Data (Master Data Changes and Transaction Data) from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1

Hi guys
I have seen posts on this forum describing data transfers from SAP R/3 to SAP BPC. I assume the procedure for data transfers from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1 should be the same i.e. using SSIS packages.
However I have some unique requirements -
1. DATA AT DIFFERENT AGGREGATED LEVELS - I need data from SAP BW at different levels - Some data comes at Product level while other at Customer level and some at Project Level. The current procedure takes BW queries output in excel sheets (6 files) and then use the data manager package to load the data in SAP BPC 5.1 using appropriate transformation and conversion files. This procedure is highly manual and I am looking at using SSIS package to do this. However, because of having data at different levels, it becomes a little tricky. How can we achieve this using SSIS?
2. UPDATING MASTER DATA - I need to update the master data (dimension members) in SAP BPC 5.1 at the start of every month. The current procedure compares (in MS ACCESS) the data from the queries mentioned in 1 to the dimension members in SAP BPC 5.1 and spits a file with the new entries which needs to be manually updated in the appropriate dimensions using Admin Console. I am looking at automating this task. I cannot just replace all the contents of a dimension with the members coming from SAP BW since the dimension members contains some dummy members which are used for planning.
3. HIERARCHY CHANGES - What is the best way to capture the hierarchy changes in SAP BW into SAP BPC 5.1?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi Ameya,
how did you solve the described problems? Can you give some hints about uploading master data and updating the hierarchy?

Loading GL Master Data -- Attributes, Text, Hier ; and Transaction Data

Hi all,
Could any one give me the steps individually to load the following type of data in BI 7.0:
1. Master Data with Attributes
2. Master Data with Text
3. Master Data with Hierarchy
4. Transaction Data
Do I have to create the Transformation and DTP's individually to load all the above kind of Data?
Please give me the information as much as you can.
Thanks,

For master data when you create tranformation it will prompt infoobject to act as infoprovider, and then you create DTP to schedule data to it. It works fine with attribute and Texts, though hierarchy dosn;t support much features of 2004s at my side. Like i am not able to migrate Hierarchy datasource to 2004s, and even when i replicate it, it comes as 3.5 datasource only.
For transaction data follow Gokuls step, or try to find on forums you will get lot of discussion on it.

Extractor 0HR_PA_OS_1 as both masterdata and transaction data in same load?

We use the 0HR_PA_OS_1 as an extractor for both masterdata and transaction data. To reduce the loadingtime I would like to know if we can populate both the info.object and the Info cube from the same load. Technical it should be no problem, but the infoobject 0HRPOSITION is masterdata in the Info cube using the same extractor, and masterdata should alsways be loaded before transaction data.
Any advice?
Tom

We have daily load process chains to load HR data. And we have following sequence
Attribute Data Load -> Text Data Load -> Attribute change Run -> Transaction Data Load.
0HR_PA_OS_1 (for 0HRPOSITION) gets loaded in attribute load local PC, and in Transaction Data Load PC we have DTP that loads from PSA to cube 0PAOS_C01.
Yes, masterdata should always be loaded before transaction data, this is because of SIDs generation and also if u r using 'Read master Data' in any of transactional transformation mapping, then this 'Read master Data' should happen after master data (0HRPOSITION) is active (after Attribute change Run).

Diff B/W master data and transaction data

Hi all,
What is the main Diff B/W master data and transaction data. give me some example ?
Thanks in Advance
Krish...

hi krish,
MASTER Data is the data that exists in the organization like employee details, material master, customer master, vendor master etc. These are generally created once.
Master data are distributed throughout the company, they are often not standardised and often redundant. As a result it is very costly to offer efficient customer service, keep track of supply chains and make strategic decisions. With SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) these important business data from across the company can be brought together, harmonised and made accessible to all staff and business partners. As a key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity via all IT systems.
Regardless of the industry, companies often work with different ERP and Legacy systems. The result: the business processes are based on information about customers, partners and products which is displayed in different ways in the systems. If the data are recorded manually, there are more inconsistencies: some data sets are entered several times, others cannot be retrieved by all divisions of the company.
As corporate applications are becoming increasingly complex and produce ever greater amounts of data, the problem is intensified further. Nevertheless, your employees must work with the inconsistent data and make decisions on this basis. The lack of standardised master data easily leads to wrong decisions, which restrict efficiency and threaten customer satisfaction and profitability.
In a word: in order to save costs and ensure your companys success it is necessary to consolidate master data about customers, partners and products, make them available to all employees beyond system boundaries and use attributes valid company-wide for the purpose of description.
TRASNACTION Data - These are the business documents that you create using the master data - Purchase orders, sales orders etc

Master Data and Transaction Data For DB Connect extracted Data...

