BPS and attributes change

Hi,
I'm currently working on BI-IP with planning function "Repost on Basis of Characteristic relationship" and it works well but i would like to know if there's something like this in BPS.
Some old projects are in BPS and there are some derivation by characteristic relationship. In BPS if an attribute changed from the last writing a new line is created with the new value but i don't think there's another line to cancelled the fisrt one (line with old attribute value).
I hope someone can find an issue for my question.
Raito.

After few test with BPS it doesn't work like BI-IP.
Let's take an example to be sure we speak about the same thing.
I've got a Web Interface for the input where we need to fill one Order Number with an Amount. On my Planning Area, there's a derivation by characteristic relationship for profit center (attribute of Order Number).
I fill my interface with Order Number A and an AMount of 10.
In my cube i have something like :
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount  = 10
If my master data changed and my new profit center for Order number A is AB. If i changed my data in the input with the value 20, in my cube i've got something like :
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount  = 10
Order number = A / Profit Center = AB / AMount  = 10
For me it's not good because i need to have 20 in my profit center AB and 0 in AA like how it works with BI-IP and planning function "Repost with characteristic relationship". SO i need to have 3 lines in my cube
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount  = 10
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount  = -10
Order number = A / Profit Center = AB / AMount  = 20
I hope it's clear ...

  • Small confusion about aggregates and attribute change run.. plz explain

    hi bw experts,
    i am having a small confusion regarding the aggregates and attribute change run.
    as far as in know if there is any new master data loaded, then we will activate it by context menu on the particular info object and select the option activate master data.
    the second one is going to tools--?apply hierarchy/attribute change run option.
    my doubt is is the attribute change run related to aggregates is yes then how,.?
    appreciated if you plz help me in detail both these concepts and wherther there is any connection between them.
    thanks & regards.

    Hi Vijay sagar,
    ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN:
    1)It's used after you change (add/delete/modify) attribute in the master data. You've to make it in order to have an effect after you modify it.
    2)Once the master data has been loaded, the hierarchy/attribute change run is performed. Once this process chain has been ended correctly, master data and texts are available in an active format in SAP BW.
    To get it :
    1. tcode : RSA1.
    2. Tools -> Apply Hierarchy/Attribute Change
    3. tap on Info-object list button (checking what master data you've modified before).
    4. tap on selection button for type of job
    5. Execute.

    AGGREGATES:
    1)Aggregates make it possible to access InfoCube data quickly in reporting. In doing so, aggregates help improve performance. (See Aggregate.)
    2)In order to be able to insert aggregates effectively, it is important to find out which aggregates are frequently used or have not been used in a long time.
    3)Aggregates contains not only general data but also data that appears in an aggregate after data is filled and rolled up. Reporting in this InfoCube reveals how often data was loaded into an aggregate, how long filling and rolling up took, and whether it took longer to read or write the data.
    4)Adding when Rolling Up in Aggregate  counts the time required to write the data to the aggregate.
    The Records, Read for Aggregate Structure key figure  counts the data records that are read for constructing the aggregate.

  • Abt master data activation and attribute change run

    There is any difference between master data activation and attribute change run

    Hi,
    Master data activation is activating the master data once you extract the data from source system the data will be in inactive state, so in order to make the data available we will activate the master data.
    Attribute change run :Its used to update the newly changed master data records to the Hierachies and aggregates.
    If you are already using the available master data in aggregates in InfoCubes, you cannot activate the master data individually. In this case we will use attribute change run.
    For attribute change run we have direct tcode: RSATTR or  In the main menu, choose the path Tools Hierarchy/Attribute Change.

  • IO and Attribute Change Run

    Hi experts,
    i have IO and i am not sure if this IO is a part of Process Chain ( Attribute Change Run).
    Could i find out it ( something as Where-Used-list over IO) ?
    I don't want to "open" ALL process chains and find "my" IO.
    Thanks in advance
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    Check if table RSPCVARIANT helps.
    In type enter - ATTRIBCHAN
    In field name -INFOOBJECT
    In the low option field - key in your infoobject name.
    This will give you all the attribute change run variants in the system using this infoobject.
    Nex you could go to any chain, go to change mode, go to process types, double click on chage run - select the variant from the list you obtain above, while you try to insert this variant , system will display a message in the popup, that the variant has been used in other chains, do you want to display the other chain. If you say yes, you will see the other chain.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • Difference between Activating Master Data and Attribute Change Run

    Hi
    Is there any difference between Atribute change run and Activating Master data functionaaly???
    if wha it is???
    can any one explain clearly?
    Thanks
    Chinna

