Diff b/w Infoset and multiprovider BI 7.0 onwards

Hi gurus,
Could somebody tell me the difference b/w Infoset and multiprovider BI 7.0 onwards. I mean earlier we were not able to add cube to an infoset. It allowed us to add only ODS and info object . Since the new version allow us to add cubes too then what is the diff b/w Infoset and multiprovider. Since both of them are full filling the same purpose ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Follow there links.
An InfoSet describes data sources that are usually defined as joins for ODS objects or InfoObjects (characteristics with master data). A time-dependent join or temporal join is a join that contains an InfoObject that is a time-dependent characteristic.
MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider that combines data from a number of InfoProviders and makes it available for reporting purposes. The MultiProvider does not itself contain any data. Its data comes entirely from the InfoProviders on which it is based. These InfoProviders are connected to one another by a union operation.
InfoProviders and MultiProviders are the objects or views that are relevant for reporting.
Infoset- Join
Multiprovider-Union

Difference between InfoSet and Multiprovider

Hello Gurus,
Could someone tell me the difference between an InfoSet and a Multiprovider? And in what occasions we should use these?
Thank you.
DM

Hi David,
1. Infoset and Multi provider physically doesn't have any data.
2. Where they are used?
Ans: they are used for reporting.
3. Why they are used?
Ans: when we want to see a report on a data coming from two or more different tables then we go for infoset or multiprovider.
Example: suppose if there are 2 tables A which contains ( customer id, customer name..etc )
and table B contains ( customer id, material id, material name..etc )
-> if we want a report on cust id , cust name , mat id , mat name in a single report then we go for MULTIPROVIDER ( since multi provider can fetches the data from two fileds )
-> if we want a report on cust id from both tables and cust name from table A then we can go for INFOSET ( since info set fetches the data which is common in both tables and the other data from any table as per req. by using left outer join condition )
So we can go for any in this as per our requirement.
One more thing is that INFOSET can be done on Info Cube and DSO only.
MULTIPROVIDER can be done on data source, PSA , DSO, data target..etc
hope this helps u, and let me know if u need any further info.
Thanks in advance

InfoSet vs Multiprovider Scenario

Hi experts,
I have read some doc about Infoset and multiProvider. For more clear about them, I have find some scenario which should be use Multiproveider only (ex:plan/actual, slow moving product,..) but I can't find out which scenario we can use InfoSet only instead of Multiprovider. Anyone pls tell me to understand clearly about InfoSet. 10 points for helpful scenario

Hi..
InfoSets allows reporting on several InfoProviders by using combinations of InfoObjects (master data-bearing characteristics) and ODS objects via a join condition.
An InfoSet can have following join conditions
Inner Join
Left Outer Join
Inner join and left outer join are only different in the situation where one of the involved tables does not contain any suitable record which meets the join conditions.
Consider ODS object that contains a characteristic PLANT alongside key figures in its data part. In an InfoSet, a join between this ODS object and the characteristic PLANT is defined to enable the attributes of PLANT to be accessed in a report.
If an inner join is now used and if an ODS object record contains a value for PLANT for which they is no entry in the corresponding master data table, this record is not included in the results set. Correspondingly, the key figures of this record would not be considered.
If, on the other hand, a left outer join (ODS object left outer join PLANT) is used, the affected record is considered. However, in this case, all attributes of the (non-existent) characteristic PLANT are initial. Which behavior is correct depends on the type of the evaluation required. Both cases can make sense.

Material master data complete in bi - infoset or multiprovider

Hi all.
for one of the reporting requirement of my client i need to extract the complete material master data in BI - from MARA, MARC, MARD, MSTLB tabls.
which i have done and stored in the infoobjects - 0MATERIAL, 0MAT_ST_LOC, 0MAT_PLANT, 0MAT_SALES.
now user want to see all the information against each material in 1 single line the multiple lines will only come in when there is plant.
which approach i shoul go for this scenario.
infoset or multiprovider.
i created infoset by using inner join but then i see only common materials, left outer join is giving me problems.like -
Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_PLANT)
Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_ST_LOC)
Invalid ON condition for left outer join (0MATERIAL)
kindly give your suggesstions on this.
thanks
dipika

Hello,
There are restrictions regarding left outer join in infoset:
If a left outer join is used, the following restriction applies to the right table (right operand):
·        Only join conditions with exactly one other table can be defined and
·        This table in turn cannot be a right table (right operand) of a left outer join.
Tables connected with left outer joins always form the end of a chain of tables. In this way, as many tables as you want can be linked in an InfoSet with a left outer join to a core of tables that are connected using inner joins.
The restrictions on the definition of left outer joins are due to the technical limitations of databases. These restrictions do not apply to inner joins.

