Characteristic as InfoProvider and Key in ODS?

Hi,
Can I use a Characteristic as both InfoProvider and as KeyField in ODS?
If I have to use it as InfoProvider I need to turn on "Character is InfoProvider" in Master Data/Texts tabstrip.
So will setting this option to effect my using of same characteristic as keyfield in an ods?
Thanks,
Pradeep

The only thing the InfoObject as InfoProvider does is make the master data a reportable target. You can then build queries to report on the master data, and build Infosets between the ODS and the master data InfoProvider to be able to do some of the slow moving item reporting.

How to create a document on a characteristic and key figure combination?

Hello,
I will need to create for my customer a document on a characteristic and key figure combination. I don't know yet which BW objects will be concerned, but I'm trying to understand how it works.
1) I call the document screen in RSA1.
2) I select InfoProvider data.
3) I click on Create, enter a name and a description and go to the next register (Log.DOc.Properties).
Question: What do I need to select here?
According to SAP Help, the following has to be maintained:
InfoProvider: How can I get my cube diplayed in the list?
Query: Same question. But is it necessary to select a query?
Key Figure: OK
All characteristics for which the Characteristic is Document Property indicator is set: OK
Hide Name: OK
Thanks in advance for you help, Nathalie

How to create a new Characteristic and Key figure ?

Hi !
I am newly trying to learn APO DP and Could anyone please explain how to create a new Characteristic and Key figure in Demand Planning Administrator workbench[ RSA1] with steps?

Hi,
Instead of RSA1, use RSD1 to create Characteristics & Key figure.
1. Go to transaction, select radio button for respective info object i mean Char ot key fig.
2. Enter name of the same & click on create transaction.
3. Suppose it will ask for APO or BW then select APO for key fig. so some new functionality come in to key fig. like key fig. fixing etc.
4. always copy new key fig. or characteristics from standard.
5. after creation activate the key figure.
Hope this steps will help you to create Char. & key fig.

How to add the required characterists and key figures to drill down report?

hi,
i am creating a drill down report using t.code FKI4. however i noticed that some of the characteristics and key figures required by me is not listed in the report catalog. how can i add the required characteristis and key figures to the report catalog?

Hi Inna,
Based on my research, a drilldown report is a layout design that at first hides complexity and enables the user to toggle conditionally hidden report items to control how much detail data they want to see. Drilldown reports are used to change the report
layout interactively. So it wouldn’t affect the rows displayed in the outmost group. Though some rows are hidden when the report is initially run, it will still count them. This is by design.
Furthermore, if I understand correctly, you also expect the outmost group is a dynamic group depends on the drilldown action, right? As per my understanding, this function still cannot be achieved at this moment.
Thanks for your understanding.

Data fields and key fields

Hi,
Data fields and key fields are same as Characteristcs and key figures? Or they are diffrerent?
Thanks,
Radha

HI
Key Fields = Acts as Primary Key for The ODS like Primary of Tables in R3.
Data fields = Apart from Key fields We consider rest as data fields.
Ususally we use Characteristic info Objects and Dates in Key Fields and Key figures in Data fields.
It's decisive factor for overwriting property of ODS or DOS.
Hope this helps.

Virtual Infoprovider AND No Marker Update

Hi BW Experts,
I am unable to get an idea when i am reading the following concepts.
1. NO MARKER UPDATE
2. HOW TO CREATE VIRTUAL INFOPROVIDER
Can anyone tell me with example.
I have read forums but i could not get the correct information.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anjali

hi anjali i am giving data on wat u asked.pls tell me where u have problem.so that i can clarify you more
InfoProvider
Use
InfoProviders that contain real-time InfoCubes provide the data basis for BI Integrated Planning. Aggregation levels are a type of virtual InfoProvider and are created on the basis of a real-time InfoCube, or a MultiProvider that contains InfoCubes of this type. Aggregation levels are specifically designed so that you can plan data manually or change it using planning functions.
For more information about the types of InfoProvider, see:
●     Real-Time InfoCubes
●     MultiProvider
Integration
In the Modeling functional area of the Data Warehousing Workbench, you create InfoProviders as the data basis for BI Integrated Planning.
For more information, see InfoProviders, Creating InfoCubes, and Creating MultiProviders.
In the Planning Modeler, you select the InfoProvider that you want to use as the data basis for BI Integrated Planning. On the Aggregation Levels tab page, you create one or more aggregation levels for this InfoProvider.
For more information, see Aggregation Levels.
Prerequisites
You have created a suitable InfoProvider as the data basis for BI Integrated Planning and filled it with data.
Features
InfoProvider Selection
You can restrict the number of InfoProviders displayed by specifying the technical name or description or by making an entry for last changed by.
You can change, check and save the selected InfoProviders.
InfoObjects
On the InfoObjects tab page, the system displays the InfoObjects that belong to the InfoProvider (see InfoObject). They are listed in the following tables:
●     Dimensions, with the characteristics assigned to them
●     Navigation Attributesfor the characteristics contained in the InfoProvider
●     Key figures
Under Settings, you can choose to display additional columns.
Characteristic Relationships and Data Slices
In change mode you can define the permitted combinations of characteristic values in the form of characteristic relationships and create data slices for the data that you want to protect for real-time-enabled InfoCubes.
For more information, see Characteristic Relationships and Data Slices.
Default Key Date for Planning
On the Settings tab page in change mode, you can set a Key Date as the default key date for planning. If time-dependent objects, such as attributes or hierarchies, are used in objects of the planning model, you can always refer to the default key date for planning. In this way, you can ensure that a uniform key date is used in the planning model. The objects in the planning model that are relevant for this are characteristic relationships, data slices and parameters of planning functions.
if we choose NO MARKER UPDATE option when compressing non cummulative cube the reference point is not updated but the requests are moved to Request 0
reward me if u felt theses are helpfull to u.
and if not reply me where u are not getting.
thanks

