Addition vs. Overwrite for Update Type in Update Rules

I have an ODS that is updated by transaction data.  A key figure in the ODS is set to "Addition" (not overwrite) in the update rules.  My question is, if a transaction record is changed in ERP - only a characteristic in the record, not the key figure, when I load the ODS using a delta extraction, will the key figure be added again to the existing value in the ODS?  or will the key figure match ERP?
If update type "addition" does not work with delta extractions, what is it used for?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi,
it depends what the ERP datasource will send as delta for this KF:
- if it was 10, the document is changed to 12 and your delta sends 2 then this wroks peoperly. Usually the delta will send -10 +12, which is the same.
- if the delta just resends the "after image", the 12, the your KF should be overwrite since an add would mess it up.
Your last Q is answered with the first point, right?
hope this helps...
Olivier.

  • Routine for Update rule in cube

    Hi Friends,
           I have added a field to a cube, now i need to populate the same during the data is loading from the DSO to Cube.  Inupdate rule since we will get only te key figures, is it possible to access the dimensions in the routine. Please help me in giving some coadings for the routine for update rule.
    Thanks
    Prem

    Hi,
    one more suggestion..
    create a end routine and update the key figures based on ur dimension values by useing resuly_package.
    sample code:
    [Transformation end routine|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/203eb778-461d-2c10-60b3-8a94ee91cbfc]

  • Start routine for  Update Rules

    I need to write a start routine for the update rules for an DSO with main idea as follows:
    I must compare the record that comes from the infopackage with the record that's already in my DSO. If the X date for the same 0PM_ORDER is the same as one in my DSO - do nothing
    If the X date is previous to the X date in my DSO for the same 0PM_ORDER - the new record must be created and at the same time all the records with subsequent(later) X dates for this 0PM_ORDER must be deleted.
    If the X date is later than the X date in my DSO for the same 0PM_ORDER - the new record must be created.

    Hi,
    Find the below code.
    DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB1,
    ZDATE TYPE /BIC/DATE
    END OF ITAB1.
    SELECT zdate FROM /BI0/QEMPLOYEE INTO corresponding
    fields
    of ITAB1 where employee = SOURCE_FIELDS-EMPLOYEE.
    IF ITAB1-ZDATE COMMUNICATE_STRUCT-DATE
    RESULT = ITAB1-CLM_IPAA.
    ENDIF.
    ENDSELECT.
    There will be an table for each DSO if you go for an manage DSO you will get three table i.e New,Active and Change Log take Active tables date field and compare with the communication structure that comes to routine.
    The above example is just an example table will be different from DSO to DSO.
    Let me know your thoghts.

  • User exit for update rule of info structure

    Hi gurus,
    Can anybody tell me how to implement a user exit of update rule for LIS info structure, for ex,S140.
    Thanks
    Eric xu

    There is no user exit and we are not allowed to modify the update rules of the standard SAP info structures. However, you can create your own info structure with the same or similar configuration and then apply a formula or a requirement in the update definitions (MC25 transaction), as you please.
    After that you can just turn off the update of S140 (in OMO1 transaction) and use your own info structure instead in MCSI transaction.

  • Authorization Check for Update Rules Modify during Scheduling of InfoPackag

    Hello Everyone....
    We have recently upgraded our Testing Environment to NW2004s SP10, and the system is currently Non-Changeable and all the other changes have been brought in via transports.
    After SGEN has completed, when I try to open up an existing InfoPackage and click on the "Start" button it gives me the "You have only authorization to display the "InfoProvider" name".
    If it is the load into DSO it complains about Activity 23 not available for the Subobject UPDATERULE of the object S_RS_ODS and if it is an InfoCube it complains about Activity 23 again for the Subobject UPDATERULE of the object S_RS_ICUBE.
    Which doesn't really make sense as the Activity 23 would allow the change to the Update Rules for the InfoProviders.
    Please advice if there is any other Role or Profile which needs to be maintained or a system setting to avoid this Auth Check.
    Also, the same when repeated in the Development environment shows the message "Generating the Update Program" in the status bar below and once that has completed, the extract works fine.
    Please advice......
    Any help would be really appreciated as we are kind of stuck on this issue.
    Thanks
    Dharma.

    Hi,
    You should use transaction ST01 then you can see the objects asked for with the value needed. Also transaction SU53 gives you information about the object you want to use. The new transaction RSECADMIN with the tab analyses gives you information that is not in SU53 and releated to the data selection. If it is an analyses authorization problem add authorization object 0BI_ALL to a role in the autorisation object S_RS_AUTH. I think you can get the information you need this way.

  • SAP support for update rules

    Hi all,

  • Types of update rules

    Hi experts,
    What are the types of update rules?
    Regards,
    Siva

    Hi......
    Yes either you can say what are the different update types.........that Praveen has already ansered..............or you can say.........
    You can say what are the diffrent types of update routines...then the answer is :
    1) Start Routine in Transfer Rules
    2) Transfer Routine in Transfer Rules.
    3)Start Routine in Update Rules
    4)Update Routine in Update Rules.
    The routines that you write in transfer rules are applicable to all the Data targets that get the data from that particular Infosource, when you are going to write some code in Transfer rules, you have to understand that you are going to manupilate the data that is going to get into BW .
    If you are going to write in Update Rules , then that logic is going to apply only for that particular Data target .
    Eg : Let suppose I have a Flat file that gets data from 3 countries, US, Canada and Mexico.
    Now I have prepared the data source for the same . But I dont want to have the data of Mexico in to BW itself.
    So I will write a Start routine at TR to eliminate the data of Mexico.
    My Next step is I want the data of US into one ODS and Canada data in to another ODS.
    For this I handle the dataflow at Start routine in Update rules, to eliminate Canada data for US ODS and Vice Versa.