Hi,
infosets are nothing but...it is a link between info objects and data targets(ods,cube)...if we do these link between them only....we can get the report in BEX analyzer...where use the infoset name to get reports...same llike ...to get the report....we can use multiprovider also...but in infoset.. link being the common datas(link between the common primary dats)...in multiprovider...can view all datas in report..there is no links between common datas....here ods is overritable..
further queries...go through this links......

Points wil b rewarded for useful answers.
Thanx in advance.

Hi Pavitra
SY-LSIND
Index of the list that is being created (basic list: 0, detail list > 0). Each time an interactive list event occurs, the system automatically increases SY-LSIND by 1. SY-LSIND can be changed in the ABAP program to navigate between detail lists. Changes to SY-LSIND are not taken into account until the end of the list event. Therefore, any manipulation of SY-LISND should be done using the last command of the processing block.

What is diff b/w abstarct and interface

what is diff b/w abstarct and interface in real time where we come across, give a best real time example

I think there have been lots of threads in this forum discussing interfaces and abstract classes.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=256&threadID=389830
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=54&threadID=5120074

Interfaces define a contract for what an implementing class should provide. Abstract classes do the same but they can also provide some common part of the implementation.

Diff b/w aggretation and compresion?

any one give me the diff b/w aggretation and compresion?,in both sinero we aggregate data, and why rool up, after rool up again we do compresion , i dont under stand taht

Hi,
Aggregation:
An aggregate is a materialized, aggregated view of the data in an InfoCube. In an aggregate, the dataset of an InfoCube is saved redundantly and persistently in a consolidated form on the database. Aggregates allow quick access to InfoCube data during reporting.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/26/4bc0417951d117e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Compression:
When you load data into the InfoCube, entire requests can be added at the same time. Each of these requests has its own request ID, which is included in the fact table in the package dimension. This makes it possible to pay particular attention to individual requests. However, the request ID concept can also cause the same data record (where all characteristics are the same except the request ID) to appear more than once in the fact table. This can be eliminated by Compressing the cube.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/ca/aa6437e7a4080ee10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
First you have to build the Aggregates and do the Compression.
If you do Compression first then what happens is that it deletes all the Requests and transfers records from F Table to E Table.

In LSMW, what is diff between LSMW-BAPI and LSMW-IDOC

hello all
In LSMW, what is diff between LSMW-BAPI and LSMW-IDOC

Hi Swamy,
The differences between IDoc and BAPI are as follows:
IDOC
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system.
Idocs are processed asynchronously and no information whatsoever is returned to the client.
The target system need not be always online. The IDOC would be created and would send the IDOC once the target system is available (tRFC concept). Hence supports guaranteed delivery.
With asynchronous links the sub-process on the client can be finished even if the communication line or the server is not available. In this case the message is stored in the database and the communication can be done later.
The disadvantage of asynchronous links is that the sub-process on the server cannot return information to the calling sub-process on the client. A special way for sending information back to the client is required. In addition, a special error handling mechanism is required to handle errors on the receiving side.
IDOCs may be more changeable from release to release.
IDOCs are poorly documented.
BAPI
BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
BAPIs are called synchronously and (usually) return information.
For BAPIs the client code needs to do the appropriate error handling.
Problems with synchronous links occur if the communication line or the server is temporarily not available. If this happens, the sub-process on the client cannot be finished (otherwise there would be data inconsistencies).
Synchronous links have the advantage that the sub-process on the server can return values to the sub-process on the client that has started the link.
BAPIs are not totally immune to upgrades.
BAPIs are reasonably well documented.
Reward points if useful.
Best Regards,
Sekhar

