  • Data Models and Data Flow diagrams.

    Hi  Gurus,
        Can anybody brief me the concept of Data Models and Data Flow Diagrams and their development with illustrations. And is it a responsibility of a Technical or a Functional consultant..i.e to translate Business requirements and functional specifications into technical specifications, data flow diagrams and data models.
    Your valuable answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Concept of Data Models
    Data model or Data modelling is basically how you define or design your BW Architecture based on Business requirements. It deals with designing and creating a effcient BW architecture sticking to standard practices.

    Data Flow Diagrams
    This show the path of data flow for each individual object in BW. How data dets loaded into that object and how it is going out of the object etc.
    Right click on the data target > show data flow .
    It shows all the intermdeiate layer through which data comes into that particular object.
    Responsibility of a Technical or a Functional consultant
    This is done genrally in the designing phase itself by a Senior Technical Consultant with the help of a Functional consultant or a Techno=Functional consultant interacting with Business.
    Hope this helps.

  • Copy data models and reports from BW 3.1 to NW 2004s

    Hi experts,
    Our client has two BW servers: BW 3.1 and BI 7. BW 3.1 contains lots of data models and reports. And the BI 7 server is newly installed.
    Now we want to copy these data models and reports from BW 3.1 to the new BI 7 server. Are there any solutions for this?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Frank,
    Sounds like a cross version transport is needed.
    This is a solution we have used to do what you want to do:-
    Create and release a transport as per normal.
    Copy and transport the files from the source system (BW 3.1) e.g /usr/sap/trans/data & /usr/sap/trans/cofiles to the same folders on the target system.
    Basis help is needed here.
    From here onwards using stms_import should help you in the normal manner.
    Works a treat.
    Have transported the following all correctly appearing as 3.x data models in NW2004s.
    DSO objects.
    Cubes
    Transfer/Update rules
    Reports.
    Cheers,

  • How to seperate Power Pivot Data Model and Power Pivot Report from Single Workbook.

    HI  Team,
    Initially, We have created Power Pivot report in workbook, containing Source Data Model as well.
    Now, we want to convert workbook having model as Shared Data Model, and all report needs to be part of single workbook.
    I want to implement one of the below solution, but know how to do it.
    1. Separate and Export all Power Pivot report sheet into single Excel Workbook such that it will have all report sheets.
    2. Use Same Model as it is and delete reports from existing one after export to new excel workbook.
    OR
    Is there is any other way to avoid re-creation of reports again? I want to use same report but instead of Embedded Excel data source, I want to use shared data Source in excel.

    One option is to use one workbook as the data source(model) and other workbooks for the reports.  This works in the stand alone Excel and SharePoint versions of Power BI, but not yet in O365 Power BI version.
    There is no export functionality. You would have to copy the workbook and update data source references. I have never tried it, but in theory it should work :).
    Brad Syputa, Microsoft Reporting Services This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties.
    Hi Michael,
    Yes your answer is partially correct..thanks for reply, I am working on Power Pivot reports on SharePoint.
    However, below issues observed.
    1. There is No Export Functionality ( as you told)
    2. We can not copy report sheet from workbook1 (which has Data Model) to Workbook2 ( only for report) using Control + C (copy) and Control + V (paste) option.
    Or Move Power Pivot Table ..
    So, solution can be (as you said, unfortunately I tried it already but dint worked)
    1. Copied workbook with New Name - Workbook2.
    2. Go to Data -> I tried to change connection setting -> to use shared Data Model -> I could create new Pivot table using shared Data Model
    But, Still I could use earlier designed Power Pivot tables as it is, to point to shared data model.
    I don't want to re-design entire report. As my project workbook has plenty reports.... :)

  • Differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse da

    Hello Everyone,
    Can anybody help me understand the differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse data modeling>
    Thanks

    Hello A S!
    What you mean is the difference between modelling after normal form like in operational systems (OLTP) e. g. 3NF and modelling a InfoCube in a data warehouse (OLAP)?
    While in a OLTP you want to have data tables free of redundance and ready for transactions meaning writing and reading few records often, in an OLAP-system you need to read a lot of data for every query you do on a database. Often in an OLAP-system you aggregate these amounts of data.
    Therefore you use another principle for these database scheme. This is called star schema. This means that you have one central table (called fact table) which holds the key figures and have keys to another tables with characteristics. These other tables are called dimension tables. They hold combinations of the characteristics. Normally you design it that your dimensions are small, so the access  on the data is more efficent.
    the star scheme in SAP BI is a little more complex than explained here but it follows the same concept.
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • Business ByDesign UI: find Business Objects and UI definitions involved

    Hello,
    I am new to SAP Business ByDesign sdk development. The most difficult part is to identify the right Standard SAP Business Objects and use them the right way.

  • Problem with Data Model and Analysis View

    I create an analyze in BI Publisher and then i create a data model using this object.
    When i try to generate an XML with a number of rows the BI Publisher return an empty XML (Only with de DATA_DS tags but no data).   To bypass this problem i make and XML file by hand and this allow me to create reports and design it but when i try to view the reports i got the message that says "No Data Found".
    So i was check the analysis and all looks appears to be fine,  In the results tab it show me a complete table with the data i was looking to use.
    So i try to repeat the error and when  i try to create the XML for the Data Model i found this two error in the logs:

    As i understand there is has a reference to a null value but i cant find what column of the analysis has the problem.
    Any ideas about how to solve or debug this?
    Thanks

    I follow your instructions and it works fine. I can create the XML and the reports can show data.
    So, i already know that there is no problem with the data and with the BI Publisher installation but i still doesn know what is the problem with the analysis view that fails.
    Any idea how to debug it?
    Thanks.

