Infoset query extract

Hi BW gurus
Can someone give me a solution to do query extracts to a flat file on queries built on infosets.
rscrm_bapi does not support it, and creating infospokes is not feasible for this, i tried APD as well and looks like APD does not support infoset queries either. we are on 3.5
Sam

Try creating a multiprovider based on your Infoset, I had the same problem, awhile ago. RSCRM_BAPI doenst support flat file extraction from Infoset and we are in BI 7, eventually we took another route to get the flat file to them and not from the query.
However, while testing it, it seemed to have worked. Let us know how you progressed.
Best Wishes...

Issue while extracting data using Gen DS of Type Infoset Query

Hi All,
We have a Generic Data source created using the Infoset query. I get some data discrepency when i am extracting the data with the same DS. The data for the Field Amount in the R3 and the PSA is different. When i try to check the same using the RSA3 T-Code i am unable to execute the Gen DS in R3 production where as its working fine in R3 Dev, and i am able to execute the other DS in the R3 production using the RSA3 T-code.
My concerns ::--
1. if the DS is working fine in R3 Dev in RSA3 the y i am facing the problem in Production.
2. Y i am getting the different data in R3 and PSA since PSA shuld be the replicate of R3?
3. How can i resolve this problem.??
Thanks in Advance
Regards

Thanks venkat,
I am having the authorization to execute the query in R3 production, As i am able to execute the other DS in RSA3 . But not able to execute this DS i had also checked it is active n working fine when loading the Data.
There is only one routine ie to transfer rule from lower to upper of a char value.
As der r routines in Update Rule but i have to get the same data in PSA which is der in R3.
The Routine of Update Rules will be executed when loading the data to the Targets right so the data may b vary in Data targets but y i am getting different data in PSA .
Pls thru some light.
Regards

Extract error for an Infoset Query based Datasource

Hello All,
When I test a Info set Query Extraction in RSA3, I am facing the error message:
The field 'ZBW_EXTRACT' is unknown, but there are following fields with similar name '%COUNT-ZBW_EXTRACT'.
Syntax Error in Program 'AQZZSYSTBWGENER.....'
The Program is an Internal system generated program.
Has anyone faced the issue and know the way out..?
Definitely, will award points..
Thanks in advance,
Ameya.

Hi Ameya,
which system are you testing this? I mean are you testing this in dev or qa? If you are testing in QA, make sure you import the infoset correctly. It is a different procedure. Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

When to go for generic extraction using view and infoset query?

Hi,
Can anyone clarify me when we should go for generic extraction using view and when we should go for generic extraction using infoset query....
Also what is the difference between view and infoset?
I tried but could not find out....
Regards,
Kalyani.

Hi Kalyani,
We normally go for View or infoset when the data to be fetched in BW is distributed in different tables in SAP R/3.
Had the data been available in one table we can easily build our datasource on that table but if there are more tables then its not possible to do it without Views or Infosets. You can use Function Modules to build your datasource in case it involves complex logic to figure out the data from various tables.
Depending upon the table relationships we create view and include various fields from these tables in that view. Same is with the Infosets, you can have more flexible options like Outer Join, left outer Join etc.

Generic Extraction using Infoset Query

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create on Infoset query on the R3 side for creating one generic Extractor Joining EKKO and EKPO table.
u2022I have created the User group in SQ03.
u2022I have created the Infoset in SQ02 and selected few 5/6 fields from each EKKO and EKPO tables into the Field Groups of the Infoset.
u2022I have generated the Infoset and assigned it to the user group created on SQ03
u2022I have created a query on SQ01 using this Infoset and deselected the u201Ctextu201D fields created by default and selected the Basic list. Done everything needs to be done in there.
Now when I am going to RSO2 and created the extractor using that Infoset, I am not seeing the Function groups that I have created in the Infoset in the Extract Structure, rather its pulling all the fields that is there in the Infoset joining both tables. It should show me those 5/6 fields that is there in the field group.
I just want to see only those 5/6 fields in the extract structure of the DS.
I am not sure what is missing.
Any documentation on the same or if anyone faced similar problem, please help.

