What is infoset and bw statistic cubes?

hi experts can u give me some idea about the following topics.
1) what is Infoset and why it is used?
2) what are Bw statistic cubes and why are they used?
thanks bye

Hi
Infoset is based on Joins. Infocube, DSO and infoobject can be used to make infoset.
How to Create Infoset Query (SAP Query)
Steps on how to proceed to create a Query:
ADHOC QUERY
A query can be created to extract information from master records i.e Infotypes. For example, by creating a query , the data relating to an employee contained in various Infotypes can be extracted.
Proceedure :
Decide on the various Infotypes we want to make the query. Decide on the area where we want to query i.e Global area or Standard area. Standard area is client specific and globel area will include all clients.
Menu : HR ? PM ? Admn - Information System - Adhoc Query
Select area standard and select the user group already created
Creation of new query :
TC SQ03 - Select Environment ? Select Standard Area - Enter -- If new user group is to be created, enter name of the user group, click on create and enter necessary information and exit after saving
TC SQ02 - Enter name of the Infoset ? Create ? enter name of Infoset - Data source -- > Table join by basis table ? give name of table e.g pa0000 - Enter - Click on insert table if we want to include more tables ? give name of table one by one and after finishing, place cursor on the joining lines and right click to delete unwanted relationships - check - and go back - field groups - include all table fields - click on generate button - go out
TC SQ03 - Select user group - eg. Payroll
Infoset - Enter name of newly created Infoset
Assign users and Infosets - Assign infosets - put tick on payroll - save and go back
TC PAAH - Expand the nodes and put tick on relevant fields depending upon necessity
Save the query by giving the same name as infoset for easyness.
Limitations of Infoset query:
1)Atleast one common infoboject should be present in all the data targets.
2)In BI 7.0 you can include the infocubes also at infoset,but the limitation is max two number of Cubes.
3)According to some join condition only you have to buidl the infoset.

What is Infoset and How to create

HI Experts
Can any one please explain me what is the purpose of INFOSET in BW
and how to create a info Set between A Info Object and Cube
Thanks

Dear bw user,
Check the below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/084e3ce0f9fe3fe10000000a114084/content.htm
Purpose is,
1.To join required data from basic InfoProviders
2.This allows building a relational BI data model with unified views for reporting (seeveral InfoProviders,but only one view). Therefore, we recommend keeping data in smaller, basic InfoProviders that can be flexibly joined for reporting purposes.
3. To allow BEx Reporting on a DataStore object without turning the BEx Reporting indicator on
4. To evaluate time dependencies (for example, join time dependent master data InfoObjects)
5. To be able to create self joins and left outer joins
Creatind in simple steps
Infoset is a Virtual Infoprovider.
Click on InfoProvider under modeling in RSA1 > Select InfoArea > right click Create Infoset > give name and description.
Select the ODS / Master Data Object or more than one ODS and maintain the link.
Infoset works on Join operation.
you can include Infocube if it is BI 7.

