Different Types of Delta Updates

What is the different delta updates and when to use which updates?

Delta loads will bring any new or changed records after the last upload. This method is used for better loading in less time. Most of the std SAP datasources come as delta enabled, but some are not. In this case you can do a full load to the ODS and then do a delta from the ODS to the cube. If you create generic datasources, then you have the option of creating a delta on Calday, timestamp or numeric pointer fields (this can be doc number, etc).

You'll be able to see the delta changes coming in the delta queue through RSA7 on the R3 side.

To do a delta, you first have to initialize the delta on the BW side and then set up the delta. The delta mechanism is the same for both Master data and Transaction data loads.

There are three deltas:
Direct Delta: With this update mode, the extraction data is transferred with each document posting directly into the BW delta queue. In doing so, each document posting with delta extraction is posted for exactly one LUW in the respective BW delta queues.

Queued Delta: With this update mode, the extraction data is collected for the affected application instead of being collected in an extraction queue, and can be transferred as usual with the V3 update by means of an updating collective run into the BW delta queue. In doing so, up to 10000 delta extractions of documents for an LUW are compressed for each DataSource into the BW delta queue, depending on the application.

Non-serialized V3 Update:With this update mode, the extraction data for the application considered is written as before into the update tables with the help of a V3 update module. They are kept there as long as the data is selected through an updating collective run and are processed. However, in contrast to the current default settings (serialized V3 update), the data in the updating collective run are thereby read without regard to sequence from the update tables and are transferred to the BW delta queue.

Step by Step guide on BADI with Filter implementation

Step 1 à Before implementing filter objects to a BADI. We need to deactivate all the implementation for that BADI. Go to SE18 (BADI definition) and from there navigate to all BADI implementation to view all the active implementations for that BADI Select the BADI implementations listed on the screen and deactivate the implementation. Once done, return back to the initial screen of SE18 and proceed with next step. Step 2 à go to SE18 – BADI Definition screen and change the existing BADI definition that we created in the earlier tutorial.   Select the FILTER –DEPENDENT check box under the TYPE section. This will open up the FILTER TYPE field for inputs. And do an F1 on the FILTER TYPE field. Click on the F4 on the FILTER TYPE field name and enter some search criteria to find a relevant data element. And click on the continue button   Select the data element from the list to set up your filter and hit enter. Click on the save button and act

Create Data Source in SAP

Data Sources are extraction structure. Data Sources are used to extract data from various source system. In the below steps, we will see how to create a data source using a SAP table VBAK. 1) Execute transaction RSO2 2) Enter data source name to be created 3) Press Create 4) Enter description of the data source 5) Enter the name of table or view on which data source has to be created. Data Source can also be created using a View, Info set or a Function Module. 6) Save the data source 7) Execute RSO2 again and click Change 8) Select VBELN field as selection 9) Save the Data Source 11) To check whether data is getting extracted, execute transaction RSA3 12) Enter the name of data source as shown below and press 'Extraction' 13) An information message will appear stating no. of records fetched 14) Additional button 'Display list' will appear, press button 15) Select one of the data packet and double click to get records fetched 16) Data Source is ready to be used!

Responsibilities of BW Data Architect

Responsibilities of an implementation project... For ex, Lets say If its a fresh implementation of BI or for that matter you are implementing SAP... First and foremost will be your requirements gathering from the client. Depending upon the requirements you will creat a business blueprint of the project which is the entire process from the start to the end of an implementation... After the blue print phase sign off we start off with the realization phase where the actual development happens... In our example after installing the necessary softwares, patches for BI we need to discuss with the end users who are going to use the system for inputs like how they want a report to look like and what are the Key Performance Indicators(KPI) for the reports etc., basically its a question and answer session with the business users... After collecting those informations the development happens in the development servers... After the development comes to an end the same objects are tested in quality
