ODS reports Vs Cube reports

Hi,
Pl let me know the advantages or disadvantages of reporting on ODS Vs Cube. Which one will be better option and why.
Pl explain.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijaya

hi vijaya,
INFO CUBE
summerised form of data
star schema
dimentional
additive data functionality
performance is better as compared to ods
DSO
detailed form of data
flat file formate structure
two dimentional
performance is less as compared to cube
overwrite data functionality
obviously INFO CUBE reporting is more advantageous coz, we can go for dimensional reporting . DSO is only for data staging and cleansing the data purposes. if you are using BI 7.0 better create MULTI PROVIDER even if you are using single info cube coz, thats a gud practice.
plz assign points if it helpful

  • ODS VS Cube Reporting.

    Hi,
    I need to report on Transactional Data which is from Flat File.
    I intend to load to ODS and Report on it.
    Later if need be i can create Infocube depending on reporting requirement.
    Is this ok?
    Moreover what difference i see in reporting if i use ODS instead of Infocube?
    i.e Any advantage of using Infocube instead of ODS in prespective of Reporting Output?
    Thanks and Regards,
    MuraliManohar.

    Hi,
    For simple Flat File data you can go either DSO or CUbe it is not a problem, in DSO you can't create a dimenstions , but in Cube you can create upto 13 dimensions and you can analyse the report in Multidimensional way in Cube reporting.
    For simple flat reporting you can for DSO, it is very fast because it is like TWO demenstional Table.
    Thanks

    Hi Rajiv,
    I assume you are in 7.0. For this kind of formatting u need to use report designer.
    in 3.5 there was an option called table view which is not supported in 7.0

  • 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.

  • Can we Report BW Cube using Cognos Fornt End tools

    Hello, Experts.
    We need some inputs on how to Report BW cubes using COGNOS front end tools.  
    is this possible?
    do we need to develop new cubes out in cognos again for making reports?
    and in BW cube some attributes of material are not navigational if we go to cognos  can we use this attributs for drill down or filtering?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Bharath.

    i am currently working on bi 7 with cognos 8.2 and go live very soon
    - best approach is to use query as datasource for cognos (cognos consultants agree)
    .......without query as datasource, cognos cannot see any reusable objects.
    - If i recall, cognos can leverage attributes as navigational even if bw does not have them set that way.
    - one downside is that you need to make sure all your rkf descriptions are locked down 100% because cognos uses the description in their xml definitions.
    - Make sure you have an experience cognos framework modeler that knows ins and out and does not use simple wizards.  same happened to us and lots of settings occured very late and slowed project.
    reach out to me via my profile and i can give you pointers.

    bye

    COPA Infocube exist with data. Client is keen to compare the COPA data only with BCS data.
    COPA data has company code and costing based COPA model strucutre.
    This is being compared with BCS Item to derive the differences since  auditer beleives there is a difference between the COPA report and BCS report. Ofcourse this is a mindset which causes to have a concern like this.
    They donot want to compare to any other cubes.
    My thought is to data mart the copa data and using transfer rules map the copa keyfigure to items in a staging  cube. Can we map the keyfigure to charecteristic master data in the data model and compare the similar data.
    Please let me know any suggestions on this.

  • Issue with OLAB Cube Reports. Database Server in VPC Private Subnet

    Hi,
    Environment:
    Deployed Project Server 2010 with 2 server Architecture( 1 for Web/Front end server and 1 for DB Server) on Amazon VPC. Web server is on Public subnet and Database server is on
    Private subnet.   
    Issue:
    We have sucessfully configured OLAP Cubes and able to view reports within the app server. But when we try to access the same reports over the internet site and outside of cloud domain, excel is not able to connect DB server using .odc connection and Pivot
    tables or data are not loading.
    Solutions tried:
    Opened all necessary ports in DB server for SQL Server-1433, Analysisc Service-2383 & 2382 and Browser Service - 1434. But still no luck.
    So with this setup of Project Server, is it possible to access OLAP Cube reports out side of Cloud newtwork? If yes, how can we make this work?
    Regards,
    Ram
    Thanks, Ram

