Delta field not enabled for selection in generic data source

Hi
I have created a generic data source for the table VBFA....and for the delta pick up i have put the delta option as CALDAY on the field ERDAT...and i have selected that field for the selection option. but after i made it delta enabled the selection option got disabled.
Now when i check the info package delta selection tab that date column is not apperaing.
But when i have to run the info package for the first i dont want all the data as it has a huge set of data.
I wanted to take only this months data.
So is there any option to be set to enable this selection in info package.
please suggest.
Regards
Shilpa

Hi there,
That's the stardard behaviour. If you use delta based om ERDAT, that field won't be available for selecting.
You could for example try to build a view over VBFA, and let the field ERDAT there and another field, for example ZERDAT (that is just another alias for ERDAT). Create the delta based onyour view over the field (ERDAT), but you can still control the restrictions over the extractore with your ZERDAT.
I don't know if this is possible, this is only an assumption.
Another option could be first to create an extractor based on the table VBFA but without delta, that field ERDAT would be available. Do your full data restricting it, and after that, change your datasource to use deltas based on ERDAT. It will be unavailable than, but since you've already loaded previous full data, you could than use your delta like it is. But here, remember, your deltas will bring new and change data based on ERDAT. If it brings delta based on changed data over ERDAT to a record that you didn't brought over your full (only some data), it will be incorrect records.
Also just an assumption, did not try it.

Field Selection in Generic Data Source

HI Gurus,
I created a Generic Data Source for Text master data upload and checked language key as selection so that I can use this field in Info Package on BW side to upload data for a perticualr language. I dont see any field in Data Selection tab of Info package.
Any help in this regard?
Thanks

Hi Raj;
This is standard procedure...when you have checked the selection on your datasource; you should be able to see the field in your Infopackage. Try to see if you have others column also got checked for example: hide column for this field; if it is uncheck it. Also after you have done this change make sure you save the datasource and replicate it in BW side. Try to crate also a new Infopackage ...just in case.
Hope this helps.

SSRS CatalogItem method not working for deploying a shared data source

I have been working with the SSRS CreateCatalogItem method to deploy reports to a SSRS 2012 in SharePoint integrated mode with SharePoint Server Enterprise 2013. I am using Powershell. The CreateCatalogItem method works fine when I deploy RDL files,
but fails when I deploy an RDS. I get an rsInvalidXML1400 error, whatever that is. Here is a cut-down version of my code to establish the bare essentials:
    [String] $reportserver = "server20";
    [String] $url = "http://$($reportserver)/sites/AdventureWorks/_vti_bin/reportserver/reportservice2010.asmx?WSDL";
    [String] $SPFolderPath = "http://server20/sites/AdventureWorks/BICenter/Data%20Connections/";
    [String] $fileFolder = "C:\SiteBackups\BIReports\BIReports\";
    [String] $itemName = "AdventureWorksCube.rds";
    $ssrs = New-WebServiceProxy -uri $url -UseDefaultCredential;
    $warnings = $null;
    $itemPath= $($fileFolder + $itemName);
    $definition = get-content $itemPath -encoding byte;
    try
        $ssrs.CreateCatalogItem("DataSource", $itemName, $SPFolderPath,$False,$definition,$null, [ref] $warnings);
    catch [System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException]
        $msg = $_.Exception.Detail.InnerText;
        Write-Error $msg;
I have a workaround whereby I read the XML of the data source file directly and extract the ConnectString and Extension elements then use the text within them to create the data source using the DataSourceDefinition class. My point is not to get a workaround.
I want to establish that the CreateCatalogItem method indeed does not work when used with the ItemType "DataSource". In the code above, if I change the itemType i.e. first parameter of CreateCatalogItem to "Report" and change the $itemName
to the name of an RDL file, it deploys correctly. Has anyone else encountered this behavior or am I doing something wrong here?