Aslo see this link contents
Creating InfoSets
Prerequisites
Make sure that the objects for which you want to define the InfoSet are active. Create any required InfoObjects that do not
exist already and activate them.
Instead of creating a new InfoSet, you can transfer one of the InfoSets that are delivered with SAP Business Content.
Procedure
1. You are in the InfoProvider tree of the Modeling function area in the Administrator Workbench.
Choose the Create InfoSet function from the context menu (right mouse-click) of the InfoArea in which you want to create an
InfoSet. You get to the Create InfoSet dialog box.
2. Type in the following information for your new InfoSet:
¡ technical name
¡ long description
¡ short description
3. In the Start with InfoProvider section, you determine which InfoProvider you want to use to start defining the InfoSet.
¡ Select one of the object types that the system offers you:
ODS Object
InfoObject
Choose an object.
If you want to choose an InfoObject, it must be a characteristic with master data. The system provides you with the
corresponding input help.
4. Choose Continue. You get to the Change InfoSet screen. For more information on editing InfoSets see Editing InfoSets.
When you create an InfoSet, the system generates a corresponding entry for this InfoSet in the subtree of the InfoArea. The
following functions are available from the context menu (right mouse-click) of this entry:
Change
Delete
Object overview
Editing InfoSets
Prerequisites
Before you can get to the screen where you edit InfoSets, the following prerequisites have to be met:
You have created a new InfoSet.
You have selected the Change function from the context menu of an InfoSet entry in the InfoProvider tree of the Modeling
function area in the Administrator Workbench.
You have called the InfoSet Builder transaction, and selected the Change function. You can find additional information
under Additional Functions in the InfoSet Builder .
Procedure
1. You are in the Change InfoSet screen.
Choose a layout for the InfoProvider tree:
InfoArea
InfoProviders Used
All ODS Objects
All InfoObjects
For more information on the screen layout, particularly the layout of the InfoProvider tree, see Screen Layout: Changing
InfoSets.
2. Use the function Where-Used List via AWB to determine which BW objects use the InfoSet that you have selected. You get to
the Administrator Workbench: Where-Used List screen. You are able to work out what would happen in the system if you made
changes to the InfoSet. This helps you to decide whether or not it is sensible to make these changes at this particular point
in time.
3. You define the InfoSet by inserting one or more InfoProviders into the join.
There are several ways of inserting an InfoProvider into the join control:
¡ From the InfoProvider tree:
§ In the InfoProvider tree, double-click on the entry that corresponds to the InfoProvider that you want to add to the join
control.
§ Use the drag-and-drop function to move the InfoProvider into position.
¡ Choose the Add InfoProvider function, to add a particular ODS object or a particular InfoObject independently of the
current layout of the InfoProvider tree. You get to the dialog box of the same name. Enter the data that the system asks you
for.
If you know the technical name of the InfoProvider that you want to add, this method is quicker than switching the layout of
the InfoProvider tree.
When this function is complete, the InfoProvider that you selected is displayed in the join control. For more information on
the structure of the join control, see Join Control.
4. Define the join conditions. For more information see Defining Join Conditions.
5. You can get general information such as object version, date created and date changed via Goto ® Global Settings. You can
also set the indicator Most recent Reporting for InfoObjects from here. You can find additional information under Most recent
Reporting for InfoObjects.
6. Via the button Documents, which appears on the pushbutton bar, you can access document editing for this InfoSet.
7. You can use Check to check the correctness of the InfoSet definition. The log display is shown in the screen area under
the join control.
8. Save the InfoSet. The log display is shown in the screen area under the join control.
9. Activate the InfoSet. After activation, the system executes the checks. The result of the activation is displayed in the
log in the screen area under the join control.
Additional Functions in the InfoSet Builder
You can also use transaction RSISET to call up the InfoSet Builder when you want to edit an InfoSet. Select the InfoSet that
you want to edit. Value help is available for this. Additional functions are also available to help you edit and manage your
InfoSet.
Compare
You use this function from the main menu to check if the InfoProviders used in the InfoSet have been changed and the InfoSet
needs to be adjusted as a result. For more information, see Matching InfoSets.
Jump to object maintenance
You use the InfoObjects and ODS Objects functions to jump to the maintenance screen for the InfoProviders included in the
InfoSet definition.
Info functions
There are various info functions on the status of the InfoSets:
The Object Catalog Entry
The log display for the save, activate, and delete runs of the InfoSet.
Display in tree
You use this function to display in a tree structure all the properties of the A version (active) of the selected InfoSet.
Header data
InfoProvider and its fields
On condition
Wherecondition
The display is empty, if no active version is available.
Version comparison
You use this function to compare the following InfoSet versions:
The active (A version) and modified (M version) versions of an InfoSet
The active (A version) and content (D version) versions of an InfoSet
The modified (M version) and content (D version) versions of an InfoSet
The Display InfoSet screen appears. Depending on which option you choose, the system displays either all of the differences
between the two versions of the selected InfoSet or all of the properties of both versions in a tree structure.
Transport connection using AWB
You use this function to transport an InfoSet into another system.
The Administrator Workbench: Transport Connection screen appears.
The system has already collected all the BW objects that are needed to guarantee the consistency of the target system.
InfoSet data display
You use this function to access the data target browser. If you have already loaded data into the InfoProviders included in
the InfoSet, you can display this data.
Delete
You use this function to delete an existing InfoSet.
Copy
You use this function to copy an existing InfoSet and, if necessary, edit it further.
Show/hide technical names
You can use this function to show alias names for fields. These alias names are necessary in InfoSets, for example to be able
to map self joins. Field alias names start with F, followed by a five-digit number.
Defining Join Conditions
Use
A join condition determines the combination of records from the individual objects that are included in the resulting set.
Before an InfoSet can be activated, the join conditions have to be defined in such a way (as equal join condition) that all
the available objects are connected to one another either directly or indirectly.
Usually, however, only rows containing a common InfoObject or rows containing InfoObjects that share the same basic
characteristic are connected to one another.
Connect tables T1 and T2 using a join and set as a join condition that the F1 field from T1 must have the same value as F2
from T2. For a record from table T1, the system determines all records from T2 for which F2(T2) = F1(T1) is true. In
principle, as many records from T2 can be found as required. If one or more records are found, the corresponding number of
records is included in the result set, whereby the fields from T1 contain the values from the record from T1 under
consideration, and the fields from T2 contain the values of the records found from T2.
Procedure
There are various ways of defining join conditions:
Using a mouse-click
Position the cursor over a row in an InfoObject. Press the left mouse-button and, keeping the left mouse-button pressed down,
trace a line between this row and a row in another object. Providing that the join condition between the two rows that you
have indicated is a valid join condition, the system confirms the join condition by displaying a connecting line between the
two rows.
Using the Link Maintenance pushbutton
You get to the Link Maintenance dialog box.
In a tree structure on the left-hand side of the screen, all of the InfoProviders that are already included in the join are
displayed along with their fields or attributes. If you double-click on one of these fields or attributes, the system
displays on the right-hand side of the screen all of the fields or attributes with which you are able to create a join
condition.
In the Selection column, set one or more of the indicators for the fields or attributes for which you want to create a join
condition. The system generates valid join conditions between the fields or attributes that you specify.
You use the Delete Links pushbutton to undo all of the join conditions.
You use the All Characteristics or the Basic Characteristics Only pushbutton to choose between the corresponding display
variants.
We recommend that you use the Basic Characteristics Only option. The All Characteristics setting displays all of the
technical options involved in a join. If you are not able to find a join condition on the basic characteristic level, then
the All Characteristics setting is useful, but this is an exceptional case.
When you have finished making your settings, click on the Continue icon.
We recommend this method, because the system searches for all the possible join conditions for any field or attribute that
the user specifies, ensuring that the join conditions are defined without errors.
Using the Context Menu Left Outer Join Inner Join
Usually inner-join operators connect all the objects in a join to one another. You can also connect each object with any of
the many other objects by using a left outer join operator.
You can find additional information about usage and special features under Left Outer Join.
If you want to use a left-outer join operator to connect an object, select the object and choose the corresponding function
from the context menu.
The system displays all of the valid join conditions that originate from this object. The connecting lines that represent
these join conditions are labeled as Left Outer Join . InfoProviders, on which a left outer join condition is affixed, are
differentiated by color from the InfoProviders that are connected using an inner join operator.
If you used a left outer join operator to connect two objects, you have to make sure that all on conditions are linked except
for these two objects with the formulation of join conditions.
Note that you cannot add an object, which you have already connected by using the left outer join operator, to another
object.
If you want to use an inner-join operator instead of the left-outer join operator, select the object that you want to
connect, and choose the Inner Join option from the context menu. Again the system displays all the valid join conditions that
originate from this object, and labels the connecting lines accordingly.
Result
Once the join conditions have been defined in such a way as to connect all the available objects to one another, either
directly or indirectly, the InfoSet is ready to be activated.
You click on the Check pushbutton in the pushbutton toolbar to find out if these preconditions for the activation have been
met.
For objects that are joined by a left-outer join operator, there is one extra condition that has to be met, namely that all
the other objects have to be connected to one another either directly or indirectly.

