Creating a MultiProvider on two DSOs

Hi,
I am considering some options for a specific reporting requirement - which is looking at Sales trends across years by calendar month.
I have the data that I require within an DSO, but it contains a single time characteristic of Fiscal Year/Period - where as the report would be better serviced by separate characteristics for Fiscal Year and FIscal Period. Then I can Fiscal Year reported in rows, and period in columns - without having to go down the path of defining two structures and using the cell editor.
So the obvious options are:
1. Add Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period characteristics to my Sales DSO and reload data. I would however prefere not to do this as there is a large volume of data involved.
2. Create new Sales Cube (that includes the additional time characteristics) that extracts from the Sales DSO and assign adds the appropriate time characteristics within the update rules. This is probably better but it does add considerable overhead in terms of managing another process chain for extraction that is only required for a single report.
I was wondering whether a third option was viable.
3. Could I create an DSO that maps Fiscal Year/Period to Fiscal Year and Period. Then create a Multicube over of the Fiscal Year/Period DSO + Sales DSO to deliver all Sales Data with Fiscal Year and Period characteristics.
I don't expect performance would be brilliant - but aside from that, are there any other serious downsides? Or is Option 3 sheer lunacy? Interested to hear your thoughts....
Many thanks
Adrian

Just realised that this won't work - Because if I filter on Fiscal Year, the value needs to be in both DSOs to report a value.
So perhaps my best option is to create an InfoSet rather than Multicube - to join the Fiscal Year/Period DSO and Sales DSO.
Again would this be make sense?

Adrian

MultiProvider with two real-time InfoCubes?

Hi,
I created a multiprovider with two real-time Infocubes. I need to create a formula in FOX editor where I have to update only one InfoCube. Is it possible? If so, I am looking for syntax with InfoCube name in the formula. The KeyFigures have the same names in both InfoCubes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Vidya

Hi Pratyush,
I am using IP. I created Aggregation Level, Filter, etc. It created a characteristic "0INFOPROV" and I used that cha. to read data and to write the data. It did not work.
Here is the problem.
- We have one basic cube (history data: HCUBE) and two transactional cubes (actual data: ACUBE and plan data: PCUBE)
- Created a multiprovider (MULTI) for HCUBE, ACUBE, PCUBE
- Also created Agg level and filter
- Note: Three cubes have the same Key Figure (0Amount)
- Created a planning function and tried something like {KF, PCUBE} = {KF, MULTI} (as suggested by Andrey)
- Task is to read data from HCUBE and ACUBE and only write to PCUBE.
- I am able to read data but unable to write data.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Vidya

Query created on Multiprovider

Hi frnds,
I created a multiprovider on two cubes and created a query in query designer on this multiprovider and executed the report.
In the query output, the values from two cubes are displayed in two different lines.
Suppose take a field, 0material.For this field, the values coming from one cube are displayed in one line and the values of this material coming from 2nd cube are displayed in next line. And that too if the 2nd cube doesnot have any value for this field 0material, it is displayig as '#' ( Not Assigned ).
My requirement is:
-->How to combine the records coming as 2 different records from 2 infocubes into a single record.
-->If a field value is not coming then it should be left blank. It should not display '#'.
Full points will be assigned.

Hi all
I am also facing the same problem .
i'm merging Data from FI using Acc doc no & MM using PO. the 1:1 relationship between both is already thr.
but still i am getting two records
CC    CO    PC      Amt      INV
30      #      400     1000
30     300      #                 1000
but i want to see this one line as both refer to the same transcation
30     300     400     1000     1000
i tried using a infoset with inner join - here it is not picking many records
infoset with outer join - here the output is same as above.
can someone suggest a better way to do this ?
thanks

