Refresh BPS buffer

Hi
I need to refresh the BPS buffer in my planning folder, and then read data from the cube and show in a layout. For do this I develop an exit function. This exit refresh the buffer (API_SEMBPS_REFRESH), read data from the cube (API_SEMBPS_GETDATA) and post the data in the layout (API_SEMBPS_SETDATA).
The problem is when I execute the function ends with a short dump.
Can I use API_SEMBPS_REFRESH in planning folder?
If the answer is no, what other way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ivan,
did you solved this problem. I also had problem with short dump after API_SEMBPS_REFRESH. We are at SEM-BW 350 SP level 0023.
Kind regards, Josko.

Update SEM/BPS buffer --- update Master data

Hi all,
in a planning layout I had the need to modify the master data (attributes of a IO). Therefore I use a planning function type exit and call sm30 to modify the p and x table.
After returning to the planning layout still the old attributes of the InfoObjekt are shown.
Is there a function to modify the data in the buffer or to force the BPS to reload the data from BW?
If you are in a Layout and change/load the master data in BW you have the same problem. You have to exit the transaction (upspm) before the changes of the Master data take effect in BPS.
Thanks for your help!

Hello Pierre,
If you are using the web the you could call the function module API_SEMBPS_REFRESH to refresh the buffer. Before that I would save the data (using API_SEMBPS_POST) to make sure the data is not lost.
You cannot use this refresh when in the GUI as the refresh destroys the BPS buffer etc on the server and the GUI does not automatically restart the necessary buffer instance etc.

Refresh BOL Buffer

I'm currently using non-bol ways (ex. order maintain function modules) to update data in the object buffer. Obviously this has caused the object buffer and respective bol object to be out of sync :(((
Is there a way to programmatically to refresh the BOL object so that it has the latest data?
I have already tried CL_CRM_BOL_CORE's reread_entity method without much luck?
Has someone done this before?
Cheers
Kishan.

To create a dummy BOL entity a LOCK has to be established on the entity, if not BOL will try to establish the lock. By default if LOCK is tried to establish or in other words if the mode of the BOL is changed from display to edit it is going to refresh automatically. So if we try to introduce the delta change the BOL changes to edit mode.
The question is to sync the buffer data without changing the BOL mode.
Please correct me if im wrong.
The buffer can be cleared using CL_CRM_BOL_CORe->RESET( ) method, which could be a little risky because it clears all the buffer data so there is chance of losing unsaved data and breadcrumbs.
Thanks,

Where does the buffer data gets stored in bw 3.5 bps?

Hi all,
Is there any standard tables, where in i can look for the buffer data. And how to delete nor refresh the buffer data in bw 3.5 bps?
Can anyone let me know the significance of buffer in bps 3.5?
Thanks
Pooja

Hi,
I think Data in the buffer is not stored temporarily in any specific table,once it is saved it will be as transaction data of the cube or the master data.
The place where data is stored in buffer is called planning buffer and All changes to the data are written to planning buffer.So you don't have to save continuously.If the data is not already in the buffer, the system reads it either from:
The database table (Customizing objects), or Info cube (Plan Data)
and writes it to the planning buffer.
You can use the given function module to delete the buffer data:'UPF_METHOD_DESTROY'

Buffer Refresh problem in BAPI_BATCH_CREATE while IDOc Processing.

Hi All,
I am creating a scenario using IDOC. The scenario has 2 steps.
1. Create SAP Batch (Tcode: MSC1N)
2. Create Goods Movement with movement type 309 (Material to Material Transfer)
I am getting all the required information for the above 2 transactions in a single IDOC in SAP R/3.
I have also identified the BAPIs for the above 2 transactions. I am using bapi 'BAPI_BATCH_CREATE' for creating BAPI.
But when I execute the first bapi "BAPI_BATCH_CREATE" it refeshes the buffer and hence, the idoc looses all its data and restarts again. As a result the IDoc is processed again from the beginning.
My analysis is that, when the first BAPI executes Commit Work statement, it refreshes the buffer, and hence the session looses its data. This results in re-execution of IDoc.
Can you please suggest me solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Atul

Thanks Madhu for your input, But still the issue is same.
i have added call to the bapi like this
ELSE.
              idoc_status-docnum = idoc_contrl-docnum.
              idoc_status-status = '53'.
              idoc_status-msgty = 'S'.
              APPEND idoc_status.
              CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
              EXPORTING
                WAIT          =
              IMPORTING
                RETURN        =
            ENDIF.
one more point here althought i am getting messge after the execution that idoc got processed by FM Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZQMSLD...
still the transaction is running for a long time.....i had to stop it after a long time when there was no response.
Is something wrong with the code?

