Knowing DataSource, Cube, Query, how to identify Master Data datasource?

Hi,
based on a research on FI-FM at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/71/d3143cb1b8be00e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
I saw the flow as: first Query(based on cube 0FIFM_C01), the cube which gets data from 2 datasources (0FI_FM_1 & FI_FM_2) through 2 infosources: 0FI_FM_1 and FI_FM_2.
1. What do I need to install on BI to get this going and in which order?
2. In particular, knowing DataSource, Cube, Query do I figure out the Master Data data I need to get this query functional?
Once you know of the specific master data datasources what do I need to do to get this query functional?
Thanks

Dear Amanda,
Let's clarify your questions.
1.Install the cube and related stuff.
RSA1 -> Business content -> Choose " in data flow before" -> install the Cube
2. For the master data and related hierarchy.
RSA1 -> Find the InfoCube -> Right click, find a option such as "display data model". I am not sure about the exactly description because i am not in front of the SAP system.
you can find all the related InfoObject in the right panel.
It is good if you check all of those master data and load them daily. But it is a big job and sometimes it is not necessary. You can:
1) Clarify the business need. to konw which kinds of fields are "Must" for the end user anlaysis and make a list of that.
2) check the list and most of the master data will load by other moduels. for example, cost center, material, customer ... they are too common that you can expect they are in some process chain and loaded daily basis already.
3) load the master data in your list and no one load it before, or discuss with the ownder of process chain, if you need change the load frequency such as from weekly to daily.

How to identify Master data chars in a cube?

How to identify Master data chars in a cube? Is there any function module with teh help of which we can identify the master data objects in a cube. (I need to avoid manual checking as the no. of objects is more).
Regards,
R.Ravi

right click on cube..click on 'display data model'..
there expand the tree for each dimension..
under it..u will see list of char in that dimension..
for some characteristics u will see an arrow beside it..expand it..u will see further list of char..(with yellow icons)..
these are the list of attributes for that particular characteristic..
for char that have no attr..there will be no arrow beside it..
by this..u can know which char in ur cube hold master data..

Identifying master data datasource for standerd DSO

Hello Experts,
I am in a process to upload a transaction data into a standerd DSO named "Shopping Cart" from SRM source system.Please let me know how I can identify what is the master data required to be uploaded before uploading transaction data.
Also let me know general process for identifying master data for any standerd infoprovider.
Regards,
Mandar.

Hi,
You might need some of these listed below. I have worked with Bidding Engine part and we needed the Purch org, Purch group, Status texts MD datasources. Check in the Shopping cart flow (rules) if there are any lookups on MD objects. In such case you would need to maintain MD for those.

How to get master data records that do not have transaction data in a query

Hi,
How to get master data records that do not have transaction data in a query output. Can we create a query or any other way to get the master data records that do not have transaction data?

Hi,
Create a multiprovider which includes transactional data target and master data info object. Make sure that identification for this master data info object is ticked on both the provider.
Create report on this multiprovider , keep the master data info object in rows , and now you should able to see all the values which are there in master data info object irrespective of transaction happened or not .
Next you may create condition showing only zero keyfigure values , ie. master data without any transaction.
Hope that helps.

