Large volume tables in SAP

Hello All,
Does any1 have the list of all large volume tables(Tables which might create a problem in select queries) present in SAP ?

Hi Nirav,
There is no as such specific list. But irrespective of the data in the table if you are providing all the primary key in the select query there will be no issue with SELECT.
Still if you want the highest size table check transaction DB02.

How to recover from Large Volume Table Insert

We are inserting 1 Million rows into table using ODI IKM Append. If half the way thru the job fails because of tablespace or other issue, how to recover? Does 50% rows are commited to db? What is the best way to handle this type of situation?

You can have different options for this.. You can commit them in every 1000 rows in the KM.You can also set the dml operation into one transaction and commit the same at the end of step.
Try to follow load plan for better restart options. If you cann't provide more undo table space then try loading less amount of records lets say 1 to 100,000 and then 100,001 to 200,000 like this which is little bit complex but you have to sacrifice something to overcome the issue.
I believe you must have data in C$ and I$ step. Hence you process these data instead of loading again from original source. So it depends on you, how you are going to design the total process. You can better judge it. Talk with your dba about this issues as well.

Create a GPT partition table and format with a large volume (solved)

Hello,
I'm having trouble creating a GPT partition table for a large volume (~6T). It is a RAID 5 (hardware) with 3 hard disk drives having a size of 3T each (thus the resulting 6T volume).
I tried creating a GPT partition table with gdisk but it just fails at creating it, stopping here (I've let it run for like 3 hours...):
Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/md126.
I also tried with parted but I get the same result. Out of luck, I created a GPT partition table from Windows 7 and 2 NTFS partitions (15G and the rest of space for the other) and it worked just fine. I then tried to format the 15G partition as ext4 but, as for gdisk, mkfs.ext4 will just never stop.

To make things clear: sda is an SSD on which Archlinux has been freshly installed (sda1 for root, sda2 for home, sda3 for swap), sde is a hard disk drive having Windows 7 installed on it. My goal with the 15G partition is to format it so I can mount /var on the HDD rather than on the SSD. The large volume will be for storage.
So if anyone has any suggestion that would help me out with this, I'd be glad to read.
Cheers

Well, I finally decided to use a software RAID as I will not share this partition with Windows anyway and it seems a better choice than the fake RAID.
Therefore, I used the mdadm utility to create my RAID 5:
# mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
# mkfs.ext4 -v -m .1 -b 4096 -E stride=32,stripe-width=64 /dev/md0
It works like a charm.

Initializing large volume 0FI_GL_4

Just looking for some confirmation of the procedure for initialization of the 0FI_GL_4 extractor when dealing with very large volume.
In the past, attempts at wide open initialization loads for 0FI_GL_4 have failed at my client.
I was thinking of running an initialization with data for each fiscal period. Then for the last init containing the current month I would make the initialization selections like this:
07/2007 - 12/9999
Then since the initializations cover all of the previous periods and the future periods, would the delta loads function correctly? Can anyone confirm this method or give some more guidance on how you have initialized GL?
Thanks!
Justin

Hi,
I think you would be fine - but as such I hve never done init for GL....
for FI you should go with ODS as 1st layer..

