1. why the loading set-up tables only for LO extraction.why not for other extrac tions like FI,CO-PA?plz gv me answer clearly..very need. ans : using setup table concept in lo data will be loaded huge volume data load is data not a stranded table.v1 job can run data record stored on db table and e xtraction Q,v2 job run to data records directly stored on db table and delta Q stored(lbwq)or sm13 v3 job run v3 triggers vl data will be stored on bw dela Q(r sa7). data will cumming full or delta records its no well time mechanism so lo c oncept using setup table . 2. What is the use of setup table? ans :generally setup table is using for first time full load and it maintain historicall data.if you want go to full load thsis is useful. exact usage is: By using extractstructer we are featching the data from cluster tables. extractstructure didn't pick the from transparent tables. so that at the time of extracting full load setup table is requeired. 3. what are the datasources for inventory . ans : DataSources in R/3 1. 2LIS_03_BX Material stock 2. 2LIS_03_BF Material movements 3. 2LIS_03_UM Revaluations  2LIS_03_BX - Material stock The first Data Source (2LIS_03_BX) is used to extract an opening stock balance on a detailed level (material, plant,storage location) at this moment. "At this moment" is the point in time at which the statistical setup ran for Dat aSource 2LIS_03_BX.  2LIS_03_BF - Material movements This datasource is used to extract the material movements into the BW system. Material movements like goods receipts and goods issues are being pulled using this extractor using MSEG table.  2LIS_03_UM Revaluations The third of the above DataSources (2LIS_03_UM) contains data from valuated revaluations in Financial Accounting (BSEG Table). 4. can we do sap BO without Sap BW. ans : Yes, SAP BO implementation depends on the kind of database you take as a source. SAP BO mainly used for report generation on any kind of Data source. When SAP BW is your Datasource for SAP BO report generation, then you only you n eed to connect to SAP BW. BO is capable of creating reports on any kind of data i.e., on traditional RDBMS Tables, Warehouse data, and so on. Even a report can be generated With MS EXCEL as a data source using SAP BO . 5. what is object documentation ? where you can do it? what is the use of that? ans1 : What ever changes like edit or modify or newly added or deleted are comes under delta. Ex:from change log table delta records loads to further targets like cube. ans2: Delta mechanisum in SAP BI is to capture the new records or the modified records to the system after the initilization . 6. how to load data to direct update DSO in sap bi. ans1 : Hi,We can Load data to Direct update DSO through APD or BAPI. ans2 : Using API's An application programming interface (API) is a particular set of rules and spec ifications that software programs can follow to communicate with each other. It serves as an interface between different software programs and facilitates th eir interaction. 7. When is SID created? When is DIM ID created? ans : SID is surrogate ID generated by the system. The SID tables are created wh en we create a master data IO. In SAP BI Extended star schema, the distinction is made between two self contain ed areas: Info cube & Master data tables and connecting SID tables. The master data doesn't reside in the Extended Star schema but resides in separa te tables which are shared across all the star schemas in SAP BI. An Unique Numeric ID , the SID is generated which connects the dimension tables of the infocube to that of the master data tables. The dimension tables contain the DIM IDs and SIDs of a particular Characteristic Info Object. Using this SID Table the Master data ( attributes and texts of Inf o Object) is accessed. 8. what is meant by sid key and what was the use of it? ans : SID is a surrogate ID created by the system when the master data getting l oaded and this SID will help you to link with the DMID . SID links master data tables with the Dimension tables . 9. what is DBCONNECT AND UDCONNECT IN SAP BI? ans : DB Connect is used to connect the relational databases like oracle, DB2 an d uses Database shared libarary(DBSL) interface. Where as UD connect is used to connect third party databases like hyperion etc a nd uses universal data connecter(UDC) interface to interact with BW system . 10. WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INFOPACKAGE & DTP? WHAT ARE THE REPEATED TABLES WE ARE USE IN REALTIM PROJECTS? WHAT IS THE DELTA UPDATE IN LOCOCKPIT? WHAT ARE THE TABLES IN SD,FISL & MM? How to we modify the processchain running errors? what is the repeated error in realtim projects? tel me the realtime flow & hw to answer the interview level? ans1 : Main Difference between InfoPackage and DTP is: InfoPackage can request the data from source system but DTP can not. DTP is just an object that determines how data is transferred between two persistent objects within the BW system. ans2 : 1.)In r/3 moduels we use sales tables and mm tables and fi tables like bk pf and bseg..etc 2.)Delta update means after sending data in setup tables newly added or changed records are called as delta records. To send them into bw system we use direct delta,queued delta,unserialized v3 del ta methods. 3.)vbak,vbap,vbup,vbuk,vbrk,vbrp,vcon,likp,lips,bkpf,bseg,mseg,mara....etc 4.)Sm37 jobs monitor and rsmo infopackage monitor, and rsrq individual req monit or....by using these we can see ther errors and can analyze to get solution. 5.)In support mainly we get system outages, gateway not assigned , rfc connectio n error, lock issues, table space error, many errors in tranportation due to lac k of knowledge in tranporting objects in sequence...etc ans3 : Realtime flow Development>Testing>production>go-live. if data huge frequent archivng and regression will be done. This is how real tim e IT practice carried. 11. we have a ods in process chain and the ods activation is taking long time h ow will u optimize the activation process. ans : Please un check the SID creations if the ods is not used for reporting and it is used for staging. 12. I have 2 cubes,1 is sales cube 2 is billing cube.I've loaded data to 2 cube s separately.Now i want to load sales data to Billing Cube.How can i Load? ans : Infact, Question is wrong, He is trying to check your experience by asking technically. In function, the entire structure(IO's in the IC) will have totall y different. So, You can't load by creating transformation neither you go to load that way fr om INFOCUBE to INFOCUBE.. ans2 : But What is the need to load billing cube data to sales or vice versa...! !!Simply create multiprovider...!! 13. how to reduce the down time ? ans : 1) Early delta intialization - only few detasource support this like inven tory management datasources . 14. 1.what is exception aggregation? 2.difference between condition and filter cordinality but i need some more things to improve performance please send to me 19.

What is the difference between Z and 0 Tables in SAP BW3.5? ans : The Z -table is a custom table.. .. what are advantages of using bi 7.5? ans : The advantages of using BI 7. when do we go for generic extraction and why we use time stamp ?how long it will run?explain? ans : whenever suitable business content is not available between source system and target system at that time we go for generic extraction.those r directly goes to db tables and lbwq..The unique records will be appended every time.0 instead of bw 3.This is used to load huge amounts of data or whenever require for multiple loads per day.... 38.0 are 1. Can any one explain me. ans2 : /bic is user tables /bi0 is sap defined tables ans3: simply Z-means user defined and 0-SAP generated its Standered 40. Which data you load first ( MASTER or TRANSACTIOANAL ) And why ? ? ans : The master data is loaded first. ans2: im vijay from syntel. not over any multiprovider. The Constant Selection function allows you to mark a selection in the Query Designer as constant. 44. The master data is building block. 46.DSOs. new & active table. SID problems.part no) .rec no. You can alter the selections at runtime using navigation and filters. it is not possible to include a multiprovider within a multiprovider ans2 : We can Create Multiprovider only overInfocubes. thats why first we load master data first . upon which we maintain the record of the tran sactions as they takes place. can we define a multiprovider in multiprovider.packet no. ans : Standard DataStore object Data provided using a data transfer process SID values can be generated Data records with the same key are aggregated during activation Data is available for reporting after activation. What is constant selection.InfoObjects and Infos ets. first load the master data becz of SID's. This allows you to easily select reference sizes that do not change at runtime. Write-optimized DataStore object Data provided using a data transfer process SID values cannot be generated Records with the same key are not aggregated Data is available for reporting immediately after it is loaded. if you load transaction data first. 43.. It is used when you want to insert some . you use selections to determine the data you want to display at the report runtime. 