Difference between Activating Master Data and Attribute Change Run

can any one explain clearly?
Thanks

When u load master data and its attribute to ur data target and if u change any data or attributes of ur master data,in order to update new data to ur data target attribute change run is performed.
When u create a characteristic and if u keep it as master data and activated..it is master data activation
Activating Master Data
When you update master data from an SAP system the master data is imported in an inactive state. You must activate the new master data so that it can be accessed and used for reporting purposes.
For more information, see Versioning Master Data.
Choose the path InfoObject Tree Context Menu of Corresponding Characteristic Activate Master Data.
Upon Activation there are two scenarios to choose from:
The Corresponding Master Data Is Already Being Used in Aggregates in the InfoCube:
If you are already using the available master data in aggregates in InfoCubes, you cannot activate the master data individually. In this case, proceed as follows:
1. In the main menu, choose the path Tools Hierarchy/Attribute Change.
2. Proceed as described in System Response upon Changes to Data: Aggregate.
The system now automatically restructures and activates the master data and its aggregates.
Please note that this process can take several hours if the volume of data is relatively high. Therefore, you should simultaneously activate all of the characteristics that are affected by changes to their master data, at regular intervals.
The Corresponding Master Data Is Not Used in Aggregates:
Choose the path InfoObject Tree ® Context Menu of Corresponding Characteristic Activate.
The system now automatically activates the master data so that it can be used directly in reporting.
If there is any change r newly added records in master data..then that particular data will not b avialable for the reporting unless u do activate master data...
if u r using aggregates and then there is any change in master data ...then that particular master data change wil not b available for the reporting unless u do arrtibute change run for that info object.(T-code RSATTR)
Master data attributes and hierachies are used in cube aggregates also. So to do update the latest master data attributes values in the aggregtes attribute change run need to be performed.So Attribute change run also updates the master data attributes in aggregates which is not apart of master data activation.
Text loads do not need attribute change run. Attributes, hierarchies and aggregates need attribute/hierarchy change runs. If you do not have aggregates, just activating the master data is same as attribute change run.

Difference between earliest master data and master data change bonus

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is the exact difference between earliest master data change and master data change bonus? Whenver any infotype is changed, why are the dates updated in both the fields? Is it not enough if only Earliest master data change field is updated? I was thinking that Earliest master data change bonus field is updated when IT267 is created, but even if i change the time data both the fields are getting updated. Please advise?
Thanks

Hi,
Earliest master dat change date is date beyond which no master data change can be put in for employee in infotype.
It is used to restrict any master data entry beyond certain date as restriction for employees that client has set and is moreover controlled at control record level but ocassionally used at employee level whenever payment was hold for long time and so on.
Master data change bonus date is date which gets automatically filled in whenever there is any master data change.
This date cannot be past earliest master data change date and will throw error if tried for employee to input.
Thanks,
Ameet

What is difference between tha master data and tranction data

Hi, Gurus
this is sudhakar
i want to no what is the difference between the transaction data and master data give with examples .
Thanks
sudhakar

Hi,
The most important data classes are master data, transaction data, organizational data and system
data.
Master data is data that is rarely modified. An example of master data is the data of an address file, for
example the name, address and telephone number.
Transaction data is data that is frequently modified. An example is the material stock of a warehouse,
which can change after each purchase order.
Organizational data is data that is defined during customizing when the system is installed and that is
rarely modified thereafter. The country keys are an example.
System data is data that the R/3 System itself needs. The program sources are an example
for more info go through..

Abt master data activation and attribute change run

There is any difference between master data activation and attribute change run

Hi,
Master data activation is activating the master data once you extract the data from source system the data will be in inactive state, so in order to make the data available we will activate the master data.
Attribute change run :Its used to update the newly changed master data records to the Hierachies and aggregates.
If you are already using the available master data in aggregates in InfoCubes, you cannot activate the master data individually. In this case we will use attribute change run.
For attribute change run we have direct tcode: RSATTR or In the main menu, choose the path Tools Hierarchy/Attribute Change.

Difference between P.O.date and P.O.created date

Hi,
Could you tell me difference between purchaseing doucment date and purchase order creaed date.
    Because some time in my org. po created after GR means in past date. So there is difference between
    po date and po created date. where this po created date is maintained in purchase order
           Thanks and Regards
                  Anil

Dear Anil,
Please check table EKKO with ta SE11.
Created Date => EKKO-AEDAT
Date on which the record was created
Document date => EKKO-BEDAT
Date on which the purchasing document was created
EKKO-AEDAT = Date on which the record was created
and also "Created By" also recorded automatically
by system.
Document date or EKKO-BEDAT normally default as
today when you create the PO via ME21N. This field
appear at top right of the screen. However this date
can be change to any date that required.
Thanks

Why you cannot compress data while attribute change run is active?

why you cannot compress data while attribute change run is active?
Also, are there any prerequisites before running a compression.
Will the aggregates get inactive after running compression?
Regards,
Simmi

Hi Simmi,
I'm not sure what are u looking for ..???? now u are asking whther if activation starts at the same time for 2 ODS,.. there wont be any problem if the activation starts parallelly..
but these activation fails if the change run is running for the common master data. So make sure that when ever change run is running the corresponding master data will gets lock. thats the reason why u can see locks in rollup, compressions or any other parallel change runs....
Hope this helps....
Assign points if this helps.

