How to figure a datsource underlying tables

Hi,
I want to find out if there is any standard procedure to figure out the underlying tables of a particular data source both standard SAP and Non SAP?
I know that for Logistics (LO) we can find it from the maintenance option of LBWE

For LO datasources, in LBWE tcode, expand the tree and click on the maintain structure of the datasource, next window you will see MC*. The letters after MC represents table name.
For ex. for sales you will get MCVBAK, MCVBAP. Means table names are VBAK and VBAP.
You can also serach in http://help.sap.com/search/sap_trex.jsp
Give the data source name. Filter the search result for datasource (click on datasource green symbol in right hand side of page). Then click on the required result link. It will show you all the information about datasource.
Like http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/67/eecac778e50f4994e2f6686f3cbd3d/frameset.htm
you can check in ROOSOURCE table also.
Check out this blog /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/09/05/sap-bw-and-business-content-datasources-in-pursuit-of-the-origins
Also, you can check in RSA2 --> Extraction Tab --> Extractor

Given a business object type, how to find out the underlying table name ?

Hi,
Given a business object type (e.g. BUSxxx), is there any Function Module that can be used to get the table name for that object ?
Have been through the SWO* FM's but did not get anything yet.
Pls let me know how this can be done.
Regards,
-Kev.

Given a table name, I am able to figure out the column information and read that data. But all I have is the business object type, so would need to figure out all the tables (as you helpfully pointed out, there could be more than 1 for a business object) and then read from those tables.

So, assuming for the moment we are just dealing with the PO BUS2012 business object, your external application will be passing you a BO type and also (presumably- otherwise you could be sending back an awful lot of data) a BO key, and you then want to send back all the detail for PO - exactly what the GetDetail method that is present on most objects does - is that right?
Since most BOs have a GetDetail method, can't you just use that?
Though I really can't see why your external application would be interested in all SAP BOs - most applications are a bit more specific than that.

How to refresh dataservices when underlying table changes

I'm writing a Flex application using FlashBuilder that accesses several MySQL tables. I've generated data services to access the tables and have used a datagrid to display the data successfully.
I then realized I was missing a couple of columns in one of my tables. I used phpAdmin to add the columns to the table. When I try to add the new columns to the datagrid, they don't show up in the Bind to Field dropdown. (I am able to type in the new column names, but they don't seem to function in the grid.)
Looking at the service datatype and code in the Data/Services tab, I can see that they're not showing the new columns. I tried doing a refresh, but they still don't show up. I've snooped through the code in the services folder and I could try to add them myself. Before I do, I thought I'd better find out if there's a better way.
Is the data service generation a one-time only type of function or is there a way to have it "re-generate" the data service so as to include any new or changed columns? Any advice on how best to handle this in the future (short of "finish the data model first" )?
Thanks.

Do a "Configure Return Type" on the Operation which is bound to the datagrid. Right click on the operation -> Configure Return Type. This will generate a new data type with a new property corresponding to MySQL column.
Add a column to DataGrid either in Code OR right click on DataGrid -> Configure Columns and add new column with 'HeaderText' and 'Bind To field' values.

How to include in table of contents the list of figures and list of tables?

How to include in table of content the "Table of contents", "List of figures" and "List of tables"? All are generated with function Table of contents, but they will not appear in generated table of contents even if they have proper style of headings - Heading 1, as other chapter.
I get this in generated Table of contentes of my dissertaion thesis:
Table of contents
Preface
Table of contents <- missing
List of tables <- missing
List of figures <- missing
Introduction
Main
Conclusion
Is it ok, that generated lists are not included in table of contents?

You've just confused me.
My understanding of how this is set up is that either:
This is a book, and there is a master TOC that includes all book documents and a document-specific TOC in each component file, or
This is a single file and there is one master TOC that includes all sections and a section-specific TOC that includes only the individual section.
In the first case, I think you would want two TOC styles set up, one that includes the chapter heads (if I understood how you said this worked) for the for the master, and you would include all docs in the book when you generate it, and a second style for the individual chapters, with the subheadings you want to include.
In the second case, it would be similar, but instead of only one style to cover the section TOCS, I think you would need to create a unique set of pargraph styles for the headings in each section (they can all be the same format, based one section, just with unique names), and then make a TOC style for each section that includes only the styles from that section.
OK, wait a sec. I just reread what you said: "Another thing: when the numbers are "linked" and updating well, they display indide a little box. Not a text box, but a kind of little frame around the numbers. That frame makes it imposible to delete just one number: when the TOC says that Section 6.1 is in page 135, for example, you cannot delete just the 5, it deletes, not just the 3 numbers, but also the doted tab."
I think these are NOT normal TOCs created by using Layout > TOC (but you could replace them with ones that are, if you set up your styles properly and the text you want to include is appearing on the pages). Those little boxes you mention sound like cross-references, which should update automatically without any intervention at all. Unfortunately, cross-refs can be flakey, especially if they point to another document. I'd open the cross-refs panel and see if you need to recreate a bunch of links.

How to determine underlying tables?

