BPC 7.5 NW: Import master data and Hierarchy from BI

There is a HTG about Import master data and Hierarchy from SAP NT BW, the BPC cost center master data's property have corresponding attribute InfoObject 0COSTCENTER of BW.
what about for those properties which do not have corresponding attribute in BW? I would asume that START_ROUTINE and END_ROUTINE will do this in BPC side, can we also do this on BW side instead of BPC side?

Hi,
You can check this in start routine which can be called from Transformation file using BADI.

Upload Master data and hierarchy from BW to BPC : Account Hierarchy

Hello,
I know that you all are aware the property "ACCTYPE" is not available in BW for Account master data.
The requirement here is to load master data and hierarchy for Account dimension from BW to BPC. Can anyone suggest the best approach to populate the priperty "ACCTYPE" in the account dimension member sheet in BPC during this automated load process?
Thanks and regards,
RJ

Sure,
For exemple:
Assume that your infoprovider is 0COSTELMNT and you'll fill the ACCTYPE with the attribute 0CSTELMNTYP. (It's just a exemple).
In the transformation file, in the mapping field you just map the attribute to the property.
*OPTIONS
*MAPPING
ID=ID
ACCTYPE=0CSTELMNTYP
SCALING=*str(Y)
RATETYPE=*str(AVG)
IS_INPUT=*str(Y)
*CONVERSION
You can also, define a hardcode for any property.
F.E: ACCTYPE=*str(EXP)
I hope this can help you.

Issues with loading master data and hierarchy from BI InfoObject

Hi,
I was successful with loading the master data from BI InfoObject. It copies the text node as well but it discards the space I have in the technical name when it copies it to BPC. For example if my Text Node technical ID is "NODE 1" it copies it as "NODE1" on BPC side because of which my hierarchy load fails as it is not able to find "NODE 1".
What is the reason it deletes the space from technical ID? and how can I resolve this issue?
Do we have a provision to write a ABAP exit where I can check?
(PS: If i manuallay enter space on my BPC dimension the hierarchy loads successfully)
Thanks in advance,
Diksha.

How to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems

HI all,
how to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems.
Please explain the steps.
Thanks,
cheta.

HI,
Its normally done following: Transferring the master datasources in RSA5 to RSA6 and then replicating the DS into BW and assignment of DS to Infosource and cretaion of Infopackage and load it into the master tables.
Generally, the control parameters for data transfer from a source system are maintained in extractor
customizing. In extractor customizing, you can access the corresponding source system in the source
system tree of the SAP BW Administrator Workbench by using the context menu.
To display or change the settings for data transfer at source system level, choose Business
Information Warehouse → General Settings → Maintaining Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
Note: The values for the data transfer are not hard limitations. It depends on the DataSource if these
limits can be followed.
In the SAP BW Scheduler, you can determine the control parameters for data transfer for individual
DataSources. You can determine the size of the data packet, the number of parallel processes for
data transfer and the frequency with which the status IDocs are sent, for every possible update
method for a DataSource.
To do so, choose Scheduler → DataSource → Default Settings for Data transfer.
In this way you can, for example, update transaction data in larger data packets in the PSA. If you
want to update master data in dialog mode, smaller packets ensure faster processing.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks,Ramoji.

Master data and Hierarchy load based on property

Hi,
My GL account FSV looks like this in ECC:
Node 1
   a/c 100
   a/c 200
Node 2
   a/c 100
   a/c 200
Node 1 accounts are all debits (so debit flag is checked for them).
Node 2 accounts are all credits (so credit flag is checked for them).
The same comes in BW.
When I am pulling it in BPC, it is saying that a/c 100 and a/c 200 has different parents.
I want to create two new accounts for each i.e. 4 in total
credit_100
credit_200
debit_100
debit_200
Need some help in writing the conversion logic for these.
Basically, we have to look at the property (debit/credit) and then assign a/c100 either to credit_100 or debit_100.
same for a/c 200.
Please advise at earliest.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use the mapping section of the transformation file for this purpose. It should be something like:
*COL(5) + *Str(_) + *COL(1)
I am considering that the 5th column of your file is the property. The 1st column is the ID.
Please take a look at the below link for more information:

SAP BPC 7.5: Master Data and Hierachiy Load from InfoObject

Hallo Forum Participants,
I am going to load Master Data from a "Clarity" Reporting Tool in BW to SAP BPC 7.5 via Process Chains (/CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER, /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER) delivered from SAP.
These Process Chains load the Master Data and Hierarchies from an InfoObject. To find out more about Ticking of BPC I have performed a following test. So, on BPC Admin Interface I have duplicated the Dimension u201CAu201D and called it as Dimension u201CBu201D (in BW site InfoObject u201CAu201D and u201CBu201D). In the Member Sheet of Dimension u201CBu201D I have implemented the several changes und tried to load Master Data from BW namely from infoObject u201CBu201D into BPC Dimension u201CAu201D. Therefor I created a transformation file and mapped one for one IDu2019s. The data Manager started these chains, but resulted nothing (Status: red X).
What are the features of BPC InfoObjects in Comparision with regular InfoObject?
How can I load Hierarchies into InfoObject?
What else I must take into account?
Why does not work this simple test?
Regards.
Alisher
Edited by: Alisher Babaev on Jan 6, 2012 1:59 PM

Hallo pkrishna,
so it is successed with master data load, but without hierachiies.
My Master Data Properties on Dimension Sheet are:
-ID
-EVDESCRIPTION
-PARENTH1
-CURRENCY
I have mapped as below:
ID=ID
CURRENCY=/CPMB/CURR
/CPMB/CURR- my technical id in BW.
In the Note you advised transformation file has been mapped like below:
-NODENAME=NODENAME
-HIER_NAME=HIER_NAME
-PARENT=PARENT
-ORDER=ORDER
After executing of package i get whether rejected list or log file. No data can be retirieved from InfoObject.
Have you any Idea?
regards

Update and Overwrite Option in Import Master Data Package

Hello,
In the package Import Master Data there is the option "Select method for loading master data". I don't understand very well what is the difference between the "Update" and "Overwrite" option. I have tested both and I get the same result.
Can someone explain to me what is the difference between both options ?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Option overwrite: all properties are overwritten. If they are not maintained in the source file, they will be deleted in the member sheet
Option update: only the properties maintained in the source file are overwritten. The other ones are not changed.

Import master data BPC 10

Hello,
I want to import dimension members from a flat file in BPC 10
However, only the ID property is validated in the transformation file.
This is an extract of my mapping section:
BYPASSLCINCTRLS=*COL(5)
CURRENCY=*COL(6)
ISELIMINATIONENTITY=*COL(7)
Problems:
1. How do I format the default properties having spaces and lower cases?
2. The transformation file validation says that he does not recognize 'Description', nor 'DESCRIPTION, nor "Description"
3. I encounter the same problem with other attributes
4. Which package to use? There is "Import MD attr and Hier from text file" and Import Desription"
     What with ID's? Can you load ID + Description + attrib in one?
Thx!
Dieter
Edited by: Dieter Govaert on Nov 15, 2011 12:18 PM

Hi Dieter ,
Answer to some of your question :
The transformation file validation says that he does not recognize 'Description', nor 'DESCRIPTION, nor "Description"
Please try : EVDESCRIPTION
The correct package to be used is : "Import MD attr and Hier from text file"
ID is the name of the dimension you are loading.
Example:
ID     EVDESCRIPTION              ACCTYPE
BS214     Account 214                        ABC
BS215     Account 215                    ABC
BS216     Account 216                        ABC
BS217     Account 217                    ABC
*MAPPING
ID=ID
EVDESCRIPTION =*NEWCOL(Test)
ACCTYPE =*NEWCOL(INC)