Doubts while creating a Multiprovider

Hi experts,
I have a purchasing cube. Our requirement is to add some more fields in this cube.
But i found those extra fields in all the three of my GL cube AR cube AP Cube.
So i want to make a multiprovider between purchasing cube and from one of these three cubes.
My question is , related to purchase for making multiprovider which cube i need to take i.e. ( AR cube or AP cube or GL cube ).
And also suppose in multiprovider if i am using two cubes, as per my knowledge atleast one field should be common to make a multiprovider.
Suppose if we have accounting doc no ( 0ac_doc_no ) in both the cubes.In assignment of chars we will tick for 0acc_doc_no in both the cubes.
If we have 0clr_doc_no in both the cubes and if we want 0clr_doc_no also in the multiprovider then in assignments of characteristics do we need to tick for this in both the cubes ?
If we tick only in one cube will it bring the data from only one cube ?
And also if we tick in both the cubes then will the multiprovider brings the data from both the cubes ?
Please explain me in simple words. I went through so many links but i am not clear.
Full points will be assigned.
Regards,
V N.

Hi,
Since you are concerned with the purchasing cube i say you shaould use (AP and AR) (i.e. account receival and account payable) as both these tables are mutually related , As GL could be a stand alone too.
So in case you just want to add an extra field GL will do but going with the real essence of purchase AR and AP are more suited once.
Now for creating a multiprovider its a mandate to mark the common field in all the info providers involved since then only the join condition between the master data tables of the providers work out.
There won't be any duplication in data since all the entries with same field id i.e.0ac_doc_no in your case are merged together to give a unique entry in a ovveride cube.So an account receval entry in AR table and account payable entry in AP will be merged to from a unique value for they act as "Contra entries"
Def : Contra entry : some transactions are recorded in three column cash book
which relates to both cash & bank i.e. balance of one will
decrease and other will increase due to such transactions.
such transactions are entered on both sides of the cash
book . such entries are known as Contra Entry.Hope this will serve your cause to end.
hope it will be expedite
Thax & Regards

Can you join two DSO's?

We have tried joining two DSO's and are getting the warning that "more than one datasource has been used in this report". It appears that the DSO driver does not support joins. The report runs but it is VERY slow, the same sort of performance you get when you try to join data from two datasources that are actually different (like two different SQL Server databases or an Oracle table joined to a SQL Server table). It appears that this is not a supported function with the DSO driver. Any thoughts?

Yes, we have created the joins between the two DSOs. We are looking into using the Open SQL driver to go against the base tables to see if that will work. This is how the original ODS driver used to work.
Update: After changing the join type to a left outer join the performance improved signficantly. Although not ideal it looks like it will be fine for our requirements. This particular report will be run monthly and scheduled to run overnight.

Comparasions of records between two dsos using abap program

Hello Experts,
                       As per my business requirements we Implemented 30 DSO (EDW Layer) for x Reason with the reference from Y Reason DSOs. and for x reson dso we created transformations and dtp. through process chains we loaded the data to X Reason Dsos. after loading i want to comare these two dso records through ABAP Progrm.
here my source is : X Region Dsos
here Trget is        : Y Region Dsos
these two are the mandatory fields
and the optional fields are:
1. Sales org
2. Sales division
3. document creation date.
for this type of requirement i want to implement ABAP Program.i want to abap code for this type of requirement. anyone have abap code for similar type of requirement please send the abap code.
Thanks & Regards,

Can we add new cubes and ODS after creating the multiprovider?

Hi all,
i created a multiprovider on a cube and ODS. Now i needed one more charactersitic from other cube.then i did change multiprovider and then add that new cube and did the identification, and adjusted the query, when i ran the query it is showing chracteristic as # and not assigned. I even tried bringing in 0infoprovider object to see whether data is coming from third infoprovider, it is not showing up any data from third one. i tried logging out of bex and logging back in.....but still no use..............i am wondering now, once a multiprovider is created can new infoprovider be added to it ?
i am even able to see the new key figures and chracteristic in my query.but data is not getting populated...i also checked and found that the data is available in the infoproviders....
plz help me out..
points will be assigned for inputs

