Keyfigures in cubes and ods

hi friends
can anyone let me how we can guide a layman ie user how we can do knowdledge transfer on key figures as keyfigures in the bw are very difficult to understand for user . so is there any easy way that user can check which key figure is related in whcih one in r/3 retail or any document whcih will help user to understand the key figures according to r/3 retail . if anybody carries any document can u please share with me . thankyou all .look forward to ur replies .

Monica,
The whole idea of having a data warehouse is that it speaks business terms. Key Figures shoul dhave the smae name in BW as hte business refers to them as.
That is the best way. In most cases, one key figure will have background processing like restrictions, etc. to get the value which would be a little difficult to explain for each one.
Other option is to attach metadata document to the query which the user cna then jump to and this document would have all definitions, etc. in it.
Cheers

Can we add new cubes and ODS after creating the multiprovider?

Hi all,
i created a multiprovider on a cube and ODS. Now i needed one more charactersitic from other cube.then i did change multiprovider and then add that new cube and did the identification, and adjusted the query, when i ran the query it is showing chracteristic as # and not assigned. I even tried bringing in 0infoprovider object to see whether data is coming from third infoprovider, it is not showing up any data from third one. i tried logging out of bex and logging back in.....but still no use..............i am wondering now, once a multiprovider is created can new infoprovider be added to it ?
i am even able to see the new key figures and chracteristic in my query.but data is not getting populated...i also checked and found that the data is available in the infoproviders....
plz help me out..
points will be assigned for inputs

Hi Bhanu,
nice to see your answer, I saw a lot of helpful posts on SDN by you.
I did the RSRT with debug multiprovider, it said,
0FISCPER: General restriction for InfoProvider ZSD_C12 not possible
Access to ZSD_C12 was excluded
now i corrected it, it is populating the key figure now but not the chracteristic still.....the chracteristic is still getting value only from one of the info providers
importantly, when i bring infoprovider above the keyfigures space on query, it still only shows two info providers for each key figure and not the third one ,the key figure coming the third one is only shown in overall result. how can i solve this?
i tried rsr_gen_direct_all_queries as told by krian, but still cant get the data in the report. i did list cube on mulitiprovider and i see the data for that chracteristic there....
are there any other options in RSRT to find possible setting faults....
thanks in advance

Can I use one infosource to update data to CUBE and ODS???

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if I can load data to OSD and Cube from one the same InfoSource? As I know, I have to have "0recordmode"(update mode) in communication structure for ODS not for Cube. So how can ODS and Cube use the same Infosucre to update data?
Thank you

John,
Depending on the volume of data and the type of infosource, sometime one update to ODS first and then subsequently update to the Cube or update both cube and ODS in parallel.
For example, if you use AR or AP line item datasources, since you are extracting from both open line and closed line items tables, there could be multiple records for the same thing coming through. First when it appears as an open line item, and when it is paid, it appears again as a paid line item so if you update directly to the cube, you can have multiples of the real value. Thus in this instance you update from infosource to ODS then subsequently use delta update from ODS to cube. CCA and C0-PA on delta mode are example where there are no overlapping, thus you can update both ODS and Cube at the same time.
Hope this helps,
Mary

Looking for a specific data in all the cubes and ods

Hi Gurus
"i am looking for all the cubes/ods that contain a specific Controlling area(lets say 0123) and a specific 0plant (lets say plant 4567), now i can go down to every cube and ods and search for it in its contents but i have like hundereds of cubes it will take days, is there a simple way to look for some particular data in all the cubes/ods, and it tells me which cube/ods contains these plants and controlling area."
now based on this above post i got a reply that abaping can help.
"you could write an ABAP where you call for every InfoProvider function RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC like
loop at <infoprov-table> assigning <wa>.
call function 'RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC'
exporting
i_infoprov = <wa>
tables
i_t_sfc = i_t_rsdri_t_sfc
i_t_range = l_t_rsdri_t_range
e_t_rfcdata = l_t_rsdri_t_rfcdata
exceptions
illegal_input = 1
illegal_input_sfc = 2
illegal_input_sfk = 3
illegal_input_range = 4
illegal_input_tablesel = 5
no_authorization = 6
generation_error = 7
illegal_download = 8
illegal_tablename = 9
illegal_resulttype = 10
x_message = 11
data_overflow = 12
others = 13.
endloop.
i_t_sfc should contain 0PLANT and i_t_range the restriction on you plant value.
with a describe table statement on l_t_rsdri_t_rfcdata you can get the hits.
check test program RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_DEMO for details
best regards clemens "
now my question is how do i use this code to check each and every cube in bw, it seems like it is meant to be for only one cube at a time. and what does he mean by "for every infoprovider function"
thanks

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.

Re:cube and ods enhancement

1.i'm trying to add a new field to my old cube ...plz guide me the steps
i got a small doubt here ,i know we have to delete the data in the cube but i'm curious why we delete data and than enhance
2.i want to add a filed to my exsisting ods..plz guide me the steps
i'm confused with ods..whether to delete to data or not,plz tell me the reasons for deleting and for not deleting...

Hi,
NO need to delete the data in ODS as well as in Cube. In Development box, add new feilds to Cube and ODS and then map in Update rules and send it to Qty and Prod servers. If you are filling data for new feilds from existing Transfer structure it is Ok, but if you want to add any other objescts in Transfer rules, you need to activate the trasnfer rules also. I jsut added new feilds to my existing cube, it is having 1 year data, it was not effected, it is working fine.
Thanks

Selective Deletion From Cube and ODS using Process chain

Hi all,
is there any way that i can include selective deletion in a process chain, there is no stand process types for selective deletion, I need to delete the closed items from cube and ods and i need to schedule this??? any ideas?
Thanks,
Shetty.

