Is it possible to created secondary indexes on ODS in Production

Hi,
Is it possible to created secondary indexes on ODS in Production System. I need to create secondary indexes on ODS but it is already in production. Hence Can I directly create secondary indexes without transportation from dev to production?

Hi,
Secondary Indexes for DSO can be transported. For the transport the DSO objects needs to be transported (R3TR ODSO <technical name>.
Additionally, secondary Indexes are necessary quite often for DSO tables, which can be transported. In few cases you need indexes on other BW tables, but they cannot be transported. Never create additional Indexes on InfoCube tables (like E- and F-Fact tables and Dimension tables)
Thanks & B.R.

Can we create secondary index for a cluster table

hi
can we create secondary index for a cluster table

Jyothsna,
There seems to be some kind of misunderstanding here. You <i>cannot</i> create a secondary index on a cluster table. A cluster table does not exist as a separate physical table in the database; it is part of a "physical cluster". In the case of BSEG for instance, the physical cluster is RFBLG. The only fields of the cluster table that also exist as fields of the physical cluster are the leading fields of the primary key. Taking again BSEG as the example, the primary key includes the fields MANDT, BUKRS, BELNR, GJAHR, BUZEI. If you look at the structure of the RFBLG table, you will see that it has primary key fields MANDT, BUKRS, BELNR, GJAHR, PAGENO. The first four fields are those that all cluster tables inside BSEG have in common. The fifth field, PAGENO, is a "technical" field giving the sequence number of the current record in the series of cluster records sharing the same primary key.
All the "functional" fields of the cluster table (for BSEG this is field BUZEI and everything beyond that) exist only inside a raw binary object. The database does not know about these fields, it only sees the raw object (the field VARDATA of the physical cluster). Since the field does not exist in the database, it is impossible to create a secondary index on it. If you try to create a secondary index on a cluster table in transaction SE11, you will therefore rightly get the error "Index maintenance only possible for transparent tables".
Theoretically you could get around this by converting the cluster table to a transparent table. You can do this in the SAP dictionary. However, in practice this is almost never a good solution. The table becomes much larger (clusters are compressed) and you lose the advantage that related records are stored close to each other (the main reason for having cluster tables in the first place). Apart from the performance and disk space hit, converting a big cluster table like BSEG to transparent would take extremely long.
In cases where "indexing" of fields of a cluster table is worthwhile, SAP has constructed "indexing tables" around the cluster. For example, around BSEG there are transparent tables like BSIS, BSAS, etc. Other clusters normally do not have this, but that simply means there is no reason for having it. I have worked with the SAP dictionary for over 12 years and I have never met a single case where it was necessary to convert a cluster to transparent.
If you try to select on specific values of a non-transparent field in a cluster without also specifying selections for the primary key, then the database will have to do a serial read of the whole physical cluster (and the ABAP DB interface will have to decompress every single record to extract the fields). The performance of that is monstrous -- maybe that was the reason of your question. However, the solution then is (in the case of BSEG) to query via one of the index tables (where you are free to create secondary indexes since those tables are transparent).
Hope this clarifies things,
Mark

What is the "No database index" means when you Creating Secondary Indexes?

HI,
   I'm Creating Secondary Indexes in the maintenance screen of the table(se11)
   There are three options under "Non-unique Index":
   1.Index on all database systems
   2.For selected database systems
   3.No database index
My questions is :
What do u mean by "No Database Index" and when is it used.
Can anybody plz tell me what's the difference of this three options ?
Here is what i found in the help:
   No database index: The index is not created in the database. If you
   choose this option for an index that already exists in the database,
   it is deleted when you activate this option.

Hi,
It is clear from the help documentation,
Here see what the help document says:
Create the index in the database (selection)
Whether an index improves or worsens performance often depends on the database system. You can therefore set whether an index defined in the ABAP Dictionary should be created in the database.
This makes it easier to install a platform-specific customer system.
You can set this option as follows:
1. Index in all database systems: The index is always created in the database.
2. In selected database systems: The index is created depending on the database system used. In this option, you must specify the databases in which the indexes are to be created. You can do this either on an inclusive (list of systems on which it should be created) or an exclusinve (list of systems on which it should not be created) basis. In either case, you can list up to four different database systems.
3. No database index:: The index is not created in the database. If you set this option for an index that already exists in the database, it is deleted when you activate the table in the ABAP Dictionary.
Note: Unique indexes have an extra function, and must therefore always be created in the database. The database system prevents entries or index fields being duplicated. Since programs may rely on this database function, you cannot delete unique indexes from the database.
Hope it helps you,

Is it worth creating secondary index on BKPF table ?

