InfoPackage Selection

Hey gurus ...
In my previous post i put my question altogether wrong ..so here is my question again
In BW 3.5
In infopackage 'Data Selection' tab we can select range of values (From Values , To Values) for some fields in datasource .We make these fields available for selection, when we check the selection box (corresponding to field ) in transfer structure of datasource.
My question is how do this in BI 7.0 when we are using DTPs and transformations , not tranfer rules .
ie : how to make a field in datasource available under data selection tab in infopackage ..
I hope i am clear this time in putting up my doubt .
Please assist .
Thanks
SB

DTP data selection
1. Open the DTP
2. Goto the Extraction Tab
3. There will be a "Filter" button opposite to the Extraction mode.
4. By using this Filter button you can do data selection and add more fields using Change selection button.
Infopackages still have to be used to get information from Sources System.
DTPs are mainly used to transfer data among BI objects except in the case of direct accessing from Data source.

The fields of type Int 1 not appearing in Infopackage selection

Hello Gurus,
I have created a generic datasource on two tables .
The fields that should be set as Selection fields for the DataSource are the following:
-     field 1------type char
-     field 2----
type char
-               field 3----
type Int1
-     field 4----
type Int1
Out of the above four table fields only the two fields with char datatype are appearing in infopackage selection.
The other two ie(field 3 and field 4) of datatype Int1 does not appear in infopackage selection.
I have ticked the check boxes in the selection field of datasource.
I also get all the four fields available for selection in RSA3(extractor checker tcode).
Kindly help me in resolving this issue.

Hi Amol,
Can you please replicate DS once again and then try creating the infopacage

*** Abap Routine in Infopackage selection ***

Hi !!!
I have the scenario below:
I have created an infoobject called CAEMPFF. In the infopackage selection under field 0COMP_CODE I want to create an abap rotine to read all vaules filled in CAEMPFF.
How can I do that using abap routine ?
Thanks in advance,
Leandro.

Hi Leandro,
In the infopackage, under 0comp_code (or probably field BUKRS if it's an ERP datasource), you should select ABAP routine (6) under Type field. Then, you'll be prompted to create the routine.
There you should create a program that reads all the values of your infoobject master data table.
Hope this helps.

Diego

Infopackage Selections Tab-OLAP Variable/ABAP Routine

Hi Experts
In my Infopackage Selections Tab i had Cal Mon/Year field....
As per my requirment i have to write a selection condion that when we execute info package (it is a monthly data load) it will extract data only for the months greater than or equal to current month
Please update me on how can i achieve this either by using OLAP Variable or ABAP Routine in infopackage...will be great if can provide the required ABAP Code
Thanks in Advance

here's an example that fills the fiscal year from last month (bold is customer code... the rest is standard):
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
read table l_t_range with key
       fieldname = 'PARAM_P_GJAHR'.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
data:
v_caldy type /BI0/OICALDAY,
v_calmn type /BI0/OICALMONTH,
v_calyr type /BI0/OICALYEAR.
v_caldy = sy-datum.
determine first day*
v_caldy+6(2) = '01'.
determine last month*
subtract 1 from v_caldy.
v_calyr = v_caldy(4).
l_t_range-sign   = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
l_t_range-low    = v_calyr.
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
p_subrc = 0.

OLAP Variable with user exit for Infopackage Selection 0fiscper

Hi Frds/ Guru's ,
I have a requirement to use a OLAP Variable for Fiscal year period 0fiscper(Characteristic ) in the Infopackage Selection. . I need to extract the data for Previous Year and Current Year , that is to be automatically selected with a OLAP Variable . The standard one's provided by SAP are not satisfying my requirement,as they are getting populated with SAP Exit and I am not getting the ranges .I am planning to create a variable and use the processing type as Customer Exit and Populate it with ABAP code in respective Enhancement RSR00001.
Even Can I create a ABAP Routine ? Please suggest me which is better to do in respect to performance of dataload , will be really glad if anyone can provide some code for doing this as u might have faced the situation sometime .
I have checked with all the threads available , could get some idea but will be really thankful if u gimme some hints in writing the code , at Exit level and routine level .
Thanks,
Krish