The doubt about statistic cubes

Hi gurus,
first I have to say I searshed forum first but I didn't find my answer,so I have to post a new thread here:
2 doubt about statistic cubes:
1. after I install the TCT cubes and Roles and initial load then delta load successfully, shoud I often run the delta IP? say everyday though a PC?
2.what's the relation between statistic cube and the "DB statistic" tab on the Manage of a infocube? what's the useage of "create statistic","check statistic",and "refesh statistic" buttons?
thank you!

1. As there is some real time cube in the 7.0 content, you could start with a weekly load and see if it's enough....
2. The statistics on the manage InfoCube tab are db statistics. No link with the previous one. They are used to optimize execution plans at db level.

BI 7.0 can we build a INFOSET on a Multi Cube and Infoobject

Hi
In BI 7.0 can we build a INFOSET on a Multi Cube and Infoobject
Thanks

Hi,
No not possible.
You can include any DataStore object, InfoCube or InfoObject of type Characteristic with Master Data in a join. A join can contain objects of the same object type, or objects of different object types. You can include individual objects in a join as many times as you want. Join conditions (equal join condition) connect the objects in a join to one another . A join condition specifies the combination of individual object records included in the results set.

Diff b/w Infoset and multiprovider BI 7.0 onwards

Hi gurus,
Could somebody tell me the difference b/w Infoset and multiprovider BI 7.0 onwards. I mean earlier we were not able to add cube to an infoset. It allowed us to add only ODS and info object . Since the new version allow us to add cubes too then what is the diff b/w Infoset and multiprovider. Since both of them are full filling the same purpose ?
Thanks in advance.
Ashu Gupta.

Hi,
Follow there links.
An InfoSet describes data sources that are usually defined as joins for ODS objects or InfoObjects (characteristics with master data). A time-dependent join or temporal join is a join that contains an InfoObject that is a time-dependent characteristic.
MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider that combines data from a number of InfoProviders and makes it available for reporting purposes. The MultiProvider does not itself contain any data. Its data comes entirely from the InfoProviders on which it is based. These InfoProviders are connected to one another by a union operation.
InfoProviders and MultiProviders are the objects or views that are relevant for reporting.
Infoset- Join
Multiprovider-Union
Follow there links for multiprovider and infoset.

