Re:ODS-Key fileds and data fields

When we get data from r/3, I know we can have data fileds blank but can we have key fields also balnk ???

Jack,
Loading Sales Order Header, Item and Scheduline into same ODS(Keys: Header, Item & SCL)
But why you want to load like that..? Not good approach.

Infoset Join condition on Key feilds and data fields

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to biuld the Info set with join conditon on two DSO's the info objects which i am using in the JOin condition are defined as data fieds in one DSO and defined as key fields in another DSO, is it possible to define join condition on key fields and data fields.
The two info objects are
                       0AC_DOC_NO
                       0ITEM_NUM
These two info objects are defined as data fields in DSO :   0LIV_DS1   Invocie verificaion
                                                        key fields in DSO:    0FIAP_0o3 FI AP Line Item
Please suggest me is it possible to define join the condtion on the data fields and key feilds.
Thanks
Best regards
SG

Hi
yes you can create join, you will get any issue in reporting level.
example: Say i want to create Info Set on 0MATERIAL and Sales DSO.
In 0MATERIAL Info Object it is key filed, but in my DSO 0MATERIAL is data field.Still we can create
Creation of join is dependent on fields common in your source objects.

Difference b/w KEY FILEDS and DATA FILEDS

Hello Experts...!
What is the difference between char , KF and keyfields and data fileds...?
we are going to map this in the ODS concept.
char to keyfileds.
keyfig to datafields.
regards,
amit.

Hai Amit,
In ODS Key fields means the Primary keys characteristics.
So when ever we map the primary key characteristics (ie characteristics on which some info objects are dependent) should be assigned to key fields
and to data fields the Key figure Infoobjects as well as characteristics which does not have the primary/in-dependent fileds

Key Fields and Data Fields in ODS

Hi Guru's ,
Can u Explain what are Key Field's and Data Field's in ODS,and How they work.
Thanx in Advance.

Hi Pradeep,
An ODS key fields forms a unique combination of chars according to which data in the ODS will be summed up. Data fields are additional fields, chars or key figures.
For example, you have the following key fields:
Doc No, Doc line item (item no in the doc) and you load the following data:
Doc# Item# Amount CALDAY
1234 1        100       26.09.2005
1234 1        150       27.09.2005
1234   2        300      27.09.2005
1235   1        400      27.09.2005
The first two rows with the same key fields (1234-1) will be aggregated and into ODS will go amount of 250.
What I said is true if for Amount key figure the Add option is set.
But if you set an Overwrite option, then the second record will overwrite the first one and only amount of 150 will go to ODS!
But if CALDAY is also a key field, then into ODS will go all records without any aggregation, because key fields combination is different for all records.
So, ODS key fields choice and KFs settings are very important for data aggregation in the ODS.
Best regards,
Eugene

Key fields and data fields re-arranged

Hello SDN,
Which design contains more records due to it showing more granularity? :
1. ODS with more infoobjects assigned as Keys.
2. ODS with less infoobjects assigned as Keys.
assuming the total number of infoobjects remain the same.
Where data fields can contain characteristics that can be used as keys or non-keys, depending on choice of design.
My understanding is with more keys, less details available due to aggregation. Could you kindly help to confirm this is correct?
I need to ask this because I am trying to change the re-arrange the keys by putting data fields as keys but not sure how this will turn out / behave.
Thanks,
Suzie

Hi,
BUT! I cannot say that it will increase. That means, I think the record number remains the same!
I do not think that this is Right?
for ex:
1)
Key fields:
Billing document
Data Fields
Sales Office
Customer
Net sales
So in the update rules , you can see the Overwrite for all Data fields. If the sales office is chaged for a record , the the OLD value will be over written by new value. So Before and after change to the records, the no of records are equal to 1.
2)
Key fields:
Billing document
Sales Office
Data Fields
Customer
Net sales
So in the update rules , you can see the Overwrite for all Data fields(now not for 'Sales Office'). If the sales office is chaged for a record , the the OLD value will not be over written by new value. It creates 2 records in Active table with respect to one change in new table. So Before the change , the no of records was 1.now after change, the records' number becomes 3.

DSO - What key fields and data fields in dso

Hi experts,
I need to create a dso in between the cube and 2 data sources(2lis_11_vaitm, 2lis_12_vcscl) to stage the data. My question is: what key fields and data fields to choose for the dso? is there a standard dso to copy? please explain in detail the model to set up, whether to connect both the ds's to dso and then to cube or one ds to dso and the other to the cube. more details will help.

Check this for standard DSO:

Key fields and data fields in a DSO ??

i have a question regarding key fields and data fields in a Standard DSO...
i am using 2 datasources to build a open sales report 2LIS_11_VASTH and 2LIS_11_VASTI i am pulling in data from these 2 data sources to a DSO and i am wondering what infoobjects should be in the key fields and data fields .....does this reflect back to table VBUK and VBUP tables and does the key field in the DSO have to be the key fields in VBUK and VBUP tables ???? or what really should be included as key fields and data fields ????
please help....

If you look at the various SD tables, VBELN and POSNR are commonly used as the document number and document line item.
For VBAP and VBUP, it's referring to the Sales Order Line Item with the columns VBELN and POSNR as the key for both tables. However, if you look at the LIPS table, which is the Delivery Line Item table, it too has VBELN and POSNR as the key. Likewise, the VTTP table, which is the Shipment Line Item table, also has VBELN and POSNR as the key.
While using RSOSFIELDMAP as a map is a fairly good "rule of thumb", it still needs to be used with a level of skepticism.

Prerequsites for deciding Key fields and data fields

Hi
I would like to know the criteria to decide upon KEY fields and Data fields for an infoprovider.

