BAPI to upload marketing attributes to BP

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement in which I need to create a BP first and then add marketing attributes to it.Right now I am using FM CRM_MKTBP_CHANGE_BP .But the performance is very poor and it is taking a lot of time.Is there any standard BAPI
which has better performance.

Raghu.

Uploading Marketing Attributes

Hi Experts,
We need to upload Marketing Attributes to the new system
Component version SAP CRM ABAP 6.0.
Please suggest the ways to do the same. BAPI's / Upload FMs./ LSMW etc??.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have looked into your query.
Kindly check the notes 609236 and 1081545.
After implementing the notes, you can use Idoc CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE via LSMW and you can import the marketing attributes into the CRM system.
In LSMW, there is a process called Idoc Input method by which you can be able to import the marketing attributes into the system.
I hope this helps.

How to upload marketing attribute to a BP

hi,
i am having nearly 5 million BP and i want to assign a marketing attribute to each BP with a different Value. I tried this one with the LSMW but i couldn't succeed. Can any one Suggest me how to upload?

Hi Prabhakar,
Try to use the FM "CRM_IC_SCRIPTING_MKTBP_CHANGE" which will internally call the FM "CRM_MKTBP_CHANGE_BP". This should help.
Reward points if it helps!!

Hi Ankush,
You will need to ensure that all customizing is also subscribed to the MSA clients.
Customizing Publications:
1 Customizing Objects
2 Customizing Objects II
3 Customizing Objects III
4 Customizing Objects (Mobile Client specific)
5 Customizing Mobile Client specific from R/3
6 Business Transaction Customizing
7 Classification - for getting the Customizing for marketing
   Attribute Sets/Attributes/Values
Then check if the data is now in the IDES and/Or CDB.
Refer to the SAP notes 591186 and 591183
First, an initial download is required in order to distribute the
data from CRM Online to the clients. The corresponding tables in the CDB
must be empty
Tables: SMOCABN, SMOCABNT, SMOCAWN, SMOCAWNT, SMOKLAH, SMOKLAT,
SMOKSML, SMOSWOR, SMOKSSK, SMOAUSPH, SMOAUSP.
You must also use the Admin console to 'de-assign' the following
subscriptions:
Classification, Marketing profiles values by Business Partners,
Marketing profiles values by Contacts, Marketing Profiles by Business
Partners, Marketing Profiles by Contacts
Then download the following business objects in the specified sequence
    1. DNL_CHAR
    2. DNL_PFTPL
    3. DNL_MKTPROF
    4. DNL_CHARVAL

Attach marketing attributes to the relationship

Hi guys,
I have the following problem and would really apreciate your thoughts on this.
I want to attach my marketing attribute "invitation" to the relationship, because I have the constellation, that Joe is CP for company A,B and C. When I assign "invitation" to the CP Joe and use the segment Builder, I get Joe three times with the addresses for company A,B,C, but I only want to send the invitation to Joe working for A. So I am thinking that attaching the marketing attribute to the relationship between A and Joe would be a good solution. However, CRM5.0 doesn't offer this. Any idea how it could be done? Or if SAP is planning someting like this for CRM6.0?
Thanks for your help

Amit,

Default marketing attribute not assigned by BAPI.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I am creating Person type BPs in CRM from
XApps. I am using the standard bapis for this purpose.
In CRM, I have created a Marketing attribute set. I have made this
marketing attribute set default for Person type BP.
When I create a new person type BP in SAP GUI, this Marketing Attribute
set is getting assigned to the BP.
However , when I create a person BP using the
BAPIs 'BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA' and 'BAPI TRANSACTION COMMIT', the
BP is created but the marketing attribute set is not getting assigned.
I think the configuration should work in both the cases.Please let me know whether I am missing out something.
Thanks,
Samrat..

Hi,
i am trying to upload characteristics data for class using BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE module. Now when people who knows this function module ,they must be knowing that we have 3 tables there for Char data,numeric data and currency data. Now when i upload the data from excel sheet in to SAP ,i put space in some of the cell with numeric data type but this function module put 0 in those characteristics instead of space.Now user want to see space there instead of 0. Is there any way around to have space rather than 0.
i am updating the customer classification with the function module BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE:
call function 'BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE'
exporting
objectkey = w_objkey
objecttable = 'KNA1'
classnum = w_classnum
classtype = '011'
keydate = sy-datum
tables
allocvaluesnumnew = i_ze_valnum
allocvaluescharnew = i_ze_valchar
allocvaluescurrnew = i_ze_valcurr
return = i_return.
call function 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
exporting
wait = c_x.
In addition, I am checking with ENQUEUE_EXKNA1/DEQUEUE_EXKNA1 whether or not the customer master is locked before executing the code above.
Thanks&regards,
Naresh

Marketing Attribute Upload

Hi Experts,
Can you suggest how can we upload the Marketing attributes in bulk for Business partners. I had tried this using ELM, but its allows only upload data for each Attribute SET, My requirement is to upload more than one attribute set with their various attributes values.
Please help .
Regards
Arun Kumar

Hello Arun,
All the BP's to which you want to assign the attribute set needs to be put in a target group. After that please use the report CRM_MKTBP_BPS_OF_TG_ASSIGN_ATT which will assign the attribute sets along with the attribute value. I hope this helps.

Data upload for Marketing Attributes.

