BI InfoObject Transformation / DTP

Good day all - I haven't posted a question in awhile, so here goes......
We have an InfoObject that requires a new load defined from a Flat File Source. We also have a DSO with the exact same technical name as the InfoObject. I defined the InfoObject as an InfoProvider in a different InfoArea than the DSOu2019s. When I created the transformation, it appeared correct connecting the Flat File data source to the InfoObject. But, when the DTP is created and executed to load data from the Flat File Data Source to the InfoObject, Manage shows the load as if (a) the load was to the like named DSO and (b) the loads was waiting to be activated (liked a normal DSO load).
The question is - Does anyone know of a work around to this other than to define the Data Source as a 3.5 object and create Update Rules and InfoPackages to load the InfoObject?

Thanks Venkatesh - the source and target for the DTP are correct. It is not until you run the load and then check Manage do you see the target being treated as a DSO. I can then use Manageru2019s Activation option to activate the master data but, if I try to use the Right Mouse Activate Master Data option, this results in an ABEND. Since I am not the warehouse administrator, I would prefer not to leave this ticking time bomb behind me after I turn over this development activity to the production support groups.

BI Load issue in the transformation/DTP after SP 17

Hello,
After SP 17 applied in our BI system, we are having load issue in one particular transformation/DTP.
See below the errors:
u2022 Messages for 101 data records saved; request is red acc. to
configuration
u2022 Thee is no active nametab in the system, although an active ABAP/4
Dictionary object was expected. Reactivate the ABAP/4 Dictionary object.
Also I have activated the DSO, transformation and DTP. Also I went to SE14 and try to adjust my DSO, SE11 and activate the table but still having the issue.
Can someone advise me on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks a lot.
Cesar

Hi,
Do the following: In BI, run transaction SE38 >> RSDG_CUBE_ACTIVATE to recreate the Metadata information
for the Info-provider.
Then execute another program via SE38: RSDD_RSTMPLWIDTP_GEN_ALL
See Note 1161940 and 1152453 for more details.

Transformation & DTP deactivated in source system

Hi,
I am trying to load the data from one BI System to another BI system. I am generating Export Data Source for that .
But the Issue is that when i am doing this, in the source system transformation & DTP got Deactivated.
Can any body tell why this happens?
( My source system is BI Production so it is not allowing me to do any changes)
Thanks in advance,
Vaibhav

Hi,
You might not be having Authorizations to edit the DTP and transformations in Production server.
If the production server is closed... run the program :RSDG_TRFN_ACTIVATE
Make sure to check out check sap note 1408161. For BW 7.0 it is SP25...
If your system is not having the SP25 its not possible to use the above mentioned program.
The other way is to re-import the DTP and transformation to Prodcution in new TR.

How to activate transformations/DTPs related a DSO all together?

Hi
In Bi, i am changing a DSO Description Name only but it invalidates all its associated transformations/DTPs. Then I need to activate all its Transformations/DTPs to activate one by one. Is there any way I could activate all its Transformations/DTPs alltogether.
Thanks.

Hi harpal,
There is no standard program given by sap to activate Transformations and DTP. you need to activate them manually.
for transformation you need to activate them manually or you need to create your own program to activate them.
Check the below link which shows a program to activate the Transformatins and DTP
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d02513b2-7fb6-2c10-3a8b-887fc115d61b?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
If your service pack is 25 and Bi 7.0 then there is a program to activate the Transformations
Got the below note which give the Program name which can be used to activate the Transformations.
Note 1408161 - Program for transformation activation
Program to activate transformations RSDG_TRFN_ACTIVATE
But the its available only from the BW 7.0 it is SP25.

InfoObject to InfoObject Transformation / Load another InfoObject

I have 2 Master data Info Objects (of same type and based on same Standard infoObject) , OBJ1 is loading master data from SYS1 and OBJ2 from SYS2... Can I combine them in another infoObject, lets say OBJ3 ? if so how?
What I want to do is to add a Prefix (by hard coding it in the transformation) to each of the data records, so when I finally have all the data in OBJ3 (combination of data from OBJ1 and OBJ2 ) the data records from SYS1 look like Prefix1_dataRecord1 and SYS2 look like Prefix2_dataRecord1 etc
Please let me know how this can be done, how do I make a transformation from one infoObj to load another infoObj (both have the same attributes etc, only that the one being loaded has a length of 12 and other have a length of 10, the extra 2 characters are the Prefix)
Many Thanks and I will say Thanks the SDN way for good or helpful answers.

