Descrition of InfoObject

Hi all;
Ok, I have this 'z_proj' InfoObject. when I created this InfoObject..I have enter the long description and short description. because of the length more than 20 char..the short description ..I have put it Abbreviation but the under the master data/texts tab I have checked in medium length texts exits.
The issues I have is: when I ran the report, the short abbreviated description is coming..; how do I take care of this issue? in other word, how do I get the long description I have in for that InfoObject in my report. please help me.
thanks/

Hi!
in the Infoobject definition RSA1->infoobject change-> 2nd tab Bex explorer properties change the text property to disply long text.

How to add new attribute as descrition to 0Material infoobject?

Hi BI Gurus,
I am trying to add a new attribute to 0MATERIAL. The new attribute called Z_DESC which will be displayed as Material Description.
My problem is how can I get Material long description show on this new added attribute. Since the master data load from different datasource: Attribute, Text, and Hierachy, how can I get text to show on attribute?
I looked up on 0MATERIAL_ATTRIBUTE datasource there is no field NAME or DESCRIPTION but there is long description on 0MATERIAL_TEXT. Should any have idea how to get text show on added new attribute?
Thanks in advacne,
TOMSBS

Hi BW Team
How was the symptom and how the Message no. RSDMD217 show?
If you have encounter the problem as mine: I added new attibutes to I/O 0MATERIAL and then tried to load the data to I/O 0MATERIAL again, it shows error message Message no. RSDMD217 and I cannot be able to see the data on new added attributes.
I checked on PSA and found some records didn't sound right such as on material code column is filled with text so I use T Code RSRV to check the consistency of the I/O. It shows an errors as
Characters are not allowed in characteristic values (characteristic 0MATERIAL).
So I click on Correct Error Tab and try to reload again. It works.

How to delete multiple InfoObjects in one shot?

Hello Experts,
Is there any way to delete a bunch of InfoObjects / ODSs in one shot?
Scenarios:
1. We have thousands of custom IO which are no use any more and we want to get rid of these IO to save space. How to do it?
2. We have thousands of custom ODS too which need to be deleted. We want to delete ODS which are not used any more and also the InfoObjects in ODSs which are not used by any other ODS or any other places. How do I do that in one shot?
BTW way our BW is 3.1 version but will be upgrading soon.
Regards,
Mau

Hi,
goto RSD1 and mark the option "Free Selection of IObjs"
Hit the Maintain button In the next screen Select your IObjs to be maintained (at this stage the system will lock the selected IObj !!)
In the next screen mark the IObjs you want to delete
Then Menu Characteristics / Delete (shift + F2)
this should work.
Alternatively, try developping an ABAP based on function module RSDG_IOBJ_MULTI_DELETE.
hope this helps...

Concatenation of Data from 4 infoobjects into a single cell in Bex Report

Hi,
I have loaded ODS with the description data. The source system for loading the ODS is the flat file. The ODS data should be a replica of the flat file.
In the flat file, there is a description field corresponding to a particular ID. This Description is greater than the standard 60 char length. So, I had to split the description while loading the flat file using single line routine in the Transfer Structure.
So, while loading different the data, I split the description field data from the flat file into 4 infoobjects and the flat file data was loaded into the ODS.
Now, from the reporting point of view, I need to display the entire description data from the 4 info-objects into a single cell in the Bex report.
Please suggest a solution for this.

Error while assigning constant to infoobject in open hub transformation

While assigning constants(in rule details) to infoobject in a transformation in a open hub I am getting an error "The Object Name is not allowed to be empty"
Can anyone tell my why this is happening? What should I do now?

Hi,
In the transformation, have you connected that rule to any target field of your destination? If not, then do that and then try to create the routine.

Hi,
It seems objects are locked in transport request. Check the 'object directory entry' for the object and find out the transport request/task under which objects are locked. Remove the objects from TR or release the request and then try to activate.
Hope it helps.