Processing large volumes of data in PL/SQL

I'm working on a project which requires us to process large volumes of data on a weekly/monthly/quarterly basis, and I'm not sure we are doing it right, so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Requirement
Source data is in a flat file in "short-fat" format i.e. each data record (a "case") has a key and up to 2000 variable values.
A typical weekly file would have maybe 10,000 such cases i.e. around 20 million variable values.
But we don't know which variables are used each week until we get the file, or where they are in the file records (this is determined via a set of meta-data definitions that the user selects at runtime). This makes identifying and validating each variable value a little more interesting.
Target is a "long-thin" table i.e. one record for each variable value (with numeric IDs as FKs to identify the parent variable and case.
We only want to load variable values for cases which are entirely valid. This may be a merge i.e. variable values may already exist in the target table.
There are various rules for validating the data against pre-existing data etc. These rules are specific to each variable, and have to be applied before we put the data in the target table. The users want to see the validation results - and may choose to bail out - before the data is written to the target table.
Restrictions
We have very limited permission to perform DDL e.g. to create new tables/indexes etc.
We have no permission to use e.g. Oracle external tables, Oracle directories etc.
We are working with standard Oracle tools i.e. PL/SQL and no DWH tools.
DBAs are extremely resistant to giving us more disk space.
We are on Oracle 9iR2, with no immediate prospect of moving to 10g.
Current approach
Source data is uploaded via SQL*Loader into static "short fat" tables.
Some initial key validation is performed on these records.
Dynamic SQL (plus BULK COLLECT etc) is used to pivot the short-fat data into an intermediate long-thin table, performing the validation on the fly via a combination of including reference values in the dynamic SQL and calling PL/SQL functions inside the dynamic SQL. This means we can pivot+validate the data in one step, and don't have to update the data with its validation status after we've pivoted it.
This upload+pivot+validate step takes about 1 hour 15 minutes for around 15 million variable values.
The subsequent "load to target table" step also has to apply substitution rules for certain "special values" or NULLs.
We do this by BULK collecting the variable values from the intermediate long-thin table, for each valid case in turn, applying the substitution rules within the SQL, and inserting into/updating the target table as appropriate.
Initially we did this via a SQL MERGE, but this was actually slower than doing an explicit check for existence and switching between INSERT and UPDATE accordingly (yes, that sounds fishy to me too).
This "load" process takes around 90 minutes for the same 15 million variable values.
Questions
Why is it so slow? Our DBAs assure us we have lots of table-space etc, and that the server is plenty powerful enough.
Any suggestions as to a better approach, given the restrictions we are working under?
We've looked at Tom Kyte's stuff about creating temporary tables via CTAS, but we have had serious problems with dynamic SQL on this project, so we are very reluctant to introduce more of it unless it's absolutely necessary. In any case, we have serious problems getting permissions to create DB objects - tables, indexes etc - dynamically.
So any advice would be gratefully received!
Thanks,
Chris

We have 8 "short-fat" tables to hold the source data uploaded from the source file via SQL*Loader (the SQL*Loader step is fast). The data consists simply of strings of characters, which we treat simply as VARCHAR2 for the most part.
These tables consist essentially of a case key (composite key initially) plus up to 250 data columns. 8*250 = 2000, so we can handle up to 2000 of these variable values. The source data may have 100 any number of variable values in each record, but each record in a given file has the same structure. Each file-load event may have a different set of variables in different locations, so we have to map the short-fat columns COL001 etc to the corresponding variable definition (for validation etc) at runtime.
CASE_ID VARCHAR2(13)
COL001 VARCHAR2(10)
COL250 VARCHAR2(10)
We do a bit of initial validation in the short-fat tables, setting a surrogate key for each case etc (this is fast), then we pivot+validate this short-fat data column-by-column into a "long-thin" intermediate table, as this is the target format and we need to store the validation results anyway.
The intermediate table looks similar to this:
CASE_NUM_ID NUMBER(10) -- surrogate key to identify the parent case more easily
VARIABLE_ID NUMBER(10) -- PK of variable definition used for validation and in target table
VARIABLE_VALUE VARCHAR2(10) -- from COL001 etc
STATUS VARCHAR2(10) -- set during the pivot+validate process above
The target table looks very similar, but holds cumulative data for many weeks etc:
CASE_NUM_ID NUMBER(10) -- surrogate key to identify the parent case more easily
VARIABLE_ID NUMBER(10) -- PK of variable definition used for validation and in target table
VARIABLE_VALUE VARCHAR2(10)
We only ever load valid data into the target table.

