Master Data Extraction through Open Hub services(InfoSpoke)

Hello,
I need your help on this issue,
Here is my scenario...
I want to extract Master data from BW (Info Object) as a file and put it in a server then later that can be picked up by some other deprtment for their process. This process has to be automated to run on a weekly basis.
I know this can be done through a InfoSpoke(either ATTR or Text) and Process Chain but I want both attributes & text data in a single file because through InfoSpoke we can get either ATTR or TEXT data in a file.
1)Is there any way we can have both TEXT and ATTRIBUTEs data in a single file.
2) Also what are the options to transfer the file from a BW app server into another non-BW server?
Currenty I created a BEx query against a InfoObject, ruuning a report and sending them the file manually. I want to automate the process.
I would appreciate if you could give me input on the above.
Thanks

Hi,
The simpleset way to do is to create a ODS with the required columns and map it to your TEXT and ATTR. Then you could use either a Query or a Info Spoke to extract data how ever you want it. Since you are using master data it would have been validated, so you don't need to use a reportable ODS, which takes time to activate the data. So create a info set on top of the ODS and do a simple query if you want to use it. If you want to automate completely and deliver the output as .CSV file to the destination server you may have to do little bit more and that will involve some serious ABAP work. The simpleset would be have a ODS 'Non reportable' and extract the data using info spoke.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks,
Alex.

Data Extraction in Open Hub Destination using Process Chain

Hi
I want to extract data in Open Hub Destination (database table)from Data Store Object(ODS) through Process Chain.
When i tried to create process chain, i found only one option under Process types - Data export into External System. Here it asks for Infospoke instead of Open Hub Destination.

Michael is correct and below is the rationale...

<b>Integration</b>
You can use the data transfer process to update data to the open hub destination. The data is transformed in this process. Not all rules types are available in the transformation for an open hub destination: Formulas, reading master data, time conversion, currency translation and unit conversion are not available.

Query regarding Open Hub Services

Hi All,
I am trying to find out if delta extraction is possible through open hub services to a cube which is running daily full load?
To make the scenario more clear:
I have a cube A which is getting loaded on a daily basis (FULL LOAD) but before loading it's deleting the whole data from the cube & loading fresh full load.....this is to get the updated data...
Now I want to set up InfoSpoke for this in delta extraction mode, is this possible???
It would be of a great help if someone can explain how delta mechanism work in open hub services. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kironmoy Banerjee

Can anyone tell me how to extract the master data attached to a field through InfoSpoke?
Ex: I have a field called OIS_BP in one of my InfoCube, I have created an InfoSpoke where I have mapped this filed, but when it extracts data, it will be like 0IS_BP = 1100022, or1100023, 100024 etc, we can not see he master data assigned to it, I mean we can't see the name or address of BP No. 1100022 or 1100023 or 1100024.
Can any one tell me how to add the names with these BP in InfoSpoke?

Kironmoy Banerjee.

Open hub Services - How to extract the master data related to a object ?

Hi Gurus,
I am implementing OpenHub services for our project, it's on BW 3.5, I have the list of required fields with which I am creating an InfoSpoke. Now I am stuck in some the info objects which are having master data associated with it.
Example : Business partner(BP) data, when I map the 0BP infobjects in infospoke it's extracting the BP ID (ex: CT065316,CT068638 etc) in flat file but I want the BP name, address & telephone number as well, which are coming from master data table. But I am able to map only 0BP infobjects as a part of ODS/Cube.
Can any one tell me how to get the master data extracted in the flat file with associated info object???
Answers will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kironmoy Banerjee

