What is ERP?

- ERP is a package with the techniques and concepts for the integrated management of business as a whole, for effective use of management resources, to improve the efficiency of an enterprise. Initially, ERP was targeted for manufacturing industry mainly for planning and managing core business like production and financial market. As the growth and merits of ERP package ERP software is designed for basic process of a company from manufacturing to small shops with a target of integrating information across the company . Different types of ERP? - SAP, BAAN, JD Edwards, Oracle Financials, Siebel, PeopleSoft. Among all the ERPs most of the companies implemented or trying to implement SAP because of number of advantages aver other ERP packages. What is SAP? - SAP is the name of the company founded in 1972 under the German name (Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing) is the leading ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software package. Explain the concept of Business Content in SAP Business Information Warehouse? - Business Content is a pre-configured set of role and task-relevant information models based on consistent Metadata in the SAP Business Information Warehouse. Business Content provides selected roles within a company with the information they need to carry out their tasks. These information models essentially contain roles, workbooks, queries, InfoSources, InfoCubes, key figures, characteristics, update rules and extractors for SAP R/3, mySAP.com Business Applications and other selected applications. Why do you usually choose to implement SAP? - There are number of technical reasons numbers of companies are planning to implement SAP. Its highly configurable, highly secure data handling, min data redundancy, max data consistency, you can capitalize on economics of sales like purchasing, tight integration-cross function. Can BW run without a SAP R/3 implementation? - Certainly. You can run BW without R/3 implementation. You can use pre-defined business content in BW using your non-SAP data. Here you simply need to map the transfer structures associated with BW data sources (InfoCubes, ODS tables) to the inbound data files or use 3rd part tool to connect your flat files and other data sources and load data in BW. Several third party ETL products such as Acta, Infomatica, DataStage and others will have been certified to load data in BW. What is IDES? - International Demonstration and Education System. A sample application provided for faster learning and implementation. What is WF and its importance? - Business Work Flow: Tool for automatic control and execution of cross-application processes. This involves coordinating the persons involved, the work steps required, the data, which needs to be processed (business objects). The main advantage is reduction in throughput times and the costs involved in managing business processes. Transparency and quality are enhanced by its use.

What is SAP R/3? - A third generation set of highly integrated software modules that performs common business function based on multinational leading practice. Takes care of any enterprise however diverse in operation, spread over the world. In R/3 system all the three servers like presentation, application server and database server are located at different system. What are presentation, application and database servers in SAP R/3? - The application layer of an R/3 System is made up of the application servers and the message server. Application programs in an R/3 System are run on application servers. The application servers communicate with the presentation components, the database, and also with each other, using the message server. All the data are stored in a centralized server. This server is called database server. What should be the approach for writing a BDC program? - Convert the legacy system data to a flat file and convert flat file into internal table. Transfer the flat file into sap system called sap data transfer. Call transaction(Write the program explicitly) or create sessions (sessions are created and processed ,if success data will transfer). Explain open SQL vs native SQL? - ABAP Native SQL allows you to include database-specific SQL statements in an ABAP program. Most ABAP programs containing database-specific SQL statements do not run with different databases. If different databases are involved, use Open SQL. To execute ABAP Native SQL in an ABAP program, use the statement EXEC. Open SQL (Subset of standard SQL statements), allows you to access all database tables available in the R/3 System, regardless of the manufacturer. To avoid conflicts between database tables and to keep ABAP programs independent from the database system used, SAP has generated its own set of SQL statements known as Open SQL. What are datasets? - The sequential files (processed on application server) are called datasets. They are used for file handling in SAP. What are internal tables check table, value table, and transparent table? - Internal table: It is a standard data type object, which exists only during the runtime of the program. Check table: Check table will be at field level checking. Value table: Value table will be at domain level checking ex: scarr table is check table for carrid. Transparent table: - Exists with the same structure both in dictionary as well as in database exactly with the same data and fields. What are the major benefits of reporting with BW over R/3? Would it be sufficient just to Web-enable R/3 Reports? - Performance Heavy reporting along with regular OLTP transactions can produce a lot of load both on the R/3 and the database (cpu, memory, disks, etc). Just take a look at the load put on your system during a month end, quarter end, or year-end now imagine that occurring even more frequently. Data analysis BW uses a Data Warehouse and OLAP concepts for storing and analyzing data, where R/3 was designed for transaction processing. With a lot of work you can get the same analysis out of R/3 but most likely would be easier from a BW.