Hello,
We can invoke the SSRS proxy endpoint (ReportService2006.asmx)from PowerShell to publish report definitions (.rdl) and report models (.smdl) to a SharePoint library, but this does not apply to data source (.rds) files.
In order to deploy .rds to SharePoint library without using SSDT, you should convert the .rds file to its .rsds counterpart which is pretty contains same content but in different schema.
If you want to fully automate your deployment, you should write your own converter and perform the deployment by utilizing SharePoint feature framework and SSRS proxy endpoint (ReportService2006.asmx).
Please refer to the following blog about this issue:

BW Master data delta generic data source for further update in BW

Hi BWers,
I am looking for an option to load delta from Master data to another master data within BW. Export data source option for master data only has full load option but no delta update possible.
I tried creating generic data source delta enabled on view of master data (/BI/M). But the problem I am facing now is master data contains quantity field as attribute and this field refers another table RSDKYF for unit. To be able to create data source on view / table no field should refer field in another table.
Did anybody create delta for master data for further loading within BW or came across similar issue with key figures, please let me know the best procedure in this scenario? Appreciate your quick response.
Regards,
Madhav

In your master data attribute have a date field which will be filled by the R/3 load as sy-datum - then create an export datasource and in the infopackage - give a selectoion for the date field as sy-datum and sy-datum -1..
Not exactly a delta but then usually master data is not kept as delta because the volumes are usually less - you can achieve delta by this method...

Generic Data source on Function module

Hi All,
We are working on generic data source based on a function module for the first time and we do not know how to start with.
Our requirement is to fetch mode of communication field from SRM. We have identified a function module in SRM which does this job. But when we try to create a generic data source on this function module it is throwing an error.
Are the import parameters for a general function module and function module for a BI generic data source different?
If so could someone please guide us in creating the function module so that we can create a generic data source on top of it.
The function module should serve the same purpose as the function module BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_GETDETAIL.
Thanks,
Shravani

Shivani,
My suggestion would be creating Z-program to store the values in a custom table and use this for extraction.
Further if still want to use the FM itself, post the error details you are getting.. or try to analyse the FM and find the base table so that you can directly use in extraction.
Hope this helps,

Field for selection-generic data source

Hi All,
I have created a generic datasource with 4 fields from VBPA table the fields are
VBELN
PARVW
PERNER
POSNR
and set the delta based on VBELN.
My client want all the fields for slection in RSA3.
Now in RSA3 except VBLN all fields are available for selection.
I tried to select the VBLN field in RSA6 there i can see the selection box is disabled.
Could any one please let me know how i enable this field for selection
Many thanks in advance and pls respond to this as it is very urgent
Thanks
S VR

Hi..
Check whether any one had collected this extractor in Transport.. which is why its in display mode...
And also.. get into change mode in RSA6 for ur DS and then check if u can see that check box is enabled for u?
Let us know the details..
Thanks
Hope this helps

HI
Try to use some time characterstic.
Generic data will support the following delta's.
Time stamp
Calender day
Numeric Pointer(for exmple doccument number,counter etc)

Time Stamp Delta field for Generic Data Source

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to create a Generic Data Source based on view. This view on PA0006 and PA0105 tables.
Will you please suggest me which field i have to take as delta field.
Thanks In Advance.

Also, make sure that whenever a new record is created in those tables, field AEDTM is getting updated with system date else you will miss new records in delta unless there is a change in those newly created records.

Delta Option for Generic Data Source

Hi ,
My requirement is Delta Option for Generic Data Source. This Data Source is getting Extracted from Function Module.
For this requirement I have followed below steps.
1) Added the Field (On which Delta gets enabled) to the extract structure by using Append Structure
2) Enabled Delta On this Filed.
3) If I try to save the Data Source, I have gone to a screen where I am able to see 4 coloumns
a) Selection
b) Hide Field
c) Inversion
d) Filed Only known in User Exit.
By default Hide Field and Filed Only known in User Exit check boxes have been checked.
Would you please tell what is the use of Filled Only known in User Exit check biox.
As My data source is getting the data buy using the Function Module, Shall I uncheck this Check Box.
Thanks and Regards,
K.Krishna Chaitanya.

Hi Krishna,
The "FIELD" should be checked if we write any enhancement in CMOD, so that system can identify that this particular field has enhancement written to it,
But even in real time systems i usually find that even though we check the "FIELD" or not , there is no effect .
So Checking "FIELD" or not will not impose any isses .

To enable delta in generic data source

Hi,
There is a generic datasource created on top of PRPS & RPSCO tables. Currently the extraction mode is 'full update'.
There is no time stamp field available in RPSCO, Please suggest how can I enable delta?

Hi
Make sure at least you have Numeric pointer or time stamp field in your table to make the data source enable.
If you created view on these two tables, then in RSA6 --> open the data source --> goto edit mode.
here you will delta enable check box --> select this check and you can give the field which has to be used for delta.
If you using FM, then you have to write to code in functional module.

