VIRTUAL PROVIDERS LOAD

Hi all,
among the statistic cubes on BI 7.0, there are also the VIRTUAL cubes (0TCT_VC01, 0TCT_VC02, 0TCT_VC03).
I loaded the basic cubes by Infopackages without problem, but
If I try to overview data into corresponding virtual cubes from RSA1, two messages appear:
Error reading the data of InfoProvider 0TCT_VC02;
There is still no data source assigned to VirtualProvider 0TCT_VC02.
I also tryed to follow the message text and choose the Activate Direct Access function to select a data source, but the related data source already exist.
Now some questions:
- How can I check if the virtual cubes loading works?
- How can I see the data without above errors?
- Where can I found some complete documentation about Virtual Providers loading?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Claudia,
Be sure to Activate Direct Access. For 0TCT_VC02 it should be assigned to a source system corresponding with your BW logical system. Then you must execute Process Chains 0TCT_C0_INIT_P01 and 0TCT_C0_DELTA_P01.

Andreu

Virtual providers in BI 7.0

Whats is the key difference in Virtual providers suing BAPI and Functionmodules?
i know about vietual provider based on DTP.
i know about BAPI and Functionmodules too.
But wat is the difference Between BAPI and Function Module?

Hi ,
BAPI stands for Business Application Programming Interface. It is a library of functions that are released to the public as an interface into an existing SAP system from an external system.
RFC is the protocol used to call functions in an R/3 system by a caller external to R/3 or to call programs external to R/3 from an R/3 system.
Functions can only be called via RFC, if they are tagged as RFC functions in the SAP development workbench. They are then called RFC function modules. BAPIs are complete sets of (BAPI) function modules that model a business application.
When you are familiar with web developments: RFC can be compared to HTTP and BAPIs are CGI applications.
In other words: A BAPI function is a function module that can be called remotely using the RFC technology.
BAPI's are RFC enabled API's where as FM's are not.
FM :
actualy function module is used for external subrotine inside sap server its supports for only local excution programs
BAPI :
its as similar to function module but we need to follow some rules while creating bapi function module thats it.
its used for communicate in between sap server and non sap server.
Most of the companies thay are maintain not only sap server for their Business thay maintain non sap like vb, .net .
so using this bapi two srvers are sharing their data through bapi import, export, tables parameters......
what is BAPI?
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.

Using Multiproviders and Virtual Providers

Hi Everyone,
I have just created some virtual providers in our BW Dev environment. I have also created a Multiprovider on those Virtual Providers, so that we can report off all of the VP's. I have also created different BW source systems, in order for us to look at data from different boxes. I did an Activate Direct Access on all VP's for the three BW source systems that I want to report against.
I have a couple questions.
1. When I attempt to run a query against that Multiprovider, it generates a short dump on one of the BW source systems (TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED). I guess it's trying to extend memory on an internal table, but I'm barely returning any data, so I don't understand why it would do that. Is anyone familiar with this?
2. When I attempt to run a query against that Multiprovider for the other BW source system I created, it doesn't even try and remote into it. All my BW source systems have the same properties, other than their server information. Does anyone know if we're limited to the amount of source systems we can use as an Activate Direct Access on a VP?
Please let me know if you can help.
Thanks,
John

Short text
No more storage space available for extending an internal table.
What happened?
You attempted to extend an internal table, but the required space was
 not available.
The internal table "\PROGRAM=GP4FUVGPUVXRMVKI98TNSALEQMM\FORM=SELECT_DATA\DATA=
L_T_TFSTRUCT" could not be further extended. To enable
error handling, the table had to be delete before this log was written.
As a result, the table is displayed further down or, if you branch to
the ABAP Debugger, with 0 rows.
At the time of the termination, the following data was determined for
the relevant internal table:

Providers load order conflict (ExceptionInInitializerError)

Hello, I have a problem when using several java.security.Provider (BouncyCastleProvider and SunJCE), by the sight, the order in which they are loaded is the problem.
If load BouncyCastleProvider at position 1, and SunJCE in the 2, (following code) is throwed java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider(), 1);
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt(new com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE(), 2);
SecretKeyFactory kf = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMDAndDES"); // throws ExceptionInInitializerErrorIf the position are another (SunJCE at 1, and BouncyCastle 2)
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt(new com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE(), 1);
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider(), 2);
SecretKeyFactory kf = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMDAndDES"); // it works well!yes works well (need that BouncyCastle exist at position 1), but I have problems soon, with my jar library that uses BouncyCastleProvider (which I cannot modify).
I have tried to do the following:
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider(), 1);
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt(new com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE(), 2);
Provider sunJCEProv = java.security.Security.getProvider("SunJCE");
SecretKeyFactory kf = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMDAndDES", sunJCEProv); // does not work either (ExceptionInInitializerError)here I am indicating him the Provider (SunJCE), but seems to take in any case bouncycastle (the Provider in the position 1).
The full stackTrace of the exception is:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
     AT javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(DashoA12275)

     AT javax.crypto.SunJCE_b.b(DashoA12275)
     AT javax.crypto.SunJCE_q.run(DashoA12275)Some idea?
Thanks to all!

