Diff between Start ,transfer,update routines

hi
Plz tell me what is the difference between Start routine,transfer routine and update routine. Send me some real time examples.I would be very glad.
Regards
Ajay

Hi!
it is simple all of them are small program used in ETL process while loading in to BW.
Start routine:- is used in Transfer rules and update rules, this abap code is executed before starting the load and used in scenarios where we want to perform some operations on all the data example deleting some records before processing records in Update rules or transfer rules.
Update routine:- abap code used in update rules to transform or finding some field. ex:- may be you want to retrieve the field data from some data base tables based on the other data present in the infosource
Transfer Routine:- similar to the update routine but used in transfer rules.

BI : Write BW 3.5 Transfer/Update routine to BI 7.0 Transformation routine

Hi Gurus,
I have 3.5 tranfer/ update routines. can anybody please tell me how to write the same routines in BI 7.0. I guess there are some syntax changes. For example below is the 3.5 update routine. Kindly advise me the steps or way of how to write the same routine in BI 7.0.
FORM compute_data_field
TABLES MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR "user defined monitoring
USING COMM_STRUCTURE LIKE /BIC/CS2LIS_02_ITM
 RECORD_NO LIKE SY-TABIX
 RECORD_ALL LIKE SY-TABIX

Diff between synchronous & asynchronous updates of database with call trans

Hi Everyone,
I want to know the difference how synchronous and asynchronous
database update in call transaction method.
thanks

Hi,
In batch session interface: - Asynchronous processing means Transfers data for multiple transactions - Synchronous database update means during processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
In CALL TRANSACTION: - Synchronous processing means Transfers data for a single transaction. Synchronous and asynchronous database updating both possible The program specifies which kind of updating is desired. Separate LUW for the transaction The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Difference between Synchronous and Asynchronous processing?
Re: synchronous........
Suggest you to Search in SDN with key - Synchronous or asynchronous .
Will get few more useful related Posts.

Newbie: diff between starting app from dock and starting from command line

This isn't strictly a developer question, but I'm looking for some expert advice for troubleshooting a vexing problem with Apps--OpenOffice and NetBeans--that don't want to start from the dock but will happily start from a terminal window. When I start OO from the dock, I get an error message about the date command not found in the main.scpt. NetBeans just fails silently. This problem just started happening for no apparent reason--at least not apparent to my limited Mac experience.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on what's going on here or perhaps give me some clues. I am mostly a web developer, so troubleshooting desktop apps is a bit foreign to me, and what little desktop programming experience I have has been on the MS platform. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thanks, etresoft, for your reply.
I have two users on this machine. Dock launch for both NetBeans and OpenOffice works for one user but not the other. I compared the output of the shell 'set' command for both users and the only material difference was that the user for which the dock launch works included '/Users/username' in the PATH variable. I added that to the 'broken' user's environment.plist, logged out, logged in, and the launch still failed.
The application launch fails on basic shell commands. Here are the console messages for the failed launch.
9/14/08 9:18:30 AM [0x0-0x188188].NetBeans 6.1[16363] /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 6.1.app/Contents/MacOS/netbeans: line 48: ls: command not found

9/14/08 9:18:30 AM [0x0-0x188188].NetBeans 6.1[16363] Cannot read cluster file: /../etc/netbeans.clusters
Here is the code for the NetBeans launch up to the failure point. The command not found messages refer to the ls and dirname commands in the while loop and the dirname command immediately following the while loop.
PRG=$0
while [ -h "$PRG" ]; do
ls=`ls -ld "$PRG"`
link=`expr "$ls" : '^.*-> $.*$$' 2>/dev/null`
if expr "$link" : '^/' 2> /dev/null >/dev/null; then
PRG="$link"
else
PRG="`dirname "$PRG"`/$link"
fi
done
progdir=`dirname "$PRG"`
if [ -f "$progdir"/../etc/netbeans.conf ] ; then
. "$progdir"/../etc/netbeans.conf
fi
# following should be done just in RPM or Solaris Launcher
# if [ -f /etc/netbeans.conf ] ; then
# . /etc/netbeans.conf
# fi
# #68373: look for userdir, but do not modify "$@"
userdir="${netbeansdefaultuserdir}"
founduserdir=""
for opt in "$@"; do
if [ "${founduserdir}" = "yes" ]; then
userdir="$opt"
break
elif [ "$opt" = "--userdir" ]; then
founduserdir="yes"
fi
done
if [ -f "${userdir}"/etc/netbeans.conf ] ; then
. "${userdir}"/etc/netbeans.conf
fi
if [ ! -f "$progdir"/../etc/netbeans.clusters ]; then
echo Cannot read cluster file: "$progdir"/../etc/netbeans.clusters 1>&2
exit 1
fi
It's obvious from the console output that progdir is not set correctly. I'm still trying to figure out why the shell commands are not found.
Thanks again for your previous reply.

Is difference between update routine,start routine and transfer routine

Hi All,
What is difference between transfer routine and update routine.

