Scheduling an Infospoke

Hello Experts,
How do I schedule the delta in an Infospoke. Prior to this I got a message saying I could do that through process chains. Could anyone please throw some light on it and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi guys,
Can anyone answer to this please as I am in need of it as well.
thanks

Info Spoke - Process Chain - OS Command usage help

I am new to BW. My requirement is to extract the master data off of BW data targets on a weekly basis and ftp the files onto a different server.
To meet this requirement, I am planning to create InfoSpoke(s), put it in a Process chain and using the OS Command ftp the files to different server.
Is this the right way to do it or are there any better ways? If it is, I need help on where to give the target server name, user_id and PSW in the OS Command variant of Process Chain.
Also, is it possible to schedule a Infospoke directly from the scheduler (Auotsys...) and still execute weekly/monthly?
Thanks for your help in advance
RK

That's correct. You'll define the command under the general services tab in the process chain transaction (It's labeled OS Command and is a silver circle thing with a blue dot in it).
When you drag it into the process chain it will ask for a varient. In the System Command field for this varient is where you'll define the actual command. (little pencil button next to it). At this point you can call a script that does the copy or call an actual command that does the copy.
Might be easier to control with a script that does the work but if you want to call rcp/scp, the os command will be rcp and parameters will be the filename, etc. If it's a script then you'll just enter the name of the script in the os command field.
Hope this helps.

Automizing Data Download from an Infoprovider to a Spreadsheet

Hi ,
I have some Infoproviders with transaction data in it. I need to do the following.
1) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
2) This Flat file needs to be stored on a server.
3) A process chain should incorporate this to automize the above process.

Creating InfoSpokes
Procedure
       1.      In the main menu of the Administrator Workbench, choose Tools ® Open Hub Service ® Edit InfoSpoke Enter a technical name for your InfoSpoke. You can also select a template.
       2.      Choose Create InfoSpoke...
       3.      Enter a technical name for your InfoSpoke.
Tab Page: General
       4.      On the General tab page, select a data source. You can choose from an InfoCube, ODS objects, MultiProviders or InfoObjects (attributes or texts).
       5.      Select a destination. You can also enter the technical name of a destination that you are about to create.
       6.      Select an extraction mode. See InfoSpoke Extraction Mode.
       7.      Specify the number of rows per data package for the data records to be extracted. You can use this parameter to control the maximum size of a data package, and hence also how many main memories need to be made available to structure the data package.
Tab Page: Destination
       8.      Choose the Destination tab page and enter a description.
       9.      Select a Logical Target System.
   10.      Select one of the following destination types:
¡        Database table: For the settings Deleting the Table Before the Extraction and Technical Key, read Extraction to a Database Table. Using the indicator Notification to Third-Party Tools you also have the option of extracting data from a third-party tool. See also Extraction to Non-SAP Systems. Enter the name of the RFC destination for your third-party tool into the RFC Destination field. You can then display the parameter table for the third-party tool using Parameters.
¡        File (CSV). Either choose Application Server or specify a local directory; specify a delimiter of type Character. If you choose the application server as the storage for the file, you can select a Logical File Name or Logical File Name from the dropdown box. If you choose Logical File Name, you get to the transaction for creating logical file names by double clicking on the field for the file name. See Extraction to Flat Files.
Tab Page: InfoObjects
   11.      On the InfoObjects tab page, select the InfoObjects that need to be transferred. In doing so, the available fields are displayed in the right half of the screen, and you can transfer them into the left half of the screen by using the arrow keys.
The pushbutton Key Fields for the Table Start enables you to place key fields at the start of the field list. When extracting in database tables, it is necessary to extract such a field list. With flat files, you need to specify the field list sequence yourself.
Tab Page: Selection
   12.      From the Selection tab page, you can restrict the selected fields even further. As a restriction, only simple selections of single values and intervals are possible. After confirming you selection, you can also exclude single values or intervals via Selection Category. Do so by clicking only the icon or (included) and then switch to or (excluded). The default setting is Included.
Extraction of InfoCubes with non-cumulative key figures:
Set the filter value for 0RECORDTP (record type) to 1. In this way, all markers are extracted that are in the compressed data from the InfoCube. You can extract non-cumulatives in which you compress the InfoCube in regular intervals and, afterwards, extract with 0RECORDTP = 1.
Tab Page: Transformation
   13.      From the tab page Transformation, you can transform the data to be transferred using a BAdI. See InfoSpoke with Transformations using BAdI.
Activating and Executing InfoSpokes
   14.      Choose Activate InfoSpoke .
   15.      After successful activation, choose Extraction in the Dialog Process. A status log is displayed.
If you do not want to start extraction straight away, that is, you want to schedule it, you need to include the InfoSpoke into a process chain. See also Including InfoSpokes in Process Chains.
Result
You have extracted data from an open hub data source into a database table or a flat CSV file.
For automizing u'r extraction
Including InfoSpokes in Process Chains
Use
If you want to automatically execute and schedule an InfoSpoke, you can include this as an application process in the procedure for a process chain. The scheduling of an extraction by using an InfoSpoke is only possible by using a process chain in its start process.
Prerequisites
You have created an InfoSpoke and have saved it as being active. If you extract the data to a file, the file has to be on the application server. Extraction to a local file requires a GUI connection and cannot be executed in the background as is the case for a process chain.
Procedure
       1.      Call up the process chain maintenance. Choose Process Chain Maintenance from the Administrator Workbench toolbar. The Process Chain Maintenance Planning View screen appears.
       2.      In the left-hand screen area of the required display component, navigate to the process chain in which you want to insert your InfoSpoke. Double-click to select it. The system displays the process chain plan view in the right-hand side of the screen.
If no suitable process chain is available, you need to create a new process chain. You can find additional information under Creating a Process Chain.
       3.      To insert a process for extraction by means of an InfoSpoke, choose Process Types in the left-hand area of the screen. The system now displays the process categories available.
       4.      In the process category Loading Process and Post Processing, choose the application process type Data Export into External Systems.
       5.      Insert the Data Export into External Systems application type with Drag&Drop into the process chain. The dialog box for inserting a process variant appears.
       6.      In the Process Variant field, enter the name of the InfoSpoke that you want to include in the process chain, or select it by means of the input help.
       7.      Proceed further as described in Creating Process Chains.
Result
You have included your InfoSpoke in a process chain. As soon as you activate the process chain, the extraction starts according to your specifications in the start process.
Example
The following graphic illustrates an example of how a process chain is used to include an InfoSpoke. The processes for deleting and building indexes are optional, because they help to improve performance.

