Infospokes for Infocubes and ODS

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to create Infospokes using ascii flat file interface.....
Can we create using ascii file format and would also like to know any other alternate means for the same.
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:
2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
2.b) All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
2.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
2.d) The file should be archived in the
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory. Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format. Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
you have to goto LISTCUBE. Where you can get the no of records per month.There you have to specify the particulour month of fiscal period.
-Click on manage tab of the cube and go to content and then click on fact table. you can see no. of recs.
-same for ods and click on active table button. you can see no. of records.
-go to Se16
enter table name RSRREPDIR . Press F8
Enter your cube name. also give OBJVERS = A .. execute..
Take the ODS active table name /BIC/AXXXXXXX00
enter in SE16 and enter and click on number of entries button on top.
pls go thru this
Number of Records in Cube

  • The table for storing data for infocube and ODS

    Hi all:
        could you please tell me how to find the table for storing data for infocube and ODS?
    thank you very much!

    Hi Jingying Sony,
    To find tables for any infoprvider go to SE11.
    In database table field enter the following
    Cube -
    Has fact table and dimension table
    For customized cube - ie cube names not starting with ' 0 '
    Uncompressed Fact table - /BIC/F<infocubename>
    Compressed fact table - /BIC/E<infocubename>
    Dimension table - /BIC/D<infocubename>
    For standard cube - ie cube names  starting with ' 0 '
    Uncompressed Fact table - /BI0/F<infocubename>
    Compressed fact table - /BI0/E<infocubename>
    Dimension table - /BI0/D<infocubename>
    Click on display.
    For DSO,
    For standard DSO active table- /BI0/A<DSO name>00.
    You use 40 for new table.
    Click on display.
    For customized DSO use- /BIC/A<DSO name>00.
    An easier way is in the database table field, write the name of the cube/DSO preceeded and followed by ' * ' sign. Then press F4 . It shall give you the names of the available table for that info provider.
    Double click on the name and choose display.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards,
    Sunmit.

  • Develop report based on INFOCUBE and ODS

    Hi,
      Pls, can anybody help regarding developing reports based on INFOCUBE
    and ODS object
    i am using SAP BW 7.0
    what is the transaction code for reports
    what are the steps to develop reports
    Thanks\
    - Mubeen.

    There is no transaction code as such as you have to use the front-end application to create queries off your Cubes/ ODS.
    open Bex query designer -> select info provider (cube or ods) -> drag and drop the keyfigures in columns, -> char in rows -> save.
    Also look at

  • Infocube and ODS populated with DATA (need to add one more field?)

    Hi,
      If infocube and ODS have been populated with data for past 3 months. Then we need to add one more field to this cube. What is the impact? Please advise.
    The following is my understanding. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    1) Need to delete content of ODS and infocube.
    2) insert the new field at ODS and infocube.
    3) reload the data into ODS and infocube.
    Is there a way that the current data need not be deleted.
    Just add in this new field and only subsequent month, infocube will have this new field? Please advise what is the best approach without affecting existing data.

    Hi,
    Siggi is right. You dont need to delete the previously loaded data to CUBE or ODS. The only catch is that, your new field will be empty as far as history is concerned. But so long as you did map it to the datasource and the datasource is able to fill it up, then your new field will now have value for incoming DELTA Updates.
    Addition of a field is not that complicated compared to deletion of a field from CUBE or ODS.

  • Multiprovider on top of Infocube and ods

    Hi,
    I'm just wondering, I would like to create an Multiprovider on top of infocube and ods. While creating multirovider I can able to see my infocube but in ODS tab I'm not getting ODS which I need to consider.
    I've gone through all available ODS's in ODS tab while creating Multiprovider but my ODS  is coming here.
    I'm working on BW 3.5 Version.
    Advance thanks you very much.

    Hi,
    Just check weather u have any keyfigur in ur DSO or not. If not just add one keyfigur in your ODS and activate it and then try to look for it in multiprovider.
    Hope it will help you.
    Thanks

  • What is the difference in createdelete indexes for  infocube and DTP ?

