Why we use Cluster Tables in SAP Hr

hai friends, i am new to ABAP-HR and SAP HR, Actually i am core abaper ( working on SD, MM and Fi Modules ) , can any one explain me why and what is the use of Cluster tables in SAP HR, why we use in SAP HR function Module ?
Thnx in advance
Vijaya

Hi Vijaya,
This may help for ur question..
Why cluster table:
Cluster tables combine the data from several tables with identical (or almost identical) keys into one physical record on the database.
Data is written to a database in compressed form.
Retrieval of data is very fast if the primary key is known.
Cluster tables are defined in the data dictionary as transparent tables.
External programs can NOT interpret the data in a cluster table.
Special language elements EXPORT TO DATABASE, IMPORT TO DATABASE and DELETE FROM DATABASE are used to process data in the cluster tables.
PCL1 - Database for HR work area; (long text, etc)
PCL2 - Accounting Results (time, travel expense and payroll); (payroll results)
PCL3 - Applicant tracking data;
PCL4 - Documents, Payroll year-end Tax data (change logs, etc)

PSA tables in SAP BW

Hi experts,
I'm having trouble with creating PSA tables in SAP BW. Can somebody please explain the different ways to create PSA tables.
Thank You Very Much
My Regards...

Hi..
After it is extracted from source systems, data is transferred to the entry layer the data
warehouse, the persistent staging area (PSA). In this layer, data is stored in the same form as
in the source system. The way in which data is transferred from here to the next layerincorporates quality-assuring measures and the transformations and clean up required for a
uniform, integrated view of the data.
When you activate the DataSource, BI generates a PSA table and a transfer program.
The data in the DataSource (R3TR RSDS) is transferred to the PSA.
When you transport the restored 3.x DataSource into the target system, the DataSource
(R3TR RSDS) is deleted in the after image. The PSA and InfoPackages are retained. If a
transfer structure (R3TR ISTS) is transported with the restore process, the system tries to
transfer the PSA for this transfer structure. This is not possible if no transfer structure exists
when you restore the 3.x DataSource or if IDoc is specified as the transfer method for the 3.x
DataSource. The PSA is retained in the target system but is not assigned to a DataSource/3.x DataSource or to a transfer structure.
The PSA table to which the data is written is created when the transfer structure is activated.
A transparent PSA table is created for every DataSource that is activated.
The PSA tables each have the same structure as their respective DataSource. They are also flagged with key
fields for the request ID, the data package number, and the data record number.
InfoPackages load the data from the source into the PSA. The data from the PSA is processed with data transfer processes.
With the context menu entry Manage for a DataSource in the Data Warehousing Workbench
you can go to the PSA maintenance for data records of a request or delete request data from the PSA table of this DataSource. You can also go to the PSA maintenance from the monitor for requests of the load process.
Using partitioning, you can separate the dataset of a PSA table into several smaller, physically independent, and redundancy-free units. This separation can mean improved performance when you update data from the PSA.
In the Implementation Guide with SAP
NetWeaver → Business Intelligence → Connections to Other Systems → Maintain Control
Parameters for Data Transfer you define the number of data records needed to create a new
partition. Only data records from a complete request are stored in a partition. The specified value is a threshold value.
The number of fields is limited to a maximum of 255 when using TRFCs to transfer data. The length of the data record is limited to 1962 bytes when you use TRFCs.
PSA Table
For PSA tables, you access the database storage parameter maintenance by choosing Goto → Technical Attributes in DataSource maintenance. In dataflow 3.x, you access this setting in transfer rule maintenance in the Extras menu.
You can also assign storage parameters for a PSA table already in the system. However, this has no effect on the existing table. If the system generates a new PSA version (a new PSA table) due to changes to the DataSource, this is created in the data area for the current storage parameters.
Define PSA Part. size using transaction RSCUSTV6
Minimum no. of records in a PSA partition
Use program SAP_PSA_PARTITION_COMPRESS for existing PSA

Swati Namdeo

Hi swati,
1. for this u will also require help of basis team.
2. these are the steps.
a) make an entry in DBCON
b) make connection string
(on the physical application server,
so that it can connect to secondary database)
(this will be done by basis team,
in which, they will specify the
IP address of the secondary database server,
the DATABASE ID, and the port number)
c) then using open sql / native sql,
we can use the secondary database connection,
just like normal.
d) if we use open sql,
then there must be Y/Z table on
sap as well as secondary database,
and the field names , their type all should be identical.

Need of Cluster and Pool Table in SAP

Can anybody explain an importance of Cluster and Pool Table concept in SAP.