Hello,
One of my clients is using ECC version 5.0. I have a requirement wherein I need to fetch the data from BKPF table based on AWKEY, BUKRS and GJAHR. There is no standard secondary index available.
I have decided to create a secondary index on these fields in the following order:
1) MANDT
2) AWKEY
3) BUKRS
4) GJAHR
I know that creating secondary indexes does improve performance during data retrieval. But when I checked the total number of entries in BKPF table in production system, there are more than 20 lac 2 million records.
I am worried that creation of secondary index will create another table of such a large size in production that has data sorted on the above fields. Also, the RAM of production system is 6 GB.
Please suggest if creation of secondary index is a good measure OR should I recommend the client to increase the system RAM?
Regards,
Danish.

Hi,
Secondary Index on BKPF-AWKEY has been successfully created in production. The report which used to timeout in foreground as well as in background is now executing in less than 10 seconds !!
Client is very much satisfied with this. But, there is one problem that we are facing now is that when the user is changing an existing billing document via VF02, on SAVE, system takes a very long time to save the changes done.
We monitored the processes via SM50 and found that there was a sequential read on BKPF table.
Before transporting the index in production, system approximately took not more than 5 seconds to save the Billing Document. But now system takes more than 20 minutes just to save the billing document via VF02.
I really don't know what has gone wrong. I can't figure out if I have missed any step while creating the index.
I did the following,
1) Created a Secondary index on BKPF, saved it in the transport request and activated it. Since the index was not existing in database ORACLE, I activated and adjusted the table via SE14. Now, index exists on database as well. Working perfectly in development.
2) Imported the transport request to Production. Checked in SE11. Index was existing and active. Also, index existed in database ORACLE.
Have I missed anything ? Is it required to activate and adjust the database via SE14 in production too ?
Regards,
Danish.

Guidelines to create secondary index

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get a guidelines to create an optimize secondary index. For eg, how to analyze the list of fields should be included into the secondary index. What can be done and not.
Pls place your comment.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Basically index are provided to improver performance. i.e with index select on database tables retrieves data much faster.
If you are writting select statement on the table where in where clause you have non-primary keys then it takes longer to retriev data from Database table.
If you have select in dbtable on non-primary key you can create Secondary index with keys as per your where clause which result in faster Database table access.
But remember not to create too many secondary indexes on same table which could result in slow / degrage performance..

How to create secondary indexes in DB2e from MI

Hello,
we need to create secondary indexes in the DB2e SyncBO tables for a SynBO containing several thousands entries.
We create it manually and works fine, but we have to distribute
this to every user (about 300).
Is there a way to distribuite this index creation for an
application from a central location (WebConsole)?
Or,
is there any attribute in the SyncBO definitions for creating indexes on selected fields in teh database?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Angel

Hi,
I found the way to create the indexes. In the metadata
function of the SyncBO builder, you can mark any field
as index (either in the header or in the detail tables).
This creates a secondary index in the database per marked
field.

How to create Secondary Index?

Hello All
Can anyone let me know how to create secondary indexes?
I hope Primary Indexes are being created automatically?V can'nt able to create this.
regards
balji

Hi,
1) Go to Se11 select table /BI0/A<ODS>00 > Utilities> Data bse Object --> Check.
2) If you are using ODS Active table in any Start routine ,Make sure that the order of objects to be seleccted (select statement) should be in same order of index fields.
In Query, Use RSRT to know the SQL statement of the Query .and follow same logic explained above.
3) No need to create Secondary Index for Cube.
4) IT recreates the Index.

