Creation of custom Infocubes, extractors and multiprovider

Hi all,
Can somebody give me the information regarding the creation of custom Infocubes, extractors, and multiproviders. It would ne great if you could give me some examples regarding the above in SD.
Thanks,
Sekhar

We will go for the creation of custom infocubes
when the existing business content doesnot suite your requirement.
when u r using the one existing business content extractor and u need the same requirement for another cube u can create your own extractor of the same type without changning the existing one.
we will use multiproviders for reporting purpose. suppose if u are having some 3 infocubes and u want to display the fields from the 3 cubes then go for the creation of multiprovider.

Difference between Customer Generated Extractors and Generic Extractors

Hi all,
Can anyone please tell me the difference between Customer Generated Extractors and Generic Extractors. I know that for all modules Generic extraction is possible by creating a datasource(RSO2) on top of a table, View or SAP Query in SE11. What are customer generated extractors like LIS, CO/PA and FI/SL.
What kind of extraction is used for FI/AR and FI/AP. To my understanding we have BW Content Extractors. Can anyone explain the extraction method and delta extraction for AR and AP.
Thanks,
Sabrina.

Hi,
Customer generated extractors are running on top of statistics data collection process in R/3. They extract data from statistical tables already available in R/3 and also use the mechanism already provided in R/3 to capture the delta.
For example, PO data goes to statistical table S012 (it is an LIS table) and you can build a generated extractor on top of it. The difference between such extractor and a generic one is the fact that these extractors (eg LIS) use the same mechanism of capturing delta that the statistics table was doing (for example data that goes into S012 is also captured by these generated extractors). Some system tables and structures are generated automatically to support this functionality, you do not have to develop anything for this.
Generic extractors on the other hand simply let you pull data from table/view/query etc. You have to develop code/functionality to support delta capturing for such extractors. If you built a generic extractor on top of S012 (it is a statistical table - LIS), you can pull its data to BW, but you do not have the delta capturing functionality in such case, you will have to code it yourself.
As a thumb rule, you go with the standard/generated extractors, and use generic extractors only if it is necessary to be so.
FI/AR and FI/AP extractors are part of business content (I think) and support delta functionality. To get detailed info on these, you can also look at help documentation -

Creation of a generic extractor and data source for the FAGLFLEXA table

Hi All,
Need to create a generic extractor and data source for the FAGLFLEXA table to support AR reporting. This table contains the necessary profit center information to perform LOB reporting against the AR data.
Please advice on how to do this.
Regards, Vishal

Hi Vishal,
Its seems a simple a work out.
1.Go to RSO2 & choose the relevant option ie. whether you want to create Transactional DS, Master Data DS or Text DS.
2. Name it accordingly & then create.
3. Give description to it & then give table name FAGLFLEXA.
4. Save it & activate. If you need it to be delta enabled then click over Delta & you can choose accordingly.
If you still face some problem then do mail me at [email protected]

Remote Extractor and Real Time Infocube for SEM BCS

Hi Experts,
I have somes doubts about the integration between SEM and BW.
There is a cycle that have the next processes:
1.- begin in R/3 with the movements in FI, CO and/or general ledgers
2.- Activate the extractors standards for replicate/extract data to BW. For example, 0FI_GL_XXXX.
3.- Configure a method for take the information from BW to SEM.
4.- My doubt begin here... For take the information from SEM to the real time infocube, where I configure? What Have I for configure?
The real time infocube, What is the proposal? Where take the data? Here, Do the remote extractor begin to apply?
Thank you very much for your collaboration.
Regards,
Jeysi Ascanio

