Conversion of DATS to DEC in transfer rule

Dear all,
I have a requirement to Activate mapping field in Infosource - transfer rule.
I have to map ZDATE (datatype - DEC) with ZOLDDATE (Datatype - DATS).
I know it can be directly mapped so DATS field will be automatically converted to DEC like below.
12.07.2010 will be converted to 20.100.712.xxx.xxx
But after mapping it, the dataload time has been increased from 1 hr to 5 hrs.
Do anyone has faced this issue ? how to bringdown the dataload time.
I also wrote a simple routine....but again the dataload timin is affected.
data : l_date type sy-datum,
         tmp TYPE AD_TSTAMP.
l_date = TRAN_STRUCTURE-ABRDT.
CALL FUNCTION 'ADDR_CONVERT_DATE_TO_TIMESTAMP'
EXPORTING
    IV_DATE            = l_date
IV_HIGH            = ' '
IMPORTING
   EV_TIMESTAMP       = tmp.
RESULT = tmp.
Pls give a solution for this problem.
Regards..
Bala

thanks..

Conversion exit error while activating the transfer rules

Hello gurus,
We are doing a function module extraction with 3.X data sources.
On activating the transfer rules , i am getting a conversion exit error for "0fiscyear", but in the infoobject we don't have the conversion exit for it.
Points will be awarded for any kind of response.
Thanks and Regards,
Anu.

Hi,
1. Please check in the transformation, its necessary to provide the fiscal variant mapping as well when ur mapping fiscal year object. as on the basis of that value fiscal period will be derived.
2 I guess ur doing direct mapping (Time conversion) and there is no routine written for that. if any u can check that as well for any error.
Thanks

Transfer rules are not exist for ECC Quality source system in BI Dev

Hi,
I Connected BI Dev system To ECC Dev and installed the sales, purchasing,... data flow, but here i am not getting the quality data to show the reports, to get Quality data I established the connection between BI Dev and ECC QA, while installing the transfer rules for the ECC QA data sources there no transfer rules are exist(only some of them exist) in the business content, but all the update rules,... are exist, when i right on the data source say create transfer rules it is proposing App praposal.
When i select source system as ECC dev while installing the transfer rules i can see all the transfer rules, but when i select source system as ECC QA i can see only some transfer rules.
only problem with transfer rules(some of them exist), for remaining all objects are properly existing in business content for ECC QA source system.
Regards,
chandra

Hi Fayzrakhmanov
Thanks for the quick reply. We are not moving the stuff to QA. We are only connecting QA ECC system to BI Dev. We already have datasources moved to ECC QA and created source system for ECC QA in BI Dev.
The problem is I am not able to get Business Content transful rule for new source system. We I can find some but not all unlike development.
Help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Diff. bt update rules & transfer rules....,

Hi all,
wht is the diff. bt update rules & transfer ruls...,
mainly i want to know that when we use for update & when for transfer rules we have to choose........,
let me know from any one plzzzzzz...,
Regards,
Swetha.

Hi Swetha
Transfer rules :use the transfer rules to determine how you want the transfer structure fields to be assigned to the communication structure InfoObjects
Update Rules :Update rules specify how the data (key figures, time characteristics, characteristics) is updated to data targets from the communication structure of an InfoSource. You are therefore connecting an InfoSource with a data target.
Basically update rules are specific to Data Targets where as Transfer rules applies to InfoSource.When you want rule to apply to all the datatargets from a Infosource ,you write it in Transfer rules.
Hope this helps.

Unable to find Transfer Rules and Data Source for 0PERSON Info Source

Hi,
I'am working on SALES ANALYSIS Configuration with the help of SAP Best Practices.
I'am trying to load Master Data Attributes/Texts/Hierarchies.
I'am able to load for allmost all the InfoPackages which i created for particular DataSource.
Now i need to load master data for 0PERSON InfoObject under that Person (Attributes) and Person (texts) are there,for this 2 Transfer Rules and the DataSource has to be defined by default as it is defined for other Attributes/Texts/Hierarchies.But i'am unable to find a DataSource and Transfer Rules to create a infopackage for PERSON Attributes and Texts.
Please gudie me with a solution in order to get these Transfer Rules and DataSource for this Attributes and Texts.
With regards,
Pradeep.B

Hi,
Install the corresponding master data objects from Business content. Go to data source find out the needed datasource, replicate it. If you want you can migrate it also.
If still you are not getting 0person masterdata object datasource & transformation structure, then you have to create the transformation, Infopackage.
Hope if you will install the business content again, it will solve your problem.

How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.

We are on BW 3.5 and I'm loading data into the 0FIGL_O10 ODS and then uploading the data into the cube 0FIGL_C10. The data loads just fine to the ODS but when I try to 'update the data target' I get a date & time stamp' error on the info-package transfer rules.
I then Replicate the datasource 80FIGL_O01.
I must then 'activate' the transfer rules.
However I cannot get the transfer rules for 80FIGL_O10 in CHANGE MODE to activate them.
How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.
The error text is as follows:
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 has to be replicated (time stamp, see long text)
Message no. R3016
Diagnosis
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 does not have the same status as the source system in the Business Information Warehouse.
The time stamp in the source system is 02/15/2007 10:42:33.
The time stamp in the BW system is 11/07/2006 13:11:54.
System response
The load process has been terminated.
Procedure
Copy the DataSource again and then activate the transfer rules that belong to it. You have to activate the transfer rules in every case, even if they are still active after the DataSource has been copied.
Thanks for your assistance.

