Key Figure data type/length differs in BI and source system

Hi all.
It is a strange question, but we need an explanation to our "strange" client. Why many fields which are DEC 13 in source system became CURR 09 in BI? DEC->CURR type switch seems reasonable, but not the length. I guess the shorter numeric field is the less precise it can keep...
Does SAP give any explanation for that?

Hi,
     If you are expecting the data to be aggregated in the cube and if the data is loaded by different requests, then in that case the data wouldnot be aggregated.
EX: CHAR1   CHAR2    CHAR3   CHAR4     CHAR5    CHAR6    CHAR7    KF1   KF2   KF3
         A               B              C            D        E              F             G          10     20    30
          A               B              C            D        E              F             G          10     20    30
sUPPOSE IF THE ABOVE 2 ROWS OF DATA ARE GETTING LOADED IN THE SAME REQUEST, then you can expect the data to be aggregated and the o/p of the KFs will be 20, 40 and 60 respectively.
In case the loading is done with separate requests, then your data will not be aggregated.
This is becuse in the cube, Request ID (under the Data Package Dimension)    is one of the dimension and this differs when the requests are different.

Copy Key figure data between two planning area with different storage bucket profile

Hi,
I have a DP planning area ' PA1' with monthly storage bucket profile data view 'PA1M' ( monthly TBF) and I want to copy the data to another planning area 'PA2' whose storage bucket is weekly. This would need me to write a custom program which will split monthly to weekly and then populate 'PA2'.
However, In 'PA2', I created two data views 'PA2W' (with weekly time bucket profile) and 'PA2M' (with Monthly Time bucket profile). If I am able to copy the data from PA1 (PA1M) to PA2(PA2M), it will automatically splits monthly to weekly in PA2W.
So my question is if there exists a way I can copy key figure data from PA1M to PA2M? Any BAPI?

Hi Rakesh,
You can use COPY/Version Management Function to do this.
Path: Demand Planning > Environment >Copy/ Version Management
The system takes into account only those periodicities that are common to both planning areas.
For example, if the data is saved in months in the source planning area (PA1) but in months and weeks in the target planning area (PA2)
the system copies to months in the target planning area and then Disaggregates the data to the storage buckets in accordance with the Time-based Disaggregation.
hope this wil help to understand the basic concept.

Key figure data in BEx report

Hi,
We are viewing some of the Key figure data of a particular report as ".", "$21.99MIN" etc, where $21.99 is the original value. When we click on the excel sheet cell and view in the formula bar, data is showing $21.99 correctly. But it is appearing as "$21.99MIN". In some places just"." is appearing where data can be seen in the formula bar.
Tried, converting to Formula option, with which we can see the numbers but as usual it is behaving as a normal excel sheet after applying the function.
Please suggest how to view the correct data for the report.
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
It is a direct key figure. Two key figures in the query are displayed like this, while other KFs are displating the values as it is. Also i checked the data in Multi provider, BEx definition of the info object etc, there is no problem.

TIPS(63) : LONG DATA TYPE의 LENGTH 구하기

제품 : PL/SQL

TIPS(63) : LONG DATA TYPE의 LENGTH 구하기
=========================================
PURPOSE
다음은 function 을 적용할 수 없는 long data type 의 length 를
구하는 방법을 소개한다.
Explanation
Long DataType 에 대해 Length 를 구하려 하는 경우 다음과 같은 Error 가 발생한다.
SQL> create table TOY
2 (Toy_ID NUMBER, Description LONG);
Table created.
SQL> select LENGTH(Description) from TOY;
select LENGTH(Description) from TOY
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
"Inconsistent DataTypes" Error 는 LONG DataType 으로 정의된 Column 에
Function 을 적용하였기 때문에 발생한다.
VARCHAR2 Type 을 사용하면 정상 처리할 수 있으나, Oracle7 에서는 VARCHAR2 는
2,000 Characters 만 저장할 수 있으며, Oracle8 에서는 4,000 Characters 이다.
Oracle8 에서는 Long Data 를 저장하기 위해 LOB DataType 을 사용할 수 있으며,
LONG Data Type 은 Oracle7/Oracle8 모두 Support 되므로 LONG Type 에 대해
Length 를 확인하는 방법을 알아본다.
Example
다음은 anonymous PL/SQL Block 을 통해 TOY Table 에서 LONG Column 의
Length 를 구하는 Script 이다.
1. Single Record 에 대한 예
$ vi len_long.sql
declare
length_var NUMBER;
cursor TOY_CURSOR is
select * from TO;
toy_val TOY_CURSOR%ROWTYPE;
begin
open TOY_CURSOR;
fetch TOY_CURSOR into toy_val;
length_var := LENGTH(toy_val.Description);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Length of Description: '||length_var);
close TOY_CURSOR;
end;
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> @len_long
Length of description : 21
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
2. Multiple Record 에 대해서는 cursor FOR Loop 를 사용한다.
$ vi len_long.sql
declare
length_var NUMBER;
cursor TOY_CURSOR is
select * from TOY;
toy_val TOY_CURSOR%ROWTYPE;
begin
for toy_val in TOY_CURSOR loop
length_var := LENGTH(toy_val.Description);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ID: '||toy_val.Toy_ID);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Length of Description: '||length_var);
end loop;
end;