Refresh Buffer area

Hi ,
I am using cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table to get an dynamic internal table. At 5th record , the program is dumping and giving error as
<b>'sub routine pool buffer is full'</b>.
Could you please suggest me to refresh this buffer .
Is there any Function module or method to refresh buffer area.
Thanking you,
Satya

Hi Naga,
There lies the problem. U can call this method only upto 21 times not more than that in one session. Even I too faced the same kind of situation. Then I arrived at a solution of storing the address of the new line type created with the same structure of the table. Like,
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_stuff,
       tdref TYPE REF TO data,
       END OF ty_stuff.
DATA w_stuff TYPE ty_stuff.
DATA t_stuff TYPE TABLE OF ty_stuff.
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
        EXPORTING
          it_fieldcatalog = it_fieldcat_fin[]
        IMPORTING
          ep_table        = new_table.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
Create a new Line with the same structure of the table.
        ASSIGN new_table->* TO <fs_table>.
        CREATE DATA w_stuff-tdref LIKE LINE OF <fs_table>.
        "(w_stuff-tabname).
        APPEND w_stuff TO t_stuff.
      ENDIF.
So my table t_stuff will contain all the addresses of the table structures. Use that in this way:
      READ TABLE t_stuff INDEX l_seg_tabix INTO w_stuff.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        ASSIGN w_stuff-tdref->* TO <l_line1>.
      ENDIF.
Now <l_line1> will be of line type of the internal table that u want to create.
Anyways it depends on the requirements. I thought of sharing this, might be helpful in some way to u.

Buffer table not up to date

hi all,
While creating a contact i am getting error as"Buffer table not up to date"..what does it mean..i am working in SRM 5.0 classical scenario...
Thanks&Regards,
Hari...

Hi Sridhar,
This issue generally comes up when the tables that store these entries get full and doesn't allow any further postings.
In most of the cases this will be the issue though for your case i can not say this is the exact issue but this may work.
At this point i don't remember the exact transaction for refreshing but inform your BASIS guys to refresh the buffer tables.They will definitely know the procedure.
Hope this resolves your issue.

HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA, buffer gives old data

Hi All,
We are using a module pool program that facilitates hiring of employees. A user who performs hiring action, uses this program and updates records that get updated in R3 PA tables.
The problem is when the user tries to update a batch of records. It works fine for the first record but for the second, it displays the details of the first. (if my 2nd employee is Y, the details of emp X still get displayed)
We are using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION for this. I debugged and found that HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA is used inside. A perform called GET_INFOTYP_BUFFER in mainitain_masterdata gets the data from buffer (which is of the old record and not the new one)..Why is the buffer still having the old record details? How to refresh the buffer?
Regards,
Aruna Nivetha.R

Hi Shrinivas,
That dint help much. Even when I used HR_INITIALIZE_BUFFER, the problem still persists....
Any other clue?

BPS modelling issues

Hi ,
i am having a set of doubts can any one clarify me pls.
1. can partioning of transaction cubes improves the performance in bps layouts.
2. can we refer 3 cubes actual data at once in a distribute function and populate the fourth cube using multi planning areas.
3. performance wise how much maximum number of records can we store in a transactional cube.( each record having 20 columns)
4. how to handle buffer shortage issues whice using bps function over huge volume of data.
Thanks for all of your great efforts.
Ram

To add another perspective:
1. Physical partitioning might improve BW read time but bear in mind the BW read is likely a small part of your overall BPS execution time (for example in our system BW read is only 5-10% of total execution time) so don't assume that shaving a small percentage off the read time is necessarily going to have noticable impact on BPS performance.
2. It depends - definitely possible to use a different cube for reference data in a distribution, but dist functions tend to need quite specific identification of reference data so if it is truly spread amongst three cubes may not be straightforward. You can probably get around it but might need to be creative though echo Mary's question about need to refer to 3 cubes at the same time for a single function.
3. No of records in the cube should not matter hugely, though BW read time will degenerate as it gets very large. What is absolutely critical is minimising the number of records you are pulling into the BPS buffer. To give an example on our system we have 10 million records in transactional cube but users generally working with 10-30,000 records and response time for calling up layouts on the web and executing functions generally around 5 to 15 seconds.
4. Simple answer is don't go anywhere near BPS buffer limit, not only do you get ABAP dumps when you exceed it which is very irritating I think everything gets exponentially slower as you approach memory limits (just my opinion from experience). Every design is different but my rule of thumb assuming a reasonable number of characteristics & KFs would be: much over 50,000 records will likely be getting slow for users so think about running functions in the background; much over 250,000 <b>might</b> be risk of memory problems so question whether you really need to do this in BPS - if you do then consider breaking data down into smaller sections for processing either by design of your functions and selections or using a program to help break it up like UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE_STEP.

