Debugging: start routine in transfer rules

Hi !
can you please tell me how to debug start routines and field routines in transfer rules?
If possible please tell me too debugging of update rules.

Hi Rajib,
Go to the monitor -> Details tab -> Processing -> Choose the datapackage you want to debug -> Right click -> Simulate update -> Choose eather activate debugging in transfer rules (to debug in transfer rules) or debugging in update rules(for start routine and update rules).
You can mention the number records you want to debug also, if you have an idea of which records you want to debug you can give the number of that record.
Once the debug screen comes up, press F8...the control stops at first break point...from there you can do a step by step debugging (F5).
Hope this helps...

Kalyan

How to find the existing START ROUTINEs in Transfer Rules in whole system ?

Hi all,
   How to find the existing Start Routines in Transfer Rules in BW System, please ?
   I know that we could find from the Transfer Rules.
   Is there any way to find instead of looking at Transfer Rules for <b>each</b> InfoSource?
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Venkat
You can find it in these tables

Help on Start Routine at Transfer Rule.

Hi guys,
We r extracting data from generic extractor into BW.My target is to fill Attributes of 0Customer(Infoprovider) Infoobject.
We have added two navigational attributes to it CLASS A and CLASS B.
Data coming from R/3 has three fields Customer,Class,n field called as ATWRT.
For each customer there are two records .
For Ex
Customer                         Class                          ATWRT
001                                   A                                 FOOD
001                                   B                                 Supermarket
002                                   A                                 Chain
003                                   B                                  Magnum
In the target customer is key
Now the TASK is that in the target the definition for class A which is present in ATWRT should go to navigational attribute ClassA
n Defination for B should go in NAV Attribute CLASS B . that means there should be single record in the target comprising both value in NAV attribute.
For Ex
Customer                Class A                             Class B
001                         FOOD                                Supermarket
002                         Chain                                  Magnum
i want to write program in start routine of transfer rules. If u can suggest any other method also it will good to me to sort this issue. Suggestions are expected.
Points will be awarded for the write suggestion.
Pls help me out.

Dennis,
Thank you so much for the quick response.
I think it is working. I only have one concern!!!!.
I feel like during the testing I found something weird that eventhough there are only 8 records in the psa and four records only have the value ('status') that we need from customer master data-field1, it is still picking the 5th record, not sure why. I see that once it is written in to the data target then the value is showing it as 'status' and in psa it is different.
So I wonder if it is converting that field in the routine based on our constant! Please let me know your input.
p.s data target does not have the field1 available. So just like you corrected my code it has to bring it from customer master data and join customer to with the customer-field1 =' status', then pick else delete other records.
Regards,
Su

Debugging of Routines in transfer rules

Hi All,
I wrote a routine and trying to debug.I tried to debug using "Simulate update" option when we right click in the monitor screen.I don't know how to proceed from there.Could some one explains the steps to debug the routine in transfer rules?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Manish

Hello Manish,
You can create a Watch point if you are looking for some InfoObject / table field values.
Or you can keep pressing F5 for step by step debugging (takes long time) and double click the field when you see them.
If you want to go by block by block instead of line you can use F6 and F7 and if you want to execute you can F8 as what we do for execution.
If you are sure where you want to check then set a break point by double click or select the line and click the Break Point Icon in the top and press F8, the system will automatically stops at the break point then double click the field you need and check the value in the right side window.
If you are using BW3.x the you can switch between New Debug mode (Multiple screen and will be difficult to use if you are new) and Classical Debug Mode (easy to use)
Hope it helps
Thanks

How to debug start routines of update rules from ODS to InfoCube

Dear gurus,
I have an update rule from ODS to InfoCube. I wrote a start routine in the update rule. Now I want to debug it. I went to monitor and simulate update the data package and only got the prompt "No data exists in the corresponding PSA table". So how can I debug this start routine?
Thanks in advance.
Jin Ming

Jin,
In order to use PSA between ODS and InfoCube, you may have to use an exclusive InfoPackage and load separately. In that InfoPackage, choose the radio button to use a PSA.
I think you are currently updating the InfoCube directly without using a separate InfoPackage.
Look for an InfoSource under DataMarts (search for 8<ODS Technical name>) and create your InfoPackage there.
Good luck.

