Query regarding data loading from xls

Hi
I want to read data ( integers , only one column) from xls file. I donot want to load it in a table otherwise I could have tried using loader. But what I need to do is I have lakhs of rows in excel sheet and I need to pick them up in a query . I cannot create a table also as working on production . I s there any way I can pick it directly from the excel sheet as I it large volume and I cannot keep them in ( in.. clause) also .

" Query regarding Data transfer from Bi to BO Tool "

Dear Friends,
I am having a query. I have created a Info-cube and established the universe on the top of the Info-cube.The Dat is coming in the Bi system. When I created a new Webi-report the Data from the ino-cube in the universe is not reflecting the Webi-report .
Can anyone tell me the solution for the Data Load in the Webi-report .

Hi,
There are two ways to design universe on top of cube/Query.
1)Olap Universe :Please go through by below link for how to create mdx universe.by this way create one connection and select cube or query and by default designer will replicate cube/query in the universe.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/903a7fc7-19e8-2d10-fa95-b050de946b61?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
2) Create Data federator project on top of Cube and then design universe.
To pull data in the webi report create universe then select objects and run the query.If data is available in the cube or query that will come in the webi report.
I have already said webi report pull data at run time.there is no need or no way to load data in the universe or webi.
Design a universe and create webi or deski report on top of universe.
For more information you can search on net can be found documents how to create report.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,

Data load from R/3....(problem)

Hello all,
I have a query regarding data load.
Business scenario is :
1) I had taken "init delta" 2 months ago....had started deltas at that time...
2) somehow...i need to delete whole data....
3) present RSA7 in R/3 : Delta queue : 0 records
Repeat Delta : 53000 records.
4)reloaded whole data till date in BW.....through process chain ( Full load )..
5) Now...my question is ....
Should i need to do "init delta " again......and start delta ?????
Will there be any missing data ????
what will happen to "repeat delta queue data" ????
Please tell me the steps ....i should take..
Thanks...

hello,
One more thing .....
I have to load fiscal period wise....
April 2007 is : 001.2007 and 013.2006 as special period.....
Now i have loaded till March 2007 : (012.2006)......
So before starting deltas.....Is this sequence for loading data is correct ??
1) 013.2006 to 016.2006 <b>(data for these periods may exist or may not )</b>
2) 001.2007 to 002.2007 <b>(Current Open month)</b> ....(Full load)
3) Then Init delta ......then delta ...???
Please help me....its urgent .....

Hi,
i have followed your recomendation, but when i try to use the process /CPMB/MASTER_CONVERT, with the parameter TRANSFORMATIONFILEPATH and the root of the transformation file as value, i have a new problem. The value only have 60 char, and my root is longer:
\ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\APPXX\PLANNING\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\trans.xls
How can we put this root???

Data loading from DSO to Cube

Hi,
I have a question,
In book TBW10 i read about the data load from DSO to InfoCube
" We feed the change log data to the InfoCube, 10, -10, and 30 add to the correct 30 value"
My question is cube already have 10 value, if we are sending 10, -10 and 30 Values(delta), the total should be 40 instead of 30.
Please some one explaine me.
Thanks

No, it will not be 40.
It ll be 30 only.
Since cube already has 10, so before image ll nullify it by sending -10 and then the correct value in after immage ll be added as 30.
so it ll be like this 10-10+30 = 30.
Thank-You.

Vinod

How to find the data loaded from r/3 to bw

hi
how to find the data loaded from r/3 to bw is correct . i am not able to find which feild in the query is connected to which feild in the r/3 . where i am geting the data from r/3 . is there any process to find which feild and table the data is comming from . plz help
thanks in advance to u all

Hi Veda ... the mapping between R/3 fields and BW InfoObjects should take place in Transfer Rules. Other transformation could take place in Update Rule.
So you could proceed this way: look at InfoProvider Data Model and see if the Query does perform any calculation (even with Virtual keyfigures / chars). Than go back to Update Rules and search for other calculation / transformation. At least there are Tranfer Rule and eventually DataSource / Extraction Enhancements.
As you can easily get there are many points where you have to look for ... it's a quite complex work but very usefull.
Once you will have identified all mappings / transfromation see if BW data matchs R/3 (considering calculations ...)
Good job

Number of parallel process definition during data load from R/3 to BI

Dear Friends,
We are using Bi7.00. We have a requirement in which i should increase the number of parallel process during data load from R/3 to BI. I want to modify this for a particular data source and check.Can experts provide helpful answers for the following question.
1) When load is taking place or have taken place, where can we see how many parallel process that particular load has taken.
2) Where should i change the setting for the number of parallel process for data load (from R/3 to BI) and not within BI.
3) How system works and what will be net result of increasing or decreasing the number of parallel process.
Expecting Experts help.
Regards,
M.M

