Virtual Infoprovider with DB2 as source system.

Hi Experts,
Can we create a Virtual / Remote Cube with DB2 as a source system.?
Are there any specific systems that are supported by SAP to create a Virtual infoprovider.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hardik Luthra

Hello
we have the same problem.
the problem is a security-problem that the user SAPServiceSID isn't in the group DB2ADMNS.
After Restart Service and SAP the db2-connect runs fine

Virtual InfoProvider with Function module, how to u0094bypassu0094 OLAP memory

Hi
I have created a Virtual Infoprovider with services as described in the How to Implement a VirtualProvider with Services (SAP NetWeaver 2004s). It works and I have even been able to make some special calculations within the code. But how do I make sure that the OLAP engine always fetches data from the source table eg when drilling or filtering in the front-end? I have disabled the query cache but I also need to disable the OLAP engines own cache / memory how do I do that? I need the functionality as the implemented calculations depend on the overall report result and they must be calculated before aggregation.
Hope that you can help
Kristian

Hi Deepu
As I wrote, I have allready set the cache Mode to "0 Cache is Inactive". But this is the the general data cache i.e. reuse of data among users this is not deep enough. I need to make sure that each and every query step goes to the DB for new data.

Delta Loads failling after system copy with error in source system(RSM340)

Hi Guru's
We recently performed system copy in BI side.I am facing same issue in couple of chains.Process chains are failing at delta loads with error in source system(ERROR IN SOURCE SYSTEM-message no-RSM340 ).When I go for repeat option ,delta loads are running fine.I did some research regarding RSM340 and I found note:1576331.
But my system is not showing any 'Time Inconsistencies'.So.I was not able to find any clue about it.
Could anybody help me out in this aspect.
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Check whether the profiles that ran in background have the following authorizations.
The RFC user on BW, receiving data from OLTP system, should have S_BI-WHM_RFC and S_RS_ALL in the user profile.
The RFC user on OLTP, receiving request from BW system, should have S_BI-WX_RFC, S_IDOC_ALL, and, B_ALE_ALL in the user profile.

Difference between General remote cube and virtual infoprovide with service

Hi guys,
I could not understand the difference between general remote cube and virtual infoprovider technically. And I could not find the document about how to set general remote cube.
I only find the following sources.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/23/c0234239f75733e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
"In comparison to other VirtualProviders, this VirtualProvider is more generic. It offers more flexibility, but also requires a higher implementation effort.".
I am welcome your lecture. Especially I would like to know how to set general remote cube..
Kind regards,
Masaaki

Hi,
You better take a look on the link:

How to create Virtual InfoProvider with Services - Virtual Characteristic

Hi all,
I need to create a virtual infoprovider that also fills a virtual characteristic in order to display custom characteristics and calculated values based on user selection.
Basicaly what I want to do is send a variable in a virtual characteristic equal to the values I want to fill in the characteristic. So for instance if my base cube contains the infoobjects Brand, Product Line, Region and Country I want a have a new infoobject that has no data, but fills itself with the vales of the infoobject I specify at query time on the virtual cube.
The reason for this is I am trying to create a WAD using the delta chart (waterfall graph) that will show the difference between the plan and actual totals for a specific characteristic in Profitibility analysis.
I have a document that explains the situation. Send me your mail address and I will send you the document.
Kind Regards

We found a way to build the structure for this.

Connection to ByDesign with a ODP Source system: Logical port creation on CO_RSDSPX_ODP_IN

Hello,
I am trying to connect my ByDesign Could server to the our BW Server by an ODP Source system.
I tried applying what SAP recommend:

Do you have any idea ?
Also, i was unable to use any Consumer Service directly ... I am not a Basis and don't understand what configuration needs to be done.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Did you create consumer proxy for the service you like to consume ?
It looks like your WSDL and Consumer proxy are not the same ?
Or you could create Logical Port Manually, but it will fail on provider side because the message you are sending and the provider of the service are not the same.
Manual Configuration
The system uses a user-specified binding URL to create a logical port. You need to specify a unique name for the logical port.
Thank You

Using Virtual InfoProvider with DBConnect

Hi all,
I'd want to use a virtual InfoProvider in order to acces Teradata database live. Can I use DBConnect? I know that it is possible to use UDC with the version 3.5. But in my case, we have the version 3.0.x. Is there somedy that can help me to align me with the best solution or some documentation.
Thanks very much!

