@ IN DIRECT UPDATE DSO SID CAN NOT BE GENERATED

@ Data records with same key are not aggregated in such DSO.

APD (Analysis Process Designer): T Code – RSANWB

The Analysis Process Designer is a workbench with a graphical user interface for
creating, executing, and monitoring analysis processes of loading data.
APD analysis results will be stored into active table of direct update DSO.

Direct Update DSO,the key fields will be decided based on the source tables or the
data source which we are using. & Data is loaded from API’s.

For the other DSO’s except direct update data loading will happen by using DTP but
for direct update DSO data load will happen by using API not DTP.

Every time you load data to a Direct update DSO, all the previous data gets deleted
and loaded again with help of APD’s / API.

APD will normally have queries, transformation and joins on data & whole data will
be loaded again.

3 MAIN PARTS OF DU DSO

A) SOURCE
B) TRANSFORMATION
C) DATA TARGET

APD writes this data to a direct update DSO which can be directly used to generate
reports in BEx Query Designer. These reports can then again be fed to APD to do
more analyses on the data.

Tcodes: RSDODS, RSANWB

Tables: RSDODSO

E.g. Data transfer from BEx query to direct update DSO using APD.

Note: We can only integrate an APD process into a process chain using the process
type ‘ABAP Program’.

To do this, choose the ABAP report ‘RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE‘

Step 1: Make sure there is a cube or dso with data, create a BEx query on the data
and save it.

Step 2: Create a direct update DSO and activate it.

Step 3: Go to the tcode RSANWB and create an APD in the ‘General’ Application
folder. Give a description and technical name.

Step 4: Use some transformations like ‘Filter’ and connect your source query to the
target Direct update DSO.

Step 5: In the target area, select ‘overwrite complete content of the DSO’

Step 6: Double click on the transformation symbol and select the ‘Fields
Assignment’ tab. Select ‘Automatic Assignment’ and select ‘Save InfoObject’
Select ‘Execute’

This will execute the APD in the dialog mode and write the records to the direct
update DSO.

You can also select to run the APD in the background by selecting the ‘Schedule
Job’ icon and maintaining the desired date and time.