Dear Experts,
I have been working on SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3 and for the first time I have extracted data from Oracle DBMS by using DB Connect. I have successfully extracted data of a View namely Sales_View into BW by creating a DataSource. This View has about 100 fields and I have been told that this view consists of Master Data and Transaction Data too. For my further reporting needs say building a Dashboard or InfoSpace I have to design a DSO and InfoCube for this DataSource. I'm bit confused about the Master Data and Transaction Data of this DataSource.
1. Should I create all custom InfoObject against all fields of DataSource for DSO and InfoCube design?
2. Do I need to create and load the Master Data for all InfoObjects or I need to create or load the Master Data for only those InfoOjects which will be
used for drill down or reporting in Dashboard or InfoSpace?
3. Do I need to load the Master Data manually by creating Flat Files and using these files for Master Data loading for required objects?
4. How should I approach the designing of DSO and InfoCube?
I will appreciate your inputs in this matter.
Many thanks!
Tariq Ashraf

Thanks!

What is wrong?
Please help me.I need Data to make a demo planning
thanks

Hi,
There is a set of objects in business content (check under SAP DEMO in business content). You can activate some or all of these demo objects (for example demo cubes).
There are programs which you can then execute to create the datafiles which can then be loaded to these demo cubes.
" Start report RSO_BC_FILES_IN_BDS (Transaction SE 38), specify the required (Demo) InfoObject/InfoCube and choose the "Start BDN" button. The system will display all (generally one) CSV files which were supplied with the InfoObject/InfoCube. You can either export this CSV file into a local directory or you can write it directly onto the application server. For loading, proceed as described under section 1. " --- from OSS note 370397

Transfering Master and Transaction data to active and non active versions

Hi Gurus,
I am planning to transfer ECC master and transaction data to APO active and simulation versions.My question is
1. Is it possible to release Master and transaction data to active and non active versions ?
2. How i need to config if i want to release Master and Transaction data in version 001?
Please let me know .
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
1) Once you create active integration models for master data and
transactional data, the data will get updated in active version 000
2) For creation of non active version use transaction
/SAPAPO/MVM
3) For copying of data from active to non active version, use
transaction /SAPAPO/VERCOP

Difference between master data and transactional data

Hi experts i have just started learning BW can u plz let me know the difference between Master data and Transactional data in bw ? and why is master data is first loaded before the transactional data ? thanks .....

Hi
Transaction data represents any transaction occured between two parties like Customer and Vendor.
We maintain id's to maintain the Customer and Vendor.
When we look at the id we don't have a clue like who is the customer, where does he live,,....
So all this info is maintained in Master data in three categories:
1. Attributes
2. Text
3. Hierarchies.
Collection of Attribute, Texts and Hierarchies is called master Data in BI/BW.
Eg: 0MATERIAL, 0CUSTOMER,,,,,
Master data: is data that remains unchanged over a long period of time. Master data contains information that is always needed in the same way. Characteristics can bear master data in BW. With master data you are dealing with attributes, texts or hierarchies.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/58/a4513ce4af0a40e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Master Data is one form of the historical data. There is no frequent changes in the data.Every application has it's own Master Data.
In BI the master Data has been divided into
Characterstics
Texts
Hierarchies
We can load Master Data through different ways.
Pls. find the below link

Difference between master and transaction data

whts the difference and relaionship between master data and transaction data?why do we need to upload or extract both type of data's?cant we have only transaction data?please clarify

Hi ,
Master Data :
The data which do not change frequently and that is needed generally for many reporting .
Eg : Customer Name , Customer Address Etcc..
Transaction Data :
This the data that is derived based on some master data
Eg : Creating a sales order for a Customer . So the transaction data will be
 Customer Number , Order Quantity .
Why we keep master data as seperate in BW ?
Because master data is general , So we have to use that master data in many cubes for reporting purpose . Because for any report on Customer we need to give cutomer name , So we keep that master data outside of cube so that any cubes that need to use customer master can take that , So we can concentrate on other dimensions for cube ,Other wise we need to include customer name in all cubes which is reppetitive .
So the best method is to ....
First Load master Data
Then load Transactio data .
In the Bex part we combine the master data with transaction data so that we get combined data .
Eg :
Master Data : Customer No , Cust Name , Cust Address
Tran Data : Customer No , SD No , Order Qty .
We first load the master data into master data tables /BI0/M*
Then we load tarnsaction data into Cubes .
Then in BEX Reporting we create query for Transaction Cube , But fetch some master data using Bex feature , So the report output will be
Cust No CustName CustomerAddress SD no Order Quantity
Hope this Solves your Problem

What is master and transaction data

can any one explain me in detail about the Master data and Transaction data.

Transaction data is data related to a single business event such as a purchase requisition. For example, when you create a requisition, SAP creates an electronic document for that particular transaction. SAP gives the transaction a document number and adds the document to the transaction data that is already in the system.
Master data is a collection of information about a person or an object, e.g. vendor or G/L account. For example, a vendor master record contains not only general information but also purchase order related information. Master data can only be entered and changed by authorized users.

I created an application and in that application if date is changed the application starts from splash screen on re-entering and if date is not changed and u re-enters the application then it open in page where u leaved.It works fine in our side (Timezone,kolkata ,india even for Timezone,slvaniya,USA) but our USA client is telling that on changing the date it not starts from start-up sequence.Can anyone plz suggest the reason for it.

This is the code which we have used.
