ABAP needed: New Value/Old Value in Update Rules

Hi all
I'm updating some attributes in IObj by ABAP routine. Is it possible to get not only new value of attribute but the old one to compare them?
Is it possible to get others attribute old and new values?
I'll illustrate it with example.
Say, IObj has 3 attributes:
0ACC_GRP
0DT_FROM
0DT_TO
if NEW value of 0ACC_GRP <> OLD value of 0ACC_GRP then
new 0DT_FROM = SYSDAT
new 0DT_TO = old 0DT_FROM
else
new 0DT_FROM = old 0DT_FROM
new 0DT_TO = old 0DT_TO

My case quite simple I guess.
I got 0CUSTOMER infoobject and appended it with several time-dep attributes. After it my Update rules were deactvated.  I got error message with prompt to fill out FROM_DATE, TO_DATE as key fields in every attribute (time-dependable and none time-dependable) while was trying re-activate Update Rules.
So, what's wrong with that? What I supposed to do with all those to/from date key fields  in my Update Rules??

  • Update open sales order values. - Update rule.

    Hi
    In library below information given for the updation of open sales order value in infostructure. Can any one please explaing how can we configure below two rules.
    An update rule describes the set up of the open sales order value, i.e., the open sales order quantity. The second update rule describes the reduction of open sales order value, i.e., the open sales order quantity by the corresponding deliveries.

  • How do I get a new value for the service name field and update it in Connection Properties?

    I am running Windows Vista. I just upgraded to Firefox 4. When I try to log on to the internet, it tells me the proxy server is refusing connections. A diagnostic reported Error 815 and said the remote server is not responding because there is an invalid value for the "Service Name" field. It said to get a new value and update it in Connection Properties. How do I do this?

    When you create a new film script, the first page you see is a title page.
    The page after this title page is the one where you generally type in your scenes.
    It looks like you are facing some issue and not able to delete any text.
    Can you please send me this script so that I can have a better look at your issue?
    You can save this script to disk by using option 'File -> Save to disk'. This will create a '.stdoc' file on your system.
    Just mail this '.stdoc' file to me at 'roverma <at> adobe <dot> com'

  • Variable update with new value

    Hallo,
    How can i a variable (XML Publisher Syntax <?variable:name?>) one new value assign/update.
    e.g.
    initialize: <?variable:name?>[value]<?end variable?>
    [loop]
    new allocate:
    <?variable:name?>[value]+1<?end variable?> -> doesn't work
    [end loop]
    I use the XML Publisher syntax because i use before function "instr".
    who can me help. please. I'm to despair.
    Thanks for help
    Holger

    As I understand you are looking for the Variable handling similar to X=X+1 , and you want to loop this from say 1 to 15.
    - I think you just did not include the counter within the loop
    - Also you are trying to loop on $YY, which first of all can not be accessed this way. You will have to use xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'YY') . Secondly your loop should run against a group of data. It can be a variable like $YY but it should hold such a group of data.
    so, assuming that your data is flat and grouped under ROW tag...
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, ’YY’, 1)?>
    <?for-each:ROW[position()<16]?>HELLO
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'YY', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'YY') +1)?><?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ’YY’)?>
    <?if: (xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ’YY’))=15?>Yes Yes<?end if?>
    <?end for-each?>

  • Need hints to bring BC400(ABAP) knowledge to BW update rules/routines.

    Hi,
    I have just completed the BC400 (ABAP) course at SAP but the instructor had no clue about BW.
    From se80, he thought how to create packages, programs, functions modules, classes/Interfaces, etc. but whenever, I asked how these fit into the BW update rules and transfer rules, he said he knew nothing about BW.
    For example, how do I bring in a program written in se80 into my update rule or transfer routine which updates and ODS or cube?
    i.e. The main reasoning for learning this BC400(ABAP) is to be comfortable in writing update rule or transfer routine to update ODS/Cubes in BW but the instructor failed me in making the link between the ABAP class and BW.
    Can you give me some guide on this?
    Can I work in se80 as I was taught and bring codes from there to update a cube?
    i.e. if I need to write an update routine to update a cube from an ODS, can this be done in se80 (on BW)
    I will appreciate any guidelines to bring in my new found knowledge to the BW environment.
    Thanks

    Most Bw transformations are already includes inside programs or cmods or BTEs
    By double cliking on start routines and end routines it already takes you into the ABAP enviroment
    Have a look at the sappress book - user exits and BADIs in BW (it's not a brillaitn book by any means - it's just about passable and is short on detail - but it will get you a head start)

  • ABAP Help needed with update rule

    I have created a new keyfigure A and a new keyfigure B in 1 update rule, derived from basic keyfigures. Keyfigure C is calculated by adding A and B together...in the same updaterule.
    keyfigure A and B are filled (recalculated ) as expected but keyfigure C remains empty. Can anybody tell me why?
    regards,
    tom

    Hi Tom
    I think you have written a update rule for all the three keyfigures A, B and C.
    When you write an update routine it is local and the value returned by any routine or calculation can not be accesed by other keyfigure. The Key Figure C will be calculated with values of A and B from the datapacket which are both SPACE(not from the values returned by update routines of A and B). so value of C will always be SPACE or Empty.
    To solve the problem write Start Routine for calculating A B and C
    Please assign points if helpful.

