Storage in ODS

Hi
I would like to know how the data is being stored in ODS.
Will it store all the versions of delta or will it be having single latest record always.
Please let me know.
Regards
Leon

Hi Leon,
In ODS it is not possible to have different versions of the information right from first data load to the latest.
This is because the data will get overwritten in the ODS and the active data table store only the latest values for each records.
0VERSION concept is used for identifying different versions of Plan data only. So it is ideally not suitable for accesing the kind of information you are looking for.
Hope it helps!!!!

  • Allocated storage from ODS

    Hello folks,
    I have loaded data into an ods (SVS_P013) object and
    activated all the the data afterwards.
    In transaction DB02 it still shows that storage is allocated
    from the table were the data is stored before activation
    (/BIC/ASVS_P013<b>40</b>).
    But there are definitly no data records in it!
    Is there any other possibility except an database reorganization
    to set this storage free again?
    Thanks for your help!
    Oliver Richter

    How about you make the key for the second ODs identical as the first and make ZTIPOINV part of the data fields of ODS 2? This way you preserve key intergrity and can make your key figure in the ODS 2 be of update type OVERWRITE(alwyas an advantage when u need to realign historical data). If you can't make this happen then you must observe previous comment on the overwrite of fields and ALSO you must determine wheter to set any key figures you have to ADDITION instead of OVERWRITE.

  • Error while loading data in data storage object(ODS)

    Hi,
    I am extracting data from data base with help of DB connect.I can see number of records are added into ODS.but when I try to activate data in ODS, its going to red.When I see error message as followes.Its is saying invalid char,when i see data in PSA , each and every record is Green.
    1)Value 'closed' (hex. '0063006C006F007300650064') of characteristic STATUS_SC contains invalid characters.
    2)Error when assigning SID: Action VAL_SID_CONVERT table CATG_CHG.
    3)Activation of M records from DataStore object SC_CHNG terminated.
    4)Process 000003 returned with errors.
    5)Process 000009 returned with errors.
    Any inputs plz
    Regards.
    Harry.

    load the dat from PSA & into ods. Then select the errornous data in PSA and edit it for the info object STATUS_SC . (It say lower charectaristics. Check if the source system values.
    1. If that is true then chage the value in PSA then load the PSA data to cube.
    2. Else in the transfer rules write an abap code (ABAP ROUTIEN)(to upper).

  • Is there any User Exit or BADI- Where LTAP-WDATU is as change parameter ,So during or after Transfer order creation GR date would be as per given logic not as current date

    Dear All,
    There is a requirement in which when the material (Not batch managed) is getting return from Non WM managed storage location to WM managed storage location than at the time of creating transfer order or after creation of transfer order would like to change LTAP-WDATU (GR date) automatically , So here i am unable to find the right user exit or BADI in which i can write the logic for same. Below is full description of the requirement.
    Here we are following Removal strategy "FIFO" while picking the material (Not batch managed) from WM managed storage location (WMS1) & transferring to Non WM managed storage location (ODS) ( than from there it use to go to Production) , at certain times partial quantity use to come back from Non WM managed storage location (ODS) to WM managed storage location (WMS1) and while doing putaway of the same "GR date" use to change which was not the actual when the material 1st time comes to WM managed storage location (WMS1) (before getting transfer to Non WM managed storage location). So here i want the user exit or BADI in which i can write my logic so that GR date ( LTAP-WDATU) would automatically change while creating transfer order or after creation of transfer order as per the "GR date" of same material which last moved from WM managed Storage location (WMS1) to Non WM managed storage location(ODS) because as per FIFO material dated before that would not be exist in the warehouse.
    Below is the flow of the material while transferring to production & returning from production.
    WMS1 ( WM managed warehouse ) --> ODS ( Non WM managed warehouse) --> Production  At the time of issue to production
    Production --> ODS ( Non WM managed warehouse) --> WMS1 ( WM managed warehouse ) At the time of return from production
    I hope i m clear on my requirement.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. You have to get a key from SAP to modify the two includes in which the user exits are present.
    2. You have to enter statement 'INCLUDE z**. ' in both user exits in the MV45* includes. Then save and activate the MV45** includes.
    3. You have to figure out the code that carries out the functionality described in your specifications.
    3. Write the code in includes Z** .
    4. Now the code written by you will be executed when you run the relevant SD transaction

    hi,
    This is Raghu, plz send any documents regarding on Implimentation projects....surely will assign full points.
    with regards..

    Hi,
    *Steps*
    Start with Reports. What the client is using. What he is expecting.
    If he got existing reports map the fields with Business Content BW Fields. Go to Business content and make a list of queries which are delivered from SAP. Explain them the KPI's. This should be good to start with. Also check the Tcodes they use.
    Look for DataSources that get data from theses Tcode's.
    Project Preparation (Initial stuff -- Do a conceptual review after this phase requirements gathering)
    Collect requirement thru interviews with Business teams /Core users / Information Leaders.
    Study & analyze KPI's (key figures) of Business process.
    Identify the measurement criteria's (Characteristics).
    Understand the Drill down requirements if any.
    Understand the Business process data flow if any.
    Identify the needs for data staging layers in BW – (i. e need for ODS if any)
    Understand the system landscape.
    Prepare Final Requirements Documents in the form of Functional Specifications containing:
    Report Owners, Data flow, KPI's, measurement criteria's, Report format along with drilldown requirements.

