RC create I/A in drop down gv name n desc. I/O catalogue folders for charac / KF RC on I/A create I/O catalogue slt charac/KF gv name n desc. clik on create button down right Back on main screen clik on activate button on tool bar lowest RC I/O catalogue create I/O gv name (3-9 charac) n desc. Gv values to LENGTH, DATA TYPE, Clik on check (left of activate button) clik on activate Now u cn DC on ne I/O created clik on change button (on toolbar) 2 chang its properties Eg. There is a customer table cust id is the main charac rest (name, add, fon, etc) r its attributes or properties. So wen v creat I/O for all these each charac (Now u cn DC on ne I/O created clik on change button (on toolbar) 2 chang its properties ) Select attribute tab (whichz d last 1) clik n drag rest of charac in d gvn space activate
I/O data target/infoprovider In d abuv eg. RC cust id (main charac) slt maintain master data on d pg dat appears clik on button EXICUTE (tool box) it will show the empty table dat has been created wid main charac+others. V linked one main charac to other attributes so that it bcums one entity/one table into which data would be fed. Apart frm the main charac, other charac when undergo maintain master data, they only show one feild wn xcutd. Our source: flat file (xcel sheet wid table havin all the above charac cust id, name, add,...etc). Now, v hv to map values of each feild in xcel sheet into its respective I/O created (cust id values from xcel into cust id I/O, etc...)...this mapping of source feild to respective target I/O is called TRANSFORMATION. Nxt v create asmthin calld DATA SOURCE a structure/vehicle dat allows data to flow thru it into the I/O or Infoprovider, which actually stores data. DS doesnt stor data, data jst flows thru it.
V r creatin a connection b/w the actual flat file (xcel) and the target BI I/O.
This is a conectn n nebody cn use it to load their flat files. Now v hv 2 create DS Wn v create DS, PSA is automatically created (its a part of DS), where the data is 1 st stored.
Now same as I/As while creatin I/Os, sly v create folders to store our DSs, called APPLICATION COMPONENTS.
Save d flat file (xcel) in csv format at source.
Put a comma (,) there.
top row in our source table is the header row n rest r d data rows.
Proposal nt actual loadin, its jst a test load to chk wether d mappin is correct.
Do everythin as internal.
V hv created d DS n PSA automatically gets created, nw d nxt step is 2 load data into PSA. Infopkg sends data from d source file to the PSA thru d DS.
Dont chng nethin...
Or
Nw v wana chk wethr data is in d PSA, there r 2 ways:
2 nd way
Changes cn b made in d PSA table b4 actualy loadin inti I/O.
The sign shows dat it was changd.. Now, PSA to I/O V hv to estb a connectivity b/w these (the tgt and d source)
Transformation is d mapping
It gvs n error, nw to avoid dis error, v need to put d main charac under I/P in I/P tab.
Another way...wn creatin d I/O....
Assign d I/A.. Nw again
Wt v hv done so far...
Cn also..
Source PSA (infopkg) PSA I/P (DTP)
Wn v creat a transformstn it automaticly crets a folder data transfer process
Dont do nethin...
Jst as in PSA, v cn also c data in d tgt as well
To chk d data finally in I/O...
Infocube
Creatin cube
Sly create other req dimensions....
Delet auto gen dimension...
2 nd way...
Or even....
Double clik on it...
V cn drag n drop these charac under various dimensions...
Sly, slt drag n drop d KF...
Check
Activate...
The cube is created...
To view data >RC MANAGE>contents tab>slt d charac, kfs u want to display>xcute
QUERY DESIGNER
Drag n drop charac to rows and kfs to columns n c prevew changing acc....
Puttin material in free characs....
In this simple g. Cust-rows(charac), sales rev-columns(kf), so d report gen wud contain SR in columns of various cust, in rows.
Gv name...
Query is creatd.... There r 2 ways to view ur query.... 1) Analyzer
Then follow same path thru ur I/A till u rech ur cube...
Now for mat no....clik on filter...
Now jst drag material n put it on the table showin.....
To mak d report > complex, add othr charac in free charac....
Sav changes 2 query....go 2 analyzr...open query....nw clikin on filter v hv options of othr charac as well that were added in free charac....
Nw if v drag n bring all frree charac to d report...
