1 Introduction
Situation
Bank Analyzer 6.0 does not support BI Extraction using Delta Queues.
Note 1007325 Generic Bank Analyzer DataSources with Delta Queue describes how to
apply a Delta-Queue-Extraction logic with the DPF (= Data Processing Framework) of the
Bank Analyzer.
Bank Analyzer 6.0 is featured with the CVPM (= Calculation and Valuation Process Manager)
which is functionally superior to the DPF, e.g. it supports a process step Close SDL (SDL =
Source Data Layer).
You would like to apply a BI Extraction using Delta Queues with usage of CVPM in the Bank
Analyzer 6.0.
Problem:
There is no standard solution for a BI Extraction using Delta Queues with usage of CVPM in
the Bank Analyzer 6.0.
Solution:
This How to-guide describes how an implementation of a BI Extraction using Delta Queues
with usage of CVPM in Bank Analyzer 6.0 might be attempted. The following descriptions are
suggestions, they may not be complete, and they may not be correct in all situations. Please
make modifications to your system cautiously.

Pre-requisites:
These suggestions are for Bank Analyzer 6.0 only.
You are familiar with the Generic BI extraction of the Bank Analyzer.
You are familiar with the Delta Queue extraction concept.
You are familiar with the CVPM of the Bank Analyzer.

Comments:
For Bank Analyzer 7.0 a standard solution for BI Extraction using Delta Queues with usage of
CVPM exists. It is very similar to the solution as described here.
The descriptions in this How To-document do not replace any existing documentation
regarding the used functions.

2 Creation of the DataSource for Delta Queue extraction

2.1 Initial creation of the DataSource
You create a DataSource within the Bank Analyzer by using the features of the Data Processing
Framework:
First create or use an existing primary data source of type work list (PDS)
Create a module editor module etc.
Create a selection group/selection ID and assign PDS and module editor
Create a Generic BI DataSource by using the already created DPF-Selection ID
This is a standard procedure mainly via the IMG activities below the IMG-node Generic BI Data
Extraction:

Example:

These steps as described before are uncritical, they are a standard procedure for creating Generic BI
DataSources in the Bank Analyzer.

2.2 Modification of the DataSource

The previously created DataSource is not ready for being used within a Delta Queue-extraction. Two
modifications must be done:

The Delta mode must be adjusted

Mandatory selection fields must be removed, in particular for field CALDAY
The modification of the DataSource must be done via a Z-Report, e.g.
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report Z_CHANGE_DELTAMODE
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
REPORT

z_change_deltamode.

PARAMETERS:
p_datas TYPE roosource-oltpsource,
p_deltap TYPE roosource-delta default 'AIM',
p_flag
TYPE xflag DEFAULT 'X'.

"DataSource
"Process for DataSource
"remove mandatory selection fields

TABLES:
roosource.
DATA:
ls_roosource TYPE roosource.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM roosource INTO ls_roosource
WHERE oltpsource = p_datas AND objvers = 'A'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
ls_roosource-delta = p_deltap.
UPDATE roosource FROM ls_roosource.
MESSAGE 'The DataSource has been updated successfully.' TYPE 'I'.
ELSE.
MESSAGE 'The DataSource entered is not valid, try again.' TYPE 'E'.
ENDIF.
* remove mandatory selection fields, in particular for CALDAY
DATA: ls_roosfield TYPE roosfield.
IF p_flag = 'X'.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM roosfield INTO ls_roosfield
WHERE oltpsource = p_datas AND selection = 'M'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
ls_roosfield-selection = 'X'.
UPDATE roosfield FROM ls_roosfield.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Run this report with the DataSource that you have created previously and change the Delta mode
accordingly, e.g. to AIM, and change mandatory selection fields from value M to X.
Check tables roosource and roosfield via transaction se11 that your changes were done
successfully.

3 Preparing the CVPM for Delta Queue extractions

3.1 Install SAP note FS-BA-IF-ERS 1396125
Note FS-BA-IF-ERS 1396125 provides you with 2 examples of implementations for CVPM class
methods that are required when customizing the CVPM step sequences.

