Master Data: Transformation and DTP for compounded characteristic

Good day
Please assist, I am not sure what is the correct way.
I extract master data from a db via DB connect.
There are three fields in the db view for extraction. (1) Code (2) Kind and (3) Code Text.
What I have done is the following. I created a datasource with transformation and DTP for master data text for (1) and (3), and then a datasource master data attribute transformation and DTP for (1) and (3).
Is this the correct way to handle extracts of compounded characteristics?
Your assistance ill be appreciated.
Thanks
Cj

Hello,
if the char ' Code' is compounded with 'Kind'.
then for text datasource u shld have 1, 2 and 3. the table for this datasource should have 'code' and 'kind' as keys.
for the attribute datasource u shld have 1 ,2 followed by the reqd attributes of 'Code'.
Reagrds,
Dhanya

Transformation and DTP for upgraded 3.5 objects in BI 7.0

Dear Experts,
When I do a upgrade from bw 3.5 to BI 7.0, How do I create transformation and DTP for the upgraded objects. Do I need to create new transformation and DTP for these objects?.
Thanks,
Varun

If only needed nw2004s data flow(DTP,Transformation..) then migration required else you can stay with old 3.x dataflow.
Follow below links patiently it has wealth of information embedded.
For nw2004s data flow
Pre-requisite - 3.x datasource to be replicated as 7.0
and migrate datasource with "export datasource option" so that you can later revert back to OLD if needed.
nw2004s Concepts
new NW2004s Data flow
R/3---->PSA only (using Infopackage) for all the Loads -Mandatory
PSA -
>ODS/Cube -->load using DTP ,create transformation first
no Datamart architecture in NW2004s
so ODS -
>Cube load using DTP ,creating transformation first
Once loaded to PSA in DTP you have the option of FULL or DELTA ,full loads all the data from PSA and DELTA loads only the last load of PSA.

Master data maintenance and attributes for GTIN/EAN

A review of the SAP documentation indicates that "You can use the consistency report to change the attributes (for example, quantity, length, height, and so on) of certain materials". The "and so on" seems to imply that the attributes can be user defined. If this correct, where is this data kept? Or do the attributes only include the fields from the Basic data 1 Dimensions/EAN data and Plant Data storage General data?
I would expect we can use LSWM to mass update the GTIN for our existing material numbers. However, for new material master creation is there a function module that would be able to pull the next available GTIN number from the internal number range? Please note that we use LSWM to create all our material numbers. We would like to have the LSWM insert the next available GTIN number.
Thank you for your response
Brian

Hi
I had tried all sorts - attribute change run and manually activating the master data. Still doesnt work.

Error loading master data attr and text for 0material

Hi gurus,
I am new to BI, I am getting an error RSDMD- 194 when i am loading 0MATERIAL_ATTR and TEXT.
It is showing for nearly 100 records in the error stack.
Can anyone explain some basics,
1) why do we need to add 0MATERIAL to a particular Info area to start loading its ATTR and TEXT
2) Are the info objects that appear in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL the same as the fields of 0MATERIAL_ATTR datasource, basically what i don't understand is are we mapping the 0MATERIAL_ATTR datsource fields to the info objects appearing in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL info object.
3) Also when i added 0MATERIAL to my Info Area , there were some extra info objects that got in, are there any dependent objects that get added ?

Hi,
"Error RSDMD- 194 when i am loading 0MATERIAL_ATTR and TEXT.RSDMD- 194"
Please check if there is any external characterstic in those 100 records, correct it and load again.
1) why do we need to add 0MATERIAL to a particular Info area to start loading its ATTR and TEXT
It does,t matter where the 0Material is. Info area in kind of Folder to easily locate and put the all the related objects at one place.
2) Are the info objects that appear in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL the same as the fields of 0MATERIAL_ATTR datasource, basically what i don't understand is are we mapping the 0MATERIAL_ATTR datsource fields to the info objects appearing in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL info object.
If it is a business content infosource, it will automatically map the attribute to data source field. If you are modifying or creating your own object, you should map it manually based on field name and description.
3) Also when i added 0MATERIAL to my Info Area , there were some extra info objects that got in, are there any dependent objects that get added ?
If you will move any objects all the compounded objects will also come to the info area.

