Creating a Composite Provider in SAP BW 7.3 on HANA

Hi All,
We are currently on SAP BW 7.31 SP8 on HANA and would like to ask if you guys can provide some guides on how to create a simple Composite Provider in our current BW version.
I tried creating the object through RSLIMO / RSLIMOBW. But in the right panel of the screen which is supposed to show the list of available info providers is somehow disabled (see attached screenshot - error_CompositeInfo.jpg) and I couldn't choose any infoproviders to drag it to be used.
Any particular steps that needs to be carried out prior to this? Appreciate your help.
Thanks very much,
Jeffrey

Hi Prado,

Thanks Much,

Error while executing BEx Query on Composite Provider

Hi,
We have a BW on-HANA system, patch level SAPKW73105.
We have created a Composite provider based on the union of two DSOs, two infoobjects, one SPO, and there are a couple of joins with two other DSOs, on the top of that we built a BEx query.
While executing the BEx query, sometimes (depending on the filter values), We got the following error message
"Attribute engine failed;Error executing physical plan: exception 6900: AttributeEngine/Parallel/DimensionFilter.cpp engine failed; $function$=getValidFemsPA;"
"Error 6,900 has occurred in the BWA/SAP HANA server"
"Error reading the data of InfoProvider @3ZSDRPCP5"
"Error while reading data; navigation is possible"
"Row: 59 Inc: MAP_TREX_EXCEPTION Prog: CL_RSDRH_TREX_STORAGE"
(Attached error message)
Ii We browse the composite provider data using the "display data" option in the RSA1, data is displayed without issue, the problem only appears during the BEx query execution and only with some filter vaues.
Any idea on how to fix the issue.
Thanks,
Federico

He's on 7.3 EhP1, which is on SPS12 today. It got pretty stable by SP08, SP09. SP05 was pretty early on, and had a lot of bugs in the HANA views.
7.4 is on SP07 like you say, and most of our customers run at least SP06 - before then, you had to apply a bucketload of SAP notes. I would recommend customers apply SP08 with care because it's a feature release so will have a bunch of new features, which will no doubt need corrections.

Composite Provider with Time dependent master data

Hi ,
we have a infoset and due to some performance issues we are creating a composite provider to replace Info set and that Info set is having Time dependent master data objects and DSO.. But when I was creating composite provider I do not see two time dependent objects (Valid from and Valid to ) in composite provider. Composite provider does not have them/ is it a limitation? Appreciate if provide a input on this.. [We are in BW on HANA 7.4 with SP 7 environment]

Hi Manohar Karunakaram
I remember that there was the following limitation with Composite provider in terms of time dependent masterdata but it was a little old limitation.(some time in 2013)
If temporal joins are required where the result set is depending on time-dependent master data, InfoSets have to be used since CompositeProviders can't provide that functionality.
I am not sure whether it was solved in the latest release and dont remember an OSS where this was addressed.

A purchase order needs to be created, and the vendor is known
Business Process Description Overview
A purchase order is a legal document issued by the buyer to the vendor to supply materials or service at the agreed price, terms and conditions. The Purchase Order forms the basis for all follow-on activities like Goods Receipt, Invoice Verification, etc. The Purchase Orders can be created directly by entering all the required data, copying already created purchase order, with reference to an RFQ/Contract or with reference to a PR.
Purchase Order creation is possible only if sufficient budget allocation is there for the Fund Centers. It is not possible to create Purchase Orders for a Vendor who is blocked for procurement or not maintained in source list for that item. Also it is not possible to create PO for Quantity more than the PR quantity.
All the price components which are to be paid to vendors and requires to be inventoried has to be included in PO.It is possible to add different vendors for delivery costs. The tax codes should be correctly maintained in PO for the purpose of Cenvat availment etc.
The payment term defaulted from Vendor Master or RFQ has to be verified and changed if required.
The incomplete Purchase Orders can be saved as HOLD document and later completed and saved thru Change PO menu
Input - Required Fields     Field Value/Comments

How can we make consecutive left outer joins in Composite Provider?

Hi,
For the following design:
Sales order and Delivery DSO's are unions on field Delivery Number.
Invoice(Billing DSO) is having left outer join and joins with Sales Order DSO's based on the field Sales Order Number.
Shipment DSO has left outer join, joins with Invoice DSO based on Delivery number.
My doubt here in this composite provider design, is more than one consecutive left outer joins(in Invoice, shipment dso join) are allowed?
Since this is possible in SAP ERP through writing abap codes, I came across that this kind of modelling is not possible in BW on Hana through Composite provide kindly suggest how can we achieve this design in SAP BW On hana.
Regards,
Antony Jerald.

Hi,
Could anyone please help me on this?
Hope, you are able to understand my question. Please suggest.

Bex Query's(Composite Provider) Navigational Attribute Error

Hi All,
We have created a BEx query on top of a Composite Provider. In the Composite Provider, we have a few common Navigation Attributes in all Info Providers.
Whenever we tried to show a particular Navigational Attribute (G_TIC9030) in BEx query (RSRT), we will receive the error messages as below.
This problem doesn't occur if we created another test query on each Info Providers of Composite provider. All test queries are able to return result and are showing all the navigational attributes without any errors.
Any idea on how to fix this?
Regards,
Kang

As discussed Kang this looks like the problem described in OSS Note 2019244.
It's not unusual to find a few of these problems in testing.

BAdI definition BADI_SD_SALES_ITEM is only provided for SAP internal use

I tried to create an implementation for the BADI BADI_SD_SALES_ITEM . It gave the following error message .
<u><b>BAdI definition BADI_SD_SALES_ITEM is only provided for SAP internal use</b></u>
What does this message mean?
I want to use the method ITEM_CHECK in this BADI .is there a way to write a code in this method by creating an implementation for this BADI.

Hi
It means that BADI can be used only by SAP, i.e. it can be used only on the original SAP system, so not in a customer system as yours.
See the table SXS_ATTR, here you can find the attributes of the BADI, in particular you can see the flag FOR ONLY INTERNAL USE.
If this flag is active and the system isn't a SAP system, that error'll occur.

Diana

Hi Diana,
On 4.7 at least, it is not released for external use by customers.. There is a SAP note out there that says the same thing -- and tells you to use the standard exits (eg. MV45AFZZ)
Guess SAP created it in case they need to enhance the standard, and they don't want us to touch it yet.

Testing FPM package applicaitons provided by SAP

Hi,
I am trying to test the FPM application configurations provided by SAP. for example, applications in package APB_FPM_DEMO. But, whenever i test, they are giving dump saying 'URL <> call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available'. But, I am able to test self created applications.
Can someone guide me on how to test the SAP provided application configurations ?
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav.

Hi,
Use SICF transaction and activate the services of the FPM applications. It is not default 'service activated'

Can we import Composite provider, Hybrid provider, Virtual Porvider, Advance DSO, Transient Provider to HANA Studio?

Hi to all,
Can we import Composite Provider, Hybrid Provider, Virtual Provider, Advance DSO to HANA Studio.
If yes then How?
Note: we are already on BW on HANA
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Hi Pavneet,
As per SAP development strategy Hybrid, virtual and transient providers will be replaced by composite provider. New design are recommended in new composite provider.
Advance DSO and composite provider can designed and modified via BW modeling tools.
You need bw modeling tools 1.5 and above is recommended.
SAP Development Tools for Eclipse
In order order to use Advanced DSO you need BW 7.4 SP 9.
Thanks,
Shakthi Raj Natarajan.
