Doubt reg the Info Cubes

Hello, Experts.
I few Doubts Regading, Cubes.
We have a cube which is getting Loaded from APO Every day. Now business has asked us to Chage the Data Source for Few Key fig and they want
few more char and they have removed few Char which are not really used for this Key fig.
In this case shall i use the same cube and create a new Data Source ,Info source,Update Rule /or/ go and Create a New cube?
they want few Key fig from the Old Data Source and Few from new Data Source.
and few Char are same in both the data Source. like Division, Sales Org, Customer, new char are Flavours, region, .... which are not in the existing cube.
Please Suggest me.
Thanks
Sharp

Sharp,
The general rule of thumb is if it is similar kind of data, and you are just adding few additional chars/key figures, it is better to just change the existing cube. One the other hand, if the data from the new data source is different, it is better to create a new cube. For example, if you have Plan data in a cube at the WBS level and the requirement is to now load the Plan data for the activity/actiity element, I would just add the activity/element to the existing cube. Instead, the requirement is to now add the Actual data, I would create a new cube and report off of the multi-provider.
Also, you mentioned that the data from the new source will not have some of the existing charactersitics populated, in that case your cube will be sparsely populated for the new data source.
Think about the volume too. If the volume from the new source is big it is better to create a new cube. This will be better in terms of maintenance.. For some reason, if you have to drop just the new data and reload and if they are in separate cubes, it is a lot easier. Otherwise, it puts a restriction on compression, etc.
I would say, consider several different factors like, data relevancy, how many new char/key figures, data volume, load restrictions, reporting requirement before you decide.

Take the memory card out of the camer and put it in a card reader. When it mounts on the desktop select it and try to change the name. However, that might make it incompatible with the camera. You'll just have to try and see.

How to find the activity of the Info cubes or any other Info Provider

Hello everyone,
Is there anyway to find out the last activity date of the info cube or any other info provider?
One way is through tools--> Statistics for BI (But this is not working as I do not have enough authorizations in the office)
So, can anyone please give me a way to know the last activity date of all the Info Provider so that respective action can be taken on the Info Provider according to their usage.?
I also need the Procedure to know the activity of the queries also?
Hope to get an answer soon..!
Thanks in advance..!
Deepak

Hi,
Are you looking actvity related to (Data retrival or data load)? (When the last time data loaded in Info provider or when the last time query is executed on that Info provider)?
If this is your requirement then BI statistics is only way to find out so get the authorization for the same.
If your need is -- last changed/llast data load etc.. then you may check the option "last changed at" at in Info provider maintinence, and data load dates.
I hoep it will help.
Thanks,

How the master data of multi language is shared in the info cubes

hi frindz,
how the master data of multi language is shared in the info cubes
bye bye
venkata ramana reddy.G

Hi Ventak,
In the infocube you have the key. Then you have a text master data table that has as key (for the table) the key of the value (the one in the cube) and the language, and the text in that language as another field (short, med, long).
Hope this helps.

How to delete the compressed Request ID in the info cube... ?

Hi BW Gurus,
one of the info package will upload the request in to three data targets and failed due to error with duplicate records. I am able to delete the bad request in two data targets and facing problem with one data target due to the request is available in green and got compressed.
The reasons why i am unable to delete the request in that data target is it is already got compressed and rolledup.
I tried with selective deletion based on same request ID i have done that successfully but the request still presents in the data target. I have checked in listcube and found no data for the request id.
now i have one more question like the request has bring down to status not ok in the monitor and done selective deletion will it be a problem on the data missing please advise me if any data missing will occur for the particular data target.
can any one help on this. Thanks in Advance.
Venkat.

Hi Venkat
You have one way to delete the compressed request
But this is possible only if u have the request in PSA
If the request is in PSA, do reverse posting
This will nullify the particular bad request by changing the press sign into - and - sign into + for all the records went in the cube for that particular request

Hi Raj,
Use T code : LISTCUBE
you get 2 text boxes, Object type : CUBE
Data Target : cube name
Check the option - Technical names. F8
You get all the technical names in the place of descriptions,
hope this is fine

Find out the name of the info cube with the query name

hey,its a very general question..how to find out the name of the infocube or ods if we have the name of the query...and how far is sq01 helpful for this...thanks..

