Can routine replace "master data attribute of" update rule for performance?

Hi all,
We are working on CRM-BW data modeling, We have to look up agent master data for agent level and position for each transaction data. So now we are using "Master data attribute of" update rule. Can we use routine instead of "Master data Attribute of" ? Will it improve the loading performance? Since we have to load 1 lack transaction records , where as we have 20,000 agent details in agent master data.My understanding is, for each record in data package the system has to go to master data table and bring the agent details & store in cubes. Say one agent created 10 transactions, then this option "master data attribute of" will read the agent master data 10 times even though we are going to pull same details for all 10 transactions from master data. if we use routine, we can pull the agent details& storing in internal table removing all duplicates and in update routine we can read the internal table.
Will this way improve performance?
let me know if you need further info?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
your thinking is absolutely right!
I don't recommend to use the standard attribute derivation since it will perform a SELECT to the database for EACH record.
Better implement a sorted table in your start routine; fill it with SELECT <fields> FROM <master_data_table> FOR ALL ENTRIES OF datapak WHERE OBJVERS = 'A' etc...
In your routine perform a READ itab ... BINARY SEARCH.... I believe that you won't be able to go faster...
hope this helps...

Master Data lookup in Update Rule problem

Hi all,
I am currently having a problem loading data to an InfoCube using flat files.
The architecture is as follows:
1) The source of the data is a flat file
2) The data is loaded thru an Update Rule and is of type Full-Update
3) The Update Rules determines the Profit Center using the Master Data of the WBS-Element
4) The data is written in an InfoCube
This solution however does not always work as planned. In the following situation a problem occurs:
1) The flat file contains WBS-element RD.00753.02.01, which has a Profit Center attribute value 8060
2) When I load the flat file, the PC value 8060 is written into the row in the InfoCube, which is correct
3) Then I change the master data of the WBS-element by setting the Profit Center attribute value to 8068
4) I run the Attribute Change Run
5) Then i load a flat file again, which also contains WBS-element RD.00753.02.01
6) The master data attribute value should now write the value 8068 into the InfoCube. HOWEVER, this is when the evil occurs. BW does not write a PC value of 8068, but it write the value 8060. This is wrong.
Why does BW not take the newest version of the Master Data to performe the attribute value look-up? Or why doesn't BW write the correct Profit Center into the cube?
Thanks,
Onno

Hi Ricardo,
The debug via PSA simulation of the update indicates that the CORRECT Profit Center value is to be written into the InfoCube.
However, if I check the contents of the cube (after the load has finished) using the request-id the WRONG Profit Center value is shown. This indicates that the correct Master Data is used, however the update of the Cube is wrong. Why does this happen. the load is of type full-update, so should add a new row in the cube using the value in the data from the UR.

Updating Master data attributes through BPS

Hi All,
Can we modify master data attributes via BPS? Like we have some Attribute characteristics for 'vendor' say 'class(good/bad/ok)' and we want that to be updated via BPS (not from R/3) then how it can be achived?
Please help by explaining this.

Hi,
Create two variables one for vendor and other for status (variable of type attribute), give both the variables in the folder. User will select the vendor and the attribute status value in selections. Create an exit planning function to update the attribute.
Import parameters
i_area type upc_y_area
i_variable type upc_y_variable
i_chanm type upc_y_chanm
Export parameters
eto_charsel type upc_yto_charsel
tables
i_t_attributes structure rsd_s_iobjnm optional
i_t_data structure rsndi_s_chavl optional
In the code, Read the above two variable values selected by user. Then delete the existing entry of MD by calling the function RSNDI_MD_DELETE.
Now update the master data with the new attribute value selected by the user in the variable by calling the function
RSNDI_MD_ATTRIBUTES_UPDATE. After this activate the master data by calling RSDMD_MD_ACTIVATE.
Hope this solves the issue.

Transofmration : Master data attribute

Hello,
I am on NW 2004S BI and ECC 6.0.
In the transformation rule types, i can not find "Master data attribute of" .
If this is the case in this version,in the infocube, how to load the data for a particular IO, which is an attribute of another IO ?
In the older versions, in the update rules, i can select either source, constant, master data attribute of,routine etc ..
Any advice?
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
We have "Master Data Attribute" as a Rule type of Transformation in NW2004S BI also.
Where in the previous version BW3.x you have option to create the Master Data Read Rule only between
DataTarget to DataTarget
or
Infosource to DataTarget.
But, The New Enhancement of NW2004S BI is, Even you can read the Master Data Attribute in Transformation have builded between DataTarget (InfoCube or ODS) and DataSource also.
How to assign the InfoObject for Master Data Read?
Select Target Field.
Select the source InfoObject from where you want to read Master Data.
When you have to choose the "Master Data Read" as the Rule Type. Then You will get the entry block next to Rule Type.
Click F4, then it will give the Attribute automatically.
Hope this helps you.

