Publishing data from a Cube to a flat file

Hi,
I need to publish data from a Info Cube to a flat file. The requirement here is a variable selection will be specified (fiscal periods, product group) and based on the selection chosen the data should be generated in the flat file. What are the options I have to do this.
I know using an APD we can generare data into a flat file but how can we have a variable selection for that data generation. Plus is there a limit on the number of data records we can generate
using an APD
Apart from the APD what other options do we have?
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi Rashmi,
Please follow below steps by using open hub destination
1. Go to RSA1 -> Select Open Hub Destination from Left pane.
2. Right Click on the info area under which you want to create Open Hub and Select Create Open Hub Destination.
3. Give Name, Description for the Open Hub.
4. In template, Select Object type as "Infocube" and give the name in Name field. Press Enter
5. In Destination tab, Select Destination type as File. Give all other details like Filename, Directory etc.
In the Destination tab select type as FILE and give SEPARATOR as comma(,) and not as semi-colon(
and observe that the values iin the file will be displayed in different cells
6. In Field Def tab, you will see all the Fields that can be transferred from Source infocube to File.
7. Save the open hub destination.
8. Right click on created open hub, Select Create transformation. Give Source of transformation as the infocube. Make transformation as needed.
9. Again right click on the open hub, Select Create DTP. Then Save and Activate the DTP.
10. Schedule the data extract as required.
Option2:
You can download in LISTCUBE tcode as well.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Please can anyone help me to get the data from Purchasing extractors (2LIS_02_ITM, 2LIS_02_SCL, 2LIS_02_S012) to flat files? Here we dont want to load data from R/3 to BW for reporting, wanted to load data from flat files to OWB (Oracle warehouse builder) for reporting. So Is there anyway to generate data into flat files from Purchasing extractors (Full and deltas)?

Extract work order data from r/3 system in flat file(csv)and export to BI

Hi,
I am new in interface.
I need to extract data regarding actual cost and quantities of work assigned to Service Providers from SAP system and send it to BI for reporting purposes.
This interface will extract Master data as well as transactional data. Extraction of Master data will be a full extract and that of transactional data will be Delta Extraction.
Custom development will extract the data from different fields and will export it to flat files (CSV format). This program will amalgamate all the flat files created into one big file and export it to BI system.
Export of data to BI system will be done by schedule program Control M, which will export the data from SAP system to BI system in batches. Control M is expected to run daily at night.
Please provide the step-by-step proces to do this.
Thanks

How to extract required data from a column to a flat file

my ssis package is working OK. However, I want to refine one of the column extraction.
when data is extracted to the flat file, I just want to the initials, firstname, lastname e.g.
FZ = Ben Smith, Add1, add1, etc
the only bit that i want is Ben Smith
how can i state in the package to just give me the name and exclude the rest
sukai

Add a derived column task to extract Name part alone and give expression as below
LEFT([ColumnName],FINDSTRING([ColumnName],",",1)-1)
If before SSIS 2012 use SUBSTRING
SUBSTRING([ColumnName],1,FINDSTRING([ColumnName],",",1)-1)
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Data from planning cube to TEXT FILE IN directories of BW

hi all
i have 2 transactional planning cubes in BW. the data in these cubes in bw needs to be uploaded monthly in to a single text file so that APO system can access the data for some purpose.
my question is how to upload the data from transactional cubes to the text file, which is more detailed. is that use ful to construct a ODS or CUBE(basic) on top of the transactional cubes.
if i keep the file in BW directory whethere APO can access that.?..
please help me out
praveen.

Hi,
You could create a multicube over your 2 transactional cubes and extract your data with a query on the multicube.
Make sure you restrict 0REQUID 'request id' using 0S_RQMRC 'most current data' to be sure you extract the most recently planned data.
No need to convert the transactional cubes to basic cubes.
To download the query I think you have to use the reporting agent of the broadcaster.
Thanks for you points if you found this helpful or if this solved your problem.

You can load data directly from the BW cubes to APO if the BW system is set up as a source system.
If you need the file then you may want to investigate using open hub.