Kams

Using Master Data attribute and compounded IO in Transformation

Good day
I have the following issue in a transformation.
I want to u201CRead Master Datau201D from IO u2018ZSIDCONTRu2019 to display data for an attribute u201CContract Durationu201D (Key Figure).
IO u2018ZSIDVEHCNu2019 is also compounded to master data IO u2018ZSIDCONTRu2019.
The Source field of Rule = field u201CID_CONTACTu201D
In my transformation my Rule Type = Read Master Data and the u201CFrom Attrib. ofu201D field = ZSIDCONTR and the IO Assignment is also = u2018ZSIDCONTRu2019.
If I test this rule then the following error message is displayed:
Characteristic ZSIDVEHCN compounded to ZSIDCONTR is missing in
transformation source
How do I add the compounded characteristic ZSIDVEHCN to the transformation rule?
Thanks in advance.
Cj

Hi,
You should add the InfoObject ZSIDVEHCN to your target and define a mapping rule to fill it up from your datasource.
Only when both objects are available in your mapping you will be able to perform a master data selection (since they are compounded).
If this object is not available in your source, you should define a mapping rule to fill it up (constant? ...)
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Michel Hoefkens

How do I "Init without data transfer' using 7.0 transformations and DTP's?

I have a data-mart situation where I have a standard DSO object that sends deltas up to a standard cube. This data flow is created with 7.0 transformation and a delta type DTP and has been running fine.
I now have a new single activated request loaded to the DSO object but I DO NOT want this request to delta update to the cube. In 3.x, I used to go into the init infopackage, manually delete the initialization pointer, and run a 'Initialize Without Data Transfer' to make this work. Deltas could then continue as before.
I do not see a way to do this using 7.0 transformations and DTP's. I want to reset the init from DSO to cube so this request does not get updated. Does anyone have step by step ideas on how this can be accomplished?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

Hi,
delete the data in the cube by using oprtion selective deletion based on request number.
(if delta request is deleted from cube, with next load last delta records will also come)
in this scenario there is no need to delete initiaizations option.
in BI 7.0, initialization load is not there.
see below documentation on DTP in SAP help.
"On the Extraction tab page, specify the parameters:
a. Choose Extraction Mode.
You can choose Delta or Full mode.
In contrast to a delta transfer with an InfoPackage, an explicit initialization of the delta process is not necessary for the delta transfer with a DTP. When the data transfer process is executed in delta mode for the first time, all existing requests are retrieved from the source and the delta status is initialized. "

Thanks so much everyone for your suggestions. Iu2019ve tried them all and hereu2019s what I now have:
Anil u2013 Active datasources were included in the original transport. I tried retransporting and got the same error messages.
Voodi u2013 0ACCOUNT_TEXT was resident in the Q system as a 3x datasource. I replicated it as a 70 datasource in D and this is what was transported to Q. It is a 7.0 datasource in Q. I got the same error messages when I tried transporting just the transformations.
Jayaram - 0ACCOUNT is active in the Q system and is currently being used in transformations other than the one Iu2019m trying to import.
Godhuli u2013 I not only re-replicated the datasource in D, I reactivated the transformations and DTPs and resaved the InfoPackages. I tried retransporting with a new transport request and it failed with the same error messages.
Is there anything else anyone can think of?
Thanks,

Hello,
Do you have any routines in the transformation you are trying to transport. Looks like its missing some routines that needs to be transported.
Hope that helps.