Hi Niten
Thanks for your response, can you please mention the things I would need to consider when you say "may require an amount of planning and additional work"....
Secondly, I will Prefix with AA and BB so anything coming from SYS2 will be prefixed BB and SYS1 will be prefixed AA (so later if I add another system, I could prefix it with CC etc etc)
So according to above AA0123 will mean Apples and BB0123 will mean Oranges, and that will solve my problem... (I think)
The question remains that HOW can I load an InfoObject (OBJ3 with length 12 , 10 for OBJ1/OBJ2 and 2 for Prefix values) from the two other InfoObjects (OBJ1 and OBJ2 with lengths 10 )
I have found the Solution myself, and I am posting it so it might benefit someone else in the future...
Basically the keyword here is "Generate Export Datasource" .... Once the master data is loaded into OBJ1 and OBJ2, then we need to right click on the infoObject we want to send the data from... Additional Functions > Generate Export Datasource (do some reading on How this feature works, have a look in BI Content).... and then we need to create transformations with OBJ3 (use the exported DataSources of OBJ1 and OBJ2) and that's how we will be able to combine data (or get data from another InfoObject) into the desired infoObject (OBJ3 in my case).

Change of Infoarea causes inactive transformations & DTPs!?

Hi all,
what I'm trying to do is simple to move one DSO object from one InfoArea to another one. The result is that I do get inactive transformations and DTPs from and to this DSO object in the following system!
Is this a system bug? Did anybody also encounter this problem? (I guess I once had this issue with another customer and we opened up an OSS message at SAP but it's some time ago and I'm not anymore aware of what the result has been...SAP OSS doesnt provide any notes so far...)
I'm happy to receive your comments,
Best regards,
bivision

what I'm trying to do is simple to move one DSO object from one InfoArea to another one. The result is that I do get inactive transformations and DTPs from and to this DSO object in the following system!
What do u mean by in the following system ? After moving DSO to another infoarea, if u transport that DSO alone, then the related transformations and DTPs become inactive. Its quite common.
U should collect related transformations and DTP along with DSO/Cube.
Moving ODS from 1 AC to another AC ?

Transport having Transformations & DTPS errored out with RDDEXECL code 12

Hi Friends,
I am importing a Transport request containing Transfromations, DTPs from Dev to QC system and it is erroring out with Code 12 and error is as follows
Program terminated (job: RDDEXECL, no.: 19103500) See job log
When I looked at Job log i can see the folowing details

    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not

    procedure "IF_RSBK_TPL_OPTIONAL~SET_LOGSYS" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated
     by a RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
    access a component.
    An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
    before it can be used to access components.
    Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
    CLEAR statement.

Error during creating Transformation /DTP

Hi Gurus
We have two key figures with Fixed Unit of Measure and data type Quant . The unit is % .
We could create the Data Source successfully and when we create the Transformation , though I could see on the face of it the mapping for these key figures, it says No source unit is assigned and also no info Object is assigned for these fields.
How do we normally handle scenarios with fixed unit of measure key figures during transformation.'
Please share your thoughts
Points will be awarded

hi,
Assuming you are using NW04s, in your transformation, there is a section called "Unit", it would have shown your fixed target unit and the next line would have "Unit" and dropdown box, contains two options, "From Conversion" and "No conversion". If you select "No Conversion" in the "Unit" dropdown box, your error message should be gone, as your key figure quant has fixed unit, so no conversion is required which should do no harm during data transformation when loading. Please give it a go.
cheers.

Extracting from flat file for testing inplace of ECC(r/3)

Hi Expert,
Please help me out and give me your suggestion.
We are creating a custom table in ECC it is under progress.
I would like to create infoObject, transformation, DTP and Cube and create queries with loading info by flate file. Later on connection whole provider to table.
Give me suggestion is ther any problem for this Or any good opinion.
Thanks in Advance

Loading from a flat file for testing has worked well for me. We recently wanted to test an ODS object, but I didn't want to create a custom extracter until we knew if the ODS object would work for us. So under my infoSource I created a quick infopackage that pulled some test data from a flat file. We've loaded test data into cubes before. Only problem that I ever had was when I used Excel to create the flat file. Excel wants to truncate leading zeros. 0calmonth for example needs to be loaded as 072007 not 72007.

TRANSFORMATION AND DTP

Hi all,
I have two questions:
1. If I have a 3x datasource..can i still use Transformations and DTP's with it in BI 7.0?
2. I have a cube and know the datasources. Could some one give me the modelling steps that come next... i am using BI 7.0 and want to use Transformations and DTP.
Thanks

1. If I have a 3x datasource..can i still use Transformations and DTP's with it in BI 7.0?
Yes - you can.
2. I have a cube and know the datasources. Could some one give me the modelling steps that come next... i am using BI 7.0 and want to use Transformations and DTP.
data loading in BI 7.0 from fla file extraction.
fisrt create one Cube or DSO with the same structure which you have in flatfile..
and activate it..
->now comes to Datasource tab> create one Datasource here you need to select type of data for example.. select Transactional data --> and menntion your flatfile name in extraction tab- and file type and eneter your info object names in FIELDS tab --> and load preview data Activate it..
now select your datasource and create info package and schedule it.. now your data will loded in to PSA level...
> and now comes to info provider select your cube.. and right clcik it.. and create transformations.,. and activate it..
> and create DTP -- Activate it.. and Execute it..
1)Create datasource. Here u can set/check the Soucre System fields.
2)Create Transformation for that datasource. (no more update rules/transfer rules)
2.1) While creating transformation for DS it will ask you for data target name, so just assign where u want to update ur data.
DataSource -> Transformation -> (DTP)-->Data Target
Now if you want to load data into data target from Source System Datasource:
1) Create infopackage for that data source. If you are creating infopackage for new datasources, it will only allow you update upto PSA, all other options u can see as disabled.
2)Now Create DTP (Data Transfer Process) for that data source.
3) NOw schdule the Infopackage, once the data is loaded to PSA, you can execute your DTP which will load data to data target.
Data Transfer Process (DTP) is now used to load data using the dataflow created by the Transformation. Here's how the DTP data load works:
1) Load InfoPackage
2) Data gets loaded into PSA (hence why PSA only is selected)
3) DTP gets "executed"
4) Data gets loaded from PSA into the data target once the DTP has executed
Hope it helps..

