Changing update rules to source MASTERDATA ATTR OF

Hi gurus
I am trying to change the update rules of char which is in a cube from source char to masterdata attr of
but i cant change the rules as i press f4 it is saying that no values found.
Any possible solution
Thanks in advance

Hi,
you can only use this option if the characteristics in the target is present in the attribute of any of the characteristics present in the source data package i.e. data source ...then only it will give you that char as the option.
Thanks

Update rules, different source and target units (0BASE_UOM-- 0QVVMRA)

Hi,
I have a problem with update rules as I'm trying to map two keyfigures with different unit-types together. They are both kilograms (KG) but the source figure is defined as 0BASE_UOM and the target keyfigure is 0QVVMRA (Amount of sales).
How can I make this connection work? Do I have to use the 'Unit calculation in routine' -option or is there a more simple way? I a routine must ne written, please post an example or link to a thread which has one.
Thx!
-miikka

Hi,
The Problem is that you are trying to connect a Key Fig for Type Quantity with the Key Figure Amount.
The Amount Key Fig will have either 0CURRENCY or Fixed Currency.
Using Update Rules Coding you could transfer the Value but you will have problems with the Currency. You cant store a Unit like KG in 0CURRENCY.

LIS Structure - Changing Update Rules

We have just changed from using the normal Julian Calendar to a 445 Fiscal Calendar. I have two Self defined LIS structures that I need to change from monthly updating to FY variant updating. I know that all data will be lost when we make this change.
I have made the change in our sandbox environment. When adding manual quantites to the structure using MC94 the monthly buckets are still displayed, however the automatic updating is using the FY buckets. The table now contains manual data in monthly buckets and auto updated data in Fiscal buckets.
How do I change the table for manual data entry to the FY variant?
Thank you for any help you can give.

ABAP porgram in update rule-Job stats

Hi All,
I have an ABAP program that is in one of the update rules from source ODS to destination ODS. Source ODS has 20million records. When we are loading the records to destination ODS , Is there any way I can find howmuch time will take to process 1 record and also when it is running how do I know howmany records it has processed or howmany yet to process ? I have tried with SM50 but not able to find much useful information?
Please help me and if you have any documents please send it to [email protected]

Vennela

hi Shravani,
try using this code.. ths is done as a report, you will have to change the fields.
**get the first 4 chars of the date. date is stored as YYYYMMDD format internally. check with the system year. sy-datum has the system date
if comm_structure-stat_date+0(4) = sy-datum+0(4).
**get the month i.e the 5 and 6th characters from the date and compare them
if comm_structure-stat_date+4(2) > sy-datum+4(2).
result = 0.
**ELSE. .... you havent mentioned what u want to do if the month is lesser or equal to the system month
endif.
else.
**Get the first 6 chars of the statistical date.. i.e the year and month.
result = comm_structure-stat_date+0(6).
endif.

ABAP program running time-BW update Rules

Hi All,
I have an ABAP program that is in one of the update rules from source ODS to destination ODS. Source ODS has 20million records. When we are loading the records to destination ODS , Is there any way I can find howmuch time will take to process 1 record and also when it is running how do I know howmany records it has processed or howmany yet to process ?

Hi Vennela,
just choose one request and click on monitor -> details. Click on processing -> Data Package 1 -> Update Rules. If you put the cursor on the first node, you'll see a date and time field on the screen (below). If you click on the last node you'll see how long it took to process the records.
Another possibility would be to run it in simulation mode and check the response time. To do so, you'll have to click on 'Response Time' in the SAP GUI field below at the right side of your screen (normally it shows the system name and mandant).
Hope that helps!