Hi,
What is a Key field in a Database and How should I choose one?
Keys are crucial to a table structure for many reasons, some of which are identified below:
They ensure that each record in a table is precisely identified.
They help establish and enforce various types of integrity.
They serve to establish table relationships.
Datafields may be Charecteristics and it may be keyfigures

Identify key fields and data fields

Hi
i have datasource 0co_om_cca_9 .
i want build 1 DSO, how can i identify what are key fields and data fields to build DSO based on that datasource.

Hi sunnel,
The DSO are like 2-D database tables.
We use the technical keys here in counterpart to the business keys in Infocubes.
The key fields are the one based on which the records are identified uniquely in the database table.
And the data fields are the ones which are aggrgated or summarised or overwritten based on the value in key filed.
For example:
The ID no.s of the employees will be unique and it can be used as a key field.
The feilds like the Salary taken by the employee every month :"SALARY"
and the no. of leaves they taken: " NO. OF LEAVES" can be used as data fields.
So that the salary or the leaves taken by a particular employee can be aggregated based on her/his ID no.
The key fields in DSO doesnty mean Key figures.The key field means any unique key or a key based on which the records are sorted in the DSO
And key figures are the data fields.Some of the Characteristics can also be data fields in DSO.
Please give points if u r satisfied wit the information
Also let me know if u hav any doubt and if any thing is wrong.

Kalpana M

Defining Key -field and data fields

Hi all
i have to define Key-Fields and data-Fields for a DSO(say DSO3).
DSO1 is a combination of DSO2 and DSO3..
DSO1 and DSO2 are SAP defined DSOs.
DSO3 is a User defined DSO.
my assumption:
   DSO3 has 30 fields
   DSO2 has 16 fields.
   can i create the DSO3 with remaining 14 fields which is there in DSO1?
   or i have to create the DSO3 with 30 fields(all DSO1 fields).
can any body explain....
Thanks & Regards
krishna

The problem is not how many fields you create where, the issue is where is the data is going to come from.
Since you data is going from DSO3 to DSO1and if the field is already getting populated in DSO1 from DSO2, then you don't have to worry about populating those fields again, unless and otherwise you want to overwrite them.
Remember any fields exist in both DSO3 and DSO2 which overlapping will be overwritten by the latest update.
Again, going back to your question, you should consider does your datasource has missing fields (14 of them).
thanks.

Chart report Condition fields and Data fields

Hi all,
i have tried chart report by adding two condion fields and one data field, the report is more meaning full in this scenario. the first condition field is taken as x-axis, the 2nd condition fields is taken as legend.
while adding more condition fields and data fields, i feel its not showing meaningfull data.
can anyone explain how the condition fields and data fileds are manipulated by crystal report.
i am using CR XI R2 Server.
Thanks
Padmanaban V

i am using Crystal Report XI R2 RAS Embedded in my server.
as we can add any number condition fields programatically using the method
ConditionField.Add(FieldObj), i would like to know how these fields are manipulated internally by the RAS server.
that means, what is the significance of condition fieldobject 1, condition fieldobject 2,condition fieldobject 3 etc...
if i add more than two condition fields , RAS Chart Report always returns 0 as legend value for all legends.
Thanks in advance

Padmanaban V

Create Multiple Signature and Date fields with a custom Toolbar Button

First off, thanks in advance! I am a scripting newbie and I am trudging my way through with very little experience with scripting of any kind. I am good at taking other's scripts and forming them into something I need, but I can't seem to find anything to do what I want.
Using Adobe Acrobat X, I am trying to create a toolbar button that I can press to create multiple signature and date fields with predetermined locations.
Below is the script I have that is working to create just a single signature box, but I can't seem to figure out the exact syntax to have that same button create multiple fields. In total it is 9 signature fields and 9 date fields need to be created. If you can just give me an example of what the button would look like with multiple scripts? I was assuming I would set up multiple variables and then in the cExec property of the toolbar button I could just call out all of those variables?
var sigswm = "addField('sigSWM', 'signature', '0', [108, 198, 494.64, 72])"
app.addToolButton({cName: "dotbutton", cExec: sigswm, cLabel: "Place Signature and Date Blocks",});
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Billy Sweeney

Thanks! That was probably the only thing I didn't try.
I do have one more question. What I want is when the signature field is clicked it fills out a specific date field. I beleive the script I want would be:
var currentTime = new Date()
    var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
    var day = currentTime.getDate()
    var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
    var signingTime = day +"/"+month+"/"+year
    var f = this.getField("dateSWM");
    f.value = signingTime;
I found this on another thread that mentioned it could be placed in the Signed tab of the signature properties dialog. I am assuming it would be placed in my button script file as a setAction script for each signature, but I am not real sure exactly where or how?

Difference between Key feilds and Data fileds in ODS

Hi team,
What is diff between data fields and Key fileds in ODS ?.
Pl let me know.
Regards,
Senthil

Hi
Key fields:
Unique identification of record: uniqueness of a record in ods is maintained by how you define the key fiedls in the ods. key fields in the ods are equal to the primany indexes on a table.
If you activate the ODS it will generate a Table with Primarykey which you defined in the ODS.
Datafields:
data fields that can also contain character fields and keyfigures.

ODS Key Fields and Data Fields

Hi Gurus,
While creating an ODS how do we decide whether a characteristic has to be defined as a key field or a data field.
Thanks,
KR

Hi KG,
Key fields in the DSO are the primary keys in the active data table, depending on the keyfields the data in the aggregates will be overwrited.
It depends on the requirement we will decide what are the keyfields has to be taken. To utilise the overwrite functionality of the DSO depending on the data which is coming into bw we take keyfields. If u are using DSO as a staging then u have to lookinto the corresponding tables of the DSO, what are the primary keys in those tables..
