ALE Master Variant data distribution

Hi all,
I m working on ALE and I want to transfer data from System1 to System2.Data includes all related to material classification i.e class,characteristics,charistics values,material,variant tables,configuration profiles,dependencies,etc.
I want to transfer material variant.So I m using transaction BD10 and message type MATMAS02.The material goes with the entire data of material variants except for the plant-specific configuration details on the MRP3 view.
Do i need to change the message type or the transaction that i m using??
Kindly reply back soon.
Regards,
Ankit

ALE:Material Master Data Distribution

Hi
I am new to ALE Material Master Data Distribution and if the questions are incorrectly worded, please accept my apologies. It is due to lack of knowledge.
I am doing Material Master Data distribution and I am using standard basic type MATMAS03. The standard TCode MM01, MM02 has SAP tables and 3 custom tables.
I have turned the active on using BD61 and change pointers to message type.
Q: Is the change pointer, applicable to entire material master? i.e. if I change a field in Z table or standard material tables, can an IDOC be created for the entire material record?
Q: What is the function of BD52? Does this override the option Activate Change pointers for message type? Does it mean, if the changes are made to those fields in BD52 a change pointer is created?
Q: If I change Z table only, will there be a change pointer created? If not, how could I accomplish this using BD52.
Q When do we use the enhancement MGV00001?
Also, If you could add anything in addition to above queries, it will be helpful to me and I appreciate it.
With regards,
William

Thank you Sudhakar.
Your tips are good, but, I was not able to get the problem resolved.
Let me explain what I have done based on your tips.
1. MATMAS uses MATMAS03. The basic type has NOT been modified to have z fields yet.
2. Using BD52, i have created the following fields
MATERIAL ZEMM_MARA_TECH IM_ADVISORY_CODE
MATERIAL ZEMM_MARA_TECH KEY.
3. Modified the MMR for IM_ADVISORY_CODE.
I did not see a change pointer for this change.
Q: When I created above entry using BD52, was asking the table name. The table name is stored in TCD0B. What TCode is available the entries in TCDOB. For the time being, i created using SQL.
Q. Is there a follow up configuration required to capture the changes?
I will award the points in a couple of days time, even if I do not get the solution, because you have spent your precious time for the community. I will wait for a couple of days for other suggestions and close the Problem.

Full Master Data Distribution in ALE - Vendor Master CREMAS(Full Distributi

Hi Experts,
   I have to do a Full Master Data Distribution in ALE - Vendor Master CREMAS(Full Distribution) using BD21.
   I have already read the blog of Mickel and incorporated the code in Change_Pointer_Read.
   It is still not working. Should I include the code at the end of the Function Module. If yes, how to code at the last as
   I can include my code at the SAP suggest Enhancement and End Enhancement.
   Is there any way I can create the implicit Enhancement at the end of the Function Module.
   I will appreciate any help to make the Full Distribution work.
Thanks,
Mich

Hi,
   Here is the link.
   /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2009/06/04/distribution-of-full-master-data-objects-from-change-pointers
   My requirement is to send the whole Vendor Master in a IDoc even though for eg there is only one field change in address field of Vendor Master. Full Master Data distribution. But the program BD21 creates only IDocs with segments where the changes are made in the particular tab like address.
   Is there any Enhancement or way to enforce the whole Master Data(CREMAS) to be distributed.
   I will really appreciate any helpful answer .
Thanks,
Mich

Master Data Distribution !

Hi!
   I want to know the purpose of master data distribution for the following between the vendor & the customer.
   1. Material Master
   2. Vendor Master & Customer Master.
Whats the purpose of linking our system with our vendor or customer etc with <b>regard to master data</b>
Pls explain in detail.
Thanks
Rahul.

Hi Rahul,
We dont do master data distribution with customer system or vendor system.
Master data distribution is done between distributed systems of the same organization using ALE configuration. So we dont link to customer or vendor systems for transfering master data but for transfering transactional data like purchase orders or sales orders etc.
Master Data Distribution
Rather than distributing the complete master data information, views of the master data can be distributed (for example, material sales data, material purchase data). Each view of the master data is stored in a separate message type.
Users can specify which data elements in a master record are to be distributed.
Various distribution strategies are supported:
·        Cross-system master data can be maintained centrally and then distributed. The final values are assigned locally.
·        A view of the master data can be maintained locally. In this case there is always one maintenance system for each view. After the master data has been maintained it is transferred to a central SAP system and distributed from there.
Types of Distribution
·        Active distribution (PUSH)
If the master data is changed (for example, new data, changes or deletions), a master data IDoc is created in the original system and is distributed by class as specified in the distribution model.
·        Requests (PULL)
A request occurs when a client system needs information about master data held in the system. You can select specific information about the master data, for example, the plant data for a material.
If you want to be notified of all subsequent changes to the master data, this has to be set up manually between the two systems. It is not yet possible for this to be done automatically in the distribution mechanism in the original system.
Transferring the Master Data
A distinction is made between transferring the entire master data and transferring only changes to the master data.
If the entire master data is transferred, a master IDoc is created for the object to be distributed in response to a direct request from a system. Only the data that was actually requested is read and then sent. The customer specifies the size of the object to be distributed in a request report.
If only changes are transferred, the master IDoc is created based on the logged changes.
Reward points for the useful answers,
Aleem.