We're using 0FI_GL_20 to read directly from FAGLFLEXT into SEM-BCS via a BI remote cube. There are some basic transformations in BI to "populate" the remote cube, then a standard Load from Data Stream in BCS to do final mappings. In the BCS workbench, just create a source data basis off the remote cube.
This works at my current project due to fairly low ECC data volumes. If you are doing any complex mapping on the Company or Fiscal Year / Period infoobjects, you may need to create a inverse mapping routine in the remote cube to transfer selection criteria. If you see messages in the monitor following a data load such as "xx,xxx of xxx,xxx records ignored", that means that you are reading too much data from ECC and it is only getting filtered on the BCS side. We had this problem with a custom extractor and adding an inverse mapping routine cut the load from ~5min to 30sec. (Basically, the custom, template-delivered, extractor only had 0FISCPER, not 0FISCPER3 and 0FISCYEAR, so we would read all 17 K4 periods into BI, map them into BCS, then BCS would throw out the unneeded periods. Unfortunately, we did not have the option to change the extractor, so this was the best approach.).
If I had large data volumes, I would use a regular BI basic cube for staging (or possibly a multi-cube with a mix of basic and realtime, depending on the load requirements to BCS).
If you use 0FI_GL_20, I would strongly recommend you implement OSS Note 1245822, or be on SAP_APPL 603.0002 or later.
Hope that helps,
- Chris

Trying to look Contents for a new custom InfoCube and giving ERRORS ?????

Hi all,
I have created a custom InfoCube (ZTEST_PS) in similar to 0PS_C04. When I try to look the Contents of this InfoCube through Manage --> Contents or Listcube Tcode option, it is giving the following warnings/errors for every attempt:
1. Your user master record is not sufficiently maintained for object Company Code Hierarchy
Diagnosis
When checking your authorizations for object 'Company Code Hierarchy' (technical name: ZCOMPHIER) it was established that you do not have authorization in your user master record for this object (return code 12).
Procedure
How you continue depends on the return code. See the online documentation for ABAP language element "AUTHORITY-CHECK". Please note:
With a return code of 12, the object 'Company Code Hierarchy' has not been maintained in the user master, meaning there is no profile in the user master record in which this authorization object has been entered. This is, however, absolutely necessary, as all of the authorization objects created in the development class RSR are validated in the 'and' link. If the authorization is missing for only one object, the request is rejected as unauthorized.
Get the person responsible for your authorization to create you a profile containing authorization for object Company Code Hierarchy.
2. System error: RSDRC / FORM AUTHORITY_CHECK USER NOT AUTHORIZED ZTEST_PS ZTEST_PS
3. System error: RSDRC / FUNC RSDRC_BASIC_CUBE_DATA_GET ERROR IN RSDRC_BASIC_QUERY_DATA_GET ZTEST_PS 64
Message no. DBMAN100
4. System error: RSDRC / FORM DATA_GET ERROR IN RSDRC_BASIC_CUBE_DATA_GET ZTEST_PS 64
When I try to run a query against this custom InfoCube, I am getting the same First Warning.
How can I fix theses warnings/errors, PLEASE ?
Thanks.

Venkat,
You dont have authorizations for the 'Company Code Hierarchy'ZCOMPHIER , you dont have authorizations.
What you will have to do is ask the basis person to give you authorization for the Hierarchy , Or if you can ..switcg off authorization checks for the Cube in T-Code RSSM.

There is a customized InfoCube in BW 3.5, and I want it in BI 7.0.

There is a customized InfoCube in BW 3.5, and I want it in BI 7.0. Both are in different Server groups. How will I do it? Plz mention in clear steps.

They are completely different servers. Its nothing to do with upgradation.
Actual Scenario :
I want a customized InfoCube for CRM and BPS purpose. This InfoCube is created in BW 3.5.
Now, I want it for BPS, either directly from BW 3.5, or I want that InfoCube to be displayed in BI 7.0, so that I can ultimately use it in CRM and BPS. Plz give the solution in detailed steps.

Business content Extractors and customer generated extractors

Hi Gurus,
I have following doubts on Extractors can u please clarify the following
1) what is the difference betwwen Business content Extractors and customer generated extractors?
2)why FI-GL and COPA are called as customer generated extractors ?
3)what is the difference between FI and Fi-sl and why FI-SL comes under customer generated extractors Extractors why not FI ??

Nagarjun.

Hi,
You will go for Business Content extractor when the Customer requirement match with the content extractor delivered by SAP, other wise you will customize or create a Generic Extractor.

