Procedure

Including rollup of data package as a process in a process chain

We recommend that you include this in a process chain

·         for complex flows

·         where there are difficulties with automations and event collectors

·         for all new developments

...

       1.      In the Manage Data Targets screen select the Rollup tab page.

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. Here you obtain an overview of the process chains that exist in the BW system.

If no suitable process chain is available, you can create a new process chain for the rollup.

For more information, see Creating Process Chains in the section Creating Process Chains by Using a Maintenance Dialog for a Process.  

Starting data package rollup manually

Use this procedure especially when the data from several data packages create a logical unit, and they therefore only need to be released.

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 the Rollup tab page.

       2.      Choose Selection. The Start Time dialog box appears.

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

-         Immediate start

-         Date/time

-         After job

-         After event

-         In operation mode

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

       5.      Save your entries.

Execution Mode

Procedure

Postprocessing

...

       1.      In the Manage Data Targets screen select the Rollup tab page.

       2.      Choose Postprocessing. The Maintain Events Performed after Processing dialog box appears.

For more information, see Process Control and Creating an Event Collector.

Roll up each data package in the aggregate automatically

The InfoCube has to be technically correct and the quality has to be assured.

Only use the automatic rollup if you are loading requests into the InfoCube and there is no overlap between the processes for loading, rollup, and the other automatisms for the InfoCube.

For more information, see Automatic Further Processing.

...

       1.      On the Manage Data Targets screen choose Environment -> Automatic Request Processing. The Automatism Maintenance dialog box appears.

       2.      Under the group header Automatic Processing, set the Rollup Data into the Aggregate indicator.

       3.      Save your entries.

Program RSDDK_AGGREGATES_ROLLUP

You can also run rollup using 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 .