Reading aggregated data from a cube/multiprovider

Hi BI people
My project is currently looking for a functionmodule that reads aggregated data from a cube/multiprovider.
I already have a functionmodule that reads data from a cube and returns it in a flat format. I have debugged this, but have not found any flags that can enable the OLAP functionality needed to perform the aggregation. The functionmodule is "RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC".
The situation is that I need to apply the aggregation logic of a profit center hierrarchy to the data I read from RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC, this means manually replicating the the OLAP engine functionality (keyfigure aggregation exception, ect.) and this is not an option with the available time/budget.
Please have a look at the example below:
Say that I have a profit center hierarchy as displayed below (with postable nodes).
PC1 - $10
|---- PC2 - $30
|---- PC3 - $20
The data I'm getting back from the functionmodule RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC looks like this:
PC1 $10
PC2 $30
PC3 $20
But I need the data aggregated. An aggregation utilizing the hierarchy above will make the data look like this:
PC1 $60
PC2 $30
PC3 $20
Instead of building an aggregation program, it would be usefull if it was possible to extract aggregated data.
Any comments appreciated.
Regards
Martin

Thx Olivier,
The problem is that I need a functionmodule that can apply the OLAP aggregation for a hierarchy to the data outpu from RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC.
... or the best alternative would be if there were a fm/class that could provide me with the hierarchy aggregation of the data.

To load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.

Experts,
Please let me know whether it is possible to load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.If so explain the steps to perform.
Thanks,
Meera

Hi,
Think in this way,
To load the data fro any source we need datasource Ok. You can genare Export data source for Cube in APO, then use that datasource for BW extraction, try like this. I think it will work, in my case I'm directly loading data from APO to BW using the DataSource sthat are genaraed on Planning Area.
Why you need to take data from APO cube?. Is there any condition for that?. If it is not mandatory, you can use the dame datasource and load the data to BW, if they have any conditions while loading the data from APO to APO cube, they you try check wherther it is possible in BW or not. If possible then you use DataSource and do the same calculation in BW directly.
Thanks

Automatically trigger the event to load data from Planning cube to Standard Cube

Hello,
We have a below set up in our system..
1. A Planning BEx query using which user makes certain entries and writes back data to the planning cube.
2. An actual reporting cube which gets data from the planning cube above.
Now, what we want to do is to automate the data load from Planning cube to Reporting cube.
This involves 2 things..
1. Change the setting " Change real time load behaviour " of the planing cube to Planning.
2. Trigger the DTP which loads data from Planning cube to reporting cube.
We want to automate the above two steps...
I have tried few things to achieve the same..
1. Created an event in SM64,
2. In the Planning cube "Manage" Screen, clicked on "Subsequent Processing" and provided the event details. ( Not sure if its the correct place to provide the event detail ).
3. Wrote a ABAP program which changes the setting of the planning cube ( " Change real time load behaviour " to Loading )
4. Created a process chain, where we have used the event as a start variant, used the ABAP program as a next step, DTP run as the last step..
This i hoped, would trigger the event as soon as a new request comes and sits in planning cube, which in turn would trigger the process chain which would load the data from Planning cube to reporting cube..
This is not working. I dont think the event is triggering, and even if does i am not sure whether it will start the process chain automatically. Any ideas please ?

hi,
try to do the transformation directly in the input cube by using CR of type exit, more details :

Extracting data directly from a datasource to a flat file

My requirements are to extract data from a SAP standard profit center accounting data extractor 0EC_PCA_1 directly to a flat file. Can this be done in a standard way or is custom ABAP development required ?
I have tried the RSA3 based extractor, but as the result is displayed in packets, I would have to export the content of each extracted packet to separate flat file which is not very feasible.
Br,
HR

Hi,
1st option: create a dummy ods as well as a dummy infosource and dummy update rules. Assign the datasource to the dummy infosource. In the start routine of the transfer rules take each datapackage and download it to a file. Delete the datapackage. So you need almost no coding and you can also use a possible delta mechanism.
2nd option: create your own abap and call the extraction module. Take care about the way it works like init mode, building packages... Possibly you need to find a way to remodel the delta capability.
kind regards
Siggi

Move data from one cube to another cube

Hi,
I am on BW 3.5 and I have moved the data from one cube to another cube and found that the number of records in the original cube does not match to the newly created cube. for eg. if the original cube contains 8,549 records then the back up cube contains 7,379 records.
Please help me on what I need to look on and if in case the records are getting aggregated then how do I check the aggregating record.
Regards,
Tyson