Problem in creation of Customer Master

Hi gurus,
I am facing problem in creation of customer master.
I have created a account group zz01 copying from 0001.which has internal no. assignement for the customer.
Now i am trying to create a customer master, at partner functions level under sales area data... the system is asking for the no. for each partner functions.. when i tried to manually enter, the system is not taking any number nor it is letting me save the data.
Please help me out in acertaining, what could be the issue.
regards
Gupta
[email protected]

its due to the number ranges that is specified in the partner determination ... chech what is the number range assigned in the parner determination ,,, so once u check that u have to manually enter the number between that range only .. this should solve ur problem...
path to check the number range is as below :
spro-img-logistic generalbusiness partner-customers---define account groups and field selection ---
at this point click position button at the bottom and give ur account group .. select ur account group and click detail button .. now inside that u can see the specified number range .. dafault is 08 ( means u can specify between 400000 to 499999)..
and some times u may not have defined number range... check urs and create accordingly ... this should solve ur problem...
rewards if solved ..

Signing a Document using Custom PKCS#11 and Hardware Token

I am using a custom PKCS#11 dynamic library and a hardware token to sign a document in Adobe Acrobat 10. I encountered this error when I used the Standard Text as the Appearance of the Signature.
Creation of this signature could not be completed. Unknown error Support Information: CDSHandler-657
If I use a custom appearance, the signing is successful.
Do I need to set anything else before signing the document? Everything works fine on Adobe Acrobat 11. I am using a Mac OS X 10.9 machine. The same error is encountered in Windows 7.
Is this a known issue in Adobe Acrobat 10?

My bad, actually I was not using Adobe SDK. I just loaded my custom PKCS module and tried to sign the document. Have you encountered this error?

Creation of developement class,package and access key

COULD ANYBODY EXPLAIN about
creation of developement class,package and access key
and who will create them?

Working With Development Objects
Any component of an application program that is stored as a separate unit in the R/3 Repository is called a development object or a Repository Object. In the SAP System, all development objects that logically belong together are assigned to the same development class.
Object Lists
In the Object Navigator, development objects are displayed in object lists, which contain all of the elements in a development class, a program, global class, or function group.
Object lists show not only a hierarchical overview of the development objects in a category, but also tell you how the objects are related to each other. The Object Navigator displays object lists as a tree.
The topmost node of an object list is the development class. From here, you can navigate right down to the lowest hierarchical level of objects. If you select an object from the tree structure that itself describes an object list, the system displays just the new object list.
For example:
Selecting an Object List in the Object Navigator
To select development objects, you use a selection list in the Object Navigator. This contains the following categories:
Category
Meaning
Application hierarchy
A list of all of the development classes in the SAP System. This list is arranged hierarchically by application components, component codes, and the development classes belonging to them
Development class
A list of all of the objects in the development class
Program
A list of all of the components in an ABAP program
Function group
A list of all of the function modules and their components that are defined within a function group
Class
A list of all of the components of a global class. It also lists the superclasses of the class, and all of the inherited and redefined methods of the current class.
Internet service
A list of all of the componentse of an Internet service:
Service description, themes, language resources, HTML templates and MIME objects.
When you choose an Internet service from the tree display, the Web Application Builder is started.
See also Integrating Internet Services.
Local objects
A list of all of the local private objects of a user.
Objects in this list belong to development class $TMP and are not transported. You can display both your own local private objects and those of other users. Local objects are used mostly for testing. If you want to transport a local object, you must assign it to another development class. For further information, refer to Changing Development Classes

Creating the Main Package
Use
The main package is primarily a container for development objects that belong together, in that they share the same system, transport layer, and customer delivery status. However, you must store development objects in sub-packages, not in the main package itself.
Several main packages can be grouped together to form a structure package.
Prerequisites
You have the authorization for the activity L0 (All Functions) using the S_DEVELOP authorization object.
Procedure
You create each normal package in a similar procedure to the one described below. It can then be included as a sub-package in a main package.
To create a main package:
1.       Open the Package Builder initial screen (SE21 or SPACKAGE).
2.       In the Package field, enter a name for the package that complies with the tools Naming Conventions
Within SAP itself, the name must begin with a letter from A to S, or from U to X.
3.       Choose Create.
The system displays the Create Package dialog box.
4.       Enter the following package attributes:
Short Text
Application Component
From the component hierarchy of the SAP system, choose the abbreviation for the application component to which you want to assign the new package.
Software component
Select an entry. The software component describes a set of development objects that can only be delivered in a single unit. You should assign all the sub-packages of the main package to this software component.
Exception: Sub-packages that will not be delivered to customers must be assigned to the HOMEsoftware component.
Main Package
This checkbox appears only if you have the appropriate authorization (see Prerequisites).
To indicate that the package is a main package, check this box.
5.       Choose Save.
6.       In the dialog box that appears, assign a transport request.
Result
The Change package screen displays the attributes of the new package. To display the object list for the package in the Object Navigator as well, choose from the button bar.
You have created your main package and can now define a structure within it. Generally, you will continue by adding sub-packages to the main package. They themselves will contain the package elements you have assigned.