First off, Im assuming the algorithm you're dealing with is actually
PBEWithMD5AndDES (not MD without the 5).
With that, Ive done some experiments and it seems to be dependent on
where in the java.security file you have the BC provider.
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security
If my java.security settings look like this (other providers omitted from post)
all 3 of your tests work:
security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
security.provider.2=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
However, if its reversed like this none work.
security.provider.1=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
security.provider.2=sun.security.provider.Sun
I thought the insertProviderAt() call worked independently of the java.security
settings and would override them. In this case it seems like something
else is going on...
So try making BouncyCastleProvider #2 behind Sun in your java.security file and see what happens.

Virtual Instrument loading problem

Has anyone else encountered this in 8.01 please? It's intermittent but frustrating.
I have a default project that contains, amongst other tracks, 8 virtual instrument tracks. Since 8.01, I keep getting a situation where I select a track, pick a preset from the library, record a few bar on a loop, switch record off but keep the looped recording playing, select the track below (track name box turns lighter grey), go to the library and pick another preset - only for it to overwrite the instrument on the previous track instead of load it into the new track!
Anyone else getting this? If it's a factor, I usually start with an arrange window screenset that doesn't show the library, then switch to another set with the library already open using the number keypad when I want to access new sounds - and then switch back to the other screenset to reveal more arrange window space again..
So far I haven't lost anything important, but can imagine editing a sound on one track and then accidentally losing it before it's saved.
Undo doesn't seem to take you back to the previous preset either.
I'm using 8.01 and Tiger on an 8-core Intel Mac.

Sorry if it's not too helpful, but all I can say is that VG2 is working fine as an instrument on my intel Mac Pro.
A quick glance at the 'info' screen tells me it's version 2.0.0.419
I'm still on OS 10.4.8 as well, since I've been too busy to attempt the 10.49 update... Maybe that's a factor as well.
good luck with it.

Virtual Machine Load Balancing

I have two Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V servers running in a cluster and I have VMM 2012 R2 running in the environment. I want to setup my cluster so the VM's will load balance between my two hosts. How can I go about doing that? I've read that it's possible
but I've been unable to figure out how to get the hosts to load balance.

Virtual providers

Hi gurus
What is virtual info object and key figure. How it works in a report ?

Hi Vidhu,
Virtual key figures are key figures within an InfoProvider that are not filled with data. Instead the key figure value is determined at runtime of the query using custom ABAP coding (the same is true for virtual characteristics)..
Some coding samples:

Virtual Machine Loaded on Different Hosts

Hi,
I was wondering if it would be possible to create a virtual PC using Microsoft's Hyper V that could be used on two different hosts? My idea would be to shut down the virtual PC on my physical PC, when I am done using it. Then, my coworker would
open up the virtual PC on his physical PC use it. I am somewhat new to virtual PC's and don't even know if this could be done.

You have opportunity to start replication from the first PC to second PC.
All your changes copy to second PC, but changes dont copy back.

Query on a virtual provider (nearlined) locks indexing

Hi,
We have a few queries that are on the virtual providers. These are nearlined (SAND) data. When a user execute this query, a lock is established in SM12 on the RSDDTREXDIRTABL table with the virtual provider name as the argument. Due to this lock, any SIDs that are part of the virtual provider are not able to index in BWA. Since the queries on the virtual providers are usually long running ones, the indexing waits and finally fails. We plan to increase the wait time settings in the RSDDTREXADMIN table.
Why does a virtual provider query locks the SID? Is it because, the queries simulate a realtime data load from the nearline storage and in the process simulate SID generation (eventhough these SIDs are existing in BW and not yet archived).
Anyone dealt with a similar issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Murali

Hello Murali,
I don't think this scenario has been tested much. Please open a customer message so SAP support can analyze the issue.

Error reading the data of InfoProvider 0TCT_VC11
There is still no data source assigned to VirtualProvider 0TCT_VC11
The virtual providers are of type "virtual provider based on DTP" since standard technical content didnt have any DTPs for the VC cubes I tried to create some direct access DTPs based on datasources 0TCT_DS11 but there also getting error:
Source doesnt support direct access
I saw the type for datasource 0TCT_DS11 and its using SAP SAPI and not direct access and couldnt change the type actually the same datasource is also used by cube 0TCT_C11 so changing the type probably wouldnt have been a good idea.
I found the following notes 996735 and implemented its change...but no use...
we are on SP10 and content 7.03 SP2. Can anybody please help??