Hi Frank,
I have the exact same scenario where I have huge data coming from DB and its a must that I provide pagination.
I tried implementing as per the document but the pagination is not working for me too.
Details of the scenario:
1. I have a session facade method which takes a searchCriteria (custom criteria) as the input parameter and returns a list of entities.
a)This is the first method that I call as a default method activity in my taskflow.
b)The result of this method is dragged and dropped as table in the jsff. (*which created a methodIterator in pageDef unlike the documentation which has accessorIterator*).
2. I declared 2 class level variables
a) List<Entity> result: which is set once the method in the (1) above is executed.
b) long size: which is also set from the method (1) above.
3. I defined getEntityAll(int index,int range) method which returns List<Entity> as per the index and range using the result (class level variable populated by method in 1)
4. I defined getEntityAllSize() method which returns the size (class level variable populated by method in 1).
5. I created the datacontrol on top of the session facade bean.
6. I made sure to change the DataControlHandler = "oracle.adf.model.adapter.bean.DataFilterHandler"
7. I've set the rangeSize = 25 in my pagedef.
Now when I run my page, my default method activity calls the method in (1) above and populates the table, with a scroll bar.
Once I start scrolling, it calls my method in (1) but it does not call either of the methods (getEntityAll(int index,int range) & getEntityAllSize()) which adds the pagination behavior.
After this, my table has just 25 rows and further scrolling does not invoke any of the methods from the session bean.
I'm using jdev : JDEVADF_11.1.1.4.0_GENERIC_101227.1736.5923 (11.1.1.4.0).
Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Thanks in advance!

BW Architecture - SURVEY - key figures data model vs account data model

Hi SAP Gurus,
Between the keys figures data model, and the account data model which one do you implement/prefer and for which reason ?
Thanks,
Greg
Edited by: Greg C. on Jun 4, 2009 5:56 PM

I once found the note 407563 on this subject. It gives the advantages and disadvantages from the point of view of data modelling and from the technical point of view.
It's a BPS note, but manly valid in a BW context.

Change characterestic data type Length

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me, how i can change the caracterestic data type length. My characterestic got saved and activated. i can delete and recreate, but i would like to check whether there is any other way.
Regards,
Suresh Patipati.

Hi,
Unfortunately, a characteristic can be created with a maximum length of 18 characters. The only workaround would be to create an user-defined characteristic of length CHAR18, and then fill it with the first 18 positions of the source field by derivation.

Waman

Data type could be same base on source table for blank column

We have an employee table as mentioned structure.
EMPNO NUMBER(4),
ENAME VARCHAR2(10),
JOB VARCHAR2(9),
MGR NUMBER(4),
HIREDATE DATE,
SAL NUMBER(7,2),
COMM NUMBER(7,2),
DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
I want to create a view base on the same/exact structure data type-length. So is there any way we can define Data type while creating view.
Actually, I need to create a view base on above structure but only want to get deptno and sum of salary column from emp table and rest of column will remain blank.
Thanks

Something like this???
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_tmp AS
     SELECT NULL empno,
            NULL ename,
            NULL job,
            NULL mgr,
            NULL hiredate,
            sal sal,
            dept_no
       FROM employees
   GROUP BY dept_no;

Manik.

Data type conversion issues between Oracle and SQL Server

Hi there, I am using Heterogeneous Services to insert into a SQL Server database. I am running into an issue between data types regarding Oracle's VARCHAR2 and trying to insert that into a SQL Server MONEY data type. I tried using the TO_NUMBER() function to convert my VARCHAR2 to a number, but that didn't seem to help.
Does anyone have any advice on how to work around this??
Thanks for any help,

Object type RSDS not supported in BAPI source system

Hi
We have a problem when trying to create Data Source in NW2004s with 3rd party tool 'Ascential Datastage' as source system.The error message is "DataSource XXX (DS-DEV): Object type RSDS not supported in BAPI source system".
Is there any note or patch avaialable to be implemented to resolve this problem.Our support package is 07.
Regards
D.Ellora
Message was edited by:
Ellora Dobbala

