BPC NW 10.0 - Master data load

Hey guys have you tried the automatic master data load in BPC 10.0?
Would it be possible to perform a delta load for master data?
When you do a delata load whether the exisiting dimensions and properties will be overwritten or just add another column/row with new members and properties?
Please provide your thoughts.
Thanks a million

By automatic do you mean scheduled? If yes, you can schedule the 'Import Master Data Attrib and Text InfoObj' data manager package. The second prompt will ask if the process should 'Overwrite' or 'Update' (you can also modify the advanced script if you want to always update) Depending on what properties are you populating with your transformation file, those will be updated with what's in the source InfoObject. Assume for example the transformation file in the Mapping section is blank, you have ID '123' with description 'Test' in your dimension and ID '123' and description 'Test - changed' in BW, when the update runs the description will be changed from Test to Test - changed. All other IDs will be added to the dimension. Hope this makes sense.

Master Data loading in BPC 7.5 with prefix

Hi Gurus,
I need a help in master loading in BPC 7.5
Currently we are loading GL account with prefix of A and controlling area(COA1)
BI:0000600000
BPC: ACOA10000600000
I have maintained logic in the transformation file as below. Z001 represents the hierarchy Node.
ID=IF(ID(1:4)=STR(Z001) then STR(A)+ID;STR(A)0CO_AREAID)
Now client has came with new requirement as below
                           BI                   BPC
GL Acc               0000600000     A_600000
GL Node             Z00113            Z001_13
GL Node             Z00213            Z002_13
For the above requirement i have maintained the logic in the transformation file as below. when running master data load package i got the error as
Line 755 :Command failed ; end position is out of record index
ID=IF(ID(1:4)=STR(Z001) then STR(Z001_)+ID(5:12);STR(A_)+ID(5:12))
I need your help in modifying the logic in the transformation file for handling the above requirement.
And also for handling two hierarchy Z001 and Z002.
Thanks
Mahesh

Hi,
Your command should like:
ID=*IF(ID(1:4)=*STR(Z001) then *STR(Z001_)+ID(5:6);*STR(A_)+ID(5:10))
Hope this helps.

Master data loading in BPC NW 7.5

Hi all,
I am trying to load master data from BW into BPC using the packages provided in BPC7.5.
Master data infoobject in Bw is compounded with 3 other objects.2 of them dont have any master data tables.All they have is a text table(T table).
When i run the package i get a warning saying compounded object1 is empty.
i think i am getting the warning because it doesnt have any master data tables(P table,M table and Z table).
In a different case i had a compounded info object but i didnt have any issue because it had master data table to it.This case is diff since no master data tables exists.
Can someone help me on how to approach master data loading in a scenario where compounded objects dont have any master data tables.
Thanks,
Any help is appreciated.
KK.

Hi,
The document is for BPC when they didnt have the new process chains to load master data.Now they have 2 new process chains.One to load master data attributes and texts and the other one to load Hierarchy.And these 2 packages support compounded info objects too.
I was able to load profit center attr/texts/hierarchy into BPC although it was compounded to Controlling Area.This wasnt an issue because Controlling Area had master data defined. meaning it had P table and M table created.
But my issue is for this new master data load i am trying to do the compounded info object doesnt have master data tables.And thats causing an issue.It says Master data table for 0Division is empty.
I want to know if there is any workaround in BPC for this issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
KK

Process Dimension after BW to BPC Master Data Load

Hi All,
i'm looking for the way to process a dimension after master data load from BW to BPC (following the corresponding how to guide in BPC 7.5 NW). The new members are visible from BPC Administrator -> Mantain Dimension Members, but not visible in BPC for Excel after "Refresh Dimension Member".
New members are visible only if i process dimension from BPC Administrator , but I want this task to be automatic.
¿Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Enrique

