" Steps to create a universe from R/3 "

Dear Friends ,
Can any one let me know the steps to create a universe from R/3 .

Hi,
you must install Enchancement Pack 4 on your SAP ERP system in order to be able to build a universe based on an infoset query.
If you do not have EHP 4 (not sure if it is officially released yet) you can only use Crystal Reports to report directly on SAP R/3 tables.
You will need to SAP BusinessObjects Solution kit (a.k.a SAP integration Kit) to be able to access OLAP cubes from the SAP BW via universes.
R3 data cannot be accessed via Webi, only if you go directly againt the database hosting the R3 tables (there will be thousands of tables though I believe).
I would think Crystal Reports is passing a SQL statement to the SAP R3 database and a universe could be built to re-create that SQL statement. Such a universe would be really hard to build (I should know - I build Oracle E-Business Suite universes all day), but not impossible.

Steps to create a Universe based on Bex query

HI Gurus,
I am (first time ofcourse) creating a Universe based on a Bex Query. I searched on SDN to find steps to craete a universe on top of Bex query and found a document written by tej Trivedi and found other threads also which explains all the steps.
I understood from his document that in case of OLAP Universes the Structure pan would be empty. And I will not see joins etc..Is that true?
How can I make sure that I will see data?
Regards

Hi,
I believe this is a cross post from here Re: BEX Query Objects dont show in Universe ?
So i will put my answer again:
Hi,
If you can select your BEx query, but the 'universe outline' in the webi query panel stays blank (i.e no available objects in the webi query panel) then you don't have enough rights (authorizations) on the BW -side.
to prove it, try using a sap_all profile in the universe connection .
regards,
H
p.s. there is a large section on the required authorizations in the Admin guide. Also a note covers it : Note 1585948 - No objects are visible in the query panel when creating a report using Interactive Analysis or BI Launchpad

Steps to create Data loading from Flat File to Info Cube in BI

Hi,
     I am very new BW, I need some one help. When I am trying to create info source i am any pop window stating to create Transaction data or master data.
     After creating Info source, I dont know how to assign this info source to source system (which i created).
      When select the context menu of info source I dont have option to assign the datasource.
      And one more thing is When I am creating the Info Cube. I cant understand how to create.
      Please some one help me how to map the fields to Source system.
Regds
Dave.

Hi,
For flat file upload, first you need to create the source system.
Then you need to create the infosource based on the format of the flat file you are going to upload or vice versa depending on your requirements.
Once your infosource is ready, right click on it and select assign datasource. Here you can assign your flat file datasource. Then create an infopackage and give the path from where the file is to be upload to BW (in the infopackage).
Also look at the thread below for procedure on flat file upload :

Steps to create Universe without using Fact Table

Dear All,
i am confronting with a problem by creating an Universe.
The problem is that we do no have any fact table.
Could you please explain the steps for creating an universe without fatc table?
Thanks
Pat

The first thing to do is identify the tables in your schema that contain measures. These will be your base tables for contexts.
Then identify all the tables that relate to each of your candidate fact tables.
You may identify two related tables, both with facts in, which would give you a fan trap.
Say you have a schema with only three tables and they are related as: T1 -< T2 -< T3
T2 and T3 both have measure columns.
What you would need to do is create an alias of T2 (AT2) and join it to T2.
You would then have two contexts, T1-< T2 , T2-< T3 and T1-<T2, T2- AT2
For objects from T2, derive the dimensions from T2 and the measures from AT2.
Beyond that, it's fairly standard.
If you have a data schema it is going to be much easier for you.