Datasources . problem with the new Source System

Hi friends!
The ECC client were copy and now I have a new source system for this.
If I select source system / verify, the msg is: ok
In can read some data from the new ECC (ie: exchange rates updated), but I can not read any records using the datasources.
The replication in Bi were done, and the data in source system is ok.
-> What is wrong?
Thanks!

Check the profile parameters in WE20,We21... and also check scc4

Deletion of Data from Infoprovider after upgradation of source system

HI All,
In our project source system is upgraded from 4.7 to ecc 6.
I have kept the same logical name and changed the RFC connection so that it points to new source system.
Now do i need to delete all data before uploading data from source system or it will be fine as source system name is same.
If i need to delete data ,can u help me how to delete master data especially Hierarchy data. do we need to Delete Hierarchy and recreate it.
Please help em to resolve this issue

Hi,
It depends on your requirements whether you have to keep the history or not.
If you delete the data from your info providers, you have to reload everything from scratch.
If you want to delete the data from all
1. first delete the data in data targets such as cubes, DSO's or ODS then
2. master data
use these programs to delete from se38
-> rsdrd_delete_facts - for Cubes and DSO or ODS
-> rsdmd_del_background - for master data in background
-> rsdmd_del_master_data_texts - for master data right away
manage your master data info objetcs after the deletion, if you still find them....
go to se14 and delete individually each and every table such as attributes, texts, sids, hierarchy.
hope it helps you better.
But I dont recommend you to delete try to load full repair options for all yur loads

Virtual Infoprovider with Transactional Infocube datasource??

Hi Gurus,
I need to use Virtual Infoprovider which is reading data from a Transactional infocube.
Virtual Infoprovider does not read yellow request in transactional cube. Is there a way to read this yellow request too? When I display transactional cube content I can see records which belong to yellow request. Virtual Infoprovider should see these records too I think.
We cannot change yellow state to green because business is continuously entering data to transactional cube.
Thanks in advance,
ergin

Hi,
refer this link for details about how to read yellow requests or change to green.

Virtual infoprovider with services - Navigational attributes

Hi all,
I have a basic cube in BI system- X , and created a virtual cube in another BI system Y with services to read data from basic cube of BI system X . In BI system Y we built a report on virtual cube. This report (on virtual cube in BI system Y) is using a characteristics say Product group ( which is a navigational attributes of prodect in BI system X).
DataFlow is as under:
Basic cube in BI system X:
Product
Year
Amount
and Product group is switched on as navigational attributes in this basic cube.
Virtual cube in BI system Y:
Product group
Year
Amount
Report in BI system Y:
Product group in rows
Amount in column
This report is not working.
If I do the the following changes as follows then it works:
1.Use Product instead of product group in report
2. Switch off navigational attributes in basic cube.
We are in BW 3.5 and navigational attributes option is ticked on for virtual cube.
In summary, If I do not use navigational attributes in report and switch off navigational attributes from basic cube then report shows data.
Could you please help me to figure out the issue.
Thanks,
Harry

Thanks Naga,
Yes, I tried adding product in virtual cube as well but it did not work. Secondly, we do not want to add product in virtual cube because of data aggregation.
Most strange thing is that, once we switch on any navigational attributes on basic cube, function module stop working (paasing any data to virtual cube report). report says no appropriate data found. We are using sap standard function module "RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC". I debegged this code and no data in internal tables.
If we switch off all navigational attributes from basic/source cube this function module provide data to internal tables in code.
Why function module is behaving like that.
You guys experience/support/any clue will be appreciated highly.
Thanks,
Harry

Virtual cube with services after copy system from PRD to SBox

Hi
I have problem.
The Virtual cube 0FIGL_VC1 with FM "RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC1"
works well on PRD but not on SBox.
I think, i did everything on SBox in t-code SM59, WExx.
Infopackages load data from connected (not R3-PRD but R3-SBox) system perfectly.
What I must do with this virtual cube so that it works well ?
Regards

Hi Adam
FM "RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC1"
takes data from basic cube "0FIGL_C01" not from R3
See t-code se37, tab "Import" and parameter Name "I_BASIC_INFOPROV".
If you have a problem with charging data, see this parameter
or rather basic cube and data transfer to this cube.

