Field Selection in Generic Data Source

HI Gurus,
I created a Generic Data Source for Text master data upload and checked language key as selection so that I can use this field in Info Package on BW side to upload data for a perticualr language. I dont see any field in Data Selection tab of Info package.
Any help in this regard?
Thanks

Hi Raj;
This is standard procedure...when you have checked the selection on your datasource; you should be able to see the field in your Infopackage. Try to see if you have others column also got checked for example: hide column for this field; if it is uncheck it. Also after you have done this change make sure you save the datasource and replicate it in BW side. Try to crate also a new Infopackage ...just in case.
Hope this helps.

  • Delta field not enabled for selection in  generic data source

    Hi
    I have created a generic data source for the table VBFA....and for the delta pick up i have put the delta option as CALDAY on the field ERDAT...and  i have  selected that field for the selection option. but after i made it  delta enabled the selection option got disabled.
    Now when i check the info package delta selection tab that date column is not apperaing.
    But when i have to run the info package for the first i dont want all the data as it has a huge set of data.
    I wanted to  take only this months data.
    So is there any option to be set to enable this selection in info package.
    please suggest.
    Regards
    Shilpa

    Hi there,
    That's the stardard behaviour. If you use delta based om ERDAT, that field won't be available for selecting.
    You could for example try to build a view over VBFA, and let the field ERDAT there and another field, for example ZERDAT (that is just another alias for ERDAT). Create the delta based onyour view over the field (ERDAT), but you can still control the restrictions over the extractore with your ZERDAT.
    I don't know if this is possible, this is only an assumption.
    Another option could be first to create an extractor based on the table VBFA but without delta, that field ERDAT would be available. Do your full data restricting it, and after that, change your datasource to use deltas based on ERDAT. It will be unavailable than, but since you've already loaded previous full data, you could than use your delta like it is. But here, remember, your deltas will bring new and change data based on ERDAT. If it brings delta based on changed data over ERDAT to a record that you didn't brought over your full (only some data), it will be incorrect records.
    Also just an assumption, did not try it.

  • More than one field in generic data source

    Hi All,
    We wanted extract Allocation data for the sales order from R/3 to BW. I am not able to find proper data source for it... there are two datasources..we wanted afs specific datasource
    2LIS_11_V_ITM  :  Sales-Shipping Allocation Item Data
    2LIS_11_V_SCL :  Sales-Shipping Allocation Schedule Line
    But its not reflecting allocated quantity at all...
    So we decided to create generic data source.. but there is one problem for some allocation ARUN is initial.. so i cann't use ARUN as delta field... can i use comination of  Sales order no,Item and Schedule line number as delta field....
    Because in RSO2 i can define only one field as delta specific field....
    How to proceed ???
    Regards,
    Viren.

    Hi,
    If you decided to use generic data source, make sure that, U'll have to take only
    one filed as a delta, I suggest, you take any date field rather than the value fields
    it may be created date/change date and so on so forth..

  • Generic data source with float field possible?

    Hello,
    when creating an generic data source using a view with a float field I get error R8359 (extract structure: You tried to generate an extract structure with the template structure .... This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field ... refer to a different table.).
    I changed the data element from ATFLV to e.g. FLOAT but it did not help.
    SAP hint 335342 deals with this issue, but I just want to use the float number without the unit.
    Is this possible or do I need to write a function module?
    Best regards
    Thomas

    Hi,
    you could try to add the unit table and field to your view. When saving the datasource in RSO2, you can choose to hide these fields if you don't want them extracted into BW.

  • Issue with Safety Upper limit for CALDAY Field for Generic Data Source

    Hi,
    I have given Upper limit as 1 for Calday field of one of the Generic Data Sources.
    I have got a doubt here.If today's load got failed and I will rerun the load next day.So Will that new run captures all 2 days records.
    Can any one advise me on this.
    Regards,
    K.Krishna.

    Hi,
    A one-day upper safety interval determines that an extraction run today, only fetches records up to yesterday (if the pointer has the day before yesterday date, the extraction comprises from the day before yesterday to yesterday).  This is meant to avoid missing records that were about to be persisted in the database when the delta extraction is running but whose date was determined in memory before the delta started.
    If pointer has today date value and you want to load data from today and yesterday, you should use a lower safety interval.  Take into account that this could reload data previously extracted.  Therefore, only InfoProviders with overwritting features (DataStores or InfoObject master data) should be used as targets of this extractions.
    You can find further details at:

  • Time Stamp Delta field for Generic Data Source

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to create a Generic Data Source based on view. This view on PA0006 and PA0105 tables.
    Will you please suggest me which field i have to take as delta field.
    Thanks In Advance.

