Reporting on Transactional Cube

Is it possible to do a Query on a transactional Infocube while a user is running its manual planning on that Cube?
Thanks in advance.
Fabio

Hi,
Yes its possible to query on the transactional infocube, while another user is entering data as you are just viewing data in the query, not updating. Just include the variable 0S_RQMRC on Request Id characteristic to get the most current data.
Hope it helps.
Cheers

Was told not to report off transaction planning cubes

Hello there,
we recently implemented Hyperion Planning and have 3 Essbase cubes: Planning, Capex, and workforce. We want to hook OBIEE up to the cubes for reporting. We have been told it is not best practice to report off the same cubes we're transacting in. How should we go about building reporting cubes? Is it as simple as "backing up" or copying our transactional cubes?

It is always better to restrict the planning application for the planning operations and providing the reqd reporting applications for the reporting purposes.
This will avoid the unnecessary conflict b/w the planning and reporting cycles.
In the planning 11.1.1.2 there is inbuilt feature of mapping the planning cubes for the reporting application(ASO applications).
Under covers it works like this
It extract the required set of data from the planning cube by genaratiing and executing calc script into a text file.
After that it will format the data file to map the reporting cube and dimensionality and load into the reporting cube.
Insteade of using this in built feature we can provide the better automated customi interface for our application with three regularly used components
1. data export calc script
2. Rule file to map the exported file with the reporting cube.
3. MaxL file.
If you are using the same dimension structure for the reporting cube as of planning cube except hsp_rates and currency dimensions.
You can try this as well.
1. creating bso-aso replicated partition(suppoerted in essbase 11)
2. replicate data
3. drop replicate data

Remote and Transactional Cube

Dear Friends,
How a Basic Cube differs from a Transactional and Remote Cube ?
A Small Example- Cube Carries the Transaction data of Customer ,Material, Sales details ( characteristics) and price, Quantity and Revenue (keyfigures) .
When do we Really have to Change or to Create the Other Cubes to hold those Data ?
What is the Exact Purpose that a Scenario Needs the Remote and Transactional Cube ?
I hope Remote Cube Can be created with "Infoservices" and "Source system" . What is the demand for both these options?
Thanks well in advance ,
Ramesh

hi,
Remotecbue will have only structure and It does't hold any data.
and it is used to bring live data to BW ..At the time of reporting only the data fetches from the source system. So it takes more time to execute.
it will not hav update rules...
Transactional InfoCubes are used only in conjunction with SEM. The data from this kind of InfoCube is accessed transactionally, meaning data is written to the InfoCube (possibly by several users at the same time) and reread as soon as possible. Basic InfoCubes are not suitable for this. You should use Basic InfoCubes for read-only access (for example, when reading reference data).

How to create a Transactional Cube in BW 7.0

Hi people:
I'm working with version 7.0 and SEM 6.0 . The help of sap tells that i can create a transactional cube in an option of a check box during de copy of a cube (It works with version 3.5).
Today i'm very surprised when trying to create a transactional cube and this option isn't avaliable.I try to search an option in the administrator workbench, but i didn't see anything.
Does anybody knows if the transaccional cubes still alive in this version? If the answer is yes, can anybody please tell me de procedure to create them?
Thanks in advanced. Points for helpfull answers

Hi,
Creating a Real-Time InfoCube
When creating a new InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench, select the Real-Time indicator.
Converting a Standard InfoCube into a Real-Time InfoCube
Conversion with Loss of Transaction Data
If the standard InfoCube already contains transaction data that you no longer need (for example, test data from the implementation phase of the system), proceed as follows:
1. In the InfoCube maintenance in the Data Warehousing Workbench, from the main menu, choose InfoCube ® Delete Data Content. The transaction data is deleted and the InfoCube is set to inactive.
2. Continue with the same procedure as with creating a real-time InfoCube.
Conversion with Retention of Transaction Data
If the standard InfoCube already contains transaction data from the production operation that you still need, proceed as follows:
Execute ABAP report SAP_CONVERT_NORMAL_TRANS under the name of the corresponding InfoCube. Schedule this report as a background job for InfoCubes with more than 10,000 data records because the runtime could potentially be long.

How to write plan data into Transactional Cube from Visual Composer ?