How to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details

how to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details screenshots

Hi
Go through the below process to extract Master Data Attribute from R/3
Hi,
Maintaining Generic DataSources
Use
Regardless of the application, you can create and maintain generic DataSources for transaction data, master data attributes or texts from any transparent table, database view or SAP Query InfoSet, or using a function module. This allows you to extract data generically.
Procedure
Creating Generic DataSources
1. Select the DataSource type and specify a technical name.
2. Choose Create.
The screen for creating a generic DataSource appears.
3. Choose the application component to which you want to assign the DataSource.
4. Enter the descriptive texts. You can choose any text.
5. Select the datasets from which you want to fill the generic DataSource.
a. Choose Extraction from View if you want to extract data from a transparent table or a database view. Enter the name of the table or the database view.
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the database view or transparent table.
For more information about creating and maintaining database views and tables, see the ABAP Dictionary Documentation.
b. Choose Extraction from Query if you want to use a SAP Query InfoSet as the data source. Select the required InfoSet from the InfoSet catalog.
Notes on Extraction Using SAP Query
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the InfoSet.
For more information about maintaining the InfoSet, see the System Administration documentation.
c. Choose Extraction Using FM if you want to extract data using a function module. Enter the function module and extraction structure.
The data must be transferred by the function module in an interface table E_T_DATA.
Interface Description and Extraction Process
For information about the function library, see the ABAP Workbench: Tools documentation.
d. With texts you also have the option of extracting from fixed values for domains.
6. Maintain the settings for delta transfer, as required.
7. Choose Save.
When performing extraction, note SAP Query: Assigning to a User Group.
Note when extracting from a transparent table or view:
If the extraction structure contains a key figure field that references a unit of measure or a currency unit field, this unit field has to be included in the same extraction structure as the key figure field.
A screen appears on which you can edit the fields of the extraction structure.
8. Edit the DataSource:
○ Selection
When you schedule a data request in the BI scheduler, you can enter the selection criteria for the data transfer. For example, you can determine that data requests are only to apply to data from the previous month.
If you set the Selection indicator for a field within the extraction structure, the data for this field is transferred in correspondence with the selection criteria in the scheduler.
○ Hide field
You set this indicator to exclude an extraction structure field from the data transfer. The field is no longer available in BI when you set the transfer rules or generate the transfer structure.
○ Inversion
Reverse postings are possible for customer-defined key figures. Therefore inversion is only active for certain transaction data DataSources. These include DataSources that have a field that is marked as an inversion field, for example, the update mode field in DataSource 0FI_AP_3. If this field has a value, the data records are interpreted as reverse records in BI.
If you want to carry out a reverse posting for a customer-defined field (key figure), set the Inversion indicator. The value of the key figure is transferred to BI in inverted form (multiplied by 1).
○ Field only known in exit
You can enhance data by extending the extraction structure for a DataSource by adding fields in append structures.
The Field Only Known in Exit indicator is set for the fields of an append structure; by default these fields are not passed to the extractor from the field list and selection table.
Deselect the Field Only Known in Exit indicator to enable the Service API to pass on the append structure field to the extractor together with the fields of the delivered extract structures in the field list and in the selection table.
9. Choose DataSource ® Generate.
The DataSource is saved in the source system.
Maintaining Generic DataSources
● Change DataSource
To change a generic DataSource, in the initial screen of DataSource maintenance, enter the name of the DataSource and choose Change.
You can change the assignment of a DataSource to an application component or change the texts of a DataSource. Double-click on the name of the table, view, InfoSet or extraction structure to get to the appropriate maintenance screen. Here you make the changes to add new fields. You can also completely swap transparent tables and database views, though this is not possible with InfoSets. Return to DataSource maintenance and choose Create. The screen for editing a DataSource appears. To save the DataSource in the SAP source system, choose DataSource ® Generate.
If you want to test extraction in the source system independently of a BI system, choose DataSource ® Test Extraction.
● Delta DataSource
On the Change Generic DataSource screen, you can delete any DataSources that are no longer relevant. If you are extracting data from an InfoSet, delete the corresponding query. If you want to delete a DataSource, make sure it is not connected to a BI system.

How to design Master datas?? Whats is Time Scenarios???Explain..

How to design Master datas?? Whats is Time Scenarios???
Can anybody explain about Time Scenarios???