    Also, make sure that whenever a new record is created in those tables, field AEDTM is getting updated with system date else you will miss new records in delta unless there is a change in those newly created records.

  • Currency field in Generic Data Source

    Hi All,
    I have a case here, where i have few Amount field in my Generic Extractor which is based on a table ZXXX.
    Now the key figures have 0currency appended in theie currency tab which is coming from table ZYYY, now while saving the data source is giving error that the extract structure is not proper, reason being the base table has no currency field and the kf's need to have one currency field to assign to it which is coming from some other table.
    One sloution is create an FM based extractor, but we dont want that.
    Can any one suggest any work around without any FM or View??
    Thanks,
    Neha.

    if your table have currency field with different reference table and field mean
    you have to create view
    Diagnosis
    You tried to generate an extract structure with the template structure eg:XXXX(table). This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field XXXX(fileld) refer to a different table.
    Procedure
    Use the template structure to create a view or DDIC structure that does not contain the inadmissable fields.
    1.Create the view
    2.Add the currency field and currecy key field also
    3.Create the generic data source in RSO2

  • Generic Data Source and InfoPackage Data Selection

    Hello,  I'm trying to extract data from a generic data source (composed of a view joining 4 tables) using the Data Selection Criteria in an infopackage.  Sometimes the selection criteria is ignored and more data is pulled than expected.  The number of selectable items in the generic data source has been reduced (in case this was an issue) and for a short time the infopackaged pulled the expected number of records.  Then another change was made to the generic data source and the problem returned.  In any case, the transported generic data source does not work in the target system either.  I'm not sure what is causing this to happen.  Any ideas???  BW 3.5.

    Hi,
         Some of the datasources will not have  default Infopackages for them.You can create the infopackages according to the requirement.There is no big deal for creating Infopackages.You can go ahead creating them.

  • Selection in the Generic Data Source does not work

    Hi gurus,
    I have some problem with the selection in the Generic Data Source.
    I have created a view as a base of a Generic Data Source.
    This view is based on several table; i.e.: VBUK-VBELN (Sales Order number), VBAP-ERDAT (creation date of Sales Order), VBAP-POSNR (Sales order item), VBAK-BSTNK (Customer Purchase order number).
    In the view, some join conditions have been defined: VBUK-VBELN = VBAK-VBELN, VBUK-VBLN = VBAP-VBELN.
    I want to extract the Sales Order number, Sales order item and Customer Purchase order number for the Sales order created on the previous year.
    On the Generic Data Source, I select VBELN (Sales order number) and ERDAT (creation date of sales order) as selection.
    However, when I run the extractor checker (RSA3) on this Generic Data Source, the selection does not work at all, i.e.:
    eventhough I restricted the Sales order number and/or the creation date of sales order, the generic data source ignores the selection criteria and extract ALL data.
    Does anyone ever have similar problem? Did I miss some step in the Generic DAta Source creation? How to fix this problem?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Best regards,
    Fen

    Hi Fen,
    Just check what is the output you get for the same selection for the view you created.

  • Regarding: Loading data from R/3 To BI for a Generic Data source

    Hi Every,
    Need Help Urgent
    I had created a Generic data source with function Module as the data source, in Rsa3 it is working fine.
    1-> I had replicated the data source to Bi then i had created a info package and then I executed the same. when it is getting the data and it is show in the request monitor (Number of records )  but the status is not changing from Yellow to Green.
    Status in Step by step analysis is every step is green Except "Data selection successfully finished ?"  (RED)
    2-> Then I had seen the Back ground job in Source system which is executing still. I waited for it for a long time but nearly 30 min.
    (I had done Steps one and 2 number of time by activating replicating the data source and so on, but still their is no change in it)
    3-> Then I had canceled that back ground job with the help of BASIS (as i feel that it is something going wrong).
    4-> I feel that their is some thing wrong in the Code of Extractor.