Dear Des Gallagher,
Thank you very much for the useful information provided. The following was my observation.
From the posts in this forum, i was given to understand that the setting for specific data source can be done in the infopackage and DTP level, i carried out the same and found that there is no change in the load, i.e., system by default takes only one parallel process even though i maintained 6.
Can you kindly explain about the above mentioned point. i.e.,
1) Even though the value is maintained in the infopackage level , will system consider it or not. -> if not then from which transaction system is able to derive the 1 parallel process.
Actually we wanted to increase the package size but we failed because i could not understand what values have to be maintained -> can you explain in detail
Can you calrify my doubt and provide solution?
Regards,
M.M

Query in data Loading.

Hi All,
I have a query on data loading.
Right now the delta is running in BI Production.Suppose some records are missing in ODS,then i can go for select conditions in Info package and selecting the repair Full request.
Query No 1 : Instead of running full repair request,Will system allow to run Full Load for loading in ODS.
Query No 2 : Instead of running full repair request,Will system allow to run Full Load for loading in Cube.
Query No 3 : Can i run delta load, once the Full load is done in Cube and ODS.
Thanks,
Jelina

Hi there,
The full repair is nothing more than a full load, with the difference that it doesn't mess up with your current deltas, i.e., you can run a full repair without spoiling your deltas.
So instead of a full load, why not the full repair since it is still a full load extraction?
Also keep in mind that a full repair over the ODS, if the ODS is set to overwrite, you have no problem bringing data that already exists in the ODS, it will simple overwrite the same data, now for the cube is different. If you bring a full it will add the data that already exist, so in that case you will have to selective delete from the cube the data you will bring once more with the full repair so you won't have any duplicates.
In all these cases the full repair works without any problem. And after the full repairs the deltas work without any issue.

Summing up key figure in Cube - data load from ODS

Hello Gurus,
I am doing a data load from ODS to cube.
The records in ODS are at line-item level, and all needs to be summed up at header level. There is only one key-figure. ODS has header and line-item fields.
I am loading only header field data ( and not the item-field data) from ODS to Cube.
I am expecting only-one record in cube ( for all the item-level records) with all the key-figures summed up. But couldn't see that.
Can anyone please explain how to achieve it.
I promise to reward points.
=====
Example to elaborate my point.
In ODS
Header-field item-field   quantity
123                301          10
123                302           20
123                303           30
Expected record in Cube
Header-field       Quantity
   123                    60
====================
Regards,
Pramod.

Hello Oscar and Paolo.
Thanks for the reply. I am using BW 7.0
Paolo suggested:
>>If you don't add item number to cube and put quantity as adition in update rules >>from ODS to cube it works.
I did that still I get 3 records in cube.
Oscar Suggested:
>>What kind of aggregate do you have for your key figure in update rules (update >>or no change)?
It is "summation". And it cannot be changed. (Or at least I do not know how to change it.)
There are other dimensions in the cube - which corresponds to the field(s) in ODS.
But, I just mentioned these two (i.e. header and item-level) for simplicity.
Can you please help?
Thank you.
Pramod.

Error is data loading from 3rd party source system with DBCONNECT

Hi,
We have just finished an upgrade of SAP BW 3.10 to SAP NW 7.0 EHP1.
After the upgrade, we are facing a problem with data loads from a third party Oracle source system using DBConnect.
The connection is working OK and we can see the tables in the source system. But we cannot load the data.
The error in the monitor is as follows:
'Error message from the source system
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the source system.
System Response
Caller 09 contains an error message.
Further analysis:
The error occurred in Extractor .
Refer to the error message.'
But, unfortunately, the error message has no further information.
If we look at the job log in sm37, the job finished with the following log -

There will be three things to get the errors like this
1.RFC CONNECTION FAILED
2.CHECK THE SOURCE SYSTEM
3.CHECK IT OUT WITH Oracle Consultants WEATHER THEY ARE FILLING UP THE LOADS.TELL THEM TO STOP
4.CHECK I DOC PROCESSING
5.FINALLY MEMORY ISSUES.
6.CATCH THE DATA SOURCE FIRST CHANGE IT AND THEN ACTIVATE AND RUN THE LOAD
7.LAST IS MEMORY ISSUE.
and also Check the RFC connection in SM59 If it is ok then
check the SAP note : 692195 for authorization

How we can automate the data loading from BI-BPC

Dear Guru's
Thanks for watching this thread,my question is
How we can load the data from BI7.0 to BPC.My environment is SAP-BI 7.0 and BPC is 7.5 MS version and 2008SQL.
How we can automate the data loading from BI- BPC Ms version.Is manual flat file load is mandatory in ms version.
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivasan.