How can an ERP such as SAP help a business owner learn more about how business operates? - In order to use an ERP system, a business person must understand the business processes and how they work together from one functional area to the other. This knowledge gives the student a much deeper understanding of how a business operates. Using SAP as a tool to learn about ERP systems will require that the people understand the business processes and how they integrate. What is the difference between OLAP and Data Mining? - OLAP - On line Analytical processing is a reporting tool configured to understand your database schema ,composition facts and dimensions . By simple point-n-clicking, a user can run any number of canned or user-designed reports without having to know anything of SQL or the schema. Because of that prior configuration, the OLAP engine builds and executes the appropriate SQL. Mining is to build the application to specifically look at detailed analyses, often algorithmic; even more often misappropriate called reporting. What is Extended Star Schema and how did it emerge? - The Star Schema consists of the Dimension Tables and the Fact Table. The Master Data related tables are kept in separate tables, which has reference to the characteristics in the dimension table(s). These separate tables for master data is termed as the Extended Star Schema. Define Meta data, Master data and Transaction data - Meta Data: Data that describes the structure of data or MetaObjects is called Metadata. In other words data about data is known as Meta Data. Master Data: Master data is data that remains unchanged over a long period of time. It contains information that is always needed in the same way. Characteristics can bear master data in BW. With master data you are dealing with attributes, texts or hierarchies. Transaction data: Data relating to the day-to-day transactions is the Transaction data. Name some drawbacks of SAP - Interfaces are huge problem, Determine where master data resides, Expensive, very complex, demands highly trained staff, lengthy implementation time. What is Bex? - Bex stands for Business Explorer. Bex enables end user to locate reports, view reports, analyze information and can execute queries. The queries in workbook can be saved to there respective roles in the Bex browser. Bex has the following components: Bex Browser, Bex analyzer, Bex Map, Bex Web. What are variables? - Variables are parameters of a query that are set in the parameter query definition and are not filled with values until the queries are inserted into workbooks. There are different types of variables which are used in different application: Characteristics variables, Hierarchies and hierarchy node, Texts, Formulas, Processing types, User entry/Default type, Replacment Path.

What is AWB?. What is its purpose? - AWB stands for Administrator WorkBench. AWB is a tool for controlling, monitoring and maintaining all the processes connected with data staging and processing in the business information whearhousing. What is the significance of ODS in BIW? - An ODS Object serves to store consolidated and debugged transaction data on a document level (atomic level). It describes a consolidated dataset from one or more InfoSources. This dataset can be analyzed with a BEx Query or InfoSet Query. The data of an ODS Object can be updated with a delta update into InfoCubes and/or other ODS Objects in the same system or across systems. In contrast to multi-dimensional data storage with InfoCubes, the data in ODS Objects is stored in transparent, flat database tables. What are the different types of source system? - SAP R/3 Source Systems, SAP BW, Flat Files and External Systems. What is Extractor? - Extractors is a data retrieval mechanisms in the SAP source system. Which can fill the extract structure of a data source with the data from the SAP source system datasets. The extractor may be able to supply data to more fields than exist in the extract structure.
How would you convert a info package group into a process chain? A: Double Click on the info package grp, click on the Process Chain Maint button and type in the name and descrition ; the individual info packages are inserted automatically. How do you replace a query result from a master query to a child query? A: If you select characterstic value with replacement path then it used the results from previuos query; for ex: let us assume that u have query Q1 which displaysthe top 10 customers, we have query Q2 which gets the top 10 customers for info object 0customer with as a vairable with replacement path and display detailed report on the customers list passed from Q1. What is modeling? It is an art of designing the data base. The design of DB depends on the schema and the schema is defined as representation of tables and their relationships. What is an info cube? Info cube is structured as star schema (extended) where a fact table is surrounded by different dim table that are linked with DIMids. And the data wise, you will have aggregated data in the cubes. What is extended star schema? In Extended Star Schema, under the BW star schema model, the dimension table does not contain master data. But it is stored externally in the master data tables (texts, attributes, hierarchies). The characteristic in the dimensional table points to the relevant master data by the use of SID table. The SID table points to characteristics attribute texts and hierarchies.