Error creating Universe from BW query

Hi
Creating the Universe connected to BW query (BI 7).
Connection is proper and universe designer is connected to BW system without any problem. I have already used many queries to connect to universe and webi documents has been developed.
The only difference in this BW query is, it is using hierarchy with 'derivation type' in 'select hierarchy date'.
BW query is working as expected in BEx designer.
This is the error message when trying to create the universe from BW query -
Error getting dimensions for cube <infoprovider name>/<query name>(catalog <infoprovider name>): Unknown error when executing MDX
Product name : SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Client Tools SP3
Please respond how this can be resolved.
Thanks
Sreedh

Sreedh,
I was wondering whether you could resolve this error?
Would appreciate if you can convey the resolution.
I am getting the same error - ( BOE XI 3.1 ).
Thank you,

Steps to create outbound CREMAS IDOC from ERP

Hi,
Can you please share the steps to create outbound IDOC from ERP system?
Business requirement is that whenever a new vendor is created in the ECC system, SAP should trigger an outbound vendor IDOC CREMAS from ERP system. Also whenever the vendor data is changed then the entire vendor details should be passed to outbound IDOC and not just the delta changes. Change pointer can be configured but to create idoc for full vendor records.
I guess we can use CREMAS.
Can anyone please share the steps to configure it in ERP?
Regards,
Sandeep

1. Read the file using OPEN DATASET and read and fill up the segment info and fill the EDIDC header data
and then call function
CALL FUNCTION 'INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS'
    TABLES
      IDOC_CONTROL       = i_edidc
      IDOC_DATA          = i_edid4.

Creating Universes from a SQL Server 2008 Database....Options?

Needing to create a Universe from a SQL Server 2008 DB, I am of course finding it difficult at best to get the ball rolling. Support tells me the only option I have is to use Designer, and to not use the "Automated Detection" features because they are not for production environment use <citing business requirement differences as one issue, as was noted during a support call when I was having problems with our VM server literally locking up while the "Automatic Detection" features were trying to run>.
So what that means is, from what I see, I am expected to manually add all of the SQL DB tables, and then have a Developer spend multiple hours adding appropriate Joins, Cardinalities, Keys, etc. And, whenever there are any DB changes, this has to be done all over again to the Universe to allow for syncronization with the DB.
This really seems like a heavy load to bear just to be able to use SAP. Is anyone else having these same challenges? Are there other options I am just not seeing? Seems to me Builder needs a SQL bridge honestly.
Appreciate any help I can get!!
-Carl

While it may seem disappointing, as long as you have the data schema and knowledge of the joins and cardinalities, then you've got a lot of the easy stuff sorted out.
What you need to provide is a presentation layer that is more than just turning the tables and columns into classes and objects. There are often things that you need to create that don't exist in the database, such as objects for relative dates. These can be found in the thread that I created over on the BOB Board here:
http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=152613
Make sure that all objects have a description
Make sure that all dates and numbers have a format; there's nothing worse than creating a report and finding your year displayed as 2,011.00
Use predefined filters - include prompts
Other useful tips are available here:
http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=15227
Do you have a set of reporting requirements?

A universe from SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP BW 7.3... Possible?

Hello,
We are looking to create one universe from two SAP data sources;
1) SAP ECC 6.0 with EHP5 and
2) SAP BW 7.3
Can this be done?
In UDT there is a SAP BW connection that can satisfy need for cubes but connection to ECC is a challenge.
I think it's possible in in CR 2011 but exploring webi options.
Any suggestion / work around ?.
Thanks,

Hi,
With Feature Pack 03 (ramp up registration open now, and RU starts ~16 March), you will be able to use IDT driver to access ECC (R/3) data. and generate a universe.
In the current, 4.0 SP02 Patch2.x codeline, you cannot do the above.
today, You can create a Multi Source-enabled Universe (UNX in IDT) for relational BW-SQL access to underlying BW table schema (by passing OLAP engine and all BEx semantic concepts.)
But - if you have the XI 3.1 Data Federator product already - then you can go from IDT, and use the DF XI3.1 as a datasource into a UNX universe.
I have not tried combining BW-SQL and DF 3.1 connections into a MSU universe.
Yes, using CR 2011, you can consume ECC.
I'd recommend joining ramp up (go via your account team) and evaluating the new features asap.

H

if you use iTunes match in order to create space and remove music from your hard drive, does that happen automatically when you subscribe and upload your music or is there another step to remove the music from your hard drive once you've uploaded to iTunes match?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself.