Hi,
You can create the infosets in r/3 using the t code Sq01,sq03 etc.
You can create a generic extractor in r/3 using the tcode rso2 and that you can specify the infoset name.

Extraction using infoset query.

Hi,
I have an extractor in R/3 which is using infoset for extraction. The infoset contains some logic for extraction. I want to debugg the infoset. As the infoset is not attached to a query how can i debugg the code written in infoset.
Thanks & Regards,
Soumya.

Soumya,
If the problem is in the data which is being extracted from R/3 then debug the datasource by:
use transaction RSA3 in R/3 to execute the datasource and put a tick in the option "Debug Mode".

Generic Extraction - query view and infoset query difference

Hi Guys,
I want to know the Generic datasource difference between Extraction from view and Extraction from Query .I have read some threads and documents, still i am not getting the exact difference.
My understanding :
Views: combination of tables to view the end result , we use views.
Infoset query also with help of SQ01, 02, 03 : we combine tables to see the result.
both use primary key to select the data.
Please help me.
Thanks ,
Nithi.

Hi Nithi ,
When we build the datasource on the View
View is basically a table in which you can take data from many table combniation .
in view you can specify the table join condtion and selection condtion
View data gets updated as the data in the source table gets updated
When we build the datasource on the Infoset
Data source str gets filled from the infoset query .you need to use SQ01 and Sq02 transaction for this
in infoset you can define the tables from which you want to read the date .There is also facilty to write ABAP code which will process the data and fill the the data source str using infoset query
infoset query read the data from infoset and transfer to data structure
Thanks

Addtional Structure on InfoSet query of Logical database

Hi Experts,
We have a logical database on which we are supposed to create an InfoSet query. We could create the InfoSet query and also the query on top of it.
We have a requirement to add addtional fiels which are not part of the logical database. The addtional fields are in a strucuture. I added the strucuture using the Extras option, but I need help on how to extract data from this strucuture.
Can you please help me with a sample code:
Logical Database in question is - FTI_TR_PERIODS
Structure to be included is - VTG_IRATE_STRUCTURE
Field in structure to be included is - PKOND, SKOART
As this is a structure we cannot right a select statement, and I am very new to abap and require help on how to extract data from the structure.
Thanks for your help.

BW Datasource on an Infoset Query based on 2 DSO Active tables

Hello,
We have created a Datasource in the BW system over an Infoset query (through SQ02) built on 2 DSO tables.
In RSA3, this datasource is working fine - it shows us some data (close to 1000 records).
The issue is when i try and run a infopackage for the datasource.
The request times out and no records are fetched.
I have added all the users to the Infoset user group - so, no issue with the authorization.
IDoc Statuses changes from 53 --> 62 --> 64 --> 50.
The extraction process does not complete - does not get the no. of records sent.
Can anybody point to a probable cause here?
Thank you.

IDoc logs do not say much.
Status Record 53: IDoc was successfully transferred
Status Record 62: IDoc passed to application; Direct call started
Status Record 64: IDoc ready to be transferred to application; No filter, no conversion
Status Record 50: IDoc added
Then, it does not go any further.
We're using the Datasource on the Infoset query because we could not use the traditional BW infoset.
Datsource is used to feed a DSO as we directly could not use anything else (we're trying with an expert routine also).
The issue is that the base DSO tables are huge and querying on them (using SELECT) is taking a very long time.
So, we thought of using an Infoset to create a view and then populatet he data.
In an traditional infoset, we could not specify a condition with a range. So, the infoset query through SQ02.
I have not tried using an APD, but that might be a good option.
Only thing, we'll have to use a Direct DSO - which i am not sure will satisfy our requirement.
Thank you.

Advices about creating a datasource from an infoset query

Hi all,
i have to create a datasource with extraction from an infoset query in R3, i have many questions:
1- i have heard about the bad performance using a Datasource from an Infoset query, how can i improve this?
2- The infoset query doesnt exist in R3 Develop, but this exist in R3 Prod, what do i must to do? create a false infosetquery in R3 D, with just the same name of the info set query in R3 Prod? or what else?,
3- some material to improve this development about create datasources from an infoset query.
thanks guys!

