Missing Data Target in Infopackage for Update ODS Data in Data Target Cube

Hello & Best Wishes for the New Year to all of you,
I have 3 ODS (1 on Full Update and 2 with Delta Updates). All these 3 ODS update data to a single CUBE. In my development system this works correctly. Data load from PSA to ODS to Cube.
Now I transported this to my QA and Production System. In QA and Production System, I am able to load data upto all the 3 ODS and ACTIVATE Data in all these 3 ODS.
When I am trying for "Update ODS Data in Data Target" to load data from ODS to Cube in QA /PD, the system created Infopackage (ODS to CUBE), doesnot get the Data Target details. (Initial Upload / Full Upload). The Data Target Tab is Blank (expected Cube details).
I have tried to transport again after deleting the update rules.
Can you suggest what could be the problem ?
regards - Rajesh Sarin

Thanks Dinesh,
I have the ODS to CUBE Update Rules ACTIVE in the QA and PD system. Still the problem exists only in QA and PD. In DV the ODS to CUBE Data Target is available in the Infopackage and loading the data correctly to Cube.
Listing all the trials I have done :
1) Originally transported with all the Collected Objects. Inspite of having Active Update Rules, Data Target Cube was missing in QA and PD.
2) After this problem, I again transported only the Update Rules through the Transport Connection, still the problem didnot get solved in QA and PD.
3) Again, I sent a transport to delete the Update Rules which deleted the ODS to CUBE update rules in (DV), QA, PD. After that I sent another request to CREATE the ODS To CUBE UPDATE Rules in (DV), QA and PD. Still the Data Target is missing, inspite of having Active Update Rules in QA and PD.
In DV the ODS to CUBE Data Target is available and loading the data correctly to Cube, even now.
4) I have also tried "Generate Export Data Source" for the 3 ODS in QA and PD. Still it doesnot help.
Can you please suggest ?

Update data targets from ODS object automatically

Hello experts,
I have an ods (that has two delta loading every night) with the setting: "Update data targets from ODS object automatically". This ODS is source of only one other ODS.
But we have a chain when there are the seguent steps: delta 1 --> ODS1,
delta 2 --> ODS1; Activate ODS1; delta --> ODS2; Activate ODS2.
The setting "Update data targets...automatically" could create some problems?
I think this because it is happened that in delta loading of ODS2, some records have only the key filled, and all the data fields blank; then, if I make a full repair of these records, all data are correctly filled.
Could be this the cause?
Help me..it is urgent..
Thanks,
Vito

Hi Vito,
To have better control of processes when ods gets data from multiple sources and supply it forward to ODS and cube ...we generally deactivate the flag "update data automatically".
And Process chains looks like ..
From source 1,2,3 update data into ODS 1.
Activate Data ODS1
Initiate delta from ODS1 to ODS2.
Activate data ODS2.
We did face some problem of blank records with only key filled and later deactivated the checbox "Update data into data targets automatically" and it resovled lots of issues.
Hope that helps.

Mr Kapadia
Assigning points is the way to say thanks in SDN.

Update data targets from ODS

Hi Friends,
I have question regarding how to update data further from ODS.
I have ODS1 and ODS2.
ODS1 is having deltas updated from ODSA.
ODS2 is a new ODS and now needs to be updated from ODSA.
I have reviewed the help already.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/749bbb595511d4b2bc0050da4c74dc/content.htm
I want to initially update the ODS2 with selection conditions from ODSA.
After that I want to load delta from ODSA to ODS2 by automating the process in process chain.
Please help me know, What is the optimum solution and what are the steps need to be executed.
Thanks,
John.

Anil,
I am just repeating the procedure to cinfirm that I understand it properly.
1. Go to scheduler, Initialization option make the status of the overall request red.
2. when it asks for update the QM status to all data targets, select no.
3.and then delete the init. request from Scheduler.
By doing this we just deleting the initialization selection and the request in the subsequent data targets are still green and they contain data.
After that Init. without data transfer will do the work.
Please confirm,
I really appreciate your input on this.
Thanks.

Technical Design Review Question: Data target Mapping and transformation

I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
In the discussions of Data target Mapping and transformation, there was a table of characteristics, showing dimensions, BW filed, Source field, data type, etc.
1. What is the technique in deciding which characteristics get grouped together into a particular dimension?
2. Why do some dimensions only have one characteristic and what is its significance?
3. I saw one BW field, OVAL_TYPE (description= valuation type) included in three dimensions: Customer, Material and Valuation Type(only field=OVAL_TYPE). What is the significance of this repetition?
Thanks

Morning,
To define Dimension means, to group all characters together, which do have a relationship "1 to n" and not "n to m" to reduce data volume (cardinality). If you reduce cardinality (which means to define 1:m relationship whenever it is possible and group them within one common dimension) you increase performance (make performance better) because of less data volume. It is essential to understand that this can not be changed easily after definition in PROD. So data modeling is also from this point of view very important.
Example:
An accounting object has a "m:n" relation ship to the accounting partner object. that's the reason way accounting object and accounting partner object do not belong to the same dimension.

