OpenHub Destination

I have created the OpenHub destination and can extract a DSO down to my PC in .csv format, however I want to be able to save the file there in an excel format.
So I was looking around and I saw this function module GUI_DOWNLOAD.
The question then is do I need to create a new RFC so that I can specify a new type of file or do I need to modify the destination "file" so that it allows an Excel file type?

You should be able to import straight into Excel:
1. Open Excel
2. Create a new blank sheet
3. Select Data -> Import External Data -> Import Data...
4. Select your CSV file and click on Open
5. Choose type "Delimited" and optionally select a start row other than 1 if you have header information that you want to skip. Also select the right encoding and click on next.
6. Choose your delimiter (e.g. comma) and the right text qualifier (usually "). Click next.
7. Select each column and define its data format using the drop down menu. Click on Finish.
Please note that unless you are using Office 2007, Excel has a limitation of about 65000 rows.
Hope this helps,

  • Process Chain Component for Deleting Openhub Destination

    I have an openhub that places the results of a DSO on AL11.
    I created / scheduled a process chain for updating the file.
    I'd like to modify the process chain and add a step to delete the file on AL11 before I run the DTP.
    Is this possible?
    Mike

    Hi
    Can achieve this with ABAP Process -- by calling FM -- EPS_DELETE_FILE (or) Command delete dataset file.
    Basis Team can also help via writing Unix script which can be executed via SM49 to delete the File.
    To access the file..
    *-c list in time order.
    CONCATENATE 'ls -c' p_fin INTO w_list_commandin
    SEPARATED BY space.
    CONCATENATE w_list_commandin '/.' INTO w_list_commandin.
    CALL unix list command - will populate itab_file_list ITAB
    CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD w_list_commandin ID 'TAB'
    FIELD it_file_list-sys.
    To delete..
    Remove the file once it is processed
    CONCATENATE 'rm' it_file_list-file_name
    INTO w_runcmd SEPARATED BY space.
    send command to unix to move item file
    CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD w_runcmd.
    Hope it helps

  • OpenHub Alignment issue

    Hi SAP Team,
    I have issue related to OpenHub document,the position or the order or the sequence of data fields are not in sync with how i created the OpenHub destination.
    Also after saving the new OpenHub destination created out of cube/dso ,revisiting it shows in different order and is not in the correct sequence.
    Do let me know the reason or some suggestion on that.
    Thanks!

    user567159,
    Yes. So, there are a couple of options afh:tableLayout layouts components out with a traditional html table. You can also nest af:panelGroups, which will lay components out as divs. If you are looking for a center aligned form layout, try af:panelForm. Hope that helps.

  • Error in Open Hub Destination Transport

    Hi All,
    I am facing the following problem in transporting the openhub destination.
    We have created a Open Hub Destination with following settings.
    Destination Type :- 'FILE'
    We have ticked the application Server name checkbox.
    In the server name we have selected our BI Development Server.
    In the type of File Name we have selected 'Logical File Name'. We have maintained the details in AL11 and FILE transactions.
    While transporting it to our Quality system, it throws an error saying it does not recognize the server name (which is true, the server name is different in quality system).
    Needed your guidance if there is any setting like source system conversion where it would change the name?
    Also if you could guide me regarding the best practices to transport the entries we have created in AL11 and FILE it would be realy nice. I did a search on this in SDN and could not find any useful stuff for my case.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Your TR is failing, may be because in your target system, application server file system is different.
    go to transaction AL11 and check that. If same folder structure is not available, get it created, or go to RSA1 and try changing your infospoke settings to point to the application sever file as in your target system.
    You have to point this path to Q server.

  • Number of fields in Openhub not displayed correctly

    HI all,
    I have created an OpenHub destination with destination type FILE. Created a logical file and assigned the same to the Physical path.
    After I load the data to the Openhub, I cannot find  all the columns what are present in the OpenHub.out of 99, only few like 63 to 86 are being displayed in the output.
    1. Will there be any restriction to the number of fields displayed in the Application server. \
    2. The final number of columns are not consistent and its different for different records in the same data load.
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Best Regards

    hi check this error
    check the transformation mapings
    or check this may help you
    Error message: 'Destination not supported' (Error Code RSBO 102)
    Firstly the corrupt Open Hub destinations need to be repaired. To do this you need to check the table RSBOHDEST, for all Open Hub Destination entries where the field DESTYPE is initial/empty or is equal to 'FILE', you must change the DESTYPE for such entries to TAB in the table RSBOHDEST.

