Multiprovider on top of Infocube and ods

Hi,
I'm just wondering, I would like to create an Multiprovider on top of infocube and ods. While creating multirovider I can able to see my infocube but in ODS tab I'm not getting ODS which I need to consider.
I've gone through all available ODS's in ODS tab while creating Multiprovider but my ODS is coming here.
I'm working on BW 3.5 Version.
Advance thanks you very much.

Hi,
Just check weather u have any keyfigur in ur DSO or not. If not just add one keyfigur in your ODS and activate it and then try to look for it in multiprovider.
Hope it will help you.
Thanks
Mayank

Develop report based on INFOCUBE and ODS

Hi,
Pls, can anybody help regarding developing reports based on INFOCUBE
and ODS object
i am using SAP BW 7.0
what is the transaction code for reports
what are the steps to develop reports
Thanks\
- Mubeen.

There is no transaction code as such as you have to use the front-end application to create queries off your Cubes/ ODS.
open Bex query designer -> select info provider (cube or ods) -> drag and drop the keyfigures in columns, -> char in rows -> save.

The table for storing data for infocube and ODS

Hi all:
could you please tell me how to find the table for storing data for infocube and ODS?
thank you very much!

Hi Jingying Sony,
To find tables for any infoprvider go to SE11.
In database table field enter the following
Cube -
Has fact table and dimension table
For customized cube - ie cube names not starting with ' 0 '
Uncompressed Fact table - /BIC/F<infocubename>
Compressed fact table - /BIC/E<infocubename>
Dimension table - /BIC/D<infocubename>
For standard cube - ie cube names starting with ' 0 '
Uncompressed Fact table - /BI0/F<infocubename>
Compressed fact table - /BI0/E<infocubename>
Dimension table - /BI0/D<infocubename>
Click on display.
For DSO,
For standard DSO active table- /BI0/A<DSO name>00.
You use 40 for new table.
Click on display.
For customized DSO use- /BIC/A<DSO name>00.
An easier way is in the database table field, write the name of the cube/DSO preceeded and followed by ' * ' sign. Then press F4 . It shall give you the names of the available table for that info provider.
Double click on the name and choose display.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Infocube and ODS populated with DATA (need to add one more field?)

Hi,
If infocube and ODS have been populated with data for past 3 months. Then we need to add one more field to this cube. What is the impact? Please advise.
The following is my understanding. Please correct me if I am wrong.
1) Need to delete content of ODS and infocube.
2) insert the new field at ODS and infocube.
3) reload the data into ODS and infocube.
Is there a way that the current data need not be deleted.
Just add in this new field and only subsequent month, infocube will have this new field? Please advise what is the best approach without affecting existing data.

Hi,
Siggi is right. You dont need to delete the previously loaded data to CUBE or ODS. The only catch is that, your new field will be empty as far as history is concerned. But so long as you did map it to the datasource and the datasource is able to fill it up, then your new field will now have value for incoming DELTA Updates.
Addition of a field is not that complicated compared to deletion of a field from CUBE or ODS.

Load data to a modified InfoCube and ODS used in Production

Hi,
I have added few fields (InfoObjects) to the cube(s) and DSOs in BI 7.0. These Cubes and DSOs are BW 3.5 Objects and are in-use in Production.
My question: After I transport this new/enhanced InfoCube and DSO from Dev/Qua to Production, how to retrieve the old data from original Cube/DSO and populate data to new fields at DSO and Cube level.
Please advise.
Thanks,
~S

Hi Siddhartha Nayak
As ur enhanced the IC & ODS which r 3.x objects, i guess u havn't used the remodeling tool. Then u have to follow the old procedure to enhancing the cube.
Create a copy cube , Delete the contents of existing cube, enhance it & load the data to existing cube back from copy cube.
Same thing u have to follow in ur case also.

Shaiksha.

