Date in a Cube???

Hi everybody,
The issue I have is that I want to add a date field to my Fact cubes, this is because I think its the only way to save the date when a row is modified,
so please I would like to know how to do this.
PD. I'm usin' OWB 11gR2
Also could you explain me if there's another option for date saving in both dimensions and cubes?
Waiting for your polite reply
Greetings from Mexico.

Thanks for replies.
@Ravi- Ideally what you said is the perfect design, but this is an existing cube and this issue shows up for a few contracts which are not high in number. so the issue isnt small enough to ignore and also not strong enough to redesign. I am sure we all have inherited this kind os mess beofre.
@voodi- we already have an ODS and there is no issue at ODS level as it gets over writtn, but when loaded to cube, it creates an extra entry.
Lets us know is there a easy way to fix it.
if it were an ods-ods scenario id have used result table, but i blieve result table doesnt help in this scenario either.

Could not see the data in the cube

Hi all,
Iam trying to load data from one cube to another. Everything is fine but Iam not able to see the data in the new cube.
I created 2 cubes--> Cube A new & cube B new which are copied from existing cubes cube A and Cube B. I need to load data from these new cubes cube Anew & cube B new to another cube (cube C new) which is also a copy of existing cube C. I created update rules and activated them.I tried to load the data into the cube C new. I can see the load to be green but I cannot see the data in the cube C new. it shows 0 records in cube C new. there are records in cube A new & cube B new.
Can anyone plz help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Preethi.

Hi Balu,
I dont know what exactly the problem was but even after the load was successful i could not see any records in the new cube. The source cubes had 60,446 and 7595 records. but the target cube had 0 records.
I ran the program SAP_FACTVIEWS_RECREATE as Bhanu suggested and deleted the data from the new cube(inspite of having 0 records I deleted them). I tried to load the data again which was successful and I could see the data in the new cube.
Hope its clear.
Thanks,
Preethi.

Input ready query is not showing loaded data in the cube

Dear Experts,
In Input ready query we have problem that it is not showing the values which was not entered by throught hat query. Is any settings in input ready query that we can do to populate the loaded data on the cube as well as data entered through Input ready query itself.
Thanks,
Gopi R

Hi,
input ready queries always should display most recent data (i.e. all green and the yellow request). So you can check the status of the requests in the real-time InfoCube. There should exist only green requests and maybe at most one yellow request.
In addition you can try to delete the OLAP cache for the plan buffer query: Use RSRCACHE to do this. The technical names of the plan buffer query can be found as follows:
1. InfoCube\!!1InfoCube, e.g. ZTSC0T003/!!1ZTSC0T003 if ZTSC0T003 is the technical name of the InfoCube
2. MPRO\!!1MPRO, e.g. ZTSC0M002/!!1ZTSC0M002 if ZTSC0M002 is the technical name of the multiprovider
If the input ready query is defined on an aggregation level using a real-time InfoCube, the first case is relevant; if the aggregation level is defined on a multiprovider the second case is relevant. If the input-ready query is defined on a multiprovider containing aggregation levels again the first case is relevant (find the real-time InfoCubes used in the aggregation level).

Can not find data in virtual cube

Experts,
I can not find data in virtual cube with services function module (copying Z_RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC10 from RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC10).The standard cube is maintained with data.
Can anybody tell me what could be the reasons the data is coming through Virtua cube.
Thanks,
AK

Hi,
i_basic_infoprov is the name of the provider where the data is selected from. This must be a basic provider that contains data. What I meant was, create a copy of fm RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC,1 maybe as Z_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC1, and enter the name of this fm in the properties of your virtual cube. For that fm it might also be a good idea to enter a default value for i_infoprov. And this should be the name of your virtual cube.

To load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.

Experts,
Please let me know whether it is possible to load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.If so explain the steps to perform.
Thanks,
Meera

Hi,
Think in this way,
To load the data fro any source we need datasource Ok. You can genare Export data source for Cube in APO, then use that datasource for BW extraction, try like this. I think it will work, in my case I'm directly loading data from APO to BW using the DataSource sthat are genaraed on Planning Area.
Why you need to take data from APO cube?. Is there any condition for that?. If it is not mandatory, you can use the dame datasource and load the data to BW, if they have any conditions while loading the data from APO to APO cube, they you try check wherther it is possible in BW or not. If possible then you use DataSource and do the same calculation in BW directly.
Thanks

How to load data to a cube from multiple infosources ?

Hi friends,
How to load data to a cube from multiple infosources ? could u please answer this question .
thanks in advance......

Hi ,
say for example you need to load data to 1 cube from 3 info sources:
1) You need to create 3 update rules for the Cube.
2) Each time you create the update rules. Mention the name the name of the Info source. and create update rules correspondingly.

