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.
Re: FM to read yellow status requests from transactional InfoCube
thnks.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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,

Report issue on Virtual cube with services

Hi,
I'm following a how-to document to report on a virtual cube using a custom function module and everything seems to be OK except it is dumping at the following line which is included in the How To document "How Tou2026Implement a virtual InfoProvider with Services".
Both <l_s_data> and E_T_DATA are of same data types as discussed in the how-to document.
append <l_s_data> to E_T_DATA
These are the declarations which are same as HowTo document
E_T_DATA TYPE STANDARD TABLE
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_s_data> TYPE ANY.
Did any one face this issue. Greatly appreciate any insight into this issue. We are on BW 3.0B.
the dump i'm getting is ...
Data objects in a Unicode program are not convertible.
Error analysis
The statement    "MOVE src TO dst"   requires the operands "dst" and "src" to be comvertible.
Since this statement occurs in a Unicode program, the special convertibility rules for Unicode programs apply.

K____504 is the technical name of Z_SR in virtual provider.
S____504 is the technical name of Z_CRNUM in virtual provider.
E_T_DATA (type standard table) has following structure with a total of 5 fields.

InfoProvider with services

I am playing with creating Virtual cube with services from the document How to Implement a virtual infoprovider with services
I created the Funtion module in R/3 system but got stuck at step 7. I have never worked with FM. What are the things your write in the import tab and export tab for that particular example

Hi,
Maintain the same parameter names and values associated in step 7&8 as shown in the figure.
Import :- you specify all the variables or parameters used in function module. the values for these parameters are passed from external programme and in this example BW must send InfoProvider name, . .etc parameters given in the picture.
Export are the parameters exported from this function module to the external programme in this case Data and other parameters are returned to BW.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Mohan

HPA and transactional Infocubes/BPS

Hi,
With the new HPA concept coming out in NW04s, does anybody know if this concept will work with transactional infocubes that are filled with BPS? In particular, if you want to do real time reporting, will HPA work? It sounds like there needs to some sort of load process run that enables the HPA reporting. This makes it sound like real-time reporting will not be supported by HPA.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
~Matt

Hi Ron,
Thank you for your responses. I do have one follow-up question. Does this mean reporting done off of the HPA data is only as current as the last load? So, there wouldn't be any real-time reporting unless we ran the process every x minutes.
Thanks!
~Matt

How to load data from a virtual cube with services

Hello all,
we have set up a virtual cube with service and create a BEx report to get the data from an external database. That works fine. The question is now:
Is it some how possible to "load" the data from this virtual cube with service (I know that there are not really data...) into an other InfoCube?
If that is possible, can you please give my some guidance how to set up this scenario.
Thanks in advance
Jürgen

Hi:
I don't have system before me, so try this.
I know it works for Remote Cube.
Right Click on the Cube and Select Generate Export Data Source.
If you can do this successfully, then go to Source Systems tab and select the BW. Here, Right CLick on select Replicate DataSources.
Next, go to InfoSOurces, click on Refresh. Copy the name of Virtual Cube and add 8 as a prefix and search for the infosource.
If you can see it, that means, you can load data from this cube to anywhere you want, just like you do to ODS.
ELSE.
Try and see if you can create an InfoSpoke in Virtual Cube. Tran - RSBO.
Here, you can load to a database table and then, from this table, you can create datasource, etc.
ELSE.
Create query and save it as CSV file and load it anywhere you want. This is more difficult.
Good luck

Query ID in Virtual Cube with services-Function module

Hi,
I am using virtual cube with services linked to a function module.
The function module has fixed parameters(such as infoprovider name). None of these parameters consists of query information such as query ID OR queryname .
Do any one know how to determine query which was executed this function module?
Best Regards,
Anil

Hi Claudio,
I never implemented Virtual InfoCube with services with a FM, but I know there is a couple of How To Documents about named:
- How to Reporting from External Data via Virtual InfoProvider
-How to Implement a Virtual InfoCube with Services
both with some code samples: did you read it?
Hope it helps

Virtual Cube with Services - Debugging

I want to debug the function module assigned to a Virtual Cube with services. Using transaction RSRT, I can access the FM using debugger when the query is initially called, by selecting Debug options/Default Breakpoints/VirtualCube. I want to debug subsequent navigation steps on the query. How do I access the debugger for subsequent navigation steps?

Hi Maverick,
You can extract the attributes of the characterstic but u need to configure depending on the function module you are using to read the data from basic infocubes.
I suppose in your FM u are using RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ*(check in your FM to find this) in to get the data from basic infocube. If it is the case then u need to configure interface parameter I_TH_SFC and I_T_RANGE to get the attributes. Hope it helps and if need more let me know the same. If you are using the other function modules you can follow the same logic.
Regards,
Ramana

BAPI based virtual infoprovider

Hi,
in our scenario we'd like to access the data in a cube in an external BI system without having to load the data into our BI. I thought there would be a standard way to do that, but I can't find anything. I was experimenting with BAPI based virtual infoprovider, but I dont see, how can I assign a specific BAPI to my infoprovider, where can I specify what data is to be read an so on. The SAP documentation is a little mysterious about this infoprovider type.
Another solution would be to create a virtual infoprovider based on a function module with the same structure as the source cube and then read the data in the function module over RFC. However, this requires some programming.
Does anyone have a better suggestion for such a requirement?
How exactly does the BAPI based infoprovider work ?
Thanks,
Marek

Just a sugguestion.
If the DataSource is based on a function module, the function module may not be able to process the characteristic value selection. Consider changing the funtion module.
