Generate Time Data in SAP HANA - Part 2

[former_member182277]

Hello Everyone,

In this document, I tried to explain "Generate Time Data" functionality. Through this, I am trying to provide the general idea about the "Generate Time Data" using Calendar Type “Fiscal”.

This is the continuation of the previous document http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-25977

Procedure:

1. Generate the master data from the specific time frame that you are interested in

• On the Quick Launch Page > Data > Generate Time Data

2. Verify the generated data within _SYS_BI.M_FISICAL_CALENDAR

3. Create a new Fiscal Time based Attribute view

• Right Click on Attribute View > New

4. Enter FISCAL_00 for the name of the view

• For the Calendar Type Select > Fiscal.
• For the variant select K4:800
• Click on Auto Create.
• Click Finish.

5. As a result you will see the fiscal calendar table with the generated Attributes.

     Note: Optionally you can remove any attribute fields that are not needed.

6. Right Click on the Attribute View > Activate

7. Right Click on the Attribute View > Preview

8. Use the Attribute view within an existing Analytical View AN_TIME_00.

• Right Click on Analytical View > Open

9. Open the logical view.

10. Drag the FISICAL_00 attribute view into the Analytical views logical view.

11. Create a join (referential n..1) between FISCAL_00.DATE and the data foundation HZDAT field.

12. Activate & Preview

Hope it is useful for all.. :smile:

Thanks for reading the document.
