InfoCube Load

Hi,
I loade Infocube with Historical data from year 2000 to 2006 this is one time load.
Every month I have to load Current year and month data for example 2007, Jan....
Initial load will store in a cube constant but every time I load current year and month data should be override current month data
For Example:
In Jan 2007 i will load Jan 2007 data.
In Feb 2007 I will jan ,Feb 2007 when i load this system should delete the Jan 2007 data and load Jan,feb 2007 data
My Final output will be
Initial load plus Jan,Feb 2007 data.....
is it possible ?

Hello Roy,
You can achieve this using process chains.
Create a PC with the process type "Delte Overlapping Request in Data Target".
inside that process select Deletion conditions (Eg: if the info source is same and info pack is same delte the previous request)
you have to load your initial loads manually for yr 2000 to 2006.

Confusing error message in job log of infocube loading job

Hello,
I executed a job which runs a process chain. The process chain has two important steps: It extracts tranaction data from a planning area in an infocube and it loads APO-relevant master data (materials, plants) from R3 system in the same infocube.
Almost every step of this process seems to be executed correctly. The loading process ended successfully. But the spool of the job is a bit confusing:
Loaded CVC's are all listed and appear with a green traffic light. Master data appear with a red traffic light and with the comment: Product xxx does not exist. The same with the location.
Does anybody know why the signals are red in this case.
In APO and R3 all listed master data are available - in the planning area as well as in the infocube after the data loading.
So, I am very confused about this message text in the spool because everything seems to be ok....
Thanks in advance
Best regards
H.Becker

Hello Heinz,
First of all, we need to be sure regarding which step the particular log correspoinds to.
You mentioned that your process chain has 2 steps.
Do you know how to look at the logs for a particular step of a process chain?
Go to RSPC, double click on your process chain, and then click the log button at the top?
You would now be in the log view. Then double-click on the step no.1, and see the information contained in the central tab named "backg". Does this contain the errors corresponding to you reds (that location or product does not exist)?
If not, repeat the same step for step 2.
Once you are sure regarding the step against which you are getting your error, please share soe more info regarding the step.
Then we could look further into the possible cause.
PS: Your first message itself was very confusing. You mentioned that you get transaction data from planning area to the cube, and you also get CVCs (location/products) from R/3 source system to the cube. This is very confusing.
Thanks - Pawan

Flat File to InfoCube Load Issue

Hello All,
              I am newbie in the SAP BW land. Probably a simple question to BW Experts.
This is crude implementation of the Fu and Fu example.
Environment SAP BW 7.0
Iam trying to load a flat file to the Info Cube.
1. I am able to successfully preview the data from the data sources
2. Also able to load the data to the PSA, which i see from PSA maintenance screen
Issue arises when i try to load the data to the Info Cube by running the DTP Process, it just does not load the data.
I ma unable to figure of what the issue is
Following the structure of the Flat File with 1 line of data
Day      Unit of Measure     Customer ID     Meterial Number     Sales Representative ID     Sales Office     Sales Region     Price of Material     Sales quantity     Sales revenue     Currency
20100510     gms     1122334455     92138     9710274     Chicago     NorthEast     890     50     928     USD
Following is the structure of the Info Cube
Characteristics
Time
Unit
Customer ID
Material Number
Sales Representative ID
Sales Office
Sales Region
Measures
Price of Material
Sales quantity
Sales revenue
--- also where can i find a data flow diagram or steps of what needs to be done to design a standard cube loading process
Please tell me where am I going wrong.

II think i made progress but i still do not see the data in the InfoCube
When i visit the PSA by
visiting the source system -> Manage PSA -> Select the line item -> PSA Maintenance-> I see the record completely like this
@5B@     1     1     05/10/2010     GMS     1,122,334,455     92,138     9,710,274     CHICAGO     NORTHEAST     890     50     928
But when i run the DTP Process i see the following error message
I think this is due to a data type mismatch between flat file and the infocube.
Please adivse
Error I see is
@5C@     No SID found for value 'GMS ' of characteristic 0UNIT     BRAIN     70     @35@     @3R@
Also where can i click or extract the InfoCube structure in plain text so that i can post it on the forum for your better visibility

Infocube load failure post Support Pack Implementation

Hi,
We upgraded our BI 7.0 system to Support pack 21 and since then the data load to InfoCube has been failing. The Short Dump details is as mentioned:
Error analysis
    An exception occurred which is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_RSR_COB_PRO_NOT_FOUND', was not caught and therefore caused a runtime error.
    The reason for the exception is:
    0REQUEST is not a valid characteristic for InfoProvider
Have been through some post which mentions below 2 solutions:
1. Activate 0REQUEST in Dev and move it to subsequent systems
OR----
2. Execute the program RSDG_CUBE_ACTIVATE and RSDD_RSTMPLWIDTP_GEN_ALL.
I tried the second option and it didnt work. In case you have faced any simialr issue then please do revert back.
Thanks & Regards,