Hi Bhanu,
nice to see your answer, I saw a lot of helpful posts on SDN by you.
I did the RSRT with debug multiprovider, it said,
0FISCPER: General restriction for InfoProvider ZSD_C12 not possible
Access to ZSD_C12 was excluded
now i corrected it, it is populating the key figure now but not the chracteristic still.....the chracteristic is still getting value only from one of the info providers
importantly, when i bring infoprovider above the keyfigures space on query, it still only shows two info providers for each key figure and not the third one ,the key figure coming the third one is only shown in overall result. how can i solve this?
i tried rsr_gen_direct_all_queries as told by krian, but still cant get the data in the report. i did list cube on mulitiprovider and i see the data for that chracteristic there....
are there any other options in RSRT to find possible setting faults....
thanks in advance

Combine the data of two DSOs into one

Hello experts,
how to load the data of two DSOs into a single one using transformations and DTPs?
Example:
DSO A keyfields: X,Y,Z / attributes M,N,O
DSO B keyfields: X,Y,Z / attributes P,Q
DSO C keyfields: X,Y,Z / attributes M,N,O,P,Q (result should be a single data record!)
In the transformation between DSO A and C I map all keyfields and attributes M,N,O (no mapping for P and Q, meaning no transformation rule). For B to C mapping is all keyfields and attributes P, Q (no mapping for M,N,O, no transformation rule).
When I now load the data of DSO A and DSO B to DSO C I either see the attributes M,N,O or P,Q. This means that only the latest DTP is available and overwrites the attributes with blank values of the first DTP.
I have a solution using ABAP coding but according to the SAP Training courses (BW330) it should work without using ABAP coding.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Marco

Hi Marco,
Thanks again
I looked into BW330 Business information warehouse - Modelling.
Course version : 2006 Q2
Material number : 50079531
I looked into the page 281 still no luck.
just an overview i need to create X,Y,Z,M,N,O as info objects characteristics
and P, O as infoobjects keyfigure.
None of them will have attributes and i load XYZMNO to DSO1 and same XYZPO to DSO2.
Then map DSO1 - DSO3 and DSO2 - DSO3 and carry out the steps to get the data from DSO1 and DSO2 to DSO3.
Am i right.

How to create one delivery for two sales orders?

Hi Experts,
I need to create one delivery for two sales orders. But it fails.
The route, shipping point, ship to party are same for both orders but INCOTERMS are different.
Delivery date, Good issue date, loading date,material availability date, transportation planning date for 1st order is 12/07/11 and for second order is 14/07/11.
I have created delivery on 14/07/2011 but the delivery is created for 1st order only, the second order is missing in the delivery.
It not happened because of incorterms.? different dates
Kindly help regarding this.
Thanks
Raghu

Hi
To understand splitting behavior, see SAP Note 546668 - FAQ: Delivery split when creating deliveries. And yes, incoterms happens.
I think that with the help of question 6 you can try to force the merging of SO. Then, see SAP Note 166397 - Delivery split according to customer field ZUKRL, and handling the field ZUKRL in a VOFM in the copy rule I think that you can try to do it.
Finally See Note 4505 - Duprec when adding delivery (VL04, VL01, VL10*) to avoid problems while you are merging.

Creating a view on two ODS using the most actual value of Timestamp

Hi All,
I am creating a view on two ODS. I have made an internal join of the field timestamp from both the tables. But the timestamp in bot ODS do not match, which is why there is no data visible in the view.
There is a requirement that the value of timestamp to be used has to be the most actual value of timestamp from the two ODS.
I would be grateful if some pointers regarding the same could be provided.
Thanks and regards,
Shruti Kulkarni

Hi Shruti,
ODS should not be linked on Timestamp basis, there must be some other alternatives like document number, date etc etc...
In other case if its possible to include addtional key figure in to ODS then
create a dummy key figure , in the aggregation tab page Select Exception aggregate as "Last Value" and in the "agg.ref char" Select time stamp as info object. This setting will make sure that in the ODS you have only last updated data.
Hope that helps.

