Change dataosurce from master data attributes to text

Hi,
i build data source as master data attributes (in tr sbiw) and i want to change it to text ,
how can i do that?
Regards

Hi....
You can copy it and recreate it as text in RSO2.
Just create a new one... There are max 5 entries in a generic extractor so note them down and recreate...

InfoProvider: infoObject (master data attribute and text)

I saw info Object of master data attribute and text in InfoProvider.
are infoObject act like a table when we do query on them.

Hi
Refer to this as down
Custome Infoobjects Tabels:
/BIC/M -- View of Master data Tables
/BIC/P -- Master data Table, Time Independent attributes
/BIC/Q -- Master data Table, Time Dependent attributes
/BIC/X -- SID Table, Time Independent
/BIC/Y -- SID Tabel, Time Dependent
/BIC/T -- Text Table
/BIC/H -- Heirarchy Table
/BIC/K -- Heirarchy SID Table
Standard Infoobjects Tabels(Buss. Content):
Replace "C" with "0" in above tables.
Ex: /BI0/M -- View of Master data Tables

Read from master data attribute

Hi BI experts,
Here is a challenging question.
One of the FIGL infoprovider do not have infoobject 0company. Added 0company and set up update type 'overwrite'. Update method 'Master data attribute'. So 0company should read from the master data attribute of 0Comp_code.
Master data attribute loaded for 0comp_code. Did transaction data load for FIGL infoprovider.
But 0company is blank in FIGL ODS.
Any thoughts..
Thanks in advance

It should ideally pull the 0company, Otherwise try doing it thru Start routine ..
Create an internal table, pull company code and company from the master data table of Company code into this table.
Read from this table in your update routine and corresponding to the company code read the company and populate in your ODS.
It will also be better in performance compared to a master data look up !!!!!!!
Regards.

Load Master data attribute with Text Data (Urgent Please)

Hello Experts,
I created a new navigational attribute to one of the master data object and now I want to load that particular new navigational Attribute from the Master data Text (Medium description).
In brief, I need first 4 letter of master data text (medium description) to load in to the navigational attribute. How
How is this possible? Can you please help me to get it solved.
Thanks and Regards,
Harish Mulaka

Hi Apparrao,
Add this attribute to your infoobject's attributes list.
Make sure it comes in the communication structure for the infoobject.
Then in the transfer rules write a routine. You will have to read the text table to get the medium text(field TXTMD) and pull the 4 characters from the beginning and populate your new attribute.
Do a full load and run the attrbute change run.
Hope that helps.
Regards.

Process chain master data: attributes or Text load first?

Hello
I understand as attributes those characteristics defined as nav. attrib for a characteristic. For example I have char. material with attrib source, destine, manufacturer, country etc. So my understanding was first to load all text (code and description) for each one of the characteristics (inc. attributes) and later load properly for a material X all of its attribute values x1,x2,x3....
I am correct ?
becuase if I load first attributes as I understand them, maybe some codes that I update at posteriori will note have their attribute values loaded
Hope you understand what I mean
Looking forward your replies !
tia

thanks Udo
as of the sequence master first and transact after is clear but allow me to rephrase my question :
when I use a text datasource i will be filling code and descriptive for a characteristic so for my case material will have all codes and descriptives from R/3. (010 - winston, 020 - marlboro, 030 - camel)
The same for loading attributes master data (for me again text: code and descriptive). In my case lets say attribute is factory so will be 001 spain, 002 france, 003 USA, 004 Germany).
later when I use attribute datasources understand that will be loading for each of my products loaded in step 1 the respective values for their attributes. That is for product 010 load their factory lets say 002 ...
I am a beginner so please let me know if I am misunderstanding anything ?

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.