Performance difference between InfoCube and ODS

Hello guys,
I have to implement a data contrainer with round about 40 millions entries and more than 50 characteristics/items.
The question is fairly easy - what kind of data contrainer (ÍnfoCube or ODS-Object) is more powerful on reporting aspects, adopted i set up secondary indexes for specific characteristics on the ODS-Objekt or use line item dimensions for same characteristics at an InfoCube.
Thx 4 advise
Markus

Hi Markus,
from the point of view of reporting Cubes offer powerfull tools for improving performances.
One of the most important is the logical partitioning: if you have different years in your data you can split cubes for year and then aggregate all with a MultiProvider.
The system during query run will split the single query into several queries reading in parallel the single cubes under the Multiprovider.
Check in Business Intelligence area of SDN, you will find a document for performance improvement.
Ciao.

Infospokes for Infocubes and ODS

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to create Infospokes using ascii flat file interface.....
Can we create using ascii file format and would also like to know any other alternate means for the same.
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:
2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
2.b) All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
2.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
2.d) The file should be archived in the
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory. Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format. Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
you have to goto LISTCUBE. Where you can get the no of records per month.There you have to specify the particulour month of fiscal period.
-Click on manage tab of the cube and go to content and then click on fact table. you can see no. of recs.
-same for ods and click on active table button. you can see no. of records.
-go to Se16
enter table name RSRREPDIR . Press F8
Enter your cube name. also give OBJVERS = A .. execute..
Take the ODS active table name /BIC/AXXXXXXX00
enter in SE16 and enter and click on number of entries button on top.
pls go thru this

Can we Run the same Query on Infocube and ODS?

Hi all,
There is an ODS A, Currently Query_ABC is created on the ODS A,
The InfoObjects available in the ODS A are also available in the INFOCUBE B.
I want to delete the ODS A, So can we create the Query_ABC on INFOCUBE B.
If so, should i create the Query from scratch or is there any other way to copy the Query_ABC from ODS A to INFOCUBE B.
Please provide your valuable suggestions.
Thanks,
Sowrabh

HI,
Actually, Structures appear to be "Global" only within a specifi InfoProvider. If you are using RSZC then you are copying betwee providers, so I would expect that the copy may be having a problem wit the internal ID's associated to the Cells, which are probably derive based on the ID's of the rows and columns.
Since the Structures don't exist in the destination, or don't have the sam ID's then these pieces cannot be rebuilt in the copied query.
You could try this to get around having to rebuild:
1) In your source query make a copy in the same provider and remove the Ro and/or Column Named structure references (you don't delete the structure just make the query so it doesn't reference it). You do this b right-clicking on the structure name in the query, and chose the optio 'Remove reference'. This will make your query as if these details wer built directly in the query. Save this revised query.
2) Copy the revised query to your destination. Since all components wil contain internal ID's without reference to any external component (Structures) it should be able to copy everything.
You can then re-save the Row and/or Column definitions as structure associated to the destination InfoProvider, if you wish.
Thanks

Differences between an InfoCube and ODS object

Hello All,
I am always hearing that an ODS overwrites data while a cube adds data loaded, and an ODS is a flat table etc.
Does anyone have a comprehensive document/article on how they differ so that I can be weary when doing data loads etc and be in a better position to not make a mistake when deleting data out of the targets etc, especially since financial data is so sensitive.
Thank you and kind regards,
Keith Kibuuka

Hi Keith,
I found below data on another site..
The most important difference between ODS and BW is the existence of key fields in the ODS. In the ODS you can have up to 16 info objects as key fields. Any other info objects will either be added or overwritten! So if you have flat files and want to be able to upload them multiple times you should not load them directly into the info cube, otherwise you need to delete the old request before uploading a new one. There is the disadvantage that if you delete rows in the flat file the rows are not deleted in the ODS.
I also use ODS-Objects to upload control data for update or transfer routines. You can simply do a select on the ODS-Table /BIC/A<ODSName>00 to get the data.
ODS is used as an intermediate storage area of operational data for the data ware house . ODS contains high granular data . ODS are based on flat tables , resulting in simple modeling of ODS .
we can cleanse transform merge sort data to build staging tables that can later be used to populate INOFCUBE .
Thanks
An infocube is a multidimentionsl dat acontainer used as a basis for analysis and reporting processing. The infocube is a fact table and their associated dimension tables in a star schema. It looks like a fact table appears in the middle of the graphic, along with several surrounding dimension tables. The central fact is usually very large, measured in gigabytes. it is the table from which you retrieve the interesting data. the size of the dimension tables amounts to only 1 to 5 percent of hte size of the fact table. common dimensions are unit & time etc. There are different type of infocubes in BW, such as basic infocubes, remote infocubes etc.
An ODS is a flat data container used for reporting and data cleansing/quality assurance purpose. They are not based on star schema and are used primaily for detail reporting rather than for dimensional analyais.
An infocube has a fact table, which contains his facts (key figures) and a relation to dimension tables. This means that an infocube exists of more than one table. These tables all relate to each other. This is also called the star scheme, because the dimension tables all relate to the fact table, which is the central point. A dimension is for example the customer dimension, which contains all data that is important for the customer.
An ODS is a flat structure. It is just one table that contains all data.
Most of the time you use an ODS for line item data. Then you aggregate this data to an infocube.