    Hi Ram,
    I am not sure if it will work then as the client machine will try to find the Analysis Services(AS) server which is not available over the internet. You can try to open the needed ports through the firewall and configure a subdomain to point to your AS and
    this should be available over the internet (e.g. analysisServices.domain.com). However, this is a potential security breach and may be not be allowed by your company policies.
    However, I would go with the option I mentioned in my previous answer as this way the users can run the reports and the reports can be configured using that cloud machine
    Hope this helps

  • How to use ODS As-Built Summary Report

    Hi,
    I am trying to use ODS As-Built Summary Report.
    Then, first of all, it tries to configure Audit Log.
    2.1.1 of ODSRG_SAPME_52_FINAL.pdf In Configuring the Audit Log, there is the following descriptions.
       You can configure an objectu2019s audit log by selecting one of the following in the EJBDefBundle.properties file:

    Please teach if you know the preservation place of EJBDefBundle.properties file.
    Am I misunderstanding the preparation to use ODS As-Built Summary Report?
    Please teach a correct way if it is so.
    thanks

    Hi Yousuke
    Looks like the document is a little bit outdated.
    Audit Log is configured in System Setup activity under Maintenance->System Configuration. There is an Audit Log tab where you can set values Off, All or Current for various object.
    Fo more details refer to the [Changing System Setup Settings|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_me52/helpdata/en/56/bf997e76dd42afa29d24d92c2d6853/frameset.htm] page in SAP Online Help for ME

  • CUBE reporting; step-by-step guide required

    Hi,
    I'm new to Oracle and have been assigned the job to create a CUBE reporting tool for an financial application. I have two questions;
    1. On server side; what am I required to do? The database is fairly complex (fully normalized), I have read a few articles on creating dimensions, creating new databases etc. Can anyone suggest the best approach and/or point me to a tutorial on the process of this and the tools required.
    2. We're wanting a customizable interface reporting tool, we're using ASP.Net, does anyone know of a good tool for this (in relation to question 1).

    You mean an n-dimensional OLAP cube and not the CUBE() analytic function? Well, I would suggest you want to be using teh built-in functionality rather rolling your own, so the best place to start is the documentation. Note that OLAP is only available with the Enterprise licence.
    Cheers, APC

  • Which is Better?: Add to multiprovider; Create new ODS; Create new Cube

    Which is a better choice:
    Add to multiprovider; create additional ODS; create additional Cube?
    I have this data flow: 5 ODSes which are aggregated into a single Cube1. A multiprovider then sits on the Cube1. I run Report1 against the multiprovider and from the output, I want to jump (through a jump query) to a much more detailed report.
    (information from the different 5 ODSes will be coming together to make a meaning record in the detailed report)
    Which of these will be the best modeling approach at this point:
    1. Bring in all the detail level information in the 5 ODSes into the multiprovider and create the detail report (against the multiprovider).
    2. Create a new ODS and bring in all the detail information from the 5 ODSes into this new ODS_6 and create the detail report against this newly combined ODS_6?
    3. Create new Cube2 and bring in all the detail information from the 5 ODSes into this single cube and create the detail report against this newly combined Cube? i.e. without bringing Cube 2 in the multiprovider.
    a) Which of these options is the typical thing to do?
    b) From performance point of view, which one is better? Any reasons?
    c) Do you have a better recommendation to get my report based on the original multiprovider; as well as get the detail (through the jump query)?
    Thanks

    Everything is based on how much data you are reading.
    Remember: the first and second options are slower because even if you are creating query against the Multiprovider in the first option, both options read directly from the ODS. Technically, ods is not optimized for reporting (reading). ODS is just like a normal relational database table, unless you use the key to read data from, it is very slow (everything  is not indexed).
    Option 3, is much better in respect of design and performance. Reason, cube support multidimensional analysis, where all char is related with SID which is being generated automatically which increases performance.
    My recommendation:
    Create another ods (combine all the other ODSes) just like you did in option two, and push summarized data in the cube and detail data in this ods. Write a report again the cube when needed jump to the ods.
    Hope that helps.
    thanks.