  • ABAP code in update rules to convert the date

    Hi,
    Could any one send me the ABAP code that is written in the update rules to convert the date (DD/MM/YYYY  -- lenght 10) to YYYYMMDD ---  length 8  format.
    Also please let me know where I should write this code; while creating update rules or while creating infosource.
    Thanks,

    Hi Bharath,
    Hi Bharath,
    I suggest you do the conversion of dates in the transfer rules. Here is the correct code you need:
    * Assuming the source data field is called MYDATE
    * Place the ff. in the routine in the transfer rules:
    concatenate tran_structure-mydate+6(4) tran_structure-mydate+3(2) tran_structure-mydate(2) into result.
    replace MYDATE with the name of the source field (10 chars) in the transfer structure. Hope this helps.

  • URGENT !!! - ABAP code in update rule

    Friends,
    With my limited knowledge in ABAP, I need some help from the forum.
    I need to create a routine in update rule to capture 'date of last GR against a PO delivery schedule'. Let's say
    PO # 1234
    IT # 10
    SCL # 1
    There are multiple partial deliveries against SCL # 1 above and I have to capture the last delivery date and subsequently the last invoice date. If I try to set the rule to capture the 'posting date' based of 'transfer type'  - the GR date field gets overwritten by the last invoice date (the date of last activity). My requirement is to separate the two i.e.
    1) Date of last GR against PO - Item - SCL line
    2) Date of lasr INV against PO - Item - SCL line
    Can any one help me with the code ???
    Thanks,

  • Update rules explained

    Can someone give me an example for each of the different Update types Addition, maximum, minimum and No update?
    Can you give an example of a key figure for each different method? I assume most key figures would use the Addition type because you want to aggregate data for a specific combination of a number of characteristics. Where would we use the other three options?
    thanks

    Regarding Info cubes, based on the aggregation type u choose for the Key figure ,
    the new values are updated in the Info cube.The aggregation type like Addition, Minimum and Maixmum determines how ur key figures are going to be updated if the primary keys are same.If u r not choosing anything, automatically Addition is selected. If u choose No update means the key figures are not updated ,no records are written in the InfoCube with the first data transfer, or that data records that already exist, will remain in place with subsequent transfers.
    Regarding Infoobejcts , only the Overwrite option is available , so only new values are going to be updated.
    Regarding ODS, we have Overwrite, Minimum, Maximum. Baseed on the aggregation type u choose the key figure values are going to be updated in to the ODS. Overwrite determines the delta capability for example take sales doc no and quantity as 1 and 10 during the first load. in the second if u r loading 1 and 15, then in ODS first load values are going to be overwritten by the second load process.hope this helps.

  • Inactive connection in update rules

    Hello,
    How do I update my update rules for 0MATERIAL_ATTR in the production system (BW prod)?
    I have attempted to transport the update from dev. I have the info object in the uodate rules, but not the connection to the source field.
    How do I get the connection active in the update rules?
    Best regards,
    Fredrik

    Frederik,
        create new transport from DEV for Update Rules( Make some change in the description or some space in the routine). Transport this request to production it will be rectified.
    or try to import the previous transport again. When cube gets changed UR get deactivated. Try to reactivate the UR either by creating new transport or reimport the old one.
    Last week i faced the same problem. i reimported the same transport i sloved my problem. one time i created new transport for UR, i imported in Production it's activated my UR.
    all the best.

  • Missing Update Rules for 0IC_C03 in Business Content

    We had a problem with 0IC_C03,  so we decided to reload from Business Content and then migrate to 7.0 format again.
    However, when we try to gather all of the dependent objects for the InfoCube in Business Content, we only get one set of obsolete update rules (2LIS_40_S278), and the update rules for 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_UM do not show up.  They do not appear under update rules, either.
    I know they were there at one point because I activated and migrated the cube once already.
    Can someone help us find our lost update rules?

    Hi Dan,
    There are no update rules deliverd with BI 7.0 for 0IC_C03. There are only
    transformations Delivered as part of the content. In the new release
    Transformation replace the update rules and the transfer rules.                                                                               
    You have the 3 data sources and the associated transformations to

  • Copy Update Rules

    Hi Gurus,
    We installed some Business content cubes along with the corresponding update rules. We want to do Z-copy of the cube. How do we copy update rule of a Business Content Cube (eg 0PUR_C01) to a Z-copy of the same cube (eg ZPUR_C01)?
    Please let me know
    Thanks

    We have a standard ODS which gets updated thru update rules from an Infosource. However, the next level Data Target (which is a Standard infocube) gets updated from the ODS. While doing the Z-copy of ODS I did have the original ODS as in the 'template' field in the 'create update rule' initial screen and I got the update rules copied in same way as it is with the original ODS. However, I am not sure what exactly I need to do for copying the update rules from the Z-ODS to Z-cube. What needs to be filled in the "template" field?
