Open hub destination & infospoke

hi experts,
what are the major differences between openhub destination & Infospoke
Thanks
Swaroop Kumar Noothi

There is no difference in both of them
both are used to transfer data to Non-application systems.
the thing is info spoke is the concept used in prior to BI 7.0 versions.

  • Data selection in new Open Hub destination Vs Infospoke

    In BW 3.5, we can use T code RSBO to create Infospoke, In the selection tab, we can use any infoobject in the source infocube as the data filterfor the infoSpoke, e.g I can set company code as 1002 etc, while in the new  BI 7.0, Open Hub Destination,  where I can achieve the same by set the filter for a specific infoobject in the source cude?

    For Open Hub in BI7 we are creating transformation and DTP. The same resrtiction you can give in DTP (activate it after change).

  • What's the difference between Infospokes and Open Hub Destination in BI 7?

    I understand the API that a 3rd party tool uses to get data our of BW using infospokes.    Is it the same API that a 3rd party tools such as MS-SSIS uses?   Supposedly  that software only communicates with an OH Destination and not Infospokes.   So apparently is does use a different API.   If that's the case, where can I find documentation on that API for OH Destintations?

    Open Hub Destination (OHD) replaced InfoSpokes as of BI 7 SPS 6, for Open Hub Service. Existing InfoSpokes can be used still, but it's recommended that any new retractions be created as an Open Hub Desitnation, because it exposes more functionality (e.g. Transformations and functionalities with DTPs).
    Here's a document on [Open Hub Service - 3rd Party Integration|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/icc/bw-ohs%20open%20hub%20service%2c%20third-party%20integration.pdf] (see Page 7). Hope this helps.

  • DTP Delta request for open hub destination.

    Hi expert,
    As you know, In BW 7.0, open hub destination is used for open hub service, and you can create tranformation/DTP for the destination. and in some case the DTP delta is enabled.
    my questions are
    1) in the context menu of open hub destination, I did not find something like manage, which could list all the DTP request executed for this open hub destination..but for normal infocube or ods, you can find a list.
    2) if the DTP could enable the delta, where can I delete the latest delta request, and have a new load..
    3) I assume the DTP could be excuted with batch integrated with process chain by process type 'DTP', right ? if the destination type is third party tool, can it also be integrated with process chain ?
    4) can give some obvious difference of InfoSpoke and open hub destination in terms of advantage and disadvantage..
    Thanks a lot for the feedback.

  • Error in Open Hub Destination Transport

    Hi All,
    I am facing the following problem in transporting the openhub destination.
    We have created a Open Hub Destination with following settings.
    Destination Type :- 'FILE'
    We have ticked the application Server name checkbox.
    In the server name we have selected our BI Development Server.
    In the type of File Name we have selected 'Logical File Name'. We have maintained the details in AL11 and FILE transactions.
    While transporting it to our Quality system, it throws an error saying it does not recognize the server name (which is true, the server name is different in quality system).
    Needed your guidance if there is any setting like source system conversion where it would change the name?
    Also if you could guide me regarding the best practices to transport the entries we have created in AL11 and FILE it would be realy nice. I did a search on this in SDN and could not find any useful stuff for my case.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Your TR is failing, may be because in your target system, application server file system is different.
    go to transaction AL11 and check that. If same folder structure is not available, get it created, or go to RSA1 and try changing your infospoke settings to point to the application sever file as in your target system.
    You have to point this path to Q server.

  • SAP BI 7.0 to SAP PI to FTP and with Open Hub Destination ...Help!!!!

    Dear SCN Experts,
    I am currently working on scenario where I have a requirement to push data from SAP BI 7.0 to SAP PI 7.
    And I am using Client proxy for SAP BI to send the data from BI tables to SAP PI and then to write to FTP address.
    Now the challenge I am facing is the ABAP Proxy how to use it with Process Chain and also I am having Open hub destination created for the same.(Specifically with the new version i.e. 7.0)
    Can you atleast make me understand what are the steps involved in this for Client Proxy, Process Chaing, How will proxy trigger and other regarding the same.
    I have searched SDN but got the document having older versions in it. Which doesn't serve the purpose.
    Regards,
    [Gaurav Patwari|http://gauravpatwari.wordpress.com]

    Hi Michal,
    Thanks for the reply buddy.
    I know that we can run the scheduled report for the proxy to fetch the report. But the client requirement is to use process chain, Open hub destination which fetches data from the ODS to Ztable created.
    We need to fetch that data from the table via our proxy. I am familiar with that report related method.
    I have one document using the same method but is using Infospoke(which is now obsolete) so have to OHD and also some of the proxy of XI's older version. So is not helping me out.
    Please do the needful. Or can you send me some sample scenario like this with screen shots. It will be a great help.
    Regards,

  • Multiple data sources to open hub destination ??

