How to set up Deltas in FI data sources

How to set up deltas for FI Data sources & can any body give me the list of the Finance data sources...
please help me..

Standard FI data sources:
0FI_GL_4 (G/L Accounts- line items)
Takes the data from the FI document tables (BKPF/BSEG) that are relevant to general ledger accounting (compare table BSIS).
0FI_AP_4 (AP-line items) and 0FI_AR_4 (AR- line items
Selections are made from tables BSID/BSAD (Accounts Receivable) and BSIK/BSAK (Accounts Payable)
How the data extraction happens?
In FI extraction 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_AP_4 are linked with 0FI_GL_4 in order to maintain consistent data transfer from OLTP system (it is called coupled data extraction, Ref OSS notes 428571).
Note: Uncoupled" extraction possible with Plug-In PI 2002.2, see OSS note 551044
0FI_GL_4 writes the entries into the time stamp table BWOM2_TIMEST in the SAP R/3 System with a new upper limit for the time stamp selection.
And now, 0FI_AP_4   and 0FI_AR_4 will copy this new upper limit for the time stamp selection during the next data extraction in the SAP R/3 System. This ensures the proper synchronization of accounts payable and accounts receivable accounting with respect to G/L accounting.
Full load: Not a valid choice because of large volumes of detailed R/3 transaction data.
Delta load:
Note: Here the delta identification process works differently for new financial records and for changed financial records.
New Financial accounting line items which are posted in SAP R/3 sytem will be identified by the extractor using the time stamp in the document header (Table BKPF-(field) CPUDT).
By scheduling an initialization IP all the historical data can be loaded into BW from the application tables and it also sets "X" indicator in field LAST_TS (Flag: 'X' = Last time stamp interval of the delta extraction).That means after the last delta, initialization was done.
OLTPSOURCE     AEDAT/AETIM     UPD     DATE_LOW     DATE_HIGH     LAST_TS
0FI_GL_4     16 May 2007/20:15     Init     01 Jan 1990     15 May 2007
0FI_GL_4     24 May 2007/16:59     delta     16 May 2007     23 May 2007
0FI_GL_4     21 June 2007/18:12     delta     15 June 2007     20 June 2007     X
0FI_AP_4     18 May2007/21:23     Init     01 Jan 1990     15 May 2007
After this, daily delta loads can be carried out depending on timestamp by scheduling delta info packages.
During the delta load , the SAP R/3 system logs two time stamps that delimit a selection interval for a Data Source in table BWOM2_TIMEST(fields TS_LOW and TS_HIGH).
FI -Delta Mode:
A time stamp on the line items serves to identify the status of the delta. Time stamp intervals that have already been read are then stored in a time stamp table (BWOM2_TIMEST).
(Info object 0Recordmode plays vital role deciding delta's .Check the field "delta "in ROOSOURCE /RODELTAM table to identify the image)
The Financial Accounting line items are extracted from the SAP R/3 system in their most recent status (after-image delta method).
AIE: This delta method is not suitable for filling Info Cubes directly in the BW system. To start with therefore, the line items must be loaded in the BW system in an ODS object that identifies the changes made to individual characteristics and key figures within a delta data record. Other data destinations (Info Cubes) can be provided with data from this ODS object.
It uses delta type E(pull) means the delta data records are determined during the delta update by the data source extractor, updated to the delta queue and passed on to BI directly from there.

How to set key fields in a Database view

Hi guru's
iam balaji,plz guide me with how to set key fields in a view.......that field is a non key field in the base table....
thanks in advance,
Balaji.S

take a look at this:
Diagnosis
    In the view, not all of the mandatory fields were included as key
    fields. The key of the view therefore is not unique.
System Response
    All the fields are regarded as key fields in order to guarantee that th
    key lengths are unique.
Procedure
    For views with a large number of fields, this could have a negative
    effect on the performance for the language construction described below
    In this case, all the mandatory key fields should be included in the
    view.

How to set the timezone in a DATE datetype?

10.5 Date, Time, and Timestamp
The JDBC API follows the Java platform's approach of representing dates and times as a millisecond value relative to January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT. Since most databases don't support the notion of a time zone, the JDBC 2.0 API adds new methods to allow a JDBC driver to get/set Date, Time, and Timestamp values for a particular time zone using a Calendar. For example,
ResultSet rs;
Date date1 = rs.getDate(1);
returns a Date object that wraps a millisecond value which denotes a particular date, like January 3, 1999, and a normalized time 00:00:00 in the default time zone. The time component of the Date is set to zero in the default time zone since SQL DATE values don't have a time component. Since a Calendar was not supplied explicitly to getDate() , the default time zone (really the default Calendar) is used by the JDBC driver internally to create the appropriate millisecond value assuming that the underlying database doesn't store time zone information.
The following example retrieves a date value in GMT-Greenwich Mean Time.
ResultSet rs;
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date date2 = rs.getDate(1, cal);
In the example above, a Calendar is passed explicitly to getDate() to inform the JDBC driver how to calculate the appropriate millisecond value. Note that the same result could have been achieved by simply changing the default time zone, and not passing the Calendar explicitly since the JDBC driver will use the default time zone by default.
Note that the two Date objects created above will not compare as equal assuming that the default time zone is not GMT, even if they represent the `same' date.
if (date1.equals(date2))
//never get here
This is because each Java language Date object really just wraps a normalized millisecond time value and these millisecond values will differ across time zones. If an application wishes to compare dates in different time zones it should first convert them to a Calendar.
An application should create a Date object using a Calendar. The application is responsible for specifying the time as 00:00:00 on the desired date when using the Calendar since JDBC uses this convention. In addition when creating a Time value the application must specify a date of January 1, 1970 to the Calendar used to create the millisecond value for the Time as this is the convention specified by JDBC for time.
Above from:

I hope it can help you!

How to set Character field's Format Mask?

Nadeem,
If you have database 10g, look into function REGEXP_REPLACE. Otherwise you can also try this (you might already know).
SELECT SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001', 1,2)||'-'||SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' ,3,2)||'-'||
SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 5,2)||'-'||SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 7,3)||'-'||
SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 10,2)||'-'||SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 12,2)||'-'||
SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 14,4)
FROM dual
CH-HO-CM-IPO-07-02-0001
If you have to use this at many places, create a function, pass the raw value, manipulate the string and return.

How to find table & fields of standard InfoObject?

Hi
How to find table & fields of standard InfoObject for creating generic DataSource?
e.g. I want to know the table & field of 0MAINTPOS infoObject.

You can get the list of tables involved in a particular DS by using the below method ( this another approach)
--> RSA3 -- enter your DS ( execute later)
--> Goto Tcode ST05 --> switch on the SQL Trace
--> now execute the extract checker in RSA3.once done switch off(deactivate) the SQL trace.
--> in st05 screen you can find the button "Display Trace" -- execute (here make sure SQL trace button is enabled.
--> from the menu bar -->Trace list--> select "combined table accesses".
--> it will display the tables involved in it -- check for TABLE names section.... select that row Table names -- click on filter button --press F4 -- here we go it will display the list of entire tables involved in the extraction activity... here you need to sort the tables which are related to your DS.

How to set the field non-editable in the classical report..

Hi..
How to set the field non-editable in the classical report..

Hi experts,
For the component 'ICCMP_EMP_SRCH' there is a view 'BUPAEMPSEARCH' , which has 2 context nodes 'CUSTOMER' AND 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' , i need to add the field 'NICKNAME' which is part of the 'CUSTOMER' context node on the search screen. Currrently all the fields on the screen screen are from the 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' context node. when i did the configuration , the 'NICKNAME' field is greyed out . I have already generated the Getter ,Setter , GET_I, GET_M methods for the 'NICKNAME' field and the context node and controller class and context class are all active .
on debugging the GET_I method, i see that rv_disabled = 'TRUE' and the current = collection_wrapper->get_current( ) is returning empty value .
for this rv_disabled to be set false , the code below is not triggered since there is no value in current.
IF current->is_property_readonly(
'NICKNAME' ) = abap_false. "#EC NOTEXT
rv_disabled = 'FALSE'.
ENDIF.
when i check for other search fields of context node 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' , all the fields are set to rv_disabled = 'FALSE'.
can anyone suggest how to approch this. iam i missing any binding between context nodes or any activations ?
The field properties are set as Input field and the display checkbox is not checked.

How to check which Table & Field is populating Data source

Hi,
My requirment is to check from which Table and Which field the data is extracted in the data source
Data Source : 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR
Field in Data Source : MINBE
Now i want to check from where (Table/Field) in R/3 is populating the Field MINBE in Data source 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR
How can i do that

Hi,
Since you have the extract structure and the extractor, you can try Extractor Checker RSA3.Execute ST05 (activating SQL Trace), switch on the trace and execute the extractor checker. Once the extractor checker presents the results
switch off trace. The clcik on Display trace and you will see all the tables that were hit by the extractor checker to retrieve data and present it to you.
Note: Set the break point in the Extractor Function module.
View the ST05 Extended Trace list. The Object name shows the Tables accessed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

This program is working fine. You can test it.
Only problem is as the column headings are big for some columns, they are getting truncated which you can always change by changing the column width in declaration
Please let me know if this helps.

hi,
I want to set default values in customer master data (account group wise).

I don't know how to set it .

thank you.

this is to inform you that,
in SAP there is no such a provision.

How to find table that store real data for field 'BETRG' ?

1) datasource 0HR_PY_1 include field 'BETRG' in R/3 source system; extract structure HRMS_BIW_PY1 for datasource 0HR_PY_1, however structure is not used for stroing data. Question: how can we find table which store real data for the field 'BETRG'?
2) If I want to add one type call department leader type which already defined in one enhanced HR table, to calculate the total amount using field 'BETRG' according to department leader type. Should I enhance datasource 0HR_PY_1 by adding department leader type or create new view based on enhanced HR table and another table that include 'BETRG' data, also create new datasource based on this view later on?
Thanks!

Hi,
Check this for Payroll Data (Transaction Data) 0HR_PY_1
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/a5/94e8288eec11d4b2fb00010220c65f/frameset.htm
The extractor for payroll results reads data from payroll cluster PCL2, not from standard tables.
thanks,