Tom,
There are many ways... but, SQ01 is not one of them (unless someone has built a query for that).
1) Transaction RSRT, paste the technical name of the query, and hit enter. InfoProvider name will be inserted by the system.
2) Open the query in BEx and look at the properties.
3) Metadata Repository
4) Table RSRREPDIR

Small doubt reg the script

Hi all...
in my form i have two pages.
1. First
2. Next
what i need is , i want to display one window(name XXX)in last page only.
Exactly what it means is, if the line items(in main window) is sufficient space in first page then i will print XXX window in first page. If not then i need to print in the last page.
If it solves my problem i will award u..
regards,
Arjun Jain.

hi,
I didn't get ur requirement exactly,
what i understood is if there is sufficient space in first page after displaying all the line items,then want to DISPLAY XXX window in 1st page else display it in 2nd page
I am assuming it as a Paragraph.
In that case write the code of XXX in between PROTECT ENDPROTECT tags in main window only at the end (after the code for line items).
if after displaying line items space is there, XXX data is displayed automatically in that page only,otherwise whole data gets displayed in the next page automatically..
If it is a footer text,
u can give it in seperate window as u wish and adjust that window to the bottom of the page and proceed as above.
do assign points if it helps you

Deleting the latest request from info cube.

Hi All,
In our project, we have data from May 2012 to till date. Data is freezed and there is no change of data till May 2014. And there is change in data for current month only ie) June 2014. So i have pulled the full load from May 2012 to May 2014 and loaded in the Info cube.
I am deleting the current month data and loading only the current month data to Info Cube. So i want to delete the current request in the info cube before loading and load only the current month data.
Can you pls guide me how to achieve this through Process chain. I am unable to identify which process type will suit my requirement.
Thanks.

Hello Vincent,
As mentioned by you, that there is no change in data from May 2012 to May 2014, you can keep the request which contains this data(for Example Req1). If Request2 contains data from May 2012 to June 2014 then you need to delete this request i.e Req2 and load only data for June 2014. Later you can follow below mentioned process.
Now coming to option which you are looking for process type to achieve this via process chain, there is a process variant called "Delete Overlapping Request", which is used to delete data from the target based on certain condition depending requirement.
Hope this resolves your issue. Below document explains steps to achieve the same.

Unable to see the request in Reconstruction Tab of Info Cube

Hi Experts,
We are scm 5.1 version.
Actually I have created extraction process to extract data from Demand Planning area. I have extracted data from planning area also. I can see the request in to PSA as well as Info Cube but I am not able to see the request in reconstruction tab.
Is there any setting to see the request in to Reconstruction tab of the info cube?
Please advise..
Regards
Sujay

Hi rathy,
Is there any way to support the equivalent of reconstructions with the new BW 7.0 design?
I will explian in detail..
Reconstruction is critical functionality for our current DP solutions, it allows us to "reconstruct" old requests from the backup InfoCube (based on what's been kept in the PSA) and use this to restore data in the planning area to a day in the past. It is used whenever there is a technical or user error than needs to be un-done. I believe there is a way to accomplish with the BW 7.0 design.
Please suggest...
Thanks in advance..

How to check the size of an info cube?

Dear all
Is there any t-code which can be used to see the total disk space occupied by a specific cube?
I know ST14 can be used for the TOP 30 cubes and stuff.
but my cube is not in top 30.....so how should i see the total size of my cube in bytes?
please help me...i need it urgently
Please dont recommend the SAP note on Sizing...i have it...the caliculation gave me wrong answer!
Total Points assured!!!!
Edited by: reddy reddy on Jan 27, 2008 9:34 AM

Hi,
we can calculate the size of the info cube.using this information
Each keyfiure occupies 10 Bytes of memory
Each Char occupies 6 Bytes of memory
So in an Infocube the maximum number of fields are 256 out of which 233 keyfigure, 16 Dimesions and 6 special char.
So The maximum capacity of a cube
= 233(Key figure)10 + 16(Characteristics)6 + 6(Sp.Char)*6
In general InfoCube size should not exceed 100 GB of data.
While considering sizing, you must consider factors like years of data rewuired for reporting, acceptable repsonse time, database limitations, archiving options, etc.
pl read this document:

Hope this helps,

Info cube key figure quantity is more than the data source

Hi,
I am loading data from a custom table data source into an info cube. The data records and key figure quantity of the info cube is more than the data source custom table.
I checked the extraction in RSA3. The number of records records and key figure quantity are exactly extracted from the data source in RSA3 transaction.
But after loading using the info package, the number of records and the key figure quantity of the info cube is more than the actual records available in the data source. The update rule is simple 1 to 1 mapping.
Kindly help to troubleshoot this issue.
thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi,
There could be some other data already avilable in the Infocube. Pls take the Request ID or Number from the last run of the Infopackage you used and check the records only for that Request ID in Infocube.
You can check the data in the LISTCUBE Transaction.
Please let me know of you need additional information.
Thanks,
Jeysraj