  • Extraction, Flat File, Generic Data Source, Delta Initialization

    Extraction, Flat File, Generic Data Source, Delta Initialization
    I have couple of questions regarding data extraction.
    1.     If you have Data Source a Flat File e.g. Excel file I know that you have to create Data Source at BW side. How do you upload updates, by selecting Delta Update when executing next Data Load? Do you ever u201Cconvertu201D this Excel file into Application Tables to become SAP Source 
    2.     Can you please give me example of situation where you had to create Generic Data Source? What is difference between Time Stamp, Calend. Day and Numeric Pointer. Which one is most common to select?
    3.     I read somewhere that Generic Data Source does not have Setup Table. I thought that you have to have Setup Table in order to load transaction Data otherwise you will lock the Application Tables. Where am I going wrong im my thinking please?
    4.     What are steps in terms of IP before, under and after Delta Initialization. I belive that you can do two ways:
    Full Update - Initialize Delta Process (without Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update  or
    Initialize Delta Process (with Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update
    Am I right? What is most common method and why?
    5.     If you want to add a filed in Data Source after 6 month using it, you want to do it without re-init Delta Queue. You add field in RSA6, then provide info for ABAP to populate new filed (info u2013 name of Data Source, Extract Structure, field added, name of Application Table which contains the field). How does it work now as there is no SetUp table it has been deleted after Initialisation? How does Delta Queue know that it is going to receive data which has been  expanded by one field or it may does not need to know at all?
    THANKSSSSSSSSSs

    Hi,
    1. If you have Data Source a Flat File e.g. Excel file I know that you have to create Data Source at BW side. How do you upload updates, by selecting Delta Update when executing next Data Load? Do you ever u201Cconvertu201D this Excel file into Application Tables to become SAP Source
    Once you create Datasource for A flat file extraction then it is file source system specific hence you cont change to Application table source Data source
    In info package you can change the source as application server instead of desktop no need to change the DS
    2. Can you please give me example of situation where you had to create Generic Data Source? What is difference between Time Stamp, Calend. Day and Numeric Pointer. Which one is most common to select?
    When we don't find any standard extractor then we can go for Generic(if i want information sales along with finance information in a data source then generally we dont get standard one hence we can go for generic DS)
    Check the below link for More about generic DS .
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/Generic+Extraction
    for Delta capturing you can use
    Timestamp(if the table has time stamp filed  so it can stamp the last changed record in that table hence it is easy to get delta based on the time stamp)
    Calday- (If the table doesn't have the Timestamp filed then search for Calday where you can stamp the delta based on the date when documents are changed )
    Numericpointer : If the table doesn't above both then we go for this option where you can the numeric value change stamp )
    3. I read somewhere that Generic Data Source does not have Setup Table. I thought that you have to have Setup Table in order to load transaction Data otherwise you will lock the Application Tables. Where am I going wrong im my thinking please?
    Generic datasource nothing but we extracting data directly from the database table without any interface between the application/systems
    4. What are steps in terms of IP before, under and after Delta Initialization. I belive that you can do two ways:
    Full Update - Initialize Delta Process (without Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update or
    Initialize Delta Process (with Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update
    Am I right? What is most common method and why?
    Correct
    5. If you want to add a filed in Data Source after 6 month using it, you want to do it without re-init Delta Queue. You add field in RSA6, then provide info for ABAP to populate new filed (info u2013 name of Data Source, Extract Structure, field added, name of Application Table which contains the field). How does it work now as there is no SetUp table it has been deleted after Initialisation? How does Delta Queue know that it is going to receive data which has been expanded by one field or it may does not need to know at all?
    Once you add the new field to structure(DS) you will get the data as on date onwards not historical data hence what is the concept of setup table  ( delta records come from the Delta Que not from the setup table )
    If you want histaric data to new field then you need to setp table deletion ...etc...
    Hope it is clear..

  • FUNCTION MODULE CREATION FOR GENERIC DATA SOURCE

    Hi BI gurus,
    I am creating function module for generic datasource. For that I followed below mentioned steps
    Steps
    1.     Created s structure with the fields that needed.
    2. Created FM by copying the standard Function module
    " RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE " and Give a New name starting With
    Y or Z .
    3. IN SE37 ->Your Function module name -> Change, In table tab given structure
    name by deleting the associated type given in “E_T_DATA “.
    And inserted the required code given below
          PROGRAM 'ZHU_BALANCE'.
    *& Report  ZHU_BALANCE
    TABLES: VEKP, VEPO.
    DATA: BEGIN OF T_DISPLAY,
          DATE   LIKE SY-DATUM,
          EXIDV  LIKE VEKP-EXIDV,
          LGORT  LIKE VEPO-LGORT,
          WERKS  LIKE VEKP-WERKS,
          END OF T_DISPLAY.
    DATA: ITAB_DISPLAY LIKE TABLE OF T_DISPLAY.
    DATA: WA_ITAB_DISPLAY LIKE LINE OF ITAB_DISPLAY.
    SELECT VEKPEXIDV VEPOLGORT VEPO~WERKS
           INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB_DISPLAY
           FROM VEKP AS VEKP INNER JOIN VEPO AS VEPO
             ON  VEKPVENUM = VEPOVENUM
             AND VEKPWERKS = VEPOWERKS
           WHERE VEKP~VSTEL = SPACE
             AND VEKP~VEGR1 = '401'
             AND VEKP~VPOBJ = '12'
             AND VEKP~STATUS = '0020'
             AND VEPO~VEPOS = '000001'.
    LOOP AT ITAB_DISPLAY INTO WA_ITAB_DISPLAY.
    WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-DATE = SY-DATUM.
    MODIFY ITAB_DISPLAY FROM WA_ITAB_DISPLAY TRANSPORTING DATE.
    ENDLOOP.
    WRITE:/ 'DATE', 20 'EXIDV', 40 'LGORT', 60 'WERKS'.
    ULINE.
    LOOP AT ITAB_DISPLAY INTO WA_ITAB_DISPLAY.
    WRITE:/ WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-DATE, 20 WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-EXIDV , 40 WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-LGORT, 60 WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-WERKS.
    ENDLOOP.
    While checking the function module it’s populating the syntax error as
    THE TYPE “SRSC_S_IF_SIMPLE” IS UNKOWN. (Though this is commented in program)
    So pls suggest
    Regards,
    praful