Hi Hema,
Given link was Helping but still I have few things as part of concept of Cluster and Pool Tables.
(1) As cluster and Pool, both are logical table in SAP, it doesn't have physical existence in Database. Means, a single database table (Actual physical in database server ) may contain more than one pool and cluster tables' data. Likewise it decrease no of Tables at database server whereas the amount of data may remain same. So, my question is how does it benefit in respect of Memory space at database server or any other means.?
(2). As per one of the difference between Cluster and Pool table - Tables pools doesn't need to have foreign key relationship whereas in case of cluster table it it must to have foreign key relationship. Why is it so..?
Hope I have brought more clarity to my doubt.
Regards,
Chetan.

Using case when statement in the select query to create physical table

Hello,
I have a requirement where in I have to execute a case when statement with a session variable while creating a physical table using a select query. let me explain with an example.
I have a physical table based on a select table with one column.
SELECT 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)' AS NAME_PARAMETER FROM DUAL. Let me call this table as the NAME_PARAMETER table.
I also have a customer table.
In my dashboard that has two pages, Page 1 contains a table with the customer table with column navigation to my second dashboard page.
In my second dashboard page I created a dashboard report based on NAME_PARAMETER table and a prompt based on customer table that sets the NAME_ PARAMETER request variable.
EXECUTION
When i click on a particular customer, the prompt sets the variable NAME_PARAMETER and the NAME_PARAMETER table shows the appropriate customer.
everything works as expected. YE!!
Now i created another table called NAME_PARAMETER1 with a little modification to the earlier table. the query is as follows.
SELECT CASE WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)'='Customer 1' THEN 'TEST_MART1' ELSE TEST_MART2' END AS NAME_PARAMETER
FROM DUAL
Now I pull in this table into the second dashboard page along with the NAME_PARAMETER table report.
surprisingly, NAME_PARAMETER table report executes as is, but the other report based on the NAME_PARAMETER1 table fails with the following error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: 1756 message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated. [nQSError: 16014] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SET VARIABLE NAME_PARAMETER='Novartis';SELECT NAME_PARAMETER.NAME_PARAMETER saw_0 FROM POC_ONE_DOT_TWO ORDER BY saw_0
If anyone has any explanation to this error and how we can achieve the same, please help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Updates :) sorry.. the error was a stupid one.. I resolved and I got stuck at my next step.
I am creating a physical table using a select query. But I am trying to obtain the name of the table dynamically.
Here is what I am trying to do. the select query of the physical table is as follows.
SELECT CUSTOMER_ID AS CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME AS CUSTOMER_NAME FROM 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.SCHEMA_NAME)'.CUSTOMER.
The idea behind this is to obtain the data from the same table from different schemas dynamically based on what a session variable. Please let me know if there is a way to achieve this, if not please let me know if this can be achieved in any other method in OBIEE.
Thanks.

Internal table in sap script

Hi,
You can create a sub-routine and pass all the table entries in variables and then you can print them.

Using multiple physical tables in a single logical dimension table

I have two physical tables that are related on a 1 to 1 basis based on a natural key. One of these tables is already part of my RPD file (actually, it is the W_EMPLOYEE_D from the Oracle BI Applications). The second table contains additional employee attributes from a custom table added to the data warehouse. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to display ANY data from this newly added custom table! I'm running on OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
Here's what I've tried to do. Lets call the original table E1 and the new one E2. E1 is part of the repository already, and has functioned perfectly for years.
- In my physical model, I have imported E2 and defined the join between E1 and E2.
- In my logical table for E1, I've mapped E2 to E1 (E2 appears as a source), set up an INNER JOIN in the joins section for E1 and added the attributes from E2 in the folder
- In the SOURCES for this logical table, I've set the logical level of the content for E2 appropriately (detail level, same as E1)
- In my presentation folder for E1, I've copied in the attributes from E2 that were included in my logical table
Consistency check runs smoothly, no warnings or errors. Note: E2 contains hundreds of rows, all of which have matching records in E1.
Now, when I create an analysis that includes only an attribute sourced from E2, I get a single row returned, with a NULL value. If I create an analysis that includes one attrribute from E1 and one from E2, I get all the valid E1 records with data showing, but with NULL for the E2 attributes. Remember, I have an inner join, which means that the query is "seeing" E2 data, it is just choosing not to show it to me! Additionally, I can grab the query from the NQQuery.log file - when I run this SQL in SQL*Developer, I get PERFECT results - both E1 and E2 attributes show up in the SQL - the query engine is generating valid SQL. The log file does not indicate there are any errors either; it does show the correct number of rows being added to cache. If I create a report that includes attributes from E1, E2 and associated fact metrics I get similar results. The reports seem to run fine, but all my E2 attributes are NULL in Answers. I've verified basics, like data types, etc. and when I "Query Related Objects" in the repository, everything looks consistent across all 3 layers and all objects. E2 is located in the same (Oracle) database and schema as E1, and there are no security constraints in effect.
I've experimented with a lot of different things without success, but I expected that the above configuration should have worked. Note that I cannot set up E2 as a new separate dimension, as it does not contain the key value used to join to the facts, nor do the facts contain the natural key that is in both E1 and E2.
Sorry for the long post - just trying to head off some of the questions you might have.
Any ideas welcomed! Many thanks!
Eric