45. it gives performance problems. query related errors. Because . This allows you to further restrict the selections. You cannot select an entire restricted key figure as a constant. This means that navigation and filtering have no effect on the selection at runtime. only its characteristics.. next master data. ans : In the Query Designer. it determines how transactions happens and which way it is to be happened.This consists of semantic keys(primary keys)and Technical keys(Req id. what is the differences between standard DSO and write optimised DSO and Direct update DSO. next transaction data. Having three tables: chage log. ans : No. DSO. But from BI7 Infopackage brings data upto PSA.if u click that will come to know from which cube we r getting data. 4. 50. having two tables DataStore object for direct update Data provided using APIs SIDs cannot be generated Records with the same key are not aggregated Mainly used with APDs 47. You are working on a report... They also include objects that do not st ore physical data. ans : Infoproviders are objects for which you can create and execute queries in SAP BI. ans : DTP is new in BI 7. 7. 48. such as Info cube.. such as Infosets. Virtual Infoproviders and Multiproviders.. 1. 5. 49. how do you know from which INFOCUBE . what is the difference between Data Target and Info Provider. characteristics Infoobjects. Last delta not loaded correctly OLTP to OLAP process or IDOC not transferred update rule or transformation inactive These are some of issues airsing during process chain.report should be generated ? ans : will have one icon called technical information. 6. Now u can create DTP two ways. Data Targets become InfoProviders if they are used for BEx Reporting. I want to know about DTP in bi 7. 3.. In BW infopackage brings the data from Source Sytem to PSA & InfoCube(Data Targer). Infoproviders is a generic term used to describe any objects or views relevant t o reporting. what are the errors in process chain. Also u have conversion rules etc. As process chain is basically meant with the data loading perpose. 2. . Lock issue Activation failure at ODS Source sysem not connected or RFC connection issue Invalid value not recognized. first u need to create transformation either from PSA(Data Source)--InfoCube or InfoCube to PSA(Data Source) when u create transformation then u can see the field mapping between souce fields to target fields.amount from the other application like dynapro...how can we solve them? ans : there are many types of error during the process chains. These includes objects that physically store data the data targets.Suppose. 58. the SID table of the characteristic takes on the role of dimension table.How can we stop the Collapse process in process chain. 2. Good luck. Dtp u have 3 sub tabs. what is line item dimension? when we need them? how we will come to know we need to create line item dimensions? ans : This means the dimension contains precisely one characteristic. .what type of tables join in generic view? ans : Transparent tables are joined in generic views 55. Delta (only Change or new data) Update Execute--. 52. ans :caluculated key figure is global and new formula is local. This improves the query performance.. 53.( cube( f/ e table or ods or aggregates)? ans : Reconcillation is the process of verifying the data that's been replicated or loaded in BW matching exactly to that in R3 . To overcome this problem we can go for aggregates. 3. what purpose u want to create aggregates? ans : When we access the data frequently for reporting and when the data is in huge quantity.. This means that the system does not create a dimension table.PSA(Data Source)--InfoCube or InfoCube to PSA(Data Source) In 1. Instead. where do u find the option "REPAIR REQUEST"? WHAT IS THE USE OF THAT? ans : You can find this in the InfoPackage via scheduler at the top menu or the key combination CTRl+SHIFT+F1. After Executing u can go to monitor. 51. what is the diffarence between formula and caluculated key figure. we face delayed data retrival problem. 57. 54. 56. what is attribute change run? ans : Attribute change run is process to update the aggregates with masterdata attributes and hirarchies. how do u deceided to go create Aggregates for cube. what is reconcillation? where can u find the option.Execute button. Extract Full. the process involves setting the technical status to red in monitor screen. Note: You have to do it after the execution & before finish of the job. Good luck. 62. select the job and stop it. what is the sructure of RRI. i will try to get the RRI structure and conditions ASAP. for delta failure.. you can create several individual reports. ans : he report/report interface (RRI) makes the parameterized call of programs possible from other programs. the data comes first to extractor queue (LBWQ) and then upon following processing it move to delta queue.any conditions for RRI. you can arrive at branch destinations within and outside of the BI system. its ok and proceed to load the delta. In Direct delta. 