Navigation attributes in Updates Rules.

Hi,
I´d like to know if it is possible to use a navigation attribute of one InfoCube in the update rule of other InfoCube. For example, i am trying to consolidate some date using the 0Customer attibute 0City, but when i create a new update rule to my InfoCube the only object avaible is 0Customer, its navigation attribute (0City) is unavaible in the Update rule.
Thanks.

Using "Master Data Attribute of" in the Update Rule

Hi,
In my update rule of, i want to replace the master data attribute of my characteristic instead of using its source characteristic. For example. InfoObject ZSTORECODE has an attribute ZSTORENAME. My objective is to use the Store Name instead of a Store Code.
I initially thought of using "Master Data Attribute of" in the update rules. However, I always end of with having an error of "No Values."

Hope you guys can help me with this!

How to use Master Data Attribute of in Update Rule's Formula

Hi experts.
In update rule, there is an option to use Master Data Attribute of. However, due to user requirement, I need to use that in Formula instead.
Field to update:
Profit Center
Logic:
If Cost Center is empty
Then Profit Center
Else
Master Data Attribute of Cost Center
I use the following formula at the moment but it is not 100% correct.
IF( Cost Center = '', Profit Center, Cost Center )
Appreciate if anyone could help me out.
Thanks!

Hi,
The easier thing to do will be to use a Update Routine.
Logic will be as follows :-
If Cost center iss initial.
Result = Profit Center
else.
result = Cost center.
endif.

Cant fully load updated data to Master data attribute

Hi BW expert,
I meet an issue here, I am not able to load updated data to master data attribute. My loading selection is based on employee number range.
e.g employee number 00001 to 10000
However the data is successfully loaded to master data but lot of the attribute data are not updated. e.g 056, 057, 098, 0100.
I checked in PSA, there is no data updated for the attribute.
I checked in RSA3 in R/3, there are attribute data extracted.
Please advice, why attribute data is not updated when I load it in a range number. The attribute only work when I load one employee number.
Thanks.
regards,
Wesley Koo

Re: Error while running InfoPackage

Update from master data attribute

I have a key figure in my update rule for Info source(0HR_PA_1) for info cube(0PA_C01). I would like to update this KF to write a codein update rule like no.of working hours/37.
No.of working hours(ZWOSTD) is an attribute of 0employee master data. 0employee object is there in transfer structure for info source 0HR_PA_1.
Is it possible to get attribute value(No.of working hours) which is char type fom 0employee masterdata.
Please help me with this.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
just do a select on view /bi0/memployee.
select * into wa from /bi0/memployee
where employee = comm_structure-employee
and objvers = 'A'
and dateto >= comm_structure-<date field>
and datefrom <= comm_structure-<date_field>.
Make sure the content of zwostd is numeric and assign it to your keyfigure.
result = wa-/bic/zwostd.
That should work.
regards
Siggi
PS: may be you need to convert the datatypes.

Update Master Data Attributes yellow in DTP

Hi All,
After loading the master data DTP, the request becomes greeen but the "Update Master Data Attributes" step is still yellow. Let me know how to overocome this error
Thanks,
Sathya

Hi,
This is a master data full load and it updates more than 1 lakh records. Technically the Overall and technical status of my DTP request becomes Green but when i go to the details tab and drill down the data package the "Update Master Data Attributes" still remains yellow so i dont think my load will update the attributes for my info object successfully.
Is there a solution to overcome or did anyone face this similar issue?
Thanks

Is it possible to update master data attributes from an ODS?

HELLO ALL,
we have records coming into our ods like the following:
costcenter1, subcostcentera, subcostcenterb, manager responsible, costs (kf).
This is a custom flat file load from a legacy system.
We would like to just create an update rule from the ODS to the cost center mater data characteristic attributes.
Is this possible?
thank you

Yes its possible to update the master data attributes from an ODS.
Define your master data characteristics as a infoprovider.
Create a update rule on Characteristic with ODS as a source and do general mapping.
For step by step, pls refer..