Error during create CR for MDGC "Enter a relevant role for creation of customer master data"

Hello Experts,
I am unable to create a Customer CR in 'MDG 6.1 Customer UI' , the UI throws an error saying "Enter a relevant role for creation of customer master data".It looks like it is expecting me to mention the BP role ( like FLCU01 Customer or FLCU00 FI Customer ) , but I don't see that BP role section in the Customer UI to mention .
While creating the vendor CR , I am able to enter the BP role ( like FLVN01 vendor or FLVN00 FI Vendor ) in the UI BP Role section.
Following are the UI's for Customer and Vendor
Customers BS_OVP_BP: BS_OVP_CU > OVP: BS_CU_OVP - I do not see BP role section here.
Vendors BS_OVP_BP: BS_OVP_SP > OVP: BS_SP_OVP - This is working fine , I see BP role section here.
Please advice what I am missing here , what should I do for the successful CR creation . Should I change the UI for Customers or do I need to do anything in CVI configuration.
Thanks,

Hi Abdullah,
You were right in the first place the UIBB is missing , the UIBB 'Role' was present in the 'Search Customer' page but not available in the 'Create Customer CR' page , so I created the 'Role' UIBB again and was able to create the CR now . Not sure how it got deleted in the first place , is there any options where we reset the UI screen to the default initial configuration
But after approving the CR , only the Business Partner BP is getting created and the Customer is not getting created . Not sure what might be the issue now. Is there any config that tells to automatically create customer when BP is created. I was able to create Vendor using the create Vendor CR before.
Thanks

R12 Creation of Custom Responsibilities

Hi,
We are currently on R12 with a single org setup and and have a requirement to create custom resp. to control user access.
Pls. let me know if creation of custom menus, sub menus, request groups is the right option OR menu, function exclusions a better option.
When compared to 11i does R12 require any additional setups apart from New Resp, Menu, Submenu, Functions, Request Groups, Profile Options..?
Any metalink note Id which discusses detail of creation of custom resp. in R12 will be of great help.
Thanks

Hi,
The only way you can restrict an user to do certain activities only by defining multiple custom responsibilities... e.g.. A user should not have the privilege to do setups in the system.. He is authorised to do trxs only.. for that you define a Responsibility like "Inventory User" and exclude "setup" function/menu while defining the Responsibility... Now assign this resp to the user..By using this he will be able to do trxs only but he can't do setup or setup changes in Inventory module...
Your question: Pls. let me know if creation of custom menus, sub menus, request groups is the right option OR menu, function exclusions a better option.
To my know knowledge menu, function exclusion is a better option….
Inventory Responsibilities (e.g.)
==============================================================
Name: Application: Responsibility Key: Description: Effective Start date: Data Group Name: Data Group Application: Menu: Request Group Name: Request Group Application: Read Only Access Exclusions: (Menu) Exclusions: (Menu) Exclusions: (Function) Exclusions: (Function) Exclusions: (Function)

Question-2_
When compared to 11i does R12 require any additional setups apart from New Resp, Menu, Submenu, Functions, Request Groups, Profile Options..?
Ans : No… since you are setting up resp for a single org now.
Hope this will help.

Custom delta extractor: All data deleted in source table in R/3

Hi everyone,
I have made a custom delta extractor from R/3 to a BW system. The setup is the following:
The source table in R/3 holds a timestamp, which is used for the delta. The data is afterwards loaded to a DSO in the BW system. The extractor works as expected with delta capability. Furthermore if I delete a record in the source table, this is not transmitted to the DSO, which is also as expected.
The issue is this however: If we delete all data in the source table, then on the next load there is a request showing 1 record transfered to the DSO. This request does, however, not show up in the PSA, and afterwards all data fields in the DSO is set to initial.
Does anyone know why this happens?
Thank you in advance.