    Hi,
            Is it possible to assign multiple data sources to open hub destination?
    At present we are FTP'ing a file to users. Users need one more field added to this file. The information for this field belongs to another ODS. I  checked the infospoke but it does not accept multiple data sources.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Edited by: BI Quest on Sep 4, 2008 8:12 PM

    You can create multiple transformations for open hub destination. Create destination of open hub destination to be file on application server and then use transfer mechanism to transfer files to desired destination.

  • Open Hub Destination to Informatica

    HI All,
    I am having the following issue. We have created Open Hub Destination on InfoCube for Third Party (Informatica). But the target table is not visible in Informatica. They were able to view if created using InfoSpokes and able to extract using InfoSpokes. But when we use Open Hub Destination, they are not able to view them. We verified the RFC connection. Also triggered DTP for Open Hub Destination and it is sending data to the target teable structure.
    Please help me in this regard
    Regards
    YR

    Did you use Informatica's SAP Connector? It is a add-on and licese has to be purchased from Informatica. this will help to load delta and continuous daily load from SAP BI to target system with Informatica as ETL. InfoSpoke is a .csv file that created in a particuar folder thus Informatica able to see it.
    Thanks,

  • Open Hub Destination - SAP CRM

    Hi,
    We would like to transfer bulk data from SAP BI (Data Store Object) into SAP CRM. Performance of APD has been very poor. As an alternative, we are checking the feasibility of using InfoSpoke/Open Hub service to transfer data from data store object to ADS (analytical data store i.e. custom table in CRM).
    Has any one tried this before?
    Can we use remote database (i.e. not SAP BI) in open hub destination?
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    Yes I have used Info Spoke/Open Hub service to transfer data from my SAP BI to other Sap system.
    We have a process chain which has start node and 3 parallel node extracting data from 3 different ODS.
    All 3 nodes are connected to a AND node , after then there is a programmer  (Unix script) which has does FTP, Abap program can also be used for this.
    While doing FTP , give destination address CRM system.
    I am sure this will work.

  • Open Hub Destination with Flat File - Structure file is not correct

    Using the new concept for Open Hub destination (NOT an InfoSpoke).
    Output is to a Flat File. Remember that when output is to a flat file 2 files are generated: the output file and a structure file (S_<name of output file>.CSV)
    The Output file structure corresponds to the structure defined in the Open Hub destination.
    However, the S_ (structure) file does not reflect the proper structure. The S_ file lists all fields sorted in alphabetical order based on the field name, instead of listing all fields in the correct order that they appear in the output file.
    I have not found any settings that I can modify for the S_ file. When using InfoSpokes the S_ file is correct and I do not have to do anything.
    The issue is that the S_ file cannot be used to describe the output file. This is a problem.
    Anyone knows a solution to this issue? The goal is to get the S_ file to reflect the proper structure.
    I could not find any Notes on this. Please do not send general help links, this is a specific question.
    Thank you all for your support.

    Hi,
    However, the S_ (structure) file does not reflect the proper structure. The S_ file lists all fields sorted in alphabetical order based on the field name, instead of listing all fields in the correct order that they appear in the output file.
    As I know and checked this is not the case. The S_ file has the fields in the order of infospoke object sequence ( and in transformation tab, source structure).
    I would suggest you to control it again.

  • 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.
    Hope it Helps

  • 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)

  • Hierarchy Extraction using Open hub Destination

    Hi,
    I need to extract hierarchy data for Application code(YAPPLCD) using OHD. In the Hierarchy there are 4 components(Industry, Market, Application Group and Application Code). i need to get all the 3 details for the Application Code(i.e to which Indusrty does it belong, Market and Application Group).But HIerarchy table is having one record for each apllication code, Market, Application Group, Application code.
    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.