    Hi experts,
    Can anyone  tell me what is the difference in create\delete index process for infocube and create\delete index for  DTP or Infopackage? If i add into a chain an Infopackage then DTP  then Delete request processes,   system generates for all of them delete\create index processes  by default. Is that nesesary  leave them all or is that enough to leave only the ones for infocube?
    Thank you,
    Tigr_Z

    Hi Tigr,
    This delete/create index step is to make the load faster. This can be done on a infocube. Before loading data to infocube it is suggested by SAP to delete index and after loading again create the index.
    If you want to execute these steps through process chain, there are process types for delete/create index. It is related to infocube not to any DTP/Infopackage. Before loading to the cube add one DROPINDEX step (deleting) in the chain. After completion of loading add one INDEXING step (creating) in the chain.
    Thanks,

  • Value of Infocube and ODS Line Item for a Reporting User.

    Hi,
    I want to give authorizatoin to a reporting user for InfoCube as well as ODS Line Item . I tried give values of InfoCube as well as value of ODS Line Item in Auth. Object "S_RS_COMP" in the field of Infocube. But it only accepts the value of Infocube. Then where shall I specify the value of ODS Object.
    Please guide
    Sam

    Hi Suneel,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Do you mean to say the check box in RSA1->EDit ODS Object->Settings->BEx Reporting ?
    If you  mean the same one, then it is already checked. But still am not getting the ODS Names in Infocube field of S_RS_COMP.

  • Performance difference between InfoCube and ODS

    Hello guys,
    I have to implement a data contrainer with round about 40 millions entries and more than 50 characteristics/items.
    The question is fairly easy - what kind of data contrainer (ÍnfoCube or ODS-Object) is more powerful on reporting aspects, adopted i set up secondary indexes for specific characteristics on the ODS-Objekt or use line item dimensions for same characteristics at an InfoCube.
    Thx 4 advise
    Markus

    Hi Markus,
    from the point of view of reporting Cubes offer powerfull tools for improving performances.
    One of the most important is the logical partitioning: if you have different years in your data you can split cubes for year and then aggregate all with a MultiProvider.
    The system during query run will split the single query into several queries reading in parallel the single cubes under the Multiprovider.
    Check in Business Intelligence area of SDN, you will find a document for performance improvement.
    Ciao.
    Riccardo.

  • Differences between an InfoCube and ODS object

    Hello All,
    I am always hearing that an ODS overwrites data while a cube adds data loaded, and an ODS is a flat table etc.
    Does anyone have a comprehensive document/article on how they differ so that I can be weary when doing data loads etc and be in a better position to not make a mistake when deleting data out of the targets etc, especially since financial data is so sensitive.
    Thank you and kind regards,
    Keith Kibuuka

    Hi Keith,
    I found below data on another site..
    The most important difference between ODS and BW is the existence of key fields in the ODS. In the ODS you can have up to 16 info objects as key fields. Any other info objects will either be added or overwritten! So if you have flat files and want to be able to upload them multiple times you should not load them directly into the info cube, otherwise you need to delete the old request before uploading a new one. There is the disadvantage that if you delete rows in the flat file the rows are not deleted in the ODS.
    I also use ODS-Objects to upload control data for update or transfer routines. You can simply do a select on the ODS-Table /BIC/A<ODSName>00 to get the data.
    ODS is used as an intermediate storage area of operational data for the data ware house . ODS contains high granular data . ODS are based on flat tables , resulting in simple modeling of ODS .
    we can cleanse transform merge sort data to build staging tables that can later be used to populate INOFCUBE .
    Thanks
    An infocube is a multidimentionsl dat acontainer used as a basis for analysis and reporting processing. The infocube is a fact table and their associated dimension tables in a star schema. It looks like a fact table appears in the middle of the graphic, along with several surrounding dimension tables. The central fact is usually very large, measured in gigabytes. it is the table from which you retrieve the interesting data. the size of the dimension tables amounts to only 1 to 5 percent of hte size of the fact table. common dimensions are unit & time etc. There are different type of infocubes in BW, such as basic infocubes, remote infocubes etc.
    An ODS is a flat data container used for reporting and data cleansing/quality assurance purpose. They are not based on star schema and are used primaily for detail reporting rather than for dimensional analyais.
    An infocube has a fact table, which contains his facts (key figures) and a relation to dimension tables. This means that an infocube exists of more than one table. These tables all relate to each other. This is also called the star scheme, because the dimension tables all relate to the fact table, which is the central point. A dimension is for example the customer dimension, which contains all data that is important for the customer.
    An ODS is a flat structure. It is just one table that contains all data.
    Most of the time you use an ODS for line item data. Then you aggregate this data to an infocube.