Start Routine for transfer rules

Hello experts,
I want to use the SQL DISTINCT keyword to return non-duplicate results from a table in a DataSource (data base) in a the start routine for the transfer rules.
How do I address that table in the start routine of the TR?
I thought about something like that.
TABLES: mytable
DATA: itab_mytable type table of mytable
SELECT DISTINCT CUSTID, etc.
FROM mytable into table i_tab.
I am new to ABAP so I would be happy to get some suggestions!
thanx in advance
Axel

Hello Oscar,
as fa as I understood the entire data package in the transfer structure format is used as parameter (DATAPAK) for the routine.
so I want to perform a SQL statement on DATAPAK!
But it sais it can't find DATAPAK in ABAP-Dictionary as a table!
can I actually perform SQL statements on DATAPAK?
Thanx
Axel

Start routine in Transfer Rules for Data Mart update

Hi,
Is it possible to create a start routine in a transfer rule of a Datamart update (from ODS to Cube)?
Thxs.
LauQ

Roberto,
If I read well the content of note 499404 - referred to in 630854 - I conclude that it is recommended to use update rules rather than transfer rules in the case of ODS objects when one wishes to modify data records up to the eventual data target.
Do you agree?

Start Routine in Transfer Rules

Hi all ,
I am trying to write a start routine in the Transfer rules ....I just want to know which is package that i have to loop to get mt records ....
id it LOOP at DATAPAK ....
My records ...
ENDLOOP
This is where i need to put the logic or else where ..please let me know

hi,
check if sample code helps
DATA: l_s_datapak_line type TRANSFER_STRUCTURE,
l_s_errorlog TYPE rssm_s_errorlog_int.
tables : table1.
data : l_field1 liek table1-field1,
l_tabix like sy-tabix.
loop at datapak into l_s_datapak_line.
l_tabix = sy-tabix.
fill field1 with data
select single field1 into l_field1
from table1 where fieldintable1 = l_s_datapak_line-[fieldname]
if sy-subrc = 0.
l_s_datapak_line-field1 = l_field1.
modify datapak from l_s_datapak_line index l_tabix.
endif.

Enhancing 0MATERIAL_ATTR?Writing Start routine in Transfr rules in BW side?

Hi All,
I got a requirement of enhancing the 0MATERIAL_ATTR extract structure with 10 fields.
The logic is written in R3 extraction User exit ZXRSAU02 for populating the data from MARA table.
In the BW side also, the corresponding objects created & mapped in Communication & Transfer structure, the update rules also activated for 0MATERIAL_ATTR.
Details:
The DS is: 0MATERIAL_ATTR
ES is: BIW_MARA_S
Table is: MARA
Enhanced fields in ES are: like ZR, ZR1, ZR2 to ZR9.
BW Objects created are: like ZB, ZB1, ZB2 to ZB9.
I need help in writing start routine in transfer rules:
The below logic needs to be included in the start routine -
--->" If the following fields in extractor are all blank then populate them all with the value in ZR, ZR1, ZR2 to ZR9.
---> If the above are not all blank then don't modify. These will update as per the Transfer rules."
Please help in writing the code for the Logic mentioned above.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
as suggested you can do this in ZXRSAU02 or in the start routine
In the start routine
data wa_datapak type TRANSFER_STRUCTURE .
data l_tabix like sy-tabix.
loop at datapak into wa_datapak .
l_tabix = sy-tabix .
if wa_datapak-zr is initial or wa_datapak-zr1 is initial -
wa_datapak-zr9 is initial .
clear : wa_datapak-zr. -- clear : wa_datapak-zr9 .
modify datapack from wa_datapack index l_tabix.
endloop.
hope this helps

Start routine and update rules

Hi,
What is accessed first:-
Start Routines or Update Rules?
What is the use of global variables in start routine?
Please reply.
Thanks.

Hi......
You have different types of Routines in BW .
1) Start Routine in Transfer Rules
2) Transfer Routine in Transfer Rules.
3)Start Routine in Update Rules
4)Update Routine in Update Rules.
The routines that you write in transfer rules are applicable to all the Data targets that get the data from that particular Infosource, when you are going to write some code in Transfer rules, you have to understand that you are going to manupilate the data that is going to get into BW .
If you are going to write in Update Rules , then that logic is going to apply only for that particular Data target .
Eg : Let suppose I have a Flat file that gets data from 3 countries, US, Canada and Mexico.
Now I have prepared the data source for the same . But I dont want to have the data of Mexico in to BW itself.
So I will write a Start routine at TR to eliminate the data of Mexico.
My Next step is I want the data of US into one ODS and Canada data in to another ODS.
For this I handle the dataflow at Start routine in Update rules, to eliminate Canada data for US ODS and Vice Versa.
Global variables in Start routine
You can have global variables, internal tables populated by the
startup routine. This data will be available to the field
routines. Create yourself a start routine, declare some
variables in the global section, and then create a field
routine. You will be able to use the globally declared objects
in the field routine

Is difference between update routine,start routine and transfer routine

Hi All,
What is difference between transfer routine and update routine.

