Characteristic as export datasouce

Hi,
I've one Master data characteristic and I want it to feed to another Master Data characteristic. I've done following things:
1. Have made both characteristics as DataProviders, and thus both appear on InfoProvider tab.
2. Have set the flag for first Master data characteristic as export datasource.
How can I assign this export datasource to second Master data characterisitc?
Regards,
Vikrant.

<i>I'm unable to find it in infosource tab</i>
This could be because u did not turned the show generated objects option in IS.
go to Info source > Settings (menu) > Display Generated Objects
then Show generate obects.
now you can find your 8ZMD1 IS

  • How to export an InfoObject as a DataSource

    Hi, Gurus,
    Would you please help me get answer for the following question? Thanks.
    1. How to load master/text/hierarchy data from one IO into another IO? Once in IO's master data/text tab, I assigned application component to this IO, then I could find the related datasource via T-code 'RSA6', however only Text/Hierarchy available in RSA6, even I select the checkbox 'characteristic is export data source', I still can not find the related master data source in RSA6.
    2. I double click the item listed by RSA6, when back, system log always tells me that 'Application component DM-IO of Datasource 8XXXX doesnot exist', and even I rename the related application component to the correct assigned application component, system still prompts this warning, so how to fix it?
    3. When I want to assign this BW server as the source system to one InfoObject, I can not find the datasource which is listed in RSA6, so how to fix it?
    And when I generate the export data source on one InfoCube, I also can not find the related datasouce when I assign Source System (this BW server) to another InfoCube? So please help me on this.
    Thanks

    answer to your question no:1
    As you figured out by enabling a characteristic as an export data source will create datasources of itself in the myself BW system. In your case you are unable to see the master data ds - have you enabled master data for this infoobject??? I assume you have enabled only text and characteristic for this object in the infoobject maintenance screen.
    answer to your question no:2
    The generated ds in RSA6 is under node DM-IO which in turn is under "Nodes not Connected". Create a new node DM and move DM-IO under this new node, save and exit. Come back to RSA6 and you should not have this problem reappear again.
    answer to your question no:3
    go to source system connnection. click on myself system, replicate datasources and you should find the export ds of your infoobject! i assume you know how to connect it to another infoobject from there...
    i assume the final question that you posed is related to question:3. Replication of myself system should do the trick...

  • Unable to generate "Export data source" for Master data infoobject

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm in BW 3.5
    I need to generate "Export data source" for a master data info object.
    I followed below steps:
        I ticked the checkbox "Characterist. is export data source" in the master data Info object maintenance screen.
        In the Infosource area, for the desired Infoobject --> Right click --> Generate export datasource --> a dialog box displays saying "The generation of DataSource  was successful"
    Problem:
    Even after refreshing, etc.. I couldn't find the generated datasource 8**** for the above master data. I also tried to replicate the datasource from the myself source system, but couldn't find it even there. I don't know where the generated export data source is hiding ???
    Could anyone please help ????
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat,
    I guess that after creating an export datasource for infoobject this DS should appear in the RSA1-Source systems - MYSELF - datasource overview (with name starting with 8). Since it's a datamart, it should appear also as system generated infosource. And in this case you would be able to assign in URs of data target the appropriate infosource (make sure that in Infoproviders tab of RSA1 you have inserted your infoobject as a data target).
    However, there are some bugs related to export data source. CHeck if you see you export data source in RSA6.
    If you don't see it - consider applying OSS Note #816892 - "30BSP26: Export DS for master data is not generated".
    Note #876845 - "30BSP29: InfoObject change: Export DataSource not adjusted" is also may be useful.