    Check Business content against the requirements
    Check for appropriate
    Info Objects - Key figures & Characters
    Check for Info cubes / ODS
    Check for data sources & identify fields in source system
    Identify Master data document all the information in a file – follow standard templates
    Prepare final solution
    Identify differences (Gaps) between Business Content & Functional specification.
    Propose new solutions/Developments & changes if required at different levels such as Info Objects, Info cube, Data source etc. Document the gaps & respective solutions proposed– follow standard templates
    Design & Documentation
    Design the ERD & MDM diagrams for each cube & related objects
    Design the primary keys/data fields for intermediate Storage in ODS
    Design the Data flow charts right from data source up to Cube.
    Consider the performance parameters while designing data models
    Prepare High level / Low level design documents for each data model. --- Follow standard templates
    Identify the Roles & Authorizations required and Document it – follow standard templates
    Final review of design with core BW users.
    Sign off the BBP documents
    Realization ( Develop; Do a configuration review after this phase)
    Check & Apply Latest Patches/Packages ...in BW & R/3 systems.
    Activate/Build & enhance the cubes/ODS as per data model designs...maintain the version documents.
    Identify & activate Info objects / Master data info sources / attributes, prepare update rules
    Assign data sources .prepare transfer rules, prepare multi providers. Prepare Info packages.
    Perform the unit testing for data loads….both for master data & transaction data.

    Create authorizations / Roles …assign to users..And test
    Apply necessary patches & Notes if any freeze & release the final objects to quality systems
    perform quality tests.
    Re design if required. (Document changes, maintain versions)
    Final Preparation ( QA and Other final stuff before moving to production, Do a performance Review after this phase)
    Prepare the final check list of objects to be released .identify the dependencies & sequence of release perform Go Live checks as recommended by SAP in production system
    Keep up to date Patch Levels in Production system
    Test for production scenarios in a pre-production system which is a replica of production system.
    Do not encourage the changes at this stage.
    Freeze the objects.
    Go Live and support ( to production and support)
    Keep up to date Patch Levels
    Release the objects to production system
    Run the set ups in R/3 source system & Initialize Loads in BW
    Schedule Batch jobs in R/3 system (Delta loads)

  • Please  implementation help

    I am new to BI7. My boss was telling me that I should be starting a Is- manufacturing project from requirements gathering and the areas involved are sd,mm,pp,fi,hr.
    Also it is a greenhouse implementation, and I will have to extract data from R/3 4.6, ecc 6, oracle.
    My boss asked me if I could throw some light on the issues which are of concern to me, issues like what I should be asking the company people . I myself worked as a part of team before, but now I am the only one in the project so if anyone could help me through.
    The problem is I may have to visit the client and give the feedback to my boss and my team which is elsewhere(outsourced). So please tell me things which are of primary concern.

    Hi Friend,
    Start with Reports. What the client is using. What he is expecting.
    If he got existing reports map the fields with Business Content BW Fields. Go to Business content and make a list of queries which are delivered from SAP. Explain them the KPI's. This should be good to start with. Also check the Tcodes they use.
    Look for DataSources that get data from theses Tcode's.
    Project Preparation (Initial stuff -- Do a conceptual review after this phase requirements gathering)
    Collect requirement thru interviews with Business teams /Core users / Information Leaders.
    Study & analyze KPI's (key figures) of Business process.
    Identify the measurement criteria's (Characteristics).
    Understand the Drill down requirements if any.
    Understand the Business process data flow if any.
    Identify the needs for data staging layers in BW – (i. e need for ODS if any)
    Understand the system landscape.
    Prepare Final Requirements Documents in the form of Functional Specifications containing:

  • Ora-00600 while Refreshing data from Source DB

    Hi Folks,
    Actually i have an ODS system on Target database which has Mappings to source DB. Both DBs are 10.1.0.4.
    Most of the refreshes are susccuful excpet for one large mapping.
    I got this in the Source DB alert.log :
    ## Mon Jun 16 12:21:38 2008
    ## Errors in file /oracle/admin/PPRD/bdump/pprd_mmon_1911.trc:
    ## ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ktte_verify_tsth], [], [], [], [], [], [], ## []
    ## Mon Jun 16 12:21:42 2008
    ## Restarting dead background process MMON
    ## MMON started with pid=45, OS id=17487
    ## Mon Jun 16 12:21:45 2008

    ## ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ktte_verify_tsth], [], [], [], [], [], [], ## []
    When i logged an SR with Oracle, they didn't help me because the DB is no longer supported ( 10.1.0.4 ) !
    The metalink has some bugs that hit this issue but the problem that this used to work fine.
    My servers are on Solaris Sparc 64-bit
    Please advise Gurus,
    Cheers,
    Feras

    Hi,
    We have a BANNER system which uses a cross product called ODS ( Operational Data Storage ) . ODS is a datawarehouse DB and we run ETL Jobs to refresh data from source DB to ODS database. Jobs which contains PL/SQL insert/update/delete code. When we run one of the heavy refresh processes, we face the issue above.
    Please Advise,
    Cheers,
    Feras
