Direct update and flexible update

Hi BWers,
I want to know the difference between direct update and flexible update in detail. Could someone explain me in detail with an example? or send me some documents explaining this clearly?
Regards,
RV.

hi
Using the fleixble update method for master data loads you need to create update rules for the
InfoSource and the InfoObject. The direct update loads the data directly without going through the
update rule layer.
The presence of Update Rules allows for extra processing and data transformation capability. Also the
flexible update makes it possible to load data from several sources to the InfoObject, since all
you need to do it to create update rules between the InfoSource and your InfoObject. An example
of using this is when you need to populate certian master data attributes but the data is
coming as transaction data. Sometimes the descriptions are also a part of transaction data,
whereas you may want to load them as text rather than in the cube (this happens a lot in CRM datasources).
So here flexible updates are useful.

Direct Update to Flexible Update

Hi,
I was trying using transitive attributes in which one InfoSource needs to update 2 infoobjects.
I have an infosource which is an direct update because of which it is not allowing to me to create an update rule using this infosource.
Can anyone please explain how do I convert this InfoSource from Direct to Flexible update so that I can update the different objects with the help of update rules.
Please help.
Thanks
Ramesh Ganji

Hi,
To move from Direct update to Flexible update go to RSD1 -> Master data/texts tab -> Bottommost section -> InfoSource with Direct updae = 'X'
To remove this, remove the InfoArea. You cannot use the InfoObject as the flexible InfoSOurce. You need to create a new one for that.

Unable to run bapis for project status update and date update together

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to update the dates and status of a project WBS at level 4. I am trying to do update the CJ02 Transaction using standard BAPI available. I need to do both Date update and status update in the same LOOP PASS   i am using the below mention bapi. when i am doing so i am getting an error Project 'A._____' has been currently processed by ID i.e. my id.
I have tried putting a wait for 2 seconds in the code but its still not working. please find the order below in which i am calling the bapi.
Loop at itab.
if date_changed = 'X'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN'
      READ TABLE it_error WITH KEY message_type = c_e.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
Commit
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
             EXPORTING
                  wait   = c_x
             IMPORTING
                  return = s_ret.
   endif.
endif.
if Status_change = 'X'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION' .
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUS2054_SET_STATUS'
      READ TABLE t_result WITH KEY message_type = c_e.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT'
             TABLES
                  et_return = t_ret.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
             EXPORTING
                  wait   = c_x
             IMPORTING
                  return = s_ret.
     ENDIF.
endif.
    WAIT UP TO 4 SECONDS.
endloop.

Try to use
SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL.
before each BAPI call.
Did you try to debug through your code, leaving sufficient time between BAPI calls? If it does work like that, then the above statement might help.

HT1365 How can I get my iPhone 4 to update my updates from my app store of it keeps telling me error 3150 or it tell me to refresh the page after updates and the updates are still there asking me to update them again

How can I get my iPhone 4 to update my updates from my app store of it keeps telling me error 3150 or it tell me to refresh the page after updates and the updates are still there asking me to update them again?

Make sure iTunes on the computer is logged into the account on the phone.
Plug the iPhone in.
In the popup window warning about wiping your phone, hit cancel.
In the left pane of iTunes, the phone icon should be there.
Right click on it, select transfer purchases.
Note: this will only transfer music bought from iTunes. Not mp3's from amazon or ripped from CD's.

Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates

I would like to find a document that would help me understand and clarify Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates versions and relationships.
Things like. Cumulative Updates include old Security Updates. Cumulative Updates do not overwrite applied Security Updates, etc.
For instance,
I am upgrading a server from: 10.0.5512 (SQL 2008 SP3, After Security Update MS12-70) To: 10.0.5861 (SQL 2008 SP3 CU17).
Would the MS12-70 (2754849) I installed still be present after installing CU17? The reason for doubt was that I saw another version of MS12-70 that includes
CU 1 to 7(KB2716435). So makes me wonder about it.
I am probably not able to explain myself right but, the idea is to find a document that can explain how the build information and versioning works.
Some how I have the idea that Cumulative updates would not include Security Updates.
Thanks beforehand

Hi,
Below will give you list of Service packs and Cumulative updates for SQL Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185
http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.co.uk/
Security updates are for Windows not SQL Server. SQL server releases Cumulative updates after that a comprehensive service pack is released which includes all fixes that were done in Cumulative updates.
Cumulative updates fix only a certain type of problem(for which they are created) and should only be applied if facing issue
Service packs are more through and Inclusive and should be applied and contains many fixes and sometimes introduces few features as well. SP are more thoroughly tested as compared to CU For Cumulative
update from Microsoft:
We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment.
This cumulative package is intended to correct only the problems that are described in this article. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing these specific problems.
This cumulative update contains all the hotfixes and all the updates that were included with the previous SQL Server 2014 update release.
Windows patch has hardly any relation to SQL server SP and CU.

Just downloaded latest update and saw updates for fingerprint scanners. Do I have a fingerprint scanner or where do I get one?

If you have an I phone 5s you have a scanner. It does not exist on any other device at this point, and cannot be added.

Since this morning when I try Software Updates and then Updates, I get a consistent message - An Error has occurred, The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error - 1012). Is this a server error and what do I do next?

Difference between the synchrous update and asynchrous update

Hi all,
Can anybody explain the me the difference between the synchrous update and asynchrous update with some example.
Thanks in advance
Ramya

Hi,
Message: A Asynchronous updating. In this mode, the called transaction does not wait for any updates it produces to be completed. It simply passes the updates to the SAP update service. Asynchronous processing therefore usually results in faster execution of your data transfer program.
Asynchronous processing is NOT recommended for processing any larger amount of data. This is because the called transaction receives no completion message from the update module in asynchronous updating. The calling data transfer program, in turn, cannot determine whether a called transaction ended with a successful update of the database or not.
If you use asynchronous updating, then you will need to use the update management facility (Transaction SM12) to check whether updates have been terminated abnormally during session processing. Error analysis and recovery is less convenient than with synchronous updating.
S Synchronous updating. In this mode, the called transaction waits for any updates that it produces to be completed. Execution is slower than with asynchronous updating because called transactions wait for updating to be completed. However, the called transaction is able to return any update error message that occurs to your program. It is much easier for you to analyze and recover from errors.
L Local updating. If you update data locally, the update of the database will not be processed in a separate process, but in the process of the calling program. (See the ABAP keyword documentation on SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL for more information.)

Direct and flexible update

Hi,
In the infopackage of a masterdata object which is having direct update i.e; no infosource in between masterdataobject and the datasource, can the option under processing " only psa and update subsequntly in Data targets" be checked.
This option is available for flexible update masterdata objects where as for directupdate objects this option is disabled in the infopackage.
Kindly clarify if this option is possible or not.
Regards,
Geetha

Hi,
U shall get the option in both scenarios, irrespective of direct or flexible update.
But if your datasource is a 7.x datasource the infopackage will be defaulted to load till PSA only
Hope it helps.

Now as per my requirment created a new Z infoobject to use for Transtive attributes....How can i use the same data source 0CUST_SALES_ATTR to load 0CUST_SALES (Direct Update) and the new Z infoobject using Transfer & Update rules.
and
Question:
Will it be possible to switch the current Infosource with direct update to Flexiable update with out deleting the Transferrules as there are lot of routines in the transfer rules