InfoSet in SAP BI 7.10 and Key figure aggregation

HI SAP Gurus,
I am new in SAP BI area. I have my first problem.
I want to create a report for the profit of goods.
The cost of goods(cogs) are constant for each material for one month.
The formula to calculate the profit of goods = sales turn over u2013 cogs of month *sales amount.
I have defined in BW time dependent infoObejct with attribute cogs.
I have 2 info Sources. InfoCube for transactional sales data from R/3 and material cogs master data loaded from csv file each month to infoObject.
The info Provider for report is InfoSet (transactional Cube and cogs infoObject) .
My problems are
1) When I create an InfoSet, SAP BW create automatically new technical name for all characteristics and key figures and the first technical name should be alias fr each InfoCube and InfoObject in the InfoSet.
2) The new technical name infoSet erased my aggregation references characteristic (=calmonth)
3) In the report the key figure cogs was aggregated for each customer sales and customers, that means the value of cogs is not constant, when it is aggregated according to customer sales order.
Thanks a lot for your support
Solomon Kassaye
Munich Germany

Solomon find some code below for the start routine, change the fields and edit code to suit your exact structure and requirements but the logic is all there.
4) Create a Start Routine on the transformation from sales DSO to Profit of Goods InfoCube.
Use a lookup from the the COG DSO to populate the monthly COG field in the COG DSO.
**Global Declaration
TYPES: BEGIN OF I_S_COG,
/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER,
/BIC/GOODS_NAME TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/GOODS_NAME,
/BIC/COG TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/COG,
/BIC/PERIOD TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/PERIOD,
END OF I_S_COG.
DATA: I_T_COG type standard table of I_S_COG,
wa_COG like line of i_t_COG.
*Local Declaration
data: temp type _ty_t_SC_1.
*move SOURCE_PACKAGE[] to temp[].
temp[] = SOURCE_PACKAGE.
select /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER /BIC/GOODS_NAME /BIC/COG /BIC/PERIOD from
/BIC/A<DSO Table name>
into corresponding fields of table i_t_COG for all entries in
temp where /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER = temp-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER.
sort i_t_COG by /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER.
loop at SOURCE_PACKAGE assigning <source_fields>.
move-corresponding <source_fields> to wa.
loop at i_t_COG into wa_COG where /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER =
<source_fields>-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER and /BIC/PERIOD =
<source_fields>-/BIC/PERIOD.
modify SOURCE_PACKAGE from wa transporting /bic/COG.
endloop.
endloop.
5) Create an End Routine which calculates Profit using the formula and updates the result set with the value in the Profit column.
Given your requirement for the profit calculation
profit of goods = sales turn over u2013 cogs of month * sales amount
Write a simple end routine yourself
*Local Declaration
loop at RESULT_PACKAGE.
<result_fields>-profit = <result_fields>-sales turn over - <result_fields>-COG * <result_fields>-sales amount.
modify RESULT_PACKAGE from <result_fields> transporting profit.
endloop.
As the above start and end routines are used to enhance your sales DSO, your fields for customer number and the sales order should already be in your DSO for drilldown.
Let me know how you get on.

Error in getting both Text and Key of infoobject

Hello Guys,
I am working on BI 7.0 & BO XI 3.1, SP 3 and FP 3.6.
I have a requirement where in I have Infoobjects in BW like Internal Sales
Rep, External Sales Rep, External Manager in BW. I have infocube where I
have all these reps & keyfigures. I create BEx Query from the infocube and
was able to see Key and Text in BEx Query & RSRT but I can't see that Key
value in Webi report.
Note: I don't have Masterdata configured for Internal Sales Rep, External
Sales Rep, External Manager. These data comes directly from data source to
BW infocube. All the reps are referenced to 0PERSON infoobject in BI 7.0
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Chintan Vora.

