Delta loading in info cube

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to load a cube 0fiar_c03 using delta mechanism. In the infopackage i have given as initialize delta process and while i tried to delta in extraction mode it is saying that delta mechanism is not possible and please use full update. Whether delta load is possible in this cube or should i follow some other procedure for delta load.
Regards,
Raghavendra.

Sanity check the datasource you are using is DELTA capable itself.
After that ,create IP as INIT to load data from ECC to PSA
create DTP - DELTA to load from PSA to Infocube (no need of creating INIT DTP)..

I need format for data in excel file load into info cube to planning area.

Hi gurus,
I need format for data in excel file load into info cube to planning area.
can you send me what should i maintain header
i have knowledge on like
plant,location,customer,product,history qty,calander
100,delhi,suresh,nokia,250,2011211
if it is right or wrong can u explain and send me about excel file format.
babu

Hi Babu,
The file format should be same as you want to upload. The sequence of File format should be same communication structure.
Like,
Initial columns with Characteristics (ex: plant,location,customer,product)
date column (check for data format) (ex: calander)
Last columsn with Key figures (history qty)
Hope this helps.

Load to Info cube - Error

I am trying to load from DSO to an Info cube. The records doesnt have error and but the process always gets terminated and gives the follwoing message:
Error while updating to target ZPU_C01 (type INFOCUBE)
Processing Terminated
Its not able to create "Error DTP" as well since there are no errors.
Any suggestions?

Hi.......
Hav u Debug the request..........In the DTP Monitor............click on Debugging in the top.............
How is system performance..............Check Short dumps in ST22..............and System Log in SM21..........

Data is not loaded into info cube

Hi All,
I have a custom defined info cube and full load is running every month and It's hardly taking 1 hour to finish the same.
But this month data came to PSA successfully from there to data target process stopped at update rules, non of the records are getting added to info cube. We haven't done any changes on update rules also.
Can anybody let me know what might be the reason behind it. Thanks.
Regards,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
You can do the following:
1. In the Monitor Status tab, turn the request Red.
2. In the Details tab right click this data package and choose Manual Update.
3. After the processing is done, the datapackage will be green but the overall request will still be red.
4. In the Monitor Status tab, turn the request back to original status (this will make it green)
Hope this helps...

Flat File: no data load into Info Cube

Hi there,
i try to load a flat file. When I simulate the upload its works well. But no Data was load in my Info Cube. When I try define a query there are no available.
Can someone provide me with a solution for this problem?
With rgds
Oktay Demir

Hi Oktay,
in addition to A.H.P.'s marks, check if
- Data is posted not only into PSA but also into datatarget,
- updaterules are active.
- Check Monitor-Status in Cube-Administration
- Check availabilitiy for reporting of the request wthin Cube-Administration.

Loading in Info Cube takes huge time

Hi,
We are loading transactional data in the info cube ZFI_C01 from a DSO ZFI_O05
We loaded around 1.8 million records ( 1776444 ) through a request in the DSO ZFI_O05 that took around 13 minutes including activation of that request.( Note that flag for SIDs Generation upon Activation was checked and so, SIDs were generated for all the characteristics in the DSO during activation )
When we loaded the same request to the cube ZFI_C01, the request took around 3 hours to finish.
I did RSRV Checks for the infocube ZFI_C01 to find out the ratio between fact table and dimension tables.
( goto RSRV->all elementary test->database->database info abt infoprovider table->give the cube name ..check the log it gives the ratio between fact table and dim table... )
I got the following results for the two of the dimensions that are involved in the cube:
Table /BIC/DZFI_C013 has 1564356 entries; size corresponds to 86% of the InfoCube
Table /BIC/DZFI_C012 has 1649990 entries; size corresponds to 91% of the InfoCube
When I checked the properties for both these dimensions, the checkbox "High Cardinality" and "Line Item Dimensions" were unchecked.
I can not check the checkbox "Line item Dimension" as both these dimensions are having more than one info characteristics.
Shall I check "High Cardinality" checkbox and retry loading as ratio of the dimension table to fact table size is more than 20%.
But I am bit unclear what impact it will have on reportin

Hi there,
Check if you have any routines with code (start routine, end routine, etc.) that can have huge load performance.
Also check in sm50 when you do the load to the InfoCube if you're having several reads to the table NRIV and/or to some specific dimension tables. If so, find out what are the entries for buffer number range to those dimension tables, and after repeat the load (cancel it meanwhile) to the infocube, go to transaction SNRO and keep in buffer range 500 of sixe to those buffer number range. Repeat the load.
Try to see if it hepls,

