the change log.
In the maintenance screen, select one or more Data Store objects for which requests are to be deleted from the relevant change log tables under Data Store Object column and select theInfo Area of the corresponding Data Store Objects under Info Area
If you select the first check box exclude selction pattern, this means that del of requests from change log table will be ignored.
or
We can delete the requests which are Older than N-number of days (or) date in the above screen. For this one, enter the number of days (or) date in the filed Older than .
OR
If we want to select the requests with a certain status then we can also do in the above screen. We can select the following status indicators from the above screen.
Delete Successfully Updated Requests Only -This status will delete only requests which
are successfully updated into corresponding Data Store objects.
Delete Incorrect Requests that were not Updated - This status will delete only incorrect requests which are not successfully updated into the corresponding Data Store Objects.
Delete Activation Requests only, No Load requests- This status will delete only the activation requests (requests that begin with ODSR_... ). No load requests are deleted.
