Open Hub For BPC Cubes

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue about the open hubs for BPC cubes. I have a need to take my transactional data from my BPC cube to a table.So I want to create an open hub on my BPC planning cube.
But when i create the open hub on BPC cube, it doesn't read the package. So, data cannot be read. But the open hubs work on my BW cubes.
Is there anything i should do different for BPC cubes ? How can i make the open hub work?
Thanks in advance..
Fatih

Hi Fatih,
Glad you got this working, but a word of warning: As far as I am aware, customer SAP BW development linked to objects in the BPC namespace is not supported. It may very well work, but BPC may also delete and recreate BW objects at any time and without warning, which can leave you in a situation in your production environment that is very difficult to recover from without manual modification of the production BW environment.
The recommended way to export data from BPC NW into a flat table is to use the BPC data manager Export package. You may want to try this option and see if you can meet your requirements this way.

Open hub for PSA to Database Table...

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.
Thanks

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.

Deleting DTP based on Open Hub and Remote Cube

Hi All,
i have created a DTP delta for my Open Hub to load a flat file from a remote cube.
i have done some load test request but it doesn't work (no data in my file .csv), i have created another full DTP with others parameters and it works successfully.
now i want to delete my Delta DTP but the system return me a message like this:
DTP_4IDT4BXV29E1N0MWINKCWO60B cannot be deleted at the moment (see long text)
and in the long text i have:
Message no. RSBK037
Diagnosis
You want to delete a delta DTP that has been successfully used to load requests from the source into the target. If you delete the DTP, you will also delete the information on the source data that was successfully transferred. As a result the source data would be transferred again, if you create a new delta DTP that links the same source with the same target.
System Response
The system terminated the delete operation.
Procedure
You have two options:
1. Delete all the requests loaded with this DTP from the target and then delete the DTP.
2. Do not delete the DTP and continue to load deltas using this DTP.
i tried to see the requests loaded with the delta dtp and i have deleted one but there are another requests that i can't deleted.
i have deleted the delta dtp from my transport request.
how should i do to delete definitivily my delta dtp?
thanks for your help
Bilal

Do not delete entries out of table RSBKREQUEST.
To delete your DTP, you may use program RSBKDTPDELETE. Give the technical id of the DTP as the input parameter.

Open hub for Inventory data

Experts,
We have a requirement where we need to push out Inventory data from BW to third party systems.
We have a daily cube and monthly snapshot cube implemented.
Now, there are fields that the third party systems require including Movement type. There are 500K movements everyday so putting this field in the cube would make the cube huge. Can we have another DSO loaded only by 2LIS_03_BF that supplies data to the third party systems via Open Hub in addition to the model we currently have?
Would this be a good design or rather would it work(in theory)??

Hi,
Yes you are thinking in correct direction. Adding movement type to cube will unneccessarily increase the data volume.
Cubes are not meant for detailed data.
I would suggest to go ahead with the DSO approach. The open hub will work with DSO.

Geetanjali

Opening stock for inventory cube for april 2011

Hi all,
I have loaded the issues and reciepts (material movements from 2li_03_bx) and it is working fine.
How to obtain the opening balance for 04.2011
I can see there is on key figure 0valstkvalue which is non cumulative key figure which stores the last value.
if use the key figure and use an offset based upon the calendar year month i will obtain the closing balance of 03.2011 which is the opening balance of 04.2011.
but then last month 03.2011 only contains issues and receipts and it doesnt contain the opening balance
i will given an example
opening balance 04.2011 ( to be obtained)
issues : 120
receipts : 130
closing without opening is 10
month of 03.2011
issues : 150
receipts : 200
closing is 50 without opening
if i use the ovalstk value key figure i am getting only 50 as closing balance which is wrong as per the user
can you pls advise how to get the correct opening balance for 04.2011
thanks

Hi murali,
My earlier month thats is 03.2011
will contain only
issues and reciepts isnt it . and it doesnt contain opening balance isnt it???
so only issues - receipts will give the closing balance
for eg 03.2011
issues = 100
receipts = 120
closing balance = 20 but the users data is 40 is the closing balance since opening balance is 20 for 03.2011
Can you pls let me know how to handle it geting closing balance 20 plus adding the opening balance of 03.2011 too
which gives 40 as closing balance for 03.2011
thanks

Open Hub queries

Hallo Experts,
I would like to get some help on questions related to Open Hub for BW30.
May I know:
1. From the OpenHub Model (Execution-Time), the Data Packages are IN & OUT. Are these what are referred to as Structures /BIC/CY<> and /BIC/CZ<> ?
2. What is the practical way commonly used to manage the flatfiles for Open Hub given that names cannot be changed.
3. What situation will cause the fields of an infoprovider to not appear in the Selection tab of infospoke? I cannot see the fields nor set them there.
4. Can DBConnect be used to transfer OpenHub table to external DW/Datamarts?
regards,
Mirella

Hi, Michael -
I apologize for taking so long to respond - I hadn't bothered to check if there was a response. I believe your question is asking the difference between the solution to use literal filename vs. logical. If this is the question, the difference is that the literal filename will open up the file name/path parameter on the infospoke screen and allow a user to directly specify a custom entry rather than the alternative to set it up using tables. I originally started by implementing the logical filename/path;however, my client did not want to have to maintain the table which required user access. I hope that answers your questions - feel free to contact me if you have further questions/comments Thanks!

Importing table using Open Hub - (BODI - 1112339)

We could connect to the open hub for SAP BW 7.0 hosted in a remote server . Then tried to import the tables created there. However it stops us with:
" Error: Cannot import the metadata table xxxx.
Parser detected an unknown data type. Please notify Customer Support. (BODI - 1112339)."
Have you any idea why it's happening?
Thank you.