How to schedule infospokes in process chains..

Hi All,
I have a few infospokes to be scheduled in a process chain. In each infospoke, I have upto 10 jobs that are to be scheduled one after the other. At the end of these jobs I have to run a FTP script. I am new at creating the process chains. So can anybody help me out in letting me know:
1. How to create a start process where I can select a given job by using its name
2. How to run a FTP script as a follow up step on completion of a previous step.
Thanks in advance
John

Hi John
it a big task to explain all so I will try to give you the high level picture.
1. process chain is easy to implement and learn.
   usually it is triggered either by a batch job or a
   batch job that fires an event.
2. to call an OS (like Win or Unix) from the PC you can
   trigger an event from the end of the PC to call a
   ABAP program that will initiate an OS call.
   you use trx: SM69   - External Operating Sys Commands
   to set this call up.
3. to implement an FTP you can do via a batch file with
   OS commands or by using free utilities (there are many of them).
I hope it helps.

there is a infospoke is still running so long time, it's incorrect, i'll cancel it as kick off the dependenies, i have no idea to how to stop the running infospoke. Anybody could tell me how to do it. thanks in advance.

hi denny,
Go to SM37 , find the job , stop the process
or
To stop the job find the job with the help of the request name ( TC - SM37 ),then in the job Details find the PID .
find the process in the process Overview (SM50 / SM51 ).
Set the restart to NO and Cancel the process without core
u can also see these threads that are already posted:

InfoSpoke keys

Hello Gurus,
I have a performance trouble when reading a table that is generated by an infoSpoke. The infoSpoke generates the table with technical keys, wich I cant use in the my abap queries, which makes the select veeeery slow. if I don't use the technical keys the infospoke dumps because of duplicate records? Is there a way of combining the technical keys with the "normal" key fields?
Best regards Ballo

Using SQVI to generate report of open and released delivery schedule lines

All,
I'm using SQVI to generate an excel spreadsheet for some buyers to show open released schedule lines because they are a 1 line item per scheduling agreement company.
I used the logical database MEPOLDB instead of a table joint and pulled fields from EKKO(vendor, SA #,&purchasing group), EKPO(Material Number), EKEH(schedule line type), and EKET(delivery date, scheduled qty,previous qty).
Does this sound like I'll get the results I want on paper as long as I use the right selection criteria, because the report I'm getting isn't quite what I expect? I am unable to identify which lines are authorized to ship vs. trade-off zone, planning, etc. in the report thus far.

