Open hub destination problem - .csv file is empty

Hi everyone,
I am trying to extract data from our BW system using Open Hub Dest. to a .csv file
DTP runs successfully means show total no. of records but when I see in AL11 then records are not in .csv file that is .csv file is empty.
How to figure out the problem?
Best regards
Ahmad

@Jagadeesh:
if I correctly understood you, you mean to say that first I should run DTP and save to an excel file to see if it shows data or not. This i think is not possible; as when we create OHD then 'Destination Type' we can choose among 'DB table', 'table' and 'third party tool',
so if I choose 'Table' then 'File Name' is .csv file (same name as the OHD) and can change it to .xls file
@Arun:
have permission to write in the folder
Do you mean creating OH to a Database Table?
in DTP I have a filter on a Characteristic, when its 1500 records then it works (data is in .csv file) but when 3500 records then .csv file is empty
no error message, no log
Regards
Ahmad

Open Hub Destination problem

Hi
I have created open hub destination(OHD) on a cube and then getting file in CSV format on application server.
I have to move this file to BPC but problem is wen run DTP in OHD it generated 2 files one with header and other with data
How can i make it to generate one file with header and then data in it???
How can i send this file automatically to BPC server( BPC is Microsoft version not netweaver one).

Hi Sadik
BPC is very new in market and there is not much help and yes it has base on MS SQL but thing is all data load is via CSV files only not thru direct table and stuff.
I have tried making DB connect but i m not able to make RFC connection and there is no basis support I have in my project.
I have solved my problem but there is a small stuck up. I am downloading data from internal table into file but this code is dumping file into my local machine. I want the file to be directly dumped into the application server.
Following is the code:
CALL FUNCTION 'MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT'
EXPORTING
file_name = 'C:\Test' ????????? [This is the main problem]
*file_name = 'DIR_HOME E:\usr\sap\BDV\DVEBMGS30\work\ZBPC_1000' "set this for application server location
CREATE_PIVOT = 0
DATA_SHEET_NAME = ' '
PIVOT_SHEET_NAME = ' '
PASSWORD = ' '
PASSWORD_OPTION = 0

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.

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 Destination - csv files

Hi all,
I nedd to send information through Open Hub Destination from a cube to a File in a server. But the Open Hub Destination is originating 2 csv files instead of 1: one of the files has just the name of the fields that will be in the columns and the other file only the data in the columns.
There is an alternative to generate through Open Hub Destination, only one file, with the headers in the columns?
Can you explain to me how to do it?
There are other options to generate csv files, automaticaly from cubes,and send them to other applications?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.
Elisabete Duarte

Hi,
To send information from a cube to applicatin server thru OHS,
two files will be formed while using OHS. One which will be saved inthe aplication server and for other u should give the path. For downloadin the file to the applc server, in the destination tab, select applcn server option and transform it
Hopeit helps

Open Hub Destination error

Hi,
I am working on Open Hub (first time ofcourse). And performing following steps:-
Modeling>Open Hub> InfoArea> Create Open Hub Destination> Output to File .csv. field names>DIrectory> activate> Create transformation> activate Transformations>Create DTP..Here I am getting an error that destination Open Hub is not active.
Can anyone please tell me am i missing any step here?
Thanks

Hi...
Always bear in mind that the OHD, once created, should be saved and activated, before creating any transformations or DTPs for it.
And each time the OHD is changed, all the objects corresponding to it... (The transformations and the DTPs) should be activated.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

To view the data in open hub destination

Hi all,
Can anyone help me out how to check the data in open hub destination file.
These are the details:
Destination: File
Type of file : Logical file
Application Server file name : XXXXXXX
If it was file name, i know it has to be checked in AL11 with directory name and file name.
Here its a logical file name. Which is the directory corresponding to this?
Thanks,
tinkugeo

Hi,
Question: "Are all the logical files are saved in the home directory DIR_HOME?
Please correct me if I am wrong"
Ans: When you create an Open hub destination using Physical file, the file will get created in DIR_HOME directory (by default) in AL11
And for locating the physical path in AL11. Go through the below link. it gives ans to all your ques

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.

Text Values in Open Hub Destination

Hi ,
Can anybody tell how to extract the text of particular info object using open hub destination into a file.
For ex data is loaded from sales billing cube, ship to customer code is extracted , but need ship to customer name . how to extract this in open hub destination using BI 7.
In queries , we use display key and text then get both key and text values. similar like that is it possible to get in open hub or not.
Thanks .

Hi Uppala,
Following are 2 approaches to achieve this
Approach 1:
1. Create info spoke which will extract data from cube to data base table (do not use file)
2. Create one more info spoke which will extract master data text to data base table (again do not use file)
3. Create join on both the data base tables.
4. Write a ABAP program which will create a file based on the joins of tables.
Approach 2 :
1. Create multiprovider on cube and master data info object
2. Create info spoke based on the multi provider, that will extract data to flat file
For 2nd approach u have to put certain filters to avoid unwanted rows

I have two open hub, one is fine ,but the rest one always get this error. Help..........