This multistep navigational task adds extra overhead when executing a query. However the benefit of this model is that all fact tables (info cubes) share common master data tables between several info cubes. Moreover the SID table concept allows users to implement multi languages and multi hierarchy OLAP environments. And also it supports slowly changing dimension. What is compression? It is a process used to delete the Request IDs and this saves space. What are the options available in transfer rule and when ABAP code is recquired during the transfer rule what important variables you can use? A: Assign info object, Assign a Constant , ABAP routine or a Formula When you write user exit for variables what does I_Step do? A: I_Step is used in ABAP code as a conditional check. What is the table that is used in start routines? Always the table structure will be the structure of an ODS or InfoCube. For example if it is an ODS then active table structure will be the table. Explain how you used Start routines in your project? Start routines are used for mass processing of records. In start routine all the records of DataPackage is available for processing. So we can process all these records together in start routine. In one of scenario, we wanted to apply size % to the forecast data. For example if material M1 is forecasted to say 100 in May. Then after applying size %(Small 20%, Medium 40%, Large 20%, Extra Large 20%), we wanted to have 4 records against one single record that is coming in the info package. This is achieved in start routine. What are Return Tables? When we want to return multiple records, instead of single value, we use the return table in the Update Routine. Example: If we have total telephone expense for a Cost Center, using a return table we can get expense per employee. How do start routine and return table synchronize with each other? Return table is used to return the Value following the execution of start routine What is the difference between V1, V2 and V3 updates? V1 Update: It is a Synchronous update. Here the Statistics update is carried out at the same time as the document update (in the application tables). V2 Update: It is an Asynchronous update. Statistics update and the Document update take place as different tasks. o V1 & V2 dont need scheduling.

 Serialized V3 Update: The V3 collective update must be scheduled as a job (via LBWE). Here, document data is collected in the order it was created and transferred into the BW as a batch job. The transfer sequence may not be the same as the order in which the data was created in all scenarios. V3 update only processes the update data that is successfully processed with the V2 update. What is Rollup? This is used to load new DataPackages (requests) into the InfoCube aggregates. If we have not performed a rollup then the new InfoCube data will not be available while reporting on the aggregate. How would you optimize the dimensions? A: Use as many as possible for performance improvement; Ex: Assume that u have 100 products and 200 customers; if you make one dimension for both ,the size of the dimension will be 20000; if you make individual dimensions then the total number of rows will be 300. Even if you put more than one characterstic per dimension, do the math considering worst case senerio and decide which characterstics may be combined in a dimension. What is table partitioning and what are the benefits of partitioning in an InfoCube? It is the method of dividing a table which would enable a quick reference. SAP uses fact file partitioning to improve performance. We can partition only at 0CALMONTH or 0FISCPER. Table partitioning helps to run the report faster as data is stored in the relevant partitions. Also table maintenance becomes easier. Oracle, Informix, IBM DB2/390 supports table partitioning while SAP DB, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2/400 do not support table portioning. How many extra partitions are created and why? Two partitions are created for date before the begin date and after the end date. What are the options available in transfer rule? InfoObject Constant Routine Formula Under which menu path is the Test Workbench to be found, including in earlier Releases? The menu path is: Tools ABAP Workbench Test Test Workbench. Errors while monitoring process chains.

A) During data loading. Apart from them, in process chains you add so many process types, for example after loading data into Info Cube, you rollup data into aggregates, now this rolling up of data into aggregates is a process type which you keep after the process type for loading data into Cube. This rolling up into aggregates might fail. Another one is after you load data into ODS, you activate ODS data (another process type) this might also fail. In Monitor Details (Header/Status/Details) Under Processing (data packet): Everything OK Context menu of Data Package 1 (1 Records): Everything OK - Simulate update. (Here we can debug update rules or transfer rules.) SM50 Program/Mode Program Debugging & debug this work process. PSA Cleansing. A) You know how to edit PSA. I dont think you can delete single records. You have to delete entire PSA data for a request. Can we make a datasource to support delta. A) If this is a custom (user-defined) datasource you can make the datasource delta enabled. While creating datasource from RSO2, after entering datasource name and pressing create, in the next screen there is one button at the top, which says generic delta. If you want more details about this there is a chapter in Extraction book, its in last pages u find out. Generic delta services: Supports delta extraction for generic extractors according to: Time stamp Calendar day Numeric pointer, such as document number & counter Only one of these attributes can be set as a delta attribute. Delta extraction is supported for all generic extractors, such as tables/views, SAP Query and function modules

