ODS Bex Reporting Off and SID Question??

Hi...
We were looking at the Specific question below:----
We have switched off the BEx reporting functionality on an ODS and are using an Infoset to query against the ODS, so there is only 1 table in this Infoset.
Question:----
Does the Query written on this Infoset need to go through a SID table fo eg: It spends a lot of time in Serial Nbr SID table (/BIC/SZSERNR) which is an Infobject used in the ODS.
I tried a few things as explained below:----
I actually created a few New Infobjects based on the Infobjects from the Original ODS. We created a new ODS similar to the original ODS by replacing some of the Old Infobjects with the New Infobjects. I switched Off the Bex Reporting option for this ODS. It did not inserts any SID’s while loading the Data into this New ODS...However while executing the Query on an Infoset built on this New ODS, it updated the SID table for the New Infobjects.
I was wondering when the option of Switching Off BEx Reporting is to facilitate faster Loading of Data, why does the query need to insert the SID’s during the Query execution as that increases the Response time on the Query. These New Infobjects are not used in any Infocubes so is there a necessity to maintain the SID’s as we are trying to Query on an Infoset.
Please provide your valuable opinions..
Thanks and Regards
Andy

Andy,
I'm not sure, but this could be a track.
The ODS or Infoset are checked to update the BW Statistics? Maybe a update is taken if BW Statistics are tracking the query execution on these dataproviders.

  • ODS Bex Reporting Indicator

    Hello All
    We are using BW V3.5 and an ODS 0FIGL_O02. In the data model,  this ODS was feeding up to a cube and we were reporting off a multiprovider. We encountered load and performance issues so as part of a model review we switched off the Bex Reporting Indicator in the ODS settings. It made little difference to our performance problem so we simplified the model and decided to report off the ODS after switching back on the indicator. We transported the ODS and the report separately.
    This solution worked fine in our DEV and QAS clients but not in the live system. Using Bex we can open the query in prod but when we run (via a portal) we are getting the error message that "ODS 0FIGL_O02 not configured for Bex Reporting". Also if we attempt to create a new report on the ODS in Bex the ODS cannot be found.
    We can see the Bex indicator is on in all clients. We have used RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE to check the ODS consistency in all clients and in Prod we get an amber light with the message "The Bex reporting was switched on for ODS object  0FIGL_O02" and a green light with the message "ODS object 0FIGL_O02 is consistent".
    We have tried creating a new ODS using 0FIGL_O02 to copy from but again encounter the same problem in Prod.
    Does anyone have any input or come across the same problem ? Should we create a brand new ODS ...?
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Helen,
    You can switch On BEx reporting, even ODS contains data. Initial activation of ODS takes time, as it tries to create/generates SID's for historic data.
    Using "Foreign Key Relationship of Reporting-Relevant ODS Object and SID Table Characteristics" showed 2 red lights for data entries in the ODS, fine, but a data issue shouldnu2019t affect the ODS Object status?
    We also get an amber light that BEx Reporting was switched on for the ODS u2013 how would we get this light to green given we canu2019t change settings in live client u2013 have already tried OSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE and as previous posting re transporting.
    Try to correct in RSRV, using option correct at menu bar. Have you tried, are you getting any message...? after correction do test again... it should be green.
    Try to find out any program or function module and reactivate ODS data again to generate SID's again.
    Hope it Helps

  • ODS-BEx Reporting

    Hi
    I am creating an ODS and I am trying to figure out how to enable the BEx Reporting service.
    I expand Settings tab but, unfortunately, there is not there.
    Any help??
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S. I am using BI 7.0

    Hi Anster
    The Generation of SID Values indicator has replaced the BEx Reporting indicator in BW 3.x.

  • The location of my hometown (Hysham, Montana) is off by over 50 miles ever since Apple Maps came out.  I have been reporting off and on ever since but it has never corrected.  What do I need to do to get this fixed?!

    The location of Hysham in Apple Maps is off by over 50 miles and has been ever since the advent of the app.  I have gone through the motions many times to place the pin the correct location.  Unfortunately, no one at Apple seems to care if Hysham, Montana is plotted in the correct location or not.  The location displayed in Apple Maps is quite literally in the middle of nowhere.  If someone were to rely on Apple Maps to get to Hysham may very well end up marooned in the midst of muddy two track road in the summer or stuck in a snowdrift in the winter with little or no hope of expedient assistance.  Other than the reporting feature in Maps, there appears to be no other means to report mistakes and there appears to be no expedient means at Apple to filter through reports and fix the errors.  In sum, What do I have to do to get the location of Hysham fixed in Apple Maps?  Much thanks!