Error during DG data distribution

Hi SAP DG Experts,
I am configuring and testing DG data distribution from central EHS system to multiple ERP systems.
I am able to send the DG idoc and ERP system is receiving that.
But the DG data creation is failing and when I check DGp7 I can get an error message "data records were not save as no selection date was available".
Please let me know if you have come across this issue?
Thanks
PS

Dear Pugazendhi
to distrbute sucessfully DG master via ALE you need to disztrbute
a.) the phrases
b.) do a proper set up of receiver system
Check e.g.
Distribution (ALE) of Exceptions to Dangerous Goods Regulations - Dangerous Goods Management (EHS-DGP) - SAP Library

Master Variant with all payroll areas

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a Master variant for PC00_M40_CEDT which will reflect all the payroll areas at a time? My client is having 3 payroll areas now the client wants to execute the remuneration statement together for all.
Thanks in advance

Hi Akshay and Ravi,
i have small doubt, i have 3 payroll areas i.e
1) monthly p.a with pay date on 2nd of every month
2) weekly p.a with pay date on every 5th of every month
3) non payroll area which will be paid on 7th every month
how to palce all the three p.a in one payroll program ( RPCALCG0, GB) and PC_M08_CEDT ( Remuneration statement)
is it depends on the payday rules when we generate payroll periods i.e the pay frequency ( 2nd,5th,7th)
what is a varient and what is the use of creating a verient,and how to create a varient.
can u pl carify it, it's is very urgent.

View document in material master, Basic data 2 screen?

Hello gurus,
How to view a DIR assigned to material master - basic data 2?
According to help.sap.com:
Additional Function for Material Master Record:
In Customizing for the Material Master, you can define a standard document type by choosing Make Global Settings.
- Done this: assigned document type needed, created a DIR with that type and assigned it to a given material
Documents of this standard document type are displayed in the material master record, in the Basic data 2 view (Extras ® Document data).
- Information of the DIR can be seen in the main screen, no path Extras --> Document data (I know DIRs are shown behind menu path Additional data --> Documents)
You can display the original application files of a document (for example, an engineering/design drawing) directly from the object (for example, material) using a display application (viewer).
PROBLEM starts here: no icon or button to click in order to view the document although the help states so.
Any idea what should be done? Should I install a software of some sort to view? Assign it somehow with SAP? The document type here is doc (MS Word), so nothing special.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
BR,
Pipsa

Hello Sam,
Sorry, I think I described the problem inaccurately.
I could see the document already but for that I must follow the path Additional data --> Document data.
My core question was: Is there a means to allow a user to display the document directly in the screen Basic data 2 since system creates a new subscreen called Design documents assigned anyway?
It seems that the design documents assigned is for information purposes only. It would have been far better with usability to have the display icon in the main data.

Report to fetch the text information from customer master sales data

Dear Experts,
We have come up with a requirement where the business want a report/list of the customers for whom a particular text is not maintained in customer master -sales data.
There are many Z text id are configured and are maintained in Sales data- extras- text. In addition, business also need some key fields from the customer master such as name, city, delv plant, payment terms, sales off, sales grp etc.
I could not get any standard table where the text is maintained with the customer numbers. Table STXH can give the customer numbers for a particular text id type but what is maintained against the given text id is not fetched from the table.
So we need the valuable inputs to realize the requirement.
As an proposal, we are aiming to develop custom Z report with the FM READ_TEXT to get the text information with the customer no ( object type KNVV and text id ). But for the additional information, what should be the actual logic for fetching the data. say if this FM is used, what should be the sequence of the logic and ideal selection parameters.
In addition, we aim to use BAPI BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL2 to fetch some of the customer ifnormation but many fields are not found in this . can we use some other bapi which can provide the complete general/sales data of customer ( delv plant, sales off, sales grp, custo grp, incoterms, payment terms etc)
Kindly suggest accordingly.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Dharmendra Kumar,
I guess the best would be to check in ABAP General forum on the READ_TEXT sequence/ logic etc..
For customer details, the available BAPIs are:
BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL
BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL1
BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL2
However, you might have to check classes in SE24 to find any existing classes and its method yo give you all the information of a customer. Also check this thread: [BAPI for customer details like in IDoc DEBMAS;

