Performance Issue while loading PSA from JCDS table

2023-06-02T12:40:29+02:00

Hi,

We have custom delta datasource based UDATE on JCDS table with the safety interval of 2 days. Load were working perfectly fine and brining data in 2 mins.

After that ABAP team created secondary index on JCDS table on following fields,

MANDT

OBJNR

UDATE

UTIME

INACT

After the index available in JCDS table all of sudden dataload started taking 2 hours of time.

Is there any impact of secondary index on source table on BW dataloads.

Best Regards,

How to show long text in AFO report build on CDs view.

2023-06-15T06:25:52+02:00

Dear Expert,

We are facing challenge while achieving one of the analysis reporting requirements for displaying long text as report output. AFO report is built on top of CDs View with Analytics Annotation enabled.

We have work around to Achieve this via OData service/Virtual element. But issue is customer does not want to get rid of existing AFO report and want that fitment in same reporting tool.

Since we cannot read OData service in AFO (Analysis for Office) for Reporting purpose so its hard stop for us to proceed.

Looking for your kind suggestion and support in order to achive solution on same.

Your kind support will be highly appreciated!

Warm Regards,

CDS based AFO prompt settings

2023-06-30T03:07:59+02:00

Hi Experts,

I have one requirement where I need to make the Prompt field values to be displayed as Key and Text for most of the fields when using the valuehelp of the field. Currently by default it is just displayed as Text. This is a CDS based report so I tried using annotations "@AnalyticsDetails.query.display: #KEY_TEXT" and also in my technical configuration of Analysis I have maintained KeyText but it did not worked. Please let me know if its possible on a CDS based AFO.

CDS Analytical Query changes not reflecting correctly

2023-07-05T16:58:39+02:00

Hi All,

We have a multidimensional report build on custom CDS analytical query. We made changes to the custom CDS query to add new fields and promoted the same to the higher environment(Production). But after promoting the changes, though the TR was successfully imported we don't see the changes getting reflecting correctly at report output layout. We see the CDS code is promoted to production and the query is in active state. And during our promotion we did not encounter this behavior when the changes where promoted in our UAT system(Quality).After clearing all the frontend and backend caches in production the new changes gets reflected, but if we close and open the report again, the old changes comes up.

Has anyone encountered such behavior and what was the resolution for same.

Thank you.

BW authorization issue - No 0BI_ALL for RRW3_GET_QUERY_DATA?

2023-08-07T19:30:28+02:00

Dear SAP,

We have created an ABAP custom program called ZQUERY_EXTRACT through which it is being called the function “RRW3_GET_QUERY_DATA” in order to run a custom query.

We are facing an authorization issue when executing this program in our BW system and we are getting the error S_RS_AUTH = 0BI_ALL.
Since we are not supposed to assign this 0BI_ALL authorization and besides we have already created custom authorization roles for the users concerning S_RS_AUTH object . The problem is that these authorizations in this object are not being observed.

Therefore, we ask for you for advise.

Data sources for SAP LT Replication Server

Hello all, hope you are doing fine.

I would like to know if SAP SLT can consume data from a cube in BW Embedded that exists within S/4 Hana or is it necessary to get the data from the cube and place it in a Z table beforehand so that the SLT can read and replicate it in another base ? Thanks

BW on HANA Pushdown Formula Exception Aggregation

2023-08-17T14:23:22+02:00

Hi,

I do not understand why a formula in my query is not executed in HANA DB. We are on BW750/25 on HANA. I use this formula:

IF("[ZPLPRODTM] Planned Production Time" > "[0ACTEXECTMX] Production time (1000; Sensor T+Z; PP01)"; "[0ACTEXECTMX] Production time (1000; Sensor T+Z; PP01)"; 0)

with exception Aggregation SUM using on reference characteristic:

When I run the query via RSRT (Query property: Operations in SAP HANA/BWA = 7 (Formulas calculated in SAP HANA ) ) the formula is executed in ABAP, not HANA.

Any ideas why there is no PushDown? Query is based on a Composite Provider using aDSOs.

star join with two fact tables

2023-09-13T12:48:46+02:00

Hi ,

I have 2 fact tables and want to join them in star schema (star join). Do I have to join/ union them at first before adding them to the star join node? Is there other option to add them to star join node at once, as I find it inconvenient and ridiculous to join or union two different fact tables.

Query output to CSV file in SAP BW 7.5

2023-09-14T22:38:36+02:00

Hi Folks,

we have a requirement to generate a CSV file using Bex query based on Multiprovider which has yearly cubes .

what is the best approach from the following .?

1.) Multiprovider --> Bex Query (Current year To Date data filter) -- > ADSO -- > APD --> CSV File in target location

2.) Bex Query (Current year To Date data filter) -- > APD --> CSV File in target location

we dont need any filters in APD since data is restricted in Query Level.

Also we have to keep all characteristics in rows right ? otherwise they wont appear in CSV file when we run APD. Pelase clarify.

Regards,

Raki

SAP HANA Redundancy

2023-09-15T12:41:13+02:00

There are bunch of HANA Views which are almost similar as per the business. The ask in hand is to optimize or reduce the HANA View in the present system. I am relatively new to the eco system. I am trying my best to consider the criteria for consolidation. The idea is to retire the redundant HANA views. Tools at my disposal is HANA Studio

Evaluation Criteria :

Complexity of calculation logic, Determine any dependent object modification as a result of consolidation, Dependent Objects, Data Volume and Performance, Data Model Alignment.

Where can i look out in the catalog table to mine the model details, i don't want to do manual mining but try to fetch from catalog table in System schema. Is there a better way to approach. Kindly guide.

Apologies for being verbose.

SAP variables technical names got updated automatically for OLAP query in MII

2023-10-11T08:15:36+02:00

In SAP MII we are using some OLAP queries to extract data from BI cubes. In the OLAP query some parameters are passed as SAP variables from MII, in these variables a few are standard SAP names and are shown the same name in BI BEx query and MII OLAP query template. The issue is that some of these variables are custom made for MII and the name shown in MII OLAP query template is different than shown in BI side (Ex: in pattern MII-- [!V000012]) but in BI it has some other defined name. When some unrelated change happened and BI cube got updated the said SAP variable names shown for MII got changed automatically, because of the last two digits are changing. But other standard variables are not changing. Now I wanted to understand how these naming is generated for SAP MII OLAP templates, how it is getting changed.

Display field as filter but hide as dimension in Analytical Query

2023-11-24T12:53:52+01:00

Hi,

We are building custom analytical query and we have a requirement to show a field as filter in the prompt but hide the field as dimension. Below is a sample scenario where custom analytical query is built on I_GLAccountLineItemCube.

'AccountingDocument' is where this requirement should be applied. Now I've tried with three different annotations, but none of them seems to fulfil the requirement:

@UI.hidden: true

@Consumption.hidden: true

@AnalyticsDetails.query.hidden: true

As yo can see in the screenshots(tcode RSRT), either field appears both as filter and as dimension, or neither of them. Is it possible to show the field as filter in the prompt but hide the field as dimension?

@EndUserText.label: 'Journal Entry Analyzer'
@VDM.viewType: #CONSUMPTION
@Analytics.query: true
@Analytics.settings.maxProcessingEffort: #HIGH
@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #PRIVILEGED_ONLY
@ObjectModel.usageType.sizeCategory: #XXL
@ObjectModel.usageType.serviceQuality: #D
@ObjectModel.usageType.dataClass: #MIXED
@ObjectModel.modelingPattern: #ANALYTICAL_QUERY
@ObjectModel.supportedCapabilities: [ #ANALYTICAL_QUERY ]

define view entity YC_GLLINEITEMSQ0001
  as select from I_GLAccountLineItemCube as I_GLAccountLineItemCube
{

  @Consumption.filter: { selectionType: #SINGLE, multipleSelections: true, mandatory: false }
  @AnalyticsDetails.query.axis: #ROWS
  @AnalyticsDetails.query.totals: #SHOW
  @AnalyticsDetails.query.display: #KEY_TEXT
  GLAccount,

  @Consumption.filter: { selectionType: #RANGE, multipleSelections: true, mandatory: false }
  @AnalyticsDetails.query.axis: #FREE
  @AnalyticsDetails.query.totals: #SHOW
  PostingDate,

  @AnalyticsDetails.query.axis: #FREE
  @Consumption.filter: { selectionType: #RANGE, multipleSelections: true, mandatory: false }
  @UI.hidden: true
  @Consumption.hidden: true
  @AnalyticsDetails.query.hidden: true
  AccountingDocument

};
