SAP BW Direct Update DSO Guide

This document provides information about direct update data store objects (DSOs) in SAP BW. It explains that direct update DSOs allow for parallel loading of data directly into an active table, without an activation process. It describes how to find the analysis process (APD) and process chain associated with loading data into a direct update DSO using transaction codes SE16 and RSANWB to check the APD name and job log.

Direct Update DSO in SAP BW

created by Yogen Patil on Aug 22, 2013 3:17 PM, last modified by Jason Lax on Aug 28, 2013 6:48 AM
Version 2
The document is aimed at all those who are at beginner level in BW. I am trying to give some information about
Direct Update DSO and how to find process chain name which includes APD for direct update DSO.Content is
purely based on my work experience & learning’s.
 
Applies to:
SAP BI/BW 7.0 and above.
 
DSO:
DSO stands from “DATA STORE OBJECT”. DSO’s have a 2-dimensional flat database table that contains key
figures and characteristics. Data can be aggregated as well be over-written into DSO. We can use DSO’s for direct
reporting but usually we use InfoCube.
 
Types of DSO :
Type Structure Data Supply
Consist of 3 tables : Activation Queue, Table of
Standard DSO active data, change log Via DTP
Write Optimized DSO only one table : Active table Via DTP
Direct Update DSO only one table : Active table Via APD
 
 
Direct Update DSO :
Direct update DSO ensures that the data is available quickly, and can be written to the DSO by several users at the
same time. So when we use this DSO , data get updated in active table directly which reduces time of activation process like
Standard DSO.
 
Key Points :
 Ø SID’s can’t be generated in such DSO.
 Ø Data records with same key are not aggregated in such DSO.
 Ø Every record have its own technical key.
 Ø Supports parallel load.
 Ø While creating DSO we need to specify type of DSO. So in this case choose option - “Direct Update”.
 
T code – RSA1
 
 
 
APD  (Analysis Process Designer):
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.
T Code -  RSANWB
 
 

 
Finding chain for Direct update DSO
Business Scenario : When we work with Direct update DSO and we need to track data load but we
don’t know how it get loaded/by which APD into DSO. We can’t find chain name directly as there
are no requests in direct update DSO administration.
1. Step 1: Find APD name for DSO using table RSANT_PROCESSI (T Code : SE16)
 

 
 
1. Step 2: Search APD name related to DSO into BW (Use t code RSANWB to display APD).
 
1. Step 3: Check monitor to find execution or frequency of APD.
 

 
 
 
1. Step 4: Check process chain name in job log of APD.