Initialize Delta Load in Info Package

Hi,
I want to create 2 info packages for my load from datasource.
One with setting " Initialize Delta load with data transfer " in info package for my first load.
Second info package should be with " Delta Lad " which i am not finding in the second info package i am creating. Can you please tell me how can i get this setting as i am getting only Full or Intialize delta load only.
Regards
Syed

Make sure the following:
1) DataSource is Delta Enabled
2) An Init (or an Early Init) has already been done successfully. You should see the entry in RSA7 of the Source ERP
You should then be able to get the Delta option in the InfoPackage

Delta loading unsuccessful from cube

hi all,
I am using a delta load from one planning cube to another.When the changed records are of a magnitude of 100 then it is successful but when the records are of magnitude of 100000 then it stays yellow with no data records sent and eventually fails.the packet size is 20000.
any help is appreciated.

Hi ,
do Reintialization of delta loading.... and also check out infopackage.

Delta update for Info cube, How it will be works, what are mode to select.

Hi all,
              How delta update works for info cube, Generic data source delta update options are
              1) time stamp
              2) Calday
              3) Nemeric pointer
Please explain briefly delta update for infocube and delta init and delta update.
Thanks,
Gowda

Hi,
How delta update works for info cube
When you are updateing the data to cube from ods then data would extracted from change log their delta pointer get setup in the source request (in Source you can check the option beside the reqest says updated to target object.... it means the records are updated to target hence we would not update the same request )
Incase of PSA to cube Also in the PSA request get stamped as last updated .
Regarding Generic Datasource
When we don't find any standard extractor then we can go for Generic(if i want information sales along with finance information in a data source then generally we dont get standard one hence we can go for generic DS)
Check the below link for More about generic DS .
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/Generic+Extraction
for Delta capturing you can use
Timestamp(if the table has time stamp filed so it can stamp the last changed record in that table hence it is easy to get delta based on the time stamp)Calday- (If the table doesn't have the Timestamp filed then search for Calday where you can stamp the delta based on the date when documents are changed )
Numericpointer : If the table doesn't above both then we go for this option where you can the numeric value change stamp )

Delta records are not loading from DSO to info cube

My query is about delta loading from DSO to info cube. (Filter used in selection)
Delta records are not loading from DSO to Info cube. I have tried all options available in DTP but no luck.
Selected "Change log" and "Get one request only" and run the DTP, but 0 records got updated in info cube
Selected "Change log" and "Get all new data request by request", but again 0 records got updated
Selected "Change log" and "Only get the delta once", in that case all delta records loaded to info cube as it was in DSO and gave error message "Lock Table Overflow" .
When I run full load using same filter, data is loading from DSO to info cube.
Can anyone please help me on this to get delta records from DSO to info cube?
Thanks,
Shamma

Data is loading in case of full load with the same filter, so I don't think filter is an issue.
When I follow below sequence, I get lock table overflow error;
1. Full load with active table with or without archive
2. Then with the same setting if I run init, the final status remains yellow and when I change the status to green manually, it gives lock table overflow error.
When I chnage the settings of DTP to init run;
1. Select change log and get only one request, and run the init, It is successfully completed with green status
2. But when I run the same DTP for delta records, it does not load any data.
Please help me to resolve this issue.

Delta loading procedure from Write Optimized DSO to Infocube

Hi All,
We are using Write optimized DSO in our project to which I am loading data using Standard DSO 0FI_GL_12
From Write optimized DSO, we are loading delta records into Infocube, please provide your inputs to my following questionnaire:
1) I am quite interested to know how the delta records gets loaded into infocube whenever we are using 'Write optimized DSO' as we don't have any image concept in Optimized DSO
Ex: If am using Standard DSO, we have Change log table and image concept will allow to get updated value to Cube
let us assume
Active Table
111            50
111            70 (overwrite)
Change Log Table
111            -50        (X -- Before Image)
111             70    ( ' ' -- After Image) symbol for after image is 'Space'
So if we load this record to the target as a delta the above two records from change log table will get loaded to the CUBE and Cube will have 70 as the updated record
If am using 'Write Optimized',
Active Table
111            50
111            70 (overwrite)
When this record loaded to the cube, as Info Cube is always having 'Additive' feature so the total value will 50+70 =120 which is wrong?
Correct me what feature will work here to get updated value as '70' into Cube from Write Optimized DSO'
2)As the data source is delta capable and having 'ADDITIVE' delta process, only the delta records based on REQUEST ID are loaded into Info Cube with the updated key figure value?
Thanks for your inputs and much appreciated.
Regards,
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
In best practice, we use WODSO in Initial layer and then Standard DSO. Just for mass data load/staging purpose.
In best practice : Data source ----> WODSO ---> std. DSO
In your case : Data source ----> Std.DSO -----> WODSO.
In both cases if data load design is not in accurate way, then your cube will have incorrect entries.
For ex: today 9 am : 111, 50 (in active table)
Data load to cube, same day 11 am : then cube will have 111    50.
Same day, value got changed in std. DSO 1 pm :   111   70(over write function @ active table).
Same day/next day if you load data to cube, it will have 2 records one is with value 50 and other would be 70. So to avoid such scenarios we should plan load in accurate way. Else make change your DTP settings as ‘source table : change log table.
Coming to your case:
Once after the load to Std. DSO, load data to WODSO by changing the DTP settings ‘Delta Init.Extraction from’ : Change log.
Now data available @WODSO from change log table, then you load to cube In delta mode.

