Reports using Open Hub

All - We are currenlty using Bex and some of the reports that the users will be generating will exceed excel limit of 65k rows. I had suggested using web reports, but when the users run large reports they are timing out. The basis team changed the time out settings multiple times but they have been of no use.  It is critical that the users are able to run these reports or atleast have them run by a BW team member. Is it possible to use open hub to run reports?

You can download the data of your data target into CSV (or other forms) using open hub.. this will be just a flat structure with the dump of all records for the specified selection...
In your case report may be timing out on web coz of user inactivity (idle)/ dialog time..ask your basis team to check that param..(sorry i could not remember the exact param name)

  • Change of sign while extracting data using Open hub

    Hello All,
    We are extracting data from Info cube to a file in the application server using Open hub.
    While extracting data, if there is any negative value for the key figure, negative sign is appending on the right side of the value(Eg: "123.67-"), which is the standard behaviour but I want the sign to be on the left side of the value (Eg: "-123.67") while extracting to the file at application server.
    Could any one please let me know if there is any setting to do this change ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Changing the SIGN position from one side of the NUMBER to the other side can happen in following ways.
    1) After the file is place in the application server. Deploy a OS SCRIPT file (for .csv) for obtaining the required changes to the required COLUMN [Basis team will have more idea on this]
    2)This is time consuming idea. well deploy a routine at the Open hub -Infospoke level.

    Hi all
    We could connect to the open hub for SAP BW 7.0 hosted in a remote server . Then tried to import the tables created there. However it stops us with:

  • Make a CSV using OPEN HUB including some nodes of a hierarchy

    Hi People:
    I have a requirement that needs to make a CSV using OPEN HUB DESTINATION in BI7. I'm taking the information of a virtual cube (SEM ).  However, I have the detail in 0CS_ITEM. In this Infobject there are some nodes that have to be displayed in the file, but this nodes are the acumulated of some 0CS_ITEM.
    My question is: Do I have to make an abap program to read de hierarchy and make manually the adittion of the acumulated and display it into the file? Is there any other way to get this target without making abap code?
    Any clue will be great
    Thanks in advanced

    Hi
    Instead of ABAP program I suggest you to create infospoke..and it will show a message in which format you want to save..
    Hope this will work..

  • Hierarchy Extraction using Open hub Destination

    Hi,
    I need to extract hierarchy data for Application code(YAPPLCD) using OHD. In the Hierarchy there are 4 components(Industry, Market, Application Group and Application Code). i need to get all the 3 details for the Application Code(i.e to which Indusrty does it belong, Market and Application Group).But HIerarchy table is having one record for each apllication code, Market, Application Group, Application code.
    How to get relevant data for the application code?
    My file format should be:
    Appl.Code | Appl.Group | Market | Industry.

    Hi Suma...
    The SAP Open Hub service enables you to distribute data from an SAP BI/BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, you can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for the export of data is the InfoSpoke. Using this, you can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred, leveraging SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) as the transfer/transform mechanism. 
    SAP BI objects such as InfoCubes, ODS objects, or InfoObjects can act as open hub data sources. You can select database tables or flat files as open hub destinations, and then use those destinations as actual sources within SSIS.  To automate the extraction using SAPu2019s Open Hub Service, youu2019ll need to setup a process chain. Note that both a full and delta modes are also available as the extraction mode.
    As stated already with direct extraction from SAP R/3, once data is extracted out of SAP NetWeaver® BI (SAP BW), the destination of that data could be any relational database (such as SQL Server), and then reports (from SSRS) and multi-dimensional cubes (from SSAS) can be created from that database data.  The resulting SQL Server reports/cubes could then be used within the Microsoft Business Intelligence delivery mechanisms, such as through Excel, SharePoint, PerformancePoint, etc.

    Hi,
    In BI4.1 SP03, there are couple openDocument fixes related to workspace.
    ADAPT01700442
    Description:
    When using an Opendocument URL to open a BI workspace, a timeout error occurs resulting in an HTTP 500 error
    message that reads: "Your session has expired".
    New Behavior:
    This problem is resolved.
    ADAPT01711393
    Description:
    In Internet Explorer 8, if you attempt to view an Analysis workspace embedded in the SAP NetWeaver Portal using

  • Using open hub to create a file on another server

    Hello everyone,
    I am wanting open hub to create a file, but create it on a different server (a file sharing server not associated with SAP).  Both BW and this file share server run Windows.
    Can this be done using logical files  (FILE transaction) or other configuration?
    I am aware of some other people posting here that send the file from open hub to DIR_HOME and then have created an OS command (SM49) to copy to the other file share server.  Also I know one could also write an ABAP to FTP the file from this location out to the file share server as well.
    I was hoping that FILE transaction would allow this but so far I have not had any luck with it.
    Many Thanks,
    Kevin

    All,
    Found out that this can be done, you can send a flat file from BW to a completely different server in one step, no need for SM49 or AL11 or FTP or ABAP program in the middle.  The trick lies in the configuration in transaction FILE.
    FILE transaction configuration steps:
    Step 1 - Define Logical File Path - just a place holder here
    Step 2 - Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path, here is where you enter the server & path but not a filename, for example
    \\server_swvs01\SAPFILE\<SYSID>\BPC\Cust_R3_sales\<FILENAME>
    Step 3 - Define Cross-client Logical File Name, here is where you specify the actual file name to be written to the file share on the other server in field "Physical file", just make sure and link this to the Local path you created in Step 1 above.  You can also use system variables in the physical file name or hard code it all.
    your_file_name.csv
    Hope this helps someone
    Cheers,
    Kevin

