Role of text & hirarhies of info object property in cube data model & Bex

Hi,
Info object have properties : first > attribute can be either display or navigational which are as charatristics(dimension's) display property and as in navigational folder res. in cube > display data model, in display attribute can we see same as like data modle while navigational attribute will serve as charateristics of res dimension. ( in BI 7.0 )
where is the text and hirirchey property of info object in cube data model and bex analyzer?
Best regards,
Dushaynt.

  • What happens to data, when Info object property is changed to have ALPHA

    Hi experts,
    I have a trivial question,
    What happens to existing data, when I change the info Object property to have an ALPHA convesion routine ? Specifically I need to know, will it remove any similar looking entries ??

  • Adding new info object to a cube.

    Hi Friends,
    This is a BI SYSTEM, we have a cube with existing data in it. Now we need to add a new info object to the dimension of the cube.
    Now we can add the info object to the cube in 2 ways.
    1. remodeling the cube
    2. select the cube in RSA1 , RIGHT CLICK, IN CHANGE MODE add the info object to the dimension of the cube.
    now my question is why we have the concept of remodeling, when we were able to add the info objects to the dimensions of the cube in the change mode.
    kindly explain me in detail.
    thanks.
    Please search the forum

    Hi Soumya,
    If you go by option 2 of adding Infoobject in Cube by going in change mode and adding the respective Infoobject in Dimension,
    Then you have to delete Data first from the Infocube in order to add infoobject by this option. Otherwise it won't allow you to add infoobject.
    But by remodelling option you can add the infoobject in dimension without deleting any data from Cube. But this option has its own limitations too.
    Please refer the following link for Remodelling Concept:-

  • Error when assigning SID while uploading text in the info-object of the DSO

    Hi
    I have a scenario where I need to extract a char 60 field from R/3 in the DSO.
    I have created the info-object which is char 60 which has the master data text activated.
    In the DSO transformation I have mapped it to the R/3 field.
    While activating the data in DSO its giving the error message
    'Value '20 per action plan' (hex. '32302070657220616374696F6E20706C616E') of characteristic'
    'Error when assigning SID: Action VAL_SID_CONVERT InfoObject ZRMSD '
    How to overcome this issue.
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance.

    Change the InfoObject for this text so that it will allow lowercase letters. To do this, go into Change mode on the InfoObject, go to the General tab, check the Lowercase letters checkbox and activate the InfoObject. After this has been activated, you can then restart your process and this SID violation error should no longer be thrown for this.
    If you don't want to do this, then you can use the TOUPPER formula in the Characteristic Routine, in the Transformation, to change the value of this field contents to uppercase. This can also be done by using an ABAP routine like this:
    TRANSLATE column TO UPPER CASE.

  • How to create master data/text for an info object

    Hi All,
    I am working on a report and having a problem with an info object since it has no master data. This characteristic is supposed to be in the selection parameters and also should contain key and text in it. Since there is no master data for this info object there is no text and keys don't come up. Does any one knows how to add master data to this info object without reloading the ODS?
    Thanks

    Mike,
    You shold load the master data into BW first,
    othere wise you can do one thing
    goto infopackage and schedule where in the update tab select the radio button                                                
    Always update the data,even if no masterdata is exist for that.

  • Issue with Info Object Transport after changing Data Type

    Hi Experts,
    We have a DSO which is running past 5 years. And recently(3 days back) we added new fields into that DSO. Delta loaded for last three days and new info object (Say XXX) data populated into DSO.
    Now the problem is, We identified that, info object data type is not correct. We used data type NUMC  instead of CHAR.So Character information is missing for that field.
    Example:
    Data from ECC: ABC123
    Data Loaded to DSO: 123 (Missed character ABC)
    So we deleted data from DSO and changed the info object data type in Development system.
    And also I have deleted only last three days delta records from DSO and transported my info object to Production. But its giving error as: Info object contains data in DSO".
    But that info object field is empty in DSO. I have already deleted last three days delta.
    Do I need to Delete all 5 years data from DSO to change the data type of recently added new info object ?
    Please give me your solutions and ideas to solve this issue.
    Thank you,
    Best Regards,
    Santhosh

    Hi Raman,
    Thank you for your answer.
    When I changed the data type of info object in Dev, I deleted the content of DSO. And same thing transported to QA as well. Before importing changed info object, I just deleted the content of DSO from QA. So transport done successfully QA.
    But in Production we have a history of past 5 years. So I cant delete all contents of DSO.
    So just deleted only the delta request's which contains data for that info object(3 days back, we moved that info object(NUMC data type) to production,So last 3 days delta only loaded for that info object). And tried to transport it. But it was failed. I am sure we need to drop all data from DSO, if I am interested to go with same info object.
    I have some comments on your first approach,
    1. If we delete info objects from Dev DSO and transport to Production will give transport failure, Why because, my previous transports errors clearly saying that info object contains data in DSO . So it wont allow to remove that info object from DSO.
    2.We are using same info object technical name in BO Data federator also. So if we change add new info objects again we need to make changes with BO as well. I am thinking this point as my last option if i cant find any other solution.
    Thank you.
    Best Regards.