Processing large volume of idocs using BPM Processing

Hi,
I have a scenario in which SAP R/3 sends large volume say 30,000 DEBMAS Idocs to XI. XI then sends data to 3 legacy systems using jdbc adapter.
I created a BPM Process which waits for 4 hrs to collect all the idocs. This is what my BPM does:
1. Wait for 4 hrs Collect the idocs
2. For every idoc do a IDOC->JDBC Message transformation.
3. Append to a Big List
4. Loop at the Big list from step 4 and in the loop for
5. Start counter from 0 and increment. Append to a Small List.
6. if counter reaches 100 then send a Batch JDBC Message in send step.
7. Reset counter after every send.
8. Process remaining list i.e if there was an odd count of say 5300 idoc then the remaining 53 idocs will be sent in anther block.
After sending 5000 idocs to above BPM following problems are there:
1. I cannot read the workflow log as system does not respond.
2. In the For Each loop which loops through the big list of say 5000 idocs only first pass of 100 was processed after that the workflow item is not moving ahead. It remains in the status as "STARTED" but I do not see further processing.
Please tell me why certain Work Items are stuck is it becuase I have reached upper limit and is this the right approach? The Main BPM Process is also hanging from last 2 days.
I have concerns about using BPM for processing such high volume of idocs in production. Please advice and thanks in advance.
Regards
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Please read SAPs Checklist for proper usage of BPMs: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/d92e428819da2ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm
One point i'm wondering about is why do you send the IDocs out of R/3 one by one and don't use packaging there? From a performance stand point this is much better than a bpm.
The SAP Checklist states the following:
<i>"No Replacement for Mass Interfaces
Check whether it would not be better to execute particular processing steps, for example, collecting messages, on the sender or receiver system.
If you only want to collect the messages from one business system to forward them together to a second business system, you should do so by using a mass interface and not an integration process.
If you want to split a message up into lots of individual messages, also use a mass interface instead of an integration process. A mass interface requires only a fraction of the back-end system and Integration-Server resources that an integration process would require to carry out the same task. "</i>
Also you might want to have a look at the IDoc packaging capabilities within XI (available since SP14 i believe): http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7a/00143f011f4b2ee10000000a114084/content.htm
And here is Sravyas good blog about this topic: /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/12/09/xiidoc-message-packages
If for whatever reason you can't or don't want to use the IDoc packets from R/3 or XI there are other points on which you can focus for optimizing your process:
In the section "Using the Integration Server Efficiently" there is an overview on which steps are costly and which steps are not so costly in their resource consumption. Mappings are one of the steps that tend to consume a lot of resources and unless it is a multi mapping that can not be executed outside a BPM there is always the option to do the mapping in the interface determination either before or after the BPM. So i would sugges if your step 2 is not a multi mapping you should try to execute it before entering the BPM and just handle the JDBC Messages in the BPM.
Wait steps are also costly steps, so reducing the time in your wait step could potentially lead to better performance. Or if possible you could omitt the wait step and just create a process that waits for 100 messages and then processes them.
Regards
Christine

Dealing with large volumes of data

Background:
I recently "inherited" support for our company's "data mining" group, which amounts to a number of semi-technical people who have received introductory level training in writing SQL queries and been turned loose with SQL Server Management
Studio to develop and run queries to "mine" several databases that have been created for their use. The database design (if you can call it that) is absolutely horrible. All of the data, which we receive at defined intervals from our
clients, is typically dumped into a single table consisting of 200+ varchar(x) fields. There are no indexes or primary keys on the tables in these databases, and the tables in each database contain several hundred million rows (for example one table
contains 650 million rows of data and takes up a little over 1 TB of disk space, and we receive weekly feeds from our client which adds another 300,000 rows of data).
Needless to say, query performance is terrible, since every query ends up being a table scan of 650 million rows of data. I have been asked to "fix" the problems.
My experience is primarily in applications development. I know enough about SQL Server to perform some basic performance tuning and write reasonably efficient queries; however, I'm not accustomed to having to completely overhaul such a poor design
with such a large volume of data. We have already tried to add an identity column and set it up as a primary key, but the server ran out of disk space while trying to implement the change.
I'm looking for any recommendations on how best to implement changes to the table(s) housing such a large volume of data. In the short term, I'm going to need to be able to perform a certain amount of data analysis so I can determine the proper data
types for fields (and whether any existing data would cause a problem when trying to convert the data to the new data type), so I'll need to know what can be done to make it possible to perform such analysis without the process consuming entire days to analyze
the data in one or two fields.
I'm looking for reference materials / information on how to deal with the issues, particularly when a large volumn of data is involved. I'm also looking for information on how to load large volumes of data to the database (current processing of a typical
data file takes 10-12 hours to load 300,000 records). Any guidance that can be provided is appreciated. If more specific information is needed, I'll be happy to try to answer any questions you might have about my situation.