Hi,
You can verywell use infoset query if you are doing following things
Join using Keyfields to retreive data from tables
If not using keyfields create index for those table fields in those fields which will improve in accessing database
Try to use minimum of tables of small size dont try to join big tables like GLPCA and all.
Try to load small set of data like a period or month. Dont try for a year or so.
if your performance is good for aperiod you can go for a year.
If you are good in function module you can try function module in which you will have the option of specifying no of records to be selected usign package size.
Hope this helps for you.
Thanks,
Arun

Infoset query properties

hai all,
What are the detailed properties of Infoset Query in Generic Extraction? and what are the various senarios in real time where it works?
kumar reddy.

Hi
Infoset query works on join conditions. When you want data from more than one table which are related to each other, you can use a infoset query to extract data required from both the tables and use it in query.

When we would create genric extractor on a infoset query

hi All,
we have infoset queries inour R/3 But very confused whether i should i go for generic with querry or genric with views.
Actually the scenario is I have the insfoset query on logical data base
I can create a generic extractor with view from the tables used by above infoset query. but there are structures in that infoset query .
so to create an generic extractor with view on a structure is not possible neither a function module is possible.
last option is creating generic extractor with view and enhancing the extractor with required fields form structure.
but i feel it would be very easy creating a generic with the same infoset querry
can u give me suggestion pls
All the answers would be appreciated by points
Thanks and Regards,

Hi...
SAP Query / InfoSet Query is a powerful tool for defining reports in the SAP
source systems and supports different forms of reporting. It allows users to define
and execute their own reports on data in the SAP system without any knowledge
of the ABAP programming language.
Reports are structured by entering texts and selecting fields and options in SAP
Query. The relevant fields can be selected more easily using InfoSets (before
release 4.6C, InfoSets were known as functional areas).
InfoSets are viewed as DataSources. These data sources can be used for extracting into SAP BW.
To create an InfoSet from the DataSource definition, perform these steps:
1. Fill out all the required entry fields (application component, descriptions).
2. Choose Extraction from Query.
3. Choose Save. A new screen is displayed.
4. Assign a name for your InfoSet and choose InfoSet Maintenance.
5. In the screen that follows, choose Create.
6. Select the data source (DB tables/views, joins, logical DB, and so on).
7. Define the field groups and assign the fields
An InfoSet is a special view of a dataset (logical database, table join, table,
sequential file) that is used by SAP Query as a data source. InfoSets, therefore,
determine the tables or fields in these tables that can be referenced by a report. In
most cases, InfoSets are based on logical databases.
SAP Query features a component for maintaining InfoSets. When you create an
InfoSet, a data source in an application system is selected. SAP Query is relevant
for the Business InformationWarehouse because it allows you to define the extract
structure by selecting fields in a logical database, table join or other datasets in the form of an InfoSet. In this way, you can use the generic data extraction function for master or transaction data from any InfoSet. When you do so, a query is created for an InfoSet that retrieves data and transfers it to the generic extractor.
InfoSets represent an additional, convenient data source for extracting data
generically. Logical databases in all SAP applications, table joins and further
datasets can be used as a data source for SAP BW.
Hope this would help u
with regards,
hari kv

Infoset Query Usage

Hello All,
I am trying to create generic data source in RSO2 by using Infoset Query Method.I would like to extract around 7 lakh records from it.
my query is: how about desiging an infoset query which has to pull around 7 lakh records once in a month?
please let me know if theer will be any performance issues in doing this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Why you don't use "Extraction from View" method in RSO2 ?

Additional fields in infoset query can not be used as datasource fields

I create one infoset query with additional fields (using ABAP code) in R/3. When I create datasource RSO2 using this infoset query, system only show all fields without additional fields that I enhanced in infoset query. Does that mean we can not get additional fields information in generic datasource creation that we enhanced in infoset query?

dear Awa,
you are enhanced some fields in r/3.right that fields are shown in
rsa6 select your data source click on display your datasource then select
extract structure its shows how many fields are haveing particular
datasource .or otherwise goto rso2 select your data source display
double click on your extractstructure its show how many fields haveing
the particular datasource. check the Rsa6 what ever fields you newly added that field default hide mode
you remove the hide tickmark.