3.2 Create a CVPM process

Go to the IMG activity Edit Analytical Processes:

Create a new process, e.g. Z_DELTA_QUEUE_WITH_SDL_CLOSE, apply entries as show in the

following screen shot:

Open the view Process Parameter and create 2 entries:

Attention: the process parameter /BA1/C61POSTXT is the place holder for a proper info object that
points to BI DataSources. You must create such an info object in the customer namespace first. For
test purposes you may use the characteristic /BA1/C61POSTXT, but this is just a work around here.
Now open the view Data Reading Groups:

In case of using the SDL close as leading process do not use Data Reading Groups 001 and 003 on the
selection screen, because their usage would overwrite the SDL-close based timestamps for these
groups.
If you do not want to use the SDL close then create another CVPM process without leading process
and flag DRG IDs 001, 002 and 003 for being used on the selection screen.

3.3 Create a CVPM step sequence

Open IMG activity Edit Step Sequences for Analytical Processes.

Select the previously created CVPM process:

Create a new step sequence, e.g. Extract:

Create a first step in the sequence and apply type parameter enrichment:

Assign step execution class /BA1/CL_AL_R7_GEN_BI_CVPM_PE (see SAP note FS-BA-IF-ERS

1396125).

Create a second step of type work list:

You should use here the same PDS work list as you have assigned to the DPF-Selection ID that was
used for generating the Generic BI DataSource.
You can add now additional steps, according to the DPF-selection-ID, e.g.
module editor or
aggregation

Finally you have to add a step type data enrichment for which you can use class
/BA1/CL_AL_R7_GEN_BI_CVPM_ST (see SAP note FS-BA-IF-ERS 1396125):

So in the simplest case you get:

You may copy now this step sequence to EXTRACT_DY and add a last step ALV display with
callback class /BA1/CL_AL_FW_DISPLAY:

Delete step 30 (write to Delta Queue). This second sequence is more or less the same as before, but
you can run it in test mode and display the selected data.

3.4 Create own CVPM-callback classes

After having installed SAP note FS-BA-IF-ERS 1396125 you have the two callback classes
/BA1/CL_AL_R7_GEN_BI_CVPM_PE and /BA1/CL_AL_R7_GEN_BI_CVPM_ST in your system. These
classes refer to the info object /BA1/C61POSTXT that you may have used as process parameter in
the CVPM process. If you have not used /BA1/C61POSTXT, then copy the mentioned classes into your
own development namespace as transportable objects (because you need them in your productive
system), adjust them accordingly and use them in the step sequences as described above.

4 Test execution
4.1 Initialisation in the BI system
Replicate the metadata of the DataSource to the BI system via transaction RSA1 - Modeling - DW
Workbench, activate the DataSource and create an InfoPackage:

Use Update Mode Initialize Delta Process without Data Transfer:

Then start the InfoPackage. The result should show a green traffic light with 1 (dummy) record.

10

4.2 Execute the CVPM process

For test purposes we first execute an SDL-close-process via transaction /BA1/B0_CLOSE_SDL - Set
SDL Timestamp:

Execute the process:

Then execute the CVPM process via transaction SE38:

At first we run the process in display mode with sequence EXTRACT_DY:

Here in our example we get:

11

Then we run the step sequence EXTRACT that writes data to the Delta Queue (comment: the Delta
Queue is here cluster table in the OLTP system):

The protocol is ok:

4.3 Check the Delta Queue in the OLTP system

Via transaction RSA7 we can check the result of the second CVPM process already in the OLTP system
(= the same system where we started the CVPM process):

Click on the Display button:

12

4.4 Extract the data to the BI system

Create a second InfoPackage for reading the Delta Queue. Choose Update Mode Delta Update:

Start Data Load immediately and check the Monitor for results:

If you check now RSA7 in the OLTP system you still find all data packages in the Delta Queue. This
ensures restartability:

After you have started another InfoPackage right now (that will find 0 records because we did not
run the CVPM again)

RSA7 will be empty:

So the complete data transfer has been verified by a subsequent extraction.