Hi Ellora,
The latest BI release in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) includes a new type of DataSource for which staging BAPI has not yet been aligned.
Third party ETL tool vendors can therefore only implement their load processes using the original type of DataSource from BW 3.x. This DataSource is still provided in the new release without any changes. Upgrading to NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI (BI 7.0) does not therefore endanger existing implementations based on BW 3.x and NetWeaver 2004 (BW 3.5).
It is also possible to migrate third party ETL implementations based on BW 3.x into the new data-flow concept of a NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI environment using new DataSources, transformations (also new), and data transfer processes (DTP) (also new). This is possible because the system provides an emulated view for BW 3.x DataSources, which makes it possible to combine them with NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) transformations and DTPs for regular batch load processing (this does not include direct access and real-time data acquisition (RDA)).
This allows the benefits of the new data loading concept to be made available in such third party ETL-based loading scenarios.

Anil

Data load problem - BW and Source System on the same AS

Hi experts,
Im starting with BW (7.0) in a sandbox environment where BW and the source system are installed on the same server (same AS). The source system is the SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) 5.0.
BW is working on client 001 while SRM is on client 100 and I want to load data from the SRM into BW.
Ive configured the RFC connections and the BWREMOTE users with their corresponding profiles in both clients, added a SAP source system (named SRMCLNT100), installed SRM Business Content, replicated the data sources from this source system and everything worked fine.
Now I want to load data from SRM (client 100) into BW (client 001) using standard data sources and extractors. To do this, Ive created an InfoPackage in one standard metadata data source (with data, checked through RSA3 on client 100 source system). Ive started the data load process, but the monitor says that no Idocs arrived from the source system and keeps the status yellow forever.
Additional information:
BW Monitor Status:

I didn't see any reason why it's not bringing. Are you doing full extraction or Delta. If delta extraction please check the extractor is delta enabled or not. Some times this may cause problems.
Also check this weblog on data Load errors basic checks. it may help

Cloning use the different gcc version between source system and target sys

Hi All,
Our system is: Application tier and Database tier is split to two servers.
We should run a cloning, but I found the different gcc version on application tier on source system and target system.
The source application tier server is RedHat Linux ES3, gcc version is 3.2.3
The target application tier server is RedHat Linux ES3, gcc version is 2.9.6
There is the same gcc version on database tier on source system and target system, they are gcc 2.9.6.
My question: Can I use the different gcc version between source system and target system when I run an erp cloning?
Thanks & Regards
Owen

Not necessarily, you might get some errors if the version is higher and it is not supported by the OS. An example is Note: 392311.1 - usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.5/libgcc_s.so: undefined reference to 'dl_iterate_phdr@GLIBC_2.2.4'
To be on the safe side, make sure you have the same version (unless you want to give it a try).

Key figure Date in Decimal format

Hi all,
   I have a key figure 0CPR_ACFR_K (Date) which is in Decimal format.
   Data in PSA for the particular field was like this '07102008'
   but after that it is changing to 7327.98 that is in decimal format.
   But i dont want this to happen ie. it should not get converted to Decimal or
   i want to convert the decimal value again to the equivalent date.
   pls help in this.

Hi jean liker,
It will get converted due to its properties. If you want to use this particular object as keyfigure, you can create a variable with processing type replacement path and use. Its better to maintain as char.
[Replacement Path: Replacement with a Characteristic Value|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/03/6ba03cc24efd1de10000000a114084/frameset.htm]

Upload Flat file to Infocube with key figures of type FLOAT

Dear Experts,
I need your help in the following issue : I want to upload a flat file(csv) to an infocube. Two of the key figures are of type FLOAT. In the flat file the amount are in the format number with 4 decimals. eg 0.0445. When I upload the data, although I have NO errors, the key figures show value 0. (BW system is 3.5).
How should I declare these numbers in the excel file?
Thanks in advance for your help

Problem solved. I just uploaded the file first to a ODS and then to the infocube and everything worked ok.

Key Figure - Data in InfoObject (MasterData) as attribute - how to....

Hello,
I have following scenario: I have a key figure which is filled with priorities (1-5). Now I have as a requirenemt - in order that the user can report on the priority - to fill a new InfoObject with the same content (priority). The new InfoObject is an attribute on an already existing InfoObject.
It should be a one-time action for data for the past.
Any (creative) idea?

You can add a CHAR Infoobject Priority in same Infoprovider and map it to Key figure priority. Then you can use the new Char Priority to report.