Generic Data Source delta is not extracted

Hi,
There is a problem in extracting the delta records using Generic Data Source. Delta records ( New / Modified records ) are not posted in the RSA7.
I'll Explain you the Scenario I have done. Created a generic data source in R/3 using view. In the view there is a field Sales Order No. I have enabled the delta update for this field. In the generic delta i have chosen delta type as Numeric pointer.
Extracted the entire record using full update and after initializing the Delta, it extracts the delta record well ie. it only extracts the sequence of Sale Order No. First I extracted nine records(i.e 10001 to 10009) using full update. again I entered a record in underlying table with sale order no as 10011-10013. It extracts those records into BW system. Then again I made an entry in the table with sales order no 10010. But the record is not extracted. Even though I tried of specifying safety lower limit as -3. Still it not extracting the record(10010).
And what if I posted a value of sale order 10014 with the same. what should I do?? Help on this plz.
--Durai.S

Hi SVS,
Thanks for your reply.
I followed this in my scenario. But I don't understand why it is not extracting? even I specified the safety limit of upper and lower values in the generic delta.
Here the below explanation shows that the delta record can be extracted even if the pointer value is greater than the posted value.
Numeric pointer (last extracted value 10011; Data in underlying table (Max value = 10025) )
Data would be extracted from a min-value of 10010 (lower limit adjusts the last counter 10011 by specified value u2013 1)
max-value of 10020 (after adjustment for upper safety limit u2013 by 5). The current pointer would now indicate 10020 in
RSA7.

Delta Enabled Generic Data Source

Hi All,
I have created one Delta Enabled Generic Data Source with
Function Module. The Delta field is Date Field. The Data source picks data from R3 to BW.
In RSA3, I executed the Extractor with the Delta Type "C" i.e Delta Initialization ... but it is throwing the error "Errors occured during the extraction". I also checked the Display Log and the error message is "Could not determine BW release of logical system".
Moreover I am not able to see the Delta Attributes in
RSA7. I checked with the other delta enabled generic extractors which uses Views .. is found to be working fine ... and I also able to see the Delta Attributes in RSA7.
Any suggestions?
Bye
Dinesh

Dinesh,
Once you have generated transfer rules in BW for the datasource, delta init can be tried out in RSA3. It iwll not create the delta queue though. Only test the initialization.
To do this, once you have created the transfer rules in BW, specify the logical system name of the BW system in the target system field. After that the extractor can be run in RSA3. It is flagged as read only so delta queue will not get created.
Cheers
Aneesh

Delta method preferable for generic data source

Hi All,
I'm working on APOBW ,i need to pull primary sale data into apobw .So ABAP er created a program to pick the data from tables vbrp,vbrk,knvv,mara,marc,t179 and populating into a transparent table.I have created a generic data source using that ztable and then loading data to infocube in APOBW.I need to pull data daily twice.I have fields data and time in the Z table.
Please suggest me how to pull the delta data and let me know if DSO is needed in between before loading to Infocube.
Thanks.

Hi,
For Enabling Delta, while creating the Generic Datasource you have an option of Enabling it to be Delta capable. Select Generic delta at the top and then you would see 3 options of how you want to get your delta records.
It is based on
1) Timestamp
2) Numeric Pointer
3) Calendar Day
Depending what you have in your Table, you can select on what your delta would be based.

How to set the delta for existing generic data source

Hi BW Guru's
I have a problem,actually i have a exsting generic data source"ZFRBHRCHY". Master data Object ZFRBHRCHY is getting laoded from all some R/3 Clusters on a Daily Basis. It is full load and takes 4 to 5 Hours, but number of added records(2000) are very less,while total records are more(40Lks).For avoiding this larger load time every day,i want to implement delta extraction for this.
How to implement this,(i want steps for this) .
Thanks in advance,
Regards
reddy

yeas agree with sanakar,
this field which shankar is talking about must be entry date (if u delta timestamp is date, u will also have to mention this table field name in definition of delta), this means that this field will catch last change to the record, so that it will be delta enabled based on the latest change date. This is very important becuase if u use date like posting date to the delta then back dated posting will not captured in to the delta, as delta for this back date is already been done.
Hope u understand this.