Moving data to archive cube

Hi Experts,
We are extracting data from R/3 to BW.We are keeping 2years of Data in DSO1 and moving into Cube(R/3>DSO1>Cube1).we have 2007 and 2008 data in the DSO and Cube.We extracted 1999 to 2006 data in to History DSO from R/3 and sent into InfoCube(Cube2).The flow as is follows
Current Data:2007 and 2008
R/3 -
>DSO1--->Cube 1(Deltas are running)
History data:1996 to 2006
R/3>DSO2--->Cube2.
Now I want to move 2007 data in to History data(History DSO and Cube).
I have two options to get this job done .
1.Move selective data from DSO1 to DSO2 and from DSO2 to Cube 2.
2.Move selective data from Cube 1 to Cube 2.If So I can't see item wise data just I can see only Aggregated data in the cube.
Is there any best approach other than two options.if not what would be the best between two options.
Once I move the data into History cube I need to delete the data in Current DSO and Current Cube based on selective deletion.If I delete the data in DSO and Cube is there any impact on currrent Delta load.
I need to do this every year becuase we want to keep only 2years of data in current data InfoCube..Could any one throw some light on the above issue.
Thansks,
Rani.

Hi Rani.........
Ur 1st Question....
We are extracting data from R/3 to BW.We are keeping 2years of Data in DSO1 and moving into Cube(R/3>DSO1>Cube1).we have 2007 and 2008 data in the DSO and Cube.We extracted 1999 to 2006 data in to History DSO from R/3 and sent into InfoCube(Cube2).The flow as is follows
Current Data:2007 and 2008
R/3 -
>DSO1--->Cube 1(Deltas are running)
History data:1996 to 2006
R/3>DSO2--->Cube2.
Now I want to move 2007 data in to History data(History DSO and Cube).
I have two options to get this job done .
1.Move selective data from DSO1 to DSO2 and from DSO2 to Cube 2.
2.Move selective data from Cube 1 to Cube 2.If So I can't see item wise data just I can see only Aggregated data in the cube.
Is there any best approach other than two options.if not what would be the best between two options.
ANS I want to clear u one thing.....that in infocube data will not get Aggregated until u aggregate the Cube.........So u can see the data in cube item wise if u don't aggregate the cube.......
Anyways...I think the best option is to follow the Flow.....Move selective data from DSO1 to DSO2 and from DSO2 to Cube 2..........
Secondly..U hav asked...
Once I move the data into History cube I need to delete the data in Current DSO and Current Cube based on selective deletion.If I delete the data in DSO and Cube is there any impact on currrent Delta load.
I need to do this every year becuase we want to keep only 2years of data in current data InfoCube..Could any one throw some light on the above issue....
ANS Selective deletion of data is not going to effect delta loads...so u can do Selective deletion...
Actually Delta load will get effected....somehow if anyone delete a delta request without making the QM status red.......then init flag will not be set back....and data will be lost...
Hope this helps..

Debjnai...

How to create a report in bex based on last data loaded in cube?

I have to create a query with predefined filter based upon "Latest SAP date" i.e. user only want to see the very latest situation from the last load. The report should only show the latest inventory stock situation from the last load. As I'm new to Bex not able to find the way how to achieve this. Is there any time characteristic which hold the last update date of a cube? Please help and suggest how to achieve the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajesh.
Thnx fr ur suggestion.
My requirement is little different. I build the query based upon a multiprovider. And I want to see the latest record in the report based upon only the latest date(not sys date) when data load to the cube last. This date (when the cube last loaded with the data) is not populating from any data source. I guess I have to add "0TCT_VC11" cube to my multiprovider to fetch the date when my cube is last loaded with data. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanx in advance.

Data Request on Cube

Hi All
I'm new to IP.
I've created aggregation level on info cube then created a input ready query on the cube and I've saved the data on Cube.It's working fine but the data request on cube still stays with yellow.
What's the settings to be done to get yellow request to green.

Charan.

For IP and BPS, the status remains yellow only.

Automatically trigger the event to load data from Planning cube to Standard Cube

Hello,
We have a below set up in our system..
1. A Planning BEx query using which user makes certain entries and writes back data to the planning cube.
2. An actual reporting cube which gets data from the planning cube above.
Now, what we want to do is to automate the data load from Planning cube to Reporting cube.
This involves 2 things..
1. Change the setting " Change real time load behaviour " of the planing cube to Planning.
2. Trigger the DTP which loads data from Planning cube to reporting cube.
We want to automate the above two steps...
I have tried few things to achieve the same..
1. Created an event in SM64,
2. In the Planning cube "Manage" Screen, clicked on "Subsequent Processing" and provided the event details. ( Not sure if its the correct place to provide the event detail ).
3. Wrote a ABAP program which changes the setting of the planning cube ( " Change real time load behaviour " to Loading )
4. Created a process chain, where we have used the event as a start variant, used the ABAP program as a next step, DTP run as the last step..
This i hoped, would trigger the event as soon as a new request comes and sits in planning cube, which in turn would trigger the process chain which would load the data from Planning cube to reporting cube..
This is not working. I dont think the event is triggering, and even if does i am not sure whether it will start the process chain automatically. Any ideas please ?