Hi..
to tell it is huge ..
but a slice of it
Design           Create design documents
Prod.           Make the product
Quality           Confirm quality of product
Sales          - Market the product
Purchase                    Procure the items
Accounts                       To control the cost of Mfg
These steps should be understood as a general approach. To what extent they must be carried out depends
on the actual situation and the experience of the project members involved.
After deciding on the business process being dealt with, the basic steps to implementing a BI based solution
are:
1. Focus on the structure of information
Develop a complete understanding of the underlying business processes. Create an Entity Relationship
Model (ERM) of the business process
The ERM as a function of the information
2. Focus on analytical needs - Overcome model complexity
Create a valid data model. Translate the ERM to the Multi-Dimensional Model (MDM) / Star schema
The MDM as a function of the analytical processing
3. Build the solution as a part of an integrated data warehouse
The Star schema on the BI stage are the InfoCubes. Translate the MDM / Star schema to one or more
InfoCube.
coming to time ..
How real-world changes are dealt with, i.e. how the different time aspects are handled is the most
important topic with data warehouses.
The attributes of a characteristic that will reside in its master data table are determined in the modeling
phase. Each attribute can be defined individually as being time dependent:
There is one time dependent check box for each attribute in the attribute tab page section.
Time dependency of an attribute allows you to keep track on the changes over time of the relation of the
characteristic and the time dependent attribute values.
In terms of technical implementation, two master data tables exist if we have both non-time dependent
and time dependent attributes.
One master data table stores all relations to non-time dependent attributes (name of the table:
/BIC/P<InfoObject name>) and
One table stores relations to time dependent attributes (name of the table: /BIC/Q<InfoObject
name>).
The time dependent attributes master data table has additional DATETO and DATEFROM system
attributes. In queries the different constellations are addressed using the key date ( Query properties).
The validity attributes are not available for navigation.
The text table, or better the description attributes, may be defined as time dependent.
SID tables with respect to master data:
The SID table is always generated if an InfoObject is not defined as attribute only (tab page general).
This table is used if the access to an Infocube or DataStore Object uses a navigational attribute or if the
access is via a characteristic without attributes. Name of the table: /BIC/S<InfoObject name>
The non-time dependent attribute SID table of a characteristic for access via non-time dependent
attributes. Name of the table: /BIC/X<InfoObject name>
The time dependent attribute SID table of a characteristic for access via time dependent attributes.
Name of the table: /BIC/Y<InfoObject name>

How to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems

HI all,
how to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems.
Please explain the steps.
Thanks,
cheta.

HI,
Its normally done following: Transferring the master datasources in RSA5 to RSA6 and then replicating the DS into BW and assignment of DS to Infosource and cretaion of Infopackage and load it into the master tables.
Generally, the control parameters for data transfer from a source system are maintained in extractor
customizing. In extractor customizing, you can access the corresponding source system in the source
system tree of the SAP BW Administrator Workbench by using the context menu.
To display or change the settings for data transfer at source system level, choose Business
Information Warehouse → General Settings → Maintaining Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
Note: The values for the data transfer are not hard limitations. It depends on the DataSource if these
limits can be followed.
In the SAP BW Scheduler, you can determine the control parameters for data transfer for individual
DataSources. You can determine the size of the data packet, the number of parallel processes for
data transfer and the frequency with which the status IDocs are sent, for every possible update
method for a DataSource.
To do so, choose Scheduler → DataSource → Default Settings for Data transfer.
In this way you can, for example, update transaction data in larger data packets in the PSA. If you
want to update master data in dialog mode, smaller packets ensure faster processing.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks,Ramoji.

How to create master data/text for an info object

Hi All,
I am working on a report and having a problem with an info object since it has no master data. This characteristic is supposed to be in the selection parameters and also should contain key and text in it. Since there is no master data for this info object there is no text and keys don't come up. Does any one knows how to add master data to this info object without reloading the ODS?
Thanks

Mike,
You shold load the master data into BW first,
othere wise you can do one thing
goto infopackage and schedule where in the update tab select the radio button
Always update the data,even if no masterdata is exist for that.

How to delete master data of materials from sap tables

how to delete master data of materials from sap tables...its needed now.
i know its not recommended but still we need to do this. give me the best possible approach.
regards,
suneetha

Hi,
I would suggest you not to write your own code to delete the entries.
BAPI_MATERIAL_DELETE, this would mark all materials selected for deletion. But still the material would exist in SAP.
Another solution: Delete a material manually and in another session execute the transaction SM04. This would display the tables which get locked when you do the operation, Then you can write your own code to delete the material numbers from all the related tables.