Is it possible to create sub-client with in SAP production (PRD) client

Hello Experts,
Is is possible to create sub client with in SAP production client?
The question came to mind is that if I am the father company of two child/sub companies and both these function under my company and the users of all the companies will have different SAP log in . But, I can I create a Main PRD client say 'PRD L1 and under this client I create PRD L2 and PRD L3.
Is that possible and seems logical?
Thanks & Regards
Saurabh

This is not a question for this forum, because you are trying to discuss security where you should be trying (or rather your FI/CO department should be) to discuss business scenarios.
I never dreamed (after 20 years doing SAP), that I'd quote the original SAP documentation on clients vs. company codes again, ever - but here it goes:
Company Code
Definition
Smallest organizational unit of external accounting for which a complete, self-contained set of accounts can be created. This includes the entry of all transactions that must be posted and the creation of all items for legal individual financial statements, such as the balance sheet and the profit and loss statement.
The definition of the company code organizational unit is obligatory .
Anything bigger goes to a different client.
Try to come up with a business architecture first and adapt security after, accordingly.

Is it possible to create an Index in Pages '08?

I've searched the docs and scanned the forum, but I can't find any details (or even a mention) of document index creation. I'm using Pages to create technical books (moving from Word/Quark).
Is it possible to generate an index in Pages?

Hello
With the "in-the-box" features, the response is no.
But I'm not aware of every piece of code offered by third-party developers.
Maybe some one built such a tool.
After all, it would not be a huge task as the application is AppleScritable.
No, I'm not in the starting blocks

Unable to Create the Secondary Index for ODS, Please..

Hi All,
The ODS 'A' has two Secondary Indexes ('010' & '020') and I want to create a third index with characteristics X & Y. X is there in both '010' & '020' Indexes.
RSA1 --> Info Provider --> Double click on ODS 'A' --> Right Click on last folder 'Indexes' --> Create --> '030' assigned by the system for the new Index.
I am having all the Characteristics in the left window after clicking the InfoObject Catalog and Characteristics
When I try to drag the 'X' from the left window to keep it under 'Indexes' folder or '030' Index, it gives 'NO'
symbol (a circle with cross line). I am not able to find the cause. I could drag it on to 'Key fields' of 'Data Fields' , but not 'Indexex' folder. Am I doing something wrong, please ?
Thanks,
Venkat.

This appeared in one of the earlier threads..
I think u need to go to se11..there enter the name of the active table of the ODS..name will be../BIC/A<ODS tech name>00'.
Once the table field appear after clicking display..
u will see button 'indexes' on right hand top..
click on that and then trying creating a new secondary index..
cheers,
Vishvesh

Possible to create partitioned index one partition at a time?

I have a really large partitioned table. Wanted to know if I can create the partitioned index, one partition at a time? Trying to limit the amount of resources required to throw at it. Note this is not a rebuild or reindex operation. This is a brand new index on a multi-terabyte table.
.. just throwing this out there...
Thanks for any insights..
Daryl.

You can create the index "unusable", then alter each partition in turn to make it usable.
The side effects on optimisation and DML may vary with version of Oracle and whether the index is unique or non-unique.

Three questions about the creation of secondary indexes in ODS design mode

1. When we right click the Indexes folder in ODS design to select Create to create the Index folder 010, a small window pops up with a check box called "Unique", do we have to check this checkbox to create folder 010?
2. If we would like to include 3 InfoObjects into the secondary indexes, then how many folders we need to create? Need to create 3 folders like 010, 020, and 030 and place the 3 InfoObj. into the 3 folder respectively or create only one folder 010 and place all the 3 InfoObj. into this one folder 010?
3. In SAP documentation titled "BW Performance Tuning" about the Indices, it says "If the (uncompressed) F fact table is small, it is usually faster to drop the secondary (bitmap) indices before the load and build them up after the load"
Someone here says secondary index is only for ODS other than for cubes, but from the above statement, F fact table is related to cubes, then how to explain it? Also the above statement is talking above the variant in process chain that when you bring in a variant to load data to cube, then the drop index and generate index variants will be automatically created, does it refer to this? And what's bitmap index?
Thanks in advance and we will continue to give you reward points!

Hi Kevin,
Cube has Secondary index's. The index's that we find in the Manage of the Cube are the Secondary Index's. Please check the following link for more information.

"The indexes displayed are the secondary indexes of the F and E fact tables for the InfoCube. The primary indexes and those defined by the user are not displayed. " (SAP help).
This should answer your questions.
