ABAP Update Routine

Hi All,
I am new in SAP BW and I am trying to learn more on the ABAP Routine in the Update Rule.
Questions:
1. The program name is always UPDATE_ROUTINE?
2. There will always be a default subroutine "compute_data_field"?
3. What do you mean by MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR?
4. Is COMM_STRUCTURE a keyword in ABAP?
5. Is it possible to give me a details of each MONITOR STRUCTURE part of the code?
PROGRAM UPDATE_ROUTINE.
$$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line -
TABLES: ...
DATA: ...
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line -
FORM compute_data_field
TABLES MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR "user defined monitoring
USING COMM_STRUCTURE LIKE /BIC/CS8ZD2C_O05
 RECORD_NO LIKE SY-TABIX
 RECORD_ALL LIKE SY-TABIX
 SOURCE_SYSTEM LIKE RSUPDSIMULH-LOGSYS
CHANGING RESULT LIKE /BIC/VZD2C_C05T-/BIC/ZABLSTCST
 RETURNCODE LIKE SY-SUBRC
 ABORT LIKE SY-SUBRC. "set ABORT <> 0 to cancel update
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line -
fill the internal table "MONITOR", to make monitor entries
result value of the routine
RESULT = .
if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
RETURNCODE = 0.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line -
ENDFORM.

Update Routine ABAP question

Hi,
I am updating data between two ODS objects using some update routines. I would like to write the following routine (in pseudo code):
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Check if the characteristic i am updating is not null
IF COMM_STRUCTURE-field1 = 'value1' AND
COMM_STRUCTURE-field2 = 'value2'.
RESULT COMM_STRUCTURE-field3.
ELSE.
Don't update anything
END IF
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My questions:
1. How i tell the routine not to update anything (as specified in the pseudo code)?
2. How i can check that the characteristic i woul like to update is not null?
3. What is the preferred debug method in case i do not use the PSA?
BR,
Xibi

Thanks Siggi for your prompt and helpful answer. There are however some fundamental things which are not fully clear to me (BTW, where i can find some good documentation on ABAP for BW??):

I wrote the following:
returncode = 1.
Consequently the updated failed. Maybe i am doing something wrong but my intention is not to have the whole thing fail, but rather skip the update for some records.
> 2. How i can check that the characteristic i woul

The problem is that the characteristic i am trying to update is not contained in the source ODS but only in the target one. Will "if not comm_structure-<fieldname> is initial" still work in this case?

Update Routine - ABAP code

Hi,
I am trying to write an update routine to calculate and populate fields in my ODS infoprovider.
one of the key figure field in my update rules is 'No. of Days'. Based on the 'No. of Days' range, I want to send a key figure(Infoobject:Due amount) value to another infoobject(Bucket1, Bucket2, Bucket3 ect.)in my ODS infoprovider. For example, let's say,
IF NO. OF DAYS = >0 AND <=30
 THEN TAKE THE DUE AMOUNT PUT IN BUCKET1
ENDIF.
ELSE IF
 NO. OF DAYS = >31 AND <=60
 THEN TAKE THE DUE AMOUNT PUT IN BUCKET2
ENDIF.
ELSE IF
 NO. OF DAYS = >61 AND <=90
 THEN TAKE THE DUE AMOUNT PUT IN BUCKET3
ENDIF.
I think, I know the data flow logic but I don't know how to code in ABAP language. If someone can give me some psuedo like ABAP code, I would appreciate your help with points.

Hi Roa,
I would do this in the start routine of the update rule.
Here is a sample on how do this. You could use a case statement for this code also.
Loop at Data_Packet.
IF NO. OF DAYS = >0 AND <=30
Data_Packet-BUCKET1 = DUE AMOUNT
ELSEIF
NO. OF DAYS = >31 AND <=60
Data_Packet-BUCKET2 = DUE AMOUNT
ENDIF.
ELSEIF
NO. OF DAYS = >61 AND <=90
Data_Packet-BUCKET3 = DUE AMOUNT
ENDIF.
modify data_packet.
endlloop.
Cheers! Bill

Update Routine & Start Routine in BI 7.0

Hi Experts,
We have recently upgraded from BI 7.0 , I am confused about where to write start routine & update routine in transformations of BI 7.0?
Please mention any pointers?
Thanks.
Sharat.

Hi
When you open the start routine you will see a routines info which gives you help on this.
A summary would be:
Update routine in transformation.
RESULT = source_field-material.
Basically you can acess the value of the record by using source_field.
Start routine.
The data comes in the form of an internal table with name SOURCE_PACKAGE.
You can access the values by looping into a work area.
LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE assigning <source_fields>.
ENDLOOP.
End routine(This is a new feature in BI 7.0 where you can modify data when transformations are complete and before data is updated to info-providers)
The data comes in the form of an internal table with name RESULT_PACKAGE.
You can access the values by looping into a work area.
LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE assigning <result_fields>.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this helps you to understand the basics of the abap used in the transformations .