Thanks for your reply,
I'm using Standard Process Chain IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER in BPC 7.5 NW SP03. I will open a Sap note.
As a quick solution, I found in SAP Help (is 7.0 but I suppose it's the same behaviour in 7.5) there is another Process Chain (ADMINTASK_MAKEDIM) that can be used to process a Dimension http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70sp02/helpdata/en/36/339907938943ad95d8e6ba37b0d3cd/frameset.htm. It has two parameteres ("Dimension Name" and "Input File"). Help says that if you leave "Input File" field blank, the dimension is processed, but it is mandatory field in package.
I have tried to modify package parameters but always appears an error with MEM_XML_PATH parameter in process chain.
¿Does anybody know how this package/process chain works?
Thanks again,.
Enrique

Master Data load does not extract Hierarchy nodes in BPC Dimension ACCOUNT

Hi Experts,
I am performing master data load through standard DM package with Filter selection as:
1. Chart of Accounts
2. Hieararchy selection has 4 hierarchy names
3. Selected Import Text nodes
4. Selected Set Filters by Attribute OR Hierarchies
I have run this DM package for a set of data and selections a week ago and it worked fine.
However when i run it now, it is giving issues,
It extracts any new GL maintained in the BI system however it does not extract any hierarchy nodes at all! (Have tested this by deleting the hierarchy nodes and tried to run the master data load)
I am running the DM package in Update and have selection as External.
Any sugestions for checks / has anyone encountered this issue earlier?
Regards,
Shweta Salpe

Hi Guyz,
Thanks.
I found that the issue was with the transformation file where i was maintaining the RATETYPE.
When i removed the mapping of RATETYPE this works fine. (Pulls the nodes of hierarchies)
however now i do not have Ratetype populated in the system.
my rate type mapping is:
RATETYPE=*IF(ID(1:1)=*STR(C) then *STR(TOSKIP);ID(1:1)=*STR(H) then *STR(TOSKIP);ID)
and in conversion file i have TOSKIP *skip
I have to skip the ratetypes for the hierarchy nodes and my hierarchy nodes start with C and H.
So now that i have removed the mapping for RATETYPE can anyone suggest me a correct way to achieve this? (Note the above mapping formula was skipping all of the hierarchy nodes starting with C and H)

Shweta Salpe

Hi,
i have followed your recomendation, but when i try to use the process /CPMB/MASTER_CONVERT, with the parameter TRANSFORMATIONFILEPATH and the root of the transformation file as value, i have a new problem. The value only have 60 char, and my root is longer:
\ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\APPXX\PLANNING\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\trans.xls
How can we put this root???

7.5 Hierarchy Master Data Load

Hi experts,
I am trying to load material masterdata with a hierarchy.
When I was loading my members I applied an attribute filter.
It loaded OK and loaded the hierarchy nodes ok.
Then as I went to load the hierarchy it gave me an error saying that "Hierarchy nodes include dimension members that do not exist"
When I checked through the log I could see that the "missing" members where all the ones that I had filtered out with the attribute filter.
But it seems the hierarchy load needs them?
Is there a way to apply the same filter in the hierarchy load? Or any other way around this?
Or can an attribute filter only be used if you are not loading hierarchies?
Thanks

Hi Joergen,
Thanks so much for your quick reply.
My problem is not that my nodes don't load. They do actually come through fine in my first master data load.
But then when I load the hierarchy BPC complains that the node I want to now create as parents has members that don't exist in BPC. These are basemembers, not nodes.
For example:
BW:
Parent A:
   Child A
   Child B
   Child C
BPC
I only load Child A and Child B because Child C does not meet the attribute filter
When I then load Parent A I get an error that Child C is missing?
Regardless I tried your method and it didn't work for me?
-First I loaded my members only with the attribute filter - no problem
-but then I put in a rubbish filter like you said and ticked to load the hierarchy nodes. When I choose the AND filter nothing is being loaded at all. when I choose the OR filter it loads everything (incl the members that I excluded in the first load)?
Did I understand that wrong?
Thanks
Sabine

Automate Master data loads in BPC7(MS)