Hi Venkat,
Routine is a set of ABAP code which is used to select a record or transform the field value at the time of loading the data.
Types of routines:
Tranfer Routines in Transfer Rules:
Start Routines in Transfer Rules:
Update Routines in Update Rules:
Start Routines in Update Rules:
Transfer/Update routine:
It's the set of ABAP code used in Transfer/Update rules. Transfer/Update routine is used to change the value of a particular field/object at the time of loading data.
Ex: Populate the amount/discount field by using Price and Quantity based on the given conditions.
Start Routine:
Start routine can be used in both Transfer Rules and Update Rules. Start routine is used to determine whether to load a particular record or not.
Ex: From the data related to the year 2005, we can select only the records which belong to a particular month or fiscal period.
Ultimately Transfer/Update routines are to update the value of a particular field. Start routines are used to select entire record.

Debug Start routine in BW 3.5

Hi,
I have start routine at Update rules and I have observed that some of the quantity and amount key figures are not calculating properly. It is complex start routine. Can you please let me know the steps to debug the start routine for every record? Example what are the values it is picking up and how the values are getting calculated.
Please let me know the steps.
Thanks,
Ganga

Hi,
Just simulate it. Load the data through the PSA, then go into the monitor and select your request. Choose the "Details" tab. Open up the Transfer section and right-click on a data package and choose Simulate Update. In the pop-up, click on Activate Debugging in Update Rules and then Perform Simulation.
You can then step through the code.

Urgent: ABAP routine in transfer rules

Hi,
when i am loading master data from R/3 into BW, i need to filter some records based on material type. there is no option in RSA6 (on R/3) or in Infopackage (BW) to make it available for filter.
So i assume i need to write ABAP routine in transfer rules. can some one help me with ABAP. i need to load the records only when MTART field(material type) in MARA is "FINI" or "RAW" and skip other records.
what is difference between deleting the whole data packet and deleting the record.
Thank you very much in advance
Regards
Emil

Hi
Write the below code in the start routine of your transfer rules.

DATA: S_DATA, T_DATA TYPE TRANSFER_STRUCTURE.
LOOP AT DATAPAK INTO S_DATA.
IF S_DATA-MTART EQ 'A' OR S_DATA-MTART EQ 'B'.
MOVE S_DATA TO T_DATA.
DELETE S_DATA.

If you write routine in transfer rules what will happen

If you write routine in transfer rules what will happen?

Hi,
If we write routines in Transfer Rules:
If it is Start Routine: Record Level Transformation
If it is at Rules: Field Level Transformation
In both case, the transformations are activated before the data entering into BW.
Hope this Information helps u..........

Routine in transfer rules

I am using the datasrource 0MM_PUR_VE_01,if the score for Evaluation
Criteria or the score for subcriterion is Zero then this datasource is
not picking those particular records
Vendor    Eval.Crite      Subcriterion score   Score for Subcrit Eval. Crit
1              Price01           Price Level 01               87
                Quality02        Line/Stock 02               87
                                      Vendor Audit 03             0
                                      Delivery03 On-Time
                Delivery01                                           87
                                      Quantity Reliability02      0
                                      Shipping Instructions03
can be checked with t-code me61
If the score of the Evaluation criteria or score of subcriterion is 0 the datasource 0MM_PUR_VE_01 is not picking that particular record
in the above example Datarsc not picking the records of subcriterion Vendor Audit 03, Quantity Reliability02,
actually this data is coming from table ELBP so whenever the score is zero even tha table is not storing that particular record
I will have 5 evaluation criterion like Price,Quality,Delivery,Service,Service & the subcriterions for these also are fixed
so i BW transfer rules I have to write a code in such a way that if the particular record is missing then it shouls treat it as score 0
Ex:-\
Eval criter          Score
Price                  10
Quality                20
Delivery               0
Service                10
Service                 20
Now my table wont store the record Delivery as the score is 0
As my evaluation criteria ar e fixed in the update rules I need thelogic that if particular record is missing then it should show it as 0
If my requiremnt is not clear pls let me knoe
as this has to be solved very urgently
Thanks