TRANSFORMATION AND DTP

Hi all,
I have two questions:
1. If I have a 3x datasource..can i still use Transformations and DTP's with it in BI 7.0?
2. I have a cube and know the datasources. Could some one give me the modelling steps that come next... i am using BI 7.0 and want to use Transformations and DTP.
Thanks

1. If I have a 3x datasource..can i still use Transformations and DTP's with it in BI 7.0?
Yes - you can.
2. I have a cube and know the datasources. Could some one give me the modelling steps that come next... i am using BI 7.0 and want to use Transformations and DTP.
data loading in BI 7.0 from fla file extraction.
fisrt create one Cube or DSO with the same structure which you have in flatfile..
and activate it..
->now comes to Datasource tab> create one Datasource here you need to select type of data for example.. select Transactional data --> and menntion your flatfile name in extraction tab- and file type and eneter your info object names in FIELDS tab --> and load preview data Activate it..
now select your datasource and create info package and schedule it.. now your data will loded in to PSA level...
> and now comes to info provider select your cube.. and right clcik it.. and create transformations.,. and activate it..
> and create DTP -- Activate it.. and Execute it..
1)Create datasource. Here u can set/check the Soucre System fields.
2)Create Transformation for that datasource. (no more update rules/transfer rules)
2.1) While creating transformation for DS it will ask you for data target name, so just assign where u want to update ur data.
DataSource -> Transformation -> (DTP)-->Data Target
Now if you want to load data into data target from Source System Datasource:
1) Create infopackage for that data source. If you are creating infopackage for new datasources, it will only allow you update upto PSA, all other options u can see as disabled.
2)Now Create DTP (Data Transfer Process) for that data source.
3) NOw schdule the Infopackage, once the data is loaded to PSA, you can execute your DTP which will load data to data target.
Data Transfer Process (DTP) is now used to load data using the dataflow created by the Transformation. Here's how the DTP data load works:
1) Load InfoPackage
2) Data gets loaded into PSA (hence why PSA only is selected)
3) DTP gets "executed"
4) Data gets loaded from PSA into the data target once the DTP has executed
Hope it helps..

Reporting on Master Data From and To

Hello Experts,
We are trying to report on the From and To dates of a time dependent infoobject 0FUND. We have turned the infoobject on as a dataprovider but we dont see how you report on the two dates. When we try adding 0DATETO to the attributes tab we get an error saying "attribute cannot be used with time-dependent attribute". Next i tried mapping in a Z infobject but I could not get the object to populate with the Date To data. What is the trick to getting these date fields in a query?
Thanks,
TMS

Hi,
Create Z objects for both dates. Create a Z object for master data objects "Fund".
Add these two Z objects as attributes in master data Z object.
Create as infoset with Orignal master data object and Z master data object.
Use Infoset to create report.
I hope it will work.
Thanks,
S

Master Data Services Add-in for Excel Issue

I am trying to configure MDS in the Production server. I am running into isssues.
(I was able to do the whole process successfuly in my local system - Versions are same in the local and server - Only difference is local machine is windows 7 server is Windows 2008 R2)
I have installed SQL server 2012 Enterprise Version SP1. I am able to browse the MDS URL. User has got full permissions. When I try to access the MDS via Excel I get the below error.
Can any one help me please I have spent days on this withou any joy.
Error message
TITLE: Master Data Services Add-in for Excel
An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to
http://MYIPADDRESS/mds/service/service.svc/bhb. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See

I have finally found a solution for this problem! Every time I opened Excel (unless I ran as administrator) I would have to activate the MDS add-in; this was time-consuming and annoying. It seems like there was no solution posted online anywhere! Well
after much aggravation, I have finally found a solution:
Fixing the Microsoft MDS Excel Add-In so it Stays Enabled
Press the Start button (Windows button)
In the search bar type “REGEDIT”
Open regedit.exe
A pop-up will ask permission for the Registry Editor to make changes to the computer, select Yes.
In the Registry Editor expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, expand in the following order: Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> Excel -> Addins
Select Microsoft.MasterDataServices.ExcelAddIn
Double-click on LoadBehavior in the right panel
In the Edit Value popup, change the value to
Press OK
Exit the Registry Editor
The excel add-in should now be active anytime you open Excel. If multiple errors occur while using the add-in, the Load Behavior may change back to 0. If that occurs simply follow these steps so the add-in will be active when Excel starts up.
I hope this helps some of you avoid the long hours of trying to find a solution to this silly problem.
Cheers!

Reporting on master data customer and bad performances : any workaround ?