How to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details

how to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details screenshots

Hi
Go through the below process to extract Master Data Attribute from R/3
Hi,
Maintaining Generic DataSources
Use
Regardless of the application, you can create and maintain generic DataSources for transaction data, master data attributes or texts from any transparent table, database view or SAP Query InfoSet, or using a function module. This allows you to extract data generically.
Procedure
Creating Generic DataSources
1. Select the DataSource type and specify a technical name.
2. Choose Create.
The screen for creating a generic DataSource appears.
3. Choose the application component to which you want to assign the DataSource.
4. Enter the descriptive texts. You can choose any text.
5. Select the datasets from which you want to fill the generic DataSource.
a. Choose Extraction from View if you want to extract data from a transparent table or a database view. Enter the name of the table or the database view.
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the database view or transparent table.
For more information about creating and maintaining database views and tables, see the ABAP Dictionary Documentation.
b. Choose Extraction from Query if you want to use a SAP Query InfoSet as the data source. Select the required InfoSet from the InfoSet catalog.
Notes on Extraction Using SAP Query
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the InfoSet.
For more information about maintaining the InfoSet, see the System Administration documentation.
c. Choose Extraction Using FM if you want to extract data using a function module. Enter the function module and extraction structure.
The data must be transferred by the function module in an interface table E_T_DATA.
Interface Description and Extraction Process
For information about the function library, see the ABAP Workbench: Tools documentation.
d. With texts you also have the option of extracting from fixed values for domains.
6. Maintain the settings for delta transfer, as required.
7. Choose Save.
When performing extraction, note SAP Query: Assigning to a User Group.
Note when extracting from a transparent table or view:
If the extraction structure contains a key figure field that references a unit of measure or a currency unit field, this unit field has to be included in the same extraction structure as the key figure field.
A screen appears on which you can edit the fields of the extraction structure.
8. Edit the DataSource:
○ Selection
When you schedule a data request in the BI scheduler, you can enter the selection criteria for the data transfer. For example, you can determine that data requests are only to apply to data from the previous month.
If you set the Selection indicator for a field within the extraction structure, the data for this field is transferred in correspondence with the selection criteria in the scheduler.
○ Hide field
You set this indicator to exclude an extraction structure field from the data transfer. The field is no longer available in BI when you set the transfer rules or generate the transfer structure.
○ Inversion
Reverse postings are possible for customer-defined key figures. Therefore inversion is only active for certain transaction data DataSources. These include DataSources that have a field that is marked as an inversion field, for example, the update mode field in DataSource 0FI_AP_3. If this field has a value, the data records are interpreted as reverse records in BI.
If you want to carry out a reverse posting for a customer-defined field (key figure), set the Inversion indicator. The value of the key figure is transferred to BI in inverted form (multiplied by 1).
○ Field only known in exit
You can enhance data by extending the extraction structure for a DataSource by adding fields in append structures.
The Field Only Known in Exit indicator is set for the fields of an append structure; by default these fields are not passed to the extractor from the field list and selection table.
Deselect the Field Only Known in Exit indicator to enable the Service API to pass on the append structure field to the extractor together with the fields of the delivered extract structures in the field list and in the selection table.
9. Choose DataSource ® Generate.
The DataSource is saved in the source system.
Maintaining Generic DataSources
● Change DataSource
To change a generic DataSource, in the initial screen of DataSource maintenance, enter the name of the DataSource and choose Change.
You can change the assignment of a DataSource to an application component or change the texts of a DataSource. Double-click on the name of the table, view, InfoSet or extraction structure to get to the appropriate maintenance screen. Here you make the changes to add new fields. You can also completely swap transparent tables and database views, though this is not possible with InfoSets. Return to DataSource maintenance and choose Create. The screen for editing a DataSource appears. To save the DataSource in the SAP source system, choose DataSource ® Generate.
If you want to test extraction in the source system independently of a BI system, choose DataSource ® Test Extraction.
● Delta DataSource
On the Change Generic DataSource screen, you can delete any DataSources that are no longer relevant. If you are extracting data from an InfoSet, delete the corresponding query. If you want to delete a DataSource, make sure it is not connected to a BI system.

Master data, attributes, texts: ETL process

Hi,
I am new to SAP BW and have a question concerning the difference between master data attributes and texts. I am currently learning with the "sflight" example provided by SAP. There I have, e.g., a table like this:
CARRID CARRNAME          CURRCODE
AA      American Airline   USD
AB      Air Berlin         EUR
AC      Air Canada         CAD
These are my master data because these data won't change often - correct?
What are then my attributes and texts?
Thanks!

Thanks Choudhary.
I am Karthik, new to both, the community and SAP BI. I have a doubt similar to the main question, that goes like this.
CARRID CARRNAME          CURRCODE   TIME             COUNTRIES_OPERATION
AA          American Airline     USD               9:00 AM       America
AB          Air Berlin                EUR             10:00 AM       Germany
AC          Air Canada             CAD             11:00 AM       Canada
Similar to the above table, if suppose there are two other columns TIME and COUNTRIES_OPERATION,
1. Will TIME be included as "attributes" or "time characteristics" as TIME is an additional information of the master data key and there is dimension table where we can define TIME ?
2. Will COUNTRIES_OPERATION be included as "attributes" or can this be included in "hierarchy"
3. If not what can be used into "hierarchy" from the above table.
Kindly excuse if my question is silly or if it does not make sense. I am very new to these terms and still in the learning curve.
Thanking you in advance,
Karthik.