Using ChaRm with 2 Development (source) systems

Good Day;
Before I get into the full description of an issue we are facing. I would like to know if anyone out there is using ChaRM and has 2 development systems defined.
Regards
Don

Thanks Avinash
This is the problem I am having
We have 2 landscapes each with a development and quality system. Also there is a single volume test system. Both landscapes point to a single production system. So it would look like this
DW3           DW4
QW1           QW2
           VW1
            PW1
The DW3 landscape is defined as the production landscape (normal releases) and the DW4 landscape is defined as the emergency landscape. The emergency landscape is synchronized with the production landscape during a normal release.
The migration path for a normal release would be DW3, QW1, VW4, (now synchronizing) DW4, QW2, PW1.
The migration path for an emergency fix would be DW4, QW2, VW4 (if performance testing is required), PW1.
All these systems are defined in the ChaRM landscape
When a task list is generated, you are asked which development system, DW3 or DW4. When the task list is generated, it starts at DW4, QW2, PW1, DW3, QW1, PW1 (We have not defined a volume VW4 system in or test landscape).
As well when a creating a transport, and DW3 is selected, ChaRm generates an error stating the task list is out of sequence,
You will notice that the task list goes to PW1 twice. Is there a way to generate the task list in the correct order. DW3, QW1, DW4, QW2 and PW1.
Regards
Don Newton

BEx Integration with different source systems

Hi All
I know we can create BEx querys on top of an infoprovider. But instead of storing data into BW and creating reports using BEx tools can we integrate BEx with the other source systems. Like Business Objects tool which can be integrated with different sources. My client wants to know whether we can integrate with BEx for the following
Support data source -- SAP BW
Support data source -- Oracle
Support data source -- MS SQL Server
Support data source -- MS Access
Support data source -- MS Excel
Support data source -- ASCII Text files
Support data source -- XML/XSD
Support data source -- Web Services
Support data source -- SAP R/3
Support data source -- BO Universe
Thanks for letting me know your opinions

Hi,
in theory you can. You will still have a virtual provider on top of your Infosource which will be connected to your datasource; thus you'll have to create the structures; you'll have to load master data as well... so not so nice solution if you think that at this stage, the storage will be the less of your costs....
How are you going to deal with R/3 data?? I mean a great advantage of BW is really when you have an R/3 behind...
I'd rather consolidate all these disparate datasources using the Visual compsoer which can get this data out of nearly an datasource and merge them in one single report; in theory again you could implement all BEx functionalities but at which cost and effort??
Weird that a customer is asking such a question because it is usually the other way around: use SAP BW data in another front-end... by the way SAP is going to acquire BO soon....
hope this helps...
Olivier.

Issue with Query on a virtual infoprovider

Hello,
I am getting the following error message while executing a query on a virtual infoprovider. We have recently gone through upgrade from BI 3.5 to BI 7.0 EHP1 (SP5) and from SEM BCS 4.0 to BCS 6.0.
EVersion not specified or not unique                                                             UCR0                006
EError reading the data of InfoProvider ZBCS_CV11                                    DBMAN             305ZBCS_CV11

I>> Row: 11 Inc: RAISE_READ_ERROR Prog: CL_RSDRV_VPROV_BASE   RS_EXCEPTION        301CL_RSDRV_VPROV_BASE
this query has been running fine before the upgrade. In the selection screen there are two fields - version1 and version2, if I am specifying same value in both the fields then the query runs fine and if I am providing different values then the above stated error message appears.
I have tried different settings with properties - Read mode: H,A,X and also different combination from the properties of the virtual infoprovider - with and w/o hierarchies; with and w/o navigation attributes but it did not workout.
the only thing which has changed on this virtual provider is that I had enabled delta caching as this was supposed to be used in a multiprovider.
Has anyone experienced similar issue or have an idea as to what is going wrong here. Please advice.
Regards,
Manish

Hi Manish,
I have exactly the same issue with a query on a virtual infoprovider after upgrading from BI 3.5 to BI 7.0 EHP1 (SP5) and from SEM BCS 4.0 to BCS 6.0.
Would you be so kind to tell me how you fixed this. (other queries seem to be working)
Kind regards,