Hi Geetha,
yes, it is possilble that, you can disply label for both key and text for a characteristics in Bex query, but for this you have to do small modification in modelling, here is one example:
Create one custom 'z' InfoObject lets say ZCUSTOMER with Reference Characteristic of 0CUSTOMER and add it to the data target, map it with same field for which 0CUSTOMER is mapped and load data into target (DSO, cube) or if you are reporting on multiprovider then assign it.
Because ZCUSTOMER is created with reference of 0CUSTOMER and mapped with the same source field , ZCUSTOMER will act as copy of 0CUSTOMER.
In query designer drag 0CUSTOMER and ZCUSTOMER. change display setting
0CUSTOMER display as Key only
ZCUSTOMER display as Text only.
You can apply this for all master characteristics.
Hope this will resolve your problem, because i have faced same requirement and implemented the same.
let me know for any further clarification.
Regards
Avinash

Display key in the selection screen and Key & Text in the report

Hi,
For the infoobject in the query,
In the variable selection screen When i want to select any value it should display only key, and in the report i want to display key and text of that infoobject.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Rani

Hi
Display As
Here you determine whether and in what format the individual characteristic values of the characteristic are presented:
·        (Standard): The standard display type for characteristic values corresponds to the setting in InfoObject maintenance under Tab Page: Business Explorer.
·        No Display: The characteristic display is hidden. This function is useful, for example, with the currency/unit characteristic as the currencies are also shown in the key figures.
·        Key and Text: The characteristic values are displayed by their technical key and text.
·        Text: The characteristic values are displayed by their text.
·        Key: The characteristic values are displayed by their technical key.
·        Text and Key: The characteristic values are displayed by their text and technical key.
In the dropdown box below, you can select the type of text you want to use if you set a display type that contains text. The following options are available:
·        Standard: The shortest available text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
·        Short text: The short text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
·        Long text: The long text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
·        Medium text: The medium text for the characteristic values is used as the text.

Why do we use insert characteristic as infoprovider

Hi all,
under which circumstances we use insert characteristic as infoprovider.Does it relate to master data + transactionl data reporting in some way.Please help with an example
Regards,
SS

Hi Sushant ,
We mainly use infoobject as infoprovider for following reasons :
1) When you want to do reporting on master data .
2) When you want your infobject to act as a datatartget . So in this you will need to build transformation and everything .
Hope the above reply was helpful.
Thanks & Regards,

Characteristic as infoprovider

Hi all,
In Bi7.0,I hava a infoarea and select 'insert characteristic as infoprovider',the characteristic is
successfully into infoarea tree.But in query designer i counldn't see it.
There may be a problem?
Thanks.

James,
Check infoarea assigned properly to infoobject or not...? RSD1 --> Object --> Display --> Master data/Texts Tab --> Info Area. Infoarea should display here.
At query level, to display new objects, need to create a query and choose available targets.

Query regarding characteristics and key figures

Hi All,
Can anybody pls tell me in what scenarios a key figure can be used as a attribute of a characteristic?
what are the scenarios in which each type of DSO can be use?

Hi,
Can anybody pls tell me in what scenarios a key figure can be used as a attribute of a characteristic?
if your key figure in trasnctional data level it's give you the Fact.
If you use your key figure in your master data lvel it's give you the present truth.
Like this you have 0Material and Material price has the attribute of 0Material.
read below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/dd/f470375fbf307ee10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
what are the scenarios in which each type of DSO can be use?
We have 3 DSO in BI 7.
1. Standard DSO : it's contaions 3 tables (New,Active,Change log tables) : If you want overwrite funcationality go for this dso
2. Direct Update DSO : It's Contaion only Active Table : If you want write some data using with APD and BAPI go for this dso.
3. Write Optimized DSO : It's Contaion only Active Table : If you want load mass uploads and stageing purpose we use this dso.
Hope it helps you.

I have lost Lightroom 5.6 due to a hard drive crash. The old hard drive has been replaced. How can I get LR5 back? I don't have a disc. I still have my LR4 disc and key. I have another adobe key, but don't know if it relates to LR5.

I have lost Lightroom 5 due to a crashed hard drive. I don't have a back up disc, and I dont think I have a key. I have a an adobe key recorded but don't know if it relates to LR5. I have an LR4 disc and key. LR5 is still intact and running on my laptop, but I need to use LR% on my desktop PC. I need an address to try a download so that I can try the key which might fit it. Any ideas how I can transfer the program (with key) from my laptop? Any other ideas?