InfoPackage selection offset with OLAP variable

Hi Bw Gurus,
I have a requirement to load ODS with full upload everytime but in order to reduce repeated loads I am trying to use a DATE field which is not part of communication str. as a selection critera in InfoPacakge.
I changed DS to include this field avaialable for selection and It's working fine when I input date to and from values hard coded in InfoPackage.
Further I am trying to automate this InfoPackage scheduled weekly and I need to include date offset value for this DATE field to load for additional last 2 weeks every time to capture changes for already loaded data.
I have created OLAP customer exit variable having Date interval for Date starting from last 3 weeks to Current DAte and included in InfoPackage selection for DATE field but it's not working. By the way if someone can explain what's meaning for two columns there for TYPE(Variable change to selection.....) and detail for type.
Any clue for reason or any other way to accomplish this requirement?
Thanks in advance,

hi,
can you explain me ,hw you solved the pbm,
the same pbm i am facing.
i am trying to load the data everyweek ( i have date field ),so i have selected OLAP Variable option -7 and there i have selected 0WEEK,but data is not comining from R/3,then i have selected the option -6 abap code,i have written code to get the date range,even though i am not able to retrive the data.
can you suggest me
Thanks

Routine in Infopackage selection

Hi,
We are using DB Connect and hence we need to write a routine in Infopackage selections to restrict the data to be extracted.
In the source file, there is a field called " Time stamp".
This is a Char 23 field with mm-dd-yyyy-hh.mm.ss.sssss format.
My requirement is lookinto first 10 char ( only for date) and filter the records. If the date = Sy-datum, then only, i want to extract the data in BI staging.
Is it possible to write a routine in Infopackage ? Can you pls help me ?
Or do i need to take the whole data into PSA and then write a routine in transformation while uploading to Data Target ?

" To Value " is greyed out in Infopackage Selection Tab ??????

Infopackage Selection Tab has some mandatory selections to be fild in for loading.
"From value" is excepting values but "To Value" is greyed out ???
Its for a SAP extractor - FERC.
Help SDNer's

I see the Doc :
Text
Selection Options
Definition
Selection options that can be processed for a DataSource field.
Note 1:
The selection options defined here must be supported by the extractor.
Note 2:
If no other selection options are used for a DataSource field other than
'EQ' and 'BT', no further definition is required. The value of the
selection options can remain as the the default setting '0'.
The selection option combinations are encoded into a binary string using the following schema and are saved as decimal figures:
Selection option exponent (binary string)
EQ 2^0
BT 2^1
CP 2^2
GT 2^3
GE 2^4
LT 2^5
LE 2^6
NE 2^7
NB 2^8
NP 2^9
Each character in the resulting binary string describes whether the corresponding selection option is allowed or not.
That is:

1-allowed
0-not allowed
For example:
Selection options EQ and CP can be used to select in a field.
The binary string is then: 0000000101
The corresponding decimal value that sis saved as the DataSource definition is: 12^0 + 12^2 = 5

All the selections have 1 which is allowed but why To value is greyed out ?

InfoPackage Selection - Logical OR

Is there any way to enable a Logical 'OR' in an InfoPackage on 2 fields? When both fields are populated by respective ABAP routines, the result condition turns out a Logical 'AND'.
I have two timestamp fields, in InfoPackage Selection TS1 and TS2 intervals. I have routines on both of them. How can I enable the system to generate my selection to be an OR meaning either TS1 interval OR TS2 interval. The way it is behaving now is TS1 interval and TS2 interval.
I am using BW 7.1 and DB Connect interface in this case.
Thanks.

I don't need this anymore but if anyone has ideas, please feel free to chime in as it can benefit the community.

INIT InfoPackage Selections

Hello,
In an INIT Infopackage I want to make the following selections for extraction:
Sales Org = 0003 through 0004
Sales Org = Not Assigned (Blank)
With these selections my goal is to get records for Sales Org 0003 and 0004 as well as the records that are not assigned to a Sales Org. Specifically I am trying to avoid getting records for Sales Org 0005, but I want to make sure and get the records that have an unnassigned Sales Org.
Is this possible? I am mostly unsure of how to indicate in my selection criteria that "if the sales Org is unassigned then bring over the record".
We are on BW 3.5
Thanks,
Nick

Hello Jr. Roberto,
Thanks for your reponse, I have some follow up questions.
What sort of routine are you suggesting?
Also what do you mean by F2 won't work in InfoPackage Selections? What is F2?
Thanks,

Technical Design Review Question: InfoPackage Selection

I got my hands on technical design documentation for a project on COPA budget. I came up with a few questions but I will post them separately for fast closing and awards:
1. In the discussions of InfoPackage Selection, a statement
The budgets InfoSource will have full/Replace loads, based on plan version
Can you explain what this statement may mean? I am not sure I get it right.
Thanks.