  • Creating multiple flat files from a single source using Open Hub

    Hi All,
    I am not sure if its a common scenario but we have a requirement where in we have to split the data in the target into 3 different flat files depending on certain conditions. For e.g.
    If the value of an attribute in a record is A then I have to create a file, if it is B then another file and if it is C, then another file.
    Is this possible to achieve through open hub? We have a requirement to load only delta records. Any inputs is appreciated and would be rewarded.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sundar

    Yes it is possible,
    All you need to do is create 3 destinations each of type Flat file.
    For your data target link to the and Open Destinations1, link by creating a transformation. and while create DTP use filter A.
    Again for your data target link to the another Open Destination2, link by creating a transformation and while creating DTP use Filter B.
    similarly for Open Destination3,  use Filter C.

  • Use of Open Hub Destination to load data into BPC

    Hi Gurus,
    I want to load the data from SAP BI to BPC (NW version), using Open Hub Destination. I want to know few things about this.
    1) What method should I use? Should I use Destination as Flat Files or Database tables? If Database tables, how can I use this data in the tables in BPC?
    2) If I go for Flat Files, which  is saved in the application server of BI, how can I import those files to BPC and use it using Data Manager?
    3) Also, in case of Flat Files, there are two files which are created. One is the control file and other one is the data file. How can I use both of them? Or can I just use data file without header?
    Your replies will be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    Hi Anjali,
    I can use the standard data manager package from BI to BPC, if the CSV file is available in the BPC Server or in case if I am directly extracting from BW object, InfoObject or InfoCube.
    But, since I will be using Open Hub, the output of this can be in a Database Table or a CSV file, preferably in SAP Application Server. In such cases, how can I use the Database table or CSV file in the standard Data Manager Package?
    Thanks for your reply.

  • Can Open Hub Destinations be used with Multiproviders?

    We're looking to export data from a multiprovider, using Open Hub Destinations, however when I try to create the OHD, Multiprovider does not show up as an object type.  I've tried entering Infocube, but then when I search for the multiprovider, it is not on the list.
    We are using BW 7.0.
    Thank you

    Hi Michael,
    No MultiProviders cant be used as a source for an Open Hub Destinations.
    BI objects such as InfoCubes, DataStore objects, InfoObjects (attributes or texts), and InfoSets can be used.
    Chk this help link.

  • Info spoke /Open Hub

    Hi Friends
    I need to extract few fields to a  flat file(excel).that file needs to be up loaded to APO DP .
    The issue i am facing is data belongs to 3 infocubes. 2 are transactional and one is basic. so i cant use open hub which supports only for 1 cube/ods at a time.
    I created a Multi cube on top of the 3 cubes and tried to extract the data using RSCRM_BAPI by creating a report on the multiprovider.
    But i am facing issues as
    1) Multi provider has TYPE which is not supported.
    2 ) one more is my report conatins the STRUCTURE elements. the out put in RSCRM_BAPI is not displaying the structure elements.
    please help with some solution to this.
    regards
    praveen.

    Hi Praveen,
    If you are on BW 3.5 then You can use APD to write the data you want into a transactional ODS and then create an export datasource on that ODS and use in APO.
    You can schedule this at whatever time you want.
    However APD is not supported in process chains in 3.5 but it is supported in BI 7.0 I guess.
    Bye

  • Open Hub licence

    Gurus
    I am trying to use open hub service in BI 7.0 and in these case need to distribute data to other non-sap systems.
    so do i need to have license for this ???
    thanks

    If you extract data from your SAP NetWeaver BI to a non-SAP system, you have to license this scenario - no matter which tool use for the extraction, e.g. Open Hub Destination, listcube, any BI API, Analysis Process Designer or Excel download.
    Note that a licensed BI user may download to Excel for her/his own analysis purposes without any further license costs. Distributing Excel workbooks to non-SAP BI users for personal reporting purposes requires Information Broadcasting license, not Open Hub license.
    Hope it Helps

  • Open Hub: How-to doc "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical File"

    Hi all,
    We are using open hub to download transaction files from infocubes to application server, and would like to have filename which is dynamic based period and year, i.e. period and year of the transaction data to be downloaded. 
    I understand we could use logical file for this purpose.  However we are not sure how to have the period and year to be dynamically derived in filename.
    I have read in sdn a number of posted messages on a similar topic and many have suggested a 'How-to' paper titled "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical Filename".  However i could not seem to be able to get document from the link given. 
    Just wonder if anyone has the correct or latest link to the document, or would appreciate if you could share the document with all in sdn if you have a copy.
    Many thanks and best regards,
    Victoria

    Hi,
    After creating open hub press F1 in Application server file name text box from the help window there u Click on Maintain 'Client independent file names and file paths'  then u will be taken to the Implementation guide screen > click on Cross client maintanance of file name > create a logical file path by clicking on new entiries > after creating logical file path now go to Logical file name definition there give your Logical file , name , physical file (ur file name followed by month or year what ever is applicable (press f1 for more info)) , data format (ASC) , application area (BW) and logical path (choose from F4 selection which u have created first), now goto Assignment of  physical path to logical path > give syntax group >physical path is the path u gave at logical file name definition.
    however we have created a logical path file name to identify the file by sys date but ur requirement seems to be of dynamic date of tranaction data...may u can achieve this by creating a variable. U can see the help from F1 that would be of much help to u. All the above steps i have explained will help u create a dynamic logical file.
    hope this helps u to some extent.