59. With the report/report interface. 61. It gives the user the ability to jump from one report into another report that supplies further information. ans:Right Click on the infoarea you want the object in and select: add infoObject as datatarget 64. each with a limited number of characteristics. can we make a info object as info provider other than master data. 63. It will cancell that process. ans: we perform repeat delta.ANS :Go to the batch monitor in the Collapse process of the process chain. In SAP BI.This Load is processed once data is queued with 10000 LUW. 60.where do u find the option "REPAIR REQUEST"? WHAT IS THE USE OF THAT? ans :You can find this in the InfoPackage via scheduler at the top menu or the key combination CTRl+SHIFT+F1.what are step in transporting the object? .What is the RRI. Every document is one LUW and it comes direcly to delta queue(RSA7) and upon requent it is extracted to BW. deleting the request in the requests tab of infotarget/manage and then scheduling the delta load normally. go to job log.how can u correct the error in loading for Delta failure. ans:in queued delta. this brings up the old delta records and any of the newly added delta records. there will be an alert that the repeat delta is being performed.what is diffarences between QUEUE DELTA & DIRECT DELTA. These can be linked one to another to make very flexible data evaluations possible online... .how to load transaction datawith out master data? ans:while creating an infopackage in data targets tabs trip u want to enable the LOAD TRANSACTION DATA WITH OUT MASTER DATA option 67. 68. SAP BW automatically assigns the infoobjects which have not been assigned to char/keyfigures infoobj ect catalog into default one. . 3. 4. infoobject catalog for char and keyfigures.what is un assigned notes? how to define keyfigure as attribute? how to load text data with out attribute data? ans: unassigned nodes .Where you have to done cube testing? ans: RSRV testing for Infocube 66. it is used for chracteristics restriction just drag and drop the characteristics in that filter box and retsrict that characteristice according to the requirement .infoobjets(char/keyfigures) are stored in their respecti ve folders i. choose the Transport Connection functional area (transaction RSOR) by choosing the pushbutton in the left navigation window or by choosing the menu option Goto ® Transport Connection..but tomorrow the same type of loading takes 3 hours. 2. unassigned unassigned unassigned unassigned units keyfigures chars time chars Infoobject catalogs are also stored in folder: infoarea. Collect objects that you want to transport and check the settings. 65. In the Data Warehousing Workbench.today the loading time is 15 min. 2.How do you analyse? ans:There can be many reasons:1)Data Records can be more.ans:1.How do you analyse the data loading time . HOW TO SUPRESS TEXT DATA WHILE LOADING MASTER DATA? HOW TO LOAD MASTER DATA WITH OUT CREATING INFOPACKAGE? ans :GO to master/text in infoobject maintanance and deselect the Text check box. 70..what is the use of filters in Bex ans:the use of filrers in bex is that we can restrict a characteristics.e. All infoobject catalogs which are not explicitly assigned to infoarea are assigned to an infoarea and s tored in Unassigned nodes infoarea. U can load master data by updating Transactional data by selecting allowing update without master data check box 69. 1. 73. 3)Lot of other extraction going on from the same source system.? how to filter the data for the period? ans: n r/3 go to data source maintanance check the selection option so that in bw when creating infopackage we will get option from date to to date by this we can select period 72.. in the account model. you add a new characteristic which separates the key figures (here: price types) within the data record. it is used for reporting..DSO is 2 dimensional and flat table.account modeling and key figure modeling The key figure model includes all the key figures in one data record: Product Sales Price Manufacturer Price Mean Price P1 100 50 75 However. of customer details. customer details.. IS IT POSSIBLE TO PARTITATION AN ODS? IF YES HOW..WHAT IS THE T-CODE FOR PSA PARTIATION...2)System performance of Source or BW system can be poor. take a example. 6)Target is already locked by some other job.... and which you can use to determine which key figure is being used for planning...how do you extract data from R3 to BW for a specific date.what is the use of attribute in the attribute i think it is transitive attribute. 