Open Hub Destination export to database table

Hi Experts,
I would like to create a multi source universe between SAP and non-SAP system. As we know the Jco connection to create a relational connection to access infocube data is not that great. I'm thinking or may be wrong in my approach that I would like to create a open hub destination of type database table on top of the infocube so that I'll have a new OHD table (/BIC/OH*) is created in BW database. Here comes my question that, can I query this new table in BW database via universe by creating a relational connection to the BW database server ?
Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions!
Thanks,
Abhi

Hi
I would like to create a multi-source universe between SAP and non-SAP system.
Yes...In IDT...To build a universe on SAP NetWeaver BW, you must create a multisource-enabled data foundation based on a secured relational connection to SAP NetWeaver BW. Then build the business layer on this data foundation.
I would like to create an open hub destination of type database table on top of the infocube so that I'll have a new OHD table (/BIC/OH*) is created in BW database.
Creating universe on top of OHD tables is new idea, but while creating universe in IDT, we can able to select only below info providers.
Info Object
Info Cube
DSO
Multi Providers
Virtual Info providers
So we are not able to create universe on top of OHD tables. Please find the below screenshot.
Here comes my question that, can I query this new table in BW database via universe by creating a relational connection to the BW database server ?
No.....In 4.0 IDT, OHD tables is not one of the info provider to select while creating universe. So it’s not possible.

Hi
My requirement is to use Open Hub for loading data from PSA (DataSource) --> to some BI table.
Question is: Can i make Data Source as Source of Transformation for Open Hub?
Once i try to do, i get an error of "Cannot connect DataSource to Open Hub Destination"
If we can't use Data Source as source of transformation in Open Hub, could u pls. suggest another way to fulfil my requirement. I dont want to create Infoprovider from my DataSource for Source of my Open Hub.

Hi Harpal,
You can have data source as source of your transformation for Open Hub Destination.
Just check if your data source is active in the system or not.

Open Hub Destination to Oracle database

Hello All ,
I am supposed to send data from my SAP BI (7.0) system to and Oracle Database using open hub destination. I have to use the option " Third Party " as destination while creating the Open Hub Destination .
From my reading and acc to Basis I realised that I need a 3rd party ETL tool in between BI and Oracle system to write data into the Oracle system since oracle is not SAP RFC aware . The 3rd party ETL that I am supposed to use in this is Business Objects - Data Integrator(BO-DI) . If anyone has implemented this type of Open hub service please throw some light on this issue as to how to setup the 3rd party ETL in between and how to proceed . Any how to document would also be useful .
Thanks and Regards,

Open hub destination as ECC table

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a open hub destination to an ECC table?
Can only see the option for csv, tabke and thrird party.
Thanks,
Nick.

Alright Arun,
Yeah I was thinking of that. If we have 100's of R3 tables where all the data needs extracting, then cleansing then imported to another R3 system would you consider doing this in BI or would you go R3 to R3???
Cheers,
Nick.

Help required for Creation of process chain for Open hub destination(table)

Hi Experts,
I am working on creating process chain for the open hub destination which is targeting data transfer into Table. Which is then push to SAP PI.
2.) Steps to create a process chain for OHD????? Not knowing and even after that
3.) What are the steps for Pushing it to PI (I mean we have generated client proxy also) But need to know ABAP related to trigger process chain
please need your expertise and knowledge. Well atleast with the point 2 I need BI experts help...
Regards,
[Gaurav Patwari|http://gauravpatwari.wordpress.com]

Hi Gaurav,
Creating Process chain for OHD.
1. Go to RSPC-> Create a astart variant.
2. Click on process typesin the menu. Fourth from the left. Under this go to LOAD PROCESSES AND POST PROCESSING option.
3. The fifth option is "DATA EXPORT INTO EXTERNAL SYSTEMS". Click on that.
4. Click on F4 and choose your infospoke name.
5. Press the RIGHT button.(if it asks for variant, create a new variant in the same small window besideswritting bar).
6. Join the START process and the 2nd process via dragging.
7. Now add your required other processes.
The general process chain processes are :
1. Start.
2. Delete Indexes (if data loaded to cube).
3. Load process.
4. Delete duplicate request (if it is a full load in cube).
5. Create Indexes.
Hope it helps.

