New Dimensions in Standard InfoCube

Hi,
Can we add new dimensions in a standard InfoCube.
Thanks

Hi,
You can add new dimensions in the Stand Infocube.
Remodeling :
Using remodeling a characteristic can be simply deleted or added/replaced with a constant value, value of another InfoObject (in the same dimension), with value of an attribute of another InfoObject (in the same dimension) or with a value derived using Customer Exit. Similarly a KeyFigure can be deleted, replaced with a constant value or a new KeyFigure can be added and populated using a constant value or a Customer Exit.
I hope you may understand now.
Thanks,
Hema

Some fields missing in SD Standard Infocubes

Hi,
I have installed SD Cubes 0SD_C01, 0SD_C03 and 0SD_C05 for the customer. Now according to his latest requirements, he wants to see the values for Sales Document Number, Delivery Number and Billing Doc. number also in the reports.
I have checked in the dimensions of all the three cubes but not able to find these chars there.
How can I display the values for these chars in the reports? Can I just add these chars into the relevant cubes, activate it and map the transformations again....is it possible...???
Thanks

Yes, it is possible....
but they are not in standard infocube because these details expand the number records of infocube...
it is best practise do not use maximum detail in infocube; these details are used in datastore objects (usually are the keys).
one of reason is the performance improvement on the query execute.
however, if you want these details, try to create a new infocucube, do not modify the standard one..
regards.

Problem while adding a new dimension in a existing cube with data in BW3.5

Hi,
We are trying to create a new dimension with new characteristics in a existing cube. But while activating we are getting error that "InfoCube contains data; intentional changes not permitted". Can we add a new dimension in a existing cube with data in BW3.5? If it is not possible then we can take the backup and delete the data from cube and then change the cube. But my question is that, when we will transport the cube with changes to quality then will it transport successfully or same procedure needs to be done there as well.
Regards,
Saikat

hi,
Adding new infoobject /dimension to the cube containing data in 3.5 is not possible.
easier solution is create a new cube similar to old and add the new dimension and proceed.
else you have to drop data and transport.

Creation of New Dimensions

Dear
I want to create new dimensions as I have only ASGRUN and ASGPTO_YTD in the balance dimension form
Secondly I want to store running balances of an element value start from employee joining date to end of service.
Thanks

what is your legislation?
If there exists a localisation for your legislation, then you should have more then 2 balance dimensions.
If there is no localization, creating one (from ZZ) should you also give more then 2 dimensions. (see ML 261452.1)
So i'm surprised you do not have the ASGITD (Inception to date, which accumulates run results from the hire date on).
There is also a standard concurrent program to add extra dimensions, but i would first try to understand why the seeded ASGITD is not there.

How to cretae new dimension in an existing cube in BI7

HI BI Gurus
Could you please let me know that is it possible to add a new Dimension in a BI 7 infocube using the Remodelling tool . The cube name is 0TCT_C21 and the dim table is /BI0/D0TCT_C212 . I want to redefine the existing Dim table and want to remove the char
Process Instance (SID) (0TCTINSTSID) and want to create another new dim whic will be a line Item dim and will ad dthe char as Line item char . because the DIm/Fact ratio is 96% in the cube . The chars are in the existing dimension is BW System,Process Chain ID,Process Chain LOG ID,Process Type,Process Variant,Object Version .
Please let me know your view and also is it possible to chage the dimension and add new dimension ?
Regards
Saptarshi

Hi
This is not possible through remodelling. Please see this http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/9b/0bc041f123c717e10000000a155106/frameset.htm.
For your requirement , you will have to delete the data and make changes to the existing flow. But you should take care of all the issues that might come up with this changes.

Check dimensions consistency in infocube

Dear all,
I need to check dimensions consistency in infocube.
I know there're a lot of test in RSRV transaction, but I can't find which is right for me and what's the meaning of test (all are green).
I need to check if I put right characteristics together (none relation NxM in dimension), because I'm implementing financial flow (FM and GM) and standard cubes (FM and GM) are discrepant (some characteristics alone in FM cube, the same together in GM).
Thank you,
Alessandra

Hi,
As per I understand you want to check how grouping the various char in the dimensions of the cube will affect the performace of the cube.... or what is the better way to group the infoobjects in the dimension.
You cannot check this in program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS in SE38.
Just execute it and search for your cube.
it will give you the information about the data stored in all the dimension and the there percentage as related to fact table.
Here the one which exceeds more then 20% will show up in red and you need to fix those dimensions and rearrange the char in them and shift to another dimension.
this can be done only if the cube contains data and you should try it in production.
Without loading cube you cannot decide right combination or you will have to reply upon your experience.
Thanks

Standard InfoCube for BI Query

Hi all,
I need to identify standard InfoCubes for the following requirement:
- Sales order amount per order, customer, division *should be extract from sales order
- Sales cost amount per order, customer, division *should be extract from CO/PA?
- Sales revenue amount per order, customer, division *should be extract from billing document
- AR amount per order, customer, division *should be extract from FI? AR?
- Cleared AR amount per order, customer, division *should be extract from FI? AR?
Could you let me know what standard InfoCube would fit the best for this requirement?
Cheers~

Hi Dave,
If you can't find the exact standard one, you can always copy the existing sales cube which has other information you want
and add a new Key Figure to calculate the amount you want through routine or formula.
Another option is, you can always do the calculation at query level through CKFs or Virtual KFs.
Thanks.