Link Between PSA and Data Targets

Hi Experts,
Could you please help me is there any table which will have PSA & data target (Cube or ODS) details.
I know the table which will have data target manage screen details and other table wil give the details like data loaded into till PSA.
But i want to know any SAP table will have link between PSA & data target.
I want to know if the request is loaded till PSA or it is loaded into data target.
Any table will give details like PSA request no, if target is there then some kind of flag like....
Please let me know if any one know the table which will have PSA as well as Data target details.
Thaks in Advance
Shaik

Hi,
I clearly mentioned im aware of Manage screen details table, i want link between PSA and Data target table which will return if requst loaded till PSA or PSA & target.
Im using BI 7.0 .

Difference Between data target and infoprovider

Hi Experts,
I am new to BW
What is the difference between data target and infoprovider
Thanks and Regards,
saveen

Hi Saveen,
InfoProvider is an object on which BEx queries are created. It provides information (data) to the queries when they are executed. InfoProviders may contain data (like cube) or may not contain data (like multiproivder and InfoSet).
Data Target is an object to which you will load the data, like cube, ODS or InfoObject. But it is not necessary that each data target is an InfoProvider...like you may have ODS objects that are not enabled for reporting, but you are loading data to them for staging purpose.
Hope this helps...

PSA request updated to data targets but not showing

Hi All,
It must be a basic question for BW support activities. However appreciate if someone can help me out as I am unable to find similar post.
In PSA the request shows it successfully updated to a data target but I can't see the delta request in the data target (Cube)- Manage.
This is a delta request. Can someone tell me how do I load the data back in to the cube? Do I need to delete the request from cube and run it again but I guess the deltas will be lost.
Help. pls give me all the steps in detail how do I fix this.
Thanks,
B

Hi,
There are two options.
1. at PSA find how many records are exist for your request.
Note/down load the records into excel if you have countable. As my guess delta records might be less.
Later thru repair full request you can load to PSA and then to target.
AT repair full request we need to use proper selections to load required records only.
2. PSA Request must be stored at back end table.
in that table if we can change update further status then we can do the psa request to target thru delta dtp.
Thanks

Direct vs Indirect data load from ODS - InfoCube

We know that there are two options to load data from ODS to InfoCube:
1. Direct load:
If the ODS setting is checked with the option of "Update data targets from ODS object automatically", then when loading data to ODS, then the data also can be loaded to the InfoCube, in this way, only one InfoPackage is needed to load data to the ODS, then the InfoCube can be filled with data automatically.
2. Indirect load:
If the ODS setting is NOT checked with the option of "Update data targets from ODS object automatically", then not only the InfoPackage to load the data to the ODS is needed, but also the InfoPackage to load data from the exported datasource of the ODS to the InfoCube is needed to be created in order to load the data from ODS to the InfoCube.
I wonder what are the pro and con between the above two loading methods from ODS to InfoCube.
Welcome to every BW expert inputs!

HI Kevin,
Direct Loads or rather Automated Loads are usually used where u need to load data automatically into the final data target. And it has no dependencies.This process has less of maintenance involved and u need to execute a single infopackage to send data to the final data target.
But Indirect Loads are usually used when u have a number of dependencies and this ODs object is one of the object in a process chain. So if u require the this ODS data load wait till some other event has been executed , then indirect loads are used through process chains.

Unable to load data from an ODS to a Cube

Hi all,
I am traying to load data from an ODS to a cube, and I'm getting the following msg at the bottom of the screen monitor: "No corresponding requests were found for request REQU_BZUH9ZPYNL5XLQNB7K8IQDKFS in the ODS/Cube" Message no. RSBM043.
I am unable to load the data. The QM status is yellow. When the process starts, on the left hand of the monitor it shows: "0 of 84408 records" which is ok. I load that with this package before and it works well.
Can you help me what I have to do? I tried to wait but it was the same: no progress and no data in the cube.
Thank you very much and kind regards,
MM.
May be this helps...
When I look at the status, it says that I have a short dump at BW. It was CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR and the short text is "The function module "SUBST_TRANSFER_UPGEVAL" cannot be used for 'remote'". This short dump occurs very much before I shoot the upload.
Thanks again.