Error while creating the Multiprovider

Hi all,
I am creating a Multiprovider by using 3 cubes. while i am activating the multiprovider its throwing Error as "Assignments for InfoObject "xyz" have not yet been maintained -> Long text"
for all the infoobjects which r present in the multiprovider
plz throw some light on it.
Thanx in advanace

HI,
Did you selected that infoobject under identify charactristic or select keyfigure in the multiprovider?
If not select the check for that InfoObject depend on charactristic or keyfigure and then try to activate.

WHERE clause creating a join for two or more tables

The CS3 Dreamweaver book says that the WHERE clause can
create a join for two or more tables. The join was created, but the
data is repeating. I have searched the web and this forum and have
not found the answer.
My Master page filters the recordset by Style No and when a
customer clicks on a particular style, it sends him to the Detail
page. All the records are showing from all tables on the detail
page from the Dynamic List, except they are showing multiple times
(ex. Size table has 4 sizes and Color table has 2 colors - my Size
Drop Down list is showing 8 options and my Color Drop Down List is
showing 8 options) I have a Master Page with a recordset pointing
to a Detail Page using the same recordset.
Master page works perfectly.
Master Recordset SQL:
SELECT products.itemID, products.category, products.styleno,
products.name, products.description, products.ourprice,
products.imageTH, products.image, coloroption.color,
sizeoption.size
FROM products, coloroption, sizeoption
WHERE category = 'chefcoats' AND
products.styleno=sizeoption.styleno AND
products.styleno=coloroption.styleno
GROUP BY products.styleno
ORDER BY styleno ASC
The Detail Recordset:
SELECT products.itemID, products.category, products.styleno,
products.name, products.description, products.ourprice,
products.imageTH, products.image, sizeoption.size,
coloroption.color
FROM products, sizeoption, coloroption
WHERE itemID=colname AND products.styleno=sizeoption.styleno
AND products.styleno=coloroption.styleno
I tried using the GROUP BY on the detail page, but then it
only showed one size and color from the dynamic drop down list. I
tried changing the field name "styleno" in the other tables to be
unique, however, I was using the table identifer. I tried using the
JOIN command instead of the WHERE clause and that didn't help
either.
On the detail page, the customer is supposed to click on the
Size box and see sizes XSM - 6XL ONLY ONE TIME. and then be able to
click on the Color option and see White, Black, Red ONE TIME.
Is this possible?
Thank you for giving your time to read this.!

Can i use Two DSO 's in Function module

hi experts,
Can i use Two DSO 's in Function module .That FM is used for Layout
I actually want to fill one DSO Refering the Data in Another DSO.
Regard
Naresh.

In the first way the DSO's are usually called shared libraries or DSO libraries and named libfoo.so or libfoo.so.1.2. They reside in a system directory (usually /usr/lib) and the link to the executable program is established at build-time by specifying -lfoo to the linker command. In the second way the DSO's are usually called shared objects or DSO files and can be named with an arbitrary extension

Creating Source systems in two same logical BW systems from single R/3 sys

Hi All,
We are facing an issue while creating Source systems in two same logical BW systems, from single R/3 systems. Our Basis team is telling that if we want to connect the single R/3 system into 2 BW systems with same logical name, we will need to delete the source systems from one BW systems and create in another system. Also they told by doing so it will delete all the transfer rules and PSA table existing in the current BW system, which has the source system connectivity with the R3 system now.
Is this anyway to create the same source systems in two same logical BW systems, from single R/3 systems without deleting the transfer rules?. Also please help us to get anu OSS note or document explaining this in details.
Regards.
Muruganand.K

Hi Muruganand,
I dont think it is possible as connecting one R/3 Source System to two BW Systems.
If you could get the possible solution, please do reply to the post.