Hi Eric,
I would like you to re-check on the content level settings here as they are the primary causes of this kind of behavior. You could notice that the same information might have written down in the logical plan of the query too.
Also, as per your description
"In the SOURCES for this logical table, I've set the logical level of the content for E2 appropriately (detail level, same as E1)"
I would like to check on this point again, as if you had mapped E2 to E1 in the same logical source with an inner join, you would get to set the content level at E1 levels themselves but not E2 (Now, that E2 would become a part of the E1 hierarchy too). This might be the reason, the BI Server is choosing to elimiate(null) the values from E2 too (even you could see them in the sql client)
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Extracting data from Z-table from SAP R/3 to BW

Hi all
I want to extract data from a Z-table from SAP R/3 system to Bw system. Currently I am on BW 3.5. Since it is a Z table I dont have a standard extractor for it & I dont knw how to create it. Can anyone provide me with the step-by-step documentation of how to extract data from a non standard SAP table????

Hi
You need to create Generic Datasource on the Z-Table you want to get data from
Go to RSO2 transaction to create generic datasource .
You need to give technical name of datasource under datasource type you want and click on create. Then you can give descrption and Application component under which u want see the datasource,
enter the z table name under view/ table and save.
here you can click on check boxes to make fields hidden or selection fields.

OBIEE generated SQL differs if it's a Physical Table or Select Table...

Hi!
I have some tables defined in the Physical Layer, which some are Physical Tables and others are OBIEE "views" (tables created with a Select clause).
My problem is that the difference in the generated SQL for the same table, differs (as expected) whether it is a Physical Table or a "Select Table". And this difference originates problems in the returned data. When it a Physical Table, the final report returns the correct data, but when it is a Select Table it returns incorrect/incomplete data. The report joins this table with another table from a different Database (it is a join between Sybase IQ and SQL Server).
This is the generated SQL in the log:
-- Physical Table generated SQL
select T182880."sbl_cust_acct_row_id" as c1,
T182880."sbl_cust_acct_ext_key" as c2,
T182880."sbl_cust_source_sys" as c3
from
"SGC_X_KEY_ACCOUNT" T182880
order by c2, c3
-- "Select Table" generated SQL
select
     sbl_cust_acct_ext_key,
     ltrim(rtrim(sbl_cust_source_sys)) as sbl_cust_source_sys,
     sbl_cust_acct_row_id,
     sbl_cust_acct_camp_contact_row_id,
     ods_date,
     ods_batch_no,
     ods_timestamp
from dbo.SGC_X_KEY_ACCOUNT
As you may notice, the main difference is the use of Aliases (which I think that it has no influence in the report result) and the use of "Order By" (which I start to think that it its the main cause to return the correct data).
Don't forget that OBIEE server is joining the data from this table, with data from another table from a differente database. Therefore, the join is made in memory (OBIEE Engine). Maybe in the OBIEE Engine the Order by is essential to guarantee a correct join...but then again, I have some other tables in the Physical Layer that are defined as "Select" and the generated SQL uses the aliases and the Order by clause...
In order to solve my problem, I had to transform the "Select Table" into a "Physical Table". The reason it was defined as a "Select Table" was because it had a restriction in the Where Clause (which I eliminated already, althouth the performance wil be worse).
I'm confused. Help!
Thanks.

Hi FPG,
Not sure if this is a potential issue for you at all, but I know it caused me all kinds of headaches before I figured it out. Had to do with "Features" tab Values in the database object's settings in the Physical Layer:
Different SQL generated for physical table query vs. view object query?
Mine had to do with SQL from View objects not being submitted as I would expect, sounds like yours has more to do with "Order By"? I believe I remembered seeing some Order By and Group By settings in the "Features" list. You might make a copy of your RPD and experiement around with setting some of those if they aren't already selected and retesting your queries with the new DB settings.