I need to update dimension members in SAP BPC7 (MS) from an external source.
The source system for my current project is BW, but if you have done any automated master data loads from any other system or even from a "temp" table please post your solution or tips.
Thanks!
Mez

Hi Mezert,
Would like to chime in with some of the things I've learned about this process over 3-4 years I've spent with BPC/Outlooksoft:
-- Automating maintenance of the dimension/master data might be the biggest single weakness of the BPC solution on the MS platform. It's one of the big reasons that the Netweaver platform basically replaces DTS/SSIS and has more direct linkage to BI/BW cubes and master data (InfoCubes).
-- It is also one a very common issue and in fact, you will have to deal with what the old-timers in BI call "slowly-changing dimensions" at almost every client eventually. For instance, you have a list of proucts/materials that every so often someone adds an item to. ...Well, before you can enter anything for it in BPC, you have to add the dimension member, of course.
-- So far, this challenge has been met by bringing in specialist DTS/SSIS experts in most cases who can employ the special "Custom Tasks" and build one of these packages to run in an automated way to populate the tables inside SQL Server and then execute the Admin MakeDim task to process the cube/application.
-- Usually the development/testing/deployment of these solutions is a non-trivial undertaking. It can be done, but there are peculiar challenges.
-- One example of a challenge is what happens if you need a dimension with > 65,000 members? Well, it can be created and populated by a DTS package, however, when you check the package and the custom task from the old Outlooksoft stuff out, you see that it CLEARS the entire dimension table before re-filling it. ...Yep, it wouldn't allow an "Append" function to run.
-- A second example of a peculiar challenge is that unless you update the Excel Dimension Sheet, you will have to do all the updates in SQL Server Mgmt. Studio and really won't be able to touch the BPC Admin again for that dimension.
Apologies for such a long post, but this is a fairly significant issue and I have to do a lot of research to piece together some of these things. ...If anyone else has something to add as a best-practice, please post.

Master Data loading got failed: error "Update mode R is not supported by th

Hello Experts,
I use to load master data for 0Customer_Attr though daily process chain, it was running successfully.
For last 2 days master data loading for 0Customer_Attr got failed and it gives following error message:
"Update mode R is not supported by the extraction API"
Can anyone tell me what is that error for? how to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Nirav

Hi
Update mode R error will come in the below case
You are running a delta (for master data) which afils due to some error. to resolve that error, you make the load red and try to repeat the load.
This time the load will fail with update mode R.
As repeat delta is not supported.
So, now, the only thing you can do is to reinit the delta(as told in above posts) and then you can proceed. The earlier problem has nothing to do with update mode R.
example your fiorst delta failed with replication issue.
only replicating and repeaing will not solve the update mode R.
you will have to do both replication of the data source and re-int for the update mode R.
One more thing I would like to add is.
If the the delat which failed with error the first time(not update mode R), then
you have to do init with data transfer
if it failed without picking any records,
then do init without data transfer.
Hope this helps

Problem with Master Data Load

Dear Experts,
If somebody can help me by the following case, please give me some solution. Iu2019m working in a project BI 7.0 were needed to delete master data for an InfoObject material. The way that I took for this was through tcode u201CS14u201D. After that, I have tried to load again the master data, but the process was broken and the load done to half data.
This it is the error:
Second attempt to write record 'YY99993' to /BIC/PYYYY00006 failed
Message no. RSDMD218
Diagnosis
During the master data update, the master data tables are read to determine which records of the data package that was passed have to be inserted, updated, or modified. Some records are inserted in the master data table by a concurrently running request between reading the tables at the start of package processing and the actual record insertion at the end of package processing.
The master data update tries to overwrite the records inserted by the concurrently running process, but the database record modification returns an unexpected error.
Procedure
u2022     Check if the values of the master data record with the key specified in this message are updated correctly.
u2022     Run the RSRV master data test "Time Overlaps of Load Requests" and enter the current request to analyze which requests are running concurrently and may have affected the master data update process.
u2022     Re-schedule the master data load process to avoid such situations in future.
u2022     Read SAP note 668466 to get more information about master data update scheduling.
Other hand, the SID table in the master data product is empty.
Thanks for you well!
Luis