Here are some options
1) Use standars packages and schedule them :
A) Openhub masterdata file into a flat file/ BPC App server and Schedule the package - Import Master Data from a Data File and other relevent packages.
2 ) Using Custom Tasks in Custom Packages ( SSIS)
Procedure
From the Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence Developer Studio, open the Microsoft SSIS folder.
Create a new package, or select an existing package to modify.
Choose Task Register Custom Task .
In the Task Location field, browse for the target .dll file.
Note
By default, the .dll files are stored in BPC/Websrvr/bin.
End of the note.
Enter a task description, select an appropriate icon, then click OK.
Drag the icon to the designer window. Enter data as required.
Save the package.

Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5

Hi Experts,
                   Kindly give me the detailed steps with screens about Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5
       ...............Please

Hi ,
Procedure
You are in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the DataSource tree.
       1.      Select the application components in which you want to create the DataSource and choose Create DataSource.
       2.      On the next screen, enter a technical name for the DataSource, select the type of DataSource and choose Copy.
The DataSource maintenance screen appears.
       3.      Go to the General tab page.
                            a.      Enter descriptions for the DataSource (short, medium, long).
                            b.      As required, specify whether the DataSource builds an initial non-cumulative and can return duplicate data records within a request.
                            c.      Specify whether you want to generate the PSA for the DataSource in the character format. If the PSA is not typed it is not generated in a typed structure but is generated with character-like fields of type CHAR only.
Use this option if conversion during loading causes problems, for example, because there is no appropriate conversion routine, or if the source cannot guarantee that data is loaded with the correct data type.
In this case, after you have activated the DataSource you can load data into the PSA and correct it there.
       4.      Go to the Extraction tab page.
                            a.      Define the delta process for the DataSource.
                            b.      Specify whether you want the DataSource to support direct access to data.
                            c.      Real-time data acquisition is not supported for data transfer from files.
                            d.      Select the adapter for the data transfer. You can load text files or binary files from your local work station or from the application server.
Text-type files only contain characters that can be displayed and read as text. CSV and ASCII files are examples of text files. For CSV files you have to specify a character that separates the individual field values. In BI, you have to specify this separator character and an escape character which specifies this character as a component of the value if required. After specifying these characters, you have to use them in the file. ASCII files contain data in a specified length. The defined field length in the file must be the same as the assigned field in BI.
Binary files contain data in the form of Bytes. A file of this type can contain any type of Byte value, including Bytes that cannot be displayed or read as text. In this case, the field values in the file have to be the same as the internal format of the assigned field in BI.
Choose Properties if you want to display the general adapter properties.
                            e.      Select the path to the file that you want to load or enter the name of the file directly, for example C:/Daten/US/Kosten97.csv.
You can also create a routine that determines the name of your file. If you do not create a routine to determine the name of the file, the system reads the file name directly from the File Name field.
                              f.      Depending on the adapter and the file to be loaded, make further settings.
■       For binary files:
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
■       Text-type files:
Specify how many rows in your file are header rows and can therefore be ignored when the data is transferred.
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
For ASCII files:
If you are loading data from an ASCII file, the data is requested with a fixed data record length.
For CSV files:
If you are loading data from an Excel CSV file, specify the data separator and the escape character.
Specify the separator that your file uses to divide the fields in the Data Separator field.
If the data separator character is a part of the value, the file indicates this by enclosing the value in particular start and end characters. Enter these start and end characters in the Escape Charactersfield.
You chose the; character as the data separator. However, your file contains the value 12;45 for a field. If you set u201C as the escape character, the value in the file must be u201C12;45u201D so that 12;45 is loaded into BI. The complete value that you want to transfer has to be enclosed by the escape characters.
If the escape characters do not enclose the value but are used within the value, the system interprets the escape characters as a normal part of the value. If you have specified u201C as the escape character, the value 12u201D45 is transferred as 12u201D45 and 12u201D45u201D is transferred as 12u201D45u201D.
In a text editor (for example, Notepad) check the data separator and the escape character currently being used in the file. These depend on the country version of the file you used.
Note that if you do not specify an escape character, the space character is interpreted as the escape character. We recommend that you use a different character as the escape character.
If you select the Hex indicator, you can specify the data separator and the escape character in hexadecimal format. When you enter a character for the data separator and the escape character, these are displayed as hexadecimal code after the entries have been checked. A two character entry for a data separator or an escape sign is always interpreted as a hexadecimal entry.
                            g.      Make the settings for the number format (thousand separator and character used to represent a decimal point), as required.
                            h.      Make the settings for currency conversion, as required.
                              i.      Make any further settings that are dependent on your selection, as required.
       5.      Go to the Proposal tab page.
This tab page is only relevant for CSV files. For files in different formats, define the field list on the Fields tab page.
Here you create a proposal for the field list of the DataSource based on the sample data from your CSV file.
                            a.      Specify the number of data records that you want to load and choose Upload Sample Data.
The data is displayed in the upper area of the tab page in the format of your file.
The system displays the proposal for the field list in the lower area of the tab page.
                            b.      In the table of proposed fields, use Copy to Field List to select the fields you want to copy to the field list of the DataSource. All fields are selected by default.
       6.      Go to the Fields tab page.
Here you edit the fields that you transferred to the field list of the DataSource from the Proposal tab page. If you did not transfer the field list from a proposal, you can define the fields of the DataSource here.
                            a.      To define a field, choose Insert Row and specify a field name.
                            b.      Under Transfer, specify the decision-relevant DataSource fields that you want to be available for extraction and transferred to BI.
                            c.      Instead of generating a proposal for the field list, you can enter InfoObjects to define the fields of the DataSource. Under Template InfoObject, specify InfoObjects for the fields in BI. This allows you to transfer the technical properties of the InfoObjects into the DataSource field.
Entering InfoObjects here does not equate to assigning them to DataSource fields. Assignments are made in the transformation. When you define the transformation, the system proposes the InfoObjects you entered here as InfoObjects that you might want to assign to a field.
                            d.      Change the data type of the field if required.
                            e.      Specify the key fields of the DataSource.
These fields are generated as a secondary index in the PSA. This is important in ensuring good performance for data transfer process selections, in particular with semantic grouping.
                              f.      Specify whether lowercase is supported.
                            g.      Specify whether the source provides the data in the internal or external format.
                            h.      If you choose the external format, ensure that the output length of the field (external length) is correct. Change the entries, as required.
                              i.      If required, specify a conversion routine that converts data from an external format into an internal format.
                              j.      Select the fields that you want to be able to set selection criteria for when scheduling a data request using an InfoPackage. Data for this type of field is transferred in accordance with the selection criteria specified in the InfoPackage.
                            k.      Choose the selection options (such as EQ, BT) that you want to be available for selection in the InfoPackage.
                              l.      Under Field Type, specify whether the data to be selected is language-dependent or time-dependent, as required.
       7.      Check, save and activate the DataSource.
       8.      Go to the Preview tab page.
If you select Read Preview Data, the number of data records you specified in your field selection is displayed in a preview.
This function allows you to check whether the data formats and data are correct.

