SAP BW 3.5 APD for master data

Gurus,
We are having issues with SAP BW 3.5 APD transformation before full upload for Item master data. Due to the high volume encountering short dumps. We cannot extend memory space to fix this short dump. What we are trying to do is initilize the values before the full load to make consistent with SAP so that BW item cost values is in sync with SAP. There was no issue in development and only in test system.
So work was moved to test.
Is there any suggestion for this problem or alternative to something else? Please help.
Thanks,
Di

Hi Abhishek,
We need to correct values of custom cost related fields of master data in BW that pull data from SAP. If any Item with cost field in SAP is not maintained any longer, we found the solution to initilize every record with APD before doing full upload in BW to be in sync. Version is BW 3.5. We are facing performance issue. So tried different ways like delete all the records that is already zero before reading data from the internal table. We still get short dump when process chains runs with APD program. I am not sure how to pull data in smaller chunks with filters here. Any suggestions please? Design is master data, filter columns, routines and master data. Source and target are the same.
Thanks,
Di

Upload Image for Master Data Product - SAP CRM GUI

Hi,
I see in DEMOS image for master data product TX COMMPR01, when you open transaction image is in top of the screen with the other data.
I create a new product and add an image in Tab Document, however image only is load when I pushed botton preview.
Some idea?
Regards,

Hi Wilbert,
Well it should work if you have loaded the image at the right place in the Tab Document. Please verify the same.
What I did to check this :-
Go to Tab Document -> follow the tree structure Document -> Picture -> Full Size.
The Right click on Full Size ->create -> Document -> Import. And I imported a picture form my desktop. I did the same for Thumbnail. I can see the image in the top right corner of the screen in TX COMMPR01.
Also In order to view the complete picture I just Right click on the file name -> Document -> Display and I can see the full picture.
Reward points if it helps!!

Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

Hi BI Experts,
Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as ,
and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
(LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
now i used to rsa1old transaction to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for IOSP_Mat
now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
Thanks,
Srijith

apologies to all of you for late response,
was busy with some other activities.
I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
Thanks again for your quick response.
Once again sorry to all of you for my late response
Thanks,

Creation of OLAP Variable for Master data

Dear BW Experts,
How to Create OLAP Variable for Master data in SAP BW? What is the use of OLAP Variable?

The entry column Type (Variable) on the Select Data tabpage indicates a variable time frame in which the data should be requested. The variables are not replaced by concrete values until a request is made. There are eight options:
Variable Data request Description
0
 Yesterday
 (12am 12am)
1
 Last week
 (Monday-Sunday)
2
 Last month
 (1. (First day - last day of previous month)
3
 Last quarter
 (1. (First day - last day of previous quarter)
4
 Last year
 (01. (January 1 Dec 31 of previous year)
5
 User time selection
 See below
6
 ABAP routines
 See below
7
 OLAP variables
 See below
Time selections with the help of the variables 0 to 4.
The variables 0-4 only refer to date fields of the data type DATS.
User time selection
Type 5 gives you a free selection of all fields.
If you select this variable for a field, confirm the selection, and then choose Detail for Type, an additional dialog box appears. In this dialog box you can freely limit the values of the fields and determine the next period value and the number of periods until a repetition.
Variables are placeholders for values and are not replaced by concrete values until a data request is made. You can also use a Variable for selections when requesting data for an InfoObject, if you choose type 7, confirm the selection, and then choose Detail for Type.

Why to use chnage pointers for master data idoc why not the change idoc

Hi Gurus,
I have one doubt about Idoc.
When changes to master data has to be sent Change pointers are configured and used. (CDPOS & CDHDR). In case of the transaction data change change idoc is used as is the case with orders (we use ORDCHG for ORDERS message type to send the chnage details to a order which was already sent to other system.
Why we can't use change idoc or message type whatever, instead of Chnage pointers in case of master data or vice versa in case of transaction data.
Your valuable input will be rewarded with suitable points!!
-B S B.

Hi,
It was a good question ... SAP seems never designed the change pointer to handle transactional data IDocs. Only for master data IDocs distribution purposes.
It may due to volume data ... the transactional data can change many times within a day compare with master data which hardly change or once a while.

Aggregates for master data & Line item Dimension

Hi i have question
1 Can we create Aggregate for Master Data?
2 Can we create Aggregate with Navigational Attributes?
3 Can we create Aggregate with Line Item Dimension?
4 How many dimension we can add with how many characteristics in it if we create a new Aggregate

1 Can we create Aggregate for Master Data? - No
2 Can we create Aggregate with Navigational Attributes? - No
3 Can we create Aggregate with Line Item Dimension? - No
4 How many dimension we can add with how many characteristics in it if we create a new Aggregate - You can create a maximum of 13 dimensions in the cube.You can add as many characteristics for an aggregate,adding many characteristics in the aggregate is as good as having the query fetch data from the Cube instead of the aggregates.
Aggregates are subsets infocubes derived from the main InfoCube to increase the query performance.You can create as many aggregates you want in an InfoCube.
For each aggregate,internally dimensions are created based on the selected characteristics.
Take a look at this link for detail information...

BW - Delta for Master data not loading

Hello All,
I am not able to load delta for master data of vendor and material.
The initial load works fine but when I load delta it gives an error
" The extraction program does not support object 0vendor"
" ALE change pointers are not set up correctly"
Do i need to activate the change pointer in BD61. I was not sure so checking up with all experts.
Regards
Vanya

Hi Ravi,
We faced the same problem as you for 0MATERIAL_ATTR and we solved it by the following steps,
1. Delete the previous Delta Init for the InfoObject
If you have access to R/3 Side you can follow the steps or you can follow the BW Steps
Goto RSA7 ->Select and Delete the Init for the InfoObject
From BW Side
InfoPackage-> Inti for Source System -> Select & Delete
2. Execute the Init InfoPackage for the InfoPackage again.
3. After successful completion, execute the delta InfoPackage.
We have have got resolved by doing these steps and it may help for your problem as well.

LSMW for master data

Is LSMW used mainly for master data transfer? if yes, what can b the reason for this?
About BDC, is it used both for master data, transaction data,right?

Hi,
The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP
systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be
imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data
migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
In LSMW have source and target field mapping. so that data should not be lost.

REPEAT DELTA WILL WORK FOR MASTER DATA DELTA LOADS

Hi Guru's,
REPEAT DELTA WILL WORK FOR MASTER DATA DELTA LOADS?
AS I AM NEW TO SAP-BI CAN ANY ONE GIVE THE DETAIL EXPLANATION ON IT.
IT WILL BE GREAT AND HELPFULL.
Thanks and Regards,
CM

Hi CM,
yes you can perform the repeat delta even for the master data if the datasource which was supplying the data was delta capable.
You can do the repeat delta only in case if your previous request was erroneous and dont forget to make the request red in the status,so that system will treat like you are requesting the failed request once again where in case you will miss the previous request, i,e erroneous request if you dont make the request red.
when you make the request red manually in the status,the pointer will move to the previous request once again in the delta queue and there will be no chance of missing the delta records.
This process was same for both transaction as well as master data.

Sunil...

Looking for Master Data Management in non-Netweaver environmets

Hello
Based on SAP literature I have read on Master data Management (MDM) ,it is a component of Netweaver product family.
Currently we are running SAP R/3 Enterprise edition(4.7C) and wish to have some form of MDM to maintain a consistent view of master data across different landscapes. Theses landscapes span different geographic and administrative areas.
Is there any product either from SAP or third-party vendors which can offer a solution for MDM in environments such as ours that have not yet switched to Netweaver.
Kind Regards
Mohammad

Hi,
SAP definately offers SAP-MDM soultion. Yet its part of netweaver family but you can buy and install in seperately if you wish not to switch to Netweaver.
Its a myth that SAP-MDM is only for SAP products.
There are multiple input options available and hence it can work for you.
Please suggest if need more info.
Also you can post more questions into SAP-MDM forum.
Hope this helps,

SRM Field Control for Master Data fields e.g. hide Street prefix

Hi Experts,
we are using SRM 7 Ehp1.
For the RFx process we need to create bidders.
To simplify the creation of the bidder for the users we would like to hide
all unnecessary fields e.g. Street prefix / Street suffix.
I tried to use the customizing img "SAP Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Cross-Application Basic Settings --> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) --> Configure Field Control"
I've tried the function "Configure Control for Fields on Header Level".
There is a business object type BBP001 for bidders but only 4 fields are available for field control.
It seems this customizing entry is only for transaction data, e.g. SC, PO but not for master data.
Is it possible to hide fields for bidders within SRM?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind Regards
Stefan

I've enhanced the relevant web dynpro component view.