    hi indira,
    thanx for ur reply we have created the funcion module successfuly it is also showing the output correct. But when we put that function module in the generic data source and try to extract data in RSA3 it shows the correct output of function module but with the msg ' 0 entries found in customer enhancement' and therfore zero records in the display list.
    is there any correction or steps to be followed in data extraction
    pls suggest
    regards,
    praful

  • Generic Data Source Creation Problem....URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello BW Experts...!
    I need to create a Generic Data Source out of a table called VBSEGK... I was trying in the usual way with RSO2 , but when I press save button after entering the Table name the following error is coming:
    " Invalid Extract Stucture Template VBSEGK of Data Source ZPARK_01"
    and when I click on the error message its showing
    Diagnosis
    You tried to generate an extract structure with the template structure VBSEGK. This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field DMBTR refer to a different table.
    Procedure
    Use the template structure to create a view or DDIC structure that does not contain the inadmissable fields.
      VBSEGK is a standard table , so I cant change the Table structure. Can any one give me some idea of how to create Data source with this table ASAP ASAP please....
         Please ask me questions if you didnt get this...
    thanks

    Hi Harish,
    Please check OSS note 335342.
    Symptom
    The creation of a generic DataSource which is extracted from a DDIC view or a transparent table terminates with error message R8359:Invalid extract structure template &2 of Datasource &1
    Other terms
    OLTP, DataSource, extractor, data extraction, generic extractor
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The problem is caused by a program error.
    Solution
    The table or view used for extraction must have currency and unit fields within the field list of the table/view for all currency and quantity key figures.Otherwise the consistency of the extracted data cannot be ensured.To make the generation possible, check whether all key figures of your table refer to unit fields that are within the field list.If this is not the case, there are two possibilities:
    1. A table is used for extraction.
    Create a view in which you have a currency / unit field contained in the view for each key figure. The currency / unit field from the table must be included in the view to which the key figure actually refers.
    Example:
    Field WKGBTR of table COEP refers to the unit field WAERS of table TKA01. In a view that contains field COEP-WKGBTR, table TKA01 and field WAERS must be included in the field list.
    If the currency or the unit a key figure refers to is not located in a table but in a structure, the key figure has to be removed from the view and read via a customer exit (see below). Structures cannot be included in a view.
    ATTENTION!! Often the key of the table in which the referenced unit is located, does not agree with the key in the table with the corresponding key figure. In this case, the join condition of both tables is not unique in the view definition, that means for each key line of the table with the key figure, several lines of the table with the unit may be read: the result is a multiplying of the number of lines in the view by a factor corresponding to the number of lines that fit the key figure, in the unit table. To be able to deliver consistent data to a BW system, check whether the unit of the key figure in question should always have a fixed value. If yes then you can determine that in the view definition via 'GoTo -> Selection conditions'. If no, then you must proceed as follows:
    a) Remove the key figure from the view
    b) Define the DataSource
    c) Enhance the extract structure by key figure and unit for each append (Transaction RSA6)
    d) Add the key figure and the unit in a customer exit
    2. A view is already used for the extraction
    If it is not possible to obtain a unit of measure from a table on which the view is based, the unit field must be deleted from the field list.
    A note in relation to the upward compatibility of BW-BCT InfoSources: BW-BCT 1.2B was not yet able to check units and currency fields. For this reason, it is possible that InfoSources which were defined in the source system as of BW-BCT 1.2B must be redefined as of 2000.1 in the manner described above. However, checks are absolutely essential for the consistency of the extracted data.
