Writeback to SAP BW cubes

Hi,
We are sourcing our data from SAP BW in OBIEE 11g. We have a requirement to use writeback functionality of OBIEE 11g to write back to the SAB BW cubes.
As far as I know, OBIEE does not support writeback to multidimensional database.
Does anyone has tried this before or have any idea how to proceed with the same?
It's very urgent requirement.
Regards,
Vikas

  • How to create universe for sap bw cubes in Business objects

    Hi all,
    can anybody tell me the steps to create universe for SAP BW CUBES from Business objects software.
    Thanks.
    Cheta.

    Hi,
    In a SAP-BW and BO environment using Business Object Universe generator, it appears that BO requires direct data base connectivity to read data from BW.
    In XI/XI R2 , it use an RFC connection (MDX driver, which makes BAPI, SAP API calls) to SAP BW to obtain the details of the BW Query or Info Cube for building the Universe using the XI/XIR2 Business Objects designer application. The request for the query or cube details is done VIA BAPI function calls. For the SAP BW Query we must have “allow External Access to this query” checked under the Query Property window.
    Our Integrated Solution Kits do not access the SAP BW’s data source.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards

  • Steps for creating a SAP Remote cube.

    Hello Experts,

    Creating VirtualProviders Based on Data Transfer Processes Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
    Prerequisites
    If you are using a DataSource as the source for a VirtualProvider, you have to allow direct access to this DataSource.
    Procedure:
           1.      In the Data Warehousing Workbench under Modeling, choose the InfoProvider tree.
           2.      In the context menu, choose Create VirtualProvider.
           3.      As the type, select VirtualProvider based on data transfer process for direct access.
    In terms of compatibility, a VirtualProvider that is based on a data transfer process with direct access can also be connected to an SAP source system using a 3.x InfoSource.
    The Unique Source System Assignment indicator controls whether this source system assignment needs to be unique. If the indicator is set, you can select a maximum of one source system in the assignment dialog. If the indicator is not set, you can select multiple source systems. In this case, the VirtualProvider acts like a MultiProvider.
    If the indicator is not set, characteristic 0LOGSYS is automatically added to the VirtualProvider when it is created.  In the query, this characteristic allows you to select the source system dynamically: In each navigation step, the system only requests data from the assigned source systems whose logical system name fulfills the selection condition for characteristic 0LOGSYS.
           4.      Define the VirtualProvider by transferring the required InfoObjects. Activate the VirtualProvider.
           5.      In the context menu of the VirtualProvider, select Create Transformation. Define the transformation rules and activate them.
           6.      In the context menu of the VirtualProvider, select Create Data Transfer Process. DTP for Direct Access is the default value for the DTP type. Select the source for the VirtualProvider. Activate the data transfer process. See Structure linkCreating Data Transfer Process for Direct Accesss.
           7.      Activate direct access. In the context menu of the VirtualProvider, select Activate Direct Access. In the dialog box that appears, choose one or more data transfer processes and select This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Save Assignments.

  • How to fetch data from a SAP BW Cube via Perl/PHP on a Linux machine?

    Hi all,
    here's the scenario:
    I need to fetch data from a cube of a remote SAP NetWeaver 7.  The data will later be used in a web application based on  Linux and  Perl/PHP. (I'd prefer using perl for the backend and doing the business logic of the web application.)
    I have:
    A Linux system with all its on-board tools and scripting languages.
    A user for the SAP BW which allows me to logon (very,very limited user rights, no se37,no se80,no rsaX and so on)
    Access to http://<SAP BW Server>:<Port>/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla with the above mentioned user.
    My questions:
    - Could you please push me into the right direction how I can realize this? E.g. by pointing to tutorials / HowTos / sample code / CPAN modules etc..  (Most information I found so far referred to software based on a different operating system and on remote function calls using custom functions.)
    - I'm aware of the  SAPNW::RFC CPAN module, but do I necessarily have to perform a remote function call? ( If so, is there a "standard" function I could call for accessing a cube?)
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    You can take through the RFCS .check for some system function modules...but why do you need to route it through XI?How huge z the files?

  • Error while assigning source system to SAP Remote cube

    I need to do a query using remote cube and the source sys is flat file.
    it wont let me assign the source system to the remote cube.
    the r/3 system icon is seen next to the remote cube technical  name...
    I can't  see my flatfile source system
    can somebody help me.

    Hello Kiran,
    I don't think its possible to use Remote cubes for PC_FILE or FLAT FILE as Source system.
    You can use Virtual Providers in these different scenarios
    Virtual Providers based on DTP => used for SAP source systems
    Virtual Providers based on BAPI => used for non-SAP or external systems
    Virtual Providers bsaed on Function modules => You use this VirtualProvider if you want to display data from non-BI data sources in BI without having to copy the dataset into the BI structures. The data can be local or remote. You can also use your own calculations to change the data before it is passed to the OLAP processor. This function is used primarily in the SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM) application.
    Use InfoObects as Virtual Providers
    Your case is none of these.
    More details can be found under this link:

  • Oliver Wright Class A Reporting and SAP Standard Cube

    Dear All,
    has someone experiences with Class-A KPIs Reporting in SAP based on the concept of Oliver Wright?
    In his handbook he wrote that this concept reflects the effort and effort and achievement of thousands of client companies who have used our checklist standard to differentiate their business. So its supposed that SAP Standard might also support that concept in general by providing eventually standard cube if this trendy in U.S.
    Does SAP support that concept or do you know who is there an third party software available to read this KPI out of SAP/APO in a structured way 
    see link: http://www.oliverwight.com/checklist.htm
    Thanks for your support, Markus

    In my experience, you just have to learn to read the code. The SAP books may tell you something but they are not at the level that you'd really need them to be if you wanted to know where best to put your enhancement.
    It is certainly worthwhile checking all the documentation in the classes/methods there can be some useful things there. However, generally I think you are just better off reading through the code and working out how it all hangs together. Most WDA code is reasonably well written - in that it is fairly modular and has a reasonable degree of encapsulation. This certainly helps.
    This is where experience really starts to matter!
    NW7.02 will give us some nice UML diagrams to help understand the application flow - that will help, but until then, it's just a matter of being good at understanding code.
    Good luck.

  • Passing default parameter to WebI for SAP BW cube

    Hi All,
    Data Source: SAP BW
    BI Layer: BO 3.1
    Here goes my question:
    We have a cube which contains HR related data. I want to query data in such a way that it gets me data for the current month and year. The time dimension contains a hierarchy called Calendar Year/Month which has values u201CFEB 2009u201D, u201CMAR 2009u201D and so on. I want to create a WebI Report which should take Current month as MAR (since current month is March) and Current Year as 2009 and pass u201CMAR 2009u201D to the query without useru2019s intervention so basically itu2019s a default value. Similarly, when the month and year changes, this value should reflect the new values (i.e. APR 2009 when April 2009 arrives).The final outcome should be a dashboard displaying information using WebI Report.
    Kindly guide me step by step if there is a possible way to achieve it on SAP BW (OLAP datasource) using BO Universe designer/WebI and by using MDX wherever necessary.
    Otherwise, is there a possibility of creating Filter in Universe which takes something like Month(Current Date) and Year(Current Date), append them and pass it as a parameter to BW cube;  If yes, how?
    Kindly guide

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue. If you happened to solve your issue, please let me know how you did it.

  • Difference between two infopackage delivered by SAP after cube active

    under datasource 0EMPLOYEE_TEXT we can see two infopackage, 0EMPLOYEE_TEXT_FULL_R3 and R/3 --> 0EMPLOYEE (Text)
    To infopackage 0EMPLOYEE_TEXT_FULL_R3 under schedule, the setting was Start Later in Background
    To infopackage R/3 --> 0EMPLOYEE (Text) under schedule, the setting was Start Data Load Immediately.
    Question: why does SAP provider two infopackage, what's the difference? How to use?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The two IP will work fine for two scenarios,
    first one which is a background will be helpful ,whenever the job was not included in Process chain and also mainly for the
    Init like that kind of stuff
    Second one will be helpful if you are doing to run immediately ,so tht you can schedule them as periodic or based on event
    Hope i answered your question.
    Reward point if helpful

  • BW(SAP) cubes into Discoverer

    Hi, I need to integrate BW (SAP) info cubes with another data that I'm manipulating with Discoverer (OLAP Server). I think that it is possible to do that using the AWM tool but I don't know how really. Can anyone help me with your experience ? thanks.

    Oscar,
    Thanks for the help.
    We tried the following one by one.
    1. Delete and recreate update rules.  To be frank....there is no CODING or complication in there...
         It did not work.
    2. Tried loading only to PSA.  It loaded 15mill records perfectly.  But when we tried updating target cube, 
        same story with many more errors.....earlier we had 10 packages failed out of 387.......
         this time almost every  alternate package is marked red and same error....update generating update
         program.....
    Hope somebody will come up with a solution.

  • Security feature in OBIEE when integrating Cubes from SAP BW

    Situation: We are trying to integrate SAP BW cubes with OBIEE and create reports on OBIEE.
    We can import cubes and stuff into OBIEE and do the modelling to the multi dimensional db..
    But when we talk about securities, we (in OBIEE side) want to do it through LDAP Servers. // hitting a hurdle
    So the Authentication can be done using LDAP Servers, but the Authorization cannot be done by LDAP, since the client doesn't have that concept for authorization using LDAP
    So I want to figure out some solution where we can do the authorization through another means...Your ideas are deeply appreciated
    Thanks

  • Universe created on BI cube throws error.

    Hi Experts,
    This is the first time i have created one universe based on a Cube in BI system. After universe creation, I am logined into WebIntelligence Rich Client and create a query on top of the created universe which throws errors like below.
    A database error occured. The database error text is: The supplied XML is not valid. <CONSTANT>. (WIS 10901)
    I tried with many combinations, but, in result sometimes with blank report and sometimes throwing above error.
    Cany anyone suggest me what is the solution for this ?
    Regards,
    Suresh

    Hi Suresh,
    The reason here is some thing has bean changed at SAP BI Cube after creation of Universe in Business Objects.
    Solution for this is " Refresh the universe structure " and then save it and export and try create reports. If it is not the reason give some more clarity on your error.
    Thanks.

  • Universe based on SAP BW

    Hey everybody,
    exepting that I've got problems to create Universes based on Multiproviders (an other thread: /community [original link is broken]) I have an other problem with that ones I'm able to create out of SAP Cubes.
    When choosing a connection that refers on a SAP BW Cube it starts to import all containing tables.
    Usually, when using a sample file, e.g., there is imported non at all and it's possible then to create an new universe (adding tables, create joins, etc.).
    After creating the "SAP related" universe this is not possible anymore. But maybe it shouldn't? I dont't know.
    Which step or point of the "chain" I don't understand? Or what I'm doing wrong?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.
