Concatenate characters to characteristic value enetered

Hi,
We need to concatenate some characters with the Cost Center data entered by users and populate the resultant data in another characteristic, for the same transaction record - this needs to be done before data is written to the cube.
Some topics in the forum suggested using exit functions for similar problems. But how do we pass cost center (or for that matter any characteristic value)from the buffer to the function and pass the concatenated (or massaged) data back to the same record in the buffer.
If not exit, what are the other options?
Looking forward to advice and suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Krishna

Hi Srini,
Thanks for the quick response.
The concatenation I mentioned is required in BPS while writing data into transactional infocube. The user would be entering the cost center data along with other planning information. We need to pick up the costcenter entered by the user and derive another characteristic.
Since I cant have update rules, I'm left with the option of writing some exists.
The new data will be in a Z info object - not linked to Cost Center in any way.
Thanks again
Krishna

How to get Characteristic Values assigned to the line item of Sales Order?

Hi,
I want to get the Characteristic Values( Variant Configuration )assigned to First Line Item of Sales Order.
I was using the Fn. Mod.: VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION_IBASE,
this fn. mod. giving all the Characters but not the assigned characteristic values.
Is there any other way to find characteristic values of sales order.
Thanks,
vinayak.

Issue in Custome FM of Characteristic Value

Hi All,
I have created Custom FM for possible values of Characteristic.
Its working fine in all transaction except CU60.
In Cu60 Transaction if user click on F4 for characteristic value My custom help popup is coming. when user select any of the value its populating in table maintenance. But Issue the issue is when user is saving those value those value are not saving in table maintenance.
Please tell me if I need to do any addition stuff.
I have created FM using below SAP Doc.
Function Module for Checking Values
In this field, you can enter the name of a function module for checking characteristic values entered by the user. The function module can be created in any function group.
The following restrictions apply:
The function module must use the standardized interface.
The function module name cannot have more than 27 characters.
This allows names to be inferred for further function modules: for the possible entries on the value assignment screen, and for copying language-dependent value descriptions:
Function module for possible entries
<function module for value check> + suffix "_F4"
Function module for language-dependent value descriptions
<function module for value check> + suffix "_DC"
Interface for Function Module for Checking Values
Import Parameters:
CHARACT_NO LIKE CABN-ATINN Internal characteristic number
CHARACT LIKE CABN-ATNAM Characteristic name
VALUE LIKE CAWN-ATWRT Value to be checked
Exceptions:
NOT_FOUND   Value not found
Interface for Function Module for Possible Entries
Import Parameters:
CHARACT_NO LIKE CABN-ATINN Internal characteristic number
CHARACT LIKE CABN-ATNAM Characteristic name
DISPLAY   Display values only,
   if DISPLAY = 'X'
ADDITIONAL_VALUES LIKE CABN-ATSON Additional values allowed
   if ADDITIONAL_VALUES = 'X'
   (if you want the possible
   entries dialog box to contain an
   additional line for entry)
MULTIPLE_VALUES LIKE RCTMV-ATLIS Multiple values allowed
LANGUAGE LIKE SY-LANGU Language indicator
DISPLAY_WITH_LANGUAGE   Display value with description
Tables
VALUES LIKE RCTVALUES Selected values
   When you call this table, it
   contains existing values.
   Deleted values have status 'D'
   in the table.
   New values have status 'I'
   in the table.
The function module must also let you display and select values using the possible entries pushbutton. To display possible entries, you can use function modules in function group SHL3, such as HELP_VALUES_GET_WITH_TABLE_EXT. The content is described in the function module documentation.
Interface for Function Module for Language-Dependent Value Descriptions
Import parameters
CHARACT_NO LIKE CABN-ATINN Internal characteristic number
CHARACT LIKE CABN-ATNAM Characteristic name
VALUE LIKE CAWN-ATWRT Value to be checked
LANGUAGE LIKE SY-LANGU System language
Exceptions
NOT_FOUND   Value not found
If you use this function module after the function module for checking values, the language-dependent description of the value is copied to the value assignment screen.
Note
Please note that the program code must be based on the predefined interfaces. If your program is not based on these interfaces, the program may terminate with a short dump.
Please note also that the function module cannot take into account any restrictions on allowed values that are due to inheritance or object dependencies, because the function can only read data that is already saved to database tables. The function cannot read current user entries.

I have Created two FM Function Module for Checking Values and Function Module for Possible Entries

Characteristic values as hyperlinks in a web report

Hi All
I have a web report with only one characteristic and some key figures. And the number of values for that characteristics are 5 and they are always fixed (structure). In my report I need to make each of that characteristic value a hyper link. I have 5 separate reports which should be linked to these 5 characteristic values.
I think this can be achieved by using a table interface. If yes, could any one please provide me with the code for the method CHARACTERISTIC_CELL in the ABAP class?
Or, is there any other better solution?
Points will be assigned!
Thank you

How to display characteristic values in X achsis in chart web item

Hello,
I have a chart web item which has to display key figure (Y achsis) with three characteristics T, A and B.
The first characteristic T has two values T1 and T2 which are represented through two columns in the graphic area.
The second characteristic A has three values and the second B has 7 values.
The characteristic values have to be listed as below in the graphic:
Y
^
|
| T1T2 T1T2 T1T2 T1T2 T1T2 T1T2 T1T2 T1T2 T1T2 T1T2 T1T2 T1T2
|.......................................................................................................................................................> X
0__A1__A2___A3__A1__ A2__A3___A1___A2__A3__A1__ A2 A3
_______B1________B2_______B3______B4_______B5__________..........
The third characterisitic with the two values T1T2 will be represented in the graphic with two chart colors which will be explained by the legend.
How can i set the chart item so that the characteristics values (for example 5 characters for each values) can be displayed for example vertically in the X achsis as drawed above.
Thanks for helping

Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs is taking long time

Hi Experts,
Cube load is taking more than 7 hrs to complete for 6 million records. Max time is at Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Cube consists of 500 fields. Load is from DSO to Cube. DSO has 10 fileds with no SID flag check for activation. Remaining fields in the CUBE are pouplated looking in to other DSO's. Start and End routines are executing very fast. How to fasten Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs step. I need to load 15 million records daily as part of delta. any suggestions.