4)TRFC stucked in TRFC queue.mobile no so you can use this details in reports 74. cube is 3 dimensional .so in cube partition possible.customer phone no..... 5)Temporary Table space is less in BW. Product Price Type Price . ans :RSCUSTV6 this is a tcode partitation for psa not possible to partition the DSO eventhough psa and dso table structures are sa me. 71.house no . . In Lis we use two tables for Delata update... In Lo we use . In Lis we use Transparent tables. via RFC connection..how will the setup be in bw in real time scenario how will the setup between r/3 and bw in real time scenario ans: 2 posibilities: 1) using a Virtual Cube...lo and difference between them ? In Lo we use Cluster tables.. For example: Is we are looking at a report which shows the Number of employees by year for the past 10 years the total field for the Number of employees shows the total of all the figures for the past 10 years which is wrong but it should show the last value i. here in this case we use Last Value.. Some more examples of exception aggregation are Average. the data actually doesn't go into a BW InfoProvider. 2) (near) realtime ETL is possible in the new 2004s BI. (approx..what is exception aggregation ansThe Exception aggregation is used in special scenarios where we do not want to show the result of key figure as simply the total of all the values. Lo generates extract strucutures annd Lis generates transfer structures. First Value etc..what is lis . 77. only the data is read in the source system at query runtime. Hope I understood the question correctly. In lo we use pull scenario and in Lis we use push scenario. every 2 minutes) a daemon takes care of loading the data from the source system into SAP BW. A BW Query however can use this Virtual Cube as if it was a regular Cube. Here we use the exception aggregation to let the BEx know how to show/summarise the values. 76.P1 Sales Price 100 P1 Manufacturer Price 50 P1 Mean Price 75 75.e the recent years figures becoz the number of employees is not something to add up. but rather stays in the source system. .Which table contains the exchange rate? ans:TCURR Exchange Rates TCURV Exchange rate types for currency translation TCURF Conversion Factors 80.What are the size parameters for archiving? ans:PARAMETERS FOR ARCHIVING ARE > MAX FILE SIZE IN BYTES > MAX NO..What is the namespace of BW? ans :All sap object start with 0.. What is the propose from statistics for aggregates? ans :we can define the aggregates manually and from system proposals also.strucures for Lo update. what is the meta data and meta data manager ? ans: THE DATA ABOUT THE DATA IS CALLED META DATA.. What technology is used in BW archiving? ans:Archive Development Kit (ADK) 83. the customer name space is AZ.What are time dependent text/attribute of characteristics? ans :Time Dependent Attribute: Which define's the validity of characteristic..when we are creating the aggregates from system proposals there is the option is propose from statistics from aggregates.to load the all historical data at once.What are the update modes available? ans : FUll mode DELTA mode FULL load . OF DATA OBJECTS 81. 82.What is aggregate realignment run maintenance? ans : Aggregate realignment run maintenance will cause reconstruction of aggregates. Like Valid date from . .valid date to 86.(HISTORICAL DATA). for this there are two conditions 1)one is statistics should be there in infocube 2) another one is query must be exist. 78. THE FOURTH LAYER IN THE BIW ARCHITECTURE IS CALLED META DATA MANAGER 79.to update the modified or new data.. All table begin with /BIO for SAP and /BIC for customer 85. 84. DELTA load. aa this can be used only for master data 93. give the delta specific field. so that at the time of extracting full load setup table is requeired. no communication sturcture will be there. it is done to homogenize data.if you want go to full load thsis is useful.Two scheduling options for start process: 1) Direct Scheduling 2) Start Using Meta Chain or API 95. use safety intervals either upper or lower.. 1.Which transactions shows templates for authorizations? PFCG 91..What is a characteristics variable? ans : Characteristic value variables represent characteristic values and can be used wherever characteristic values are used. Removes spaces on the right side of a numeric value .What is the use of setup table? generally setup table is using for first time full load and it maintain historicall data. extractstructure didn't pick the from transparent tables. 88.What is direct updating of info objects? direct update means..and foolowed by any one of date or time or numeric pointer field.replicate the structure. What is the SAP enhancement used for this user exit? ans : RSR00001 89.87. What are the steps to enable delta load for generic data sources? ans: rso2.When should you do the alpha conversion? Alpha conversion is done to convert data from external format to internal format. What are the important formulas available in BW? Just to list a few. 90. Usually when data is staged from an external system into SAP BW. save the data source. 94. exact usage is: By using extractstructer we are featching the data from cluster tables. select ur data source: edit. LAST_WORKINGDAY_MONTH Calculates Last Work Day for Month ADD_TO_DATE Add Day to a Date CONDENSE Summarize DATE_DIFF Date Difference 92. choose generic delta push button. com applications today use the delta queue technology to identify deltas.What is v1. the corresponding sales order tables would be updated in V1 mode.v2 and v3 updates? A) V1 denotes time-critical updates used for updating the actual transaction tables. there name starts with 1. For example.. the fact tables are called: /BIC/E100001 and /BIC/F100001. in techical terms. which are not the same as those in the InfoCube.2. What are the naming conventions used for aggregates created from query? There are two types of aggregates generated from Query. after a sales order entry transaction is completed. the date to month is . C) V3 update mode(Uses delta queue technology) is similar to the V2 update mode. if the aggregate has the technical name 100001. Many extraction programs available for mySAP. Adds zeros to the left side of a numeric value 96. V1: syncronious V2: asyncronious V3: asyncronious with background schduling. while V3 updates may be scheduled independently. For instance. and the corresponding statistics tables would be updated in V2 mode. 98. What are the special conversions for time in update rules? Special conversions for time in update rules are automatically conversion rules. The main difference is that V2 updates are always triggered by applications. However. The table names that make up the logical object that is the aggregate are then derived in a similar manner. 99. B) V2 denotes non-time-critical updates used for updating statistics tables related to the transaction tables. Its dimensions.MIN and MAX.What is ?roll up?? Newly loaded data is not available for reporting unless it is Rolled up into all the aggregates associated with the Infocube 97. . /BIC/D100001T and so on. The above answer is exactly correct. Example: If the cube contains calendar month and your transfer structure contains date. have the table names /BIC/D100001P. as are the table names of an InfoCube.What is LIS? logistics information system 100. A hierarchy is created from nodes. a leaf cannot have any subnodes. 102. What is a free characteristic? The characteristics in the area are not displayed in the intial view of the query but you can drill down and filter . * Exactly one other node is directly superior to each node (except for the uppermost node). 101.no master data allowed. 106. Hierarchy Levels All nodes on the same level of the hierarchy (nodes that are the same distance away from the root) form a hierarchy level. Leaves The leaves of a hierarchy consist of characteristic values for the basic characteristic and therefore can also have entries in the fact table.converted automatically. Where will you get more information on the delta methods? IN ODS OBJECTS WE USE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON THE DELTA METHODS 105. The relationships between the nodes are defined as follows: * The uppermost node is the root. Then you can analyze the size of fact table vs dimension table.STEPS:GOTO SE37 THEN GIVE functional m odule NAME:RSDW_DESIGN_INFOCUBE THEN GIVE CUBE NAME. They do not have a superior node. The level of a node denotes the distance from the node to the root. What is hierarchy? A hierarchy is a method of displaying a characteristic structured and grouped according to individual evaluation criteria. performance is poor. What is the diference between defining calculated key figure in info provider level vs query level? The CKF defined at the infoprovider level will be available to all the query define for that perticular Infoprovider 103. There can be more than one root.We will trough functional module. What are the restrictions/recommendations for using remote cube? These are used for small values of data with few user. 104. The roots of a hierarchy form level 1. In contrast to nodes that can be posted.How would you analyze the size of fact table vs dimension table using RSRV?
