Doubts reg Delta

GM All,
I've seen several posts regarding delta's in the forum but coulnt get a clear picture..my doubt is:
With respect to V3:
1.Once initialization is done does delts gets into delta queue automatically or does we need to run an IP?
2.when we run an IP for delta does the data be fetched from delta queue i.e RSA7 in R/3?
3.Is there any queued delta which comesinto picture before deltaqueue(RSA7) if so what's the use?
Plzzzzz clarify..
Madhavi

Hi Madhavi,
1Ans:
When ever you done the initial Load then delta will enable automatically at BW side and also you can check at RSA7. then we can do delta loads
2Ans:
Yes, delta record come from RSA7
3Ans:
Yes,
in LO Cockpit here delta methods are 3 types
1 Direct delta : delta records directly comes into RSA7.
2 serialized delta : delta records comes into SM13 and than thru V3 Job, records come into RSA7.
3 queued delta : Delta records comes into LBWQ than into RSA7 thru V3 Job
I think u may get an idea about your questions.
Let me know if you have any doubts.
Thanks,
Raju

Doubt reg Delta : what abt changed things?

Hey Experts,
One basic doubt regarding Delta: plz Help .
I want to do delta on say order number based on timestamp.Also these orders can be changed later. So say order 1000 has been fetched yesterday, but its changed today again..(say its value is changed..) so will my delta fetch this order again?
Thanks
Quick help is really needed!!!

Hi,
Yes it will. Delta will bring whatever changed with the order, but you need to make sure that there are no filters in place to say extract only confirmed orders, etc.
Cheers,

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

Doubt Reg Generic Delta "Safety Interval" Setting

Hi Experts,
I have a doubt regarding Setting "Safety Interval Upper Limit" and Lower limit in RSO2 for generic delta.
What does this setting imply?
If I do setting for calender day say both 1 then wht will be difference between delta before setting amd after setting?
Plz explain in terms other tham help provided...
Points will be awarded to say thanks..
Thanks in advance,
Sorabh

Hi Sorabh,
Here some SAP informations:
Safety Interval Upper Limit of Delta Selection
This field is used by DataSources that determine their delta generically using a repetitively-increasing field in the extract structure. The field contains the discrepancy between the current maximum when the delta or delta init extraction took place and the data that has actually been read. Leaving the value blank increases the risk that the system could not extract records arising during extraction. Example: A time stamp is used to determine the delta. The time stamp that was last read is 12:00:00. The next delta extraction begins at 12:30:00. In this case, the selection interval is 12:00:00 to 12:30:00. At the end of extraction, the pointer is set to 12:30:00. A record - for example, a document- is created at 12:25 but not saved until 12:35. It is not contained in the extracted data but, because of its time stamp, is not extracted the next time either.
For this reason, the safety margin between read and transferred data must always be larger than the maximum length of time that it takes to create a record for this DataSource (with a time stamp delta), or it must display an interval that is sufficiently large (for determining delta using a serial number).
Safety Interval Lower Limit
This field contains the value taken from the highest value of the previous delta extraction to determine the lowest value of the time stamp for the next delta extraction. For example: A time stamp is used to determine a delta. The extracted data is master data: The system only transfers after-images that overwrite the status in the BW. Therefore, a record can be extracted into the BW for such data without any problems.
Taking this into account, the current time stamp can always be used as the upper limit when extracting: The lower limit of the next extraction is not seamlessly joined to the upper limit of the last extraction. Instead, its value is the same as this upper limit minus a safety margin. This safety margin needs to be big enough to contain all values in the extraction which already had a time stamp when the last extraction was carried out but which were not read. Not surprisingly, records can be transferred twice. However, for the reasons above, this is unavoidable.
Extracted Data Delta Type
The system uses the delta type to determine how extracted data is to be interpreted in BW, and into which data targets it can be posted.
A distinction is made between the following:
1. Additive delta
The key figures for extracted data are added up in BW. DataSources with this delta type can supply data to ODS objects and InfoCubes.
2. New status for changed records
Each record to be loaded delivers the new status for the key figures and characteristics. DataSources with this delta type can write to ODS objects or master data tables.
Check also examples in "How to... Create Generic Delta" under www.service.sap.com/bi.

