Open Hub-Extraction of Data FRM SAP To Non SAP

This document demonstrates extracting data from an SAP InfoCube using Open Hub Destination (OHD) to load the data into a database table and flat file. OHD provides scheduled extraction of consolidated data from SAP BI to external systems. The steps shown include creating an OHD targeting a database table or flat file, mapping fields between the InfoCube and target, creating a transformation, and executing a data transfer process to load the data. Screenshots confirm the extracted data is successfully loaded to the external destinations.

Aim: To explain Open Hub Destination and to demonstrate the extraction of data from
an Info Cube to database tables and flat files. What is Open Hub Destination?
Open Hub is a SAP BI component where this service provides the framework for
scheduled and monitored extraction of consolidated and integrated data from the SAP BI
and the controlled distribution of data for external systems or applications.
When we use Open Hub Destination?
For example our company has an external data warehouse system and we want to make
the data available to this system in the form of tables or files then go for Open Hub
service.
Where we should not use Open Hub Service?
We should not use Open Hub Service if we want to transfer the data into other SAP
systems or applications.
What are the important functions of Open Hub Service?
a)DB tables and Flat file in CSV format: The data of database tables of the third-party
can be obtained using API’s
b) Full and Delta extraction mode possible.
c) OHD is a part of data flow: Using the data flow options such as transformations
and target object for data transfer process.
d)It supports all BI data targets such as Info Cube, Multi-providers, DSO,
Characteristic Info-Objects.
e)Monitoring: Integrated monitor and application log.

The Transaction Code for creating Open Hub is RSBOH1.


The other way to go into the OHD creation screen is by selecting the Open Hub
Destination in the modeling tab which is as shown below…
Let us consider the Info Cube ZIC_ISET with the following data….

1. Extracting data into a database table…


Right Click on the Infoarea on which we get an option to create OHD….

Now in the OHD screen we have to enter the technical name and description of OHD we are creating
and we have to specify the Info Cube from which we want to extract the data….
We have to enter the destination type as database table in the destination tab, then a database
table will be automatically created as below….

In the field definition tab we have to make sure that that all the fields are copied success
fully for the Info Cube selected….
"

When we try to activate the OHD we will get a pop-up with the following message and upon saying
OK it will be activated.

On successfully activating the OHD we have to create a Transformation to map between Cube and
OHD.
Now we have to enter the name of the cube in the source of the transformation as shown
in the figure….

The following screen shows the mapping of objects…

After successfully creating the Transformation, we have to create the DTP for transferring the data.

Now activate and execute the DTP so that the data is transferred….
In the monitor we can check that the data is transferred successfully into the database
table….

oto SE16 and check the data in the database table….


The following data is loaded in the database table which is in the Info cube....

2. Extracting Data into Flat FileFor loading the the data into a flat file the procedure is the same
as the above but while creating the OHD we need to select the destination type as file, then a CSV
file is created with the given path.
The following screen indicates the CSV file created and the directory taken.

In the monitor we check that the data is transferred successfully into the flat file….

The following indicates the data in the CSV file which is extracted from the Info Cube.
