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,
Riddhi

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.

Open Hub Destination-Third Party Tool

dear all,
can any one guide me as to how data(master data in particular) from bw can be transferred to oracle data base using open hub destiantion.is rfc connection between bw and third part tool enough,do we have to maintain the same structure in third party tool before executing DTP and how can this be done??
i am now able to transfer data from bw into a flat file and also to data base (bw) and not aware of the this functionality-third party tool .any light thrown on this area is welcome and points will be awarded ,
thanks ,

Some light at the end of tunnel for sure...
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 via 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

Populate text description in the open hub destination

Hi SDNers,
I have requirement with open hub destination, i am taking the cube data to SQL server database.
in that scenario i need text description in the cube ,but we can not see the text description data in the cube(because cube can hold dimension data and utmost navigational attributes data but no textual description).
Text data lies out side the cube but i need couples of text description for master data texts.
Do i need to write the code to populate(look-up) the text description from text table.
Can any one suggest an idea.
Thanks,
Satya

Yes, you may want to write a code on transformations from Cube to Open hub to go and get text from Text table of that Info object.
Make sure to create a new IO of lenght equal to Text field in IO and add this new IO in the Open hub and in transformations write a code at field like:
select single TXTSH from /BIC/Txxxxx into wa_text where
key_of_p_table = /bic/source_field
and langu = 'EN'
If sy-subrc = 0.
result = wa_text.
endif.
clear:wa_text

Which 3rd party tools can support Open Hub Destination?

Hi BI experts,
In the Open Hub Destination Type, I have a choice between Database Table, File or Third Party Tool. From what I read from SAP documentation, the Third Party Tool which is supported is Ascential. Apart from Ascential, what are other 3rd party Tools can Open Hub Destination link up to ?
Can Microsoft BI be linked up?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Yes, SSIS can be used with Open hub.

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)