Hi experts,
We have a requirement to create Marketing Attributes for Business partners. In our current roll-in the number of records are expected to be about 1000000 records. (1 Million). For the pilot roll-in we had about 300000 records and we wrote a custom program and used the FM CRM_MKTBP_ASSIGN_ATTRIBUT_TAB to update the records. Now that the data quantity is almost tripled, is there any different approach to load this?
We are now going to upgrade to CRM 7.0.
In the prev version the standard IDOC that we use to load BP does not contain any segment structure for Marketing attributes. Hence we would like to know how to approach such a huge volume? If it is through IDOCS we felt we can go for parallel processing, but I have not done it before. so my questions are:
1.Is there a standard IDOC in 7.0 version to load Marketing Attributes?
2.If yes, does parallel processing improve the performance of the data load?
3.If there is no standard IDOC then what will be the best approach for this data volume?
4.Should we still continue to use CRM_MKTBP_ASSIGN_ATTRIBUT_TAB?
Eagerly looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Balaji

Hi,
Thanks for the Reply, Could you provide details about the external List management with the document if any, in order to proceed further.
Thanks in advance

Populating CRM marketing attributes using the APD

Hi Experts
We are having problems with populating CRM marketing attributes using the APD. When we run our process we get the error message:
CRMBW_ATTR_WRITE005: Error when processing function module CRMBW_UPDATE_BPMKT_5. Message no. RSAN_MDL024
As you can see, we are using the new function module CRMBW_UPDATE_BPMKT_5 since the old CRMBW_UPDATE_BPMKT did not work either.
Do we have to add a reference to a infoobject in transaction CRMBWTARGETS? We have not done this because the marketing attribute in CRM doesnt have decimals and all the objects in BI have. Could this be the cause of the error?
Kind regards
Erik

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for quick reply.
I have already followed the procedure you have described. Since there is not common objects between ODS and Bpatner infoobject, i am not able to do mapping.
for eg. my ZBPARTNER infoobject has attributes like zfooty, ztennis and zrugby but my ODS has char name , char value, counter for multiple values infoobjects.
I am following the example in the demo content to work out the process but could not understand how the data is getting uploaded from ODS to Business partner.

Mass creation of Marketing attributes under attribute set

Hi All,
Please let me know if there is a possibility for mass creation of Marketing attributes and marketing attribute sets in SAP CRM Standard functionality.
I am not talking about below " creation & assignment to BPs using the expert tools. "
CRMD_PROF_CHAR Create/Change Marketing attribute/set
CRMD_MKTDS Create datasource/attributre list
Create marketing attribute and maintain in Business Partner.
CRMD_MKT_TOOLS you can use this to delete/assign mass marketing attributes to BP.
we can go for a BDC program, But I want to keep that as a last option.
Please help and suggest me if there is any standard way of creating or uploading the Mass Marketings attributes in CRM system.
Regards,
karthik J

This functionality can be achieved through ELM (External list management)

Marketing attributes creation/update from ELM

Hi Experts.
A small question regarding the external list management.
I have created a mapping format with some marketing attributes I want to create/update for a certain business partner. This works fine in the sense that the system is fully capable of updating if there already exist a marketing attribute of the same type for the BP, and create if there is none already.
Also, if the marketing attribute I try to upload allows multiple value, the system is clever enough just to add an additional and not overwrite the existing. So, this part is fine:-)
The issue arises when I want use the mapping format for marketing attributes and leave some columns blank (= I have a standard format I use, but for some BP's, I do not want to upload all marketing attributes, only some in the format). When I try to upload this, I get an error message saying the the value blank is not allowed for a certain marketing attribute. This is true, but I find it rather stupid if the system cannot simply ignore the blank entries in a file, since I would then need to create a new mapping format for every single BP!
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can see that it is possible to add code for every single field in the mapping format, so I was thinking to write a small piece of code that the system should ignore the values that are blank. Have anyone tried this?
Thanks and Regards, Mia

Indeed this is something we encountered as well.
Possible work around (we implemented like this, you can't leave ELM file field blank but upload fake value) is creating a fake value for your attribute (for example: " not yet maintained", "to be filled in"). In that way a BP is made with attribute but with no "real" value... to your business to deside if this is an acceptable way of working!
Kind regards,
Francis

Marketing attributes for a business partner

Hi,
how can I input marketing attributes for a business partner with a BAPI?
Or can I use BATCH-INPUT (the transactions is "BP")?
Thanks and best regards.

Hi JoJo,
I don't know about LSMW. But I have done something similar in a program by calling the following function module in a loop for each of the business partner:
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_MKTBP_CHANGE_BP'
      EXPORTING
        IV_PROFILE_TEMPLATE_ID = lv_attribute
        IV_PARTNER             = lv_partner
      TABLES
        IT_IMP_SELTAB          = lt_attr
        ET_RETURN              = et_return.
Here you can provide the attribute set in lv_attribute
and business partner in lv_partner. lt_attr contains all the attributes (name and value).
Example:
    ls_attr-atname = 'Z_CUST_TEAM_ASSGN'.
    ls_attr-atwrt = 'Test Team'.
    APPEND ls_attr to lt_attr.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Chandrika

URGENT: How to remove the assignment of marketing attributes for an BP

Hi Guys,
In my project we are maintaining two marketing attributes for all the business partners.
But there is a need now based on some condition we want to remove one of the assignment for the BP (I.e which ever BP matching certain condition written in my BP upload program)..
I dont want to remove this manually using the transaction codes or the segment builder
Is there any function module to remove the assignment of the marketing attribute for the BP which i can use in my upload program
Would appreciate an early reply since it is very urgent...
Regards,
Sundar

Hi Sundar,
Most Easier approach is to code a BDC based on trasaction : CRMD_PROF_BP. in the search field pass BP ID, you will get the BP attributes and you can delete it their and then.
Save.
Data is back in Database.
All will happen in BDC in background.
Else you can use
FM 'CRMT_MKTBP_WRK' to delete the assignments.
This is the basic FM called to delete marketing attributes assignment.