Open Hub not extracting all data in CUBE

We created an FI-SL cube and use the OPEN HUB process to extract the current value of accounts. The problem is that not all the data is being extracted.
I have a couple of examples where some of the data in the CUBE is not being extracted by the OPEN HUB process. I have checked the filter and it is setup properly. I have manually validated the data in the CUBE.
It is very strange that the data is in the CUBE correctly, but just being extracted.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill Lomeli

Ashok,
This is the first time I have seen a comment about the field limitation.
+ A previous message from Deepak Simon states:
"I want to extract data from a cube with more than 16 fields."+
We are using BI 7.0...is that restriction still in place for this version?
Thanks,
Bill

Delete data from Cube which is uploaded to Open hub

Hello Friends I am required to delete the data from GL Cube, But it is connected to 2 Open Hub
which has one as table /BIC/OHZZIGL_C10 defined in Open hub destination. I deleted the data from this table in SE14, but still when I try to delete the data from cube it throws the below error
Please help me how to now delete the data from cube, when should i go in open hub t delete all the uploaded requests.
Request 1.882 already updated in target 3.913 by DTP request DTPR_4CU6JHRJ7MY889A7XBUJ0GDVK(ZZIGL_C10)
Thanks
soniya

just check on your datamart status for that request. Go to the manage screen of your infocube and check where all that request got updated using datamart status.

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.

Cube to Open Hub DB destination - Aggregation of records

Hi Folks,
I am puzzled with BW 7.0 open hub DB destination in regards to aggregation.
In BW 3.5 open hub DB destination I got from the cube already aggregated records depending what which fields I select. E.g. cube has cal week/ cal month but in infospoke only cal month selected I get only one record per month (not several ones -> one for each week of the month).
In BW 7.0 open hub destination it seems to be different. Although Cal Week is not used in any transformation rule and not part of the destination defintion I still get all weeks of the month as single records. In theory not a problem if the records would be aggregated according the sematic key of the open hub destination db. But here an error is issues -> duplicated record short dump.
So do I get it right that with BW 7.0 record aggregation e.g. Cal Week / Month ---> Cal Month is not possible at all? Or do I something wrong?
Will need to have an intermediate DSO in between or is there another way to get teh aggregation for open hub "direclty" working?
This is quite a shortcoming of the open hub. Not mentioning the non-availability of nav_attributes + source only from cubes not from multiproviders ... seems that the open hub in BW 7.0 got worse compared to BW 3.5
Thanks for all replies in advance,
Axel

Hi Axel,
We can use 0CALMONTH in open hub destination. In BI 7.0 we can not extract data from Multi Provider using Open Hub.
But in BW 7.30 we have this functionality( using DTP we can extract data from multi provider to OHD).
No need to use intermediate DSO, we can extract data directly from Info Cube.
Please check the below documents.

Unable to delete a request from a Cube which is loaded by Open hub to flat

Hi,
We have one Cube from which we are transferring data to a flat file by open hub.
the DTP for the OPEN HUB is delta DTP.
Now when i am trying to delete a request from Cube its not allowing me.
Its giving error as request is already updated to the target so delete the request from target first.
I tried deleting the open hub request entry from RSBKREQUEST table.
but still its not deleting the request from the Cube.
Can you please help me in solving this problem.
Thanks in Advance,

I think request is having datamart, which is not allowing it to delete.
You can try to reset (delete) the datamart by clicking on it in cube request and then try to delete.
Or if it does not work, you can delete it from RSICCONT table, which will delete the request from cube also.

Hi all
I am trying to extract data from the cube thru an open hub, but the data which i have extracted, for a cost center i am able to see '0's which is expected to be an empty space, even in cube there is an empty space.
Can anyone suggest me quickly, points will be rewarded

In the transformation of the Open Hub,use BAPI....
Create a target structure with all fields as type characters,move data from source structure to target structure in the BAPI using ABAP codes.When there is no value in character fields it would not show up 0's.

Open hub service - Cube as source system

Dear gurus,
i am new to open hub concept.
i need to transfer values from my query to a custom table in R/3.
im using bi7.
Questions:
1) i guess pen hub is my solution. is it correct?
2) do i have to transfer values from my cube or can i send values from my query too?
3) i have created openhub service under modelling tab, i have selected target type as TAB. it says database table /BIC/OHZTABLO.
is it correct?
4) then i am trying to create Transformation from open hub ZTABLO to/ BIC/OHZTABLO. ?
in that case it shows that transformation target is DEST- ZTABLO? i mean open hub service is my destination? then what is the source?i am confused in that point.
5) Thanks all!

1) i guess pen hub is my solution. is it correct?
->If u want to transfer dat from yr query then APD (analysis Process designer) will be the best bet to go for. Create APD and schedule it in process chain
2) do i have to transfer values from my cube or can i send values from my query too?
->Using OH(open hub) you have to use Cube as a source,,,you cant use query then.
3) i have created openhub service under modelling tab, i have selected target type as TAB. it says database table /BIC/OHZTABLO.
->ya,correct,there are two ways to do that,,,either u send the cube data to a open hub table(as its happening in yr case) or send it to application server/flat file
is it correct?
--> yes
4) then i am trying to create Transformation from open hub ZTABLO to/ BIC/OHZTABLO. ?
in that case it shows that transformation target is DEST- ZTABLO? i mean open hub service is my destination? then what is the source?i am confused in that point.
---> yr source is InfoCube and target is Open hub table /BIC/OHZTABLO
5) Thanks all!
Than you.