MASS CREATION OF INFOOBJECTS IN BI 7.0

Hello Gurus,
Here is my scenario:
we have more than 100 new Z fields in R/3 (Tables: KONV, KONP, VBRP) and we are populating those. We maintained the Datasources with that fields. Now we need to develop new infoobjects in BW for those Z fields. Is there any possible way for mass creation of infoobjects.
I searched about this, but most of them were used only for 3.5 data source.(eg: CTBW_META - transaction for mass creation of infoobjects in bw 3.5)
Please anyone help me in solving this !
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
One option I thought of, but never applied in practice. Create an excel with all the field related information in the structure of table,
RSDIOBJ Directory of all InfoObjects
RSDCHABAS Basic Characteristics (for Characteristics,Time Characteristics, and Units)
*RSKYF Key Figures
RSDTIM Time Characteristics
RSDUNI Units*
And upload this table with the flat using function module etc.
But then you would need to update below tables to with relevant details.
RSDIOBJT Texts of InfoObjects
RSDIOBJ Directory of all InfoObjects
RSDIOBJT Texts of InfoObjects
RSDATRNAV Navigation Attributes
RSDATRNAVT Navigation Attributes
RSDBCHATR Master Data Attributes
RSDCHABAS Basic Characteristics (for Characteristics,Time Characteristics, and Units)
RSDCHA Characteristics Catalog
RSDDPA Data Package Characteristic
RSDIOBJCMP Dependencies of InfoObjects
RSKYF Key Figures
RSDTIM Time Characteristics
RSDUNI Units

SAP R/3 Fields to BW InfoObjects Mapping Documentation

Hello everyone,
As a newbie, one of many challenges that I face is to map SAP R/3 fields to its corresponding InfoObjects in BW. I've learned that we can run transaction SE11 and view table RSOSFIELDMAP, in order to know the mapping between OLTP Source Fields and InfoObjects.
However, there are many fields that have not been mapped in this table, like PAYR-CHECT, PAYR-ZBNKN and PAYR-ZBNKL, to name a few.
So I just wonder, has anyone out there compiled this mapping into a document or published it on any web site?
Appreciate if you could let me know about this.
Thanks!

Hi Fulham,
In help.sap.com, you can check out the datasource and the fields mapped from which table. Just check the business content section.
eg. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7a/c3143c26b8bc00e10000000a114084/frameset.htm and click on any of the available links under datasource.
I find this extremely helpful when I need to find out the objects and the tables. Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Overwrite data of master data infoobject

Hi all,
We have one master data infoobject ZASRYHMA. This infoobject does not have any attrbiutes but it has two compounding fields ZSITE and 0DISTR_CHAN.
Now customer has a requirement in which value of ZASRYHMA can change for a particular site and distribution channel. Generally if this value changes then system creates a new entry in tables /bic/pzasryhma and /bic/szasryhma.
What they want is to overwrite the existing entry.
Is it possible to achieve? It's a master data infoobject.
Please provide your kind help.
Regards,
Nilima Rodrigues

Hi,
You have three fields as key field in table as shown below along with values,
ZASRYHMA     ZSITE         0DISTR_CHAN
A-1                     B-1            C-1
A-2                     B-2            C-2
now if you want to change the value of say second row to
A-3                    B-2             C-2
right?
This is not possible just by overwritting in the info-object master data. Because these are key-fields system will treat A-3 as new value and create new entry, on top of this your A-2 master data values must have been used in transactional data.
Only way I can think of is to delete the transactional data where ever A-2 is used and then delete ZASRYHMA master data and then upload master data for ZASRYHMA with new values. And then transacional data.

Unable to provide input value to InfoObject in SEM-BCS

Hello BI Experts,
I have created an infoobject 'ABC' in BI and have flagged 'With Master Data' and 'With Text'. This infoobject has an navigational attribute 'XYZ'(XYZ also has 'With Master Data' and 'With Text').
When I go to T.Code UCWB(BCS Workbench), I could able to see the infoobject 'ABC' and when I try to create master data for 'ABC', I do not see the input field for 'XYZ'. I want to input values in Infoobject 'XYZ' through this screen(SEM-BCS) and not through BI(right-click on infoobject 'Maintain Master Data). Please let me know, if I am missing anything.