Hi Kironmay
Please follow the below mentioned procedure to create a transformation. This is applicable for BW 3.5 as well.
- Enter your infospoke in the edit mode.
- On the Transformation tab set the indicator for the Infospoke with Transformation with BADI so that the infospoke is activated.
- This will take you to the Addin implementation/BADI builder.
- Enter the short text/description for the implementation. The implementation name is always the same as the technical name of the infospoke
- The implementation of the BADI is always filter dependant.
- In the properties tab of the infospoke enter your infospoke under the Filter specifications.
If you do not specify an InfoSpoke under Filter Specifications, then this implementation is valid for all InfoSpokes. This means that this is called up for all InfoSpokes during the extraction.
- Activate your class
- From your interface tab page, double click on the Transofrm Method and you will arrive in the class builder page
- Here you can enter the code
- To do a look up of the master data you have to write a code similar to the one I've given below. This is just an example for looking up material master.
IF FLT_VAL = 'Your infospoke'.
T_DATA_IN[] = I_T_DATA_IN[].
Select zstd_cost from /bi0/pmaterial into table T_return
For all entries in T_DATA_IN
WHERE material = T_DATA_IN-material.
...Continue with your code.
Append output from T_return to your output E_T_DATA_OUT
- Activate your method. Return to the BAdI builder. Return to your InfoSpoke.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

Open hub services and infospokes

I am quite new to BW,i like to know about open hub services and what are infospokes and it is used to implement open hub services.i will b happy if u can provide some materials as well.

Hi,
The open hub service enables you to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, you can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for the export of data is the InfoSpoke. Using this, you can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred.
Through the open hub service, SAP BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the distribution status in the BW system.
Functions
BW objects such as InfoCubes, ODS objects, or InfoObjects (attributes or texts) can act as open hub data sources. You can select database tables or flat files as open hub destinations. Both a full and a delta mode are also available as the extraction mode.
Components of the Open Hub Service
The open hub service is made up of the following objects:
InfoSpoke
The central object for the data export is the InfoSpoke.
The InfoSpoke defines the following:
u2022 The open hub data source from which the data is extracted
u2022 The extraction mode
u2022 The open hub destination into which the data is delivered.
In addition, you can also select which data selection is to be extracted from which InfoProviders. This selection ensures that a destination for different points in time from the same InfoProvider can be supplied with data for different selection criteria using a delta. The selection set is freely configurable as long as extraction has not taken place in the delta mode. Once it has, this no longer applies.
Open Hub Data Source
BW objects such as InfoCubes, ODS objects, MultiProviders and MultiProviders and InfoObjects (attributes or texts) can function as open hub data sources. If you use an InfoCube with non-cumulative key figures as a data source, refer to the note regarding the settings on the Selection tab page in Creating InfoSpokes.
Extraction Mode
An InfoSpoke can extract data in two ways: in full mode (F) and in delta mode (D). See InfoSpoke Extraction Mode.
Open Hub Destination
Database tables (from the database in the BW system) and flat files (CSV) can act as open hub destinations. See also Extraction to Database Tables and Extraction to Flat Files. You can extract the data from a database to a non-SAP system using APIs with a third-party tool. See also Extraction to Non-SAP Systems.
The open hub destination includes all information about a target system for the InfoProvider data: type of destination, name of the flat file or the database table. It also contains a logical target system. The logical target system is used to structure the individual open hub destinations in the open hub monitor. The open hub monitor groups the requests according to logical target system, open hub destination and InfoSpoke. By specifying a logical target system, you get a better overview of the individual open hub requests.

Infospoke/Open hub services

Guys, I am having problem with creating open hub services. I have to push the data out to csv file. I have been able to give it a name and see the field but what is next? Is there something that I need to push to trigger it to create the file with the data in it? Also please correct me if I am wrong Isn't Infospoke same thing as open hub services? Please let me know.
Thanks,
RG.

Once the file name is given,if its a download to PC then it can only be executed in Foreground(Dialog).
Give necessary selections for the download & execute.
The open hub service allows you to distribute data from a BI system to non-SAP data marts, analytical applications, and other applications.It ensures controlled distribution across multiple systems. The InfoSpoke defines the object from which data is taken and the target into which it is transferred.