How to Access table in SAP

Hi Gurus,
Actually I am new to SAP and was wondering if somebody could tell me how to access a table in SAP where the relavant data is being stored.
e.g. If I want to check table VBAK, what wouldbe the menupath/t-code?
Thank you.

Hi Juhi,
Since you are new to SAP you might want to have this link handy.. it has several useful information including the tables list

Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System

Hi,
I downloaded Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System Using MII 12.0
senario from sdn. I'm trying to do that senario in MII 12.05. But I have problem with section 6 in page 7 (you can supply senario from sdn)
"6- Under the loop of Repeater, use action u2018Rowu2019 to append just the string part of the WA which will display only values for field u2018Batchu2019"
I did not find WA elemen in Output element of Repeater_0
How can I create WA element?
Thanks.

Cemil,
Set up a SAP JCo Interface action block. Use the RFC name RFC_READ_TABLE.
In the link editor map the table to "MARA", set RowCount to something small (20 is good sample size) and create an xml transaction property named FIELDS and copy the following into it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><FIELDS>
 <item>
 <FIELDNAME>MATNR</FIELDNAME>
 <OFFSET/>
 <LENGTH/>
 <TYPE/>
 <FIELDTEXT/>
 </item>
 <item>
 <FIELDNAME>MTART</FIELDNAME>
 <OFFSET/>
 <LENGTH/>
 <TYPE/>
 <FIELDTEXT/>
 </item>
 <item>
 <FIELDNAME>BSTME</FIELDNAME>
 <OFFSET/>
 <LENGTH/>
 <TYPE/>
 <FIELDTEXT/>
 </item>
 <item>
 <FIELDNAME>XCHPF</FIELDNAME>
 <OFFSET/>
 <LENGTH/>
 <TYPE/>
 <FIELDTEXT/>
 </item>
 <item>
 <FIELDNAME>DATAB</FIELDNAME>
 <OFFSET/>
 <LENGTH/>
 <TYPE/>
 <FIELDTEXT/>
 </item>
 </FIELDS>
Then link the Transaction.FIELDS to SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/FIELDS}. You may run into problems with two other fields and optionally they can be removed (set link type to remove xml). I usually remove them initially for testing. The two fields are:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/NO_DATA}
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/DELIMITER} (or you can set this to something like a semicolon,";" or tilda,"~". I find it easier to caclulate position by length, but that is my own idiosyncrasy.)
Once you get this one working, we can explore how to do filtering on the dataset. Your output should be something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RFC_READ_TABLE>
<INPUT>
 <DELIMITER />
 <NO_DATA />
 <QUERY_TABLE>MARA</QUERY_TABLE>
 <ROWCOUNT>20</ROWCOUNT>
 <ROWSKIPS>0</ROWSKIPS>

Add a repeater sourced on:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Response{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/DATA/item}
Link your repeater output to a tracer with this:
Repeater_0.Output{/item/WA}
What you will see in each tracer message is a single line of data with all the fields contents concatenated together. You can look up what each field in the string represents by the length of the field as returned in the Response segment of the RFC_READ_TABLE rfc. Then you can parse out the data you are interested in.
Give this a try and let me know how you succeeded.
By the way, I could not find the scenario you referred to. Can you post a link?
Regards,
Mike

Dynamic physical table name vs. Cache

Hello, Experts!
I'm facing quite an interesting problem. I have two physical tables with the same structure but with a different data. Requirement is to show same reports with one or another table. Idea is to have dynamically changed physical table name with session variable usage. Session variable can be change in UI so it was working until cache was turned on. When cache is turned on logical statements sent to OBI backend are the same even for different values of session variable that stores physical table name. Once cache is populated every users will get values from cache. This is possible source of discrepancy because some users might run reports with tableA values and some with tableB values.
Are there any options to set OBI to use data related to proper physical table name (i.e. accordingly to session variable value)? Model clone is not an option because it will be way to hard and complex to maintain both, beside same reports need to work sometimes with one table name and sometimes with other...
PS. Cache is set to be common for all users.
Lucas

thank you, I've found another way to make it running. In fact there are two ways of doing it: filter LTS and have all data filtered from single table with session variable or use fragmentation content also with session variable.
Now tricky part is to set variable from UI, currently I'm using issue raw sql: call NQSSetSessionValue( 'String SV_SIGNOFF=aaa;' ) but I have to figure out how to change session non system variable value without need of administrator user rights.
There is GoURL method, but it's not working...
2. Add In ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/web/display/authenticationschemas.xml
<RequestVariable source="url" type="informational" nameInSource="lang"
biVariableName="NQ_SESSION.LOCALE" />
inside the top <AuthenticationSchemaGroup> </AuthenticationSchemaGroup> tag