  • How to find the corresponding  field in r/3 to a info object in a cube?

    Hi,
           In a cube I have an info object WKNO and data is loaded from r/3 through  a process chain to that cube.
    now i need to check from which field and table in r/3 the data is coming to the info object?

    Hi
    You can take the datasource name for the Cube and the infoobject
    Then pass this to table RSOFIELDMAP , to get the corresponding  R/3 fieldname
    And for R/3 table u need to check datasources definition in BI content library
    May b if ur datasource is there in below the link u can follow the tables to get the exact field source

  • Info object creation and master data attributes

    Hai All,
              I have customerid, customer name, customer address, customer location. Similarly I have buyerid,buyer name, buyer address, buyer location. I have some more fileds like this for seller and vendor. I am thinking of creating a central location for all this master data creating a infoObject with name "personid" and making all the others attributes like "personname", "personaddress", "personlocation". I will load all the details of customer, buyer, seller and vendor to these objects.
    The cental idea is to get all the master data to a central location and then create objects with reference to these objects and let all the data flow. so that I just load the central objects and everything takes whatever it wants from there.
    Now my questions
    1. Can I just create an object for customerid referencing personid and then as all the other attributes get copied, can I just report on it or do I need to again create all the info objects for the customer details? Also the same for all others buyer, seller and vendor.
    2. Is this of any problem if I am reporting on customer or vendor or buyer or seller's details?
             Please advise me if the above situation works and let me know if I am going wrong.
    Thank you.

    hi Visu,
    yes, you can do so, should no problem.
    business content has this kind of approach,
    0sold_to, 0ship_to reference to 0customer.
    and also 0employee if i'm not wrong.
    one thing to consider if the volume data is very high,
    put it as line item dimension in infocube.
    hope this helps.

  • Increased Object Type support within Data Modeler

    Hi,
    This is a question mainly for the Data Modeler Development Team as well as the Tools group. First of all, the production version of Data Modeler 3.0 is very nice and the improvements in the DataTypes area over what was in EA1 are great. Thanks for adding the Domain support to the definition of Attributes and Parameters for Methods, that makes life much simpler and opens the door for a much wider range of object type modeling and ease of implementations since consistency can now be maintained much easier via Domains. Also the support for straightening of lines is awesome. This is the best implementation I have seen, even better that what we had in the Design Editor in Oracle Designer, kudos again to the team that built the diagrammer interfaces.
    My question is, Going forward will Data Modeler continued to be enhanced to finally fully support Oracle Objects and the object relational (OR) model? I ask this because as users of Oracle's RDBMS, we do not have a tool that allows us to fully model and implement the features provided by the Server Group in the area of Object-Relational features and functionality. Oracle Designer had some OR modeling capability, but the end of life on product stopped all further development. One of the common excuses is there is no market demand for object - relational modeling. I would argue, that the lack of market demand for object - relational applications is because we have never have had a tool that fully supports Oracle's object - relational model. Nor do have we had a development tool that allows us to implement a fully developed Oracle Object - Relational model. The tools group stopped the development of Oracle Forms support for nested objects and collections. The LOV functionality for REF columns is pretty awesome, but we can't get to nested collections much less a nested collection of REFs.
    So as a member of the end user community, we are stuck in this Catch 22. The Server Group continues to support and enhance the Object - Relational model, but the Tools and Modeling Groups haven't kept up with the tools to model or implement the functionality and features supported by the database. As a result we have a partially built set of tools that allows us to scratch the surface of the Object - Relational model but are not able to take full advantage of the powerful features of inheritance, inherited and extended collections, the ability to inherit and then extend methods, etc...
    The Object - Relational model was introduced with Oracle8, 10g solved the type evolution problem which made production implementation of object types realistic. My question is; Is Data Modeler finally going to fully support Oracle's object - relational model? If we as the end user community finally get a tool that does fully support the OR model, we'll finally be able to model, build and deploy applications that will in turn create that market demand which is lacking for the object relational model.
    Thanks in advance,
    ScottK

