Diff Ways to Create OLAP Universe using BI/BW DataSource?

Hi Experts,
I konw there are two diff ways to create olap universe using BI/BW datasource.
1. Uisng InfoCube
2. Using BEx Query..
so.. I need you help to know when we use InfoCube and When We use BEx Query.
Can you please explain me  in details and give me some pros and cons using each connection ..if there is any documentations please provide me ...
Thanks

Hi sap mdm1980,
The characteristic InfoProvider (0TCTIFPROV) refers to the technical name
of an InfoProvider. In BI, queries can be created on an InfoProvider or an
InfoProvider can be used for reporting.
An InfoProvider is generic term for all the DataTargets and Virtual Providers
(VirtualProvider or MultiProvider). An InfoProvider may or may not contain data.
Infocube is type of an infoprovider
An InfoCube describes (from an analysis point of view) a self-contained dataset,
for example, for a business-orientated area. You analyze this dataset in a BEx query.
An InfoCube is a set of relational tables arranged according to the star schema:
A large fact table in the middle surrounded by several dimension tables.
InfoCubes are filled with data from one or more InfoSources or other InfoProviders.
They are available as InfoProviders for analysis and reporting purposes.
The data is stored physically in an InfoCube

    Is there a way to create, store and use preset messages for use with "Messages". I often have a recurrinig message to send, after a repeating event, and need to enter the same short message each time. It would be nice to have this short message stored and selectable so that I do not need to enter each time.

  • Is there a way to create scripts to use tmconfig...

    Is there a way to create a script to execute tmconfig and change CLOPTS parameters
    for a particular server?
    Here is what I would like to accomplish. Want to set "-r" option to a limited
    number of servers, on an as needed basis. I do not want to bring down the environment
    and update the ubbconfig file. The support people are not familiar with tmconfig.
    So, I would like to create a script to turn the "-r" option on when needed and
    restart only those servers and then turn it off once the debufgging is done.
    Is there any command other than tmconfig, which I could use to accomplish this?

    If you've got perl on your machine, you can download the tuxedo perl module and
    write perl scripts to call tuxedo services. There's also a tuxedo::admin module
    at cpan now.

  • How to create olap cube using Named Query Table in Data source View

     I Create on OLAP Cube using Existing Tables Its Working Fine But When i Use Named Query Table with RelationShip To other Named query Table  It Not Working .So give me some deep Clarification On Olap Cube for Better Understanding
    Thanks

    Hi Pawan,
    What do you mean "It Not Working"? As Kamath said, please post the detail error message, so that we can make further analysis.
    In the Data Source View of a CUBE, we can define a named query. In a named query, you can specify an SQL expression to select rows and columns returned from one or more tables in one or more data sources. A named query is like any other table in a data source
    view (DSV) with rows and relationships, except that the named query is based on an expression.

  • Is there a way to create an object using Trapcode Form and then use that object as a particle in Trapcode Particular?

    I made some objects in Cinema 4D and I tried to import them into After Effects CC 2014.  I get an error saying 'Cannot find Adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link'.  So I tried it in AE CC and that worked.  However, I want to create a form object and then use that as a particle for Trapcode Particular.  Is this even possible?
    Thank you for any help!

    There are also size limitations or rather suggestions for particle size. If I were creating an animated 3D shape using Form or C4D and wanted to use it as a particle I would keep the size of the particle about 1/6 to 1/8 of the comp size. You would create a new comp for your particle, animate it, then nest the particle comp in your main comp, turn off visibility, and then use it as a particle in Particular.

  • Is there a way to create Preflight Profile using Java Script / C++ SDK?

  • Is there a way to create address labels using data from a Numbers document?

    I'd like to print mailing labels for holiday cards and my wife created the list in a Numbers spreadsheet.
    Is there any way to export to Pages or some other label printing application?
    Thanks.

    Righty-ho. This is based on a spreadsheet like this with named columns in Numbers 3.5. (The rows must be consecutive - the script moves on as soon as it sees an empty row):
    With the spreadsheet open, run the following AppleScript. It will create a group called Christmas List in Contacts, and then import the name and address data from the spreadsheet, adding each person to the group:
    tell application "Numbers" to tell front document to tell active sheet to tell table 1
      set all_contacts to {}
      set row_count to count rows
      repeat with each_row from 2 to row_count
      set nu_contact to {}
      set first_name to value of cell each_row of column "First"
      if first_name is missing value then exit repeat
      copy first_name to end of nu_contact
      copy (value of cell each_row of column "Last") to end of nu_contact
      copy (value of cell each_row of column "Address1") to end of nu_contact
      copy (value of cell each_row of column "Address2") to end of nu_contact
      copy nu_contact to end of all_contacts
      end repeat
    end tell
    tell application "Contacts"
      set group_exists to (every group whose name is "Christmas List")
      if the result is {} then
      make new group at end of groups
      set name of the result to "Christmas List"
      save
      end if
      repeat with each_contact in all_contacts
      activate
      set nu_person to (make new person with properties {first name:item 1 of each_contact, last name:item 2 of each_contact})
      save
      make new address at end of addresses of nu_person with properties {street:item 3 of each_contact, city:item 4 of each_contact}
      save
      add nu_person to group "Christmas List"
      save
      end repeat
    end tell
    Contacts will look like this:
    With the Christmas List group selected in Contacts, go to the Print menu and choose the label format you want:
    Once the labels are printed, select all the names in the Christmas List Group and press the delete key:
    Click the middle "Delete" button and the contacts will be gone.You can then delete the Christmas List group itself.
    This can also be done in Numbers 09, but the script would have to be modified slightly.
    Hope it helps,

  • Quickest & Easiest Way To Create & Publish website using Illustrator Designs?

    HI there
    I am a newbie & more conversant in premier pro than webiste development, however I though I would give it a go. I have watched that many Lynda.com video's I think I have confused myself!
    I have created all of the pages I need for my website in Adobe Illustrator & saved them as illustrator documents & HTML also.
    I have tried just using a blank page HTML with no columns & liquid centre, however whenever I look at the view my design is only showing up to the left hand side of the screen, not centred at all. Am I meant to put it into a container, or a box around it so it will expand with different browser sizes
    I am concerned that perhaps the design itself is too fixed, ie 856 x 554 & that is the problem?
    I, ridiculously, have a friday deadline with this & I am feeling fairly pathetic given I am stuck on the 1st step!(Wel not quite, I managed the design & vid editing!)
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to create ADF Table using a bean

    Hi,
    I am using JDev 11g 11.1.1.2.0.
    I am reading an excel sheet and want to generate an ADF table using the same. I already have hold on excel data.
    But when I go through the RichTable API, I find that there is no method to add Columns and Rows. Most or all the methods work on the table UI Looks attribute.
    Any suggestion? Am I missing a method OR 2 here?
    Pls note: The excel (CSV file) using which I am populating my table, will vary for different user. i.e.
    say user 1 will upload a CSV file with 7cols and 100 rows while
    user 2 will upload the CSV file that has 2 cols and 100 rows.
    Hope this makes it clear of my requirements and why I want to populate the table from a bean.
    Thanks in advance.
