Reduce snapshots in the cube

Hi gurus,
I need to run a job monthly so that it should delete the snapshot dates of a cube which are older than 90 days except weekend. Selection conditions for the cube is present day as Snapshot date.
Any fuction module is available to delete the requests of the particular snapshot dates.
Can any one help me on this issue.
Quick response is appreciated.
Thanks,
Subhakar.

Have you thought about running an infopackage with a selection date from the snapshot cube back in on itself and multiplying by -1?
Then with compression and zero elimination it does the same as a phusical delete - but it is "auditable"

How to reduce the run time of ABAP code (BADI) when it is reading huge data from BPC Cube and thus writing back huge data to the cube.

Hi All ,
In Case of reading huge amount of record from BPC Cube from BADI code , performing calculations and writing back huge amount of data into the cube , It takes lot of time . If there is any suggestion to read the data from Cube or writing data into the cube using some Parallel Processing methods , Then Please suggest .

Hi Gersh ,
If we have a specific server say 10.10.10.10 (abc.co.in) on which we are working, Then under RZ12 we make the following entry as :
LOGON GROUP          INSTANCE
parallel_generators        abc.co.in_10         ( Lets assume : The instance number is 10 )
Now in SM59 under ABAP Connections , I am giving the following technical settings:
TARGET HOST          abc.co.in
IP address                  10.10.10.10
Instance number          10
Now if we have a scenario of load balancing servers with following server details (with all servers on different instance numbers ) :
10.10.10.11
10.10.10.13
10.1010.10
10.10.10.15
In this case how can we make the RZ12 settings and SM59 settings such that we don't have to hardcode any IP Address.
If the request is redirected to 10.10.10.11 and not to 10.10.10.10 , in that case how will the settings be.
I have raised this question on the below thread :
How to configure RZ12 and SM59 ABAP connection settings when we have work with Load Balancing servers rather than a specific server .

Populating the key figure in the Cube

hi frineds,
I need to populated the custom key fiugre added by me in the cube using the update rule. But if i see the tables of the cube it is seperate for every dimension and key figure. how can i select the particular record from the key figure table with out the reference of the dimensions table.
Thanks
Prem

so you want to
1. read particular record from cube
2. populate the amount there.
but populating the amount directly to infocube is not advisable and not feasible as well.
my suggestion will be virtual infoprov based on transformation
you will have to write your logic there and you can populate the amount based on billing number (you said you have amount against billing number).
at query runtime based on transformation/logic your amount will be populated.
only drawback reduced query performance

Snapshot or yearly cubes

Hi,
We have an inventory cube 0IC_C03, we are deciding to make snapshot because of performance problems. we realised that when we have only 2007 data in the cube, queries run fine, but when we load 2006 and 2007 queries run very slow.
In this situation does snapshot improve performance? If not how can we divide cube into yearly cubes. because of opening stocks it mustn' be that easy to divide cube into years.
Thanks in advance,
Natalia

Hi,
In your case following may increase the query performance
- Partition can improve the performance
- Aggregates
- Setting up OLAP cache is the best for front time tuning

Basis for creating the dimension for the cube

Dear All,
I have one basic query.
We can build the ODS and pull data from source system to BW system. But now if i am suppose to build the Cube for my reporting then how do i make decision to build dimension for the cube?
I mean what are the parameters which we need to consider before we build the dimension for the cube and what type of objects will be there in each dimension??
Appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Anup.

Hi,
There is as no thmb rule for it. Generally we try to balance the dimension when we create them. For example, It is not advisable to include Material and Vendor in a single dimension.(otherwise it will lead to dimension explosion...large no. of records in a single dimension.)
The idea of dimension tables is to group associated characteristics to reduce the number of fields in the fact table and to reduce redundancies in storing frequent combinations of
characteristics values in a table. Examples of characteristics typically grouped into one dimension include Customer, Customer Group, and Zip Code grouped into a Customer
dimension, and Material, Material Group, Color grouped into a Material dimension.
A special case of a dimension is the line-item dimension, which is used for characteristics with a very high cardinality. Atypical example is the document number in a lineitem-
level InfoCube.

Can not find master data in the cube

ItemNo is an navigation attribute of 0Material. We are using 0material in a cube. When I display the cube data include ItemNo, I don't find the data I am looking for. For example:
In 0Material:
0Material      ItemNo    Description
AAA                001           Test
BBB                002           Test
In the cube I expect to see:
0Material             ItemNo            On Hand Qty
AAA                      001                      1000
BBB                      002                       2000
Instead I saw:
0Material             ItemNo            On Hand Qty
AAA                                                1000
BBB                                                2000
0Material got refreshed after cube data got loaded. Is that why I don't find the refreshed Master data?
Thank you!

Hi,
When you laod the cube, the Values for Master are automatically get created in the master data (If they are not present earlier and with "Data Update Type in the Data Tragets" setting in InfoPackage).
Now when you are loading your cube with 0Material and Item Number, the values for Item Number seems blank. Thats the reason why you are not able to see the Item Number in Cube though it is present in Master. Because now these are two different keys, one with Item Number value and other without Item Number value.

Yogesh.

Material type not getting displayed in the cube........