Hi Venkat,
Routine is a set of ABAP code which is used to select a record or transform the field value at the time of loading the data.
Types of routines:
Tranfer Routines in Transfer Rules:
Start Routines in Transfer Rules:
Update Routines in Update Rules:
Start Routines in Update Rules:
Transfer/Update routine:
It's the set of ABAP code used in Transfer/Update rules. Transfer/Update routine is used to change the value of a particular field/object at the time of loading data.
Ex: Populate the amount/discount field by using Price and Quantity based on the given conditions.
Start Routine:
Start routine can be used in both Transfer Rules and Update Rules. Start routine is used to determine whether to load a particular record or not.
Ex: From the data related to the year 2005, we can select only the records which belong to a particular month or fiscal period.
Ultimately Transfer/Update routines are to update the value of a particular field. Start routines are used to select entire record.
You can get more details about routines at :

Diff between the Start routine and Update rules?

Hi Gurus
Diff between the Start routine and Update rules?
Thanks in advance
Raj

Hi,
Routines are like conditions or business rules that could be applied to filter the data while entering the BW system or could be used to apply certain conditions on the info objects itself.Update rule level you manipulate your data and write your start routine.
There are 4 types of routines
1. Start routine- Could be used at two levels (transfer rule level and the Update rule level)
This Start routine written at the transfer rule level helps filter the necessary data coming from the source system.
For Example: If you decide to extract data that contain only quantity greater than 500 , then you could specify the Start rouitne to achieve this.
The Start routine at the Update rule level provides similar functionality but at this point it helps direct specific data to
different data targets. For Example: If there 3 data targets being fed from the Infosource, you may want to apply some condition to each data target, like send year 2000 data ti Data target1, 2001 to data target 2 and so on. This can be achieved by using Start routine at the Update rule level
2. Transfer Routine: This feature is available at the transfer rule levels
While performing the transfer rules operation, there are 4 features available to the developers to create business rules on top pf the Infoobjects.
1. You could do a one to one mappping of the Infoobject
2. Provide a constant value
3. Include a formula
4. Write an ABAP routine.
These 4 options refers to the transfer routine
3. Update Routine:
The limitations of just having 4 options in the transfer routine is overcome at the update rule level. There are various other
sophisticated features avaialable apart from the 4 options mentioned above. These business rules could be specified pertaining to each data target.
4. Conversion Routine: It provides functionality to do Currency and unit conversion.

Diff bet transfer and update routine

Hi experts,
can u plz.. clearly explain me.. the diff bet transfer and updatwe routine.. with scenario... i just want to know.. abt... it.. i went thru.. help.. but... not got clearly...
*points fully assured*
Regards
Rekha

Both the do the same.
Trnsfer routine will perform the required transformation in the transfer rules while the update routine will do the same in the update rules.
The purpose of these routines is when you wish to transform the incoming records by performing some checks and validations before the data get into the data targets.
A realtime example will be:
You bring in profit cemtre transaction data and for each profit centre record you wish to check if it has value type indicator. The business rule is if there is no such indicator, either reject the record or tag a value of 10.
Since this is to be checked for each record, we do it in the transfer routine or in update routine.
Also, you would have heard of start routine; if a logic is to be applied on the whole data package, then you do it in start routine.
In 7.0, all these things got replaced bu start routine, expert routine and end routine.

Diff between transfer and updare routine

Hi Dudes,
can u plz explain me.. wt is the diff between tranfer routine and update routine. and give my any suitable examples.. plz take a scenario and explain it..
regards
Rekha

Hi rekha,
these routine u write for individual IOs. while extracting data from any source and before loading in any target the source values can be changed by writing these.
in Transfer rules it is like global ..the data stored in PSA also. But if u write in Update Rules ..it stored in Data Target.
so if u want to use more than one datatarget for one the source data has to change and for other datatarget the source values should come as it is. In this scenario u use these routines.
Assign points if it helps..

Which is better transfer routine or update routine???

HI ALL,
I have read some documents, but I didnt get the real concept.
Can any one explain in detail as to how do we decide where to write the code i.e a start routine or transfer routine or update routine...and which one is better for a given scenario..
with example?

My scenario is like this:
master data InfoObject for e.g. Z_MATERIAL1 with 10 fields as attributes. It has two Source Systems feeding it; SAP and a flat file from a system called Product Catalog (PCAT).
The PCAT data is generally more reliable, hence, if a material XYZ comes from PCAT then PCAT is the owner of the material. SAP should not be able to update five critical fields of that material if PCAT owns the material.
For e.g. the below values comes from PCAT and Master data is updated.
PCAT
Material Group Type Price Curr Unit Prod Desc. Lang Class
XYZ      ABC   BRU 10.00 USD PC Inh   To    EN   001
When the data comes from SAP R/3, it should not update anything other than the last 4 fields.
SAP
Material Group Type Price Curr Unit Prod Desc. Lang Class
XYZ      ABC    BRU 20.00 USD BOX In   The    DE   003
Finally the data in the Master Data Object should be as below.
Material Group Type Price Curr Unit Prod Desc. Lang Class
XYZ      ABC   BRU 10.00 USD PC In    The    DE   003
where do i write the code...i have written this in start routine of transfer rules...i want to know the performance issues...

