Regarding Info cube and DSO

Hi,
Generally reporting will be done on Info Cube rather than DSO.
Suppose If we assign the same data source to Info Cube and DSO then both contains the same data.
Info cube have additive and aggregated functionality where DSO have the overwrite functionality .
Are we using cube for this functionality only ?
What about the Dimensions in Cube how they differ from data fields and key fields in DSO when we are developing same Bex Report on both ?
Please advice me .
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramnaresh.p

It is hard to compare Cube and DSO.
Both thier own usage.
1. InfoCube is always additive, while DSO supports overwrite functionality.
2. In InfoCube, combination of all the characteristic value is a Key in the Fact Table, while in ODS, you can specify your own Key Fields based on which you want to generate unique record in the DSO.
3. DSO supports many delta modes like D, R, N, X, after image, before image, while cube does not support all the modes. You can not delete the record based on the key from the cube by just loading the data. While DSO automaitcally deletes the record from active table and generates the reverse entry for Cube.
4. DSO is a flat structure and therefore, it is used to store information at detail level, while cube is used to store information at aggregated level.
So both the structures are very much different from each other. One can replace other at some places, but both the objects have thier own functionality.

Deltas in cubes and dsos

hello, i have a question about delta-enabled datasources. there is a table roosource so in that table if i put in some datasources they are not data-enabled but when i go in bw i see cubes built off of those datasources bringing deltas how is it possible?

Hi,
You might be talking about the Delta DTP requests in Cube manage.
If you could check the source for this Cube, the source will be getting loaded with the full requests and this cube DTP will be bringing that Full load in the Delta Request.
Even if the Cube is loaded directly from Datasource, it picks the latest PSA request loaded, irrespective of its a Full request or Delta from SAP R/3. So this load from Datasource to Cube is Delta and has got very little to the type of Datasource.

How the data is stored in Info cube...in the back end what will happen???

Hi Experts,
How the data is stored in Info cube and DSO...in the back end what will happen???
I mean Cube contain Fact table and Dimension tables How the data will store and what will happen in the backend???
Regards,
Swetha.

Hi,
Please check :
How is data stored in DSO and Infocube
InfoCubes are made up of a number of InfoObjects. All InfoObjects (characteristics and key figures) are available independent of the InfoCube. Characteristics refer to master data with their attributes and text descriptions.
An InfoCube consists of several InfoObjects and is structured according to the star schema. This means there is a (large) fact table that contains the key figures for the InfoCube, as well as several (smaller) dimension tables which surround it. The characteristics of the InfoCube are stored in these dimensions.
An InfoCube fact table only contains key figures, in contrast to a DataStore object, whose data part can also contain characteristics. The characteristics of an InfoCube are stored in its dimensions.
The dimensions and the fact table are linked to one another using abstract identification numbers (dimension IDs) which are contained in the key part of the particular database table. As a result, the key figures of the InfoCube relate to the characteristics of the dimension. The characteristics determine the granularity (the degree of detail) at which the key figures are stored in the InfoCube.
Characteristics that logically belong together (for example, district and area belong to the regional dimension) are grouped together in a dimension. By adhering to this design criterion, dimensions are to a large extent independent of each other, and dimension tables remain small with regards to data volume. This is beneficial in terms of performance. This InfoCube structure is optimized for data analysis.
The fact table and dimension tables are both relational database tables.
Characteristics refer to the master data with their attributes and text descriptions. All InfoObjects (characteristics with their master data as well as key figures) are available for all InfoCubes, unlike dimensions, which represent the specific organizational form of characteristics in one InfoCube.

E Recruitment Info Cubes

Hi All,
We got E Recruitment on a separate box, does any one knew about the Standard Info Cubes [if there is any] and Data Sources for Info Cubes?
regards
Raj

Hi Yasemin,
Thanks for the info.
I got the DSO's you listed.Standard content also delivered the Info Sets on which the queries are dependent.
My requirement is to report on Multi Provider
The following are some of the options in mind
1. Creating Multi provider on the Info Sets -but this is going to effect my query performance.
2. Using the standard delivered queries in APD and push them to standard DSO and further to Info Cube and Create the Multi provider- thats going to be a long Data Flow.
Let me know if you got Any solutions,
regards
Raj

Data in ODS, Info cube ans Multiprovider(List cube) are in Sync.

Hi,
My query is built on multiprovider. The data flow is data source u2013 ODS then ODS u2013 Info cube and multiprovider contains Info cube only.
Data in ODS, Info cube ans Multiprovider(List cube) are in Sync.
The query results are not tie up ODS, Info cube ans Multiprovider(List cube).
Any one let me know why this is happening and how do I resolve it.

