InfoSpoke keys

Hello Gurus,
I have a performance trouble when reading a table that is generated by an infoSpoke. The infoSpoke generates the table with technical keys, wich I cant use in the my abap queries, which makes the select veeeery slow. if I don't use the technical keys the infospoke dumps because of duplicate records? Is there a way of combining the technical keys with the "normal" key fields?
Best regards Ballo

Hi,
try this....
Go to SM37 , find the job , stop the process
or
To stop the job find the job with the help of the request name ( TC - SM37 ),then in the job Details find the PID .
find the process in the process Overview (SM50 / SM51 ).
Set the restart to NO and Cancel the process without core
u can also see these threads that are already posted:
[stopping v3 run job LIS-BW-VB_APPLICATION_02_010;

Include non-cumulative key figure in InfoSpoke

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create InfoSpoke for AR Line Item Cube(0FIAR_C03) with all infoObjects.
This includes non-cumulative key figures such as
0DSCT_DAYS1 (Days for first cash discount)
0DSCT_PCT1 (Percentage for first cash discount)
However, InfoSpoke run failed and following messages is displayed.
Error in SQL Statement: SAPSQL_ILLEGAL_AGGREGATE NOP
Does the infoSpoke not support non-cumulative key figures?
It worked fine when I remove all the non-cumulative key figures from the InfoSpoke.
*I certainly set 1 for 0RECORDTP(Record Type) in the selection tab as SAP Help instructed
Thank you for your answers in advance.

Records with duplicate key in Infospoke

Hello
I have a question with regard to the output produced by a Delta Extraction Mode infospoke.
I have an Infospoke running across a single cube that pulls a number of characteristics and key figures from said cube. The infospoke uses delta extraction and is run as part of a process chain after the successful update of the said infocube.
The output file contains two records for each record that exists in the cube .....
The first record contains all the characteristics and the correct values for the key figures - this record corresponds with the associated record in the cube.
The second record contains all the characteristics as the previous record but, all the key figures contain '0' values.
The two records in the infospoke output file are always sequential. Every valid record (ie record I would expect to see) has a duplicate with '0' value key figures.
Has anyone experienced this? As the key figure values for the output always correspond when totalled I am not too concerned at this stage but just wondered if anyone has seen this before.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sally

Hi Sally,
Info spoke first extract data from F fact table and then from E fact table. If you are extracting data into an table you can choose request id and package id as key on top of characteristics. But when you are extracting data into flat file you cant. so you will get multiple records.
Try to extract the data into a table and check the difference. If you have same characteristic combination records available in E & F fact table you will get 2 records in 2 different request nos(Check in the Open Hub Monitor).

HI
I have created Infospoke (3.5) with DB table .ODS is feeding data to the Info spoke .There is one info object (ovendor) which i am reading from master data in the ods ,but in the info spoke i need vendor key and text when i run the Db table .Is it feasible to have vendor text fetched at runtime by using Badi if so please give me sample code where i can bring Text information.
Please reply me imm
-PN

Hi Sri,
Thanks for your input, but I can locate the fix method.
Following is the some pic for the configuratino:
1. Access sequence for text determination:
1) Text procedure:

http://i3.6.cn/cvbnm/42/c8/0e/6ea2bce637e4ef51dccf102a67e99b91.jpg
And I am not sure how to find the access sequence for delivery - pick slip, Is it realted to the output type for the pick slip?
If possible, could you explain how the text link to the output type?

Infospoke data extraction fail

Hello Experts,
I created an infopoke for my cube and extracting the data into a DBtable. I get this error:
'Unable to activate the table /BIC/OHZISPKA1'
Where ZISPKA1 is the infospoke created.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
SWM

You can check for the following:
1.Check whether you selected the Infoobjects
2.If infoobjects are selected then check if you have placed the key fields at the begining of the table.
3.In case if you have checked the Technical key then you need not select the key fields at the begining of the table.
While activating it gives an error message along iwth long text ..click on the long text help button..and see the description of the error.

REG: How to add new fields to existing Infospoke

Hi All,
We have an existing Infospoke, It has ODS as a Source and some fields are being pulled.
But here is the scenario....
I need some extra fields that are available in other ODS. How to add that fields ?
By some research came to know that.. I need to lookup on the ODS and populate into existing Infospoke.How to add these fields to InfoSpoke using BAdi implementaion.
Note: already BAdi is active in the infospoke.
Please help me in this regard

Hi Chase,
As you mentioned that BADI is already implemented then I guess you should be able to extend the existing BADI itself.
For doing lookup first you should know the key fields of source DSO then by using the existing field of Infospoke you will have to read data from DSO.
DATA: it_data type standard table of 'DSO Name'.
select Key1 key2 etc...
          Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
          from DSO
          into table it_data
          for all entries of infospoke
         where key1 = infospoke1-key1
                     key2 = infospoke2-key2.
This will give you all the required records from source DSO into internal table it_data. Now you using this table you can populate the original table of Infospoke.