How to debug a transfer rule during data load?

I am conducting a flat file (excel sheet saved as a CSV file) data load. The flat file contains a date field and the value is '12/18/1988'. In transfer rule for this field, I use a function call to transfer this value to '19881218' which corresponds to BW DATS format, but the monitor of the InfoPackage shows red error:
"Value '1981218' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces".
Somehow, the last digit or character of the year 1988 was cut and the year grabbed is 198 other than 1988. The function code is (see below in between two * lines):
FUNCTION ZDM_CONVERT_DATE.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(CHARDATE) TYPE STRING
*" EXPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(DATE) TYPE D
DATA:
c_date(2) TYPE c,
c_month(2) TYPE c,
c_year(4) TYPE c,
c_date_combined(8) TYPE c.
data: text(10).
text = chardate.
search text for '/'.
if sy-fdpos = 1.
concatenate '0' text into text.
endif.
c_month = text(2).
c_date = text+3(2).
c_year = text+6(4).
CONCATENATE c_year c_month c_date INTO c_date_combined.
date = c_date_combined.
ENDFUNCTION.
Could experts here tell me what's wrong and also tell me on how to debug a transfer rule during data load?
Thanks

hey Bhanu/AHP,
I find the reason. Originally, I set the character length for the date InfoObject ZCHARDAT1 to 9, then I find the date field value (12/18/1988)length is 10. Then I modified the InfoObject ZCHARDAT1 length from 9 to 10 and activated it already. But when defining the transfer rule for this field, before the code screen, click the radio button "Selected Fields" and pick the filed /BIC/ZCHARDAT1, then continue to go to the transfer rule code screen, but find the declaration lines for the infoObject /BIC/ZCHARDAT1 is as following:
InfoObject ZCHARDAT1: CHAR - 000009
    /BIC/ZCHARDAT1(000009) TYPE C,
That means even if I've modified the length to 10 for the InfoObject and activated it, but somehow the transfer rule code screen always takes the old length 9. Any idea to have it fixed to take the length 10 in the transfer rule code screen defination?
Thanks

The sme variable in data selection of inpopackage and value in transfer rul

Hello
I would like to use the same variable in data selection of infopackage (1) and as a value in transfer rules (2).
Example :
If I pass 1 I want to see value1 in data selection of infopackage (1) and as a value in transfer rules (2).
If I pass 2 I want to see value2 in data selection of infopackage (1) and as a value in transfer rules (2).
How is possible?

Hi Aleks,
In the transfer routine your code would be something similar to this:
zvar is a variable
select LOW from RSLDPSEL into zvar where LOGDPID = '<Technical name of Infopackage>' and IOBJNM = '<The Info-object whose value you want to use>'.
*Now assign the value
RESULT = zvar.
Hope this helps.
Bye

Hi,
The summary of both posts:
Use a formula

As you understand, the difference will be in days.

Unable to collect Update/Transfer rules Info & Data sources from BI content

Hi,
We are tyring to activate Infoprovider 0PY_CO2 from BI content by selecting the option - In data before. BI is unable to collect all corresponding objects such as Update rules, Info source, transfer rules and the data source for the selected Infoprovider. Only Info area and associated info objects are being collected for the installation.
We are experiencing same problem whilst acitvating most of the info providers. However, in some cases, either of these objects get activated but not all the necessary objects that feed data to the Infoprovider (cube or multi provider).
Also, Infopackages and Info object catalogs are not being collected for any objects activated/installed so fare from the BI content.
We are trying to activate BW 3.5 content on the BI 7.0 environment. BI Content release is 703 and support pack level is 008.
Kindly share any pointers to troubleshoot this probelm please.
Thanks
Venkat

Shiv,
For some Info providers, all associated info objects(including transfer & update rules and info source and data sources) are getting collected and got successfuly installed. But this is true for only 10% of the Info providers that we have installed so far.
Remaining all the objects, we are unable to proceed further.
Thanks
Venkat.

Table for Data source and Transfer rule mapping

Hi all,
Do we have any table where in we can know the different transfer rules(for different source systems) assigned to the same Data source.
thanks and regards,
Rk.

thank you all,
the table RSDS does not have 3.x data sources, it has only 7.0 Data sources also it does not have the field mapping.
RSOSFIELDMAP and RSTSRULES have the field mapping of the datasources, do we have any similiar tables for 7.0 Datasources.
regards,
RK

No transfer rules for FI master data sources

Hi all
I didnt get transfer rules for some of the FI master datasources.
0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER
0NEG_POSTNG_TEXT
0ITEMSELFLG_TEXT
When I right click on datasource->create transfer rules->Only other option is enabled.WHen I say continue I am getting this error
*Infosource(transaction data) is not known.
How to resolve this isssue.
Thanks.

Double click on the data source and go to edit mode, system automatically provides the corresponding BI content infosources if any and install the same.
Not all the fields will be mapped with BI info objects. Only necessary ones as defined in BI content will be available for you.
If you feel the mapping is incomplete you can modify the same according to the requirement.
Hope this helps.

Rangz

1.Replicate the datasource.
2.Assign Infosource
3.Create transfer rules
4.Maintain the update rules to the cube.