Infocube to Infocube load fails

Hi Experts,
When i run a full update from once infocube another infocube, the load fails with the following error message..

make sure the structure will be same other wise the errors will trigred like any thing

Current Time of Load on Infocube available in query report

Hi Gurus,
I just want to ask if there are available method to include in the query report the most recent time and date of loading of infocube. The requirement is when extracting the bw report, it would show the last time of loading from the infoprovider, from the infocube.
Initial plan is to add a field but where exactly will be the source of the time and date of the infocube loading.
Your inputs are very much helpful.

Hi
if the endgoal is to have in the webi, it is even easier.
Just create your statitistics query in the query designer and insert it as a new query in the webi (in webi you can have more than 1 query) they run sequentially but in my cases just one 1 sec tops. So even no workbook needed.
for the statistics check : (I think i used MP 0TCT_MC01)http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0e5ca3b-95ce-2b10-4d94-864ab29a8b63?overridelayout=t…

Hi,
Creating infocube in 7.0 is almost similar the only difference in 3.5 u have to create update rule & transfer rule in 7.0 DTP is used for transformation.
if u mention the errors u faced while creating infocube then it is easy to find out the solution.
Pls go thru this links,

Delete infoobject from an infocube with data

Hi,
I have just added an infoobject to an infocube which has data. Now, I need to delete that infoobject and I think that if the infocube has data I couldnt delete the infoobject.
How can I delete the infoobject without removing the data?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards.

Hi David,
deleting an infoObject from an database table is everytime difficult. The correct solution depends on different requirements:
How many datasets are in the infocube - how large is the cube.
Can you reload the data from a source or an DSO
Does your release support remodeling.
The best solution would be - delete the data, transport your change of datamodel to prod system and reload the data. The second solution could be: create an copy of the actual infocube, load the the data from the original cube to copy, delete the data from original cube, transport your changes to prod system, load the data from copy to "new"original cube, delete the copy.
You can also try to use the remodeling function. But there is no guarantee that this will work correct. We made some good and some bad experiences with this tool.

ABAP for the first day of the month

Hello BW users,
I have a scenario which uses an ODS with cumulative key figures with Addition update type. An infocube gets data from ODS by start routine in cube's update rule. I update this ODS first then infocube. All the loads are Full and are loaded daily. This is a snapshot scenario and I load the ods on itself then load from another infocube let's say Cube1. After successful load, I update infocube on itself again then update from the same infocube, Cube1, as in ODS. Infocube load sequence is same as ODS. In the scenario ODS and infocube are wanted to be updated daily. Therefore, I have to delete the ODS's (since it is addition update type) and infocube's overlapping data in the process chain that automates the load. At this point I need two things:
1- ABAP program that is going to give me the first day of each month.
2- ABAP program that is going to delete the overlapping data in ODS when I load it daily. Since I can do that for infocube in process chain with standard process type of Delete overlapping requests from infocube I need it only for ODS. Because there is no standard process type to delete overlapping requests in ODS (since its update type is Addition).
I appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,

1- ABAP program that is going to give me the first day of each month.
if sy-datun+6(2) = 01.
SY-FDAYW should give you the day

What is the difference between Process Type TRIGGER AND CHAIN

What is the difference between these two process types. When I am looking process types, I want to provide information only about process chains and not individual steps of process chain. Looks like one can do using either.
Along the same line, I am looking at data from RSPCPROCESSLOG, no where this table has a column process chain id. So How od I find information about a process chain.
Thanks a lot,

A "Chain Process" can be a a step in a Process Chain as well. For Example: So you could have the following Process Chain:
Process Chain Example
Step 1. TRIGGER (Execute Daily at 4am)
Step 2. DTP_LOAD Execute DSO Load
Step 3. DTP_LOAD Execute InfoCube Load
Step 4. CHAIN Execute Master Data Process Chain
I believe the "Master Chain" is called a "MetaChain" since it controls the start of another Process Chain.
Hope that helps...

BPC as an accounting model in BI

Hi experts:
I am start hardly working on the BPC solution and I have a I huge question. BPC seems to be based on a accounting model. That means that the account is a crucial dimension. What if I would need to build a planning scenario for a analitic COPA, based on key figure model. In that case, I would have a infocube (loaded from SAP ERP - COPA) defined with no account and 100-120 key figures. Even in this way, I could have some performance problems because sometimes there are a lot of information.
What's the correct model to define in BPC?I guess that In BPC I should create the model with accounts and would have a account model where I would transform key figures into accounts. Then, we have some doubts:
1- What about performance problems?
2- What about creating quieries to compare both infocubes?
I can imagine that it is not a solid model having actual data according to a key figure model and plannig according to account model data.
I am not a BPC consultant as I am just starting to working on it. I am a SAP FICO consultant with wide experience on plannig is some knowledge in BPS and IP. Perhaps, I am not really understanding the global concept (I apologize wheather it is like that) but I would be grateful if you give your opinion about that issue.
Thanks in advance for you help.