    You have done all that you can. Apple maps depends on 3rd party map data solutions. As problems are reported, they are reported to the data providers. How and when they decide to make changes is up to them.
    You can also let Apple know you are disappointed in this via feedback at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

  • Power off and alarm questions

    Help please.
    question 1- I use the sleep button to turn the power off, but nothing ever happens, the manual says a red slider is suppose to show up, but it doesn't.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Question 2- when the alarm goes off, are you suppose to hear it? The screen shows "alarm"- but no noise comes out of the Itouch...do you have to have headphones on?

    If you're using the sleep button on the top left of the iPod Touch, you should be able to press and hold it for only a moment or two and the "power off" slider should appear. Something sounds like it's wrong. You may want to try reseting the software through iTunes. If that doesn't work, it could be a hardware malfunction (the button itself) that may need repairing.

    We have a report thats has been running well in production for more about 18 months. This month it did not complete execution.

  • ODS and SID generation

    I‘ve learnt that, in an ODS, when the BEx Reporting is flagged, SID’s are created for the characteristics.
    Are the SID’s always created or only for the case when the Masterdata for the characteristic are not available?
    Please clarify.
    <removed>
    Thank you

    Thank you Mr. Sharma.
    Could you also answer my next question on SID's ?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Bex Report Designer: Error while loading metadata

    hi experts,
    I am working with BI7 Bex Report Designer and we are using SP9. when i tried to load the Query in Report Designer its giving below error.
    Error while loading metadata.
    Check the Query and portal settings.(but the query is working fine in Analyzer).
    and its giving message class RSBOLAP, message number 018 and Description is java system error: incoming call is not authorized.
    when i double click the error its giving below error details.
    Diagnosis
    An error occurred in the BI components on the SAP J2EE Engine.
    System Response
    Procedure
    Contact your system administrator to have the error analyzed in detail.
    Procedure for System Administration
    Start the Visual Administrator, log on to the SAP J2EE Engine and choose "<J2EE_SID>" ->"Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Viewer".
    The file "defaultTrace.trc" includes detailed information about the error that occurred. In Windows, you can find this file in the Log Viewer under "Cluster <computer name>" -> "Server <server number>" -> "<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<INSTANCE>\j2ee\cluster\server<NUMBER>\log". ". In Unix, the file is located under "/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/server<NUMBER>/log".
    If the file does not include enough detail about the error, you can increase the log level to obtain more information. To do this, choose "<J2EE_SID>" -> "Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Configurator". On the "Locations" tab page, choose "com" -> "sap" -> "ip" -> "bi" -> "webapplications". Using the selection list on the right side of the screen, you can increase the log level, whereby "DEBUG" represents the log level with the most information. You can save your settings by choosing the "Save" icon. The change to the log level is active immediately. Once you have successfully analyzed the error, you should set the log level back to its default value using the appropriate pushbutton; continuous writing to the log file negatively affects the overall performance of the system.
    could you plz suggest me how to rectify the problem.
    regards
    vadlamudi

    Hi vadlamudi
    The error message RSBOLAP 018 means, that the ABAP stack can't communicate with the Java Stack.
    1) Please ensure, that the user, used for the Report Designer, is valid in the Portal too. Depending on the user management setup this means that there either needs to be the same user or an assigned user in the Portal.
    2) In case the user is valid, it means a basic misconfiguration according to note 937697. In this case please run the Support Desk Tool and ensure, that all checks are green. Please ensure, that the latest version of the Support Desk Tool is used.

  • Best approach to "migrate" from BEX reports to Webi reports ?

    Hello,
    i have read lots of documents regarding best practices on how to built webi reports and universes on top of BW.
    But i can't find any document about best approach, not in performance way of thinking but in best way of using reports.
    i mean: when end users are coming from bex reports (where they can drill down through hierarhies and use free filters ) to webi reports (where layout is quite beatiful and user can change it easely), this is not the same way of consuming reports.
    I come from BO world and are new on reporting on top of BW.
    for me webi is good for quite static layout reporting where data is clear and available.of course you can have prompts for interactivy and more accurate reporting.  Drill down is just a functionality but is not the real purpose of the report tool.
    So ,according to me there is a gap between both tools (BEX and WEBI) but end users are the same.
    So i 'm wondering if you have any feedback for the best approach to build webi reports where end users are coming from bex reporting.
    And how to choose between prompts, drill-down (with available filters on top of the window), fold/unfold and input controls or just having diffrent levels of hierarchies in the table/ section/ breaks but without drill down (because if you drill down, report begins weird with diffrent levels) ...?
    So , if you have any feedback , advise....
    thanks in advance,

      WEBI don't replace BEX reports, is for different audience, in fact BEX is for OLAP reports and analysis.