Dear experts,
Visual Composer is very powerfull to build a 'nice-looking' web-report (I think is much better than Web Application Designer in term of freely position the chart/graph/table/selection parameter in anywhere we like. We can't have this flexibility in WAD) plus it also has strong integration to R/3 for posting the transactions via RFC-Enabled Function Module (such as changing customer credit limit, approve PO, approve Sales Order, etc), so that the R/3 user won't even have to know the TrxCode.
In addition to this, I just wondering if VC also capable to write plan data into transactional cube via Write-Enable Query. We can simply insert a BW Query into VC as planning layout (set the edit-mode to "editable") plus having some Wizards to make it more user-friendly and self-explanatory for the users.
But I am not sure how to save the changes back to transactional cube from VC.
Could anyone please kindly advise how to achieve this.
"Seeing is believing" is always my learning method, so I would appreciate some "actioanable" explanation or hints.
Many thanks,
Sen

Hi Sen,
As far as I know, it's not possible to write data into transactional cubes directly from a table in Visual Composer through standar method, but it's possible to integrate a WAD with your input ready query into a URL element in VC (You can fill entry variables in VC and call WAD dinamically), so it's possible to create a planning application in VC calling dinamically WAD's.
Another way to interact through VC is creating button objects that calls planning sequences (with BAPI calling RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE). Also can fill variables in VC and pass them to sequence.

Enrique

InfoCube QM Status=Green before Reporting on BPS Cube

Matez,
As I understand, that an InfoCube needs to have it`s QM status to be =Green, before any query can be executed on the Info Cube.
So, for BPS Cubes, as I understand that the QM Status will only turn Green once, 50000 records has been written .
Please advice if I`m able to report on the BPS INfoCube while the Status QM = Yellow
Thanking in advance !

As Anurag mentions, for queries that need to pick up the most recent information from an open (yellow) Request, you need to include the Most Recent Data variable.
As I recall, what happens is there is one database query the reads the open request and another that reads the rest of the fact table ( or two if you have compressed some of the Requests into the E fact table.
If you have an aggregate created on the transaction cube, the BW is smart enough to go get the data from the open Request and then get the rest of the data from the aggregate.

How to load data in realtime/transactional cube for BPS

hello all,
I have installed the neccessary cube from business content and all the neccesary content. how do I get data in that real time/transactional cube. SInce we dont have any rules or datasource or anything so its confusing me can someone please help me.
If you have any other imp point to share about this please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi Raj,
Transactional cubes are filled with data using the BPS layouts. They do not require any update rules for this purpose.
However you can also load the data from your source system into this cube and for this you will need to usual Update rules, InfoSource etc. Before loading data you may need to check if the Cube is enabled for Reporting (in RSA1 > right click> Swtich transactional cube.
Hope this helps...

Beginner in BPS- Transactional Cube - Data

Hi All,
I am presently working on a project on BPS.
and i am beginner to this area.we are supposed to create some Queries in Bex, I was intially thinking much of knowledge is required about BPS for the work I am doing.
but in one of the meeting i came to know that, the query in bex takes some of the data from InfoCube ( Transactional ) and some data from BPS.
Now I am confused. my questions are
1. Is that the case? some data from Txn InfoCube and some data from BPS? If yes, where from BPS?
2.whats the source ?
3.how do we check the data present in BPS?
4.(and some million q's like this)
can anyone please answer some of these Questions or redirect me to some of the resources where i can find answer to these questions.
any kind of help will be appreciated( with points )
Thanks
AB

Hi,
In BPS while creating the planning area in tcode BPS0, you need to give the transaction cube name .
The data which you are entering in the layout will be stored in the transaction cube.
The main difference between the transaction cube and basic cube is that in transaction cube you can read and also write the data and this is not possible with basic cubes as you can only read but cannot write the data.
We have an option to switch the Tranasaction cube such as "Loding allowed and Planning not allowed" and "Planning allowed and loading not allowed".
Once you entered the data in BPS layout, you need to swicth the transaction cube to make the request from yellow to green.
You can use this data for reporting.
Hope this helps.

Incorrect product in the transactional cube for opportunity planning data.

Hi,
We're loading our Opportunity planning data of CRM in a transactional cube in BW side. Later this transactional cube data is then uploaded into a standard cube.
For an opportunity, user enter some planning data for a given product (A). which was duly stored in transactional and then later in the standard cube. Then user deleted the product (A) and entered a new product (B) on CRM side. However in the transactional cube, records for the previous product (A) also exist and the same flows to the standard cube as well.
Fyi, delta load mechanism is in place for loading of both types of cubes.
Could someone throw some light why the old item (product A) is still there in the cubes. coz this gives a wrong picture in the report, though the key figures for product A are 0.
Regards,
Nagendra.