    Phil,
    Yes, having the ability to include an attribute from an data type as part of the PK, UK and or index will be very, very nice. Doing that opens a number of doors on the design, modeling and implementation sides. It would allow us to model and then create a data type which has all the common attributes for housekeeping information within each entity -> table. This is something we tried to do with Designer but was pretty involved script wise. By being able to create specialized housekeeping datatypes and then using the 'add attribute' with the scripts provided with DM 3.0, it simplifies the model after the fact. Think about it, we'll be able to have a datatype with all the attributes for created on/by and modified on/by along will all the methods to populate those attributes (formerly columns), then we can include that datatype into the entity as an attribute called say, 'row_audit' with the datatype of 'common_'. Now in one pass we have the place to hold the information of who created and modified the row as well as the date and time along with all the code required to populate and maintain that information. Everything modeled, defined and written in one place. No more have to include or write the pl/sql across several different modules, rather the calls to the method, a constructor, are within the insert or update statements for that table. If we take that train of thought and extend it to include the housekeeping functions for relational primary keys, then we can create one datatype with the attribute and methods to create a single column primary key. Once that is pulled into an entity, defined as the part of the unique identifier and then pushed down as a primary key and resulting foreign keys. We have all the code to enforce and populate primary and foreign keys wrapped up in one datatype with its supporting method as a constructor. Think of the other possibilities that would be available once we can include nested attributes w/i keys and indexes. It makes some models and designs much simpler, more maintainable, more scalable (less code to execute), etc...
    I have been thinking about this. I see ya'll have provided the options for IN, OUT, IN/OUT, COPY and NOCOPY as modifiers for the parameters on methods. We also have the option for COPY / NOCOPY in the constructor method for type. Will that be included?
    Lastly, since the Server Group solved the type evolution problem, that coupled with the ability to include a datatype as a definition for column really opens the design doors. For example, by using a datatype of 'common_', as mentioned above, if the system requirement appears after the system is built for a the name of the source system to be included with the 'row_audit' information, we can modify the datatype 'common_' to include these new attributes and methods and then the ALTER TYPE syntax provided by the Server and Language groups to effectively extend all the tables to include this new system requirement. Till the Server group solved the type evolution problem, this wasn't possible and we had to write several 'alter table add column' scripts. This is all replaced with the ALTER TYPE... cascade data command now. Once DM 3.0 includes the ability to reference embedded attributes, design and modeling life will be great.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Issue while manually entering texts into 0DOCTYPE info object

    Hello Guyz
    I have a peculiar problem while loading texts into 0DOCTYPE. In R/3 the 0DOCTYPE table looks like:
    0DOCTYPE (bsart)   0DOC_CAT(bstyp)         Texts
    AB                                A                           Request for GP bid 
    AN                                A                           RFQ                
    FO                                B                           Framework requisn. 
    FO                                F                           Framework order    
    LP                                 L                           Scheduling agreement
    LPA                               L                          Scheduling agreement
    From the above values, we can clearly notice that 0DOC_CAT is a compounding char to 0DOCTYPE and maybe (vice versa). But we dont have this on the BW side, and the 0DOCTYPE has been used in many cubes DSOs and t/f rules. Now, when I have to load text, I need to turn that on and this throws an error that I cant do it now, because these IOs have been used in all these data providers.
    Is there any other way I can do this? Having 0DOC_CAT as an attribute of 0DOCTYPE does not help because that only affects the attribute table, and not the text table.
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    If you do not want to disturb the existing cubes / DSO containing 0DOCTYPE then probably you can create a new InfoObject like ZDOCTYPE with the required compunding key. Load the Master data text to this infoobject from the existing Text DatsSource.
    Use this Z infoobject in the Cube or DSO for which you want to display text in the Report.
    This will lead to a bit of redundancy but it allows you to go ahead without changing existing objects.

  • Deleting Info objects from the Cube

    Hi All,
    I am deleting 2 characteristics from the existing cube that already has queries . Would doing this make the existing queries or workbooks un-useable??. The characteristics are no more required for use in the existing queries.
    Thank you

    Yes. They will become unusable..
    Please delete them from the queries, workbooks before really deleting from the cube..

       Name of Master Data Access - CL_RSR_REMOTE_MASTERDATA
    Under what scenairo we go for this option?
    Any body used this option?

    Hi,
    With Master Data:
    If you set this indicator, the characteristic may have attributes. In this case the system generates a P table for this characteristic. This table contains the key of the characteristic and any attributes that might exist. It is used as a check table for the SID table. When you load transaction data, there is check whether there is a characteristic value in the P table if the referential integrity is used.
    With Maintain Master Data you can go from the main menu to the maintenance dialog for processing attributes.
    The master data table can have a time-dependent and a time-independent part.
    In attribute maintenance, determine whether an attribute is time-dependent or time independent.
    With Texts:
    Here, you determine whether the characteristic has texts.
    If you want to use texts with a characteristic, you have to select at least one text. The short text (20 characters) option is set by default but you can also choose medium-length texts (40 characters) or long texts (60 characters).

    In the maintenance of info-object under the master data/text tab, just tick the option for Texts Language Dependent. And then in the mapping of the data-source with the info-object your SPRAS field will be automatically mapped to 0LANGU.