Formula in Update rule(Urgent)

Dear Gurus,
Iam written Formula in update rule
Get source system type is SUBSTRING( Source System, 2, 1 )
And Get Client Formula is RIGHT( Source System, 3 )
Above formula syntax is correct.
But when iam loading data getting below error.
Formula in InfoObject /BIC/CLIENT : The argument 'R3DCLNT240' cannot be interpreted as.
In Help node it is showing below message.
This is a specific error message of processing from the handling of incorrect data data records. It enables the jump into the error requests or the PSA maintenance, depending on whether the generation of an error request was desired, and whether or not it was possible.
How to solve this problem?What does it mean?
Thanks in advance
Ramu

Hi Ramu,
Instead of using Formula why don't u try with Constant in Update rules for R3DCLNT240.
Try with this and hope it may works.
Thanks & Regards,

Copying of Update Rules

Hi,
I need to copy the update rules. Let me explain the requirement:
The standard business content in SD provides the update rules from InfoSource 2LIS_12_VCHDR to InfoCube 0SD_C03.
We have created an ODS (ZSD_O01) on the InfoSource 2LIS_12_VCHDR, with the one-to-one field mapping in the update rules.
As a result, the update rules from ODS ZSD_O01 to InfoCube 0SD_C03 are exactly identical to the Business Content Update rules between the InfoSource 2LIS_12_VCHDR and InfoCube 0SD_C03.
Can I copy (All) the update rules "between the InfoSource 2LIS_12_VCHDR and InfoCube 0SD_C03" and paste them for the update rules "from ODS ZSD_O01 to InfoCube 0SD_C03" ??.
If you right-click on any individual update rule line (Go to Change Update rules), you see two options: 1. Copy Rule (F6), 2. Copy Update Rules (Ctrl + F12). What is the purpose of these two?
Regards,
Milind

Hi,
I hope update rules can be copied only if they are based on same Datasource.
For example if you want to copy update rules for Cube1 to cube2 it can be done only if these two cubes are based on same ODS or Infosouce.
Also check some of the similar thread..

Transport routine in update rule

Dear All,
I have new routine in update rule, after development test is ok,
I transported to quality environment, but return with error code: 8.
The new routine and changed update rule are in same request number.
I think maybe I must separate and transport the routine first,
before I transport the update rule.
Now, how transport this routine?
I also confused to find the routine generated number because there are a lot of routine
in this update rule.
I already triggered by update the routine again (to prompt request window),
transported the request and I have the same result.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Steph.

"Master data attr. of" un change source of update rule.

hi,
What is the importance of following in "change source" (characteristics) in update rules.
1. master data attr. of
2.initial value
3. Source chars
4. constant
When and why these are used.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Avneet

Hi Avneet,
Lets say Material group is an attribute of 0MATERIAL. You cube contains Material and also Material Group as a separate characteristic (not as navigational attr) becasue you want to store the value of material group as it was during the time the transaction happened.
But here you transactional data coming from the source brings Material values, not values of Material Group. So in the update rule for Material Group, you can specify "Master data attribute of" 0MATERIAL. What the system will do is take the value of 0MATERIAL on this record and populate Material Group taking the value that is present in Material Master data.
So if Material = M100 and Material Group is MG01 in master data, it will supply MG01 to Material Group char in the cube.
Hope this helps...

Change description of update rule between ODS'es

Hi!
In a BW 3.5 system I have the following problem: I cannot change the description of an update rule between two ODS'es.
When creating such a rule the system automatically generates the technical name and takes the description of the source ODS for the naming of the update rule. Afterwards I have changed the description of the ODS. I have deleted the old update rule and recreated it. When selecting the source ODS from the F4 picklist the new description can be seen. When the source ODS is selected and the update rule is generated, the old description has appeared again however.
Does anybody knows how this is possible and what can be done about it?
Best regards,
Hans

have you tried regenerating an export DataSource out of the ODS?

Why data in PSA doesn't change when update rule routine is modified?