Hello,
I've been asked to investiguate on bad performances encountered when performing reporting
on the specific master data zcustomer.
Basically this master data has a quite similar design that 0customer, there are 96000 entries in the master data table.
A simple query has been developed : the reporting is done on the master data zcustomer and its attributes : no key figure, no calculation, no restriction ...
Nevertheless, the query can not be executed .. the query runs around 10 minute in rsrt, then the private memory is exhausted and then a short dump is generated.
I tried to buid a very simple query on 0customer, this time, without the attributes ... and it took more than 30 sec before I get the results.
I checked the queries statistics :
3.x Analyzer Server 10 sec
OLAP: Read Texts : 20 sec
How is it that it is so long to performthe reporitng on those master data, while in the same time If i try to display the content in SAP by choosing "maintain master data", I have an immediate answer.
I there any workaround ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
thank you.
Raoul

Hi.
How much data have you got in the cube?
If you make no restrictions, you are asking the system to return data for all 96.000 customers. That is one thing that might take some time.
Also, using the attributes of this customer object, fx making selection or displaying several of them, means that the system has to run through the 96.000 records in masterdata to know what goes where in the report.
When you display the masterdata, you are by default displaying just the 250 or so first hits, and you are not joining against any cube or sorting the result set, so that is fast.
You should make some kind of restriction on other things than zcustomer (time, org.unit, version, etc, to limit the dataset from the cube, but also a restriction on one of the zcustomer attribs, with an index for that maybe, and performance should improve.

How to Activate Transformations and DTP in PRODUCTION

Hi Experts,
I Have done some modifications in datasource in R/3 when i treid to run the Infopacakge in BI, I see the Datasource is inactivate.
So I have activated the DS through the program in se38 rsds_datasource_activate_all, after that i see the transformations and DTP is inactivate.
In 3.5 we have program to activate the transfer rules and updates though rsds_transtru_activate_all i dont have idea for update rules program to activate.
*Is there any program to activate the transformations and DTP in Production.Rather than re-transport entire thing.*
Regards.

There is no activation program for Transformations. In order to do that in production, you would have to have the client opened for modification and manually activate the Transformation(s) that are in a deactivated state. This isn't advisable however. The best approach to activate deactivated Transformations is to capture on a transport in the development environment and move that transport throughout the landscape to production.
The SAP delivered ABAP program RSDKDTPREPAIR is available for activating DTPs. There is no selection screen for this program, however, and therefore it would try to activate all DTPs. This program should only be executed in background.
Here are the other activation programs in case you need them or are interested (I realize that you mentioned or more already):
RSDG_CUBE_ACTIVATE (InfoCube)
RSDG_IOBJ_ACTIVATE (InfoObject)
RSDG_MPRO_ACTIVATE (MultiProvider)
RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE (DSO)
RSQ_ISET_MASS_OPERATIONS (InfoSet - Requires client to be opened)
RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL (DataSource)
SAP delivered program RSDS_TRANSTU_ACTIVATE_ALL is for activating Transfer Structures, which aren't relevant for 7.x DataSources.

Master Data Setup Steps & Execution for SNP Aggregated Planning

Hi,
I need some URGENT Help on the Master Data Steps and Execution of SNP Aggregated Planning. I've read the SCM 5.0 help with quite confusing understanding from it as regards to Master Data setup.
I want to run SNP for a Group of Products at a Group of Locations (say Customer Group or Group of Distribution Centers) at an Aggregate Level & then later Disaggregate the Generated Supplies from the Aggregate Level to the detailed Product-Locations level.
I have setup a Location Hierarchy with the Group of Distribution Centers and Product Hierarchy with a Group of Products & since SNP_LOCPROD aggregation is assigned to the 9ASNP02 Planning area ... I created a LOCPROD Hierarchy which use the Location & Product Hierarchy.
The Main intention is to Improve Performance of Planning Runs at a Rough Cut / Aggregate Level by doing a Rough Cut Capacity Check & Split Distribution Center requirements to Multiple Plants producing the same product. This would also help increase the Optimizer Performance.
I am finding there is no place to run SNP Heuristic by Specifiying a Hierarchy in the Selection screen of /sapapo/snp01. So how is Aggregated Planning even run ?
(I know there are Aggregation & Disaggregation Functions available in SNP Interactive Planning ... but what do I put in the Selection as 'Hierarchies' are not available in the Selections in the 9ASNPAGGR Aggregation Planning Book).
Can someone also Provide me Detailed Steps and point me to a Detailed Training document on this ? I could not find anything on the SDN Form as well as BPX Forum as well as on Wiki site from within SDN.
Please if anybody can Guide me Urgently ? I am needing to test this quickly to Demo to someone to demonstrate the APO Capabilities (else the Customer may lose interest in APO as he is comparing functionality with another tool). I don't want this to happen.

