Data mart sources for master data

Hello,
Infoobject ZWBS_ELEM is an export data source. But I dont see it in infosource area starting with 8. Option diplay generated objects was set to "SHOW".
How to see the 8ZWBS_ELEM?

Hi Aleksandrs,
Hope you can't generate export data source on Info objec.
But you can create a characterstic as a data target.

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

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.

Data flow model for Master data extraction

Hello friends,
I have the following scenario where the report layout looks like this. What would be the data flow model for this example if I'm loading master data from R/3
KNVV     KNA1     KNVP     KNA1     KNA1     KNVP     KNA1
VKORG     KATR1     KUNN2     NAME1     KTOKD     KUNNR     NAME1
Sales Org     BCG     Payer No      Payer Nm     Acc Grp     Sold 2 No     Sold 2 Name
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Balaji,
are you trying to develop a master data IOBJ for the field combination given and want to know how to proceed ?
Did you check out if the current 0customer master data already has the required fields ?
otherwise you can
1. create a view for the master
2. create a FM for the same and use that as a datasource.
I would suggest you look at the customer master that comes as part of business content first.

Mulitple source for master data

I have an infosource that updates 0Material. This is working fine. I'd like to add a couple new attributes to 0Material and maintain them from a non R/3 source while still using the exising info source to update the rest of the 0Material. Is this possible? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
This is possible in a flexible update scenario where you have an InfoSource and Update Rules loading into the InfoObject. You can add the InfoObjects corresponding to the new fields to the InfoSource and the 0MATERIAL infoObject(as attributes) and maintain the update rules. Then you can assign the datasource to this InfoSource and maintain the Field to InfoObject mapping.
Hope this helps...

Data load error for master data

hi
both errors i need to fix manually or any automatic is there
psa i need to edit that record and run again infopackage.
i need keep that infoobject(BIC/ZAKFZKZ ) alpha conversion at infoobject level.
Errors in values of the BOM explosion number field:
Diagnosis
Data record 5584 & with the key '001 3000000048420000 &' is invalid in
value 'BOX 55576\77 &' of the attribute/characteristic 0RT_SERIAL &.
InfoObject /BIC/ZAKFZKZ contains non-alpha compliant value 1

Hi Suneel,
I feel that the symbol '&' is cauing the issue in ur data loads..
So try to edit the same at the PSA and then load the data from PSa to the target..
Also u can use RSKC to handle these special Chars..
For more information u can search SDN..
Thanks
Hope this helps

A question on DataSource for Master Data example 0plant,0customer etc...,

I can get the field names of a standard data source for master data (say for example 0plant_attr) using table ROOSFIELD .
Now i want to know from which tables these fields are coming from.
How to get the table name for a each field in standard data source for master data .
For transaction data, transaction LBWE is there,similarly is there something like this for master data.
Another Question:
How to see communication structure for standard data source for master data ?

Hi,
the entire documentation for standard things in bi is avaialable in business content of net weavers in help.sap.com..... please refer this for any standard thing the entire documentation will be available.....
this is one of the thread for 0customer attr datasource and the various fields and the tables of origin check accorignly for what ever u want.......

BPC10 - Data manager package for dimension data export and import

Dear BPC Expers,
Need your help.
I am trying to set up a data manager package for first time to export dimension - master data from one application and import in another application ( both have same properties) .
I created a test data manager package from Organize > add package > with process chain /CPMB/EXPORT_MD_TO_FILE and Add
In the advance tab of each task there are some script logic already populated. please find attached the details of the script logic written under each of the tasks like MD_Source, concvert and target .
I have not done any chnages in the script inside the task .
But when i run the package , I have selected a dimension 'Entity' but in second prompt ,it ask for a transformation file , and syatem autometically add the file ... \ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\COLPAL\FINANCE\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\Import.xls
I have not changed anything there
in the next prmpt , it ask for a output file ..and it won't allow me enter the file name .....i
Not sure how to proceed further.
I shall be greatfull if someone guide me from your experiance how to set up a simple the data manager package for master data export from dimension . Should I update the transformation file in the script for import file and output file in the advance tab. how and what transformation file to be created and link to the data manager package for export / import .
What are the steps to be executed to run the package for exporting master data from dimension and import it another application .
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
Thanks and Regards,
Ramanuj

1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.

Is there settng source system level for master data delta loading perfo

Hi Viwers,
Good Morning,
I am loading data from the source to target level for Master data it is taking too much time,I would like to know the how to increase the master data delta loading performance.
I would like to know the source system level is there any setting requited & target system level also.
Please give your inputs..........
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat Vanarasi.

Venkat -
Are u deleting the indexes of data target before delta loading ? If not,delete the indexes of data target before delta loading and recreate them after delta loading is done.This procedure increase load performance.You can perform whole procedure in process chain.

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.......