Hello guys,
why data in PSA is not changed after I modifiied the update rule routine. I created a infopackage which is only to PSA, but it shows me any change. If I changed this infopackage to the one which is assigned to "PSA firstly, and then to Infoobject", then I saw the changes in infoobject, but in PSA, still nothing changed.
I can't figure out the reason. Any hint is welcome!
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Liying

HI..
1) PSA data is like of source system data
2)Update rules are how you update your keyfigures to Data Tragets.
Since you have put upto PSA that is the first data staging in BW so there wont be any change of the data even if you write routines at update rules.
Hope it is clear

Update Rules - Characteristic - cannot accept changes

Hello,
I have a strange issue when I work with Update Rules (I know, old method, no my fault, customer has a solution like this). I need to assign the characteristic, so I open the rule details tab, I select the characteristic and click "method" button. The pop up "change source" appears. Not the matter I select, constant, routine or whatever, when I accept it and when I go back to the rule details tab again, I cannot go further. When I want to accept all of the changes, the pop up with "change source" appears again and again. There is only a possibility to cancel the changes. Did you see something like this before?

Hello,
The solution was to use the program SAP_FACTVIEWS_RECREATE to recreate the views.

Update Rules changes from 1 ODS to another disappear upon activation

Dear Experts,
We have encountered a situation whereby we have an update rule from ODS feeding a field update to another ODS.
This update rule change works correctly as I have debugged it and you can see the resultant changed in the new (40) table. But upon activating this change, the field change disappears.
Can anyone provide an explaination and how I can go about fixing this ?
Thanks
Craig

Hi,
If the data source support deltas and we load the data into ODS then the update type for the keyfig. Amount and the quanty always Choose as "Addition" .So you change the update type for that KF as Addition .

Simple creation of Update Rule from BW Data Source

Hi guys,
 Pertaining standard SAP Business Content extractors
 I am referring to InfoCube : 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions)
 I am attempting to create an Update Rule from Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount)
 This Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount) is connected to BW Data Source(Not R/3!) 0HR_PA_PA_1
 I have created an Info Package for this Info Source and managed to get 15 records{In Contrast to my 68800 Records from Info Source : 0HR_PA_0(Employee)}
 So, when I create an Update Rule to Connect Info Cube: 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions) to Info Source to Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount), I get the following error
ERROR : IC=0PA_C01 IS=0HR_PA_PA_1 error when checking the update rules
Could you please also advice, why do I only get 15 records for Data Source 0HR_PA_PA_1 ?
P/S : I am on BW 3.5

Hey Rohini,
 This Data Source: 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount) is tricky to me because it`s a BW Data Source.
 Exact Error Message is as follows :-
"Error Message : RSAU461
 IC=0PA_C01 IS=0HR_PA_PA_1 error when checking the update rules "
 My Exact Problem is that I don`t see any values for the following fields in my Info Cube : 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions)
Country;
Country Code;
Gender;
Nationality;
Language;
Postal Code;
Region;
Position;
Job;
Payroll Area;
Payroll Group;
Pay Scale's;
Pay Grade's
This is because, this information is supplied by InfoSource : 0HR_PA_PA_1
But I don`t have an Update Rule for this InfoSource in my InfoCube : 0PA_C01
So, that's why I am attempting to create this additional Update Rule
 And also, could someone enlighten me why would SAP not include such a standard Update Rule when they have already idenfied those needed fields in a Cube ? This is suppose to be a STANDARD workable Business Content right ?
P/S: I have applied Note : 336229

"Error when activating update rule" after changing ODS key

Hi Gurus,
I have problem when transporting in productive system an existing ODS & the update rule linked. The message is : "Error when activating update rule".
This is when i move one field from the key to a simple field of the ODS.
Before transporting requests, i deleted data in the ODS by right-click on ODS --> Request tab --> select the request --> click on delete....
I don't understand because i did the same in Qual environment and everything is OK : transport request & ODS loading...
Please help.....

Hello,
Please try to check/perform the following steps:
1- You must ensure for the update rule have mapping between infosources
   and ODS/CUBEs correct, this means that also these objects need
   to be of the same version in the source system of the transport as in
   target system.
2- Please ensure all infoobjects in the cube are active.Please
   reactivate all the objects again in source system.
3- Ensure all infoobjects are found in the communication structure.
4- Please try to collect the update rule via BW transport connection
   with the grouping option "only necessary objects" and then transport
   those objects again.
Could you please reactivate the infocube and its update rules again
and then create a new transport for this infocube and transport it
again.
Best regards,
Paula Csete