What is Infoset and How to create

HI Experts
Can any one please explain me what is the purpose of INFOSET in BW
and how to create a info Set between A Info Object and Cube
Thanks

Dear bw user,
Check the below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/084e3ce0f9fe3fe10000000a114084/content.htm
Purpose is,
1.To join required data from basic InfoProviders
2.This allows building a relational BI data model with unified views for reporting (seeveral InfoProviders,but only one view). Therefore, we recommend keeping data in smaller, basic InfoProviders that can be flexibly joined for reporting purposes.
3. To allow BEx Reporting on a DataStore object without turning the BEx Reporting indicator on
4. To evaluate time dependencies (for example, join time dependent master data InfoObjects)
5. To be able to create self joins and left outer joins
Creatind in simple steps
Infoset is a Virtual Infoprovider.
Click on InfoProvider under modeling in RSA1 > Select InfoArea > right click Create Infoset > give name and description.
Select the ODS / Master Data Object or more than one ODS and maintain the link.
Infoset works on Join operation.
you can include Infocube if it is BI 7.

Aslo see this link contents
Creating InfoSets
Prerequisites
Make sure that the objects for which you want to define the InfoSet are active. Create any required InfoObjects that do not
exist already and activate them.
Instead of creating a new InfoSet, you can transfer one of the InfoSets that are delivered with SAP Business Content.
Procedure
1. You are in the InfoProvider tree of the Modeling function area in the Administrator Workbench.
Choose the Create InfoSet function from the context menu (right mouse-click) of the InfoArea in which you want to create an
InfoSet. You get to the Create InfoSet dialog box.
2. Type in the following information for your new InfoSet:
¡ technical name
¡ long description
¡ short description
3. In the Start with InfoProvider section, you determine which InfoProvider you want to use to start defining the InfoSet.
¡ Select one of the object types that the system offers you:
ODS Object
InfoObject
Choose an object.
If you want to choose an InfoObject, it must be a characteristic with master data. The system provides you with the
corresponding input help.
4. Choose Continue. You get to the Change InfoSet screen. For more information on editing InfoSets see Editing InfoSets.
When you create an InfoSet, the system generates a corresponding entry for this InfoSet in the subtree of the InfoArea. The
following functions are available from the context menu (right mouse-click) of this entry:
Change
Delete
Object overview
Editing InfoSets
Prerequisites
Before you can get to the screen where you edit InfoSets, the following prerequisites have to be met:
You have created a new InfoSet.
You have selected the Change function from the context menu of an InfoSet entry in the InfoProvider tree of the Modeling
function area in the Administrator Workbench.
You have called the InfoSet Builder transaction, and selected the Change function. You can find additional information
under Additional Functions in the InfoSet Builder .
Procedure
1. You are in the Change InfoSet screen.
Choose a layout for the InfoProvider tree:
InfoArea
InfoProviders Used
All ODS Objects
All InfoObjects
For more information on the screen layout, particularly the layout of the InfoProvider tree, see Screen Layout: Changing
InfoSets.
2. Use the function Where-Used List via AWB to determine which BW objects use the InfoSet that you have selected. You get to
the Administrator Workbench: Where-Used List screen. You are able to work out what would happen in the system if you made
changes to the InfoSet. This helps you to decide whether or not it is sensible to make these changes at this particular point
in time.
3. You define the InfoSet by inserting one or more InfoProviders into the join.
There are several ways of inserting an InfoProvider into the join control:
¡ From the InfoProvider tree:
§ In the InfoProvider tree, double-click on the entry that corresponds to the InfoProvider that you want to add to the join
control.
§ Use the drag-and-drop function to move the InfoProvider into position.
¡ Choose the Add InfoProvider function, to add a particular ODS object or a particular InfoObject independently of the
current layout of the InfoProvider tree. You get to the dialog box of the same name. Enter the data that the system asks you
for.
If you know the technical name of the InfoProvider that you want to add, this method is quicker than switching the layout of
the InfoProvider tree.
When this function is complete, the InfoProvider that you selected is displayed in the join control. For more information on
the structure of the join control, see Join Control.
4. Define the join conditions. For more information see Defining Join Conditions.
5. You can get general information such as object version, date created and date changed via Goto ® Global Settings. You can
also set the indicator Most recent Reporting for InfoObjects from here. You can find additional information under Most recent
Reporting for InfoObjects.
6. Via the button Documents, which appears on the pushbutton bar, you can access document editing for this InfoSet.
7. You can use Check to check the correctness of the InfoSet definition. The log display is shown in the screen area under
the join control.
8. Save the InfoSet. The log display is shown in the screen area under the join control.
9. Activate the InfoSet. After activation, the system executes the checks. The result of the activation is displayed in the
log in the screen area under the join control.
Additional Functions in the InfoSet Builder
You can also use transaction RSISET to call up the InfoSet Builder when you want to edit an InfoSet. Select the InfoSet that
you want to edit. Value help is available for this. Additional functions are also available to help you edit and manage your
InfoSet.
Compare
You use this function from the main menu to check if the InfoProviders used in the InfoSet have been changed and the InfoSet
needs to be adjusted as a result. For more information, see Matching InfoSets.
Jump to object maintenance
You use the InfoObjects and ODS Objects functions to jump to the maintenance screen for the InfoProviders included in the
InfoSet definition.
Info functions
There are various info functions on the status of the InfoSets:
The Object Catalog Entry
The log display for the save, activate, and delete runs of the InfoSet.
Display in tree