Value of Infocube and ODS Line Item for a Reporting User.

Hi,
I want to give authorizatoin to a reporting user for InfoCube as well as ODS Line Item . I tried give values of InfoCube as well as value of ODS Line Item in Auth. Object "S_RS_COMP" in the field of Infocube. But it only accepts the value of Infocube. Then where shall I specify the value of ODS Object.
Please guide
Sam

Hi Suneel,
Thanks for your reply.
Do you mean to say the check box in RSA1->EDit ODS Object->Settings->BEx Reporting ?
If you mean the same one, then it is already checked. But still am not getting the ODS Names in Infocube field of S_RS_COMP.

Sam

Infocubes?ODS?Multiprovider?Infoset?-Performance?????

Hello Experts,
      Infocubes?ODS?Multiprovider?Infoset?
In our design stage we had no problem creating ODS and Cube's but as our requirements kept changing we had to create Infosets rather than Multicubes as we were not having common fields between Cube and ODS. Secondly we couldn't have cubes as Infosets are built between ODS and Infoobjects.
      Can someone throw some light on the performance issues based on our current design were we have ODS and Infosets built. What are the pros and cons between
1) InfoCubes and ODS
2) MultiCubes and Infosets
      Any kind of thoughts would be of great help in our analysis.
Thanks,
Priya
Guys anyone who faced difficulty in analyzing such issues please do post your views.

We has the same requirements ...and had to build a lot of info sets ....
Reporting on any of the Navigational Attributes is NOT possible on an Info Set.
Go to RSRT and look on what fields on which the query is doing a Sequential read...if required try to build indexes on that fields.
In some cases we cannot restrict the queries ...if you are queering on yearly reports ...running against InfoSet's is not at all recommended......
For better performance of your queries try to build secondary indexes and as far as possible try to avoid InfoSet ....BW 3.5 has ADP try to workout something on that if u are on 3.5.
For performance try to compress your request in your cubes on your BP.
Let me know

How to get the size of all InfoCubes and DSO's?

Hi all,
My client wants a complete list of all InfoCubes and DSO's in terms of size (no records but KB). This list of the Cubes / DSO's gives us a picture of the used storage per Area and can be charged. Iu2019ve seen some threats and looked into the possibilities of ST14 and DB02. ST14 provides the ideal list but with a restriction for the top 30 InfoCubes and the top 30 DSO's. Does anyone know how to get such a list for all InfoCubes and DSO's?
Thnx in advance,
Henk.

Hello Henk,
while I am searching for some performance problems in our BI, I tried to look through the new DB02 of BI 7.0. And there is a function which helps a lot creating lists of Cube, DSOs and so on:
Start DB02
On the left side find SPACE -> Additional Functions -> BW Analysis
A Doubleclick will give you a broad survey of the current memory disposition regarding BI/BW objects.
In the BW Area "Cubes & related objects" you can find Infocube E- and F-Facttable. Depending on the Compressed state of your cubes you will find more data in E or F. Just doubleclick on one of these Entries. In my environment currently F-Tables are more effective.
You will then get a list of all Infocubes with size.
You will have to this for E and F Tables and some up over the Infocubes. But, because this will show only the Cubes and not the partitions of the cube it will be much easier to handle than DB02OLD.
Perhaps this helps, because you did not mention your BW/BI release.
Kind regards,
Jürgen

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 ..
