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!

  • How to activate Open Hub in closed system

    Hello friends
    Do you know any ABAP Program, Function Module or any other way to activate Open Hub Destination in closed system (i.e. QA)?

    Hi,
    I suggest to change the object changeability in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
    T/code RSA1
    Go to the Transport Connection perspective
    Then click on push button Object Changeability
    Here you can find object type DEST (Open Hub Destination). Please change the setting by right clicking, choose Switch Changeability.
    Now you will be able to activate the Open Hub Destination w/o having to open the system.
    Please refer also to SAP Note 337950 - Queries (including objects) cannot be edited.

  • Open Hub Destination - Hierarchies

    Hi all,
       We have a Open Hub that is based on the InfoCube FGL_CIFRS ie FGL Transaction Figures.We are exporting the Infocube data on to a Flat File . This Cube is built on Infoobjects like 0GL_ACCOUNT, 0PROFIT_CTR etc.
       We also have Individual Hierarchies on 0GL_ACCOUNT,0PROFIT_CTR. We have a program Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD that can be used to export the respective individual Hierarchy Data to a Flat File .
      We are now looking for a logic/Routine in the DTP for Open Hub so that we can combine these two things ie hierarchy selection screen( the output Screen we can have after execting program  Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD ) for the Objects is also available after  the Filtering option for DTP .The Result.. Flat file containing the Infocube Data as well as the Hierarchy data for the given selections.
      Can this be Possible ?? Is there any other way we can think about this.Any light thrown on this is welcome.Promise to award points for right answers,
    Regards,

    If not, any smart workaraounds?
    best regards

    Good Morning Gueorgui.
    I am not using FISCPER, but posting date, so fiscvar should not be necessary.
    But is it possible to use a variable  like in BEX queries.  Like 0DAT or some Zvariable.
    In general OLAP variable in DTP.

  • Open Hub or SOA

    I need to move data from BW to R/3.  What is the best way to move data, open hub, SOA or ???
    I know there are services that can run queries.  I was thinking of a BADI that could call a service on BI and run a query to gather data.  I have not worked with open hub much.  What are your thoughts?
    thank you,
    Aaron

    Hi Aaron,
    As per my understanding the best way to transfer the data in bulk volume is Through open hub or Through any Badi which picks the data .
    I don have much idea about SOA,But through open hubs its very easy to transfer the data in bulk volume with good performance.
    Thanks,
    Ashok

  • 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

    Ajinkya

  • APD vs Open Hub

    Hi,
    For generating a flat file from a Infocube, which process is better among an APD and an Open Hub Destination in terms of both performance and handling large volume of data
    Thanks
    Rashmi.

    OPen hub destination is anew feature in BI 7.o . i don't think it will affect any performance issues.
    If get the requirement i will use open hub destination instaed of APD as Open hub is eaiset way with simple steps.
    APD is more for analysis of two queries or sending data to external systems. we used APD for sending data to EDI clients
    Hope this helps.

  • Error while assigning constant to infoobject in open hub transformation

    While assigning constants(in rule details) to infoobject in a transformation in a open hub I am getting an error "The Object Name is not allowed to be empty"
    Can anyone tell my why this is happening? What should I do now?

    Hi,
    In the transformation, have you connected that rule to any target field of your destination? If not, then do that and then try to create the routine.

  • Open Hub: How-to doc "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical File"

    Hi all,
    We are using open hub to download transaction files from infocubes to application server, and would like to have filename which is dynamic based period and year, i.e. period and year of the transaction data to be downloaded. 
    I understand we could use logical file for this purpose.  However we are not sure how to have the period and year to be dynamically derived in filename.
    I have read in sdn a number of posted messages on a similar topic and many have suggested a 'How-to' paper titled "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical Filename".  However i could not seem to be able to get document from the link given. 
    Just wonder if anyone has the correct or latest link to the document, or would appreciate if you could share the document with all in sdn if you have a copy.
    Many thanks and best regards,
    Victoria

    Hi,
    After creating open hub press F1 in Application server file name text box from the help window there u Click on Maintain 'Client independent file names and file paths'  then u will be taken to the Implementation guide screen > click on Cross client maintanance of file name > create a logical file path by clicking on new entiries > after creating logical file path now go to Logical file name definition there give your Logical file , name , physical file (ur file name followed by month or year what ever is applicable (press f1 for more info)) , data format (ASC) , application area (BW) and logical path (choose from F4 selection which u have created first), now goto Assignment of  physical path to logical path > give syntax group >physical path is the path u gave at logical file name definition.
    however we have created a logical path file name to identify the file by sys date but ur requirement seems to be of dynamic date of tranaction data...may u can achieve this by creating a variable. U can see the help from F1 that would be of much help to u. All the above steps i have explained will help u create a dynamic logical file.
    hope this helps u to some extent.

  • UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION while executing Open Hub

    Hi All,
    I have created Open hub destination in BI 7.0 on one custom cube. I am trying to create file on application server using this open hub. I have also created logical filename etc..
    When I ran the DTP for this open hub, I am getting following error:
    Runtime Errors UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
    Except. CX_RSB_WRITE_ERROR
    This was running fine on DEV and QA system but giving this error in PRD.
    Any clue about this error?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    it seems the logical path for logical filename is not correct. Could you please check it in t-code FILE?

  • 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

  • How to delete the Generated files from application server(open hub)?

    hi experts,
    when i try to execute process chain the DTP it is giving below dump. Exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED logged.
    when i execute the DTP manually and trying to delete the previous request, it is giving for dump ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY.
    so to delete the generated file from application server, how to delete it for specific dates?
    Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" - in
    "START_ROUTINE".
    The main program was "RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 2874
    of the (Include) program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM".
    The program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" was started as a background job.
    and when i check the dump it is point out at below code
    " Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
    SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC
    into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
    STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
    but the programme is syntactically correct only.
    how to rectify the issue.

    hi experts,
    We have written start routine to get the storage location text and sending to File located at Application server through OPEN HUB.
    here is the code written in the Transformations
    In the global section
    Text for 0STOR_LOC
        DATA: l_0stor_loc_text TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /bi0/tstor_loc
              WITH UNIQUE KEY stor_loc.
        DATA: l_0stor_loc_text_wa TYPE /bi0/tstor_loc.
    and in the code to get the text
    " Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
        *SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC*
          into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
          FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
                  STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
    im sure there is problem with the Routine only. i think i need to change the code if so please provide me the modified one.
    thanks