Doubts in delta in source system

Hello All
Iam not clear in one of the delta process how it works in the source system
Suppose if an invoice or sales order has been created and on the same day this has been cancelled then how many records ( i mean the LUW's)will this maintains in the RSA7(delta Queue)
Q2
Suppose if an invoice or sales order has been created and on the same day this has been chnaged then how many records ( i mean the LUW's)will this maintains in the RSA7(delta Queue)
Please let me know
regards
Swami

Hi Allen
Thanks for your valuable info.,Yes the LUW will be one only.But am asking like in that LUW's how many records wil that maintain
Anyhow am giving one example can you please me with that,so that it will be clear to me,thanks a lot
Suppose for example a Sales order ( 12345678)is created with Net value as 1000 has been created in the source system . and now the sales order has been cancelled,now how many records it will be maintained in the RSA7 ?
In case of Cancel of the SO
Will this have in RSA7 as
12345678------->1000
or
12345678------->1000 and
12345678------->-1000
In case of changed of the SO
Suppose for example a Sales order ( 12345678)is created with Net value as 1000 has been created in the source system . and now the sales order has been changed the netvalue to 700 ,now how many records it will be maintained in the RSA7 ?
Will this have in RSA7 as
12345678------->1000
or
12345678------->1000 ,
12345678------->-1000 and
12345678------->700
Please let me know in this regard

Reg : delta field for vbbe table while creating generic extractor

hi
i want to know which field should i use to do delta from vbbe table.
do i have to ask my functional consultant for what field should ibe using or
should i decide on my own
your answer would be defintely rewarded
thanks a lot
pallavi

Hi,
I would suggest you to create a new sales document and try to find out how does it the new entry is entered in VBUK, VBUP, VBEP and VBBE tables. Also, try to change / modify and delete existing record and see the changes in the table. You need to check which date fields or any deletion indicator is set / modified or not. Do all this one by one and see the changes in the tables. Also, all these changes will be logged in change log table such as CDHDR and CDPOS. This will have all the history of changes for one sales document. Once you identify all this then it will be very easy for you to identify the delta fields. The other way is to speak to functional consultant and ask him how all these tables are affected when you change / modify / add / delete records.
Hope this helps.

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.

Reg: Delta Loading

Helo Gurus,
In BI 7.0
When we use delta laoding, we are doing the delta initialisation in infopackage to load data to PSA. and then we create another PSA for delta loading. In that case we are not deleting any of the PSA requests na..?
From there we just need to keep loading type delta for DTP's to load DSO and to Cube? There no delta initialisation has to be done.. I think so.. If in the case of full update how to automate the deletion of contents before full updating data again. We are scheduling using process chain.. I think no other way is available...
Is there anyway to trigger the loading to DSO and Cube once the data is pulled to PSA..?

Hi mathew
PSA will be only one in our architecture in BI 7.0.The data in PSA will be store temporarily for some time and it will be deleted automatically.If the changed records come,the new records will store as it is.If there are any old ones again
it will overwrite because of the delta type datasource we r using.If ur loading any delta records,first u have to do Init with out data transfer and then delta update in the Infopackage Update tab.
In the case of full update,we can delete the data in targets with the help of adding process type to delete contents in targets in our process chain
Hope this helps

Doubt on Deltas from ODS to CUBE

Hello Experts.
I have few Questions on Deltas. from ODS to CUBE
I have 3 Cubes ( X, Y, Z ) which gets Deltas from ODS ( A ) . i have extended the cube X so i have deleted data and Reloaded it. I have to do Deltas from ODS to Cubes from now on.
in the ODS manage ( there is Tick all connected data Targets to this Request is been Delted now ).
if i reinitalize the delta with out Data Transfer. will only the data which come now on to ODS( A ) will be going to cubes( X,Y,Z ) are all the data in ODS will go to Cubes.
Please Advice me.
Thanks
Sharp

Hi,
When you are loading the delta from the ODS, the data is taken from the changelog. These records are the + and - records generated as a result of the new data loaded and activated in the ODS. So, if there were any changes made to the existing records these will flow to the cubes as well.
If you do the init without data transfer, you need to couple that with the full load to create the initial status of data in the cubes.
Hope this helps...

Doubts reg. Web Intelligence rich client.