Purpose of Update/Overwrite Hierarchy in Import master data package

Hi All,
Please let me know what is the difference in update and overwrite option in import master data package. Here when i tried running the package, both the option are altering the hierarchy of existing member.
My requirement is just to add a new member ID, if it already exist it should not affect those records and only update the new master data records.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramanathan

Hi Ramanathan,
You can run Import Master Data DM package in BPC to perform delta master data load. While you run DM package you get option to load Master Data from BW/BI where you can select:
1. MERGE: this will keep old data intact and also load new master data, and
2. COPY and REPLACE: This will copy new data and delete old master data.
As per your requirement, you need to select the First option. If you select Update option then it will not delete old master data, instead update the members and hierarchy according to the parent-children design which you would have given in the dimension membersheet.
Hope this corresponds to your requirement.
Rgds,
Poonam

Selection Set - Import Master data (prompt selection)

Hello Gurus,
When we run the package "Import Master data from NW infoobject" using data manager in BPC
we have options to select ,Infoobject ,write mode ,format ,transformation file and Dimension ,all of this we can use the answer prompt and provide the inputs using UJD_TEST_PACKAGE and automate it.
Now i want to also provide the inputs of "SET SELECTION" tab available on the package which are below ,so how to automate
Attribute ,Hierarchy ,Language ,Attribute List
in the prompt file in the UJD_TEST_PACKAGE
Thanks

Hi Peter,
You can trigger a BPC load from back end too. For that you need to create variants for the program UJD_TEST_PACKAGE or create a custom program depending on the requirement and then create variants( for example to load cost center master data, create a variant for 0COSTCENTER ) for it. The values for the variant{as already mentioned by Gersh} would be the text enclosed in square brackets after you run a Data Manager Package manually and then view details of the status.
Steps are:
1) Goto SE38
2) Enter the program UJD_TEST_PACKAGE or the custom package
3) Create a variant for the required master data/hierarchy load.
4) Enter the details of variant by using the details after you have manually run a data manager package.
You can test the package and include it in your pc's too.
Thanks,
Vinay

Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager

Dear Experts,
I have two questions regarding the data manager.
Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
My image of csv file is like below;
ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
(I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)
reference:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/86/8b1bfc12c94fb0b585cca70d6f1b61/content.htm
Thanks in advance for your help.
Fumi

Hi Fumi,
In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...
Best Regards,
Patrick

SAP BPC 7.5 SP 7 - Master Data Load Detected duplicate member ID

Hi Gurus I have a requirement.
I am loading the Master data for Cost Center - initially while loading master data i didnot load hierarchy. Now I started to load the Master data with Hierarchy but when ever I tried vailidate the transformation file then it is throwing the "Detected Duplicate member "
Let me show you the transformation - what I wrote there
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = YES
DELIMITER = TAB
*MAPPING
ID=ID
*CONVERSION
ID=Master_Data_Conversion.xls
Conversion Master_Data_Conversion.xls has the following code this is to remove the spaces EXTERNALINTERNAL
*js:%external%.toString().replace(/\s+/g,"")
Let me show you how I have selected the Data type - Master Data /text from NW BW Infoobject
Selection of infoobject - 0costcenter
Format - External Format
Set Selection - first Tab - Attribute I only wante the Control Area which is 1000 so - Control Area = 1000
2nd Tab - Hierarchy - Import Text node - yes Hierarchy node - xxxxxxx Version - Empty Member ID - first member Level - Blank
3rd Tab Language - English
4th Tab Attribute list - Controling Area only is selected
Note: Let me tell you that when I am loading the Master data with out Hierarchy inthe Set Selection the loading is succesful but when I am doing it with the Hierarchy as mentioned in the 2nd Tab I am getting the error as following.
Master data (dealt by table level) has errors
Detected duplicate member ID '201100'
Also, the Master data for Cost Center in the BW is a time dependent so it is having Valid to and Valid from fields which is not there to be delt in the BPC.
Please Help