  • Currency Conversion - update rules for average rate

    I am working in BI 7.0
    I have a currency conversion I have defined with RSCUR with the exchange rate type 'M' defined in SPRO -> General Settings -> Currencies -> Exchange Rate Types.  The currency conversion takes place in my update rules.  I've set my 'Time Reference' to 'End of Period'.
    I want the conversion to be an average of all rates for the fiscal period.  If I check my table using 'OB08', I find my conversion is only using the rate for the last day of the Fiscal Period.  It is not averaging all the rates.
    My question is this.  Can I actually average all the rates for the fiscal period using RSCUR?  Do I need to have the people on the R/3 side have the rates be averages?  Meaning, the rates they update are not currency rates for that specific day but a running average for the month?
    What are the best practices for average rates for currency translations for update rules based on a Fiscal Period?
    Edited by: Michael Pepper on Mar 3, 2008 8:37 AM

    Hi MIchel,
                   If you  want the conversion to be an average of all rates for the fiscal period.
    Check under the cloumn ExRt
    you may find some row as description as "Average exchange rate"
    Create  Currency Conversion type with that exrt type.
    use this Currency Conversion type in u'r query for u'r keyfigure.
    hope this will be helpfull...........for this you can contact Fi people.

  • Start routine and update rules

    Hi,
    What is accessed first:-

    Hi......
    You have different types of Routines in BW .
    1) Start Routine in Transfer Rules
    2) Transfer Routine in Transfer Rules.
    3)Start Routine in Update Rules

    Global variables in Start routine
    You can have global variables, internal tables populated by the
    startup routine. This data will be available to the field
    routines. Create yourself a start routine, declare some
    variables in the global section, and then create a field
    routine. You will be able to use the globally declared objects
    in the field routine

    Hi indira,
    make neccessary changes to the request if u created earlier i.e u can delete the original request or change the discrption to "Dont delete" and release it, if u unable to delete each task in that particular request.
    Second step is activate all the infosources and cubes and Update rules.
    Then create transport request individually i.e One for IS and One IC and another for Update rules..It would be easier to trace in case of any error.
    Release the requests 4m DEV, and important thing is import these requests in Q or P in hierachiel manner i.e
    1. IS
    2. IC
    and the Update rules request.

    BWer,
    If you collect your transport in a big lump of a single transport, the tranport connection may not organize it in the order of the proper dependency, so it is best to split it to separate transports as stated above to ensure the proper dependencies. 
    To fix the issue right now, you can either
    1) take another transport through of only the updated / activated update rule or
    2) if you know what you are doing and if the client is okay with it, open the system, activate the update rule and when prompted for a transport, create a new one and go to SE10 to clean up that repair transport by deleting the subtasks. 
    I would probably recommend option 1 for you.  I only do option 2 if it is an emergency and there is no transport window for another week or longer or it just simply cannot wait.

    Hi Sonia,
    Definitely, the value for that field is not calculated at this UR level. If there is a start routine, it might have been calculated/derived there. If it is pdated for all records in the start routine it does not make sense to have a UR just to assign this as it is already assigned in the start routine. Please check you start routine. Hope this helps.

    Hi Krish
    Don't worry about the error message.
    RSA1-> Business content-> here select the update rules from 2LIS_02_SCL to cube 0PUR_C01 and with only necessary objects option-> Install update rules with applicable routines. Then refresh RSA1 and check for update rules. If still you don't get update rules, please let me know

  • Conversion of Update rule to new Transformation

    Hi All,
    I'm using BI 7.0 SP9. I have a scenerio where in I need to load standard cube 0SD_C03 cube from the standard extractors like 2LIS_11_VAITM etc..
    Based on the the thread below I have done the follwoing steps.
    how to migrate old transfer rule/update rule to new transformation?
    - Activated Business content cubes, update rules, infosources etc...
    - Done all the required work in Source system.
    - Later migrated data sources.
    - Now the problem comes, Based on the above tread I have gone to the context menu and selected "Tranforamation erzeugen". It asks to create new Infosource created a new infosource and the the transformation came up. But I can see its not mapped to Source system datasource. I mean its not linked to the datasource in Source system. Its just created in BW and when i load nothing happen. I understand this is not correct process.
    But when it pops up for Infosource If I select existing Infosource I dont see the old one's just because they were migrated already.
    Now how do I link with the source system with out creating transformation manually. because there are lots of standard routines in update which cant be rewriten in new transformation manually.
    Please let me know if there is a way to directly copy them and also correct me If i'm doing some thing wrong.
    Thanks in advance,
    Reagrds,
    Prashanth Reddy

    As Alex said delete the existing datasources and try to replicate it again as 3.x datasources. The process will work fine.
    When you replicate datasources it will pop-up screen for you to replicate as 3.x datsources or as a new datasource.
    Whenever you will plan to migrate from 3.x to new one, do migrate update rule, and transfer rules first. As when you migrate datasource, it deletes existing update rules/transfer rules also. For each update rule/ transfer rule it will create transformation for you after migration.
    After migration your scema will look like:
    datasource (new)-> transformation( replacement for transfer rule)->infosource(new)->transformation (replacement for update rules)->data target.
    Anyways when you will createmodel from scratch in 2004s system,  i hope you know infosource is now more mandatory in 2004s system.

  • 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.