Hi All
Is there any way to determine underlying tables where data is going when we open and save any transactions?
For example : When we open transaction /va01 and create any orders and save.
The data go into VBAK /VBAP tables.
Thanks
Yogesh

Hi
Please use transaction<b> ST05</b> - SQL Trace to know the underlying tables
1. Goto ST05 - Activate Trace
2. Perform your transaction.
3. Go back to ST05 - Deactivate Trace
4. Display Trace.
it will give the tables being used and if you look carefully the syntaxes with INSERT or UPDATe are the tables being updated. You could also see the values that you have used in the Transaction

Key Figure units in Fact Table - Error

All -
When a run a report off of a cube, some row display 0 when there are corresponding values in my cube. The report doesn't agree with LISTCUBE. I have ran transaction RSRV on my cube and tested the "Key figure units in fact tables of Infocube" and I get an error saying that 1380 units are missing from fact table.
<b>Diagnosis
In the fact table /BIC/FEU_FRCTS records have been found that contain values other than zero for key figures that have units, but that have no value for the unit of the key figure. Since the value of the unit has to correspond to the value of the key figure, this inidicates an error when the data was loaded. The values of the units have not been loaded into BW correctly. Choose Details to display the incorrect records.</b>
Does anyone know what this error means? How do I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Nyrvole

hi Nyrvole,
as the message said, you have keyfigures with unit but the unit value not filled, click 'detail' as suggested to check which keyfigure(s) involved, that go to rsd2 type in that keyfigure and see which infoobject unit is used, then check transfer/update rules how this unit infoobject mapped, try correct the values and upload again.
there is option 'repair' in rsrv but think in this case it can't fix the error, just try.
hope this helps.

How-To Find the R/3 Table Name for a BW Data Source

Hi there,
Please advice how can I find the respective table name in R/3 for a particular BW DataSource ?
P/S : I would like a technical how-to instead of referring the table names at HELP.SAP.COM
For instance, for my Standard Business Content Info Cube 0CCA_C03(CO-OM-CCA: Statistical Key Figures) which extracts from BW Data Source: 0CO_OM_CCA_4
My question is, how can I find out which specific tables in SAP R/3 is this Data Source pulling the data from ?

Hi Dinesh,
   Data Source: 0CO_OM_CCA_4
   1) In my R/3, I ran SE16 : Table -> ROOSOURCE
   2) OLTPSOURCE -> 0CO_OM_CCA_4
   3) EXMETHOD = F1
     (Hence, I assume the Extraction Method is a Function Module)
   4) So, Function Module = BWOM_RS_GET_CTRSTA
   5) Run SE37 in R/3
      How do I find out the specific tables in this Function Module ?
      Would you please list them for me, so I can further refer to the individual tables ?

Determine if database view column is foreign key in underlying table

Hi,
I have posted this same question to the General Database Discussions and JDBC forums.
I am using Oracle database 10g (10.1.0.4.0 - 64 bit production) standard edition on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3, JDK 1.4.2 and the latest Oracle JDBC (thin) driver.
We have a java GUI application that is a front-end for our database. Some of the data entry screens display data from database views. If a column in the view is a foreign key in the underlying table, we want to display a combo-box with the valid values so that the user can choose a correct value.
Is there some way to know whether a column in a view is a foreign key in the view's underlying table?
Thanks,
Avi.

I take that back.. I did figure something out for ya.. After reading some elses post I wrote this code... but its time to go home... I believe this will show you all the constraints and constraint types for the underlying tables of all the views for a user. You can mess with it and get it to return only FK (constraint_type = 'R') and only for a single view if ya like... The all_dependencies data dictionary view is the key to this whole operation...
select con.table_name, ucc.column_name, con.constraint_name, con.constraint_type
from all_constraints con, all_cons_columns ucc
where con.owner = user and
con.owner = ucc.owner and
con.table_name = ucc.table_name and
con.table_name in
(SELECT referenced_name
FROM all_dependencies
WHERE referenced_owner = USER
AND referenced_type = 'TABLE'
AND type = 'VIEW');

COuld some give me some ideas? Thanks

Hi shay,
I have not fixed my problem. I defined two homes respectively:
Oracle817: Home_name: oraHome81
Path: D:\oracle
Form6i: home_name: orahome6i
path: d:\Form6i
But I'm wondering when I opened the ORACLE folder under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, All_Homes just show one home name:
oraHome81 or orahome6i, deponding on which I imported later.
So I like to ask do I need make the export/import
registery of ORACLE floder under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
when you install oralce and form6i together?
By the way, let me attached the TNSNAMES.ora file which
configured by Oracle during installation:

Web Tools Code missing under TABLES (Sync Manager)

Hello Experts,
I have recently did my testing on the Sbo_Demo Database.
I felt it was time for me to graduate and move on to the real data.
So i changed the database in SYNC manager to the one i would like to use.
Once i did this i started setting up my B2C Business partner and everything else needed for a successful sync.
i noticed an error stating PRX _ fields were missing. I figured i would start the procedure over using the document to successfuly uninstal any traces of WEBTOOLS.
So i started up a fresh install of web tools all seemed to go fine i setup my database when i went to sync manager under tables my WEB TOOLS CODE COLUMN was missing, in short my PRX_Fields were never constructed. i followed the removal process step by step from the included documents section page 13 " Removing the application"
Does anyone know what i am doing wrong? i thought the PRX files were created automattically with the webtools installer or sync manger
neither seem to be doing so.
Thank you very much for you time

Hello Sebastiano,
These columns are created by clicking "Install Plugin" on the first screen of the isynch manager. It is necessary to run this function every time you switch SBO databases. Also it is necessary to enter codes on the tables and click on the "Initialize Synch" button on the synchronization screen. This clears the webtools db of data from your previous SBO db. I believe this is covered in the installer guide.
Good luck,
James