Dear Daya,
Thank for your help, but I was applied your suggesting. I sent to OSS with the following details:
We are on BI 7.0 (system ID DXX)
While loading Master Data for infoobject XXXX00001 (main characteristic in our system u2013 like material) we are facing the following error:
Yellow warning u201CSecond attempt to write record u20182.347.263u2019 to BIC/ XXXX00001 was successfulu201D
We are loading the Master data from data source ZD_BW_XXXXXXX (from APO system) through the DTP ZD_BW_XXXXX / XXX130 -> XXXX00001
The Master Data tables (S, P, X) are not updated properly.
The following reparing actions have been taken so far:
1.     Delete all related transactional and master data, by checking all relation (tcode SLG1 à RSDMD, MD_DEL)
2.     Follow instructions from OSS 632931 (tcode RSRV)
3.     Run report RSDMD_CHECKPRG_ALL from tcode SE38 (using both check and repair options).
After deleting all data, the previous tests were ok, but once we load new master data, the same problem appears again, and the report RSDMD_CHECKPRG_ALL gives the following error.
u201CCharacteristic XXXX00001: error fund during this test.u201D
The RSRV check for u201CCompare sizes of P and X and/or Q and Y tables for characteristic XXXX00001u201D is shown below:
Characteristic XXXX00001: Table /BIC/ PXXXX00001, /BIC/ XXXXX00001 are not consistent 351.196 derivation.
It seems that our problem is described in OSS 1143433 (SP13), even if we already are in SP16.
Could somebody please help us, and let us know how to solve the problem?
Thank for all,
Luis

Error in Setting lock for Master Data Load

Hi Team,
I encounter the following error while uploading the Masterdata
"Lock NOT set for: Loading master data attributes
Attributes of characteristic 0BPARTNER are locked by terminated change run 465451241"
I Performed the following steps
1) Checked if any active jobs (change run jobs) running in the system. But no jobs running.
2) RSATTR->infoobject list-> no infoobject found
3)Tried after sometime ,but load continue to fail
Could anyone help to solve the problem
thanks
Bala

Hi Bala,
Check in SM12 if there are any locks exist with the change run number?
First check if there are any Master data loads running related to it?
Check in the Attribute change run screen if there are any change run steps are running?
Once after checking the above if no locks exist and no master data is running then check the below steps
1. Run RSA1 transaction
2. Tools -> Apply Hierarchy/Attibutes Change(or direct transaction RSATTR)... menu option
3. Click at "Monitor and Start terminated Change Runs" button (at the bottom of the screen)
4. Click "Reset Status" button at Run ID 465451241
NOTE: this is not recommended, to unlock the locks better to wait till the locks get relased.
If still the error message persists then we can use a FM in se37 in serious cases which was not recommended by SAP...
Use RSDDS_AGGR_MOD_CLOSE in se37 and execute--->there give ur failed change run no(465451241) beside I_CNSID and execute...
It releases all the locks by that change run....and continue with your further work/jobs...

KP

R/3 Master Data Load Error

Hi Experts
Our master data load from R/3 to BW was failed today.
This is the error message on status Tab of failed request
Diagnosis
No IDocs could be sent to the SAP BW using RFC.
System response
There are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of the SAP BW.
Further analysis:
Check the TRFC log.
You can get to this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".
Removing errors:
If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is completely connected to the SAP BW. Check especially the authorizations of the background user in the source system.
I navigated through Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system"
In R/3 i got the following error
timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThS
#Timeout during connect
How shall i proceed now.
Thanks

Hi,
Check the RFC connection between R3 and BW. Use transaction SM59 for the same or take help from the BASIS team.
If that is correct check the EDI partner profiles, if they are active and functioning properly. You can take BASIS help here.
Cheers,
Kedar
