Copy-function: Where to select data-target?

Hi experts,
First, I worked on a cube for consolidation and created several input ready queries.
Second, I have buid-up a second cube for disribution planning. (Because there are lots of additional dimensions being used; such as country, region, products[...]).
Now, I want to copy planned turnover in distribution cube to consolidation cube. In other threads I've read, that it would be possible to copy data from cube to cube.
The problem is that I don't find any properties defining the data-target.
So. what needs to be done to reach my goals? Do I have to buid-up a multiprovider as well?
Thanks a lot for your hints!
Regard, Martin

Hi Martin,
copy function can only copy from a char value to another value. It can not copy between key figures.
For this you need a fox formula.
Copy functions in BI IP will always overwrite the values that were in the target before it is run.
Fox functions usually will also overwrite the values that were there before the function is run. If you want to do it different, your fox code would have to include some checks and so on.
if you do not change other characteristics, you take only the 0Info_prov into the fields to be changed and make a formula like:
{keyfigtarget, infoprovtarget} = {keyfigsource, infoprovsource}.
when including the function button into a web template you can choose:
planning function simple - you will need a data provider type filter or query to fill info the selection binding
planning function - you can choose you "filter" by naming each individual char that has to be restricted while running the function
planning sequence - aggrlevel, filter and function are fixed in the sequence
I usually prefer sequences (I trust them more than the selections for individual functions)

Copy Function with Single selection of row

I want to copy necessary Planning items in my Input ready query from period 1 to remaining periods based on variable entries. To achieve this I have created a copy planning function to copy amount entered in period 1 (variable) to range of posting period variable entries (e.g. 2 -12 or 6-12).
I have created structure for GL accounts and I want to copy from period 1 to 2 - 12 for one row at a time.
I have created WAD template, I selected in behavior section of Analysis item, single with command option and assigned Planning sequence (consisting of copy function) as command.
On execution of WAD, I select single row in my input ready query and instead of one row getting copied over to the range of posting period, all rows consisting of Planning Items with amount are getting copied over, which I am not expecting with single selection option.
How can I have only one row getting copied over?
Am I am missing something?
Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sachin

Hello Gregor,
Thanks for your response. I tried what you have suggested and also followed the documentation, not sure why it is not working as expected
In my variable I have characterictis such as:
Version
Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year Variant
Profit Center
In my rows:
Planning Item
Columns:
Period
Amount
In behavior I have selected Row Selection Single. I am using Button group and assigned following:
Command: Execute a Planning Function -> In Data Binding -> Selection Binding -> Characteristic -> Planning Item -> Binding Type -> Item Characteristic -> Web Item Selection -> Item Binding -> Query (Analysis Item) -> Characteristic -> Planning item.
For Variable I have defined nothing.
Do you think my settings are correct?

Selective Data target deletion - Job

Hi,
Is it possible to do selective deletion of data targets for a scheduled intervals.
For example,
On 1st of every month, a job has to get scheduled deleting the past 15 days of record from the infocube. And subsequently, updated data for the last 15 days will be pushed in to the infocube from an RFC.
Please let me know for any clarifications.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there:
The alternative we took is based on this Wiki.
"Using Selective Deletion in Process Chains"
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/603a9558-0af1-2b10-86a3-c685c60071bc?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
To avoid using hardcode we created a Custom Table that is read by an ABAP Program located on the InfoPackage, on that Table we store the input parameters: InfoCube Name, any Characteristic present on the InfoCube, Operator (EQ or BT) and start/end values in case of a range.