Doubt in Delta Loading !

Hi,
I have a Doubt in Delta Data Loading
Please check the following Procedere is Right / wrong ?
I did Full Load it is successful.
I am doing Delta Loading.
For the Business Content Info Cube 0COPA_C01 --
CO-PA: Published Key Figures I am Loading the Data.
I am doing INIT & Delta Load.
This cube has the Data source 1_CO_PA_110_BILDA
I had checked in RSA6 : 1_CO_PA_110_BILDA
ExtractStruct : ZOXGDV0108
Direct Access : D
Delta Update is check -
First I Created a info package --
In Update Tab
Update Mode
Full Update
Delta Update
Initialize Delta Process
Initialization with Data Transfer
Initialize without Data Transfer
I have choosen Initialize Delta Process -- Initialization with Data Transfer
Then For the DTP --
In DTP -- Extraction tab -- Extraction mode is set to Delta.
There is no difference in Records when I loaded Full/Delta.
showing same records.
is the Right Procedure I followed !
When Next time I load Delta then I need to follow the Same procedure ?
Thanks
prasanna

Hi Prasanna
I thought that u r in to Bw 3.x
Ny ways in this case u should create a proces chain..
and schedule it in the start process it self .
Still there is one ancient option like define the subsequent process in the in fo pak
schedule once the PSA request is sucessfull then put a Event and then place the
same event in the start process or scedule process of DTP.
But as per Expert Suggestion U should Go for Process chain.
Thanks & Regards

Delta Load on DSO and Infocube

Hi All,
I would like to know the procedure for the scenario mentioned below.
Example Scenario:
I have created a DSO with 10 characteristics and 3 keyfigure. i have got 10 Customers whose transactions are happening everyday. A full upload on the DSO was done on 7th October 09. How can i load their changing data's from 8th Oct to till date to DSO? and what will be the situation for the same in the case of Infocube??
Step by step guidance will be a great help
Thanks in advance
Liquid

Hi,
The key-fields take an important role at DSO level alone as you get the power of overwritting records. Once thats done at the DSO level you can simply carry on with a Delta load into the cube from your Change Log table and you don't have to worry about anything. Just to add, all the characteristics in the cube are key-fields so you will get a new records for each different value only the key-figures will sum up for a set of all the same characteristics.
Thanks,
Arminder

DELTA Load gives wrogn values Where as FULL load gives right for FI Report.

Pls help!
I am trying to calculate Opening Balance for FI AR postings for which i have coded in end routine in Transformations.
The new fields OPENING BALANCE CREDIT/DEBIT get values from my routine.
However the problem I am facing is,
I only Get Correct VALUES for the OPENING BALANCE only when I DO FULL LOAD.
If i do delta load ,i get wrong values.
Thank you for reading.

Hi,
When you make delta load, you are just getting unexisting FI data. But I think that you need all the data in the cube to calculate the opening balance for the day.
Therefore, I don't think that delta load is a good way if you calculate Opening balances.
If you want to use delta load , fill the cube and then create another cube being filled from that cube(which is loaded with delta) and implement your routine between this two cubes.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Init Data Upload from ODS to Info cube

Hi,
When i am trying to upload the date from ODS to info cube using initial upload option in info package, i am not able to see the selection option fields.
Whereas using the same ODS & info cube, if i am trying to change the option to full upload in info package, i am getting all the selection fields.
what could be the reason for the same.
please help
Rajiv

Somnath,
Let me explain u the complete scenario
1) we have an existing ODS which populates an info cube on daily basis (delta upload)
2) we have created a new info cube, which fetch the data from the same ODS. that means 2 info cubes which are getting populated from one ODS.
3) now when we have tried to initialize the new info cube from the existing ODS, it asked us to delete the initialize upload options "scheduler - initialize option for the system". & we have done the same. but by doing this, ODS has removed the option of delta upload from old info cube upload info package && new info cube initial upload is not dislaying any of selection fields..
4) now, i have a query
- how can i activate delta on old info cube (without losing any data)
- how to upload data in new info cube with selection fields and start delta
Regards
Rajiv