  • Different LOV behavior between SQL query data model and data template

    I have noticed different behavior when using parameters linked to list of values (LOV) of type menu with the multiple selection option enabled and a SQL query data model vs a data template. Here's the example because that first sentence was probably really confusing.
    SQL Query:
    select
    plmc.MonthCode, plmc.ModalityDim, plmc.ModalityName,plmc.RegionDim
    from
    DataOut.dbo.PatientLabMonthlyCross plmc
    where
    plmc.MonthCode = 200202
    and plmc.RegionDim = 1209
    and 1 =
    case
    when coalesce(:modalityDim,null) is null
    then 1
    else
    case
    when plmc.ModalityDim in (:modalityDim)
    then 1
    else 0
    end
    end
    Putting BI Publisher into debug mode, defining a data model of type SQL Query, defining a parameter called :modalityDim linked to a LOV that allows multiple selections, and selecting a couple of values from the LOV the output of the prepared statement is:
    [081607_122647956][][STATEMENT] Sql Query : select
    plmc.MonthCode,
    plmc.ModalityDim,
    plmc.ModalityName,

    where
    plmc.MonthCode = 200202
    and plmc.RegionDim = 1209
    and 1 =
    case
    when coalesce(?,?,null) is null
    then 1
    else
    case
    when plmc.ModalityDim in (?,?)
    then 1
    else 0
    end
    end

    Note how the bind variable :modalityDim was changed into two parameters in the prepared statement.
    When I use this same SQL Query in a data template the output is:

    case

    then 1
    else
    case
    when plmc.ModalityDim in (?)

    Note the exception because it is trying to convert the multiple parameter values.
    Am I doing something completely wrong here? I really need to use a data template because I will need to link a couple of queries together from different database vendors.
    -mark

    This is for 10.1.3.4 - because in 11g every SQL query is automatially part of a data model.
    In 10g SQL query is for simple unrelated SQL queries.
    If you need to use advance features such as:
    a) multiple SQL queries that are joined in master-detail relation ships
    b) before/after report triggers
    Then you will need to use the data template, which is an XML description
    of the queries, links, and PL/SQL calls.
    hope that helps,

  • BW data model and impacts to HANA memory consumption

    Hi All,
    As I consider how to create BW models where HANA is the DB for a BW application, it makes sense moving the reporting target from Cubes to DSOs.  Now the next logical progression of thought is that the DSO should store the lowest granularity of data(document level).  So a consolidated data model that reports on cross functional data would combine sales, inventory and purchasing data all being stored at document level.  In this scenario:
    Will a single report execution that requires data from all 3 DSOs use more memory vs the 3 DSOs aggregated say at site/day/material?Lower Granularity Data = Higher Memory Consumption per report execution
    I'm thinking that more memory is required to aggregate the data in HANA before sending to BW.  Is aggregation still necessary to manage execution memory usage?
    Regards,
    Dae Jin

    Let  me rephrase.
    I got an EarlyWatch that said my dimensions on one of cube were too big.  I ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS in SE38 in my development box and that confirmed it.
    So, I redesigned the cube, reactivated it and reloaded it.  I then ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS again.  The cube doesn't even show up on it.  I suspect I have to trigger something in BW to make it populate for that cube.  How do I make that happen manually?
    Thanks.

  • Needed - BW data model and list of Dimensions and Fact table from BW

    Dear Friends,
    Can somebody please share SAP BW DATA MODEL (LOGICAL) and share the list of DIMENSION and FACT tables exist in BW?
    I don't have access to SAP or SAP BW and I am building data-mart and SAP FI/CO will be the source.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,

  • Data modeler and Sql Developer

    Just downloaded sqldeveloper 3 EA - and the ability to drag a schema into data modeler for a quick logical diagram is gone.
    Can this only be done now in the separate data modeler product?

    It's still there - you can drag&drop tables from SQL Developer browser only to empty relational model diagram. Pressing Ctrl key will change the behavior - all child tables also will be imported.
    You can drag&drop object types on data types model diagram.
    Now you have more possibilities - to rearrange/format and print diagram, to generate DDL.

  • Oracle Spatial RDF data model and database edition

    Hi: Can some one please let me know the Oracle edition that support the RDF data mdoel.
    According to my understaning it is Oracle 10g Enterprsie edition, with the Spatial option. If this is true; is installing the enterprise edition will already give me the Spatial option? or do I have to isntall the Spatial data model as a seperate module. Besides this is installing the Spatial data model already give the RDF capability, or again RDF is a sepeare module that need to be installed seperately?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Rashid.

    Hi Axel,
    You could use the download of Oracle 10g available on OTN at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/semantic_technologies/index.html. This can be used free for development, but not for deployment. As long as you use it just for development during your thesis and do not deploy it in a production environment it should be OK to use the free download.
    Along with the free download we recommend also using the patch (RDF specific patch for 10.2.0.1 database) that is available by clicking on 'software' on the same page.