I don't think you will find a single magic bullet to solve all the issues. The main point is that there will be no shortcut for major schema and index changes. You will need at least 120% free space to create a clustered index and facilitate
major schema changes.
I suggest an incremental approach to address you biggest pain points. You mention it takes 10-12 hours to load 300,000 rows, which suggests there may be queries involved in the process which require full scans of the 650 million row table. Perhaps
some indexes targeted at improving that process is a good first step.
What SQL Server version and edition are you using? You'll have more options with Enterprise (partitioning, row/page compression).
Regarding the data types, I would take a best guess at the proper types and run a query with TRY_CONVERT (assuming SQL 2012) to determine counts of rows that conform or not for each column. Then create a new table (using SELECT INTO) that has strongly
typed columns for those columns that are not problematic, plus the others that cannot easily be converted, and then drop the old table and rename the new one. You can follow up later to address columns data corrections and/or transformations.

Split of a Large Volume Outbound Idoc

Hi,
anyone who can tell me how split of a large volume outbound idoc works?
/Elvez

Hi Elvez,
One way to split your idoc is to group your idoc into different segments
You can create segments and group your data logically.
Go through the following link. It will give you good tips on IDOCs

Retrive SQL from Webi report and process it for large volume of data

We have a Scenario where, we need to extract large volumes of data into flat files and distribute them from u2018Teradatau2019 warehouse which we usually call them as u2018Extractsu2019. But the requirement is such that, Business users wants to build their own u2018Adhoc Extractsu2019. The only way, I thought, to achieve this, is Build a universe, create the query, save the report and do not run it. Then write a RAS SDK to retrieve the SQL code from the reports and save into .txt file and process it directly in Teradata?
Is there any predefined Solution available with SAP BO or any other tool for this kind of Scenarios?

Hi Shawn,
Do we have some VB macro to retrieve Sql queries of data providers of all the WebI reports in CMS.
Any information or even direction where I can get information will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Convert large volumes in Oracle

I am trying to convert large tables from one instance to another (simple conversion).
Table has same layout in both systems. Doing conversion with takes ages.
So now we trying to convert via Oracle (exp/imp).
The schema-id's are different, but this issue can be tackled.
Now we found that the Oracle tables in the target system are always created with 'not null' contraint.
Now the import is impossible as a consequence.
Any ideas to tackle this, or any other ideas how to transfer large volumes.

Hi,
If I understand correctly that you want to copy a table contents from a system to another. At this stage, because of the constraints, it is not allow you to insert records at the target site.
So, you exported the table from the source system, but the fields without "NOT NULL" constraint. On the other hand, at the target site, same fields have "NOT NULL" constraint.
Under this circumstance, you may create the table first without "NOT NULL" fields at the destination and import the records in it.
You can use "brspace -f tbexport ..." for the import/export operations. Check the note 646681 - Reorganizing tables with BRSPACE

Extracting data from Z-table from SAP R/3 to BW

Hi all
I want to extract data from a Z-table from SAP R/3 system to Bw system. Currently I am on BW 3.5. Since it is a Z table I dont have a standard extractor for it & I dont knw how to create it. Can anyone provide me with the step-by-step documentation of how to extract data from a non standard SAP table????

Hi
You need to create Generic Datasource on the Z-Table you want to get data from
Go to RSO2 transaction to create generic datasource .
You need to give technical name of datasource under datasource type you want and click on create. Then you can give descrption and Application component under which u want see the datasource,
enter the z table name under view/ table and save.
here you can click on check boxes to make fields hidden or selection fields.

How to Access table in SAP

Hi Gurus,
Actually I am new to SAP and was wondering if somebody could tell me how to access a table in SAP where the relavant data is being stored.
e.g. If I want to check table VBAK, what wouldbe the menupath/t-code?
Thank you.