Shetty,
You can delete Data from this using One custom Program. You need to use either RSDRD_SEL_DELETION(function module ) or RSDRD_BUILD_REPORT_FOR_BATCH(Function Module). there is a parameter in above functioen modules I_THX_SEL which needs to be populated using selections.
or
You need to schedule the Background job from Manage screen on Monthly Basis(Provided that selection should be fixed in every month).
I will update the thread with psudo code.
all the best.

Creating Queries from Cubes and ODS

Dear Gurus:
I'd like to learn how to make queries from ODS and CUBES. can any Guru out there prescribe a particular infocube / ods project for me to make report on in both 3.5 and BI 7? I can send daily reports on my progress. I think this is the only way I will learn.. I may even have to seek help to create a simple architecture from Source DataSourc to Target Data Source to transfer Rules to InforSource to ODS to Cube and then fuill it with practice data just so that I can design a query / queries... Can any kind BW Guru offer me his/her assistance please... I may run out of a job if I dont learn soon...
By the way... I would like to make it known that I am starting out totally from scratch.... As in ZERO BW 3.5 and/or BI 7.0 experience nor application background in either. Hence the why I seek expert advice.Your kind support, understanding and advice will be greatly appreciated to no end!

The best way to start off is by reading the material on BW. The link below will give all the materials.

Cube and ODS update types

Hi all. Please tell me in brief about update types for ODS and InfoCube. I know there is something Addition,No update,overwrite. But I do not know how they work.
regards
rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
No Update means - no data is updated into the target (Cube or ODS).
Overwite - Only for ODS, not possible for Cube. this iwll overwrite the exisiting enrty in the ODS with the new values.
Aditive - The records would be summed up ... Cube can only work either in Additive or No Update mode.
Hope this helps.
best regards,
Kazmi

Doubt in CRM sales order Cube and ODS

Hell Friends,
We have a standard cube '0CSAL_C03' and ODS '0CRM_SALO' for CRM sales order.
ODS is attached with infosurce(datasource) -0CRM_SALES_ORDER_I and 80CRM_SAL2(this is update rules-another sales order items(lean extraction) ODS - 0CRM_SAL2).
we have another ods(lean extraction)- 0CRM_SAL2 and again it is attached with 0CRM_SALES_ORDER_I.
Could anybody explain me why two ods ar coming for sales order- crm.
Can we use two ods or only one ods-0CRM_SALO?
Could you pls. check it the system under- crm application component and let me know what is the best way for going impls.
Thanks,
Mahantesh

Hi!
actually they definatly use Bdocs because messages bdocs are the main communication elements in CRM. you will definatly find them in SBDM. Bdoc are simmilar idoc's they used to send information between CRM transactions and ERP systems, mobile clients or to BW. there are 2 types of Bdocs message bdocs(M Bdocs) and synchronization Bdocs (S Bdocs). Sbdocs are used for sycronizing between moblie clients and CRM online. M bdocs are used for communication within CRM and also for exachange information between R/3 and CRM as well.
So for sales we normally configure our standard Bdocs or we can modell our own bdocs. lean Bdocs are message bdocs but have only subset of all the fields in a transaction and used for updating only those fields. usage of them can be verified only CRM specialists. it depends on how your organizational sales process is configured in CRM.
in SALES we normally use bdoc BUS_TRANSACTION_MESSAGE this is used for most of the transactions in CRM. so you got to confirm from your team if they are using any other bdocs for slaes additional to the above mentioned.
with regards
ashwin

A plan to remove Cubes and ODS

Hi guys,
I'd like to get rid of Infocubes and ODS which are not use anymore. After to have identified the elements (queries, Process Chain, Specific Object, ruels,etc.) to remove, i'm thinking about a plan. What do you think about the following removal sequence :
1.remove queries
2.remove or change Process Chains
3.delete data contained inside InfoCube and ODS
4.remove update rules and transfer rules
5.remove InfoCube and ODS following the oposite way of loading process
6.remove InfoSource and DataSource
7.delete data contained inside Specific InfoObject
8.delete Specific InfoObject
Thanks a lot for your feedback

This is what i done
Thanks guys for your advices. Regarding transport requests, how to proceed ?
Please take a look on the follow list :
TR_1     Queries
TR_2     Process Chains
TR_3     InfoCubes & ODS
TR_4     InfoSources&Rules
TR_5     DataSources&InfoPackages
TR_6     Specific InfoObjects
Perhaps i should transport rules and InProviders together ..

For reporting what is flow of MD and TD from CUBE and ODS

Hi Experts,
Please clarify
For reporting MD & TD data comes from cube since there is connection between these two having SID's and DIMid's.
For DSO how transaction data(TD) connects with master data(MD).
Regards,
Surya.

Good Question buddy.
When you go for ODS , there is an option in ODS settings with check box 'Bex reporting available' which creates the SIDs for Master data Objects to get them into reporting. In 2004s, with out even checking the option 'Bex reporting' we can use DSO ( which is ODS in 3.5 ) for reporting. But it involves performance risk since, it will create SIDs on the fly for master data which is time consuming.

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

Delta between cube and ods

I have existing deltas between ods into cube.
Now, new deltas into cube are failing for lack of init!
A new init is not possible from ods to cube, because there is already one in infopak.
Problem is "The data mart status on the ods is empty."
I need help in setting this datamart status to being init done, is there an table fix?
What tables are involved in this ?
Thanks
Gopi

RSDMDELTA table stores the datamart status of requests.