    When u load master data and its attribute to ur data target and if u change any data or attributes of ur master data,in order to update new data to ur data target attribute change run is performed.
    When u create a characteristic and if u keep it as master data and activated..it is master data activation
    Activating Master Data
    When you update master data from an SAP system the master data is imported in an inactive state. You must activate the new master data so that it can be accessed and used for reporting purposes.
    For more information, see Versioning Master Data.
    Choose the path InfoObject Tree Context Menu of Corresponding Characteristic Activate Master Data.
    Upon Activation there are two scenarios to choose from:
    The Corresponding Master Data Is Already Being Used in Aggregates in the InfoCube:
    If you are already using the available master data in aggregates in InfoCubes, you cannot activate the master data individually. In this case, proceed as follows:
    1. In the main menu, choose the path Tools Hierarchy/Attribute Change.
    2. Proceed as described in System Response upon Changes to Data: Aggregate.
    The system now automatically restructures and activates the master data and its aggregates.
    Please note that this process can take several hours if the volume of data is relatively high. Therefore, you should simultaneously activate all of the characteristics that are affected by changes to their master data, at regular intervals.
    The Corresponding Master Data Is Not Used in Aggregates:
    Choose the path InfoObject Tree ® Context Menu of Corresponding Characteristic Activate.
    The system now automatically activates the master data so that it can be used directly in reporting.
    If there is any change r newly added records in master data..then that particular data will not b avialable for the reporting unless u do activate master data...
    if u r using aggregates and then there is any change in master data ...then that particular master data change wil not b available for the reporting unless u do arrtibute change run for that info object.(T-code RSATTR)
    Master data attributes and hierachies are used in cube aggregates also. So to do update the latest master data attributes values in the aggregtes attribute change run need to be performed.So Attribute change run also updates the master data attributes in aggregates which is not apart of master data activation.
    Text loads do not need attribute change run. Attributes, hierarchies and aggregates need attribute/hierarchy change runs. If you do not have aggregates, just activating the master data is same as attribute change run.

  • Attribute Change Run for Hierarchy

    Dear experts:
    we are trying to create a process chain for a hierarchy. When we included "Execute InfoPackage" into process chain, it automatically dragged other 2 steps into process chain as well, which are "Save Hierarchy" and "Attribute Change Run".
    My Question is when we looked into "Attribute Change Run", the obj type is "Execute InfoPackage" instead of "Hierarchy". Shouldn't we choose hierarchy as object type when operating Attr change run??
    Besides, I checked SAP document. It is said the "Attr Change Run" is only necessary when the hierarchy occurs in aggregates. Can anyone please explain to me what that means.
    Thank you very much
    Regards
    SzuFen

    Haven't really looked at the object types in the process chain (we're still using event chains here for the most part), but I would be inclined to leave it as, and only change it if you have a problem.
    The process chain tool drags steps into the chain by default, e.g drop and build index, attr change run.  That doesn't mean you have to keep them in the chain.  If you do not have hierarchies in your aggregates, you could remove the step.  Now of course, the burden falls on you to remember to add it if you ever create an aggregate with a hierarchy in it.
    Of course the next would be, if most of your queries use a hierarchy, you would probably want the hierarchy in the aggregate, otherwise the aggregate isn't going to be used.

  • Attribute change run taking more time

    Hi Gurus
    I am loading master data 0mat_plant everyday
    nearly 2 to 3 lakhs record .The extracrion and loading is taking 30 min but attribute change run is taking 3 hrs .Is there any way to reduce attribute change run time.

    Hi,
    You can try going to the monitor for Attribute change run from RSA1 >> tools >> apply change run or from Transaction RSATTR which will schedule/display attribute change run. Here you can have an option called change run monitor (Monitor icon). this wil show the status of change run including which all info objects are affected, and if its hitting the aggregates of any cubes.
    There are scenarios where the attribute change run failed with message that it was hitting/affecting aggregates of some infocubes. In case we had to switch off aggregates and trigger the change run again and then swtich on the aggregates after the change run is over. this may not be the exact issue you are facing.
    And sometimes ACR goes on running for a long time in such case we need to check which Aggregate the ACR is currently changing and need to deactivate that aggregate.
    But before deactivating an aggregate you need to check the data present in that and the usage of the aggregate.
    Also you can try Tcode CHANGERUNMONI/program RSDDS_CHANGERUN_MONITOR to view this data.

  • Hi i have 50 infoobjects as part of my aggregates and in that 10 infoobjects have received changes in masterdata.so in my process chain the Attribute change run in running for a long time.can i kill the job and repeat the same.

    Hi i have 50 infoobjects as part of my aggregates and in that 10 infoobjects have received changes in masterdata.so in my process chain the Attribute change run in running for a long time.can i kill the job and repeat the same.