  • Join two ODS into one cube!

    Hello Experts -
    I need to join fields of 2 ODS into one cube. I know the common field. We are in BI 7.0.
    Can someone guide me through the steps?
    I know there are two transformation rules. And I have created them. How do I link them so that I have one record when the common field matches?

    Syed!!!
    What your are trying is very complicated, if you want to do infoset that even worst, not only data wise, but only performance. If you are planning to get key figure only from one ods and only characteristics coming from different ods, infoset might work as long as you know the relationship (one-to-one relationship will work fine in infoset). Performance wise, MP is very good, but the question again, you will get multiple lines unlike infoset.
    So before, someone decided to use infoset, MP or even some other data model, they need to know well the reporting requirement and well divers in the relationship of the ods.
    I have faced the same situation in many of my projects, there are places I used infoset and MP, and also created a different infoobject as a master data and turned the attributes as NAV. Attribute.
    Thanks.

  • Error In ECC For Crystal Report Containing Sub-Report Link

    Hi,
    We are using Crystal Reports 2013. We extracted a Crystal Report from SAP ECC to modify it further utilizing the features of Crystal and export it back to SAP ECC.
    The updated Crystal Report has a Sub-Report link within it, while exporting it back to SAP ECC, we get the attached error message as "layout.subreport should not contain any data connections".
    However, on removing the Sub-Report link, the report can be successfully exported back to ECC and executes without any issues.
    Is there any limitation on features to be used when exporting Crystal Reports to ECC?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Mitalee

  • How to convert Report Model to Report Designer DataSet

    To all,
    I have a two part question. One is I am experiencing the error at the end of this question when migrating SQL Server 2005 SSRS Native Reports, the report uses a Report Model, to SQL Server 2008 SSRS Native. I bring the Report and Report Model to SQL Server 2008 SSRS and get the error at the end of the question below. Background and the 2nd question are below.
    I have a bunch of Report Builder based Reports. I need to convert them to VS BIDS based Report Designer Reports with Shared Datasources and MDX based DataSets.
    How can I grab the MDX from the Report Builder Report Model so I can put it into the Report Designer DataSet Query Definition?
    What is the easiest way to make this migration between these Report development environments.
    I am able to open the Report.RDL file in VS BIDS and can see the entire UI layer. The DataSet I see here is the one that is related to the error at the end of the question. The RD/DataSet holds:

    I have created a Shared Datasource that points the the correct Analysis Services cubes that the original Report Model pointed at.
    However, I get this error when running the report:
    An error occurred during client rendering.
    An error has occurred during report processing.
    Semantic query compilation failed: e EmptySemanticQuery The SemanticQuery does not contain any Groupings or MeasureGroups. SemanticQuery must contain at least one of these elements. (SemanticQuery '').

    Actually the error above is from running the report on SSRS 2008 Native. Does anyone know why I get this error and how it may be resolved.
    Then I try to bring the report into BIDS RD and create a SDS and DataSet. The Semantic Query above is from the RD DataSet Query window.
    I get the following error when running the report in BIDS RD:
    An error occured during local processing.
    An error has occured during report processing.
    Query execution failed for dataset 'dataSet'.
    The SemanticQuery element at line 7, column 351 (namespace http://schema.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/10semanticmodeling) cannot appear under Envelope/Body/Execute/Command.
    So I have two errors with two scenarios. I'd like to know how to resolve one of them.
    I'd also like to know how to get the MDX from the RB/RM report so I can put it into the VS BIDS Version and get that to work properly.
    Thanks,
    Eric