@Vinay let me tell you when the BW is having the master data which is time dependent then it will have this Duplicate member as we will have duplicate cost center names which are compounded with the Time, so BW will not show an error as there is compounding but BPC do not have that feature.
The was raised with SAP and they resolved this issue.
SAP Note 1641529 - Loading Master Data gets duplicate error in special case
When running Data Manager Package 'Loading Master Data from BW
InfoObjects', 'Duplicate Members are found' error may be reported in below
case:
o In the source BW InfoObjects, there are master data that have
different lengths, and their IDs are all numeric characters. And
o If the members are sorted by their lengths first and then IDs gets
a different order compared with the one if they are sorted directly
by their IDs. Take member '122' and '1101' for instance. In BW,
they are sorted as [122, 1102]; if they are sorted directly by the
IDs, the order is [1102, 122]. And
o when running the package, the members are in both 'Attribute' and
'Hierarchy' selection, and the option Filter members by Attributes
or Hierarchies is used. And
o Select 'External Format' when running the package.
Other terms
DM, Loading Master Data from BW, Duplicate Members
Reason and Prerequisites
It's a program error.
Solution
Please apply this note or upgrade to SP11.
I hope this will help you else let me know the entire requirements so that I can provide some kind of assistance.
Do check how the master data in ur BW is then how the hierarchy nodes and costcenter nodes are there?
Good Luck

Diff B/W master data and transaction data

Hi all,
What is the main Diff B/W master data and transaction data. give me some example ?
Thanks in Advance
Krish...

hi krish,
MASTER Data is the data that exists in the organization like employee details, material master, customer master, vendor master etc. These are generally created once.
Master data are distributed throughout the company, they are often not standardised and often redundant. As a result it is very costly to offer efficient customer service, keep track of supply chains and make strategic decisions. With SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) these important business data from across the company can be brought together, harmonised and made accessible to all staff and business partners. As a key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity via all IT systems.
Regardless of the industry, companies often work with different ERP and Legacy systems. The result: the business processes are based on information about customers, partners and products which is displayed in different ways in the systems. If the data are recorded manually, there are more inconsistencies: some data sets are entered several times, others cannot be retrieved by all divisions of the company.
As corporate applications are becoming increasingly complex and produce ever greater amounts of data, the problem is intensified further. Nevertheless, your employees must work with the inconsistent data and make decisions on this basis. The lack of standardised master data easily leads to wrong decisions, which restrict efficiency and threaten customer satisfaction and profitability.
In a word: in order to save costs and ensure your companys success it is necessary to consolidate master data about customers, partners and products, make them available to all employees beyond system boundaries and use attributes valid company-wide for the purpose of description.
TRASNACTION Data - These are the business documents that you create using the master data - Purchase orders, sales orders etc

Issue with import master data from BW info object using DM

Hi All,
We have master data loads on weekly basis.
One of them, product master data is loaded from 0material using DM package.
While loading the attributes we exclude couple of Products based on the attributes (say Product sub family)
ex - Having conversion file which excludes product sub family - ML. so all the products under that sub family are excluded from the load.
Hierarchy load - How can we skip the products which are excluded during attribute run?
For the first hierarchy load, we copied all the product ID which are part of product sub family - ML and entered in conversion file "NODENAME" and "PARENT" to skip.
But during the subsequent runs, whenever we have a new product under Family ML the hierarchy job fails. Attached the error. we then manually enter that product to be excluded in the hierarchy load and the job runs fine.
Is there a way to automate this process.
Version - BPC 10 SP 17 .NET 3.5
Appreciate any thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance/
Raghu

Thanks for your response.
We are currently using the first option you have mentioned. But the problem is when we have new product coming in BW (which is part of attribute we skip while loading attributes from BW to BPC) we manually need to add that product to skip in hierarchy conversion file also.
As i can see, the selection option to skip is available only while loading the attributes but not for hierarchy load.
Please correct me if am wrong.
Regards,
Raghu