Hi all,
The above mentioned solution is a good idea but in this context not appropriate as it aims at resolving an issue in the delivered Content Version of 0TCT_VC11.
In your case, you already have 0TCT_VC11 activated and you can not read any data from this VirtualProvider in queries. Right?
In that case, you have to:
1. Check that the entire data flow is active for the InfoProvider (activation should occur for the MYSELF source system): 0TCT_VC11 with InfoSource 0TCT_IS11 with DataSource 0TCT_DS11
2. Activate the direct access for the VirtualProvider (Context menu of 0TCT_VC_11 > Activate Direct Access > Source Syst. for InfoSource3.x > Mark the column with the MYSELF source system and Save).
This corresponds to Installation "Step 5.) Activate direct access for virtual providers" that is mentioned in SAP Note 934848 "Collective note: (FAQ) BI Administration Cockpit".

XP mode on Win7 Pro x64, windows xp update/svchost pushes CPU to 100% in virtual machine.

Installed xp mode on a win7 pro, dell 490 with xeon cpu. The install goes without error, win xp virtual machine loads nicely, I do not enable updates at the config during 1st startup. When Automatic update is enabled later control panel shows svchost is
pushing the cpu to 100% and the update never completes.

Hi,
1. try to run XP in safe mode by F8
2. then change Automatic update service to Manual or Disable.
3.boot XP into normal mode and see weather its still 100%.
thanks
How do you start safe mode when running XP Mode in Win 7? When you start XP Mode, the BIOS is hidden. By the time the XP Mode window comes up, its already loading the Windows desktop.

Long Query Runtime/Web-template Loading time

Hi,
We are having a very critical performance issue, i.e. long query runtime, which is certainly not acceptable by client as well.
Background Information
We are using web application designer (WAD) 2004s release to design front end of our reports built in BI 7.0 system.
Problem Area
Loading of web template on browser
Problem Analysis
Query taking so long time to run, whenever we load it through portal or even directly through web application designer. Current runtime for query is more than a min. And I have noticed that 95% of runtime is taken for loading variable screen. FYI if I run query through Query Designer or BEx Analyzer, it takes 3-5 seconds to execute.
We have taken all the statistics and everything proves that query is not taking any time to execute but its the loading time which creates bottle neck.
Possible Cause
Web template holding 11 data providers, 5 of which are based on queries and rest are on query views. These data providers load into memory in parallel which could cause delay.
These data providers expose detailed variable screens. Out of 21 input fields, exposed by web template, 8 fields are based on hierarchy node variables and 1 on hierarchy variable. And to my knowledge each time hierarchy/hierarchy node variable loads complete hierarchy into memory whenever they are called (in other words, its not performance efficient to use hierarchies).
I request you to please consider this as matter of high priority and provide me with suggestions to remove bottle necks and make the application performance efficient. Please let me know, if you need any further information.
Thanks.

I would recommend you see how long the query execution actually takes without running from the web template. If actually the individual query takes long time then you need to do some performance improvement on back-end side (aggregates, indexing,... and so on).
But the performance issue is only with web templates, then you need to find some notes on it, because, I remember we had to apply some notes in relations of browser taking too long time to load the selection screen in web reports.
After exhausting all the option, then I will implement precalculating the query result before hand using broadcaster.
thanks.

Load Balancing with WLS 9.2.2

Hi -
We have an application that is deployed in a WLS cluster with a virtual IP/load balancer in front of the application. We have tried setting the FrontEnd HTTP Host and ports at the cluster level and at the individual server level but when we check the advertised endpoint for the Web Services they return the individual host name and not the name of the load balancer (as configured with the HTTP FrontEnd settings).
The application is written in ALBPM 6.0 and since this is the application that is likely constructing the endpoint as advertised in the WSDL there may be a setting that is overriding the FrontEndHTTP settings (or it may just ignore them altogether)
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

I have seen similar issue before with WebLogic 9.2. It turned out to be a know issue CR291549
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs92/issues/known_resolved.html
As it says , it is fixed on 9.2 MP1.
In general maintenance packs are cumulative , however you might want to check with Oracle support to see this issue is resolved in WebLogic 9.2 MP2 !!

Virtual provider scenario's

Hi All,
Please share your valuable experience about virtual cube creation. share some real scenario's when we go for virtual cube creation in SAP BI.
Regards,
Om Ambulker

Hi,
Basically Virtual Providers are used,
1) When you have very infrequent reporting requirement and you don't want to store your data in BI system.
2) When the report consumers are very less and they need most updated data for reporting.
3) When you want to use Non sap data for reporting and don't want to store data in BI.
Regards,
Durgesh.
