DB tables and datasources

Hi all
How to know which all DB tables has attached to any specific datasources (R/3) ..
like : 0EC_PCA_1 - GLPCT
0EC_PCA_3 - GLPCA
Is their any specific transaction to know all these or any DB tables which update all the details regarding the datasource and their respective tables from which they are updated.
Thanks
Suraj

No - you will have to do the digging yourself
If it is a view then you are lucky - but 99% of the transaction datasources are not
They are either from direct postings to the delta queue (you can see this in LBWE - which types of postings update the queue for each datasource - eg PO, GR)
For everything else - it's funtion module and read the 10,000 lines of code for each one (normally look in the function modele for a get_delta statement and double click down till you get the details)

Create a report from scratch, add Table and Datasource Problem

Hi,
I'm using the latest Crystal Reports Runtime supplied for eclipse.
I want to create a report from scratch, add a Table and then add a ArrayList of Pojos as the Datasource.
But unfortunately depending on the ConnectionInfo I supply to the Table I get different errors.
I looked through the samples and see that I have to supply properties
like
"Database DLL", "crdb_javabeans.dll" and ConnectionInfo.setUserName("");
     ConnectionInfo.setPassword(null)
I looked through the forums and find different set of properties.
Actually because I am just working with Pojos I would have thougth that something like the following
would be sufficient:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
            doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
            doc.newDocument();
Table table = new Table();
table.setAlias("reportTable");
table.setName("reportTable");
doc.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
doc.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(myCoolection, myClass, "reportTable", "reportTable");
So could someone tell me the right/minimum Set of Properties to make a Table get connected to Pojos?

With XI Release 2, you can come quite close to creating from scratch:

Generic datasource based on custom table and hierarchy table

Hi Gurus,
I have a doubt regarding generic datasource.
my requirement: to create a datasource with 10 fields. (7 fields from custom table and 3 fields whose values can be derived from a hierarchy table).
I have a custom table. In this table one field refers to a hierarchy table. Using this hierarchy table, we can derive values to 3 new fields.
My question is, If i create a generic datasource based on the custom table, how can i include the extra 3 fields which gets values from the hierarchy table.
Where can i write the logic to extract the values for those 3 fields from the hierarchy table.
Thanks

Hi Aarthi,
Sample code in the user exit woul be like this:
DATA: i_biw_tab LIKE BIW_MARA_S.
WHEN '<data source>'.
    LOOP AT i_t_data INTO i_biw_tab.
      SELECT fields
        INTO <table from which you want the value
        FROM <table>
       WHERE <your condition>.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
             MODIFY i_t_data FROM i_biw_tab.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.

Pivot tables and charts error: Please load datasource first

hi all,
i am getting a error: please load data source first in rtf template , only for pivot table and charts(note: normal tables and fields i can insert )
Please help me with this.
Thanks and Regards
Prakhar

Well... if you think and try long enough, you may find the solution .
The core problem is to reference to queried values not shown in the table/chart. And there IS a solution.
Just use...
NoFilter(RelativeValue([measure prior year_1];([year/month]);-12))
... instead of
RelativeValue([measure prior year_1];([year/month]);-12)
NoFilter enables RelativeValue to reference to values not present in a table or chart, but available in the report .
From there on, you can define e.g. the starting point of the category axis of a chart by defining a local filter without losing values to be referenced .

Fact Table and Dimension Tables

Hi Experts, I'm creating custom InfoCubes for data coming from non-SAP source systems. I have two InfoCubes. Tha data is coming from like 10 tables. I have 10 DataSources created fo this and the data will be consolidated in Standard DSO before it will flow into 2 InfoCubes.
Now client wants to know before how much data will be there in InfoCubes in Fact table nad Dimension tables in both the InfoCubes. I have the total size of all the 10 tables from the sources given to me by the DBA. I wan not sure how I can convert that info for Fact table and Dimension table as I have not yet created these Infocubes.
Please help me with this on how I should address this.

hi,
The exact data will be hard to give however you can reach at a round figure in your case.
You are consolidating the data from the tables that means that there is relation between the tables. Arrive at a rough figure based on the relation and the activity you are performing while consolidating the data of the tables.
For example, let us say we want to combine data for sales order and deliveries in a DSO.
Let Sales order has 1000 records and Delivery has 2000 records. Both the tables have a common link (Sales Order).In DSO you are combining the data that means the data will be at the most granular level consist of Delivery data, so the maximum no of records which the consolidated DSO can have is 2000.

How create report with data from table and some columns results function ?

Hi,
How can i create on apex report region with some columns (of the report) as returned from a table and the other columns as results of plsql functions ?
for example , I want to create a report like that:
device last_date error_msg stop/start
kodak1 06/04/08 null >>
kodak2 08/03/08 good msg --^--
kodak3 08/04/08 err msg >>
3 rows returned
where the 3 first columns are data returned from the table and the forth column is the result of plsql function (returned for example false) and on that i want to display a button of start ( >> in this example ) or stop ( --^-- in this example)

Thomas,
There is no problem here -- this is fully suported scenario.
1. Bind Table dataSource to Customers node.
2. Bind individual cell editors to any attribute of customer or any nested node like Address, say create column with InputField as editor, then for "value" property select Customer.Address.Street.
Your nested nodes (like Address) must be non-singleton, set singleton=false on context designer tab.