Dear Experts,
I have seen in BOW310 Document "Web Intelligence Rich Client lets you continue to work with Web Intelligence documents (WID) when you are unable to connect to InfoView, when you want to perform calculations locally rather than on the server".
Now my Doubts are:
1. If we are not able to connect to InfoView then how will data come to WEB Rich Client in offline mode to perform the calculations?
2. Suppose Webi Rich Client is connected to the Server ie., in connected mode (not in disconnected mode) then calculations will be performed on the server or locally.
regards
Sam

Hello Sam,
If we are not able to connect to InfoView then how will data come to WEB Rich Client in offline mode to
perform the calculations?
The Webi Rich Client will allow you to work in offline mode if you have connected at least once to the relevant CMS. When you connect to the CMS, your security information is stored in an LSI file. It this LSI file that decides whether you have access to open a report.
When you're in offline mode (and have appropriate rights on the CMS), you will be able to
1. Create/ refresh documents if you have the appropriate universes and db middleware on your machine.
2. Only view, edit and save documents if you do not have the universes/ middleware. I.e. you can only work with data already saved with the report.
Suppose Webi Rich Client is connected to the Server ie., in connected mode (not in disconnected mode) then calculations will be performed on the server or locally.
This depends on how the Webi Rich Client (WRC) is launched.
1. If the WRC is launched via InfoView, then the WRC uses the same session as your InfoView session (no login is required), connects to the CMS over HTTP. All calculations are performed on the server.
2. If the WRC is launched locally (i.e. from the Start Menu / an icon), then communication with the CMS occurs via the CORBA framework. Your machine needs to have the middleware to connect to the DB and calculations are performed locally (on your machine).
Best,
Srinivas

Reg Delta from ODS to Cube

Hello , experts.
I am doing delta Load from ODS1 to Cube1, delta got failed. and in the ODS we have data. i want to reload it or i want to do repeat delta .
Problem is in the ODS its Marked that request as updated to data targets. in this case how should i proceed to repeat delta. i need steps to do this.
Thanks
Sharp

Hi Sharp,
try to remove the mark (via ODS - manage - remove the 'mark' and update the data from ODS to the target cube again (ODS - right mouse click - check delta update option).
Hope it helps.

Reg delta in process chains

Hi,
I'm doing a flat file extraction. The data flow is from Flat file to ODS and then to cube. I need to create a process chain to automate the process.
As per my understanding, the load from a flat file to the ODS is always Full update. Am I right?
The first load we are planning to do a Full upload manually, after which we plan to automate the process using process chains.
Please provide me with inputs on the steps to create a delta from the ODS to the cube.
Thanks.
Darius.

Hi,
Welcome to SDN.
You can autmate the process by having the flat file in the appl server. Flat file data source supports delta as well which is also called Pseudo delta.
If you wish to load your flat file in full update you can still load deltas to cube from ODS.
For this, run a inititliazation w/o data transfer from ODS to Cube and then create a delta IP from ODS to cube.
While creating a process chain, follow this procedure
Start> Load info package ( flat file)> Activate ODS--> Delta IP to Infocube.
hope this helps

Doubts reg: payement term

Hi all,
I have a requirement to create a payment term 30 Days, 3 % Cash Discount .
This means if payement is done with in 30 days 3% discount will be given.
But there is no specification of net days here. SO does that mean that net is 31 days?
Also, for this, while creating payment term in OBB8, should I maitain in the Payment term tab,
Trem1. Percentage 3% NO. Of days 30
Is there any thing else that needs to be maintained?

Hi ,
In OBB8 the payment terms tab decides the actual payment term conditions .
In the percentage you have to maintain the discount percentage and in the No. of days you will have to enter the number of days from the baseline date thay you want to provide discount upto.

Doubts reg idocs

HI experts,
Where we implement te code for idoc(creation).?please tell me

Hi,
Are you using a custom idoc or standard idoc? If you are using standard sap idoc then SAP provides FM for this. If you want to check the FM name, you can check based on the process code in transaction WE41 ( process code for outbound idoc )
If you have created your own IDOC you write your own FM using transaction SE37.
Let me know if you need any other information.

          //return 4;
when i call this function, it will printing 3... why ??
and also compilation error is coming when i put return statement after final block.. why is it so??

but if commented the return statements in catcch and finally then it iam not getting any compilation error.
