Creating Info Objects

Hi,
I have some datasources and each datasource has 100's of infoobjects.
I wan create in mass but the tcode ctbw_metadata does not work for BI.7 datasources i guess.
i also thought of using excel with abap program but for that i again have do manual work of copying objects from datasources and properties in single coloum format in excel.
Is there no way i can create all objects of particular datasource directly in BI7?
Please help.
Regards
Syed

Hi Syed,
The t-code CTBW_META in BW is speciific for Classification datasources.
You cant use it to create IOBs for any other datasource...
I guess there is an article which deals with creation of multiple Info objects by creating custom transaction. not sure how helpful it can be for you since you need 100 IOB's per data source.
Any way, here is the link -

Hope it helps.

Error while creating info object

error while creating info object a character
Info object may be a maximum of 000060 digits...... what would be the error?
Thanks ALL

Hi,
The maximum length supported by one CHAR type infoobject is 60. Check whether you have assigned more.
If you have to load more length ( more than 60) split the total thing into different infoobjects. Create different infoobjects and split the total thing into them - like 1st 60 char in 1st infoobject, char 61-120 in 2nd infoobject and so on. Then you can again concatenate them.

Create Info objects after extracting ds from ecc

Hi All,
I have replicated ds from ecc to bi and executed the infopackage. Now the data is upto psa level. How to create info objects after loading data to psa level to load the info objects to data targets like infocubes and dso. I have done to sucessfully to a flat file.
Thank you.

Hi Sudhir,
You can go into 2 directions: use as much as possible Business Content InfoObjects or use custom InfoObjects. A combination is also possible.
Especially in conjunction with SAP ECC extractions the Business Content InfoObjects are a safe choice. However, please consider the advantages it can have to use custom InfoObjects.
If you would like to go into the direction of custom InfoObjects, then I suggest reading the following blogs:
Generating Data Warehouse InfoObjects - Part 1: Introduction;
Generating Reporting InfoObjects based on Business Content - Part 1: Introduction.

Tables While Creating Info Object

Hi Experts,
What are the tables created when we create and activate an Info Object. I Came to know that it will create 11 tables when we activate an Info Object what are they It was my Intv Question. are these 11 tables created automatically or with the user specifications?
Elaborated Answer will be awarded with points.
Krish

Hi
         The number of tables depends on the charecteristics of the infoobject selected. if it has time dependent attributes or hierarchy
suppose an infoobject is product then we could have the following tables
     Product hierarchy table: /BIC/HProduct
      Product hierarchy SID table: /BIC/KProduct
      Product SID-structure hierarchy table: /BIC/IProduct
     Product master table for non-time dependent attributes (table name: /BIC/PProduct)
     Product master table for time dependent attributes (table name: /BIC/QProduct)
     Product SID table (table name: /BIC/SProduct)
     Product non-time dependent attribute SID table (table name: /BIC/XProduct)
     Product time dependent attribute SID table (table name: /BIC/YProduct)
Thanks

Know the created info objects which are used in which info providers.

Hi Experts,
How can we know the zinfo objects which are used in which info providers.

Hi,
Either you can check the where used list of Infoobject as suggested by Gaurav, or you can goto transaction SE16 and put the table name as RSDCUBEIOBJ and put the Infoobject name.
You will get the list of all Infoproviders in which the infoobject is used.

HI,
for creating a Infoobject go through the following link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/80/1a63b3e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/80/1a63b3e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
for your second doubt, the all fields you have mentioned here is Char and DAT data types. So all will be in Character field catelog.
Since mostly keyfigures will have the following data types only.
Amount, Number, Date, Quantity, Integer, Time.
You can use DAT fields as keyfigures but you have to decide that.

Issue in info object creation

Hi All,
While creating info object under info object catalog (for characteristics only but i can able to create for key figure with out any issue)i am getting below error
InfoObject 0LANGU does not exist in version A
Message no. R7245
Pls update me how to solve this issue.
Regards
Ramesh

Dear Ramesh
I think you are getting the issue with Language conversion.
In case you are creating info object for characteristics , always use the SAP standard info object as reference. This will help to avoid this issue. Is it possible to share which reference SAP standard Info object which you are using. ??
Thanks

How to increase the length of the Info object

Hi All
Any one have idea about how to increse the length of the Info object Char(beyond 60). Can you please explain me in detail we are using BI7.0.
Thanks
Vani

Hello Vani,
You cannot increase the length of an info-object beyond 60 chars.However if you want to store a characteristics data with more than length 60, then you may create separate info-objects
for example: if you need to store 'notes' which might have length more than 60,
then you may create info-objects like notes 1/3 ---store first 60 chars.
notes 2/3 --- store next 60 characters and so on.
Thanx
Priyanka

How to reduce the length of the info object that's being used?

Hi All,
I have created info objects and used them in a DSO. Now I want to reduce the length of the info objects but i'm unable to do it. When I reduced the length and tried activating the Info object, it's giving me error and the info object is not getting activated. Please guide me how I can reduce the length and activate the Info Object.
Thanks
Hima Bindu

Reducing the length of an infoobject is not that easy
Cleanest way -
Drop all transaction data for that infoobject
Drop all data in the DSO and cubes.
Reduce the length and then activate and transport all the infoobject and there dependence objects.

Authorization with standard info objects

Hi Guys,
I want a small clarification.
Is it true that Authorization cannot be done for the Standard Infobject, we need to create reference objecs to the standard objects, and the master data of the standard object would be passed to the reference object
When i went to the standard object, this option is actually available for them too.
Thanks..
Regards,
Charu

Making Authorization relevant to the Standard Info-objects are not recommendable.
Make these standard info-objects as references and create info-objects with Z or Y.
you could see the bussiness explorer tab in the info object properties. There is one option called Authorization relevant.
you should enable the authorization relevant tab. Once it done then it will reflect while creating authorization object.
Hope this would help you in understanding.

Info Object Master Data (0DATETO &0DATEFROM)

Hi,
I created Info Objects with attributes and loaded master data
When i do
Bi Contect Info Object-->Context menu (Maintain master data) -->which show me info object id ,attributes , 0DATETO and 0DATEFROM
when i checked definiation of info object i can't find the attributes 0DATETO & 0DATEFROM
When i do the same for my Z info object i didn't get 0DATETO
0DATEFROM
Please advise

In the InfoObject Manteinance, under attributes, you have the infoobjects that are attributes of a characteristic
The fifth column, has a flag, which determines if that attribute is time dependent or not.
A time dependen attribute is when for a certain characteristic, such as Customer, you put an attribute, as Customer Classification, and from 1.1.2006 to 1.5.2006 you can say that is Classification A, and then from 2.5.2006 to 31.12.9999 (or until you change it) is Classification B.
Hope it helps..