How to load master data with text into infoObject in BI 7.0

Hi all;
I have an infoobject 0employee ( this is for employee number ,8 character long), with medium text option.
I would like to load Employee name as a text option for employee number.
How do I load this mater data into this 0employee object,
Please help.
I did look for something similar in the forum and there are many of them, but I couldn't find anything that for BI 7.0 and really clear help for me. Sorry to ask a question that been asked before.
thanks.
Raiine

hi rainnie,
check this link t oload master data in BI 7
Re: BI 7.0 flat File extraction
as you are using SAP defined infoobject you can start from the creation of datasource.
text format for the flat file is
LANGUAGE,INFOOBJECT,TEXT
EN,0EMPLOYEE,RAINNIE
You have to create ,infopakage, transformation ,dtp for both the attribute and text.
hope this helps
cheers

Creating a Master Data InfoObject: BI 7:

Good day again.
BI 7
On the Master data/Text tab when creating an InfoObject...
I have a question or 2:
(1) Should the tick for "InfoSource with Direct Update" be selected if I create the IO and using Transformations and DTP?
(2) If I only want to load MD to the InfoObject, should it be marked as "Character is InfoProvider"? I am asking this, becuase when I create the DTP, it requests that I select the InfoArea for the IO Infoprovider. Do you always have to load master data to and IO in BI7 to an InfoProvider as well?
Thanks in advance.
Cj

Hi.......
(1) Should the tick for "InfoSource with Direct Update" be selected if I create the IO and using Transformations and DTP?
Characteristic is an InfoSource with Direct Update": Means that the char itself will be the InfoSource. This is the case with majority BW InfoObjects and in this case you do not need update rules to load data to the InfoObject. Take a look on the InfoSource area of RSA1 and you will see many examples of such InfoObjects.Select this field and press F1............you will get the document........
(2) If I only want to load MD to the InfoObject, should it be marked as "Character is InfoProvider"? I am asking this, becuase when I create the DTP, it requests that I select the InfoArea for the IO Infoprovider. Do you always have to load master data to and IO in BI7 to an InfoProvider as well?
Yes.......This indicator shoul be set.....to use the characteristic as an infoprovider.........I mean creating transformation,DTP........But you cannot set this indicator directly..........But rather you can set it by entering infoarea into the respective field...................or after creating the infoobject go to infoprovider tab in the left........Choose the infoarea >> right click on it >> Insert characteristic as an infoprovider..........then this field will get ticked automatically and the infoarea also get automatically assigned.........
And only IO stores master data...............Infocube will never store master data.............DSO can sometimes store master data...........

DTP with short dump

Hi,
I cerated a Transformation & DTP...whick loads Master Data from a DS
I activated Transformations & DTP.
When i execute DTP it is giving me Short dump with MESSAGE_TYPE_X
The request is not being loaded to Infoobject
How can i fix this

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bw_whm/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d31303033313433%7d

What is DTP in BI 7.0 why is it used what are it advantages?

Hi all,
I am new to BI 7.0 why should we created DTP what is it significance. Can anyone let me know how to create DTP.
thanxs
haritha

In BI 7.0 if you load data from Source System it will go to PSA.This is still done by Infopackage.Here Infopackage can't push data beyond PSA .
so loading will be like
Source System>DataSource>Infopackage--->PSA.
Now once the data comes to PSA ,it can be further updated to a Cube a DSO or Infobject using a DTP+Transformation.
Here DTP and Transformation are parallel to each other .Each Transformation will have its dedicated DTP.Now whether your request is init or delta it will matter only while you are loading till PSA,so its only the concern of your Infopackage.DTP will not care much about that .Its main job is to push the request of the PSA to Target or to Push the request from One target to another target.So data flow is like this
PSA>Transformation+DTP->Target->Transformation+DTP>Target1
Now ,the important question is then what is Delta and Full in DTP.If you have setting as Delta in DTP then it will only pull the unloaded request from PSA and ignore the request which have been successfully loaded to the Target.It very important point to be taken care of.For loading between Data Target to Data Target (Data Mart scenario) delta option will bring only those records to Target1 from Target which have not been present there.
If you have full load DTP ,it will pull all the requests from PSA irrrespective of whether they have been loaded or not ,causing you sometimes duplicate records issue etc.
Please let me know if you have any doubts .

Rohan