Hi Sorin, at first glance, no problem to do it with MSTSC:
with TSE 2003 on Windows 2003 SP2, publishing only iexplore.exe, everything seems to work fine and user only sees BPC applications (iexplore, bpc for excel, bpc admin...).
(programs toggle of mstsc must contain this kind of information:
- start the following program on connection: checked
- Program path and file name: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE)
mstsc release is 6.1.

Reconstruction of request in BI 7.0

hi All,
In 3.5 , i can go to "Reconstruct" tab in the cube and able to select the request which need to be reconstructed. But in 7.0, is there any way to reconstruct the request like what we used to do in 3.5. Can you please let me know how we should do this in 7.0 ?
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
The reconstruct tab only works for InfoCubes loaded with 3.x data
flow objects (update rules).
In addition to this, this function only works if the data is stored in the PSA,
But since you know in BI 7.0 there is no PSA when u load data from DSO to Cube.

Mansi

Strange Urgent scenario please help!

Hello Friends,
I am having one strange problem in InfoCube loading.
I am loading from 0FI_GL_4 extractor to BW InfoCube with full load.
I have start routine logic in my update rules.I debugged routine several times simulated update from PSA plenty of times.
In debugging and simulation it gives expected results, but when I actually load data to InfoCube it misses some data.
Some data are not showing up in InfoCube.
Please help with your suggestions.
Thanks,
John.

Ajax,
What do you mean by key of the IS.There is no end routine as this is 3.x
Jr Roberto,
The records are cuting down in the start routine, I can see it clearly into the monitor.
But the strange thing to notice is when I debugg code for error records it gives right result and when I load actually it cuts some records.
Thanks for looking into it.

Inventory Management Scenario

Hi BW Experts,
I was working on the Inventory Management screnario as in How to Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW with cumulative KFs. I read many of the forum postings but I am still little bit confused about the sequence of the loading. As per my understanding, BX goes to 0IC_C03 bus. content cube and snapshot ODS. BX load in 0IC_C03 is compressed. Then BF and UM goes to snapshot ODS, snapshot infocube and 0IC_C03 (initilized for Delta). Then the generic extractor from snapshot ODS goes to snapshot infocube as monthly load and also to ODS itself. Now the questions are:
1-) Is the sequence above correct? If not could you pls. explain? What are reasons behind of this?
2-) What are the functions of these objects exactly, in detailed? How do you validate data (by comparing 0IC_C03 and snapshot cube)?
3-) Why the generic extractor goes to infocube and ODS together, what is the reason?
4-) Is snapshot infocube loaded with BF and UM as delta daily? After initialization am I going to load the snapshot infocube every night or just the 0IC_C03?
5-) Do I have to put 0CALDAY into Agg. Ref. char. in the maintenance screen of the defined custom KFs (Z* keyfigurs for this scenario) or just in the report enough?
6-) Are the routines working correctly except for
diff_month(2) type i-> "i" is going to be changed into "n"
After I loaded in the above sequence when the bx is loaded into 0IC_C03 cube transferred data records are less than added. What is the reason?
Contributions are highly appreciated. Thanks.
Best Regards,

2. Go to Transaction LBWE, Activate Datasources 2LIS_03_BF, AND 2LIS_03_UM.
3. Go to Transaction MCB_ select SAP BW usage 'Standard' Radio button.
4. Save it.
5. Go to Transaction MCNB, enter name of run Stock_init. Enter Termination date in future. Enter Datasource as 2LIS_03_BX.
6. Execute the initialisation.
7. Entries can be found in SETUP Table MC03BFSETUP & MC03BFSETUP.
8. Run SETUP for 2LIS_03_BF, AND 2LIS_03_UM using TCodes OLI1BW and OLIZBW respectively.
9. Run the extraction for 2LIS_03_BX in BW.
10. Compress the request with No Marker Update NOT SET i.e. unticked or unchecked.
11. Run the extraction for 2LIS_03_BF in BW.
12. Compress the request with No Marker Update SET i.e. ticked or checked.
13. Run the extraction for 2LIS_03_UM in BW.
14. Compress the request with No Marker Update SET i.e. ticked or checked.
Steps 1 and 2 shall be executed in Development and transported to production and step 3 onward should be carried out in Production itself with Posting Block.
Thanks in advance.