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Master/Transaction data from ECC to APO-BW

Hi All,
     Normally we come across scenarios where Master/Transaction data is pulled from ECC to BW and then pulled into APO-BW. What are the pros and cons of CIF (direct connection between ECC and APo-BW) rather than pulling data from ECC to stand-alone BW and then into APO-BW?
Regards,
Joy

Hi Santhana,
If you want to add data of ECC to APO BW & Then in to DP, then follow the following Steps.
1. Create Generic Data Source in ECC for thet Sales Order table.
2. Replicate that data Source in to APO BW with Source System.
3. Create whole data flow process by using created Data Source.
    Data Flow Process: 1. Info Package
                                  2. Info Source
                                  3. Info Cube
                                  4. Transformation between DS & IS, Then IS & IC
                                  5. Data Transfer Process.
4. Load data from ECC to APO BW
5. Use transaction /n/sapapo/tscube, for copy Info Cube data to Planning Area.
Hope this will help you.

Sujay

What is the impact of using a variant data type on performance, speed memory demands etc?

This is another one of my "lets get this settled once and for all" threads.
I have avoided variant data types whenever possible to keep the performance of my apps up. From some observatsions i have made over the years, I am of the opinion that;
1) In-place operations can not be carried out on variants.
2) Passing a variant to a sub-VI (regardless of the terminal on the icon connector) are always copied.
I would like confirmation or correction of the above so we know more about this animal we call LabVIEW.
Thank you,
Ben

Solved!
Go to Solution.

A couple notes:
1. You can use the To/From Variant nodes for the Inplace Element Structure to operate inplace on the contained variant data. This should work just fine even if you have a big 2D array contained.
2. Variants are incredibly useful when you use them for Variant Attributes, rather than just storing data. The Variant Attribute implementation uses a binary tree to store the key value pairs, which provides quick insertion and lookup.
3. I don't work on the internals of LV, but I see no reason whatsoever that passing a variant into a subVI would always necessitate a copy. I could be wrong, but that sounds very odd to me.
However, I have generally started trending towards using flattened strings. Flattened strings are generally more efficient memory-wise, because they don't contain all the type descriptor information, just the raw data. (I think there's some exception when flattening LV Classes.) Variants always store the type descriptor, so even an empty variant can take up a bit of memory.
Variants received a big performance boost from 7.x to 8.x. They used to have a bad reputation, but I wouldn't be afraid to use them where applicable. I personally don't see a lot of benefits over flattened strings, though, except in the case of tools like the OpenG Variant INI files, which can dynamically parse out and construct variant types.

Master text data in Open Hub

Hi All,
I am working on BI 7.0 and am currently working on Open Hub. I have to extract data from a cost center infocube, but i also need to send the master text data for certain fields along with the infocube data into the file server.
Is this possible with open hub services,could someone please provide me with a step by step procedure to this one.
I have been following a similar thread
Nav. Attrib in Open Hub 04s
Please let me know if it was succefully implemented by someone.
Regards
Dipali

Hi Uppala,
Following are 2 approaches to achieve this
Approach 1:
1. Create info spoke which will extract data from cube to data base table (do not use file)
2. Create one more info spoke which will extract master data text to data base table (again do not use file)
3. Create join on both the data base tables.
4. Write a ABAP program which will create a file based on the joins of tables.
Approach 2 :
1. Create multiprovider on cube and master data info object
2. Create info spoke based on the multi provider, that will extract data to flat file
For 2nd approach u have to put certain filters to avoid unwanted rows

Billing Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration in SAP ISU

Hi Experts,
Please let me know, in ISU implementation project, what is Billing related Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration is done in SAP ISU system.
Thanks in advance

Pankaj,
There is no straight forward transaction to download the Configuration data and export it to a file.
However, you can use the BC set functionality to extract the IMG node with its contents.
Check the following SAP help portal link for more info on BC sets
Business Configuration Sets (BC-CUS) - SAP Library
The archive data that you are talking about; Is it master data or transaction data?
Also, what this data is related to-Financial Documents, Billing related info?
There is one standard transaction SARA through which based on the migration object you can archive the data and export it into a file in a particular location..
Hope it helps..
Thanks,
AB