Database table as datasource is not a "flat table"

Hi there,
im trying to transfer a user-created table from a sap-system into our sap-BW. I specified the table
as a datasource and everything seems to work fine.
But when i try to activate the generated datasource in the BW-system, it says it can't activate the datasource because its not a flat table.The datasource looks like [this|http://www.picstar.de/data/27-4-2009/bi.JPG], some of the fields of the original table containing strings we're ignored.
It works fine with other database tables though.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance,
dominik

Hi Dominik,
On which table did you create your dataSource ? Is is a transparent table (not a pool or a cluster table) ?
You can see this in the technical option of the table (SE11).

Connect Crystal report with FI Data through MAXDB ERP Tables or Datasources

Hi,
I want to create crystal report queries for SAP ERP FI Data. The source system database is MAXDB.
How can i connect the maxDB database or ERP to crystal report?
Do i need tables or datasources to create queries, and how do i connect them to crystal report.
I will thankful for any help.
Kind regards
Arnaud

I would recommend to take a look here:
BOBJ and SAP R/3
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/03/23/businessobjects-and-sap-part-4
The drivers I am talking about will be available in the CR Designer once you install the BO integration kit for SAP solutions.
If you try to access directly the underlying MAX DB database you will not have access to all data since SAP ERP stores the data partially compressed in the database tables.

Reference table and field

Hi Experts,
When I am adding a new field NETWR in the structure to enhance the datasource and checking it, I am getting the following error:
SPECIFY REFERENCE TABLE AND REFERENCE FIELD.
How to over come this error?
Kindly help me,
Thanks in advance,
Kannan

Kannan,
there will be reference fields specified in the table for this field - specifically currency / unit fields - you need to have these in your view to be able to activate the datasource.
search the forums on the same also....
Within the view - check the currency / units tab available in SE11.

Source Tables and Fields

Hi Experts,
Is there any documentation or any TCode or Program or FM to find from which table and from which field the data sources (2LIS_11_VAHDR, ..........) are extracting the data. I mean in DSs we have n no. of fields, from which table and from which field these fields(in DS) are getting data when i check in RSA3.
Plz can any one help me in this regard...
Thanks & Regards
Ramakrishna Kamurthy

Hi,
I do not think any particular T code exists for this. You can find in the following way.
1.To find the data source details means whether it is fetching data using tables/view or an function module using transaction RSA2 (DS Repository).Put your data source name then execute.In the next screen you will see the nature of data source and if its View/table you can see what table/structure of view it is using.
If Extraction Method is 'V' - you see table name where data is taken from.
2. If it is F* - function module is used, and you have to go thru its code to see all the tables it uses and logic how data is processed.>Check the extract structure in the RSA2 t code. there u will find function module name just try to go through the source code of function module.>there u will find the table name.
Ext. Meth Short text
V Transparent Table or DB View
D Fixed Domain Value
F1 Function Module (Complete Interface)
F2 Function Module (Simple Interface)
Q Extraction Using ABAP Query
A DataSource Append
OR
Since you have the extract structure and the extractor, you can try Extractor Checker RSA3.Execute ST05 (activating SQL Trace), switch on the trace and execute the extractor checker. Once the extractor checker presents the results
switch off trace. The clcik on Display trace and you will see all the tables that were hit by the extractor checker to retrieve data and present it to you.
Note: Set the break point in the Extractor Function module.
View the ST05 Extended Trace list. The Object name shows the Tables accessed.
Hope this helps,
Regards

Expand the Warehouse tables X adding physical tables and joins

I was questioned about these options:
a) Add physical tables (from other DBs) and modifying the physical model with new joins + modifying logical model to include new columns
b) Expand warehouse tables to include new columns in the tables. Doing a complementar ETL in order to feed the additional columns with data. Logical model would be updated but the idea in this option is to avoid joins in the physical layer.
My understanding is that option a) despite the joins in the physical layer would be a better strategy.
Pls. I'd appreciate any comments on the performance side or in the amount of effort to create the complementar ETL...
Txs.
Antonio

Hi Lombo,
I am not sure about what you mean with option a. In my understanding, you are asking for a comparison between:
a) adding data from an additional source in the RPD:
This means that you have to create an additional data source in the physical layer. I do not think you can create relations between physical tables sourced from different data sources in your physical layer. This means that the data is related in the logical layer. By doing this, the BI Server has to join the data from both sources for each front-end request. Also, it will have to perform the last aggregations instead of shipping it to the database. This is a big performance hit in terms of response time.
However! It can be much and much faster in terms of development effort required to support this. If it's only a limited number of columns and tables being added, this may be a valid option. You can also use this approach to prototype option b.
b) adding data from an additional source using ETL:
Quite some work in terms of development effort. However, all complexity and performance hits are moved to the bottom of the stack and process: database and ETL. You will need to create an additional data source in the DAC, additional custom folder(s) in Informatica and the ETL logic to update the existing tables and/or load new tables.
Additionaly, you need to expand the RPD with the new columns / tables, just as you would do in option a. However, now it will be sourced from the same datasource: less work for the BI Server to deliver the dataset to satisfy the request.
So basically, I would consider:
- How does the system currently perform: response times in the front end ( bad -> go for option b )
- How many columns will be added and how often will they be used in the front-end
- Informatica / DAC / OBI expertise available
- How long do you have to facilitate reporting on data from the 2nd source
Good luck!

UKMCRED_SGM0C: Only tables and views are permitted for extraction???

My BI transport got failed (from Dev to QA) with the reason
" UKMCRED_SGM0C: Only tables and views are permitted for extraction" . Can you please help me in this.
Thanks,

hi Roger,
Could you please provide more details of the transport ... like what was being transported ... from what I see I feel you attempted to transport a generic datasource.. not sure.