Error while creating a new Dimension/Model in BPC 10.0 NW

Hello Experts,
I am using BPC 10.0 NW system.
When I try to create new Dimensions or Models I get the following Error Message.
"Error in Admin module or a component used by Admin module.
Failed to create SAP NetWeaver BI InfoObject for dimension."
I am assigned to all the needed task profiles to create Dimensions and Models.
Please assist me to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Archana

Thanks Roberto.
The error was coming because while creating the user id "SAP_ALL" Profile was not assigned. So I was not able to create Dimensions and models.
Now the issue is solved.

How to add a new dimension in ASO cube without losing all data

Hi,
I have an ASO cube with 18 dimensions and I want to add a new one (regular). When I add this new dimension it asked me that the all data has to cleared before the restructure can take place. If I click yes then I would lose all data regardless of the fact if I have a level0 export or not. Because when I tried to reload the export back into the cube it gave me an error cause all the dimensions were not present in the export. Does anyone know how would I be able to accomplish this task?
Thanks
fikes

You can try this work around solution.
1) Export Lev0 data
2) Clear the cube
3) Add new dimension Regular.
4) Add a default member Reg00 in the new dimension and save.
5) Open the Lev0 data in a text editor, Insert "Reg00" in the begining of the file and Enter.
6) Lev0 file will have first record "Reg00" and the remaining export file will be from the second record.
7) Load the modified file with out rule file.
You can verify that all your history data will be loaded w.r.to the Reg00 of the New dimension Regular.

Adding a New Dimension to a CUBE

Hello
Being in new at Oracle OLAP...
If I need to add a new dimension, SHOULD I RECREATE the cube entirely again??
Is not there any other way??
Regards

Each cell in a cube is referenced by a dimension. Think of it as pointers to cells in a multi-dimensional array.
So when you add or remove a dimension, what should happen to all those cells.
In a way you are breaking the cube.
Since cube data is loaded from a table, you can always re-load your cube after adding or removing a dimension.
Dimensions are not added/removed frequently, once the design is finalized. You may add a new hierarchy to existing dimensions, which is done more frequently compared to adding a dimension. After adding a new hierarchy, you just have to re-aggregate cube data and not re-load from relational source.
Cubes are created for reporting, and can be deleted/recreated or truncated - monthly, quarterly or yearly - for various reasons.
Your source transactional detailed data should be in one (or more) fact tables and should never be deleted.
Is there any "operational" concern in a Production environment, because of which you are asking this question?
One trick could be: to create the new cube (with more dimensions or less dimensions than the original cube) and then COPY DATA from original cube into that new cube.
But it may take the same amount of time as re-loading the new cube from the relational source.

New Dimension to a Cube

Hi,
We've a cube already in production (with huge amount of data). Now we have to add few more 'new' characteristics to this cube.
My question is, can I create new Dimension and add characteristics to this without deleting data?
As the characteristics are new, we don't have to care about reloading the cube as data for these new characteristics don't exist.
Can it be done? Any thoughts?
Regards,
Vikrant.

Hello,
If you had a new characteristic to an existing dimension you don't have to delete data. I already done that procedure many times.
This can help you too:
From this weblog:
Remodeling in NW BI 2004s
"In BW 3.5 version, if data is present in an infoprovider, we can add an infoobject to it, but we cannot delete or replace an existing infoobject in it, unless all infoprovider data is deleted.
This problem has been overcome in BI 2004s version, where the concept of 'Remodeling' can be used to change the structure of an infoprovider even while it holds data."
Ok, so, in version BW3.X and BI7 you can add a new characteristic to an existing dimension, but you have more options in BI7. If you want to had a new dimension you have to delete all data.

Jorge Diogo

Create a new dimension in business layer from Data source: text file on the web

Hi,
I have a text data source which is published every few hours that is accessible from a certain URL. I follow the instruction given in this http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-43144 - where it shows in great detail how to create the connection, data foundation as well as business layer to create a universe for this type of data.
All is well - I can use this universe in my WEBI doc and display the data.
However, in order for me to merge the data from this universe with another universe, I need to create new dimension based on the data from the text file. The new dimension value is simply the first 4 characters of the Subject found in the text file. The "Subject" dimension is of variant type: varchar.
Following the guide mentioned earlier, the connection is using SAP BO OpenConnectivity driver. And this driver limits severely the SQL statement that I can use to extract a substring of another string. Here's the screenshot of the SQl expression that I can use with this driver
After hours of searching, I cannot find any other connection driver for a text file that's published on a certain URL. The BO OpenConnection driver is the best that I could find.
So here are my problems
1. one of my data source is a text file published on a web
2. the only connection I can create does not allow me to create new dimension in the universe to create an important column "subject ID"
3. I can create the column in webi as a variable. But when I do so, I cannot merge it with existing dimension (webi not allowing to merge these 2 types). And without the merge, the flat file universe with my database universe can't be combined.
I'm using WEBI Rich client version 4.1 SP3 Patch 1. Build 14.1.3.1300
Is there any other idea that you can suggest without requiring to change the extracted data?
Thanks.
With warm regards

Hi Bala,
Were you able to find out a solution for the problem with uploading values for a variable from a text file on the web? I am confronted with the same request from users.

I would post this on the OLAP forum as they should be able to help you diagnose this problem. The OLAP forum can be found at the following link:
OLAP
There is not much detail in your log, but I suspect that your OLAP mappings are incomplete or the maintenance of your dimension to load the new attribute data somehow failed. I would check the OLAP AWM build logs for more information.
Thanks

error was coming and error log as follows-

Hi Herman,
Thanks for reply.Is there any SAP note or document for this steps?
My scenario system Landscape like BW DEV-BW PRD.
Our both BW System were on Oracle DB. We have migrated oracle DB to HANA DB .
PRD system infocube have 7 year of data and infocube is Standard Infocube.So we want to migrate all standard infocube to HANA optimized .