Hi Shekar
I find the ICD setup very 'picky'! If you get one thing wrong, it doesn't work. I have detailed below the steps I usually advise people to tek. Check your setup and see if this helps.
1. Define Plan Type, Compensation Category = Others.
2. Define Plan. Link to Plan Type. Plan Usage = May not be in program. On Not in program Tab - define sequence, currency, enrollment rate (per pay period?), activity reference period (Monthly). Your settings may need to be different. On Plan details tab, enter plan years.
3. Plan enrollment requirements. On the general tab, plan sub tab, make sure the method = EXPLICIT. this allows the user to enter an input value for the ICD. THIS MAY WELL BE THE SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM!
Make sure the CERTIFICATION region is UNTICKED. This can also cause ICDs not to work.
ALLOWS UNRESTRICTED ENROLLMENT must be TICKED. Otherwise there is no eligibility to the ICD.
On the rates subregion, make sure the run strt date is set to ENTERABLE.
4. standard Rates form. Make sure the ACTIVITY TYPE and TAX TYPE are entered. Select the ELEMENT and the INPUT VALUE and TICK the ELEMENT AND INPUT VALUE REQUIRED field.
On the processing Information tab - TICK ASSIGN ON ENROLMENT, DISPLAY ON ENROLLMENT and PROCESS EACH PAY PERIOD. Enter PER PAY PERIOD AMOUNT in VALUE PASSED TO PAYROLL and OTHER in COMPENSATION CATEGORY.
Let me know if this works!

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.

Unable to add new Infoobject from Infoprovider to multiprovider

Hello Experts,
I have a multiprovider which joins four different Cubes. Now, I added a new Infoobject to one of those Cubes but I am unable to transfer that InfoObject from the Cube to the multiprovider. I tried the identify characteristics option in the edit multiprovider mode but I was unable to see that Infoobject in the base cube to which it is added. The only unusual thing about this Infoobject is that it is not linked to any source field and set to initial in the update rules as I am populating it using a ABAP code in the end routine. I am not sure if this has got to do anything with the problem
Any help in this regards will be appreciated and points will be duly assigned.
Thanks
Rishi

HI,
Try this,
Deactivate and activate the MP again.
Also Try this Program,
RSDG_MPRO_ACTIVATE
Hope this helps...

Implement Hierarchy's On InfoObject that is Not Auth Relevant.

Hello Friends,
Please Advice me in this issue.
I am Upgrading from 3.1 to 7.0.I am able to implement hierarchies when the Infoobject is auth relevant.
There are hierarchies in 3.1 on Infoobjects which are Not Auth Relevant.
Like 0PLANT ..I don't know how to implement using this.
Is there any way to implement hierarchies on InfoObjects which are not auth relevant in BI 7.0 using Analysis authorizations.
Or Do i need to make thes non auth relevant InfoObjects of 3.1 to auth relevant in 7.0 and implement hierarchies.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Keerti,
Can you please tell me how to implement hierarchy with out making 0PLANT auth relevant.
We are upgrading from 3.1 to 7.0.
0PLANT is not auth relevant in 3.1 but it has Hierarchies.
So business team wants to have the same in 7.0 with out making it auth relevant.
Please help me in doing this.
Thanks
Ram

Virtual Logic - for multiprovider based on InfoObjects, not based on cubes

Hi all,
I am fully aware how to write virtual key fig/char code for multiproviders that are based on cubes, but not for multiproviders based on InfoObjects. Oddly this has not been a necessity for a couple of years.
I need to understand how to translate the C_S_DATA components.
Normally, on a standard multprovider, I would assign a component thusly.
ASSIGN COMPONENT G_POS_multicubetechname_virtualchartechname
 OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA TO <l_var1>.
This does not work. I can see in C_S_DATA that the objects of interest appear with the format K__xxxx and I am able to decipher those needed.
The question: How do I assign these?
I have attempted the following with no luck.
ASSIGN COMPONENT G_POS_multicubetechname_K__xxxx.
 OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA TO <l_var1>.
I have also tried this.
ASSIGN COMPONENT G_POS_masterInfoObjecttechname_K__xxxx.
 OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA TO <l_var1>.
And just for kicks I have tried this.
ASSIGN COMPONENT G_POS_masterInfoObjecttechname__Kxxxx.
 OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA TO <l_var1>.
Could someone shed some light on this?
Many many thanks,
Larry

Below is the 'c_s_data' components. The K entries are the appropriate items, which I can tell by the character type and length.
S____028
S____1078
S____1100
S____1101
K____1101
K____028
K____1100
K____1078
Oddly, if I proceed as normal, using G_POS_multicubetechname_attributetechname, remember that the data in the cube is attribute data of the master InfoObject, the assignment returns the record number from c_s_data. For example:
G_POS_ZM_EMPL_0COMP_CODE is passing the value of 7 which is the appropriate row number for K____1100 in c_s_data referenced above.
Thanks for trying.
Larry