Ambrish Mathur

Harish,
Read your Blog with great interest. I think you have very nicely captured the Features over there. It was very helpfull.
I still have some very very basic questions (sorry if I was not clear earlier) and I will try state with an Example.
Are you saying ...
1. If I have 2 Products FG1 & FG2 .. then I need to FIRST
     create another Product Master called FG1_2_GP (say)
     via Trnx. /sapapo/mat1 ?
2. Similarly for the 5 DCs say DC1, DC2 .... DC5 ... I need
    to First Create a Location of type 1002 DC1_5_GP (say)
    via Trnx. /sapapo/loc3 first ?
I think I have not done these at all.
3. Finally are you saying that I need to now Create the
     Hierarchies ... ZCPGPROD (using FG1 & FG2)
     and ZCPGLOC (using DC1, DC2 ... DC5) and
     then create a generated Hierarchy ZCPGLOCPROD
     with Structure SNP_LOCPROD and using the ZCPGPROD
     and ZCPGLOD as Component Hierarchies ?
4. I am still not clear how would you Link Product Group
FG1_2_GP with ZCPGPROD ?? Where do we setup that FG1_2_GP is a Header of FG1 & FG2 ?
5. Similarly where do you Link Location Group DC1_5_GP with the Location Hierarchy ZCPGLOC ?
6. Finally in SNP Interactive Planning with Planning Book 9ASNPAGGR using the Location-Product (Header) as Selection what will I enter in this field ?
I read your Blog. More details on the Example would help ... I saw in your Blog the PH_POWDER product Group (containing PH_FG1,2,3 Products) example which I was not clear whether it was a New Product you created via /sapapo/mat1 or a New Hierarchy Code created via /sapapo/relhshow. Similarly you did create Location Groups PH_DC_AGG but do not seem to have used it. I think you have assigned PH_POWDER group and assigned to Locations 3000, 3100 & 3400 individually via /sapapo/mat1 ... but was not clear on how you linked it to the Location Product Hierarchies. You have also not created a Location Produc Hierarchy at all using PH_POWDER and PH_DC_AGG at all ... or have you ?
7. Is the Untold Trick that the Product Hierarchy Name and the Product Group created in Trnx. MAT1 must be same and the Location Hierarchy Name and the Location Group code created in LOC3 Trnx. should be same ?
8. I had created a Generated Hierarchy at ZCPGLOCPROD ... is this what I enter in 9ASNPAGGR as Selection of Location-Product (Header) ?
9. I want to first understand Standard SNP before I go into the diretion of creating my own Planning areas and Planning Books. Is this really needed for me to Plan 2 Products in these 5 DCs at an Aggregate level. I will be doing Aggregation of all kinds of Demand (STOs, POs, Forecast, SalesOrders, TLB Order Demand) and want the Supply generated at Aggregated Level to Disaggregate to the 2 FGs at the 5 DC Locations based on Proportion of Demand.
I think my question is far more basic wrt the Master Data Setup ... would help if you can clarify each of my questions separately in your reply. The Confusion is due to lack of clarity on the Master Data Setup in linking the Product Group PRODUCT Code & Location Group LOC Code to the respective Hierarchies and also SNP Interactive Planning not having a Place to enter these created Hierarchies.
I do want to praise and appreciate your contribution to the Blog ,,, well done. Full 10 Points Guaranteed on reply to above questions.
Regards,
Ambrish