  • How to create filters for OPENHUB?

    hi experts,
    how can i create filters for OPENHUB Destination for the below scenario.
    Make some kind of u201Clogicu201D to support a filter on an open hub. E.g. only data from month 2011-04  and until today are u201Copen hubu2019edu201D each day and data before 2011-04 must be u201Copen hubu2019ed u201D e.g. each weekend.
    The filter on the open hub can be different from open hub to open hub. We must be able, to filter one or more fields from the open hub.

  • OpenHub using Infoset as source

    Hi gurus,
    which is the best approach to use an infoset as a source of an OpenHub destination? Any experiences on this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Inaki,
    You can create openhub destination based on Infoset, I dont' have any realtime exp. but I just read throug tech. documents,
    1) Create a Open hub destination, on the same screen it will ask you the template. This template will be used to select the fields for your openhub destination.
    2) Once you select all the fields and create open hub destination activate it and goto context menu from RSA1 to create transformation on this open Hub destination.
    3) Select the source of transformation as InfoSet, do the field mapping.
    4) Create DTP and you are ready to do data loading.
    Regards,
    Durgesh.

  • 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.

  • RE: Open Hub Destination  "Indicator for Semantic Key"

    Hi ..
    While Creating OpenHub Destination In BI 7.O ,  In Fileds tab we can find "Indicator for Semantic Key**"  column Selection check box , can any one let me know Why we select this check box  ? what is it's purpose ?
    Edited by: navenas on Feb 2, 2010 3:08 PM

    HI,
    Semantic key:
    If you set the Semantic Key indicator, the system selects all the fields in the field list as semantic keys, if they are suitable. You can change this selection in the field list. However, note that duplicate records may result from using a semantic key.
    Check this out for more details

  • Openhub destnation type file - Problem of server name

    Hi All,
    I have created many Openhub destinations in BI 7.0 on my development BW server. I extract files to application server with the default path DIR_HOME which system automatically gives. As well, the server name is automatically given. It works successfully.
    Then I’ve transported in quality BW server all my Openhub destinations but the server name is still the development server name. I have got the following message after DTP execution: “Could not open file “/usr/sap/QMB/DVEBMGS00/work/Z0ABCINDT.CSV” on application server”
    Does a standard SAP variable exist to determine the current server of the execution?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Arnaud

    Hi Nagesh,
    Yes I already tried the solution using Logical Path and it is working. But in my case it meens I had to create 150 logical files with one logical path and during the test integration phasing...
    <b>Anyway I've found the solution</b>: When you want to keep the default path DIR_HOME <b>you have to write in "Application Server" the variable "SYST-DATUM"</b> instead of "my_server_sys_name_dev". It is working even when I transport my openhub (of course even if your Application Server integration Name change "my_server_sys_name_qual" compare to "my_server_sys_name_dev").

  • Empty OpenHub files

    Hi!
    We have a BW set-up that loads a lot of data to several OpenHub-destinations, all of the destination types are files.
    These are being loaded every night (delta) and recently we wanted to do a full load of these files since we have had several issues recently with interrupted nightly jobs, just to be sure everything is up-to-date i.e. We deleted all the "where-used" instances from ODS (which loads into OpenHub) and then ran the InfoPackage again (delta but this time "all data" i.e.).
    This worked just fine but we can see that just before the new file with "all data" is written, there is a large number of "empty" OpenHub-files created.
    Now we're wondering what is the cause of this? It causes some issues for us since this is loaded into another Data Warehouse which checks all these files. Is this perhaps something that happens for all the deletions from the where-used list?
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    UPDATE: All the new files are S-files I just realized, i.e. structure files so the question now is if there is any way to avoid having these created when I do a deletion from the where-used list which is what I'm guessing is causing the repeated creation of these.
    Regards
    /Fredrik
    Edited by: Fredrik Helderyd on Aug 17, 2010 12:16 PM

    Take a look at them with QuickLook or TextEdit; they may not really be empty.
    Apple has suggested formats for plist files, but not all 3rd-party apps follow them. Thus many apps that claim to check whether they're corrupted can only check them against the suggested format.
    Unless they're huge, or related to an app you've deleted, or you're having trouble with the app they relate to, it's safest to just leave them alone. They won't hurt anything.

  • 0CO_AREA and 0UNIT can't be removed from OpenHub

    I was creating an openhub destination and 0CO_AREA and 0UNIT keep coming back when I remove them.
    What's up with that?
    Mike

    Hi,
    you may be using cost center or cost element some other infoobject with which controlling area may be compounded...thats why when you pull the object the compounded object will also come...this has to be and you should include the compound characteristics in open hub.
    Also 0unit is the unit of the key figure and it will get  included if you include the key figure in open hub...again its not posible to keep them out as you need them to show the units.
    Thanks
