Hi Experts

I am new to BI Extraction as i worked a lot earlier on Front End (BEX)

I have a requirement like this can you help me out in generating a report from scratch..

Users want a Bex report (So that they can see/drilldonw the data in different angles)

Role name should be the key and he needs the following information in the report

System

Role name

Role Description

Parent Role

Tcodes in role

Orgn level details for a role

Users assigned to a role (user id , Full name, User group - TERM - USR02)

Orgn level field description/text

And from the below tables (Role Name is the key max. of these tables) we can get the above information....

AGR_1016

AGR_TEXTS

AGR_DEFINE

AGR_TCODES

AGR_1252

AGR_USERS

AGR_TEXTS

AGR_DEFINE

AGR_TCODES

AGR_1252

USER_ADDR

USER_ADDR

USR02

We have several systems like R/3, CRM, SRM, BI etc... in all the sytems the role related information is stored in the above tables. And i need to extract the data from all the systems mentioned above to DSO or Cube.

Now can you help me through which extraction mode i have to go and how i have to design my DSO or Cube to meet the above requirement.

I am thinking we can go through Generic extraction through Function Module... (if so can you provide me the Steps and also the design of DSO or Cube...)

If any body had similar requirement please help....

Appreciate your help.....

Hi,

You have asked entire Bw concept in one single Q

the detail explanation is laborious task

in a brief

if Sap delivers any standard datasource ,and other objects which you can find in business content ,

you can install it

if not

go for generic extraction,for details chk this link

/thread/202749 [original link is broken]

also chk this for step by step Procedure is their u can follow this BI7 version which i found in SDN

credit goes to the writer

here step by step Procedure is their u can follow this BI7 version

) Create a data source

RSA1->Source Systems->FILE(File)->PC_FILE(Filesourcesystem)->Create Application Component(optional)-Create Data source

2) Create infoPackage

Right click on the data source and do

3) Create the data provider

4) Create Transformation

Right click on the data provider, choose 'create transformation' and choose your data source (give relevant data source and its type)

Just connect the relavant fields between your data source and data provider.

4) Create DTP

Then Double click on the DTP node created under yous transformations. choose the extraction mode as delta.

5) Load the data: there are 2 ways:

you can run the infopackage and DTP separately or create a process chain consisting of these infopackage and DTP and run.

Hope this helps.

• Create application component(AC)

• Right click AC and create datasource

• Specify data source name, source system, and data type ( master data attributes, text, hierarchies)

• In general tab give short, medium, and long description.

• In extraction tab specify file path, header rows to be ignored, data format(csv) and data separator( , )

• In proposal tab load example data and verify it.

• In field tab you can you can give the technical name of info objects in the template and you not have to map during the transformation the server will automatically map accordingly. If you are not mapping in this field tab you have to manually map during the transformation in Info providers.

• Activate data source and read preview data under preview tab.

• Create info package by right clicking data source and in schedule tab click star to load data to PSA.( make sure to close the flat file during loading )

3. Creation of data targets

• In left panel select info provider

• Select created info area and right click to select Insert Characteristics as info provider

• Select required info object ( Ex : Employee ID)

• Under that info object select attributes

• Right click on attributes and select create transformation.

• In source of transformation , select object type( data source) and specify its name and source system Note: Source system will be a temporary folder or package into which data is getting stored

• Activate created transformation

• Create Data transfer process (DTP) by right clicking the master data attributes

• In extraction tab specify extraction mode ( full)

• In update tab specify error handling ( request green)

• Activate DTP and in execute tab click execute button to load data in data targets.

4. Monitor

Right Click data targets and select manage and in contents tab select contents to view the loaded data. Alternatively monitor icon can be used.

Hello Rohith,

I have the same requirement like you... Go with Generic Extraction with Function module option.... for all the tables with Role name as Key. For other Tables (other than Role name as Key) enhance the Data source (Which you created through Generic Extraction - Function Module) through CMOD by adding the fields in the append structure.

Let me know if you have any questions.....

Thanks
