Loading data from DSO to InfoCubeBoth DSO and Infocube are designed to store Transaction data.. then what is the difference between these.. why are we using 2 different objects for storing data..

* DSO is having data overwriting capabilities...

ex:       request    material   vendor   customer   price             REQ1       M01      V01      C02          25                 REQ2       M01      V01      C02          30

Here we have 2 requests   REQ1  & REQ2...

now.... in DSO data will be saved in this way

                            M01      V01      C02          30

Second request will be saved

In InfoCube data will be saved in this way

                           M01      V01      C02          55

the value will be added to the previous request...

*  DSO can store more granular data

*  InfoCube stores aggregated data

DSO stores granular data and infocube stores aggregated data..

now lets see how we can load data from DSO to infocube..

This is our DSO...

Now lets create a infocube and load data of DSO to InfoCube..

 Infocube is now ready... Activate it...

Now lets create a transformation from DSO to InfoCube

Activate Transformation

Transformation is ready... Now lets create DTP to pull data from DSO to InfoCube..

Now we have moved data from DSO to InfoCube