Sample Code in BADI for Open Hub Services

Hi all,
        We have a requirement to extend(add few new fields and populate them using BADI) for the target structure of Infospoke in Open hub services.
I have 2 issues which are stopping us to proceed further.
       1.   I did this by just adding new fields in this change mode of target Structure (didn't used 'Append structure' as while saving and creating T.port request,its popping error like 'Structure not present in TRDIR).I am not able to assign this to any T.request,as of now I have saved it as Local object.How can I assign this to an request?is it possible?.
       2. After putting breakpoint in the BADI I don't see any data in the Importing table.I need some sample code in the BADI which should populate the New fields in the target structure.
It will be great if anyone of you will give us any solution for the same.
Thanks,
Rahul.

BW Open Hub Services...

Hi All,
We need to load Master Data in SAP BW to our SAP CRM system. Someone recommended Open Hub Service in BW (using InfoSpokes). I want to know if it is possible to load the data directly in SAP CRM, instead of using a Flat file generated in Open Hub.
Someone said we can use DB Connect for this, please validate and give me some help links where i can find more info in Open Hub and DB Connect functionality

Hi Suma...
The SAP Open Hub service enables you to distribute data from an SAP BI/BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, you can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for the export of data is the InfoSpoke. Using this, you can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred, leveraging SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) as the transfer/transform mechanism.
SAP BI objects such as InfoCubes, ODS objects, or InfoObjects can act as open hub data sources. You can select database tables or flat files as open hub destinations, and then use those destinations as actual sources within SSIS. To automate the extraction using SAPu2019s Open Hub Service, youu2019ll need to setup a process chain. Note that both a full and delta modes are also available as the extraction mode.
As stated already with direct extraction from SAP R/3, once data is extracted out of SAP NetWeaver® BI (SAP BW), the destination of that data could be any relational database (such as SQL Server), and then reports (from SSRS) and multi-dimensional cubes (from SSAS) can be created from that database data. The resulting SQL Server reports/cubes could then be used within the Microsoft Business Intelligence delivery mechanisms, such as through Excel, SharePoint, PerformancePoint, etc.

Open Hub Vs Infospoke

Hi All,
In BW 7 We are using Open Hub & previously using Infospoke in BW 3.5. My question is in infospoke we have the flexibility of using BADI but in Open Hub we dont have that option. can we still use infospoke instead of Open HUB. Are there any advantages of open hub over infospoke.
Thanks,
Kiran.

Open Hub services in BI 7.0

Hi Experts,
I am working on BI 7.0 and have a requirement where i have to extract data from a standard sales cube(0SD_C03).I will be using open hub services,but i also need to send the master data attributes along with this into the application file server.
I did the following steps
1) created an openhub destinationa as a CSV file and selected the fields i needed.(Cube has 80+,but i selected only 10 fields for my file).
2) added an infoobject YINVGP which is an attribute of 0Material
3) The transformations were automatically created by the system.
4) Created a tranformation between 0MATERIAL and its Attribute YINVGP and selected the rule type as "Read Master Data".
5) When i click on transfer values to activate the changes,its giving me the following error.
Rule11(Target/BIC/YINVGP Group:01 Standard group) No master data characterstic selected.
Rule(Target Field:/BIC/YINVGP) No source assigned.
Can the experts confirmif i am missing anything?If so please suggest on how to get the master data using open hub services.
Is this possible with open hub services,if so i would really appreciate anybody can pass me screenshots or step by step procedure,as i have not worked on open hub earlier.
thanks in advance

Hi Naga,
I have seen the link you have sent me.It doesnt really help me.But thanks anyways.I am able to create a CSV file,which is not a problem.But my question is can i get the attributes of 0Material to appear in the same file.SAP has provided an option to read master data in the transformation rules,and when i try to use the rule,its giving me an error saying source has not been assigned.
thanks