You use this function to display in a tree structure all the properties of the A version (active) of the selected InfoSet.
Header data
InfoProvider and its fields
On condition
Wherecondition
The display is empty, if no active version is available.
Version comparison
You use this function to compare the following InfoSet versions:
The active (A version) and modified (M version) versions of an InfoSet
The active (A version) and content (D version) versions of an InfoSet
The modified (M version) and content (D version) versions of an InfoSet
The Display InfoSet screen appears. Depending on which option you choose, the system displays either all of the differences
between the two versions of the selected InfoSet or all of the properties of both versions in a tree structure.
Transport connection using AWB
You use this function to transport an InfoSet into another system.
The Administrator Workbench: Transport Connection screen appears.
The system has already collected all the BW objects that are needed to guarantee the consistency of the target system.
InfoSet data display
You use this function to access the data target browser. If you have already loaded data into the InfoProviders included in
the InfoSet, you can display this data.
Delete
You use this function to delete an existing InfoSet.
Copy
You use this function to copy an existing InfoSet and, if necessary, edit it further.
Show/hide technical names
You can use this function to show alias names for fields. These alias names are necessary in InfoSets, for example to be able
to map self joins. Field alias names start with F, followed by a five-digit number.
Defining Join Conditions
Use
A join condition determines the combination of records from the individual objects that are included in the resulting set.
Before an InfoSet can be activated, the join conditions have to be defined in such a way (as equal join condition) that all
the available objects are connected to one another either directly or indirectly.
Usually, however, only rows containing a common InfoObject or rows containing InfoObjects that share the same basic
characteristic are connected to one another.
Connect tables T1 and T2 using a join and set as a join condition that the F1 field from T1 must have the same value as F2
from T2. For a record from table T1, the system determines all records from T2 for which F2(T2) = F1(T1) is true. In
principle, as many records from T2 can be found as required. If one or more records are found, the corresponding number of
records is included in the result set, whereby the fields from T1 contain the values from the record from T1 under
consideration, and the fields from T2 contain the values of the records found from T2.
Procedure
There are various ways of defining join conditions:
Using a mouse-click
Position the cursor over a row in an InfoObject. Press the left mouse-button and, keeping the left mouse-button pressed down,
trace a line between this row and a row in another object. Providing that the join condition between the two rows that you
have indicated is a valid join condition, the system confirms the join condition by displaying a connecting line between the
two rows.
Using the Link Maintenance pushbutton
You get to the Link Maintenance dialog box.
In a tree structure on the left-hand side of the screen, all of the InfoProviders that are already included in the join are
displayed along with their fields or attributes. If you double-click on one of these fields or attributes, the system
displays on the right-hand side of the screen all of the fields or attributes with which you are able to create a join
condition.
In the Selection column, set one or more of the indicators for the fields or attributes for which you want to create a join
condition. The system generates valid join conditions between the fields or attributes that you specify.
You use the Delete Links pushbutton to undo all of the join conditions.
You use the All Characteristics or the Basic Characteristics Only pushbutton to choose between the corresponding display
variants.
We recommend that you use the Basic Characteristics Only option. The All Characteristics setting displays all of the
technical options involved in a join. If you are not able to find a join condition on the basic characteristic level, then
the All Characteristics setting is useful, but this is an exceptional case.
When you have finished making your settings, click on the Continue icon.
We recommend this method, because the system searches for all the possible join conditions for any field or attribute that
the user specifies, ensuring that the join conditions are defined without errors.
Using the Context Menu Left Outer Join Inner Join
Usually inner-join operators connect all the objects in a join to one another. You can also connect each object with any of
the many other objects by using a left outer join operator.
You can find additional information about usage and special features under Left Outer Join.
If you want to use a left-outer join operator to connect an object, select the object and choose the corresponding function
from the context menu.
The system displays all of the valid join conditions that originate from this object. The connecting lines that represent
these join conditions are labeled as Left Outer Join . InfoProviders, on which a left outer join condition is affixed, are
differentiated by color from the InfoProviders that are connected using an inner join operator.
If you used a left outer join operator to connect two objects, you have to make sure that all on conditions are linked except
for these two objects with the formulation of join conditions.
Note that you cannot add an object, which you have already connected by using the left outer join operator, to another
object.
If you want to use an inner-join operator instead of the left-outer join operator, select the object that you want to
connect, and choose the Inner Join option from the context menu. Again the system displays all the valid join conditions that
originate from this object, and labels the connecting lines accordingly.
Result
Once the join conditions have been defined in such a way as to connect all the available objects to one another, either
directly or indirectly, the InfoSet is ready to be activated.
You click on the Check pushbutton in the pushbutton toolbar to find out if these preconditions for the activation have been
met.
For objects that are joined by a left-outer join operator, there is one extra condition that has to be met, namely that all
the other objects have to be connected to one another either directly or indirectly.