Sharma.

HI;
thanks for help.
I resolved the issue in my own.

How to tell record amount in Cube or DSO in GB

All,
I me trying to figure out how to see data amount in cubes and DSOs in GB. I appreciate any help.

Thanks for your reply Srikanth. I do not have DB02 access however I do have access to ORA_COCKPIT. What I see there is SPACE->Tablespaces-Overview
Detailed Analysis
I remember there was a program for cubes which was showing data amount for the cubes but not for the DSOs. I cannot recall the program name

How to populate values in DP key figure which is not present in Info Cube

Hi
We have a special Key figure in Demand Planning created for uplaoding Forecasts coming directly from customer,
This key figure is not present in Info Cube and data doesnot pupulate in this key figure through Info cube build,
Hence data in this key figure is to be loaded externally , Customer sends his forecasts through EDI messages, Now we want to update forecast from external customer in to this special key figure,
Please suggest some ways
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Lavhe

Hi
I think you can get loaded this information in the cube in any other key figure which is available in the info cube. Then while loading the data into planning area using TSCUBE, you can define the key figure assignment.
In which you define data from which key figure of infocube has to be get loaded into which key figure of planning area. Here you can define the respective key figures.
Please let us know if it helps you. Please let us know if you require any more information from our side.

Data is not loaded into info cube

Hi All,
I have a custom defined info cube and full load is running every month and It's hardly taking 1 hour to finish the same.
But this month data came to PSA successfully from there to data target process stopped at update rules, non of the records are getting added to info cube. We haven't done any changes on update rules also.
Can anybody let me know what might be the reason behind it. Thanks.
Regards,
Ashok
Message was edited by: Ashok kaipu

Hi Ashok,
You can do the following:
1. In the Monitor Status tab, turn the request Red.
2. In the Details tab right click this data package and choose Manual Update.
3. After the processing is done, the datapackage will be green but the overall request will still be red.
4. In the Monitor Status tab, turn the request back to original status (this will make it green)
Hope this helps...

Is it possible to use same data source for two info cube

Hi,
My Problem is in BW we can not have value of material at storage location level.In R/3 also value is maintained at plant level.
Then we searched and we found out one hot to doc for summarized display of stock values on storage location level.
Problem is that we have gone live in last December and we are using " 0AFMM_C02 " and it contains around 1,81,26,000 records. and according to note we have to use
"0IC_C03".
Both the cube uses same data sources for the data.So, how to get the data for "0IC_C03".
and how to delete the data of existing info cube.And is it possible to delete data selectively from the info cube.
Pls. help.
Regards,
viren.

Hi,
You can't create update rule from PSA.You can create from the infosource or from ODS or from cube to cube or ODS to ODS.
In your scenario, what you can do is create update rules from the ODS to the new cube and then transfer the data from there. Or from the Infosource create rules to the new data target and then upload the full data and then set up the delta.
Third option is to create update rules from the existing cube to the new cube and then load all the data one time. Then you can deactivate the update rules as that was needed only for 1 time data transfer.

Problem In creating link between info source to DSO(Urgent)

Dear Experts,
I am facing an problem in creating an link between info source and DSO.My problem is: I am actually loading data from R/3 into two data sources 2lis_01_s951 and 2lis_01_s952 there is a need for me to calcualte revenue % i.e diving revenue by qty from different data sources so i created one Info Source for 2 data sources,So i am facing a problem in creating an link from Info Source to DSO.Is there any other way to solve this problem.
Points will be awarded.
Regards,
Shivu.

Shivu,
Im suggesting either of the following 2 solutions. Both of them require some abap programming.
A. Permanently store calculation result in DSO :
A1) Youll need to decide which of the 2 DSOs you want to store the result of the % calculation, then add a new infoobject for that purpose;
A2) Load ALL the data into the DSO that will NOT store the result of the % calculation; lets call this DSO DSO1. The data records in this DSO will be retrieved later on when loading the other DSO;
A3) For the DSO that will store the result of the % calculation (lets call this DSO DSO2), create a transformation rule (i.e. update rule) that will SELECT the related data record from DSO1 and carry out the calculation before storing the data record in DSO2 ( this can also be done in the Start Routine to loop through all the data records of a packet.)
B. Carry out the calculation at query time :
B1) Create a multiprovider (i.e. multicube or infoset) to combine your infocubes or DSOs together. Keep in mind that a multicube works as a union of the infoproviders, while an Infoset works as a join of the infoproviders.
B2) Create a formula in your query to calculate the %.
Hope this helps.
