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.

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,

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.

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

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.
Best Regards,
Bin

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

Open hub destination issue

Hi,
In our project we have Client Instance (eg: BWPD) and Application server (eg: BWPRD) defined for load balancing.
We have created open hub and assigned destination server BWPD.
When i execute the DTP manually in BWPD, it runs succesfully.
However, the same DTP when placed in the process chain fails with error message :
No Such File or Directory
Could not open file D:\usr\sap\BWPD\A01\work\Material on application server
Error while updating to target ZXXXX.
Options Tried:
Schedule process chain in the background server BWPD (same server which has been mentioned in Open hub dest) still DTP failed.
Tried with Application server it failed.
Tried with HOST as option it failed.
couldn't make out what is going wrong. Any thoughts ?
Regards.

Hi there,
found that doc quite useful.
Maybe could shed some light to your issue.
[Creating Open Hub Destination using a Logical file to extract the data|Creating Open Hub Destination using a Logical file to extract the data]
Also, what OS do you have?
is the Syntax Group accordingly created ?

I am getting an dump while executing open hub destination?

I did happened to delete a filed in the open hub and then activated and re-ran it i am getting the following error!!
error analysis
You attempted to assign a field to a typed field symbol,
but the field does not have the required type.
open hub is active, dtp is active and transformations is active too but still the same!!

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 to download the output file into R/3

Hi Guys,
             I have a requirement where i need to down load the data from my BW cube to R/3.For this i am using Open hub destination.
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();
//        path = file.getAbsolutePath();
     path =      "/exchange/CED/"+file;
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("path:"+path);
     catch(Exception ex)
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("ex.printStackTrace()");
My Req is that file will saved in this path (path =      "/exchange/CED/"+file; )

Help~open hub destination file is not open error!

Hi all,
I met a problem, i tried several times and all got error messages.
It is about open hub destination, i want to use it to send some files to sever, but when i execute the DTP, i got system dump:

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.

Open hub Destinations - Third-Party Tools As Destinations

Dear all, below is the SAP Help process flow steps. I am quiet clear of all the steps except the APIs. Where do we define these APIs? When it says "You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction" where do I use it? Is it in the 3rd party tool? or is it in SAP BI.
If it is in 3rd party tool, where in 3rd party tool. Do I need to write as code ? or would I have an option in the 3rd party tool?
If someone can help me with Microsoft connector using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages to SAP BI that would be helpful.
Where in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages can I use/put this APIs? Any help Plzz
If it is in SAP BI where in SAP BI do I have to use these APIs? Any help is highly appreciated
Regards,
KK
Process Flow:
Extraction to the third-party tool can be executed as follows:
       1.      You define an open hub destination with Third-Party Tool as the destination type.
       2.      You create an RFC destination for your third-party tool and enter it in the definition of the open hub destination.
       3.      You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction.
       4.      You either start extraction immediately or include it in a process chain. You can also start this process chain from the third-party tool using process chain API RSPC_API_CHAIN_START. The extraction process then writes the data to a database table in the BI system.
       5.      When the extraction process is finished, the system sends a notification to the third-party tool using API RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY.
       6.      The extracted data is read by API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_READ_DATA.
       7.      The status of the extraction is transferred to the monitor by API RSB_API_OHS_REQUEST_SETSTATUS.

It's been a along time since i worked with open hub, but here goes:
The Third Party tool needs parameters or switches to work correctly. Think of the old DOS commanda the "/a" "/b" suffix.
The APIs are simply a way to pass these parameters from the BW source to the Third Party target.
If your tool does not need them, don't worry about them.

Inconsistency with ZPMSENDSTATUS for Open Hub Destination

Hi Experts,
I dont know you have come accross this scenario but I will apprecaite all your advice.
We have APO 7.0 and we are using the BW component to extract data to informatica.
Our environment is as follow
SAP SCM 7.0 SP8
Informatica PWCD 8.1.6 hot fix 13
1.we have created 5 chains with similar variants for ZPMSENDSTATUS
2. Each variant relates to a folder and workflow to be executed within informatica
3. When we execute the chains only two work correctly all the time and 3 fail
the 3 that are failing are failing within the ZPMSENDSTATUS when running API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS. This is odd since the other two only differ on the workflow to be executed and obviously on the Open Hub destination. Can anyone provide some advice on this?
thanks,
Nat

Hi Maruthi,
thanks for your response but here are the details for the variants that are working and failining
working:
DEST: < here we have the RFC that relates to the logical system and the program id which is also included in saprfc.ini>
INFPARA: AERO/APO:WF_SAP_APO_PART_PLATFORM_ABP2_BGA:S_M_SAP_APO_PART_PLATFORM_ABP2
CONTEXT: OHS API
OHDEST: <OHDS defined as target>
Failing:
DEST: < here we have the RFC that relates to the logical system and the program id which is also included in saprfc.ini>
INFPARA: AERO/APO:WF_SAP_APO_PART_PLATFORM_ABP4_ATR:S_M_SAP_APO_PART_PLATFORM_ABP4
CONTEXT: OHS API
OHDEST: <OHDS defined as target>
So you see, they all target the same folder only different workflows. Still it works for the first and not for the second.

What is source system and open hub destination?

Hello,
Kindly tell me In BI data modeling workbench ,in modeling there is are two areas name as "Source system" and "Open Hub destination".What is mean by this???How we use it in BI?

Hi,
Source system as the name suggests mentions the source of data. The place from where you are extractin data to BW.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7a/27bcf087c7464db8b95eaa717b6e6a/content.htm

Multiprovider as Datasource for Open Hub Destination

Hello,
Can you pls let me know if we can used the Multiprovider as datasource for the Open Hub destination. Currently we are Bi7.0 and SP9. I am not able to see the option of Mutiprovider in the template.
Appreciate the input ASAP.
Thanks
Gopal

Multiprovider is not yet supported for Open Hub destination and hence you dont see that option.
As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s SPS 6, the open hub destination has its own maintenance interface and can be connected to the data transfer process as an independent object. As a result, all data transfer process services for the open hub destination can be used. You can now select an open hub destination as a target in a data transfer process. In this way, the data is transformed as are all other BI objects.
In addition to the InfoCube, InfoObject, and DataStore object, you can also use DataSources and InfoSources as templates for the field definitions of the open hub destination.
The open hub destination now has its own tree under Modeling in the Data Warehousing Workbench. This tree is structured by InfoAreas.
<b>Restrictions -</b>
It is not currently possible to use MultiProviders as the source for the open hub destination.