A daily compression would remove the loading details of the cube that are visible to us for any back-tracking, Normally we do the compression for load requests older than 2 weeks.
But the suggestion is good, incase i do not come up with any other soln, will think of implementing this.
Maybe my delta load knowledge is not good enough.
Please answer the following.
What happens, when we're using standard data sources (with delta load) for loading data from (say) CRM to BW and for a given header guid, a item guid record is later deleted in CRM. On BW side, whether this item_guid record will still be present in the cube or be deleted.
Regards,
Nagendra.

System is creating multiple transaction cubes at the backend for one BPCApp

Hi
in one of the planning application, we have done a full optimization 8 times , out of that 5 times it came as error and 3 times it has successful.
Now when we are sending the data through the Input Schedule it's shoiwng success and also the Data Manager package is also shoiwng success with the data showing witing back to the data base.
But when the user is showing the report there is no data.
So when we went to check the back end, we saw 7 transactional cubes with different technical name and 1 transactional cube with a _B sign associated with it, showing as a virtual info provider.
Since the multi provider is not getting changed due to ful optimization we tried to figure out the very recent transactional cube by double clicking on the same and when we try to find the data with respect to data send we couldn't find any data.
What can be the reasons of creating multiple transactional cubes for a BPC planning application. And how to do we know which is the current cube for the respective BPC Planning application after the last Full Optimization.
Regards
Krish

Hi Nilanjan
Wish you a very happy new year.
I need to get it clarifed with the team whether they have aborted in between the Full Optimization process. Becuase i remember in one of the earlier engagement , we have aborted the modify application application and it cretaed multipple cubes at the back and subsequently SAP has suggested to delete the other cubes keeping the correct one.Can you elucidate the relevance of the _B Virtual Info provider from the rationale perspective, why its required them.
I shall update you on the same.
Thanks
Krish

Transaction Cubes

Hello,
I am not able to find the option of switching from transaction cube to basic cube and vise versa in BI 7.0.Also I need some documents on trancastion cube in BI 7.0.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First check whether your cube is basic cube or transactional cube??
If it is a basic cube, you won't find that option. Inorder to convert that basic cube to transactional cube you can use the below std report SAP_CONVERT_NORMAL_TRANS..
If it is transactional cube, you can use the below function module to convert the loading process to plan process and vice versa..
FM : RSAPO_SWITCH_TRANS_TO_BATCH - Changing from transactional to loading process
FM : RSAPO_SWITCH_BATCH_TO_TRANS - Changing from Loading to transactional .
Hope it helps.

Siva.

What is the diff b/w transactional cube and std cube

What is the diff b/w transactional cube and std cube

Hi Main differences,
1) Trasactional infocube are optimized for writing data that is multiple user can simultaneously write data into it without much effect on the performance where as the std infocube are optimized to read the data ie.e through queries.
2) transactional inofcubes can be loaded through SEM process as well normal laoding process.Std can be loaded only thorugh normal loading process.
3) the way data is stored is same but the indexing and partionong aspects are different since one is optimized for writing and another one for reading.
Thanks

Standard Report or Transaction for Outstanding Purchased Materials?

Hello,
Is there a report or transaction that could be used to see a list of all pending purchased material requirements with requirement date?
So, pending Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Orders with a required delivery date? We want to create shortage lists for manufacturing.
(think like COOIS where you can see planned and production orders, but for purchased parts)
Thanks very much,
Timothy

Hi Ramagiri,
Thanks so much for your help. These are the two transactions I was trying to use... unfortunately I ran into a couple of problems...
I tried selecting only specific WBS elements in ME2L using the dynamic selection, and it didn't return any documents (I know this is incorrect)... so I ran it without the dynamic selection and just applied a filter, which is ok.
However, I can't find the MRP requirement date anywhere in this report, which is the main point - we are trying to find PO's that are later than MRP requirements. I can see the delivery date only if I open each PO from the results of ME2L search. Did I explain that problem ok?
Thanks again,
Timothy

Reporting on Virtual Cube - DTP Authorisation is required??

Hi all,
Say there is a Virtual Cube V, i have multiprovider on top of it M, When i am running report on this M, it is saying as there should authorization to run the DTP's.
Is it necessary to have DTP authorizations, to run a report on Virtual cube??
Please let me know how to overcome this, other than including DTP authorizations in the User roles.
Let me know your suggestions.
Thanks,
Sowrabh

Hi Krishnan,
Yes Users needs to run the report in front end.
Can we give authoraztions for only these particular DTPs that to in display mode, so that they can run the queries??
Would there be any issues by doing so??
Thanks,
Sowrabh