Hi Mark,
I have faced same requirement. I am not sure about transporting to TST and PROD. I done by this way.
After generating SQVI program in DEV , I assigned that program to a transaction and tested in DEV. Later i have regenarated SQVI in Production. then I assigned the generated Program to same transaction in DEV. And transported the Tcode assignment of program to Production..
About authorization , if its not sensitive report, BASIS can restrict at transaction level.
Regards,
Ravi.

Is there a way of getting a "schedule view" in iCal on a mac and on iPad in the same way you can get one on iPhone?

IS there a way to get a schedule view of events on a busy day in iCal on the iPad 2 Air and on the Macbook Pro? I can get this view on an iPhone.

I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web.
If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
Have you lost your mind?
Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.
I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks)
If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

New DVR Scheduler Bugs: Priority Settings No Longer Working, Scrolling Series Schedules is Flakey

Hi,
After this last HD DVR update, I have two new problems:
1) I can no longer set the priority of most of my series schedules. I have about 100 series schedule entries, which the DVR update probably wasn't tested for.
Now when I try to set a series priority, it LOOKS like it worked, but if I get out of DVR options and go back into Manage Recordings, 90% of the time I find that the series priority is either unchanged, or (even worse) has bounced up to some unexpected random priority - Thus, I have to search the series list to find it - Then I cannot move it back to where it's supposed to be!
It seems that only moving a series priority a little bit will sometimes work, but moving the series from near the top of the list to near the bottom (or vice-versa) doesn't work at all, even though it may appear like it worked until the list is refreshed (either by paging up and down the list a few times, or by exiting the DVR manager and going back in).
2) The scrolling is messed up now in the series schedule manager - When setting Priority, as I scrool up or down from the middle of the list using the arrow or Page buttons, the list will end unexpectedly, making it impossible to actually drag the series to the bottom or top of the list. Then if you deposit the series at the "end" of the list, suddenly the rest of the list will then magically appear (of course, the series schedule you deposited there will no longer be where you deposited it - See problem #1). Obviously the list is running out of buffer space, so the next part of the list isn't being loaded while you're in the process of changing a series priority..
Scrolling is also messed up just scrolling through the list without changing priority: Scrolling through my series schedules USED to be very FAST and painless using the Page (Channel) up/down button, I could scroll from top to bottom of my 100 series schedules in a matter of like 5 seconds. NOW, it takes forever and is a real pain to scroll from top to bottom, because the scrolling pauses on just about every other page - As though it ran out of buffer space and is having trouble loading the next buffer.
I have a lot of series schedule entries so all the First-run Programs are at the top of the priority list, then all the re-runs are in the bottom half of the list. That's the only way I have found to prevent Re-Runs from hijacking new programs, since there's no DVR option to prevent re-runs from inteferring with new episodes (BTW, in order for this to work, the First-Run schedule must be created first. Then a duplicate First-Run and Reruns schedule must be created - Creating them in reverse order will throw a "Duplicate" error message).
The DVR software has always been buggy and feature-depribed, but this is rediculous - To think the programming team didn't even test the scrolling and priority of series schedules is as bad as the ObamaCare website, and that's setting a very low bar! You HAVE to test EVERYTHING when you release new updates, even if the programmers say it won't affect anything else, because from my experience programmers develop tunnel vision (been there, done that myself), and if you have more than one person on the programming team, neither programmer will communicate their changes to anyone else (been there, done that too).

I have the identical problem after the recent software upgrade which VERIZON did to my DVR.
In addition, I have "Manual Series" listed under the "Manage Series Recordings" section of my DVR for about 10 of the tv shows that I have tagged to be recorded weekly. Several others have reported this seemingly related problem to this forum.
I've tried twice to report the latter problem to VERIZON's technical support staff, but met with indifference in the first attempt (a guy recommended that I replace my DVR with a new one - an utterly ridiculous suggestion), and in my second attempt I got a somewhat helpful lady who couldn't correct this glitch and was unaware of others having same problem but promised to send it up the flagpole to higher level tech folks (best action that I realistically could get).
As I told VERIZON's techies, I likely was not the only customer experiencing these problems - and your and others postings to this forum confirm my initial hunch. VERIZON leaves a lot to be desired in the testing of their software "upgrades".
