SUMMARY STEPS

1. Create InfoArea.
2. Create InfoObject Catalogs:

a. For Characteristics (CHAR) ,

b. For Key Figure (KF) .

InfoObjects, DSO and InfoCube
3. Create InfoObjects:
a. Characteristics (under Catalog CHAR) specify: with(out) Attribute or has Text.
b. Key Figures (under Catalog KF).
c. Remember to assign Sub-Chars into Main-Char (under Attribute tab/section).

4. Create DSO :
a. Define Key fields uniquely define the record.
b. Define Data fields the rest of fields.

5. Create InfoCube type: standard (basic).

a. Define/create Dimensions .
b. Assign Characteristics to Dimensions.
c. Choose Key Figures.
d. Check any Navigational Attributes. Enable it, either at InfoCube or InfoObject section.
Extraction, Transformation and Loading (ETL)
6. Create Application Component.

7. Create DataSource , each for:

a. Master data Attributes Direct Access Allowed, Header Row ignore: 1, Data format CSV.
b. Master data Text Direct Access Allowed, Header Row ignore: 1, Data format CSV.
c. Transaction data no DTP allowed for Direct Access, Header Row ignore: 1, CSV

8. Create Transformation : specify Mapping and Transformation Rule (if any).

9. Create DTP Extraction mode: Full. Specify File location, Data format CSV.
a. Master data Attribute: i) direct loading, without PSA, ii) DataSource InfoObject.
b. Master data Text: i) direct loading, without PSA, ii) DataSource InfoObject.
c. Transaction data: i) with PSA, ii) PSA DSO.
Note: always check your Data to see whether ETL is successful.
10. Activate data loaded into DSO: New Data Active Data & Change Log. Check data inside DSO!
11. ETL: create Transformation and DTP for DSO InfoCube. Check data inside InfoCube!

Do what and where:

1st step: create Catalog and Objects InfoObjects.

2nd step: create DSO and InfoCube InfoProvider.

3rd step: create App Component & DataSource DataSources

4th step: do ETL for MD InfoProvider >> InfoObjects

5th step: do ETL for TD InfoProvider >> DSO

6th step: do ETL for DSO to IC InfoProvider >> InfoCube

Completeness check:
InfoObjects: Characteristics Key Figure activated.

DataSources: MD attribute MD text Transaction data.

InfoProvider: = data loading