Buffer issue

Hello guys,
I am facing issue becuase of the buffer very frequently.
The agent assignment fails because of this. As soon as I refresh the buffer, it works fine.
Is there a permanent solution for this?
We are in the testing phase in the Quality system. There were no transports which went through for workflow in the past few days. But still the buffer issue came up. NO change was done to the Org.structure also recently.
Can anyone explain and provide the solution?
Thanks,
Ram.

Hello,
Could you answer my questions:
1. Where is the user reading his emails, in SBWP? Or UWL?
2. When you do the buffer refresh, do the existing workflow instances start sending workitems again or do only new workflows send workitems?
If the answer to 2. is existing workflow instances, then what is happening with these workflows in the meantime? Does the workflow log show that it has reached the appropriate step and it has the correct agents, but the users just can't see it in their inboxes?
Doing SWU_OBUF is not a problem in production, it causes a small performance dip (as far as I understand it) but it's certainly not something you want to be doing all the time.
When this is resolved please be sure to post the solution here.

Buffer Table not up to date error while accessing Catalogs

Hello,
I am getting Buffer table not up-to-date error while accessing ARIBA Procurement Catalogs.
Initially, my Test system was pointing to Production Catalogs but now, when I changed the settings in "Define External Web Services" and pointed it to DEV Catalogs, it is failing with error: "Buffer Table not up-to-Date"
Refreshed the Buffer already but still error not fixed.
We already have the similar settings in other systems and there the connections are working fine
Please advise
Regards
Manish Agrawal

Hi Manish,
Could you please check the below notes and implement the same since I had the same issue upon punching out from the catalog to SRM system.

ABAP Buffer Problem - URGENT

Hi All
I have the following ABAP problem.
I wrote a program that delimits(Just editing the end date) the Qualification and Person relationship in HRP1001.
The problem is that I update the database directly, and all appears to be working fine but it appears that the Buffer for infotype 1001 does not get updated and therefore if you view the data in transaction PPPD it still displays the previous end date and not the updated end date.
Is there a way to refresh the buffer for infotype 1001 so that the data in PPPD reflects the actual database data?
Help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Kind regards

BPS Memory Problems

Hi gurus,
I have several Global Planning Sequences. On their own they run okay, but if I put them all into a sequence using a Process Chain, I get a short dump because of memory issues.
Any ideas why that is? Is the data being kept in the buffer somehow? If so, is there some way I can refresh the buffer (without losing any data) in my planning sequence.
Tristan

Hello Tristan,
I recommend to review notes 896745 and 546464.

Clear a buffer

I have a buffer that is generating 5 min worth of data and feed it to a queue. The data is later dequeued into a seperate while loop and plot in a graph.
My goal is programmatically refresh the buffer. I tried to used flush queue after the data is being enqueued, it did not work because after the flush the buffer adds last previous data set plus a new one into the queue. I want the buffer to start back at zero, meaning get rid of all the previous data and enqueue in new ones in the queue. Flushing the queue does not work
Thanks

I don't know what you are doing, I don't see a Flush anywhere, I don't understand why you would expect a Flush to do anything to your Queue, anyway (which means that if the Flush actually is expected to have no effect, then observing that it has no effect means it is probably functioning correctly!), and why you have a Circular Buffer function (mis-wired, by the way) in here.
Please do not take this the wrong way, but do you know what you are doing? Can you explain for us what you are trying to accomplish with just the top loop? It looks like you are generating 3 channels of 2000 points of random data, bundling it into a Waveform with a curious dt (I'm assuming you are simulating actual data acquisition -- if so, what is your intended sampling rate, and are you using "Continuous Acquisition", where the next 3 x 2000 points will be delivered when collected?). You pass this through a Circular Buffer function (why? what is this supposed to accomplish?) then put it on a Queue.
The entire top loop runs at 1 Hz, so as long as we assume the Consumer loop is reasonably fast, the Queue will almost always be empty -- it will only have data on it for the (very brief) interval between the Enqueue and the waiting Dequeue. Even if you followed the Enqueue with a Flush, the Dequeue still might "win" because it is running asynchronously.
OK, so now we have whatever was placed on the Queue. What do you intend to be there? The entire set of 3 waveforms, each with 2000 points supposedly sampled at 100Hz (which would take 20 seconds, yet you are shoving Waveforms out 20 times faster ...)?
What is supposed to be happening in the bottom loop? I have to confess that I've never used a Listbox, so I'm not sure what is supposed to happen when it is wired to a For loop, and accordingly I cannot guess (and am too lazy to experiment to find out) how many times (or even if) this For loop runs. The functions to the right of the For Loop also puzzle me -- I'm not sure what you are trying to do here, but suspect you are not doing it correctly ...
