How To Group Records in a Data Package (DTP) in SAP Netweaver BW (BI)

Posted by Hau Ngo on Oct 6, 2010 in SAP Business Intelligence | 10 comments

Here is an example where I wanted to specify how the records are read and formed when data is loaded in BW. That is, I wanted to ensure certain groups of data are logically packaged in one data package (DTP) and not sprinkled across two different data packages.

You will run into this rare, but frustrating bug in SAP’s Netweaver BW modeling interface when editing infocubes: unable to uncheck or unselect the Line Item Dimension.

Fast forward 14 months and I found that three models that I worked with are using my pictures for their profile and portfolio. Feels great!