The delta queue (RSA7) allows you to monitor the current status of the delta attribute What are the conversion routines for units and currencies in the update rule? A: Time dimensions are automatically converted; Ex: if the cube contains calender month and your transfer structure contains date, the date to calender month is converted automatically. Can you make an infoobject as info provider and why? A. Yes, When you want to report on characterstics or master data, you can make them as infoprovider. Ex: you can make 0CUSTMER as infoprovider and do Bex reporting on 0 CUSTOMER;right click on the infoarea and select Insert characterstic as data target. What are the steps to unload non cumulative cubes? A: 1. Initialize openig balance in R/3(S278) 2. Activate extract structure MC03BF0 for data source 2LIS_03_BF 3. setup historical material docus in R/3. 4. load opening balance using data source 2LIS_40_s278 5. load historical movements and compress without marker update. 6. setup V3 Update 7. load deltas using 2LIS_03_BF Give step to step approach to archiving cubex. A: 1. double click on the cube (or right click and select change) 2. Extras -> Select archival 3. Choose fields for selection(like 0CALDAY, 0CUSTOMER..etc) 4. Define the file structure(max file size and max no of data objects) 5. Select the folder(logical file name) 6. Select the delete options (not scheduled, start automatically or after event) 7. activate the cube. 8. cube is ready for archival. What are the load process and post processing? A: Info packake, Read PSA and update data target, Save Hierarchy, Update ODS data object, Data export(open hub), delete overlapping requests. What are the data target administration task A: delete index, generate index, construct database statistics, initial fill of new aggregates, roll up of filled aggregates, compression of the infocube,activate ODS,

complete deletion of data target. What are the parallel process that could have locking problems A: 1. heirachy attribute change run 2. loading master data from same infoobject; for ex: avoid master data from different source systems at the same time. 3. rolling up for the same info cube. 4. selecting deletion of info cube/ ODS and parallel loading. 5. activation or delection of ODS object when loading parallel. How do you transoform Open Hub Data? A: Using BADI What are the data loading tuning one can do? A: 1. watch the ABAP code in transfer and update rules; 2. load balance on different servers 3. indexes on source tables 4. use fixed length files if u load data from flat files and put the file on the application server. 5. use content extractor 6. use PSA and data target inparallel option in the info package 7. start several info packagers parallel with different selection options 8. buffer the SID number ranges if u load lot of data at once 9. load master data before loading transaction data. What is ODS? A: Operations data Source . u can overwrite the existing data in ODS. What is the use of BW Statistics? A: The sets of cubes delivered by SAP is used to measure performance for query, loading data etc., It also shoes the usage of aggregates and the cost associated with then. What are the options when definging aggregates? A: * groups accotding to characterstics H Hierarchy F fixed value Blank none How will you debug errors with SAP GUI (like Active X error etc) A: Run Bex analyzer -> Business Explorer menu item -> Installation check; this shows an excel sheet with a start button; click on it; this verifies the GUI installation ;if u find any errors either reinstall or fix it.

How do you define exception reporting in the background?

A: Use the reporting agent for this from the AWB. Click on the exception icon on the left;give a name and description. Select the exception from query for reporting(drag and drop). 1. What is SAP? SAP - Systems, Applications and products in data processing. 2. What is transaction code? A transaction code is a four-character command that tells the system location of a task 3. What is /n stands for? End current system task and go to new system task. 4. What is /o stands for? Create a new session and go to new system task without closing prior session. 5. What is BW? The SAP Business Information Warehouse allows you to analyze data from operative SAP applications as well as all other business applications and external data sources such as databases, online services and the Internet. 6.What is infoobject? Business evaluation objects (for example, customers, and sales) are referred to as InfoObjects in BW. InfoObjects are the smallest components in BW. They are used to structure the information that is needed to create larger BW objects, such as InfoCubes or ODS Objects. 7.What is Datasource? DataSources are flat data structures containing data that logically belongs together. They are responsible for extracting and staging data from various source systems. 8.what is infosource? InfoSources are the group of InfoObjects that belong together from a business point ofview. It contains the transactional data obtained from the transactions in onlinetransactional processes (OLTP) and master data such as addresses of customers andorganizations, which remain unchanged for longer time period. An InfoSource is a quantity of information that logically belongs together, summarized into a single unit. InfoSources contain either transaction data or master data (attributes, texts and hierarchies). What is Star Schema? In Star Schema model, Fact table is surrounded by dimensional tables. Fact table is usually very large, that means it contains millions to billions of records. On the other hand dimensional tables are very small. Hence they contain a few thousands to few

