Open Hub Vs Infospoke

Hi All,
In BW 7 We are using Open Hub & previously using Infospoke in BW 3.5. My question is in infospoke we have the flexibility of using BADI but in Open Hub we dont have that option. can we still use infospoke instead of Open HUB. Are there any advantages of open hub over infospoke.
Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi,
The open hub service enables you to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, you can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for the export of data is the InfoSpoke. Using this, you can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred.
Through the open hub service, SAP BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the distribution status in the BW system.
Functions
BW objects such as InfoCubes, ODS objects, or InfoObjects (attributes or texts) can act as open hub data sources. You can select database tables or flat files as open hub destinations. Both a full and a delta mode are also available as the extraction mode.
Components of the Open Hub Service
The open hub service is made up of the following objects:
InfoSpoke
The central object for the data export is the InfoSpoke.
The InfoSpoke defines the following:
u2022 The open hub data source from which the data is extracted
u2022 The extraction mode
u2022 The open hub destination into which the data is delivered.
In addition, you can also select which data selection is to be extracted from which InfoProviders. This selection ensures that a destination for different points in time from the same InfoProvider can be supplied with data for different selection criteria using a delta. The selection set is freely configurable as long as extraction has not taken place in the delta mode. Once it has, this no longer applies.
Open Hub Data Source
BW objects such as InfoCubes, ODS objects, MultiProviders and MultiProviders and InfoObjects (attributes or texts) can function as open hub data sources. If you use an InfoCube with non-cumulative key figures as a data source, refer to the note regarding the settings on the Selection tab page in Creating InfoSpokes.
Extraction Mode
An InfoSpoke can extract data in two ways: in full mode (F) and in delta mode (D). See InfoSpoke Extraction Mode.
Open Hub Destination
Database tables (from the database in the BW system) and flat files (CSV) can act as open hub destinations. See also Extraction to Database Tables and Extraction to Flat Files. You can extract the data from a database to a non-SAP system using APIs with a third-party tool. See also Extraction to Non-SAP Systems.
The open hub destination includes all information about a target system for the InfoProvider data: type of destination, name of the flat file or the database table. It also contains a logical target system. The logical target system is used to structure the individual open hub destinations in the open hub monitor. The open hub monitor groups the requests according to logical target system, open hub destination and InfoSpoke. By specifying a logical target system, you get a better overview of the individual open hub requests.

Master Data Extraction through Open Hub services(InfoSpoke)

Hello,
I need your help on this issue,
Here is my scenario...
I want to extract Master data from BW (Info Object) as a file and put it in a server then later that can be picked up by some other deprtment for their process. This process has to be automated to run on a weekly basis.
I know this can be done through a InfoSpoke(either ATTR or Text) and Process Chain but I want both attributes & text data in a single file because through InfoSpoke we can get either ATTR or TEXT data in a file.
1)Is there any way we can have both TEXT and ATTRIBUTEs data in a single file.
2) Also what are the options to transfer the file from a BW app server into another non-BW server?
Currenty I created a BEx query against a InfoObject, ruuning a report and sending them the file manually. I want to automate the process.
I would appreciate if you could give me input on the above.
Thanks
BI Consultant

Hi,
The simpleset way to do is to create a ODS with the required columns and map it to your TEXT and ATTR. Then you could use either a Query or a Info Spoke to extract data how ever you want it. Since you are using master data it would have been validated, so you don't need to use a reportable ODS, which takes time to activate the data. So create a info set on top of the ODS and do a simple query if you want to use it. If you want to automate completely and deliver the output as .CSV file to the destination server you may have to do little bit more and that will involve some serious ABAP work. The simpleset would be have a ODS 'Non reportable' and extract the data using info spoke.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks,
Alex.

Open hub and Infospokes

Hi ,
can anyone explain me the selection parameters of infospoke in production system .
is there any FM developed by SAP ??
please let me know how can i proceed
Maid

Hi
You can do that in ABAP code but i am not sure if there is any FM related to it
Step1
Create a TVARV variable similar to the selection parameter of your Info Spoke.
Step2
Code an ABAP program so as to pick the value of the TVARV variable and change the values of the parameter in the table RSBSPOKESELSET. This is the table which stores the selection set based on which you want to restrict your results.
Step3
Once you execute the program, the selection parameters would be changed.
Step4
Now, you execute your Info Spoke. It would have the new selections maintained by you in the TVARV variable.
Try this and do let me know

Open hub destination & infospoke

hi experts,
what are the major differences between openhub destination & Infospoke
Thanks
Swaroop Kumar Noothi

There is no difference in both of them
both are used to transfer data to Non-application systems.
the thing is info spoke is the concept used in prior to BI 7.0 versions.