  • MD export datasource not shown in MySelf (BW3.5) datasources

    A user-defined (simple) InfoObject (NUMC-7), characteristic, has selected 'With Master Data', but NO texts.
    It also does not have any attributes, compound characteristics or hierarchies.
    So, it is a simple 'table of codes' without any text.
    The object is defined as an InfoProvider and the InfoArea is set (and exists). We can see it there.
    Also, the 'Characterist. is export datasource' is selected.
    The M- and P-tables are generated, the object is activated successfully.
    After (several) replication of datasources with the 'MySelf' system and activating the structures (ABAP program RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL which we always use after replication), we can not see the generated export datasource (default: "8<objectname>M") in the list when executing RSA3.
    Who can help us with this problem?
    Did we do something wrong? Or is it not possible because there are no attributes (other objects that have real attributes and no texts are visible in RSA3)?
    We need to distribute the values of this object to other BW-systems (which therefore require this export datasource...).
    Thanks,
    Theo van Amstel
    [email protected]

    Hi Dinesh,
    Yes I did, but as described in the initial description: the InfoObject is visible within the InfoArea defined in the InfoObject (so not in the Unassigned), that is not the problem. Activating an object that is defined as 'export datasource' should, according to my knowledge, be visisble in the RSA3-list.
    But thanks anyway...

  • Loading master data from another infoObject (generate export datasource)

    Hi All,
    We are using a 0MATERIAL that is loaded every day, and we would like to use another infoObject that contains data updated every end of last month (and ont daily).
    For instance, on 15th april, we would like use data from 31th march and not 15th april.
    We saw that we could use "Generate export datasourse" from 0MATERIAL to the nex infoObject.
    1) Is there the best solution?
    2) If yes, could you explain us how to do this (generate export datasource), because we didn't do this?
    3) Do we do this from InfoObject (0MATERIAL) or Infosource?
    Thank you.

  • How to load delta to 2 target ODS 's from a single ODS using process chains

    Hi BW Gurus
    I am having a current ODS based on 2LIS_02_SCL, deltas also are working fine for it.
    our  requirement was based to have 2 target ODS on this existing ODS by using export generate datasource.
    I have to build a process chain that should enable us to load delta in our target ODS.
    Earlier manually for DEV purposes ,i was using the Update data into data targets from the source ODS, this was enabling us to load deltas. But to automate this process we will require a process chain.
    Finally , is there any process type in process chain for " Export generate Datasource".
    please suggest a good methodology for this scenario.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ashfaq,
       Loading from ODS to CUBE is same as loading from datasource to ODS only.
    1. Create export datasource.
    2. Create update rules from ODS(export datasouce) to CUBE.
    3. Create infopackages(if you dont want to use generated once).
    4. include infopackage in process chain to load fromODS to CUBE.
        Intialize first manually and change settings in process chain infopackage to "Delta".
    5. You can append/enhance existing process chain(loading from datasource to ODS).
    Hope it Helps

  • Problem when transporting datasource

    Hi!
    I want to transport datasource 8ZC_PRCUSTM and 8ZC_PRCUSTT and but i have a return code 8 with these messages:
    <i>Extract structure /BIC/CE8ZC_PRCUSTM is not active
    The extract structure /BIC/CE8ZC_PRCUSTM of the DataSource 8ZC_PRCUSTM is invalid

    The extract structure /BIC/CE8ZC_PRCUSTT of the DataSource 8ZC_PRCUSTT is invalid
    Errors occurred during post-handling RSA2_DSOURCE_AFTER_IMPORT for OSOA L
    The errors affect the following components:
        BC-BW (BW Service API)</i>
    I try to solve it myself but i found nothing that's why i ask you some help.
    I don't understand the first error since when i double-click on the datasource in rsa6 and then in the extract structure i see the status active. I try to replicate the datasource. Then i did the transport again but i have still thes messages.
    Can you help me please?
    Thanks by advance,

    hi Laurent,
    8ZC_PRCUSTM and 8ZC_PRCUSTT are datasources generated by system when we do generate export datasource for infoobject,
    the flag indicates that characteristic has export datasource,
    normally generate export datasources are not transported but done in target system, for infoobject you can try rsa1->infosource->find your characteristic ZC_PRCUST, and right click 'generate export datasource'
    (do replicate datasource from bw myself source system if necessary)
    hope this helps.