    Hi,
    I believe this would be your Prod system, so don't just cancel it but look at the job log. If it is still processing then don't kill it and wait for the change run to complete but if you can see that nothing is happening and it is stuck for a long time then you can go ahead and cancel it.
    But please be sure, as these kind of jobs can create problems if you cancel them in the middle of a job.

  • Use of Process type Attribute Change Run and Rollup in Process Chaning

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    I have a doubt about the use of process types Attribute Change Run and Roll up in PC
    If any1 can clear my doubts it would be helpful
    if possible if any1 can tell me about the list of process types available in Process Chains it would be helpful
    Thanks in advance

    Change run process is used to re-activate the Attributes after changes
    Roll up process is used to refresh a target (example : aggregates) after new data are uploaded into a Cube

  • RSA1 Setup and Hierarchy / Attributes Change Run Activation

    I have perfomed a Hierarchy / Attributes change run in RSA1, but althought it shows no errors; in some transactions (reports) its not updated or rather it still shows the previous and the actual hierarchy values overlapped.
    One of the possible solutions its to deactivate and reactivate aggregates, I already entered 0 in transaction RSCUSTV8, also try to find info objects and click  on activate master data but none has the option and they are not assigned.
    I been reading some solutions that involve making changes to the data that shows in different parts of transaction RSA1, the problem is that in my case there are no data in the transaction just shows some unassigned info objects.
    In fact SAP ask me to provide a System Logical Name prior to use transaction RSA1. So problably there are more set up steps missing.
    Does somebody knows where should I look for answers.

  • Attribute Change Run and Editing BI data

    Hello Experts,
    I have two questions.(They are not related to each other).
    Can BI data(Infocube data) be edited?
      For eg GL account in R/3 is changed from 100 to 2100. I want to know how can this be handled in BI.
    Attribute Change Run in the process chain ends with error.
      "Master data characteristic ZACCTNUM activated in 6 seconds. Error while activating characteristic   ZACCTNUM ". There are no more information.
       The BWREMOTE user has the authorisation to Execute Change Run.
       What could be the possible reasons for this failure.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Meenakshi

    Hi Meenakshi,
    Regarding your questons:
    1. You can't edit the data directly in the cube. If you have incorrect data in the cube and the data is still in the PSA you can edit the incorrect data in the PSA and you can then delete the incorrect requests from the cube. You can then reload the correct data from the PSA. If its not an option to delete individual requests you could delete the incorrect data using the selective deletion option (if you can select on the incorrect data in the cube). You could then reload the correct data from PSA or source system.
    2. Please check the infoobject ZACCTNUM is active in RSD1. If it is there may be an inconsistency with the data in the infoobject ZACCTNUM, please check if the solution part of the SAP note 1033721 can help you in this case.
    Best Regards,

  • How does attribute change run works for Aggregates and Master data?

    Hi
    Can anybody xplain how does the attribute change run works for Master data ?
    For e.g.
    There is 0spelling and it has master data
    On Day 1 there are 10 records
    day 2 it has 12 records
    so with attribute change run this 2 new records will get added....
    The values for this  12 records will added seperately in Data load
    Is this how it workss
    So how about Aggregates which has Master data.????

    for e.g.
    u have 0spelling whicha has attributes x,y and z on day 1 with 10 records
    so do ur aggregates on day1 with same values
    now on day2 u had new values of attributes y,z,s,d and new hierarchies and so u add new records
    with data load u will load the data with version M of modified and is not available for reporting
    If u do attribute change run then this modified version is activated to A i.e. active version .
    It will also do the change run alignment for Aggregate for new attribute values and new hierarchy values for aggregate.
    now in order for this data to be available for reporting u will need to do the roll up of aggregate.....
    if u roll up aggregate before attribute change run , new data is not avaialable for reporting
    if u roll up aggregate after attribute change run, then data is available for reporting
    if u dont roll up aggregate eventhough new data is in dataprovider, still new data will not be available for reporting.
    this is how it works

  • Attribute change Run and Infocube Problem

    Hi SAP BW Experts ,
       I am getting the following problem
    2 days back our production system was down when Attribute change run is running in a process chain . After the system is up I triggered the Attribute change run manually for that specific master data Object. But the jobs was cancled automatically. When I checked the Job log I found the following messages
        <b>“InfoCube XXX is locked by a terminated change Run”</b>
      System error: <b>RSDU_TABLE_COPY_INI/DDIF_TABL_ACTIVATE /BIC/E200073 /BIC/E100073 0</b>
    Message no. DBMAN100
    When I verified manage screen in the Infocube XXX , one request is not rolled up . when I tried to rollup that particular request manually again I am getting the same message <b>“InfoCube XXX is locked by a terminated change Run”</b>
    When I tried to create Indexes on that Infocunbe XXX , Again I am getting the same message <b>“InfoCube XXX is locked by a terminated change Run”</b>
    When I tried to load data in to that Infocube I am getting the same message <b>“InfoCube XXX is locked by a terminated change Run”</b>
    The Steps Taken By Me:
      1. In SM12 , there are no lock entries for the Infocube XXX
      2. According to A.H.P reply I verified the Support package . We are having Import Support package 18 for 3.10( BW 3.10 patch 18 or SAPKW31018 )
      so I think there is no problem from patch side.
    So please let me know by doing which task , I can eliminate the error message “InfoCube XXX is locked by a terminated change Run”

    I got this reference from one of other site. Hope this solves issues of most of our ques on this topic.
    We faced this problem and reported to OSS. They solved our problem.Here is
    the answer from OSS
    I connected to your BWQ system. I checked the table RSDDAGGRMODSTATEand
    found an entrie for a change run "not yet" finished.
    CNSID CLOSEDFL TIMESTMP_START TIMESTMP_END TSTPNM
    207,851,300 20,030,910,141,500 0 SIDTLHG
    As you can see, the field CLOSEDFL is blank (should be 'X' for an ended
    change run) and the field TIMESTMP_END is also zero.
    You can also check with the function module RSDDS_CHANGERUN_MONITOR as
    in note 388069 that both objects you reported are the ones involved
    with thi change run error (Infocube ZINV and Infoobject ZELEM_PEP):
    E_CR_STATE C
    E_T_CHANM 1 Entry (IOBJNM = ZELEM_PEP)
    E_T_HIEID 0 Entries
    E_T_AGGRSTATE 1 Entry (AGGRID = 3QR79ZYB6VGSDS3C42HPXMA8S
    ICUBE = ZINV)
    E_T_MSG 1 Entry (IOBJNM = ZELEM_PEP)
    You have two choices to solve this problem. You cn either:
    1.- Restart the change run and let it finish with ok.
    The change run usually fails due to database errors, tablespace
    problems, and when some user manually cancel it (NEVER should be
    done!!)
    2.- Change manually the entry from table RSDDAGGRMODSTATE that isdescribed
    above. Set the field CLOSEDFL with a 'X' and also fill the field
    TIMESTMP_END with a value with the following format
    yy,yym,mdd,hhm,mss. Use, for example, '20,030,910,181,500'
    IMPORTANT!!!
    After this change on table RSDDAGGRMODSTATE, you have todeactivate
    all aggregates, activate again and refill them!!
    Hope this solves your error. If the issue is solved, please close this
    message with the [confirm] button.
    Best regards,

    The answer refers to our problem.We chosed option 2. Here is the AbAPcode:
    REPORT ZLOCKED .
    tables: RSDDAGGRMODSTATE.
    select * from RSDDAGGRMODSTATE where CLOSEDFL = ' '.
    RSDDAGGRMODSTATE-CLOSEDFL = 'X'.
    RSDDAGGRMODSTATE-TIMESTMP_END = 20020912195015.
    MODIFY RSDDAGGRMODSTATE.
    ENDSELECT.

  • Aggregates with Attribute Change Run and Master data

    Hi !
    I created Aggregate which includes Master Data such as Customer , Customer Number , Material , Material Number.....
    It also contains navigational attribute and hierarchy...
    Now we all know that if Master data and Hierarchy changes frequently(or some new values are added or new attributes are added etc.) we want to see the respective change in Aggregates too
    So just Rolling up aggregate will not help.
    We need to apply Attribute Change run for this purpose, to aggregates..
    Now the question is HOW TO  APPLY ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN to aggregates?
    How to automate this process with Process chains..?
    If i create Aggregate on Master Data CUSTOMER NO., DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDE THAT AGGREGATE IN ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN FOR THAT CUSTOMER NO. PROCESS CHAINS ?   Yes or No..........
    (What i mean to say is if there is Attribute Change Run for Customer No. and if this is in Process chains specially created for Customer Number , than as aggregates are created on  Customer No., does i t automatically applies and make changes to Aggregate too, or do we hvae to create special process chian for it ?)
    Please reply asap ? its urgent

  • What's the attribute change run? and the common sequence of a process chain

    The BW consultants of our company were gone and they used to create a complicated process chain, and we can see the sequences in the process chain is:
    Load different Master data attributes -> Attribute Change Run -> Load different master text data -> Load different transaction data.
    The sequence of the above process chain is pretty common, right?  We are pretty new to process chain and we are appreciated if someone could elaborate this and please also let us know the functionality of the Attribute Change Run variant here.
    We will reward your points and Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    When ever u load the masterdata then it has to be activated so that the data will be available for the reporting. The Attribute change run will does the same thing. This will be applied to the Attributes and Hierarchies.