Master Data and Attribute

Hi All,
I would like to get a basic question clarified.
Can there exists a one to many relationship between the master data and the attributes ??
eg : lets say
Organization is a Master data and i am trying to fill in data from flat file .
it has a attribute like Area
org    Area
1       A1
1       A2
2       A1
2       A3
just want to know if this will work or will it be against the uniqueness of the master data load ???
Thanks a lot,
GG

Hi GG,
   You can not maintain duplicate master data.
If you want to maintain data like:
org Area
1 A1
1 A2
2 A1
2 A3
You have to compound Area with Org. Than you can maintain.
If Area is compound, then Key will be concatenation of Org and Area(Ex(1A1, 1A2....)
Hope it Helps

Difference between Invoice created date and billing date.

Hi Gurus,
I opened the Billing Document in display mode(T.Code:VF03).In header data I found two tabs one is Created On and another one is Billing Date. Here in the billing document the both dates were different.
Please let me know the difference between Created On date and Billing Date.
your afforts are highly appriciated.
JYothi.

Dear Jyothisd,
Invoice created date : Invoice created date is nothing but the date on which you have created the invoice.
Billingdate:Billing date is the date on which you suppose to do the billing for respective customer. Tease billing dates will be proposed to invoice from sales order if it is order related or else actual goods issue date is proposed to billing document as a Billing date if particular billing document is delivery related.
If you want you can change the Actual billing date the result is invoice created date.
Please revert if you want any further clarifications
Thanks&Regards

Difference between using new Date() and new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()

Hi All,
I have seen many open source api's where they are updating dates with the following code
new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())
when i print the new Date() it prints the same
what is the difference between using new Date() and new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()) ??
Thanks,
J.Kathir

when i print the new Date() it prints the same
It does because of backward compatability. This constructor exists in version 1.3.1 but not in newer versions.Really ? Please point me to where you read that.
API doc 1.5 : new Date() (still there, not even deprecated)
A quick look at the code for this constructor:    /**
     * Allocates a <code>Date</code> object and initializes it so that
     * it represents the time at which it was allocated, measured to the
     * nearest millisecond.
     * @see     java.lang.System#currentTimeMillis()
    public Date() {
        this(System.currentTimeMillis());
    }

Difference between a starting date and time and ending date and time

Hi All,
I need to bring out the difference between a starting data and time and ending date and time. Difference should be in time I mean it should be in hours or minus or seconds.
I am sure there must be a Function module for this, Has anyone of you been in search of this kind of FM, Kindly suggest me. It is urgent.
Thanks
Mahen

Hi,
Check this out.
data : date1 type dats ,   " System data type for Date (sy-datum)
       date2 type dats,
       time1 type tims,      " System data type for time (sy-timlo)
       time2 type tims,
       days type i,

Difference between a master DVD and a regular DVD

Can anyone explain to me the difference between a master DVD and a regular DVD. What is the workflow from FCP to compressor then DVDSP as far as bitrate settings etc? Thanks in advance!!

LOL - I wouldn't let it worry you... we all start somewhere.
When you click on 'Build and Format' you get a window appearing which lets you set all kinds of different parameters. At the bottom you will see two drop down boxes. Choose 'Hard Drive' in the top one, and '.img' in the second. This will tell DVDSP to create a disc image and put it in the location that you then specify. When done, you can double click this image and it will open like a DVD disc would - if you have got DVD Player running then your project will run as if it was on a physical disc (although slightly quicker).

Difference Between OTL Retro Entry and Salary Change Retro Entry in Payroll

Hi Everyone,
We are developing a custom interface from Payroll to Projects which will post all the entries from OTL.
OTL->Payroll->Projects
We are stuck with identifying the Difference Between OTL Retro Entry and Salary Change Retro Entry when we process Retropay in Payroll.
After retropay, we come we would see the retro element entries for both them with same name and creator_type is either EE or RR for both them.
In our interface we have to treat retro entries through OTL and Salary Change in differentway.
Has anyone can give some suggestions on this please asap as we are heading towards UAT very soon.
Thanks in Advance..!!
Anand

Hi Anand,
Element with creator_type RR are created/generated by Retropay.
Elements with creator_type EE are regular element entries.

Small confusion about aggregates and attribute change run.. plz explain

hi bw experts,
i am having a small confusion regarding the aggregates and attribute change run.
as far as in know if there is any new master data loaded, then we will activate it by context menu on the particular info object and select the option activate master data.
the second one is going to tools--?apply hierarchy/attribute change run option.
my doubt is is the attribute change run related to aggregates is yes then how,.?
appreciated if you plz help me in detail both these concepts and wherther there is any connection between them.
thanks & regards.
vijay..

Hi Vijay sagar,
ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN:
1)It's used after you change (add/delete/modify) attribute in the master data. You've to make it in order to have an effect after you modify it.
2)Once the master data has been loaded, the hierarchy/attribute change run is performed. Once this process chain has been ended correctly, master data and texts are available in an active format in SAP BW.
To get it :
1. tcode : RSA1.
2. Tools -> Apply Hierarchy/Attribute Change
3. tap on Info-object list button (checking what master data you've modified before).
4. tap on selection button for type of job
5. Execute.

AGGREGATES:
1)Aggregates make it possible to access InfoCube data quickly in reporting. In doing so, aggregates help improve performance. (See Aggregate.)
2)In order to be able to insert aggregates effectively, it is important to find out which aggregates are frequently used or have not been used in a long time.
3)Aggregates contains not only general data but also data that appears in an aggregate after data is filled and rolled up. Reporting in this InfoCube reveals how often data was loaded into an aggregate, how long filling and rolling up took, and whether it took longer to read or write the data.
4)Adding when Rolling Up in Aggregate counts the time required to write the data to the aggregate.
The Records, Read for Aggregate Structure key figure counts the data records that are read for constructing the aggregate.