Thanks for your suggestions its were useful, with
these i can resolve my problem.
!!! Best Regards !!!

I used the se37 to test bapis, is more easy and fast !!
and you can save data like variant, and you can simulate the real execution without write any code abap,
and re-process the times that you need,
when you know what fields you need you write your abap code faster.

Performance - Conversion of characteristic values to SID

Greetings:
Yesterday I load 556.000 record into an infocube.
No transformations of any kind. Direct assign for every infoobject. Very simple
It lasted 1 h 30m to complete the loading.
It started loading 7 datapackage of 50.000 records each.
I realized that 3 of those datapackage (#2, #4 and #7) lasted from 41:47min to 41:59min in the "Conversion of characteristic values to SID" task. The other 5 lasted ... seconds.
Any idea of that could be going on during this conversion?
I don't understant why some datapackages last so long and other don't.
Does anybody has any idea about this?
Thanks in regards.
Guillermo

Hi Daniel,
The SID generation is based upon the Dimension Table and Master data.
If you see the dimension table can be build with different types like:
one to many
many to one
many to many
one to one
So, if the dimension's for that datapacket data is many to many then it has to get all the relations and then it has to assign an SID.
If it is one to one then there will be no more work to be done by the system to assign the SID's
Hope you understood the back-end process.
With Regards,
Ravi Kanth.

Slow dataload into Infocube- Conversion of Characteristic values to SIDs

Hi All,
we are facing a slow delta load issue when loading from a DSO into an InfoCube ( approx 150,000 recs).
After checking the monitor found that
- The Conversion of Characteristic values to SIDs is taking time
- The Start Routine time is real quick ( in secs)
The underlying DSO is hugh and there is no SIDs Generation upon Activation flag set for it
Master data is loaded first and than we are loading the transaction data.
i've tried refreshing the stats of the Cube, Reduce the size of the data package,
Deletion of Indexes than Loading and recreation of Indexes, no joy at all.
Any comments and recommendations are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Natalie

Hi Natalie,
The problem for your slow delta load from DSO to cube is because the SIDs Generation upon Activation flag is unchecked at DSO level .
Becasue of which your activation is faster but your loading from DSO to cube will be slower as you only mentioned that SIDs are being generated .
One recommendation will be to switch on the property of the DSO SIDs Generation upon Activation flag .
Are there any secondary indexes also in DSO ?
You can try deleting them also during loading the data from DSO to cube .
I guess your change log table is also huge in this case . If possible we can think of deleting the log table also . Then for the new records let it get filled .
Hope the above reply was helpful.

Ashutosh Singh .

BI-IP: Change of characteristic value in ABAP EXIT planning function

Hi
I have created a planning function of the type EXIT with reference data without blocks. In method IF_RSPLFA_SRVTYPE_IMP_EXEC_REF~EXECUTE I am going to implement my code.
Now, one of the purposes is to update the VALIDTO of an existing record. Is it possible to modify the characteristic values directly in C_TH_DATA (thus allowing me to just update the date directly on the record) or can I only append records?
Cheers!
/Karsten

Hi Larse,
Yes you can change directly your value in a record withou appending a new one,but still it will create 2 records in the delta buffer ready to be save to the cube.

Eitan.

BI-IP change characteristic value in FOX

Hello Guys,
i want to change the characteristic value in FOX.
Therefore the FOX runs through all char combinations to identify the highest
number for the char test.
This step works fine, but i cant write the value for maxloop in the cube.
If i try, only the old row is deleted, but i dont get a new row with the calculated value for maxloop.
the code looks like this:
DATA LOOP TYPE test.
DATA MINLOOP TYPE test.
DATA MAXLOOP TYPE test.
MINLOOP = 00000.
MAXLOOP = 00000.
FOREACH LOOP.
MINLOOP = LOOP.
IF MINLOOP > MAXLOOP.
MAXLOOP = MINLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDFOR.
MAXLOOP = MAXLOOP + 00001.
{Amount, EUR, #, #, 00200, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #} =
{Amount, EUR, #, #, maxloop, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #}.
Any suggestions what is wrong here?
Regards
T. Mekler

Hi,
You have written
{Amount, EUR, #, #, 00200, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #} =
{Amount, EUR, #, #, maxloop, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #}.
But as per the statement MAXLOOP = MAXLOOP + 00001 the MAXLOOP conatins a new figure. Obviously there will not be any record in the cube for this value of MAXLOOP.
You are assigning this to the record with MAXLOOP = 00200, so system is assigning zero to 0AMOUNT for the record that is having MAXLOOP=00200 value.
Make the below corrections and test again:
DATA NEWLOOP type test.
NEWLOOP = MAXLOOP + 00001.
{Amount, EUR, #, #, NEWLOOP, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #} =
{Amount, EUR, #, #, MAXLOOP, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #}.