Diff in IT 0027 and IT 1018 ie.. Cost Distribution

Hello Experts,
My Earlier thread is not found.... so opening another thread........ ( My Question was about -> What is the diff between IT 1018 and IT 0027? If anyone could explain with an example would be great)....
Correct me if i am wrong, from the earlier replies i got an impression of..... we use IT 1018 if we want to distribute costs at the level of position or org unit...... and IT 0027 if we want to distribute by employee.....
I saw for the IT 0027 subtypes like Wage/Salary, Travel Expenses, Planned Cost Distribution, Planned Effort etc.,.
Can anyone explain me with an example in what scenarios will we be using each of thse subtypes.....
Also, what would be the functionality if IT 1018 and IT 0027 in case of concurrent employement???
All inputs are appreciated......
Thanks,
Janga K.

Diff between Thin client and Rich client

Hi Everyone,
Can someone give me a clear picture of the what is the diff between Thin client and Rich client.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi,
thick client (rich client) has/stores all the data inside itself
so it can do application processing without the server with data
thin client uses resources from host computer (from server)
and wihtout that you are not able to work with that kind of client
does that answer your question ?

Diff between Seeburger Adapter and File Adapter

Hi All,
My company needs to interact with some banks and the banks are particular that they want SFTP, which is not supported by File Adapter, so we have decided to go with Seeburger adapter.
Now what are the differences between File adapter and seeburger adapter?
I believe that Seeburger adapter does not support File Content Conversion, Archiving etc.
Could you all pls put some light on the diff between file adapter and seeburger adapter when it comes to dealing with files?
Xier

Hi
You are aware with working of File Adapter.
The most direct way of using the Seeburger adaptors is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to
1. Define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
2. Using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
3. Create a one to one mapping between input en output.
4. Export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI
5. Generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.