Automated data load from APO to SEM transactional cube

Hi ,
We have BW-SEM system integrated with APO system.
I could see automated data loads from APO to SEM transactional cube ..
Infopackage name as "Request loaded using the APO interface without monitor log" ..
I don't see any infopackage by this name in both the systems ( APO & SEM )..
I am not sure how it configured ..
Appreciate any inputs on how its happens .....
Thanks in advance

Hi,
As I mentioned the starting point will be the tcode BPS0. There will be 2 planning areas created (if I am correct) one for SEM cube and the other for APO cube. The better way to find it will be goto tcode se16 and enter UPC_BW_AREA and key in the cube names in the cube field. this will give you the planning area names now look for a multiplanning area which has the 2 areas included in them (this is available in table UPC_AREAM).
then goto BPS0 and you will have to find which function is being used to post the data.
thanks

Data load from BPC into BI 7 cubes for Bex reporting

Hi,
Can we pull BPC planning data into the BI cubes so that Bex reports can be created for combined data from BPC cubes and BI cubes?
Also can we create Bex reports on BPC cubes just like we create for BI reporting cubes?
Let me also give an example of the scenario we face.
We have actuals data in a BI 7 basic cube(Actuals cube). Planning is done in BPC, so I understand that the planned data gets automatically stored in a BPC cube in BI7 system. I want to load the data from this BPC cube to BI Actuals cube and create a combined Bex report to show actuals and plan data.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Archana

AS of now, if you report data in the BPC7NW cubes through BEx, you may not get the same result as you get from BPC reports. The reason being BEx won't do the same calculations (for example sign reversals) that BPC client would do. In addition, you won't be able to report the results of the dimension member formulas when you report through BEx. If you have to get data out from BPC cubes to other cubes, you can go through SQE (shared query engine) and that way, yyour results will match with what you get in BPC reports. Once you get data out through SQE into other cubes, you can use BEx to report if you wish.
More functionality will be available in near future to accomplish BEx reporting for BPC data.