  • URGENT: Data discrepency for Cube and ODS 0fi_ar_4

    Hi all,
    I am having problems for ODS 0fiar_o03 and Cube 0fiar_c03...
    They have been initialised a year  back and delta was running almost correctly since then. ..some sometime in August they started showing discrepency from standard R/3 code FBL5N.
    The cube and ODs are having exact data till 31/07.2006  .
    I tried to delete all data in Cube and ODs by selective deletion of fiscal periods 005.2006 to 008.2006 and reload again from R/3..but still data not matching. Why is that so?
    Please suggest steps to correct it. Will assign points.

    Dear Andy,
    First tell us that how can you say that data is inconsistent? I mean on what criteria you consolidate data.
    Secondly have you checked in R3 that after 31.07.2006 was there any change or anything new (company code or smthing) added.
    My suggestion would be;
    First:
    1. Go to RSA3 (in R3) and check that are you able to see(pull) the data you want.
    2. Now check wheather it is coming in BW or not?
    3. If coming then manually update cube through data mart.
    Second:
    1. if not able to get data through standard extractor then try to load by flat file. (last option)
    2. check wheather deltas after your repair full upload are giving you correct deltas or not? if not then re-initialize and reshedule deltas.
    Hope it helps, do revert.

  • Load data to a modified InfoCube and ODS used in Production

    Hi,
    I have added few fields (InfoObjects) to the cube(s) and DSOs in BI 7.0. These Cubes and DSOs are BW 3.5 Objects and are in-use in Production.
    My question: After I transport this new/enhanced InfoCube and DSO from Dev/Qua to Production, how to retrieve the old data from original Cube/DSO and populate data to new fields at DSO and Cube level.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    ~S

    Hi Siddhartha Nayak
    As ur enhanced the IC & ODS which r 3.x objects, i guess u havn't used the remodeling tool. Then u have to follow the old procedure to enhancing the cube.
    Create a copy cube , Delete the contents of existing cube, enhance it & load the data to existing cube back from copy cube.
    Same thing u have to follow in ur case also.

  • Can we Run the same Query on Infocube and ODS?

    Hi all,
    There is an ODS A, Currently Query_ABC is created on the ODS A,
    The InfoObjects available in the ODS A are also available in the INFOCUBE B.
    I want to delete the ODS A, So can we create the Query_ABC on INFOCUBE B.
    If so, should i create the Query from scratch or is there any other way to copy the Query_ABC from ODS A to INFOCUBE B.
    Please provide your valuable suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Sowrabh

    HI,
    Actually, Structures appear to be "Global" only within a specifi InfoProvider. If you are using RSZC then you are copying betwee providers, so I would expect that the copy may be having a problem wit the internal ID's associated to the Cells, which are probably derive based on the ID's of the rows and columns.
    Since the Structures don't exist in the destination, or don't have the sam ID's then these pieces cannot be rebuilt in the copied query.
    You could try this to get around having to rebuild:
    1) In your source query make a copy in the same provider and remove the Ro and/or Column Named structure references (you don't delete the structure just make the query so it doesn't reference it). You do this b right-clicking on the structure name in the query, and chose the optio 'Remove reference'. This will make your query as if these details wer built directly in the query. Save this revised query.
    2) Copy the revised query to your destination. Since all components wil contain internal ID's without reference to any external component (Structures) it should be able to copy everything.
    You can then re-save the Row and/or Column definitions as structure associated to the destination InfoProvider, if you wish.
    Thanks

  • Delta and Full Load question for cube and ODS

    Hi all,
    I need to push full load from Delta ODS.
    I have process chain.... in which the steps are like below,
    1. R/3 extractor for ODS1 (delta)
    2. ODS1 to ODS2 (delta)
    3. ODS2 to Cube ---> needs to be full load
    Now when i run process chain by further processing automatically ODS2 does init/delta for Cube.
    How can i make it possible for full load ??
    can any one guide anything in this ?
    Thanks,
    KS

    Hi,
    1. R/3 extractor for ODS1 (delta) :  This is OK, normally you can put the Delta InfoPack in Process Chian
    2. ODS1 to ODS2 (delta): It automatically flow from ODS1 to ODS2 (you need to select Update Data automaticall in the Targets at the time of ODS creation)
    3. ODS2 to Cube ---> needs to be full load  :
    This you create a Update rules from ODS1 to Cube then Create InfoPackage in between ODS2 and Cube then do full loads. You can delete the data in the CUbe before the load ann dthen do Full load to Cube.
    Note: In ODS2 don't select Upadate Data autmaticlly to Data Targets
    Thanks