Hello MM,
Can you do the following..
make the Total status Red Delete the request from cube.
goto ODS -> Remove the Data Mart Status -> Try loading it again.
The error message that you get is common when we are trying to run a infopackage with the source object having no new request, (means all the requests available in the source are already moved to the targets). So please try the steps given above.
Hope it will help!

How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.

We are on BW 3.5 and I'm loading data into the 0FIGL_O10 ODS and then uploading the data into the cube 0FIGL_C10. The data loads just fine to the ODS but when I try to 'update the data target' I get a date & time stamp' error on the info-package transfer rules.
I then Replicate the datasource 80FIGL_O01.
I must then 'activate' the transfer rules.
However I cannot get the transfer rules for 80FIGL_O10 in CHANGE MODE to activate them.
How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.
The error text is as follows:
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 has to be replicated (time stamp, see long text)
Message no. R3016
Diagnosis
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 does not have the same status as the source system in the Business Information Warehouse.
The time stamp in the source system is 02/15/2007 10:42:33.
The time stamp in the BW system is 11/07/2006 13:11:54.
System response
The load process has been terminated.
Procedure
Copy the DataSource again and then activate the transfer rules that belong to it. You have to activate the transfer rules in every case, even if they are still active after the DataSource has been copied.
Thanks for your assistance.
Denny

How to Delete the Data in Cube and in ODS

Hi ALL,
I have a cube and an ODS both the data targets have data from the year 2002 to 2005.now i want to delete the data from both the data targets with respect to data related to the year 2003 only,how can it be done. Any Help Appreciated with rewarding points.
Regards,
BW Seeker.

Hi
Generally we can delete the data in the request for the data of year 2003 from request tab in manage screen of datatarget. This can be done only when we are sure that that particular request/s belongs to 2003 year data.
This can be better handled with selective deletion of data for year 2003 with some keyfields like 0CALMONTH etc..
This is infact only way when you have already compressed the data in Infocube.
Hope it helps...

Delta Upload request from ODS is not including the Data target of planning

Hi,
I have a process chain in which there is a delta upload from ODS to 3 different data target. One of the data target is the planning cube. last 2days back i have changed the process chain schedule after was the Delta request is not hapenning for Planning cube. The process chain contains the changing the planning to load mode and load to planning mode. Every thing is working fine but the Delta is not happening for the Planning cube. Delta request are going correctly to the Other 2 data targets. Now it was like Delta has excluded the Planning cube. Another this there is nto planning package is appearing in the Infousources. and when I am trying to upload manually from ODS to Data targets it say that No delta is there. Please help me in this. This is a production problem. I have checked all the data monitors every thing is from but no delta is hapenning for the planning cube.
Thanks
Naveen.

APD Process for Cube - ODS data transfer.

hi,
Two data sources (cube and ODS) are feeding another ODS. I want to delete the data in Data target (ODS)belongs to that particular infosource for every data load if it comes from the same infosource without using process chain or events. (I want the similar option found in cube). I also want to write some complex functionality (ABAP CODE) in start routine of update rules.
Bhanu suggested me to use APD Process. Can any one (including BHANU) explain me in detail about APD Process. Please also give me navigations.
Regards,
Avneet

Hi Avneet,
You can read details about the APD here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/49/7e960481916448b20134d471d36a6b/content.htm
Basically you can get to the APD from transaction RSANWB. Start creating a new process using a query as the source of data. You can provide a transactional ODS as a data target and you also have the opportunity of changing the data using predefined functions, or also ABAP code before loading into the ODS.
Hope this helps...

How to update DSO data in Data targets (ODS data into Data Targets)

Hi,
In 3.5 version we have a option Update ODS data in Data Targets
to Transfer Data From ODS to Info cube.
In 7.0 How to transfer DataStore Object data to Info Cube, I can't find
Update DSO data in Data Target option.
can any body Help me to solve this problem.
Thanks
prasanna

Hi prassna,
0RECORDMODE are auto generated infoobjects which are requried to be mapped if you are going for a delta update from your DSO otherwise you can proceed further without mapping the 0RECORDMODE and neglect the system generated warning
check this for the Creation of data targets
 In left panel select info provider
 Select created info area and right click to create ODS( Data store object ) or Cube.
 Specify name fro the ODS or cube and click create
 From the template window select the required characteristics and key figures and drag and drop it into the DATA FIELD and KEY FIELDS
 Click Activate.
 Right click on ODS or Cube and select create transformation.
 In source of transformation , select object type( data source) and specify its name and source system Note: Source system will be a temporary folder or package into which data is getting stored
 Activate created transformation
 Create Data transfer process (DTP) by right clicking the master data attributes
 In extraction tab specify extraction mode ( full)
 In update tab specify error handling ( request green)
 Activate DTP and in execute tab click execute button to load data in data targets.
cheers
