Infocube contents

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the easier way to know the number of datarecords in an infocube(Excluding Monitor, Infocube-->Manage options)??

Hi,
You can try using listcube ( not too sure if this'll work as I don't have system access).
The other method you can try is going to SE16 and typing in the cube table name and then using the number of entries button to find out the number of records.
The manual way is to look at the manage->request tab of the cube and look at the records added. But this is a manual and very error prone as you have to track all request from the first request plus you need to know of all the data that was deleted out of the cube selectively.

How to access Infocube content using an ABAP program

Hi,
 I am trying to access infocube contents using a ABAP program in BW.
 It is easy to access ODS content as we have NEW DATA or ACTIVE DATA
 tables. Is there any way we can access Infocube content.
 I tried using the FACT table but it has only Keyfigure data.
thanks
arshad.

Hi,
I would suggest to use a transactionnal cube, even if you do not use BPS to feed it.
Then, you create a layout in transaction BPS0 (~ similar to a query), and you can access the cube content by simply using the SAP function API_SEMBPS_GETDATA.
This is easy and fast.

Checking infocube contents

Hi
I loaded data from ODS to infocube (BI 7.0). I checked the infocube contents. When I clicked on the infocube content , I am only able to see the currency and amount. The 0unit and quantity data is missing. What could be wrong. Please help. Thank you.
Seetha.

Infocube Manage->Contents->infocube content->select the characterstics & key figure you want to display->in the selection screen click in left top button of field for output->select fields to show on execution->click on execute->again click on excute to see the output

Export InfoCube Contents by Request to a flat file

Hi SDN,
Is it possible, other than going into the manage contents of an infoCube,
to export to a CSV file, by a request id.
I had a look at the function module
RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ
and it nearly does what i require, although i wasn't able to get it to work.
Can anyone firstly provide me with the parameters to input to get it to write to a file, say C:\temp.csv.
We are not able to use open hub service because of licensing issues.
Finally, if there is no easy solution, i will just go to the manage contents, and dump out the 3 - 4 million records identified by a request id number
Thank you.
Simon

Another options for "adjusting" a cube:
- converting it to transactional and use BPS functionalities (ABAP report SAP_CONVERT_TO_TRANSACTIONAL)
- loopback scenario: generate export datasource on your cube with update rules to your cube itslef; you would extract the data to be corrected to PSA; you can then edit this PSA (manually or mass updates with ABAP code) and the post it again in your cube.
hope this helps...

Display Infocube Content produces Runtime Errors = TIME_OUT

Hi,
Upon trying to display content of an InfoCube (200 records only), I received the following error:
Runtime Errors TIME_OUT
Date and Time 13.12.2007 11:16:24
Short text
Time limit exceeded.
What happened?
 The program "CL_SQL_RESULT_SET=============CP" has exceeded the maximum
 permitted runtime without
 interruption and has therefore been terminated.
Error analysis
 After a specific time, the program is terminated to make the work area
 available to other users who may be waiting.
 This is to prevent a work area being blocked unnecessarily long by, for
 example:
 - Endless loops (DO, WHILE, ...),
 - Database accesses with a large result set
 - Database accesses without a suitable index (full table scan)
The maximum runtime of a program is limited by the system profile
 parameter "rdisp/max_wprun_time". The current setting is 600 seconds. If this
 time limit is
 exceeded, the system attempts to cancel any running SQL statement or
 signals the ABAP processor to stop the running program. Then the system
 waits another 60 seconds maximum. If the program is then still active,
 the work process is restarted.

Hi,
Chk the below line from the dump in line 3 - 'Fetches the next bulk of rows into an internal table'
what that error means is the volume which u r trying to view is beyond the size of the internal table buffer and because of that it is leading to a dump.
As the previous reply suggests try to increase the size of table buffer which will help you display much larger volumes.
Selection of fewer columns would be much quicker and easier to analyse data quickly.

Reading InfoCube contents in ABAP

Dear,
I'm reading the contents of an InfoCube using FM RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ. This works fine, characteristics & keyfigures are coming through, only when I want the currency keys and units, the returned itab (E_T_DATA) contains additional records in stead of the currencies and units filled in the corresponding entries. Probably beacuse units are in a separate dimension. Does anyone know how I can populate the currency keys & units in the same records as where the keyfigures are stored?
Thanx in advance for your help!
Regards,
Marco

Hi Lakshman,
1.Files in application server are called 'Sequential files'. they are also called as 'Dataset'.

 IN {TEXT MODE/BINARY MODE}
 b. To process ( reading/writing):
 TRANSFER <FIELD> TO <FILE NAME>,
 READ DATASET <FILENAME> INTO <FIELD>.
c. To close:
 CLOSE DATASET <FILENAME>

Authorization error when trying to view Infocube content

Hi,
I have created one Infocube and loaded the data.When I am trying to view the contents from manage screen,im getting the below mentioned error.
Your user master record is not sufficiently maintained for object Auth Obj for Personnel Area - 0PERS_AREA
Message no. BRAIN805
Diagnosis
When checking your authorizations for object 'Auth Obj for Personnel Area - 0PERS_AREA' (technical name: ZHR_0PERSA) it was established that you do not have authorization in your user master record for this object (return code 12).
Procedure
How you continue depends on the return code. See the online documentation for ABAP language element "AUTHORITY-CHECK". Please note:
With a return code of 12, the object 'Auth Obj for Personnel Area - 0PERS_AREA' has not been maintained in the user master, meaning there is no profile in the user master record in which this authorization object has been entered. This is, however, absolutely necessary, as all of the authorization objects created in the development class RSR are validated in the 'and' link. If the authorization is missing for only one object, the request is rejected as unauthorized.
Get the person responsible for your authorization to create you a profile containing authorization for object Auth Obj for Personnel Area - 0PERS_AREA.
need help on this
Thanks In Advance..

Hi,
First check in RSSM whether your InfoProvider is checked for authorization object 0PERS_AREA. Also determine whether do you need this authorization object ?If yes, then it should be checked otherwise check mark should be unchecked. If 0PERS_AREA is checked for your InfoProvider, then you should have some value in this object when you create the role. Either * for all values or restricted value for it. Goto Pfcg select the role and add the authorization values for the 0PERS_AREAobject.

Hi Kevin,
An entry needs to be maintained in transaction OMSL. It should be the same value as in transaction OMSL in your source system.

Selective Deletion of Infocube data

BW experts,
I have a scenario where in "rough" data already stored in an InfoCube will be replaced by a more "intelligent" data from another source. The deletion/replacement of data should happen without manual intervention (cause flat file data files arrive at a schedule time and should be loaded "automatically"into the cube) What are my options here? I currently know that it is possible to delete infocube contents using function module 'RSDRD_SEL_DELETION' (perhaps do it in the Update Rule).
1) Is there another way (more "SAP Standard" or more "intelligent")? I need to delete based on characteristics that can be found in the file (e.g. the file has data for 0MATERIAL, 0CALWEEK).
2) What are the "watch outs" for using function module 'RSDRD_SEL_DELETION'?
Please advise.
Thank you very much.

Hello Emmanuel,
 In ABAP programe Just used the Infocube Name and the selection condition on what basis you want to delete.

No Messages Exist - In InfoCube

Hi,
I have loaded flat file data in to the InfoCube and When I check the infocube content I'm unable to see any records in that.
And I'm getting a message as 'No Messages Exist'
Please tell me what could be the errors.
Thanks

Hi Ahmed,
do you see records at PSA, at Cube right click -> manage -> check how many transfered and added records and check the load status.
if added records are there, you can see the data with contents tab and select fields for output......
Best Regards.

Infocube record count.

Hi all,
I want to find out for a selection criteria ie fiscalyear = 2003 in a cube how many total records are retrieved. In infocube->manage, and then in 'infocube content' I filtered the selection criteria by fiscal year and also selected the check box 'Output number of hits' thinking it will display record counter, but I am getting one's in record count field. Any help in this.....is really appreciated.
thanks
Kiranmai.

Hi Bhanu,
I started again from infocube->manage and then infocube content. When I select both 'Use DB aggregation' and 'Output number of hits' check box then I get only one row as output and it gives me the total number of records for the selection criteria fiscalyear=2003.
It did solved my problem, but will try to do what you said in your previous post.
thanks

"Completely delete data target content" setting in InfoPackage

Gurus,
In a Infopackage to load a cube that has 2 sources- Source 1 and source 2,there is a setting
"Completely delete data target content" under datatargets.
The InfoPackage is for loading data from source 1. Does this mean that the setting "Completely delete data target content" deletes just the requests related to source 1 from the cube or all the requests in the cue before making any other load.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Simmi

Hello Simmi,
This is content from help regarding this feature and it says that entire content of cube will be deleted.
Delete InfoCube contents completely
Use
With every load process before updating the data in an InfoCube, you can delete the entire content of this InfoCube. Mark field Delete entire InfoCube content for this.
If you are using the InfoPackage in a process chein, the setting is hidden in the scheduler, since it is represented in the Process Chain Maintenance through its own process type and is maintained there.

Automatic loading of similar/identical request from infocube

Dear all,
Any one can give the description of Automatic loading of similar/identical request from infocube].please
Thanks
Rave

Hi,
From help.sap
Automatic Deletion of Requests from the InfoCube when Loading
To ensure that the data that is going to be loaded with an InfoPackage is available only once in an InfoCube, you can delete from the InfoCube any existing requests that have partially overlapping or similar selection conditions and relevant deletion selections.
After loading new data into the InfoCube, the InfoCube contents are checked using the selection conditions for an InfoSource/DataSource/source system combination, to see if overlapping data has been loaded into the InfoCube. The data that has been loaded into the InfoCube is not analyzed rather the selection conditions for the InfoObjects that you determined in the Scheduler are compared.
With this function the dataset in BW is reduced to the size necessary for analysis, and redundancies are avoided.

     You have set up an opening balance of 100 units on 01.01.2002 and loaded it into the stock InfoCube.
     Historical material movements from the three previous months (October 2001:10 units; November 2001: 20 units; December 2001: 10 units) are loaded into the BW.
     Since this point, successive material movements have been transferred into the BW in the delta process. Delta requests transferred at the end of January (20 units) and February (10 units) were already compressed after successful validation, the last delta request from the end of March (10 units) is still in the InfoCube in uncompressed form.
To help explain the role of the marker (= reference point), the different upload steps are considered over time.
After uploading the opening balance, the InfoCube looks like this:
You can see that the opening stock is not assigned to the actual date, but posted to a
point in infinity (0CALDAY= 31.12.9999, for example).
After the three previous months have been uploaded and compressed, the InfoCube
content looks like this:
Note here that the marker value remains unchanged at 100 units. This can be achieved
using the No marker update indicator during compression (see section 3.2.2, step 6).
The marker is thus not changed.
After successively uploading deltas from January to March, of which only the first two are
compressed, the InfoCube content has the following appearance:
Compressing the requests for January and February executes a marker update that can
be seen by the marker now having the value 130 units. The values for March have not
been included in the marker yet.