Hi Caud !
I think that thi statement refers to the possibility to delete the content of an infoprovider for the same selection criteria...so, in this case, you have to load budget data on the basis of the plan version and delete (replace) the already existing data for the same plan version loaded before !
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto

Update data from ODS to ODS with infopackage selection

Hi,
I am trying to update data from one ODS to another ODS with selection criteria in InfoPackage which is created manually.For Full load I can give selection criteria in InfoPackage. When I initialize data Selection is greyed out even selections for Full load exists. Please advise me how to give selections for delta loads from ODS to ODS loads.
Thanks in advance.
Ram

Once you started an ODS as destination in FULL mode from a DS you cannot get back.
So if you want to update from ODS to ODS using Change Log but considering only some data records you could create an Update Routine with a Start Routine that DELETES undesired records (e.g. DELETE DATA_PACKAGE WHERE ...) and then start an Init-Delta Loading.
Hope it helps

Read Infopackage selection from a table using ABAP

Hello Experts,
I have a flat file consisting of 3 columns which I want to use as selection fields for the Infopackage. Now, is it possible to load this flat file to an ODS or a master data table and then write some ABAP in the Infopackage to read the values of the columns and populate the selection fields.
This is what I want: The columns of the flat file are - Company Code, Doc number, Fiscal Year
Now, I loaded this file into a tables (around 2 million records) and then use ABAP to populate the entire file into the selection tab of the Infopackage.
What would be the best approach for this?
Thanks in advance
Vivek

Hi,
It's possible in theory. Just one thing, too many selections in an InfoPackage may not work (I remember about 1,000 or 10,000, not very sure).
I'd like suggest loading a range rather than so many selections. For example, say you have below documents:
1000
1001
1005
1010
Then just load from 1000 to 1010, and create a start routine in your update rule/transformation. There you can do this:
1. select records from the table where you store flat file, using the same selection (1000 to 1010)
2. For every records in DATA_PACKAGE, using READ TABLE statement to check whether that record exist in the table. If not exist then simply delete it from DATA_PACKAGE
I think that would have much better performance. Let us know if you have further questions.
Regards,
Frank

Need to write ABAP Routine at infopackage Selection Options

Hi All,
I need to write ABAP Routine at Info Package Selection Options.
Requiremnet i need to bring some Sales Document Types (Sales Orders Types) only from R/3.
Ex I need OrderTypes ZQT,ZSIV etc
Can any body help to resolve this.
Regards,
P.C.V.

Hi P.C.V,
If the order type field is already available in the Data Selection Tab of the InfoPackage, then you just need to place your selections there (e.g. order type = ZQT, ZSIV) without the need to use ABAP routines.
If ever you really need an ABAP routine, here is an example ABAP routine. The most important concept is to modify the range table l_t_range so that the selection reflect what you need.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
data: w_startdate like sy-datum,
      w_startweek like scal-week,
      w_maxdate like sy-datum,
      w_maxweek like scal-week.
w_startdate = sy-datum.
w_maxdate = w_startdate + 104 * 7.
* Calculate horizon for extraction
CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_GET_WEEK'
    EXPORTING
      DATE         = w_startdate
    IMPORTING
      WEEK         = w_startweek
    EXCEPTIONS
      DATE_INVALID = 1
      OTHERS       = 2.
CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_GET_WEEK'
    EXPORTING
      DATE         = w_maxdate
    IMPORTING
      WEEK         = w_maxweek
    EXCEPTIONS
      DATE_INVALID = 1
      OTHERS       = 2.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = 'CALWEEK'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
          l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_t_range-option = 'BT'.
          l_t_range-low = w_startweek.
          l_t_range-high = w_maxweek.
          modify l_t_range index l_idx.

Number of Lines limited in InfoPackage Selection?

Hello Experts!
I have 2 InfoPackage in order to load Data from ODS1 into ODS2. Selection is made for customer number - exact criteria is made via Abap Routine in InfoPackage. (InfoPackage 1 has all customers meeting a certain criteria - InfoPackage 2 has all the ranges in between the customer Numvers of InfoPackage 1).
Therefore the load of both InfoPackages should load all data - but the problem is, I only get a small part of the Data. In ODS 1 there are some 2.800.000 entries and in ODS2 the load of the 2 InfoPackages only select about 30.000 entries.
Since the selection criteria in monitoring seem fine - do you have any idea where the problem comes from? Is there a max. number of lines for selection to be made in infoPackage?
Thanks for your help!
Angelika

Hi Angelika,
check out the monitor --> in the request tree check the numbers coming into the update rules an coming out of the update rules, may be you are loosing some records there. The only thing that I know about the size of selections is that you will get a dump if you have to many entries in a select-option table (and having those lines in a infopackage is nothing else).
Another reason might be a missing alpha conversion of the entries in the infopackage.
kind regards
Siggi