Open Hub Destination Table Vs File

Hello Experts,
We have a requirement to send data from BW to 3rd party system every day. In the Open hub destination we have two options for the target.
1. Table
2. File
ETL tool like Informatica will extract the data from table or file into 3rd party sytem.
Which way is the best in performance and maintenance?
Thanks in advance
Sree

Hi,
If you follow the delta mechanism then table is good. You can also go for File not a problem. See the both eamples in the following articles.
If you use Fiels then go for Application Server option, i.e. AL11 becasue no one can change teh files in this location, you can restrict the authorizations.

Open Hub Destinations - Write directly to a table on 3rd party DB.

Hi All,
Is there way to create a table in the Non SAP system ( like 3rd party DB ) using Open Hub Destinations?
If yes what are the steps.
Thanks,

There is a 3rd party extractor to load data from BI into SQL Server (and vice versa) using Open Hub:
[ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd299430.aspx|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd299430.aspx]
Summary: This white paper demonstrates the use of the Microsoft Connector 1.0 for SAP BI in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages. It shows how to load data into SAP BI by using the SAP BI destination, how to extract data from SAP BI by using the SAP BI source, and how to prepare extracted data for analysis in SQL Server Analysis Services.

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...
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/58e1cdbed430d9e10000000a11466f/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/58e1cdbed430d9e10000000a11466f/content.htm</a>
<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.

Open Hub destinations

I am using open hub destinations to transfer the cube data into database tables in BI.During activation of open hub the database tables with names /BIC/OH* are created. I am facing problem with the reference fields associated with this table.It is taking the field name itself as the reference field for Quantity and currency fields.Suppose I have a field CRM_NETVAM in table, the reference field shown for that in table is CRM_NETVAM only.This is the problem, so it wo'nt allow us to activate the databse table and ulltimately will be cause of failure of the open hub functionality.
I need quick help for this and will give full points to anything which can help me out in solving this.

Hello,
Open hub service is to distibute data from BI system to non SAP systems. In open hub service for data export from BI system to non SAP system the central object is Infospoke and within infospoke BI Objects acts as open hub data source from which data is extracted in full and delta mode and flat files and database tables acts as open hub destinations basically the target system into which data is transferred and data can be transferred using Business Add In (BADI)

How to get relevant data for the application code?
My file format should be:
Appl.Code | Appl.Group | Market | Industry.

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.

Use of Open Hub Destination to load data into BPC

Hi Gurus,
I want to load the data from SAP BI to BPC (NW version), using Open Hub Destination. I want to know few things about this.
1) What method should I use? Should I use Destination as Flat Files or Database tables? If Database tables, how can I use this data in the tables in BPC?
2) If I go for Flat Files, which is saved in the application server of BI, how can I import those files to BPC and use it using Data Manager?
3) Also, in case of Flat Files, there are two files which are created. One is the control file and other one is the data file. How can I use both of them? Or can I just use data file without header?
Your replies will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Anjali,
I can use the standard data manager package from BI to BPC, if the CSV file is available in the BPC Server or in case if I am directly extracting from BW object, InfoObject or InfoCube.
But, since I will be using Open Hub, the output of this can be in a Database Table or a CSV file, preferably in SAP Application Server. In such cases, how can I use the Database table or CSV file in the standard Data Manager Package?
Thanks for your reply.
Abhishek

Open Hub Destination question

Hi,
We want to be able to extract data from a cube and would like to use Open Hub Destination for it. We also want to extract deltas.
The question is ..
Should we be making a single info package for this with delta capability ..
or 2 separate info packages .. 1 for full mode and another for delta mode.
Regards
Vandana

Hi,
Yes what you said it is write
from which cube do u want to retract the daat that cube will be the source
first create the open hub in RSBO tcode and
in open hub destination select aht and create the transformation between the table( to where u want to export)
then create the DTP between the cube to the table
and directly u can use the delta DTP first all the records will come and later onle delta records will be updated.

Details about open hub destination

Hi
I need to know what is the significance of these terms ,what do they actually mean while creating a open hub destination.
Destination type:
Server name :
Type of file name:
Application server filename:
Separator:

Hi,
Using Open hub services u can send the data to a third party tool, to a Table, or to a File.
Destination type means whether u want to send to File, Database Table or Third Party Tool.
If it is Third Party tool u need to specify the server name where the third party tool is there.
If u Check Application server that file will be store in the application server.
Generally file type will be Comma Seperated Variable file (.CSV)
for .CSV file data seperator will be , (Comma).
assigning points in sdn is saying thanks.