Function Module for selecting date by day

Is there any function module to choose date by day. for example if I give today's date the FM should give me next thursday's date.
Thanks
Tharani

this works good........
*& Report YCHATEST                                                    *
REPORT YCHATEST
data:day like DTRESR-WEEKDAY.
parameters:curr_dat like sy-datum default sy-datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_DAY'
EXPORTING
    DATE          = CURR_DAT
IMPORTING
   WEEKDAY       = day.
write : / day.
case day.
when 'Monday'.
   CURR_DAT = CURR_DAT + 3.
when 'Tuesday'.
   CURR_DAT = CURR_DAT + 2.
when 'Wed.'.
   CURR_DAT = CURR_DAT + 1.
when 'Thursday'.
   CURR_DAT = CURR_DAT + 7.
when 'Friday'.
   CURR_DAT = CURR_DAT + 6.
when 'Sat.'.
   CURR_DAT = CURR_DAT + 5.

   CURR_DAT = CURR_DAT + 4.
endcase.
write :/ CURR_DAT.

Using function(s) to select date range in a computation.

Hello
Within my ApEx report, I would like to be able to have data returned from within a date range selected by the user. Under "Compute" there are lots of "Functions" (Least, Greatest, Last_Day, etc.) but so far I have not been able to find the right syntax for date range.
This seems so simple - any help appreciated.
Thanks
Paul S.

I do not use APEX but is the BETWEEN operator available to you?
Normally to select a date range you just write code like
select ....
from table_t
where date_col between to_date(start_date,'format') and to_date(end_date,'format')
or
where date_col >= to_date(start_date,'format')
and date_col < to_date(end_date,'format') + 1
as this form eliminates worrying about the time component.

No reference data for copy function between two infoproviders

Hello,
I am trying to copy data from an actuals cube into a plan cube. Both cubes are assigned to the same multi provider.
The planning function is defined as follows:
Characteristics to be changed: InfoProvider (from: Actual; to: Plan)
Condistions: none
To keep it simple I am using a filter with no entries.
When I am executing the copy function with a trace I find that the function reads the entries from the Plan Cube (which I expected) but it does not generate the entries that are available in the Actuals Cube in the plan cube (which I hoped it would do). It seems that the function cannot find any reference values in the Actuals cube.
The structure of the two cubes is different. Could this be the reason that the copy function does not work?
I will appreciate any hints.
Cheers,
Sven

Hi,
The structure of the cubes being different is not a problem. Anyway, the records get aggregated depending on the characteristics you have included in the aggregation level on which the copy function is created. Because you say not even one record is getting copied from the actuals cube I feel there is some basic problem. Check the below things (some might sound very basic but I am just noting them)
1) Actual cube has data in an active request with green status
2) You have identified the characteristics and key figures properly in the multiprov (on which the aggregation level is built) from both the cubes.
3) In the copy function, you have selected the desired KFs to be copied.

APD Analysis Process Designer - CRM Data Target

Hi,
I have now defined the DataTarget and by "Release data target for Replication from SAP BW" I get the error:
Error when processing function module /SVC/OBJ_F4_<MyDataTarget>
what does it mean and how can I solve this situation?
Thanks
FedeX

Hi!
in case if you are not able to find the docu...here is the docu helop for the function group...
"The function group CRMBW_ADAPTERS combines function modules that are necessary for implementing a data target adapter as part of the data upload from SAP BW. You can use the function modules delivered by SAP as a template for new adapters (for example, you can copy them).
The function modules contained in this function group are divided into the following areas on the basis of their naming convention:
o Function modules for defining data targets
- CRMBW_OBJ_F4_*
- CRMBW_DET_F4_*
- CRMBW_CHECK_*
o Function modules for designing the analysis process
- CRMBW_LIST_*
- CRMBW_DETAIL_*
o Function modules for the data upload
- CRMBW_UPDATE_*
The placeholder * stands for a data target adapter defined in the IMG activity .
The corresponding adapter modules are called up dynamically during runtime at the appropriate points in the program, using the name of the data target adapter and applying the following program logic:
CONCATENATE l_namespace l_nameconvention
l_function l_target INTO l_funcname.
TRY.
CALL FUNCTION l_funcname
 EXPORTING
 IMPORTING
 TABLES
CATCH cx_root.
 l_msgv1 = l_funcname.
 CALL FUNCTION 'BALW_BAPIRETURN_GET2'
 EXPORTING
 type = 'E'
 cl = 'CRMBW_ATTR_WRITE'
 number = '005'
 par1 = l_msgv1
 IMPORTING
 return = ls_return.
 APPEND ls_return TO et_return.
ENDTRY.
Consequently, if a function module does not exist or errors occurred when calling it up, a runtime error is not issued directly. Instead, the error is returned as a message in the return table for the instance calling up the function module.
If you want to create customer-specific data target adapters, observe the following:
o Define the ID for the data target adapter in the IMG activity . Ensure that your entry begins with the letter Y or Z to avoid any naming conflicts with subsequent SAP enhancements.
o In this function group, implement adapter modules that begin with the namespace stored in the IMG activity mentioned above and with the naming convention, and that also fulfil the naming convention listed under Integration. In this way, you ensure that there are no naming conflicts with subsequent SAP deliveries.
o To provide the data upload with full support, implement all six adapter modules.
With the following entry in the IMG activity , implement the function modules listed below.
Data Target Adapter Namespace Naming Convention
ZTARGET /COMPANY/ MYLOAD_
Function Modules
/COMPANY/MYLOAD_OBJ_F4_ZTARGET
/COMPANY/MYLOAD_DET_F4_ZTARGET

How to initialize delta for a new data target

Hi
I have an ODS from which there are several other targets getting updated thru an export datasource. The delta initialization happend some 6 months back. I now have a new ODS into which i need to load the data from the original ODS. How can i initialise the delta to my new target without changing the delta initialization of the other targets and continue the delta for all of them together?
can i use the same initialization for my new target??
If i do a full update and then a initialise w/o data transfer, will the further delta bring the data from the correct point, is there a possiblity of data loss??
Regards,
Sujai

Hi Ajay,
the steps are as follows.
1 delete the initialization. open infopackage >> menu scheduler >> Initialization options for source systems >> delete the request thats there.
2. Now go to the Update tab of the infopack >> select option Initialize Delta process >> check the option initialize without Data transfer
3. Goto Schedule tab and start the job.
here the data targets will be all the targets the infopack loads.
4. Create a new infopack
5. goto Data targets tab >> select data targets >> put a check on your new ODS/Cube
6. Goto Update tab >> select the option Full update
7. goto menu Scheduler >> select Repair full request >> put a check on Indicate request as Repair Request >> hit OK
8. Goto schedule tab >> start the job.
9. Continue with the existing Delta infopack that was load the old ODS/Cubes and make sure your new ODS/Cube is also cheked for the delta.

APD and Data Target in CRM

Hi,
I have created ADS in CRM through EEWB with BI info objects.
Now I want to load this ADS table through APD from BI to CRM.
for that I am creating APD in BI with category as general.
I have selected data target as CRM
In that I am giving the appropriate logical system .
In the second dropdown which is for Data Targets : Here I am not getting ADS ( Analytica Data Source ) as my Data Target.
In CRM table BWTARGETS it is there with all attributes.
Also in CRM SPRO the data Target is Available with name as CACHE.
Path in SPRO : SPRO -> Integration with other mysap components -> Data Transfer from SAP Business Information Warehouse -> Define ID for data target adapters.
Let me know what I am missing in above process to get data target ADS in APD design ?

Hi
Just create a Process Chain to execute this APD method, if the process Chain is already available, then just insert this Process in to the process Chain and execute the Process Chain by normal process, by hoe we do in general.
Hope it solves...

The data target is not appeared in the Infopackage under datatagets tab.

Hi thanks for your response, i eloboreted my problem below pl see,
In the Info Cube structure i check the Trassactinal check box, In the Infopackage level under the data targets tab i selected the 'Select data targets' radio button icon but the data target is not appeared in the table.pl give me a suggetion in which location can i make a change.
Thanks & Regards

its very urgent
thanks in advance
bharath kumar

Hi,
After creating Start variant, select Data Targets in left side, find out which one you want to create PC. Drag and drop that Data Target ODS into right side, and select info package and ods activation.
For Master data also the same you have select Attr Change run.
Connect the links from Start variant to data targets.

Copy functionality

I have a tabbed layout page which contains several VOs which all contain information related to 1 "object". There is now a request for a COPY functionality, where the user can click a button and a new copy of this "object" is made (including the information in each of the VOs). This copy will need a new ID (PK) value generated and this new ID will need to be updated on all records in each VO.
What is the best way to achieve this? Would it be to call a PL/SQL package in the background to make the copy for me, and then re-query it in the application - or should the copy be done programatically?
Thanks in advance

This works OK but I have 1 issue.
Is it possible to chose commit/non commit the previous record before the new record shows up?
I have scenario where I query for existing record and make changes and then when I click button to create duplicate record, system does not ask whether I should save it before new record is shown. When I save new record, old 1 gets saved as well which I dont want to happen.
I want the system to ask if changes need to be saved for current record before new record is shown.
Any help?

COPY function on a Multiprovider - - Not saving data

Hi,
Im facing a wierd problem.
Im tryin to run the COPY function on a Multiprovider.
I've selected 2 fields as 'To be Changed' : 0INFOPROV and 0VTYPE. and 1 KF (ZACCINS) to be copied.
I tried to run the PF through a Planning Sequence in 'Execute with Trace Mode'. The result of which is shown below for 1 block.
Series Data ChangeInd ValueType ZACCINS Infoprovider
1      Before      Unchanged 10           2,000.00 ZHR_R10
1      After         Unchanged 10           2,000.00 ZHR_R10
2      After          New          20           2,000.00 ZHR_R20
3      Reference Data           10           2,000.00 ZHR_R10 .
So far so good.
Now I clicked on Save Plan data. Now when I try to view the Contents of the Target Cube (ZHR_R20), it does not display any data.
Just to cross check, I have created a query on the Multiprovider and tried to call the same PF through the Analyzer. On click of the button, the system displays the "NEW" rows that were generated. Now, on clicking 'SAVE AREA', the newly generated rows disappear!!
Again to cross check, I have deleted old requests in RSA1 for ZHR_R20 and tried to execute the function again wherein a new request was generated. On changing the Request to Green(Status OK),the Added Records and TRANSFERED RECORDS are shown as 5.( the number of records in Source cube which im trying to copy = 5 in ZHR_R10).
Have also checked the Fact table of ZHR_R20 but could not find any entries in the table... Not sure where the problem could be !!

System info as follows:
SAP_BW     700     0013     SAPKW70013     SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0

Hi Ravi,
The parameters are set propely:
InfoProvider: Staff Costs Actual; Value Type for Reporting: Actual - From Change
InfoProvider: Staff Costs Plan; Value Type for Reporting: Plan - To Change .
Can you pls explain why do you think the function was not executed properly.. Iam absolutely clueless with this behaviour ... I have been tryin many number of times but in vain. The behaviour is the same. Each time I execute the PF, the Transferred records and Added records count keep on increasing .. but with no contents in the cube... .

Copy function results in Error 1430 when the target path terminal is &ltNot A Path

Hello all.
I'm having a little bit of trouble with the Copy function under LabView 8.2. If I wire <Not A File> to the target path terminal, I get an Error 1430 (The path is empty or relative.) from the Copy File function's error out terminal. According the the manual, wiring <Not a File> to the target path terminal should cause the Copy function to display a dialog box prompting the user to select a file.
I've attached a sample VI which demonstrates this issue. Is the documentation for the Copy function incorrect, or is something I'm doing wrong in my VI causing the error?
Thanks,
Mark Moss

Hi Mark,
Thanks for bring this to our attention. I believe the documentation is incorrect here, as you suggested. When nothing is wired to the target path terminal, it behaves as expected (prompting the user to select a target directory).
I will look into this further and report this issue to our LabVIEW documentation team.