Diff between Update options

Hi,
Anyone explain me the what is the exact difference between the update options
like
PSA and then data targets(package by package)
Only PSA and update psa subsequently in data targets
and what is advantages and disadvantages of both and why SAP has given those two options when both functionality remain almost the same and when do we use those options meaning under which scenarios we go for it.
Thank you....

Hi Sridevi,
1. PSA and Data Targets/InfoObjects in Parallel (By Package)
A process is started to write the data from this data packet into the PSA for each data package. If the data is successfully updated in the PSA, a second parallel process is started. In this process, the transfer rules are used for the package data records, data is adopted by the communication structure, and it is finally written to the data targets. Posting of the data occurs in parallel by packet.
This method is used to update data into the PSA and the data targets with a high level of performance.
The BW system receives the data from the source system, writes it to the PSA, and starts the update immediately and in parallel into the corresponding data target.
2. PSA and Then into Data Target/InfoObject (by Package)
A process that writes the package to the PSA table is started for each data package. When the data has been successfully updated to the PSA, the same process then writes the data to the data targets. Posting of the data occurs in serial by packet.
Compared with the first processing option, you have better control over the whole data flow with a serial update of data in packages, because the BW system carries it out using only one process for each data package.
Only a certain number of processes are necessary for each data request in the BW system. This number is defined in the settings made in the maintenance of the control parameters in customizing for extractors.
3. Only PSA
Using this method, data is written to the PSA and is not updated any further.
You have the advantage of having data stored safely in BW and having the PSA, which is ideal as a persistent incoming data store for mass data as well.
The setting for the maximum number of processes in the source system can also have a positive impact on the number of processes in BW.
To further update the data automatically in the corresponding data target, wait until all the data packages have arrived and have been successfully updated in the PSA, and select Update Subsequently in Data Targets from the Processing tab page when you schedule the InfoPackage in the Scheduler.
A process that writes the package to the PSA table is started for each data package. If you then trigger further processing and the data is updated to the data targets, a process is started for the request that writes the data packages to the data targets one after the other. Posting of the data occurs in serial by request.
4. Only Data Target/InfoObject
We only recommend this method when loading from flat files or from data sources that are always available.
This is because the data is not always saved persistently into an incoming data store. This saves hard disk space, although it leads to a loss of the following: data security, an option to rebuild processes, and simulation options.

Update Routine & Start Routine in BI 7.0

Hi Experts,
We have recently upgraded from BI 7.0 , I am confused about where to write start routine & update routine in transformations of BI 7.0?
Please mention any pointers?
Thanks.
Sharat.

Hi
When you open the start routine you will see a routines info which gives you help on this.
A summary would be:
Update routine in transformation.
RESULT = source_field-material.
Basically you can acess the value of the record by using source_field.
Start routine.
The data comes in the form of an internal table with name SOURCE_PACKAGE.
You can access the values by looping into a work area.
LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE assigning <source_fields>.
ENDLOOP.
End routine(This is a new feature in BI 7.0 where you can modify data when transformations are complete and before data is updated to info-providers)
The data comes in the form of an internal table with name RESULT_PACKAGE.
You can access the values by looping into a work area.
LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE assigning <result_fields>.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this helps you to understand the basics of the abap used in the transformations .
Regards
Samarpita

Difference between Start Routine and End Routine in Transformations

Hi Friends,
I'm using BI 7.0... here in Transformations step we have two options..that is START ROUTINE... and END ROUTINE... What is the Difference between Start Routine and End Routine in Transformations..
When we go for Start Routine.. and when we go for End Routine..
Plz clarrify... points will be rearded..
thanks
babu

Hi,
One real time scenario for End Routine.
We have a scenario where in a datasource field is mapped to three infoobjects on the datatarget side. There are 2 key figures which need to get data after these these Infoobjects are filled. The best place for this to happen would be in a End Routine, where in we would loop through the results package and using the values of the infoobjects from the data target ( Cube in this case).
Hope this helps,

HT1414 using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything was going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though

I attempted to update my iPhone 4 from ioS 5 to ioS 6 from iTunes on my laptop using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything seemed to be going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though was the update process, when an error window opened up and it said that an error had occured and the iPhone 4 could not be updated. I have never had a problem like this before and it caught me off guard and I did not note all the information in the error window, but it did not appear to indicate anything other than that I would have to abort the update and did not think it would be that big of a problem. I tried to disconnect the phone and was going to do the update at a different time when I could investigate what the problem was. However I could not get iTunes to recognize the iPhone 4 after this and still cannot. After rebooting the laptop a few times and also trying to reset the phone a few times as well, I just have a dead phone. The iPhone 4 just has the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon for iTunes. I have tried to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone, but cannot get it to. I am unable to do anything else with the phone. It seems like the phone is in a state where it does not have enough software loaded to do anything or I don’t know how to get it to. Any suggestions how I can get my iPhone 4 back into service. Note: iTunes still recognizes my iPad and iPods, so iTunes seems to be okay to me. Craig

I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
If you didn't sell it in al this time