Open Hub & flat file

Hi All,
How to perform flat file expatriations from BW utilizing the Open Hub Service (Infospoke). Can any one explain me step by step.
Thanks,
KN

We use infospoke to archive the data from the datatarget into a flatfile or a database table.
To create the infospoke select the tools menu -> open hub destination.
Give the technical name and click on create.
In the general tab select the type of the object and the name of the object from which the data is is to archived.In the destination tab select the file or the dbtable to which you want to move the data, and give the destination path.
In the infoobjects tab select the objects you want and the order in which the file is to be generated.
If you want to extract the data selectively ,you can give selections in the selections tab.
Then activate the infospoke . Click on execute .The data will be moved to the destination in specified format

Data selection in new Open Hub destination Vs Infospoke

In BW 3.5, we can use T code RSBO to create Infospoke, In the selection tab, we can use any infoobject in the source infocube as the data filterfor the infoSpoke, e.g I can set company code as 1002 etc, while in the new BI 7.0, Open Hub Destination, where I can achieve the same by set the filter for a specific infoobject in the source cude?

For Open Hub in BI7 we are creating transformation and DTP. The same resrtiction you can give in DTP (activate it after change).

Infospoke/Open hub services

Guys, I am having problem with creating open hub services. I have to push the data out to csv file. I have been able to give it a name and see the field but what is next? Is there something that I need to push to trigger it to create the file with the data in it? Also please correct me if I am wrong Isn't Infospoke same thing as open hub services? Please let me know.
Thanks,
RG.

Once the file name is given,if its a download to PC then it can only be executed in Foreground(Dialog).
Give necessary selections for the download & execute.
The open hub service allows you to distribute data from a BI system to non-SAP data marts, analytical applications, and other applications.It ensures controlled distribution across multiple systems. The InfoSpoke defines the object from which data is taken and the target into which it is transferred.

What's the difference between Infospokes and Open Hub Destination in BI 7?

I understand the API that a 3rd party tool uses to get data our of BW using infospokes. Is it the same API that a 3rd party tools such as MS-SSIS uses? Supposedly that software only communicates with an OH Destination and not Infospokes. So apparently is does use a different API. If that's the case, where can I find documentation on that API for OH Destintations?

Open Hub Destination (OHD) replaced InfoSpokes as of BI 7 SPS 6, for Open Hub Service. Existing InfoSpokes can be used still, but it's recommended that any new retractions be created as an Open Hub Desitnation, because it exposes more functionality (e.g. Transformations and functionalities with DTPs).
Here's a document on [Open Hub Service - 3rd Party Integration|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/icc/bw-ohs%20open%20hub%20service%2c%20third-party%20integration.pdf] (see Page 7). Hope this helps.

InfoSpoke ( OPEN HUB SERVIVE)

Hi Everybody,
I would like to use an InfoSpoke to share aCube Information with a CRM System.
I will try to explain the scenario I would like to achive..
I want that the CRM system checks every defined time if there is information to move into its system. Once the CRM System has picked up (or collected) the information from BW , CRM has to initiate a process to deleted the Information in the InfoSpoke.
1)
It is possible to do that, and how could CRM people to "program" something that do that? is there something standard (I mean ...that one does not need to write a program..)that do that on the CRM side?
2)
It is possible to enhance the InfoSpoke structure on the BW side?? I would like to add a SYSDATE to the structure just to write on each record when it was written (created) on the InfoSpoke...
I am going to appreciate any idea and comments.
Regards,
FedeX

Hi Fedex,
1)
It is possible to do that, and how could CRM people to "program" something that do that? is there something standard (I mean ...that one does not need to write a program..)that do that on the CRM side?
You can generate files into an application server and every time it will ger overwritten if file name is same. Why you wannt to delete the files...??
2)
It is possible to enhance the InfoSpoke structure on the BW side?? I would like to add a SYSDATE to the structure just to write on each record when it was written (created) on the InfoSpoke...
You can add the new field in BADI by enhancing target structure(adding new field) and populating using ABAP code in BADI.