million records. In practice, Fact table holds transactional data and dimensional table holds master data. The dimensional tables are specific to a fact table. This means that dimensional tables are not shared to across other fact tables. When other fact table such as a product needs the same product dimension data another dimension table that is specific to a new fact table is needed. This situation creates data management problems such as master data redundancy because the very same product is duplicated in several dimensional tables instead of sharing from one single master data table. This problem can be solved in extended star schema. What is extended star schema? In Extended Star Schema, under the BW star schema model, the dimension table does not contain master data. But it is stored externally in the master data tables (texts, attributes, hierarchies). The characteristic in the dimensional table points to the relevant master data by the use of SID table. The SID table points to characteristics attribute texts and hierarchies. This multi step navigational task adds extra overhead when executing a query. However the benefit of this model is that all fact tables (info cubes) share common master data tables between several info cubes. Moreover the SID table concept allows users to implement multi languages and multi hierarchy OLAP environments. And also it supports slowly changing dimension. What is slowly changing dimension? Dimensions those changes with time are called slowly changing dimension. What is fact table? Fact table is the collection if facts and relations that means foreign keys with the dimension. Actually fact table holds transactional data. What is dimension table? Dimension table is a collection of logically related descriptive attributes that means characteristics. What is modeling? It is an art of designing the data base. The design of DB depends on the schema and the schema is defined as representation of tables and their relationships. What is an info cube? Info cube is structured as star schema (extended) where a fact table is surrounded by different dim table that are linked with DIM'ids. And the data wise, you will have aggregated data in the cubes. How many tables does info cube contain? Actually info cube contains two tables E table and F (fact) table.

What is the maximum no. of dimensions in info cube? 16(3 are sap defines and 13 are customer defined) What are the minimum no of dimensions in info cube? 4(3 Sap defined and 1 customer defined). What are the 3SAP defined dimensions? The 3 SAP defined dimensions are.. 1. Data packet dimension (P)..it contains 3characteristics.a) request Id (b) Record type (c) Change run id 2. Time dimension (T).it contains time characteristics such as 0calmonth, 0calday etc 3. Unit Dimension (U)it contains basically amount and quantity related units. What is the maximum no. of key figures? 233 What is the maximum no. of characteristics? 248 What is the model of the info cube? Info cube model is extended star schema. What are the data types for the characteristic info object? There are 4types: 1. CHAR 2. NUMC 3. DATS 4. TIMS How youll write date in BW? YYYYMMDD
12) What is partitioning and what are the benefits of partitioning in an InfoCube? A) Partitioning is the method of dividing a table (either column wise or row wise) based on the fields available which would enable a quick reference for the intended values of the fields in the table. By partitioning an infocube, the reporting performance is enhanced because it is easier to search in smaller tables. Also table maintenance becomes easier. 13) What does Rollup do? A) Rollup creates aggregates in an infocube whenever new data is loaded. 14) What are the inputs for an infoset? A) The inputs for an infoset are ODS objects and InfoObjects (with master data or text). 15) What internally happens when BW objects like Info Object, Info Cube or ODS are created and activated? A) When an InfoObject, InfoCube or ODS object is created, BW maintains a saved version of that object but does not make it available for use. Once the object is activated, BW creates an active version that is available for use. 16) What is the maximum number of key fields that you can have in an ODS object? A) 16.

