Type of Execution

Procedure

Include roll-up of the data packages as a process in a process chain

We recommend use in a process chain

·         for complex flows

·         for difficulties with automations and event collectors

·         for all new developments

...

       1.      In the Manage Data Targets screen select tabpage Rollup.

The system recommends the greatest possible value for Rollup to Request ID. You can overwrite this if necessary.

       2.      Choose Process chain maintenance.

Transaction RSPC takes you to the Process Chain Selection dialog box with an overview of the process chains in the BW system.

If there is no suitable process chain, you can create a new process chain with the process of rolling up.

You can find additional information under  Creating a Process Chain in the Creating a Process Chain Using the Maintenance Dialog for a Process section.

Start data package roll-up manually

Use this procedure if the data of multiple data packages form one logical unit and should therefore only be released together.

Different plants deliver their data at different times. The data should only be visible in the InfoCube when all the plants have loaded their data into the InfoCube.

...

       1.      In the Manage Data Targets screen select tabpage Rollup.

       2.      Choose Selection. You get to the Start Time dialog box.

       3.      Select the start date. You have the following options:

Immediate start

Date/time

After job

After event

At operation mode

       4.      Set the appropriate flag if you want to run the job periodically.

       5.      Save your entries.

Type of Execution

Procedure

Subsequent Processing

...

       1.      In the Manage Data Targets screen select tabpage Roll-Up.

       2.      Select Subsequent processing. The Maintain Events Performed after Processing dialog box appears.

You can find additional information under Process Control and Creating an Event Collector.

Roll up each data package to the aggregate automatically

The InfoCube must be technically correct and you must be sure of its quality.

Only use automatic roll-up if you load requests into the InfoCube in such a way that there is no time overlap for the load process, the roll-up and other automatisms in the InfoCube.

For more information see Automatic Further Processing.

...

       1.      In the Manage Data Targets screen choose Environment -> Automatic Request Processing. The Maintenance of the Automatisms dialog box appears.

       2.      Set the flag for rolling up the data into the aggregate under the group header Automatic Processing.

       3.      Save your entries.

Program RSDDK_AGGREGATES_ROLLUP

You can also roll up with program RSDDK_AGGREGATES_ROLLUP (see Direct Execution - Reports).

You can schedule this program as a regular background job or use it in an Event Collector.