Thanks! I checked my ID and found that i have the role to access this folder.
Then i found that our Q system have two servers, A and B, for open hub i should run my process chain in system B, but i forgot that, so i got error. After i changed to sever B, i re-active my open hub and DTP, then re-fresh the process chain and re-executed it again, the error disappeared.

While creating the open hub destination we have option called RFC Destination(in that i have selected destination as my R/3 system).When i execute my DTP it is saying the load is successful and it is showing the no.of records transfered.
But i am not able to find where this data is getting transfered From BW cube to R/3 system using open hub.

Hi Friends,
I have one Query on WDJ. Here I have two requirements.
I have done click on u201CExport Excelu201D Button that data was download into Excel file Now my requirement is click on Save Button that file will save into (/exchange/CED) this path of R/3 System.
CED -
>is R/3 System ID
Under System id we can save this file.
Here EP Server and R/3 Servers in Diff Systems.
I was write codeing
InputStream text =      null;
     int temp = 0;
     try
     File file =      new File(wdContext.currentContextElement().getResource().getResourceName().toString());
//       String File = "abc.xls";
//       String file = "anat" + ".xls";
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("File::"+file);
     FileOutputStream op =      new FileOutputStream(file);
//       FileOutputStream op = new FileOutputStream("D://usr//sap//BPE//"+file);
//       FileOutputStream op = new FileOutputStream("D://KumarDev-BackUp//"+file);
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("op::"+op);
     if (wdContext.currentContextElement().getResource()!= null)
     text = wdContext.currentContextElement().getResource().read(false);
     while((temp=text.read())!= -1)
     op.write(temp);
     op.flush();
     op.close();

Problem in transporting Open Hub destination

Hi,
I have a open hub destination. The destination is a database table. When i try to transport the open hub destination to staging, the transport fails saying "Unable to activate table /BIC/OHXXX" . What could be the reason ?
Thanks,
Satya

Hi Satya,
I have exactly the same problem. The reason why the table could not be activated is because the referenced fields of the open hub table are wrong. Unfortunately I do not know at the moment why this is done. It would be great if could post the solution if you solved the problem. I will keep you informed...
Thanks,
Thomas

Open Hub transporting problems

Hi everybody, we have Open Hub transporting problems, it just gives us return code 12 or 8, basically, it doen't want to transport neither Open Hub Destination, nor Transformations, nor DTPs, and bear in mind that we're on the 15th Patch Level. We've looked at all the SAP Notes, but they reffer to the earlier patch levels...
And other problem, is that it's OK in DEV system but in QUALITY system, when you launch a DTP it gives us a dumb with ASSIGN_TYPE_ERROR
Any ideas??

My destination path on the DEV box is simply the following (identified by BID in the following path):
D:\usr\sap\BID\DVEBMGS00\work
And when I locate the un-activated open hub on the QA box, the BID is already changed to BIQ, but the server name box/field is empty....
I am going to try with the object changebility option, btw, is there any documentation on how to change these objects that are marked with object changebility on the QA box (provided that we can not manually change anything on the QA box)...
Anyways, I think my problem is with the server name conversion from "abc-bi-dev" to "abc-bi-qa"....!!!
Also, please note the RSBFILE entry for this object in the QA box has the "btcsrvname" as blank...
Do you think there is any additional setting that needs to be done on the QA box to do this translation (from "abc-bi-dev" to "abc-bi-qa")?
The only two setup we have done as far as the BI is concerned is at the "Tools-> Conversion of logical system name"....where you only put the conversion for client name mapping from dev to qa and local file system mapping from dev to qa.
So, is there anything else to map the host name (from "abc-bi-dev" to "abc-bi-qa") either at BI perspective or Basis/NetWeaver perspective?
Thanks a lot...

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.

Open hub error when generating file in application server

Hi, everyone.
I'm trying to execute an open hub destination that save the result as a file in the application server.
The issue is: in production environment we have two application servers, XYZ is the database server, and A01 is the application server. When I direct the open hub to save file in A01 all is working fine. But when I change to save to XYZ I´m getting the following error:
>>> Exception in Substep Start Update...
Message detail: Could not open file "path and file" on application server
Message no. RSBO214
When I use transaction AL11, I can see the file there in XYZ filesystem (with data and time correspondent to execution), but I can´t view the content and size looks like be zero.
Possible causes I already checked: authorization, disk space, SM21 logs.
We are in SAP BW 7.31 support package 6.
Any idea what could be the issue or where to look better?
Thanks and regards.
Henrique Teodoro

Hi, there.
Posting the resolution for this issue.
SAP support give directions that solved the problem. No matter in which server (XYZ or A01) I logon or start a process chains, the DTP job always runs in A01 server, and it causes an error since the directory doesn´t exist in server XYZ.
This occurs because DTP settings for background job was left blank. I follows these steps to solve the problem:
- open DTP
- go to "Settings for Batch Manager"
- in "Server/Host/Group on Which Additional Processes Should Run" I picked the desired server
- save
After that, no matter from where I start the open hub extraction, it always runs in specified server and saves the file accordingly.
Regards.