Samarpita

Update Routine to populate 0VENDOR from either of the 2 data source fields

Hi,
I have a requirement to write an update routine for 0VENDOR based on the below logic :
Create routines to populated BW Info Object u201CVendoru201D (0VENDOR) based on the following logic:
IF field u201CVendoru201D (ITM_VENDOR_ID) is populated from data source 0BBP_SC_TD_1, THEN populate 0VENDOR with that value
ELSE IF u201CPreferred Vendoru201D (ITM_PROPVEN_ID) is populated from data source 0BBP_SC_TD_1, THEN populate 0VENDOR with that value
ELSE IF neither u201CVendoru201D (ITM_VENDOR_ID) or u201CPreferred Vendoru201D (ITM_PROPVEN_ID) are populated from data source 0BBP_SC_TD_1, then 0VENDOR = NULL
Can anyone help me in converting this logic into ABAP routine.
Thanks,
Suchitra

Hi Suchitra,
In the Transfer Rules ... You will be mapping each field then the mapping field click on the button with Triangle then you can see the which type you want.
Then select the routine and select the datasource fields (don't forget to select the both fields VENDOR and PROPITM)...
Then give a name to routine ...
and in the code just change the COMM_STRUCTURE to TRANSFER_STRUCTURE.
Then you can get this .... done..

Update routine - Performance Tuning

Hi,
To increase the performance, I have deleted some records in the data_package but these changes are not reflecting in the ALV output. We are getting old data only.
If we toutch the standard ALV program it is a problem for other update routinies. Please tell me the solution.
Thanks,
Suresh Kashimalla

Please be more specific, and elaborate on your issue. What are you referring to with ALV (ABAP List Viewer?). In which respect? Are you on SAP NetWeaver 2004s?

Update routine for 0proc_unit conversion

Hi all,
My infoobject 0OPR_ACTWRK uses 0PROC_UNIT for units. It holds data in days and in hours. When I load it to a cube, I want to convert all values to working hours.
I figured out that I have to use an update routine in my update rules. A lot of forum threads about unit conversion mention the function module UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE. Can I use this function for my problem? Or should I use a different function module?
This will be my first ABAP code, so can anyone help me and tell me what I have to fill in exactle in the routine format below?
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
fill the internal table "MONITOR", to make monitor entries
result value of the routine
RESULT = .
result value of the unit
UNIT = .
if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
RETURNCODE = 0.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line         -
Thanks in advance!
Regards, Pieter

Dear Pieter,
I am not infront of the system..
the following surely will give error.. :).. so post back here.. so that me or someone else will reply you..
So let us start witht he following coding in the 'Start routine'.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
IF DATA_PACKAGE-UNIT= 'DAY'.
   DATA_PACKAGE-opr_pldwrk = DATA_PACKAGE-opr_pldwrk * 8.
ELSE.
Do nothing.
ENDIF.
MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.

How to Debug ABAP/4 routine in Dynamic Selection?

Problem:
I am not able to debug the ABAP/4 routine in data dynamic selection.
Analysis:
I typed /H on transaction command prompt. I entered to ABAP/4 debug mode.
Then I am not able to debug my routine. Give me solution for this problem?

Hi Surya,
If you want to debug the routines in transformation
GOTO Transformation you need to debug -- seelct the tranformation id
To debug these routines we need to go to the generated program of the Transformations in two ways:
We can get the Program ID for the Transformation ID (6HkDSDsHJNQO0VTU3HK01MH7) from table RSTRAN.
You can get the program id from the table... append GP to the program id you will get the report program for transformations.
Now goto Tcode : se38 enter the program name and set the break points.
On going with display we will be to the ABAP editor of the Report Program.
The other way of getting to this program is from the Transformations itself.
Go to Extras -->Display Generated Program. It directly takes us to the ABAP editor of the Report Program.
Set a break point at the code you want to debug, i.e. at your selections at start routine and at your update
routine.
Now after setting the Break points run the DTP in the debug mode.(Select the Processing Mode Serially in the Dialog process (for Debugging)).
If you are on BW 3.x

Converting Tx Routines and Update Routines in to Tranformation in 2004's

Hi,
I have to get all the data from the existing BW 3.5 system in to the BI 7.0 system.
While the conversion process if I choose to create the transformation instead and installing the update rules and tranfer rules and migrating those to the tranformations.
Here I have three similiar questions:
i. So, if I copy the transfer routines in to the Transformation, then do I have to change any ABAP Code? Is there any syntax changes that have to be take care off.
ii. If I copy the Update routines in to the Transformation, then do I have to change any ABAP Code? Is there any syntax changes that have to be take care off.
iii. If I copy the Start routines in to the Transformation, then do I have to change any ABAP Code? Is there any syntax changes that have to be take care off.
I appreciate your help. Thanks!