  • ODS Setting 'Bex Reporting' on SID Generation

    Hi,
    What impact does it have on ODS during data load with regards to SIDs if
    In ODS Settings ‘Bex Reporting’ is checked.
    Thanks

    Big data load performance impact, it does create a sid for each load. If you are in 7.0, then you don't need to turn the Bex Reporting if you want to report from the ods.
    thanks.

  • ODS reporting without Bex  Reporting activated

    Hello
    As part of a review I have been doing on our current BW data loading strategy I have uncovered a number of ODS objects that have the Bex reprorting indicator active. The consequence of this is that it has a negative impact on performance when loading data into BW, particularly if we have to re-initialise the data.
    We currently do not actually report off the ODS object and from the research I have done the consensus seems to be that you should leave the bex reporting indicator turned off unless absolutely necessary and to use an infoset for reporting.
    In the coming week we will be faced with having to reload 15 millions+ records back into these ODS objects after doing a redesign so thought it a good time to untick this option.
    I should mention that we are using a BW 3.5 system.
    Any comments would be appreciated and if the preference is to use an infoset, then can someone give a practical example why you would ever want to set an ODS to allow bex reporting other than the obvious response of not wanting to create an infoset Would i be correct in stating that I wouldn't be able to use indexes to aid performance if i use infosets. I'm reluctant to pass this data into an infocube given the amount of data as it contains asset transaction postings.
    An additional side question which is more for my personal interest is whether it is true that it is not preferential to include ODS objects (or infosets) within a multiprovider given that strictly speaking the ODS object is not multi-dimensional. I recently read this in an article and had not considered this before so was wondering if it is correct.
    Thank you in advance for your responses.
    Regards
    Mark

    Hi Christoper
    Thank you for your response. You seem very passionate about not reporting on ODS objects
    What I do find interesting is that there are a number of standard content ODS objects which do have the bex reporting indicator active.
    I'm forming the view that if you do not have performance issue considerations loading data into ODS objects and you can control the amount of data selected via reporting using indexes and query restrictions etc then an ODS is still useful for reporting or alternatively the infoset option. That said, this does not apply to the ODS objects I was referring to in my main post and I will be deselecting the bex reporting indicator before re-initialising the data.
    I have always been led to believe by people who know more about BW than myself that the infocube is designed for summarised / targeted multidimensional data and that storing line item information in an infocube seems to be contrary to this position.
    Our current design approach standard in that we load data into a staging layer (Generally ODS objects, most of which do not allow bex reporting, and some of which contain line item information), then into a transformation layer (generally infocubes) and finally we report out of multi-providers in our reporting layer.
    Our general reporting strategy has been that operational style reports which would include line item reporting should be done within ECC and all other strategic, summarised reporting etc is delivered in BW.
    Regards
    Mark

  • Significance of BEx Reporting flag in ODS objects

    Hello Masters,
    I would like to know in detail, the Significance of BEx Reporting flag in ODS settings. What happens if we flag, and hat happedn when we dont ?
    If, Transaction Data is loaded into the ODS,  without loading the relevant Masterdata in advance, are SID's created, as it happens in cube ?
    IS there a connection between SID's and ODS objects ?
    best wishes,
    i BI

    Hi,
    From SAP help : With the BEx Reporting indicator, you determine whether the ODS object is immediately available for BEx queries. If the indicator is not set, no SIDs are generated for the new characteristics when the data in the ODS object is activated. This optimizes the performance of the activation process, but the ODS object is not available as an InfoProvider for queries. Turn the indicator off for all ODS objects that are only being used for further processing of data in other data targets or that are being used in InfoSets.

    Thanks
    Ooops

    Hi,
    when activating your ODS for reporting, the system will generate master data SIDs for all IObjs of your ODS.
    In other words, your ODS was prior this setting just a table with fields not usable in reporting thus not checked when loaded.
    Now the system is checking each value of the IObj and verify that it complies with the IObj rules (lower case not allowed, special characters allowed in Tx RSKC, and so on...).
    If the values are fine, the system will create this master data and corresponding SIDs for all IObjs if they aren't created yet)...
    All these checks are performed because you now want to report on this ODS, therefore the system will link your ODS table fields an their corresponding IObjs...
    I suggest to copy your ODS to another; enable the reporting flag on the copy and start loading some data from the original to the copy and escalate the several issue you will face one by one.
    Hope this helps
    Olivier.