Effect of 'No update' for master data texts

Hello all,
I am using flexible update - update rules - for master data text. I want to confirm effect of 'No update' in following scenario
In the fisrt set of update rules -from first source system -I have mapped both short text and long text
Key | short text| long text
......| overwrite| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX| some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text | long text
......|overwrite| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX |
My loading sequence is first source system followed by second source system
what should be my ultimate long text and why?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards
Sanjyot

Hi surekha,
your long text will not get changed.
Take the example you mentioned
Key | short text.....| long text
........| overwrite......| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX.. | some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text... | long text
........|overwrite......| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX. |
In the second set of update rules, you mentioned "No UPdate", So, when a record with the same key is found n Masterdata, it is not going to make any changes to the field Long text.
Where as short text will get overwritten.
Take some data for ex with the above mentioned type
data from source 1 : 2000 Maggi Noodles
data from source 2 : 2000 Feasters
when the data from first source system arrives, data will be 2000 maggi noodles
when the data from second source suystem arrives, as there exist this records with same key(2000), it checks for the other fiels
short text will be over written with the value in second system (according to rules its in overwrite mode)
Long text will not be updated as the rule says no update.
hope this helps,
Cheers,
Srinath.

BW - Delta for Master data not loading

Hello All,
I am not able to load delta for master data of vendor and material.
The initial load works fine but when I load delta it gives an error
" The extraction program does not support object 0vendor"
" ALE change pointers are not set up correctly"
Do i need to activate the change pointer in BD61. I was not sure so checking up with all experts.
Regards
Vanya

Hi Ravi,
We faced the same problem as you for <b>0MATERIAL_ATTR</b> and we solved it by the following steps,
1. Delete the previous Delta Init for the InfoObject
If you have access to R/3 Side you can follow the steps or you can follow the BW Steps
Goto RSA7 ->Select and Delete the Init for the InfoObject
<b>From BW Side</b>
InfoPackage-> Inti for Source System -> Select & Delete
2. Execute the Init InfoPackage for the InfoPackage again.
3. After successful completion, execute the delta InfoPackage.
We have have got resolved by doing these steps and it may help for your problem as well.
Thanks & Regards,

Delete DTP OL request for Master data

i have a data source which only allows ful infopackages, once loaded in the PSA use dtp to load in fullload in the master data attributes .... a request shows up green.
now i need to delete the previous request from PSA9 not a problem)
the 2nd run happens psa is reloaded again dtp loads the request but now i got double records in the attributes.
q1, how do i delete over lapping request using process chains, i can delete them manually but i am lazy i rather have a process chain do it for me at 3:0 am in the morning.
2nd ) does it matter to have 2 or 20 same data requests in the master data texts or attributes, instead of table space does it effect roducitivity?

See , I will give an example to understand how delta dtp works
Case 1 : If you run thru delta dtp
Run IP .....req1.....8 reocrds
Run Delta DTP..... 8 records
Run Delta DTP..... 0 records
Run IP.......REQ2......10records
Run Delta DTP..........10 records
case 2 : If you run Full DTP
Run IP .....req1.....8 reocrds
Run Full DTP....... 8 records
Run IP.......REQ2......10records
Run Full DTP.......... 8+10 records = 18 (since it's full it extarcts all the requests from PSA)
If you load 10 times using delt/full dtp obviously you will have 10 requests in attribues/texts of md
but it will add only new / changed record to the MD tables ..
load 10 times you will see requests - goto SE16 - /BIC/PMDNAME - execute - will show only unique entries
Hope it's clear!

LSMW for master data

Is LSMW used mainly for master data transfer? if yes, what can b the reason for this?
About BDC, is it used both for master data, transaction data,right?

Hi,
The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP
systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be
imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data
migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
In LSMW have source and target field mapping. so that data should not be lost.

DBconnect for master data

Hi everbody,
we are extracting customer master data from an Iseries-system cia DBconnect.The relevant info object 'Customer' has attributes and texts.
Generation of the data source and loading of data worked without problems for the info object attributes (after generating the data source in the source system tree with setting 'master data attributes for 'data source type').
Now i would like to extract from the same data source the info object -texts. Problem is that the system does not allow to assign for the same info source 'customer' the source system for a second time: 'No data sources for source system 'Iseries' available/message RSAR383.
This is although I did generate the data source (below the source system tree) a second time with the setting 'master data texts' (for data source type).
While it is normal that I can connect the data source only once to an info source for transaction data, I would expect to be able to use the data source twice for master data when differentiating between 'text' and 'attributes'.
Has anybody an idea on this topic?
Thanks and best regards
Marcus

Hi Joe, Hi Uday,
thanks for the further clarification on the topic. The problem is now solved following your recommendations. From the source system we receive attributes and texts in one view. The corresponding data source was generated with type 'texts'. I had to manually enter the text fields 0TXTSH, 0TXTMD, 0TXTLG in info source and had to maintain mapping in the communication structure.On info provider level it was possible to create two update rules (type attribut and type text). Then-using one info package- the upload of attributes and texts worked fine.
Thanks again for your support
Best Regards
Marcus
