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.

Data Extraction in Open Hub Destination using Process Chain

Hi
I want to extract data in Open Hub Destination (database table)from Data Store Object(ODS) through Process Chain.
When i tried to create process chain, i found only one option under Process types - Data export into External System. Here it asks for Infospoke instead of Open Hub Destination.

Michael is correct and below is the rationale...

<b>Integration</b>
You can use the data transfer process to update data to the open hub destination. The data is transformed in this process. Not all rules types are available in the transformation for an open hub destination: Formulas, reading master data, time conversion, currency translation and unit conversion are not available.
Hope it Helps

SAP BI 7.0 to SAP PI to FTP and with Open Hub Destination ...Help!!!!

Dear SCN Experts,
I am currently working on scenario where I have a requirement to push data from SAP BI 7.0 to SAP PI 7.
And I am using Client proxy for SAP BI to send the data from BI tables to SAP PI and then to write to FTP address.
Now the challenge I am facing is the ABAP Proxy how to use it with Process Chain and also I am having Open hub destination created for the same.(Specifically with the new version i.e. 7.0)
Can you atleast make me understand what are the steps involved in this for Client Proxy, Process Chaing, How will proxy trigger and other regarding the same.
I have searched SDN but got the document having older versions in it. Which doesn't serve the purpose.
Regards,
[Gaurav Patwari|http://gauravpatwari.wordpress.com]

Hi Michal,
Thanks for the reply buddy.
I know that we can run the scheduled report for the proxy to fetch the report. But the client requirement is to use process chain, Open hub destination which fetches data from the ODS to Ztable created.
We need to fetch that data from the table via our proxy. I am familiar with that report related method.
I have one document using the same method but is using Infospoke(which is now obsolete) so have to OHD and also some of the proxy of XI's older version. So is not helping me out.
Please do the needful. Or can you send me some sample scenario like this with screen shots. It will be a great help.

Open hub destination of text and attribute for Functional Area

Hi Expert
I have a requirement to accommodate both attribute ( 0FUNCT_LOC_ATTR) and text ( 0FUNCT_LOC_TEXT ) for functional area in open hub destination .For this a DSO has been created from both 0FUNCT_LOC_ATTR, 0FUNCT_LOC_TEXT data sources .Problem is that DSO has 0FUNCT_AREA ( Functional Area ) as only key fields . So text for both english ( EN ) and Dutch ( NL) for particular 0FUNCT_AREA not getting loaded .If we assign both 0LANGU and 0FUNCT_AREA as composite key of dso , data from attribute transformation is loaded as blank as there is no language filed in attribute data source ( 0FUNCT_LOC_ATTR ). Please let me know how can I design to accommodate both text for different language and functional area for open hub destination .
I know that I can create separate open hub destination for master data TEXT and Attribute.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards
Saikat

HI Saikat,
You can create an additional characteristics counter and make it a key field in the DSO.After that we can populate this characteristics in the end routine .It value would increase by 1 everytime different text comes for the same functional area.
Sample code
data: counter type n,
w_farea type /bio/oifunc_area.
Sort result_package by func_area.
count =0.
*checking whether we have the same functional area or we have a different functional area.
Loop at result_package assigning <Result_fields>.
if w_farea is initial or w_farea = <result_fields>-func_area.
count = count +1.
else
count =1.
endif.
w_farea= <result_fields>-func_area.
<Result_fields>-zcount = count.
ENDLOOP.
Clear w_farea.
This way the value of counter would get increased by one everytime a new text comes for the same functional area.We can have any number of texts for the same functional area by this method.
The only issue would be when some delta update comes for the existing text in this method.If you are doing a full load to the DSO from the datasource, then there would be no issue with this method.

Open Hub Destination - SAP CRM

Hi,
We would like to transfer bulk data from SAP BI (Data Store Object) into SAP CRM. Performance of APD has been very poor. As an alternative, we are checking the feasibility of using InfoSpoke/Open Hub service to transfer data from data store object to ADS (analytical data store i.e. custom table in CRM).
Has any one tried this before?
Can we use remote database (i.e. not SAP BI) in open hub destination?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi ,
Yes I have used Info Spoke/Open Hub service to transfer data from my SAP BI to other Sap system.
We have a process chain which has start node and 3 parallel node extracting data from 3 different ODS.
All 3 nodes are connected to a AND node , after then there is a programmer (Unix script) which has does FTP, Abap program can also be used for this.
While doing FTP , give destination address CRM system.
I am sure this will work.

Open Hub destination in BI 7.0

I am trying to create an open hub destination to extract data from an mutiprovider to BPC, when I get the step where I need to assign the infocube to the open hub destination, I cannot find the mutiprovider from the drop down menu, is this means that open hub cannot use the mutiprovider as the data source?

Hi,
Infocubes, DataStore Objects or Infoobjects(attributes or texts) can be used as open hub data sources.
Please refer below link:

Open Hub Destination transports

Hi Experts..
We have crated Open Hub destinations to pull data from ODS to DB table in BI 7.0. But while transport the transformations for OHD are failing with transformation becoming inactive with error messageu201D Target ODSO ZODS*** does not exist" But the ODS is present in QA system and is in active version.
So can any one pls help me to know the proper sequence for Open Hub Destination transport and the necessary objects to be captured in the request? Currently I had captured OHD, transformation and DTP in the same request.
<removed by moderator>
Regards,
Umesh.

Send the OHD in one request, transformations in one request, then DTP in another request.
When club transformations & DTP together it fails in my experience.

To view the data in open hub destination

Hi all,
Can anyone help me out how to check the data in open hub destination file.
These are the details:
Destination: File
Type of file : Logical file
Application Server file name : XXXXXXX
If it was file name, i know it has to be checked in AL11 with directory name and file name.
Here its a logical file name. Which is the directory corresponding to this?
Thanks,
tinkugeo

Hi,
Question: "Are all the logical files are saved in the home directory DIR_HOME?
Please correct me if I am wrong"
Ans: When you create an Open hub destination using Physical file, the file will get created in DIR_HOME directory (by default) in AL11
And for locating the physical path in AL11. Go through the below link. it gives ans to all your ques

Data selection in new Open Hub destination Vs Infospoke

In BW 3.5, we can use T code RSBO to create Infospoke, In the selection tab, we can use any infoobject in the source infocube as the data filterfor the infoSpoke, e.g I can set company code as 1002 etc, while in the new BI 7.0, Open Hub Destination, where I can achieve the same by set the filter for a specific infoobject in the source cude?

For Open Hub in BI7 we are creating transformation and DTP. The same resrtiction you can give in DTP (activate it after change).

Multiple data sources to open hub destination ??

Hi,
Is it possible to assign multiple data sources to open hub destination?
At present we are FTP'ing a file to users. Users need one more field added to this file. The information for this field belongs to another ODS. I checked the infospoke but it does not accept multiple data sources.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Edited by: BI Quest on Sep 4, 2008 8:12 PM

You can create multiple transformations for open hub destination. Create destination of open hub destination to be file on application server and then use transfer mechanism to transfer files to desired destination.

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.

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.