Data from planning cube to TEXT FILE IN directories of BW

hi all
i have 2 transactional planning cubes in BW. the data in these cubes in bw needs to be uploaded monthly in to a single text file so that APO system can access the data for some purpose.
my question is how to upload the data from transactional cubes to the text file, which is more detailed. is that use ful to construct a ODS or CUBE(basic) on top of the transactional cubes.
if i keep the file in BW directory whethere APO can access that.?..
please help me out
praveen.

Hi,
You could create a multicube over your 2 transactional cubes and extract your data with a query on the multicube.
Make sure you restrict 0REQUID 'request id' using 0S_RQMRC 'most current data' to be sure you extract the most recently planned data.
No need to convert the transactional cubes to basic cubes.
To download the query I think you have to use the reporting agent of the broadcaster.
Thanks for you points if you found this helpful or if this solved your problem.

Filip

Issues with Writing back data to Planning Cube After adding a new characterstic

Hello,
We have two cubes and a MP on top of it. ( Reporting Cube and Planning Cube ). An aggregation layer has also been built and so does a planning BEx query on top of it.
Before Scenario: things were working fine as we were able to write back data to planning cube using the BEx.
After Scenario: We created a new Dimension in the planning cube and added a new characteristic ( lets call it ZX_KEY ) . This Characteristic holds the concatenated values of some of the other characteristics in its master data tables . ( For ex: Account_Customer ID_Country-code_Industry-code ).
This new characteristic is also present in the reporting cube and has been added and transferred to MP.
This new characterstic was added to the planning BEx query as one of the rows and we executed it the analyzer. After entering the required values for all characterstics ( including the newly added ZX_KEY ) and the key figure values, we tried saving it. Now this is where the Analyzer is throwing up this error..
~~Characterstic combination cannot be assigned to part provider ~~
~~Characterstic 'ZX_KEY'; Characterstic value 'R123000000_12_US_TX'~~
~~ Entered values are incorrect:Correct before navigation ~~
The value that we are entering ( R123000000_12_US_TX ) is picked up from the master data table of ZX_KEY by double clicking and selecting it from the fetched values. So i am not sure as to why its throwing up the above error. Request your help on this please.
regards,
Karthik

Hi,
Try to check that all characteristics are correctly assigned at multiprovider level.
hope it helps

Data mismatch between Cube & Report

Gurus,
I am running a 'Sales -forecast & Commitment Analysis' report. For some reason, when I drill down to the Profit center, Major category & material level, my individual line items do not sum to the Result row i.e. there is a mismatch betwen the line iten numbers & the result.
However I checked with the listcube functionality of the cube. I see no fault with the data in the cube.
I also sat with the Basis/DBA guys, but i got to know there isn't any fault with the DB side or with indexing either. I have checked the report, the aggregates aswell. I am not able to make out anything.
Guru Plz suggest a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Shree

Hi,
In your query click on the particular key figure and select calculations tab from the properties.
check what you have in calculate result as over there. make it total and see if it solves the problem.
Also check in the aggregation tab for any exception aggregation. in display tab see if any scaling factor is used. no scaling factor should be used genrally.

Move data from one cube to another cube

Hi,
I am on BW 3.5 and I have moved the data from one cube to another cube and found that the number of records in the original cube does not match to the newly created cube. for eg. if the original cube contains 8,549 records then the back up cube contains 7,379 records.
Please help me on what I need to look on and if in case the records are getting aggregated then how do I check the aggregating record.
Regards,
Tyson

Dear tyson m ,
check with any update rules in ur transfer.If so check in it.
Just go through these methods for making transfer from one cube to another cube fully without missing data.
Update rules method
if it's updated from ods, you can create update rules for cube2 and update from ods
or you can try datamart scenario
cube1 right click 'generate export datasource'
create update rules for cube2, assign with cube1
rsa1->source system->bw myself, right click 'replicate datasource'
rsa1-> infosource -> search 8cube1 name
(if not get, try right click root note 'infosource'->insert lost node(s)
from that infosource, you will find assigned with datasource, right click and 'create infopackage', schedule and run.
Copy from
While creating the new cube give the cube name in the "Copy from" section. It would copy all the characteristics and Key figures. It would even copy the dimensions and Navigational attributes
Another option is:
The steps for copying the contents of one cube to another:
1. Go to Manage -> Recontruct of the new cube.
2. Select the "selection button"(red , yellow, blue diamond button).
3.In the selection screen you can give the technical name of the old cube, requests ids you want to load, from & to date.
4.Execute and the new cube would be loaded.
Its all that easy!!!!!!

How to delete selective data in a cube

Hi all,
Can any one tell me, how to delete selective data in a cube. For example if i want to delete data corresponding particular Matrial Id or particular Customer ID (say C400) ? And even deleting the data based on particular Request numer.?
Sandy.

Hi,
RSMO > Infocube > Manage > contents tab > selective deletion
Then define your selections for deletions (Matrial Id or particular Customer ID (say C400)).
Request based deletions can be done directly from Request tab.