Changing macro for master data files

Hi experts!!
we maintain master data(attributes,texts,hierarchy) for one infoobject in a Macro work book.The work book contains many sheets and we maintain data in one sheet and then click on 'do it all ' .....it updates all other sheets and at the same time generates two files....one for attribute and texts....one for hierarchy.....
now my client wanted me to introduce one new level in hierarchy..so I added one more column in the sheet where we maintain data and clicked on 'Do it all'.......its generating two files as usual....in master data(attribute and text) file...data seems to be right...but hierarchy file seems to be wrong....I think I have to change Macro program(I guess) so it includes newly added column...Am I right?
Can any one advise where and how I can do changes so it generates right hierarchy files?(because while I am running hierarchy process chain,its showing error like..'Error in Hierarchy structure')
Thanks.
SH

Marta,
A company called Inquera has a sample MDM repository available for SAP employees and approved partners. It can be downloaded from their <a href="http://www.inquera.com">web site</a>.
This is only a sample repository. You need to have the MDM components already installed to use it (Console, Server, & Data Manager at a minimum).
Thanks,

Master Data Attributes issue in BEx

Hi Everyone,
I have loaded Master Data Attributes and Texts for 0customer. 0Customer has one Display attribute. I add this into the Bex Query Designer.But the data for the display Attribute(SORT1) is not displayed in the Analyzer. I have maintained everything correctly. The Baclkend BI system has Data for the display attribute.
Do we require to do any additional settings in Query Designer for the dat ato be shown when we drag the display attribute into Query Designer Panel. I have maintained the Display settings correctly in Query Designer
Please Advise.
Regards,
Samir

Hi,
are you able to See no data in Field of Attribute(SORT1) or are you not able to see field Attribute(SORT1) in report?
if you are not able to see field Attribute(SORT1) in report, right click on 0Customer, select property and go to attribute tab. select Attribute(SORT1) from left to right. click ok. you will get field Attribute(SORT1) in report.
you are not able to See no data in Field of Attribute(SORT1). activate master data after maintaning master data and chech value is availble in attribute (SORT1)

Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

Hi BI Experts,
Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as ,
and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
(LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
now i used to rsa1old transaction to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for IOSP_Mat
now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
Thanks,
Srijith

apologies to all of you for late response,
was busy with some other activities.
I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
Thanks again for your quick response.
Once again sorry to all of you for my late response
Thanks,

No delta's for DTP from master data object to Info Cube

Hello,
I have a DTP process that updates records from master data attributes to Info cube.
Here i am not able to schedule a DTP in delta mode. The option appears in display mode.
Even though when i tried deleting the FULL update DTP and created a new DTP, the delta option is in display mode. i have deleted all requests from my info cube.
Any idea or solution !!
Thanks
Ankur

Ankur,
   If you want load Master Data DELTAs to Cube, you can achive this by introducing a DSO before Master Data Infoobjects.
Assume your Dataflow....

Issues In Reading Attribute Values From Master Data

Hi All,
I have a requirement where, i need to read an attribute value from master data. I have a characteristic YCSTATMCG (AT Cost Group Code) which is the master data from where i have to read the attribute, 0PROFIT_CTR (Profit Center). The attribute thus read, has to be populated into another characteristic, YPROFIT_C. But YCSTATMCG referes to another characteristic, YCSTCG. Here is the FOX Code I wrote with YPROFIT_C as the changing characteristic and 0AMOUNT as keyfigure.
DATA V_ATCP TYPE YCSTATMCG.
DATA V_PROFIT TYPE YPROFIT_C.
DATA V_PROFITC TYPE YPROFIT_C.
DATA V_AMOUNT TYPE F.
V_ATCP = OBJV().
MESSAGE I020(YCO_CFT) WITH V_ATCP.
V_AMOUNT = {0AMOUNT, # }.
V_PROFIT = ATRV('0PROFIT_CTR' , V_ATCP).
MESSAGE I020(YCO_CFT) WITH V_PROFIT.
{0AMOUNT, V_PROFIT} = V_AMOUNT.
But this is not working. The ATRV() function is not reading the attribute values at all. Any solutions and suggestions is highly valued.
Thanks in advance
Swaroop

Hi,
even i have the same situation.
i just want the attribute value of a char to be populated into another characteristic in the planning query.
my question is whether i should populate the keyfigure field also in the FOX code.
if so should i populate both 0amount and 0quantity fields as i have 2 keyfigure fields.
Thanks for your help

Web report data provider change from Master data table to InfoCube

hi Experts,
I have created one report on top of multiprovider but in the selection screen when i check the values for a variable I came to know that data is coming from master data table and not from data provider(InfoCube).Can any one help to change the data selection from master data table to data provider(InfoCube) and i am sure that there is no ODS involved in the multiprovider.
Thanks in advance
With Regards,

Hello,
If u are using Analyser then just put a Analysis Grid on the output of the query(should cover all the rows and column) , click on the grid and put the dataprovider. and do auto fit.