Dear tyson m ,
check with any update rules in ur transfer.If so check in it.
Just go through these methods for making transfer from one cube to another cube fully without missing data.
Update rules method
if it's updated from ods, you can create update rules for cube2 and update from ods
or you can try datamart scenario
cube1 right click 'generate export datasource'
create update rules for cube2, assign with cube1
rsa1->source system->bw myself, right click 'replicate datasource'
rsa1-> infosource -> search 8cube1 name
(if not get, try right click root note 'infosource'->insert lost node(s)
from that infosource, you will find assigned with datasource, right click and 'create infopackage', schedule and run.
Copy from
While creating the new cube give the cube name in the "Copy from" section. It would copy all the characteristics and Key figures. It would even copy the dimensions and Navigational attributes
Another option is:
The steps for copying the contents of one cube to another:
1. Go to Manage -> Recontruct of the new cube.
2. Select the "selection button"(red , yellow, blue diamond button).
3.In the selection screen you can give the technical name of the old cube, requests ids you want to load, from & to date.
4.Execute and the new cube would be loaded.
Its all that easy!!!!!!

Deleting Data from SSAS CUBE

Hello Everyone,
I have a question, we developed a Basic Cube by building dimensions & Fact from the Source table(Everything in DSV, no Physical DIM and Fact Tables). Now everything goes well. The Source table will only have CUrrent day data.
My Question is: Need to delete particular day data from the cube without disturbing the Existing Data.
Eg: When I process the data on 31st of March, cube will have only 31st. But when I process 1st , 2nd data CUbe should have 31st +2nd data. 1st Dated data should be deleted from cube,when ever I process the data I just need month end data need to be stored
with current day data. all the other stuff should be deleted from the cube.
if I process the Cube on 1st of May, I should only have 31st March, April 30th and May 1st data.
Hope the Question is clear, please let me know.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks In Advance.
Thanks, Please Help People When they need..!!! Mark as answered if your problem is solved.

Hi BKomm,
I Guess the only way to handle this scenario is by using partitions.
Create partitions for every last day of months + One additional partition for current_date.
your where clause for current_date partition should be somewhat like this
Where Date = current_date And Date <> Last_Day_of_current_Month
so that it does not duplicate data for the last day of current month.

Hello Kamat, I was looking for something else inorder to delete the existing data from a cube. But your Approach is far better than making it complex, it did not strike to my mind. Thanks will implement practically and check.
Thanks Again.

SSRS pulls data from ESSBASE cube, data not showing

Dear Experts,
We are connecting SSRS 2012 to Essbase 11.1.3 to pull data from the cube, and having some issues with some members data not showing in the query designer and report, while some have no problem. And we couldn't find a pattern on which members won't show. We are wondering if this is a known issue and if there is a way to solve the problem.
Thanks very much.

Hi ,
Check the following:-
1 Check whether you have made the joins properly.
2 Check data at multiprovider level .
3 is data available for reporting in both the cubes

How to Fetch the Data from a Cube

Dear All,
We created a cube containing dimensions
Customer, Product, Branch, Activity, Time dimensions
using Oracle Analytical WorkSpace Manager.
Once Cube is created,
How can I see the Data existing in the Cube using normal SQL Queries ??? Through Analytical Workspace Manager Toll we r able to see the data. But our requirement is to see the data from the Cube using SQL Queries.
Regards,
S.Vamsi Krishna

Hey I got the Solution. It follows in this way :
A Cube is nothing but a Data Storage. Based on the Mapping we given it considers the data.
To fetch the data from the Cube -> we have to write the SQl Query as below :
     SELECT dealer_name,model_name,sales
     FROM TABLE(OLAP_TABLE('MDB.FINAL_AW DURATION SESSION',
     'DIMENSION dealer_name AS varchar2(30) FROM FINALDEAL
     DIMENSION model_name AS varchar2(30) FROM FINALMODEL'));
We can create View for the above statement o
we can apply group by ,rollup, etc etc clauses
and even we can write where clauses for the above select statement.
But now my doubt is :
can we apply any calculations while mapping the Level to an Dimension.
Generally we will map Level toa dimension as DBUSER.TABLENAME.COLUMN NAME
can we apply any calculation like :
MIS.PROPKEY020MB.MATURITY_DATE+2
Please help for the above.
If any wrong is there please let me know