Durgesh.

Problem in adding a field in infospoke table

Hello,
I have an infospoke ZSOCOMMN in BW 3.5 whose datasource is infocube ZSD_C61 and the db table generated is /BIC/OHZSOCOMMN .
The requirement is to add a field ZEND_UAM( End User Account Manager ) in the above infospoke table.
This field ZEND_UAM is present in the infocube ZSD_C61 . So when I try to pull this field from the infocube to infospoke , and when I activate the infospoke , the field gets added in the source structure /BIC/CYZSOCOMMN , but I dont see this field in the target structure /BIC/CZZSOCOMMN.
Also the db table /BIC/OHZSOCOMMN is not getting updated with the new field which it should do automatically.
Can anyone provide me any solution to this what could be the problem?
Immediate help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shilpi

Hi Shilpi,
Since all characteristics in the cube create key fields in the target table of the infospoke, you may not be able to add a new one, if you have data in the target table of the infospoke.
You can try to delete data from the table, and change your infospoke.
Let me know, if it helps

Report Data on Infospoke

Hi,
we have infospokes extracting data to files on app server.
Now can i create a bex report to report data on 3 app server files created by infospokes.
if yes, how do i do it?
thanks
kar

Hi
I don't think it will be possible to create a bex report on flat files on application server.
why i think so is-
1.How will the query identifies the infoprovider?
2. How does it know what is a char and and what is a key figure?
3. How does the query know the data type of each field?
But you should be able to access the data and display in your required format by writing unix or perl scripts and get the data in the format you want.( here i am not talking about bex reports, but talking about an option to read data from app server)

Raghu

BADI in InfoSpoke

Hello,
I would like to use a BADI to transform data from a source structure to a target structure in an InfoSpoke.
I am having trouble changing target structure. Apparently, there should be some HOW TO document (How To..Change an Infospoke's extraction layout).
Has anyone come across this document??? I am not able to find it anywhere.
Further, does anyone know how to customize the target structure. I am trying to get a file in the following format:
COST_CENTER COST_CENTER_TEXT COST_ELEM COST_ELEM_TEXT AMT
I am extracting the data from the cube:0CCA_C11. As I activate the BADI in the InfoSpoke, BW automatically creates a Source Structure (/BIC/CYZCOCCC11_IS001 for e.g.) & a Target Structure (/BIC/CZZCOCCC11_IS001 for e.g.)
I have the following problems:
BW forces me extract the Currency Field with the Amount Key Figure. I do not want the Currency Field as I am extracting data in only one currency CO Area Currency.
When I do make changes & try to save it, BW does not allow me to use a normal customer defined Package/Development Class starting with Z*. It provides a message that the Target Structure should be stored in a Package for generated objects starting with /BIC/. SAP does not seem to allow me create such a package in SE80.
Would anyone have answers to these issues??
Thank you in advance.
Raja

Hi Rajasekhar,
Hope I understood your issue correctly.
Issue:
Ignore CURRENCY in the o/p.
Solution:
This can be done in two ways:
1. In the BAdI TARGET STRUCTURE, ensure that, this field is not selected. Hence, in the BAdI ensure that you populate the data correctly to the respective fields.
2. O/P the file with Currency and hence use a ABAP program to re-translate this file to another one without the CURRENCY characters.
By default CURRENCY is comes along with either Net Value or so.
These are the steps I followed:
1. Goto RSBOH1.
2. Create your InfoSpoke with default options.
3. Activate you InfoSpoke.
4. Go to the tab "Transformations" and check the box "InfoSpke with ... BAdI".
5. This will take you to the BAdI. In the BAdI enter the filter to be your InfoSpoke Name.
6. Activate the BAdI.
7. Goto SE12 and edit the TARGET STRUCTURE and ACTIVATE it.
8. Go back to the BAdI and write the source code for the BAdI.
Thats it!!
Hope this helps.

GPK.

Extracting delta through infoSpoke

Hi,
We are planning to extract delta information from an ODS but we are also using a lot of selection criteria to extract just few Characteristics and Key figures. How is it accomplished

Hi,
Create a Infospoke based on ur ODS , Select the infoobjects in to the right hanbd side in the infoobjects tab and then give your selections in the selection screen. If you wnat the delta first you need to initialize your infospoke and then run the delta on a daily basis.
You can just create a program when ur ODS gets loaded to trigger the process chain where in ur infospoke is available.
Assign points if it helps

InfoSpoke Problems

Hi All,
I am loading master data using Open Hub Service from BW to Application Server.
At the moment they are loading Mdata text.
Now i need to make some selections on infoobject attributes to load selected texts from infoobject text.
How can i overcome this.
regards.
Chandu.