Difference between InfoSet and Multiprovider

Hello Gurus,
Could someone tell me the difference between an InfoSet and a Multiprovider? And in what occasions we should use these?
Thank you.
DM

Hi David,
1. Infoset and Multi provider physically doesn't have any data.
2. Where they are used?
Ans: they are used for reporting.
3. Why they are used?
Ans: when we want to see a report on a data coming from two or more different tables then we go for infoset or multiprovider.
Example: suppose if there are 2 tables A which contains ( customer id, customer name..etc )
and table B contains ( customer id, material id, material name..etc )
-> if we want a report on cust id , cust name , mat id , mat name in a single report then we go for MULTIPROVIDER ( since multi provider can fetches the data from two fileds )
-> if we want a report on cust id from both tables and cust name from table A then we can go for INFOSET ( since info set fetches the data which is common in both tables and the other data from any table as per req. by using left outer join condition )
So we can go for any in this as per our requirement.
One more thing is that INFOSET can be done on Info Cube and DSO only.
MULTIPROVIDER can be done on data source, PSA , DSO, data target..etc
hope this helps u, and let me know if u need any further info.
Thanks in advance

DSO - What key fields and data fields in dso

Hi experts,
I need to create a dso in between the cube and 2 data sources(2lis_11_vaitm, 2lis_12_vcscl) to stage the data. My question is: what key fields and data fields to choose for the dso? is there a standard dso to copy? please explain in detail the model to set up, whether to connect both the ds's to dso and then to cube or one ds to dso and the other to the cube. more details will help.

BI Infoset and Online reporting

Hello,
I would like to check how to improve behavior of Infoset in BI to honor data from aggregates and from open request as well..
My Infoset consists of left inner join between Standard Infocube and InfoObject 0CRM_MKTELM with join condition 0CRM_MKTELM. In Infoset Global Properties I set the flag Most Recent Reporting in InfoObjects. Status of request for standard cube was set to Up to Current Status (qualok).
With this design of Infoset I am able to achieve online reporting of 0CRM_MKTELM using standard cube data in queries but the system is not accessing aggregates.
If status of standard cube which is part of infoset is set as rollup infoset is displaying just data from closed request/aggregates only. If it is set up as qualok it is not accessing aggregates and it access cube directly.
Referenced SAP documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/EN/05/7ce2416149c717e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Is there any way how infoset can access simultaneously cube data which are aggregated and data from open request of the same cube?
Thank you for your help in advance
Best Regards
Milan

I did some further analysis but from standard point of view it looks like that Infoset are no really designed to work with aggregates and open requests. Is there any way how to force infoset to read aggregates+open request or this is just cul de sac?

Query, infoset and Logical database tuning?

Hi, All:
I created infoset z_infoset based on logical database DDF.
then based on infoset z_query based on infoset z_infoset.
then run the z_query, the performance is too bad.
take long time.
How to tuning logical database, infoset and query.
Thanks,

These are what I am dealing with:
Transaction ME80FN
/SAPQUERY/ME, ME80FN query.
Another way to word the question is: How can I make a copy of the global query /SAPQUERY/ME, ME80FN to have that nifty bottom toolbar that transaction ME80FN has?
At first glance, they are the same entity... But the toolbar in the transaction and display options via the last button on the toolbar differentiate the two.
Thanks....

I have transport Infoset and Query from DEV to QAS

Check wether yr request transported correctly since these type of requests generally locked..
After removing lock only we can transport these..
Check in quality..
Tcode.. STMS
Check here for yr request wether transported or not..

Selfjoin in Infoset and it's use?

Hi All,
I want to know what is a selfjion in Infoset,and when we need this particular join. Can someone help me with one example.
Regards,
G S Ramanjaneyulu.

I think that he was talking about C-like structures (Struct), rather than Struts, the framework.
Anyway, the way to mimic a C-Struct in Java is to make a class with all public members and no methods. There is no equivalent in Java of a Union, however, so if you have to deal with Structs that have Unions within them, you're out of luck. Also, I'm not sure how the sizes will map from a C Struct to a Java class. You'll probably have a mismatch.

CRM 7: Is there an FM to display the Trial and related statistic/info ?

I'm trying to add a new Assignment block to the Account screen to show the Trial and trial statistic info for the BP, if it exists.
I'm pretty sure no such AB already exists, and so have concluded that I need to create a new AB and add the apprropriate fields and populate them myself. That's the main reason for enquiring if there's an FM to display the trial related data, or failing that, maybe the tables that this info is held in.
Very much troubled.
Jason

Maybe someone knows how or where a Trial is recorded and what tables might be used?.
