Direct Assignment (Reading Master Data from 0PLANT) in Transformation!!!!

Hi Gurus,
I am working on BI7.0. In my transformation I have to fill one target field(SHIPFROM) from
0PLANT-0COUNTRY ( Country for that particular Plant). How can I do that as "Read from Master Data" in BW 3.5.
Please help me out.
Advance thanks
Peter..

Hi,
In transformation you will have rule type as Read from master data. You can see it when you right click on the target field and go to Rule details. There in rule type you will have option as Read from master data. Using this option you can read from 0plant. Justmake sure that you are getting 0plant from the source of the transformation.
hope it helps.

Viren

Problem in Read Master Data rule type in Transformation

Hi,
I have 'Tax Classification' & 'Sales Territory' as attributes for 0customer (Master data). I loaded master data for 0customer & data have come up for this 2 fields. I want this 2 fields in my DSO with data filled. As this 2 fields are not in Transaction datasource of my DSO, i added this 2 fields in the Target side in Transformation of the DSO. In Transformation, I gave the rule type as 'Read Master Data' from attribute of '0customer' & mapped KUNAG (Sold-to) to this 2 fields. Activated the Transformation & executed the DTP.
When i check the data, i could see that the Infoobject 'Sales Territory' column alone is filled but 'Tax Classification' column is blank. Tax classification has data in 0customer master data for the displayed customer values but still data is not coming in DSO.
How does this happen when both the fields have same mapping & rule type and still data not getting populated for one field alone. Am i missing anything?

hi,
the green request in MD does not means that the data in MD is activated, you need to activate it after loading everytime so that it reflects in where used list as well.

Hi,
This is a strange error that everybody faces but you can try this way.
1) select the target object Employee attribute in the transformation
2) assign the source field in the transformation. the source field should be 0EMPID
3) In this source field there is a coulmn called IOASSIGNMENT. Type 0EMPID at that point
4) change the rule type from direct assignment to master data attribute. Now you can select the field 0EMPID.

Error when trying to delete data from 0Plant

I am trying to delete the master data from 0Plant and get the following message:

Do you want to delete the data records that are no lo
Is there a workaround? Thanks

Hi Niten,
You can delete the Master Data which are not used still. (As the SIDs are not mapped to the DIM Tables)
Then regarding the used ones ::: If you upload the Masterdata again with modifications, it will overwrite and after the attribute chage run you will see the modified Master Data.Hope this will solve your problem

Failed to read Master Data

Hi All,
We are facing an issue while doing to Save data. We are suspecting that the source could be Master Data mechanism on Fly we have implemented .
For ex , User can create a new Entity in Portal and this triggers Import Master data from Flat File which creates ID and HIR and loads to BPC. This processes Hierarchy.
User also updates Master data properties in Portal .For ex: User changes Currency for Entity and this triggers Import Master Data from Infoobject and these changes flow to BPC.
So these two packages Import Master Data from Flat File and Import master data from Infoobject are always running frequently when users changes values in Portal and at this point some other users will be doing submissions.
The issue is we are suspecting that Master data loads are causing Save data to fail. Some records are saved but not all.
May I know if standard BPC allows Save Data while Import Master Data is loaded either Flat file or Import Master Data from Infoobject is running in background. These updates Hierarchy and disturbs Dimension master , not sure if Save data is possible . I am getting mixed results while reproducing this issue , so need some expert comments on this issue.
Apologies for bad scrrenshot.
The text in the screenshot is below

Dear Vadim,
I know about the limitation but we have been fighting with SAP all this while and eventually it looks like we have succeeded in getting a solution for this business requirement. This appears to be a big update and I would like the Consultant world to know about this.
We have applied this
Note 1958480 Allow user logon BPC client while others are importing maste
which was hiding somewhere till now .SAP development team was under the same opinion as we are that Master data and Transaction data loads cant run in parallel but after applying this Note as suggested by one of the developer recently, it looks like both are running in parallel.
In the testing I noticed that I am able to load Import Master data from Flat File and Copy Transaction data (in cube) and Copy transaction data (cross cube) successfully. Both Master and transaction data loads are now running in parallel.
I was not able to believe but it appears to be working now as we expected .
We are going to do fully blown testing to see if we are going to face any dead blocks.
With this looks like we have a 100% working Real time Master Data loads functionality as expected by User.
Thanks,
Krishna

Error while assigning infoobject to the read master data in rule type

Hi sdns,
I want to read the zwostd info object data from zemployee master infoobject attribute list. For that i have selected rule details of zwostd infoobject in transformation of info cube, then i am tring to select the read master data rule type. It is taking more time and then it displayed error like permitted time was exceeded. Could any one please give me the solution for this problem.
thanks
karun

Sometimes directly typing the infoobject name in the field helps - otherwise it tries to fetch all the infoobjects available which is possibly why the time out occurs..?
Enter the Master Data infoobject directly and then you will get the fields assigned.
However my experience with read master data has been that whenever you change the master data IOBJ by way of adding / removing Nav Attributes / attributes etc - all the transformations using the read master data for the IOBJ that is being changed will get deactivated and it is a pain reactivating and transporting them again - particularly so when you are developing something on them and the changes are stuck across multiple requests ...
IMHO use a routine instead to do the same - it involves lesser maintenance. SAP is anyway going to run a similar SQL...

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
The data is being received at 1Mbps.
Thanks

Two questions:
One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?

Data Source creation for Master Data from Flat File to BW

Hi,
I need to upload Master Data from Flat File. Can anybody tell step by step right from begining of creation of DataSource up to Loading into Master Data InfoObject.
can any body have Document.
Regards,
Chakri.