Hi,
on the tabstrip "TRANSFORMATION", activate the tick-box InfoSpoke with transformation...
In the properties of the next dynpro (in the lower half of the screen) assign in the type your InfoSpoke.
Then go to the Interface TabStrip and to the method TRANSFORM assign ABAP-Routine.
Save and go back to the infoSpoke.
Then doubleclick onto the method again.
the double click on the method "TRANSFORM".
Now you're there, where you need to maintain the coding:
First define your criteria-table. Find out what the criteria are and selfdefine your itab.
data: l_s_data_in type /bic/cymyspoke.
(the proper name of /bic/cymyspoke can be seen in the Target-Structure on the TRANSFORMATION Tab-Strip.)
DATA: begin of wa_criteria.
       field1 (with type and or lenght).
       field2.
       field3.
      end of wa_criteria.
DATA: itab_criteria like sorted table of wa_criteria with non-unique key field1 with header line.
clear itab_criteria.
refresh itab_criteria.
*now fill the criteria-table from wherever the criteria *is stored.
select field1 field2 field3 from table <source table> into corresponding fields of table itab_criteria where ...
*Now check the validity
clear e_t_data_out.
loop at i_t_data_in into l_s_data_in.
   read itab_critera with table key
    field1 = l_s_data_in-field1 AND
    field2 = l_s_data_in-field2 AND
    field3 = l_s_data_in-field3.
if sy-subrc = 0.
   append l_s_data_out to table e_t_data_out.
endif.
endloop.
endmethod.
Remember: it is a suggestion. The final coding (definition, criteria and so on) must have been done by yourself or a developer in your company.

Open Hub Vs Infospoke

Hi All,
In BW 7 We are using Open Hub & previously using Infospoke in BW 3.5. My question is in infospoke we have the flexibility of using BADI but in Open Hub we dont have that option. can we still use infospoke instead of Open HUB. Are there any advantages of open hub over infospoke.
Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi,
The open hub service enables you to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, you can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for the export of data is the InfoSpoke. Using this, you can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred.
Through the open hub service, SAP BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the distribution status in the BW system.
Functions
BW objects such as InfoCubes, ODS objects, or InfoObjects (attributes or texts) can act as open hub data sources. You can select database tables or flat files as open hub destinations. Both a full and a delta mode are also available as the extraction mode.
Components of the Open Hub Service
The open hub service is made up of the following objects:
InfoSpoke
The central object for the data export is the InfoSpoke.
The InfoSpoke defines the following:
u2022 The open hub data source from which the data is extracted
u2022 The extraction mode
u2022 The open hub destination into which the data is delivered.
In addition, you can also select which data selection is to be extracted from which InfoProviders. This selection ensures that a destination for different points in time from the same InfoProvider can be supplied with data for different selection criteria using a delta. The selection set is freely configurable as long as extraction has not taken place in the delta mode. Once it has, this no longer applies.
Open Hub Data Source
BW objects such as InfoCubes, ODS objects, MultiProviders and MultiProviders and InfoObjects (attributes or texts) can function as open hub data sources. If you use an InfoCube with non-cumulative key figures as a data source, refer to the note regarding the settings on the Selection tab page in Creating InfoSpokes.
Extraction Mode
An InfoSpoke can extract data in two ways: in full mode (F) and in delta mode (D). See InfoSpoke Extraction Mode.
Open Hub Destination
Database tables (from the database in the BW system) and flat files (CSV) can act as open hub destinations. See also Extraction to Database Tables and Extraction to Flat Files. You can extract the data from a database to a non-SAP system using APIs with a third-party tool. See also Extraction to Non-SAP Systems.
The open hub destination includes all information about a target system for the InfoProvider data: type of destination, name of the flat file or the database table. It also contains a logical target system. The logical target system is used to structure the individual open hub destinations in the open hub monitor. The open hub monitor groups the requests according to logical target system, open hub destination and InfoSpoke. By specifying a logical target system, you get a better overview of the individual open hub requests.

Infospoke (Open Hub)

Hi,
I want to retrieve the contents of a query to a flat file suing infpsoke and not rscrm_bapi due to some consistency issues. The query i am interested in has certain calculated key figures (summations of cumulative key figures). Since the infospoke cannot extract calculated key figures into a table or file, is there an option of doing this?
Is BADI an option to bring in the calculated key figures into a file or table?
Thanks

Hi,
You can use the BADI within the infospoke to actually perform the calculations and then extract out the data to table or file. So, yes you can basically manipulate the data using the BADI and then extract it.
Cheers,
Kedar