  • Datamart between master data of same system

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding datamart. My scenario is I need to update an infoobject, 0abc from one master data (e.g. 0product) to another master data of the same infoobject(e.g. 0material). Both of the master data infoobjects were check for 'Characteristic is export data source'. I have tried the datamart via update rules but the options does not allow this.
    Any other ideas of resolving this issue?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Lye

    Hi Lye,
    your datasource is located under DM-IO (in RSA6), but it's not assigned to any infosource...so, build your infosource and then assign the datasources generated (after a BW my-self replication)...after doing this, then you can link your target to an infosource in  the update rules creation !
    Hope it helps (and don't forget to assign some points by clickin'on the star to the contributors that help you !!!)

  • Calculated virtual characteristic

    Hello,
    I need to create a characteristic which is calculated virtual runtime of the query.
    This must be calculated from an input variable that is associated with the feature query Date Mat., (Which is the condition of the filter (>=)) therefore take out the query all records in the cube whose date of CBs is> = the date entered on screen) and the expiration date of the records obtained at the office.
    As you can see the calculation is done with the same property but using the input variable.
    The code would be:
    No. days = date input variable Mat - date vto.registro read.
    No if days> = 0 or n º days <= 30.
    characteristic virtual = '0 - 30 '
    endif.
    This code is to be implemented in this project or the expansion RSR00002 RSR_OLAP_BADI badi, but what is not very clear to me is like I can read the value of the input variable ..
    Sincerely,

    Hey.  The way I have done this in the past is to catch the variable value in the variables user exit and then store that value to be used/looked up later in the virtual object user exit.
    What you will want to look at is doing an export to memory on the variable value entered (that you get in the variable user exit) and then an import from memory in the virtual exit.  I believe the code syntax is something like...
    EXPORT TO MEMORY xxx ID yyy
    IMPORT FROM MEMORY zzz ID yyy
    Here, xxx and zzz are the fields you are dealing with.  I'm going from memory here, so the syntax may be a little different but the idea is the same.
    Thanks

  • Characteristic Relationship

    I am using a characteristic relationship (without derivation) on Employee for Cost Center.
    I have a cube that contains Key figures for each period for each planned cost center (with employee = #). I am wanting to copy these key figures to the employees within each cost center.
    ex:
    CC   Plan Hrs
    1238  155
    2345  200
    3425  175
    I have employee 10134 (CC = 1238)
    I am wanting to use ONE copy function to copy all key figures changing Employee:
    Employee = # to Employee = 10134
    I was hoping setting the Characteristic relationship would only copy the plan hours according to Master Cost Center (155 hours to 10134, etc). Instead, it will fail stating
    "Combination '10134,DEL/2345' is invalid; Valid is '10134,DEL/1238': Characteristic 0EMPLOYEE'".
    How can I set this characteristic relationship to only allow the copy to employees within the cost center without having it fail? I do not want to allow this function to copy the KF for CC 3425 to employees within another cost center.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    it seems that you have combinations employee = #, CC = DEL/2345 in your copy source, the system then tries to copy such combinations to  '10134,DEL/2345' and this combination is not valid. This will only happen in the special case that you have employee = # as copy source and 10134 as target and employee is the only field to be changed, i.e. source and target have only single value selections.
    You can work around this effect as follows: allow more more values in the target for employee or by adding CC to the fields to be changed (if this characteristic is not restricted to a single value in the filter used in the planning function).
    Another option is to decomment the following lines in class CL_RSPLFC_COPY, method IF_RSPLFA_SRVTYPE_IMP_EXEC_REF~EXECUTE
            ELSE.
            .... restriction to single values => check the combination (much faster)

  • Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

    Post Author: cpriyanka
    CA Forum: Exporting
    I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
    I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
    And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
    Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
    My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
    In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
    To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
    I appreciate your help.

    Hello,
    Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports?  If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
    If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
    Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used.  The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:
