Creation of OLAP Variable for Master data

Dear BW Experts,
How to Create OLAP Variable for Master data in SAP BW? What is the use of OLAP Variable?

The entry column Type (Variable) on the Select Data tabpage indicates a variable time frame in which the data should be requested. The variables are not replaced by concrete values until a request is made. There are eight options:
Variable Data request Description
0
 Yesterday
 (12am 12am)
1
 Last week
 (Monday-Sunday)
2
 Last month
 (1. (First day - last day of previous month)
3
 Last quarter
 (1. (First day - last day of previous quarter)
4
 Last year
 (01. (January 1 Dec 31 of previous year)
5
 User time selection
 See below
6
 ABAP routines
 See below
7
 OLAP variables
 See below
Time selections with the help of the variables 0 to 4.
The variables 0-4 only refer to date fields of the data type DATS.
User time selection
Type 5 gives you a free selection of all fields.
If you select this variable for a field, confirm the selection, and then choose Detail for Type, an additional dialog box appears. In this dialog box you can freely limit the values of the fields and determine the next period value and the number of periods until a repetition.
Variables are placeholders for values and are not replaced by concrete values until a data request is made. You can also use a Variable for selections when requesting data for an InfoObject, if you choose type 7, confirm the selection, and then choose Detail for Type.

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

Can't find 0FYTLFP OLAP Variable in InfoPackage Data Selection tab on 3.5

On BW 3.5, when generating an InfoPackage with the datasource as Purchasing Data(80PUR_C01), under Data Selection tab, for the InfoObject 0FISCPER, I selected 7 (OLAP variables)for the Type column, then click the button next to it and under the column of Details for Type to bring up a window, but when expending the OLAP Variable field list, can't find the following value in the list which shows up on BW 3.1:
0FYTLFP     0FISCPER Cumulated to Last Fiscal Year/Period (SAP Exit)
How to make the above value show up in the OLAP Variable list?   I thought maybe the variable 0FYTLFP needs to be installed in Business Contents, but there is no variable object type in Business Content. It sounds like a SAP Exit, but how to make the SAP Exit value show up on BW 3.5?
Thanks for everyone's input!

hey Rohit,
Besides the three variable values in the list on BW 3.5, now I find a new one in the list, called "0E_ROLE     0SR_ROLE     Role (SAP Exit)", I have no idea why this one shows up now. Now all the four variables in the list are:
1. 0CML12LM     0CALMONTH     Last 12 Months Excluding the Current Month
2. 0CMONTH     0CALMONTH     Current Calendar Month
3. 0E_ROLE     0SR_ROLE     Role (SAP Exit)
4. 0S_RQMRC     0REQUID     Most Current Data
0FYTLFP is still not in the list!   We can't try to create BEx query since our BW 3.5 system is just installed and we have not got to the step to ceate a query. I try the 2nd way you suggested by pressing F6 on this variable with the typed in value 0FYTLFP, get the following msg "BEx variable 0FYTLFP could not be evaluated - No error message", that means it would not work on BEx query as well, right?
What could be the reason that we can't see 0FYTLFP variable in our new installed BW 3.5? Do you think our BASIS missed installing sth?
Thanks

Creating OLAP variables for infopackages

Hello Gurus,
I am interested in creating an "z" OLAP variable and then use in the DATA SELECTION in the infopackage,
Where can I create the same?
Thanks in advance.

Step by step OLAP variable for Infopackage

Hi Experts
I have been thru all the threads but am still not clear how to accomplish this. I am not an ABAPer so am trying to do this in Bex.
I am in BI 7.0. I want to create an OLAP variable for 0CO_OM_CCA_9 infopackage to select all cost centers for one 0comp_code.
I've tried creating a query as well as variable but I can't seem to get it to work.
I think the problem is all of the various possibilities of Settings in the variable creation i.e. Processed by, repalcement path, etc
Thanks very much for your help !

Thank you very much Sven ! This is exactly what I needed.
I have a couple of additional questions.
Do I use the variable in this query somewhere or just create it on the Cube?
For Replacement Rule do I choose query and use the query I've just created or choose variable ?
I have done this with query in replacement Rule and I can't see my variable in the list for selections in my Infopackage.
Thanks for your help

DTP for Master data

Hi Guys,
How to extract master data and hierarchies from ECC into BI infoobjects?
Do we follow the same procedure for loading master/hierarchy data as for transaction data - i.e. Load into PSA and then create Transformations and DTPs to load into infoobjects? If so, what is the best approach as far as Full/Delta loads.
1. Is it ok to do a full load into PSA (using infopackage) and then do a full load always (The process chains for master data would be running nightly).
or
2. Should we have 2 infopackages (full and delta) into PSA and then multiple DTPs. (The process chains for master data would be running nightly).
Regards.

Indicator: Only Get Delta Once
Source requests of a DTP for which this indicator is set are only transferred once, even if the DTP request is deleted in the target.
Use
If this indicator is set for a delta DTP, a snapshot scenario is built.
A scenario of this type may be required if you always want an InfoProvider to contain the most up-to-date dataset for a query but the DataSource on which it is based cannot deliver a delta (new, changed or deleted data records) for technical reasons. For this type of DataSource, the current dataset for the required selection can only be transferred using a 'full update'.
In this case, a DataStore object cannot usually be used to determine the missing delta information (overwrite and creation of delta). If this is not logically possible because, for example, data is deleted in the source without delivering reverse records, you can set this indicator and perform a snapshot scenario. Only the most up-to-date request for the DataSource is retained in the InfoProvider. Earlier requests for the DataSource are deleted from the (target) InfoProvider before a new one is requested (this is done by a process in a process chain, for example). They are not transferred again during the DTP delta process. When the system determines the delta when a new DTP is generated, these earlier (source) requests are seen as 'already fetched'.
Setting this indicator ensures that the content of the InfoProvider is an exact representation of the source data.
Dependencies
Requests that need to be fetched appear with this indicator in the where-used list of the PSA request, even is they have been deleted. Instead of a traffic light you have a delete indicator.
Get Data by Request
This indicator belongs to a DTP that gets data from a DataSource or InfoPackage in delta mode.
Use
If you set this indicator, a DTP request only gets data from an individual request in the source.
This is necessary, for example, if the dataset in the source is too large to be transferred to the target in a single request.
Dependencies
If you set this indicator, note that there is a risk of a backlog: If the source receives new requests faster than the DTP can fetch them, the amount of source requests to be transferred will increase steadily.

SRM Field Control for Master Data fields e.g. hide Street prefix

Hi Experts,
we are using SRM 7 Ehp1.
For the RFx process we need to create bidders.
To simplify the creation of the bidder for the users we would like to hide
all unnecessary fields e.g. Street prefix / Street suffix.
I tried to use the customizing img "SAP Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Cross-Application Basic Settings --> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) --> Configure Field Control"
I've tried the function "Configure Control for Fields on Header Level".
There is a business object type BBP001 for bidders but only 4 fields are available for field control.
It seems this customizing entry is only for transaction data, e.g. SC, PO but not for master data.
Is it possible to hide fields for bidders within SRM?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind Regards
Stefan

About delta loading for master data attribute

Hi all,
We have a master data attribute loading failed which is a delta loading. I have to fix this problem but I have two questions:
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
Thanks a lot

Hi...
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
Look.....for master data.....no need to delete request from the target..........just make the status red.......and repeat the load.....But problem is that master data sometimes does'nt support Repeat delta..........if u repeat......then load will again fail with Update mode R.........in that case u hav to do re-init.......
1) delete the init flag.......(In the IP scheduler >> in the top Scheduler tab >> Initialization option for source system)
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise .....init without data transfer.....if the last delta failed picking 0 records.......
3) then Delta.......
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
1) Make the QM status red.........to set back the init pointer.......
2) Repeat the load.....
After that.........if again load failed with Update mode R.....
1) delete the init flag.......
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise init without data transfer.....
3) then Delta.......

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.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?
Thanks in advance,
LaVIEWan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

Error handling for master data with direct update

Hi guys,
For master data with flexible update, error handling can be defined in InfoPackege, and if the load is performed via PSA there are several options - clear so far. But what about direct update...
But my specific question is: If an erroneous record (e.g invalid characters) occur in a master data load using direct update, this will set the request to red. But what does this mean in terms of what happens to the other records of the request (which are correct) are they written to the master data tables, so that they can be present once the masterdata is activated, or are nothing written to masterdata tables if a single record is erroneous???
Many thanks,
/ Christian

Hi Christian -
Difference between flexible upload & Direct upload is that direct upload does not have Update Rules, direct upload will have PSA as usual & you can do testing in PSA.
second part when you load master data - if error occurs all the records for that request no will be status error so activation will not have any impact on it i.e. no new records from failed load will be available.
hope it helps

Vikash