Hi,
This is the procedure.
1. Create m-data with or without attributes.
2. Create infosource .
    a) with flexible update
         or
    b) with direct update
3. Create transfer rules and assign tyhe names of m-data and attribute in "Transfer rules" tab and transfer them to communication structure.
4. Create the flat-file with same stucture as communication structure.
5. if chosen direct update then create infopackage and assign the name of flat-file and schedule it.
6. if chosen flexible update the create update rule with assigning name of the infosource and the schedule it by creating infopackage.
Hope this helps. If still have prob then let me know.

Read Master Data for Process order status change (REL to CRTD)

I am unable to read master data and thus change the status of process order from REL to CRTD. (COR2)
The reason it says, error in BOM reading, Transport Requirement (TR) already generated.
Even after deleting the TR (LB02), the issue still exists.
Is there another way of changing the status or some more steps are needed for the TR deletion?
Thnx!
Abhi.

Order header Status-
REL Released
MSPT Material shortage
PRT Printed
PRC Pre-costed
BASC Batch assignment complete
BCRQ Order to be handled in batches
SETC Settlement rule create.
In the error log it gives-
Diagnosis
Transfer requirements have already been generated, so therefore the bill of material cannot be read.
System Response
The system does not execute the action.
Then I deleted the TR (LB02), but still I cannot reread the master data.
The MSPT was for only 2 materials out of 6 and there is no GMPS status.
There is prod supply area and control cycle used.
and the TR generated at order release.

Hi
1 activate 0Material from R3 side this datasource corresponds has the extract.struct. BIW_MARA_S correponding to material master data (what you need)
2 install 0Material from business content
3 replicate in BW
4 assign your datasource 0material_attr to the infosource 0material_Attr if flexible or create an infosource with direct update
5 activate transfer rules (if flexible)
6 create update rules from 0material to your infosource (if flexible)
7 create an Infopackage, launch the job and check the monitor to see if the upload works.

Need help with loading master data from R/3 to BI 7.0.

Hi,
First i thank everybody who took efforts to answer for my posting, i really am learning this new version with your helps. I really appreciate it.
Could any one help me with a step by step process to load master data from R/3 to BI 7.0. Please don't send help.sap.com.
will assign points .
With Thanks,
Ranjani R

Hi,
Thanks for the answers. I tried loading it yesterday, i had lot of confusions.
What should i do to load a master data from a R/3 to BI7.0.
1. Created a Info object named (EKKO_mas) with some attributes (ernam, ekorg, lifnr).
2. Go to info provider and right clicked on info area and selected insert char as data target. (Please correct if i am wrong).
3. Login to R/3, go to sbiw generic data source created one with a view/table as EKKO and map the application compound and select the needed fields by checking the checkbox. (please correct if wrong).
4. Go to source system tab and replicate data source. ( Please correct if i am wrong)
Then what should i do.
guessing steps:
4. Create a Data source, in BI 7.0 . In that as i am not using flat file, should i select "application server" instead of "local workstation" . In field tab i specified all the fields given in Info object. ( Will there be anything else i should do or change in this tab)
5. Load data in PSA. ( will the data from R/3 i selected loaded in PSA without any problem)
6. Create transformation , save and activate.
7. Create DTP save and activate , click execute.
By doing the above given step will i be able to load the master data from R/3 to BI 7.0 data target (IO) . Please help me if something is wrong with my steps.
Thanks.

Read Master Data in BW Transformation

Hi,
     I am using BW 740 SP02 and I need in a transformation rule to use the option "READ MASTER DATA", In fact this enables me to use all attributes of an infoObject and affect them to my data target ( Infocube).
     I was wondering if there would be any possibility to affect also master data text of an infoObject and affect them to a data target?
I know that master data text are available through Bex queries, but for my case I need to have them in my Infocube.
Best Regards,
RAFIK

Hi Mohamed,
Using standard rule type this is not possible
However there are two ways to achieve this:
1. you use abap routine to read the text value from text table of info object (BIC/Txxx) in transformation
2. a. add a char info object to your master data
    b. create another transformation from text data source to populate this new field (which is actually text)
    c. create DTP to populate this new field with text values
    d. now you can easily use, 'read master data' rule in transformation and assign the text field to your target field
hope this helps,
Purvang

Error - InfoObject cannot be used to read master data

Hi All,
We am working on mapping objects in a transformation, on some of the transformation I am using the master data attribute to fill the infoobject. In some cases the mapping happens without incident but in others we are getting the following error
InfoObject cannot be used to read master data
Inside the long text of the message it says:
InfoObject does not have the correct attributes to be used to read master data for the target field
The object is one of the master data attributes, so we are not sure why we are recieving this error?
We have recieved it with 0COMP_CODE trying to load Fiscal Year Variant and with a non standard enhanced object ZMATERIAL which is a copy of 0MATERIAL with added attributes for Product Class, Product Group and Product Line wich come from the product hierarchy and are populated on the load of the material from product hierarchy.
Has anyone else had an issue with this error and can you tell us how you fixed it???
Thank you!
Caroline

You received this error for loading 0FISCVARNT (Fiscal Year Variant) because that InfoObject isn't an attribute of 0COMP_CODE (Company Code) and it cannot therefore determine what data to populate based on your input. Instead of using 0COMP_CODE, you may have to enter a constant value for the Fiscal Year Variant if you don't have it in your source InfoProvider.
When you created ZMATERIAL, did you use 0MATERIAL as a reference so that it would inherit the attributes and texts? If so, Product Class, Product Group and Product Line would have to be attributes of 0MATERIAL. If you didn't reference 0MATERIAL and are loading attributes directly to the custom InfoObject attributes, then Product Class, Product Group and Product Line would have to be attributes in ZMATERIAL in order to use the Use Master Data function for transformations. You may have to derive the values for these different, such as add ABAP for lookup routines.

The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.