How to create monitor entries from an update routine?

Hi,
Does anyone try to create monitor entries in ABAP routine in update rules?
I have How-to guide "How to... Create monitor entries from an update routine". I applied code from it.
RETURNCODE = 1.
MONITOR-MSGID = 'RSM'.
MONITOR-MSGTY = 'W'. *** I also tried MONITOR-MSGTY = 'E'
MONITOR-MSGNO = '799'.
MONITOR-MSGV1 = 'My message '.
MONITOR-MSGV2 = COMM_STRUCTURE-<MY_FIELD>.
append MONITOR.
EXIT.
But it doesn't work. I don't see new lines on Details tab in AWB Monitor.
What's wrong?
BW 3.0B

Hi, hope you had a good weekend.
I tried with MSGTY = 'I' and I didn't get any errors or warnings at load.
In the monitor, on the detail tab, I find hidden under:
Processing (data packet)
-> Data Package x
 -> Transfer rules
 -> Data records for package x
 -> Record 0:
 -> Record 0:
 -> Record 0:
When I select "Display Message(s)" from the dropdown-menu on one of these "Record 0:" lines, I get to see
my message text: S:RSM:000 test1 test2
1) how can I change the text that appears in the monitor tree ("Record 0:") ?
2) The status of these nodes is always a green led (also with MSGTY = 'W')... shouldn't it be a yellow triangle?
Like this it is hell to find your warnings/information messages.
3) I cannot find my monitor messages with transaction SLG1... should I be able to find them there?
Kind regards,
Edwin

Look up at master data in update routine

Hi all,
I am loading from flat file in to an infocube. My transaction data comes in the format Subcategory, Area,Date, Sales qty,UOM. But my infocube should be filled with Category,Subcategory,Region,Area,Date,SalesQty,UOM. My business requirements want me to model Category, Subcategory,Region area as characteristics of dimension. ie I cannot model Category as navigational attribute of Subcategory and Region as navigational attribute of Area.
But I can get the master data file for Subcategory in Sucategory, Category format and Area in Area, Region format. So when I load the transaction data I can make a table lookup on these master data table and fill the required fields.
But the problem is I donot have much experince in ABAP routines.
Can any one help me with a sample start/update routine on how to do this.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Amith

Amith,
Actually, you may everything do in a start routine of the URs (including lookup itself).
There is no need to declare internal table in a global part of routine and then read values in routines.
The code may look the following. (Don't have the system on hand. So, some syntax may require some modification.)
TABLES: <Your Master Data Table>.
DATA: wa_temp TYPE DATA_PACKAGE_STRUCTURE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
 wa_md TYPE <Your Master Data Table> OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM <Your Master Data Table> INTO wa_md.
SORT wa_md ASCENDING BY <Basic Char Key>.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE INTO wa_temp.
 READ TABLE wa_md WITH KEY <Basic Char Key> = wa_temp-<Basic Char Key>.
 wa_temp-<YourLookupIO> = wa_md-<YourLookupAttribute>.
 MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE FROM wa_temp.
ENDLOOP.
Best regards,
Eugene

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.

Diff between Start ,transfer,update routines

hi
Plz tell me what is the difference between Start routine,transfer routine and update routine. Send me some real time examples.I would be very glad.
Regards
Ajay

Hi!
it is simple all of them are small program used in ETL process while loading in to BW.
Start routine:- is used in Transfer rules and update rules, this abap code is executed before starting the load and used in scenarios where we want to perform some operations on all the data example deleting some records before processing records in Update rules or transfer rules.
Update routine:- abap code used in update rules to transform or finding some field. ex:- may be you want to retrieve the field data from some data base tables based on the other data present in the infosource
Transfer Routine:- similar to the update routine but used in transfer rules.

Update routine to populate value for field ZDOCCATG(Document category)

Hi Experts,
 I need to populate data for field ZDOCCATG(Document Category) based on the value of the below two fields,
1. 0deb_cre_lc(Debit / credit Amount)
2. 0ac_doc_typ(Belegart)
The logic is as follows:
if 0deb_cre_lc > '0'.
 if 0ac_doc_typ == 'dz'.
 ZDOCCATG = Disputes.
 else
ZDOCCATG = Invoices.
 end If.
else
if 0ac_doc_typ < '0'.
ZDOCCATG = Credits.
end if.
I need to write the update routine to get the values assigned for Document category based on these two fields. When i open the routine for the field ZDOCCATG, i can see the below screen:
