- How to load Master data Tables from Flat files: -------------------------------------------------- Pre -Requisites: ------------------ Source System Connection

- Fltafile - Steps: -------1. Create Application Component 2. Create Info Source - Communication Structure - Direct Update - Flexible Update 3. Assign Data Source to Info Source Data Source - Transfer Structure - ATTR,TEXT,HIER,TD 4. Activate the Transfer Rules 5. Create Infopackage and schedule the loading - Creating Info Cube: ---------------------- Understanding the Underlying Database Tables of the Info Cube: --------------------------------------------------------------------Fact Table - /BIC,0/FXXXXXXX BIG_001 - /BIC/FBIG_001 Dimension Tables - /BIC,0/DXXXXXXXX1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,P,T,U dim: customer - 1 == /BIC/DBIG_0011 - Listschema -------------- Graphical Schema of the Info Cube ------------------------------------ Loading data from flat file into Info Cube: -------------------------------------------- Steps: --------1. Create Info Source - Flexible Update 1.1) Define the communication Structure 2. Assign the Data Source to Info Source 3. Activate the Transfer rules

4. Create the Update rules 5. Create the Info package & schedule the load Reporting: ----------- BEx (Business Explorer) ================= - Query Designer - To Design Bex Query - Analyzer - To Design BEx Workbooks - WAD (Web Application Designer) - To design Web reports - Query Designer - To Design Bex Query ------------------------------------------- Demo How to Design Simple Queries - Transfer rules ---------------- Data Flow - Why TR...? - How...? ---------- 4 types of Transfer rules --------------------------1.

- Difference Between Update Rules / Transfer Rules: ------------------------------------------------------ TR are specific to Source or Data Source and UR are specific to Data Target - TR will only transfer the data but UR will also update the data by gen DIM ID' s - Deleting data in Info Cube:

------------------------------ Selective Deletion - Deletion by request - Delete data - Transfer Methods: --------------------- PSA [Persistent Staging Area] --------------------------------Data is Transfered to PSA table directly through TRFC port Information is Transfered through Info IDOC's - PSA Table [/BIC/B000*] - Similar to Transfer Structure Fields + 4 fileds(Request Number + Data Packet N o + Record No + Partion No) (Primary Key) - we can edit the records in PSA - PSA holds replica of data coming from source - Enables Error handling - RSKC - Allow special character RSALLOWEDCHAR - IDOC [Intermediate Document] ----------------------------------Data is Transfered through Data IDOC's Information is Transfered through Info IDOC's