17) What is the specific advantage of LO extraction over LIS extraction? A) The load performance of LO extraction is better than that of LIS. In LIS two tables are used for delta management that is cumbersome. In LO only one delta queue is used for delta management. 18) What is the importance of 0REQUID? A) It is the InfoObject for Request id. OREQUID enables BW to distinguish between different data records. 19) Can you add programs in the scheduler? A) Yes. Through event handling. 20) What is the importance of the table ROIDOCPRMS? A) It is an IDOC parameter source system. This table contains the details of the data transfer like the source system of the data, data packet size, maximum number of lines in a data packet, etc. The data packet size can be changed through the control parameters option on SBIW i.e., the contents of this table can be changed. 21) What is the importance of start routine in update rules? A) A Start routine is a user exit that can be executed before the update rule starts to allow more complex computations for a key figure or a characteristic. The start routine has no return value. Its purpose is to execute preliminary calculations and to store them in a global data structure. You can access this structure or table in the other routines. 22) When is IDOC data transfer used? A) IDOCs are used for communication between logical systems like SAP R/3, R/2 and non-SAP systems using ALE and for communication between an SAP R/3 system and a non-SAP system. In BW, an IDOC is a data container for data exchange between SAP systems or between SAP systems and external systems based on an EDI interface. IDOCs support limited file size of 1000 bytes. So IDOCs are not used when loading data into PSA since data there is more detailed. It is used when the file size is lesser than 1000 bytes. 23) What is partitioning characteristic in CO-PA used for? A) For easier parallel search and load of data. 24) What is the advantage of BW reporting on CO-PA data compared with directly running the queries on CO-PA? A) BW has a better performance advantage over reporting in R/3. For a huge amount of data, the R/3 reporting tool is at a serious disadvantage because R/3 is modeled as an OLTP system and is good for transaction processing rather than analytical processing. 25) What is the function of BW statistics cube? A) BW statistics cube contains the data related to the reporting performance and the data loads of all the InfoCubes in the BW system. 26) When an ODS is in overwrite mode, does uploading the same data again and again create new entries in the change log each time data is uploaded? A) No. 27) What is the function of selective deletion tab in the manage->contents of an infocube? A) It allows us to select a particular value of a particular field and delete its contents. 28) When we collapse an infocube, is the consolidated data stored in the same infocubeinfocube? or is it stored in the new A) Data is stored in the same cube. 29) What is the effect of aggregation on the performance? Are there any negative effects on the performance? A) Aggregation improves the performance in reporting. 30) What happens when you load transaction data without loading master data? A) The transaction data gets loaded and the master data fields remain blank.

31) When given a choice between a single infocube and multiple InfoCubes with a multiprovider, what factors does one need to consider before making a decision? A) One would have to see if the InfoCubes are used individually. If these cubes are often used individually, then it is better to go for a multiprovider with many cubes since the reporting would be faster for an individual cube query rather than for a big cube with lot of data. 32) How many hierarchy levels can be created for a characteristic info object? A) Maximum of 98 levels. 33) What is open hub service? A) The open hub service enables you to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, you can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for the export of data is the Infospoke. Using this, you can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred. Through the open hub service, SAP BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the distribution status in the BW system. 34) What is the function of reconstruction tab in an infocube? A) It reconstructs the deleted requests from the infocube. If a request has been deleted and later someone wants the data records of that request to be added to the infocube, one can use the reconstruction tab to add those records. It goes to the PSA and brings the data to the infocube. 35) What are secondary indexes with respect to InfoCubes? A) Index created in addition to the primary index of the infocube. When you activate a table in the ABAP Dictionary, an index is created on the primary key fields of the table. Further indexes created for the table are called secondary indexes. 36) What is DB connect and where is it used? A) DB connect is database connecting piece of program. It is used in connecting third party tools with BW for reporting purpose. 37) Can we extract hierarchies from R/3 for CO-PA? A) No We cannot, NO hierarchies in CO/PA?. 38) Explain field name for partitioning in CO-PA A) The CO/PA partitioning is used to decrease package size (eg: company code) 39) What is V3 update method ? A) It is a program in R/3 source system that schedules batch jobs to update extract structure to data source collectively. 40) Differences between serialized and non-serialized V3 updates 41) What is the common method of finding the tables used in any R/3 extraction A) By using the transaction LISTSCHEMA we can navigate the tables. 42) Differences between table view and infoset query A) An InfoSet Query is a query using flat tables. 43) How to load data from one InfoCube to another InfoCube ? A) Thro DataMarts data can be loaded from one InfoCube to another InfoCube. 44) What is the significance of setup tables in LO extractions ? A) It adds the Selection Criteria to the LO extraction. 45) Difference between extract structure and datasource A) In Datasource we define the data from diff source sys,where as in extract struct it contains the replicated data of datasource n where in we can define extract rules, n transfer rules B) Extract Structure is a record layout of InfoObjects. C) Extract Structure is created on SAP BW system. 46) What happens internally when Delta is Initialized 47) What is referential integrity mechanism ?

A) Referential integrity is the property that guarantees that values from one column depend on values from another column.This property is enforced through integrity constraints. 48) What is activation of extract structure in LO ? 49) What is the difference between Info IDoc and data IDoc ? 50) What is D-Management in LO ? A) It is a method used in delta update methods, which is based on change log in LO
