"Transfer process" in BW 7.0

[Former Member]

Hello everybody

Does anybody have any information about what it is called as a "transfer process" in BW 7.0? We would like to know how to launch a "transfer process" or how to manage it or whatever.

I don't know anything about this subject, and I think this is a new concept in BW 7.0.

Thanks in advance,

Regards, Inma

Hi Inma,

Transfer process = Transformations

Transformations:

-

---

-->Trsnsformations are used to create mappings between two BI Objects and to

transform data from BI Source(From where) to BI Target .

-->You can create One-One Mappings between source and target in BI

-->In transformations Source is : DataSource, InfoSource, DataStore object,

InfoCube, InfoObject and InfoSet

-->Target is: InfoSource, InfoObject, DataStore object and InfoCube.

-->Transformations replaces the transfer and update rules.It's like creating transfer

rules and update rules.Through these rules/mappings/transformations, the

system is going to transform data from Source to Target.

*Do the following steps to create transformations:

-

---

-->Right Click(Context menu) on Infocube/Infoprovider.

-->Select Create Transformations

-->You can create transformations by using Infocube, Data store object,

Infoobject, Infoset and Infosource.

-->You need to specify the Target and Source. Between what you want to create

transformations in Object Type.

-->Then you will get Transformations screen by generating Proposals, where you

can create the mappings.

-->Finally save and activate inorder to use the transformations.

Example: Following is one example in creating transfer process.

Steps to create Routines:

-

---

-->Once you are on Create Transformations screen

-->Double Click on Rule Type(Click on '=' symbol)

-->You will see

Description of the rule: xxxxxxx

Target Infoobject: xxxxxxxxx

Rule Type: xxxxxxxx

Conversion Routine:xxxxxxx

-->Use F4 and select Rule Type as Routine.

-->Create the Routine.

-->Finally save vand activate it.

Thanks for the very useful answers.

One more question about this:

One more question about it, does anybody knows any method or function or anything to launch a DTP from ABAP code?

We have a method IF_RSBK_REALTIME_PROCESS~EXECUTE from class CL_RSBK_PROCESS, but we need the request id, how can we get this request id?

Hi!

you might be referring to Data transfer process there are new in 2004s to load the data from PSA into data target.You use the data transfer process (DTP) to transfer data within BI from a persistent object to another object in accordance with certain transformations and filters. In this respect, it replaces the data mart interface and the InfoPackage. As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s, the InfoPackage only loads data to the entry layer of BI (PSA).