Hi,
In my infocube material type for one of the material is not getting displayed.
When I check in the content of the cube for this material all the fileds are getting displayed except material type.
However it is present in the material master data from which it is put into the update rules to populate in the cube.
Its getting displayed for some other materials , so we cant say that mapping is wrong or problem with update rules.
Can some body let me know what could be the reason.
Thanks,
Jeetu

Hi Jeetu,
can you check in your cube if you have for one material, entries with AND entries without the MATL_TYPE? If this is the case then you were loading transactional data before having the corresponding material master data.
You should adapt your scenario:
- first do not use the standard attribute derivation during your URules: performance is very bad.
- implement a start routine filling an internal table with your material and MATL_TYPE for all entries of material in your datapackage.
- implement an update routine on the MATL_TYPE with a READ on this internal table an raise an ABORT = 4 if the MATL_TYPE is initial or the material in not found.
Now to fix your situation you'll have to reload your cube or alternatively just reload your missing MATL_TYPE MATERIAL from your cube itself and selective delete those which are empty.
hope this helps...

Amount not getting displayed in the cube

Hi,
I have a ZTable which has got an Amount field declared like this.
AMOUNT WAERS CUKY 5 0 Currency Key
And I declared a ZAMOUNT as Amount in the cube and provided 0CURRENCY.
Initially there was no value in the Amount column in the Ztable and hence could not see any value of Amount in the cube.But after entering values in the ZTable, I deleted the replicated the DS, create TR, UR and then create an InfoPckg and then created the Data Transfer Process. But still I am not able to see the Amount Value in the cube.
Kindly Help
Sam..

> hi Sam,

Hi Edwin,
Assigning and mapping which you mentioned is just pulling an arrow from the left Amount to right ZAmount, right? I did that. But there is an additional 0Currency on the right side without getting mapped? Should I map that also to Amount? Any issue with Rules.

Fields in the cube

Hi Experts
Here client wants 200 fields in cube
whether that is suggestable help me in this
Regards
Anand

Hi,
Its possible to have that many fields in the cube, but you have to consider what the reporting requirements are and how the data is connected, etc. You also have to consider how much data volume is going to be generated and at what level you are going to store the data in the cube. If your client is suggesting you to have line item level or granular data in your cube , suggest to them to have that in an ODS and provide jump queries from the cube to the ODS if necessary.
If many of the fields are not going to be required for reporting at present or in the future, suggest to the client to have them in the ODS and a smaller subset of the fields in the cubes.

How to Delete the dimension from the cube ?

Hi ,
how to Delete the dimension from the cube ?
i have added the new dimension by assiging one characteristic to that dimension .
now i want to delete it ,
but system saying that Dimension ZXXX contains InfoObjects; deletion not possible .
how to delete it ? any help .
Thanks

Make sure you donot have any data in cube. If you have some data in cube, then you will not be able to see Delete option.
Right click on the cube-->Delete data.
Then double click on the cube>Goto Edit mode> select the IO under that Dimension> right click> now you will be able to see the Delete option (provided you have deleted all the date from Cube)
Then right click on Dimension-->Delete

Could not see the data in the cube

Hi all,
Iam trying to load data from one cube to another. Everything is fine but Iam not able to see the data in the new cube.
I created 2 cubes--> Cube A new & cube B new which are copied from existing cubes cube A and Cube B. I need to load data from these new cubes cube Anew & cube B new to another cube (cube C new) which is also a copy of existing cube C. I created update rules and activated them.I tried to load the data into the cube C new. I can see the load to be green but I cannot see the data in the cube C new. it shows 0 records in cube C new. there are records in cube A new & cube B new.
Can anyone plz help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Preethi.

Hi Balu,
I dont know what exactly the problem was but even after the load was successful i could not see any records in the new cube. The source cubes had 60,446 and 7595 records. but the target cube had 0 records.
I ran the program SAP_FACTVIEWS_RECREATE as Bhanu suggested and deleted the data from the new cube(inspite of having 0 records I deleted them). I tried to load the data again which was successful and I could see the data in the new cube.
Hope its clear.
Thanks,
Preethi.

Could not see loaded data in the Cube

Hi Gurus,
Pl. help me in this: I am not able to get teh data loaded into the cube. In PSA it is loaded right. after that I created Transformation on InfoCube and I got Proposal Generated. Then I created DTP and executed, and monitor shows green. but when I right click on the cube and look for data(also maintain master data on InfoObject), I see only the headers of the table but no data is displayed.
I hope you have similar situations. Thanking you in advance.

Check if the request is reportable, sometimes the load could be fine, but the request may not be reportable. Make sure in your start routine you don't have a routine which will filter or delete the data out from the cube before it gets update.
thanks.

Data in the cube/ ODS?

Hi all,
I would like to ask one simple question. Can someone tell me how to check if infocube/ ODS contains data (instead of checking it by runing reports in BW Analyzer). Thank you.
Best wishes,
John

Hi John,
In RSA1, find your cube or ODS > right click > Manage > Requests tab. Here you can see the data that has been loaded to the object.
You can also move to the contents tab and look at the contents from here, or at least click on Number of records to get an idea of the volume of data.
Or in SE16 > /BI/AYrODS00 for the ODS active data table and /BI/FYrCubefor the cube fact table.
Hope this helps...
