Effect of 'No update' for master data texts

Hello all,
I am using flexible update - update rules - for master data text. I want to confirm effect of 'No update' in following scenario
In the fisrt set of update rules -from first source system -I have mapped both short text and long text
Key | short text| long text
......| overwrite| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX| some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text | long text
......|overwrite| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX |
My loading sequence is first source system followed by second source system
what should be my ultimate long text and why?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards
Sanjyot

Hi surekha,
your long text will not get changed.
Take the example you mentioned
Key | short text.....| long text
........| overwrite......| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX.. | some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text... | long text
........|overwrite......| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX. |
In the second set of update rules, you mentioned "No UPdate", So, when a record with the same key is found n Masterdata, it is not going to make any changes to the field Long text.
Where as short text will get overwritten.
Take some data for ex with the above mentioned type
data from source 1 : 2000 Maggi Noodles
data from source 2 : 2000 Feasters
when the data from first source system arrives, data will be 2000 maggi noodles
when the data from second source suystem arrives, as there exist this records with same key(2000), it checks for the other fiels
short text will be over written with the value in second system (according to rules its in overwrite mode)
Long text will not be updated as the rule says no update.
hope this helps,
Cheers,
Srinath.

How to regularly update the Master data/Text/ Hierarchy for BW DEV?- Urgent

Hi Experts,
Can anyone help me to understand how to update the Master data/Text/ Hierarchy regularly for BW DEV.
Since all the new query developments are taking place in DEV, users are not finding the latest Masterdata/ Texts /Hierarchy in the DEV system.
I have searched in SDN and got a document "HOW TO DOWNLOAD A HIERARCHY TO A FLAT FILE". However, is there any other way to upload the master data automatically on periodical basis.
Please help urgently.
Advance Thanks,
BW USA

If you want to extract master data from PRD in order to load in DEV, i suggest to do this (its a tricky thing):
For example, you want to download 0EMPLOYEE
1-In PRD, transaction RSD1
2-Enter 0EMPLOYEE
3-Copy the Master table for 0EMPLOYEE (/BI0/MEMPLOYEE)
4-transaction SE16
5-Enter the table name /BI0/MEMPLOYEE
6-in the selection screen, go to "Options" Menu and select "User parameters", and now select "Standard List SE16"
7-Execute
8-Now its show's up the 0employee data, go to "System" menu - List - Save - Local File
9-After you have the flat file, only rest create Infopackae in DEV Env. and load it from the flat file.
Asigns points if useful.

Flexible Update for master data

hello experts,
in my source database I have the two tables CUSTOMER and ADDRESS.
Now I want to join them into one InfoObject called CUSTOMER using flexible Update.
How can I load data from the flexible InfoSource that joins CUSTOMER and ADDRESS tables into the InfoObject CUSTOMER which has Attributes like Firstname, secondname, Postalcode, city, region, country etc.
Thanx
Axel

Hi Axel
First you will have to create a view with join on both these tables using suitable primary key relationship. Then you create a datasource based on this view and then in BW you will have to assign Infosource to this datasource.
Please refer to generic data source related information on SDN and proceed ahead.
By the way if you are planning to extract this data from R/3 system then why don't you use SAP delivered datasource 0CUSTOMER_ATTRIBUTE. I am not sure from which system you are extracting this data.

Master data text load failure?

Hi all,
My process chain for master data text has failed and i am getting the below error message?
error records written to the application log
error 4 in the update.
pls advise me on this what should i do?
thanks
Pooja

Hi,
I will suggest you to check a few places where you can see the status
1) SM37 job log (In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load) (give request name) and it should give you the details about the request. If its active make sure that the job log is getting updated at frequent intervals.
Also see if there is any 'sysfail' for any datapacket in SM37.
2) SM66 get the job details (server name PID etc from SM37) and see in SM66 if the job is running or not. (In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load). See if its accessing/updating some tables or is not doing anything at all.
3) RSMO see what is available in details tab. It may be in update rules.
4) ST22 check if any short dump has occured.(In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load)
5) SM58 and BD87 for pending tRFCs and IDOCS.
Once you identify you can rectify the error.
If all the records are in PSA you can pull it from the PSA to target. Else you may have to pull it again from source infoprovider.
If its running and if you are able to see it active in SM66 you can wait for some time to let it finish. You can also try SM50 / SM51 to see what is happening in the system level like reading/inserting tables etc.
If you feel its active and running you can verify by checking if the number of records has increased in the data tables.
SM21 - System log can also be helpful.
In your case it is probably because of invalid character issue.
Thanks,
JituK

Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

Hi BI Experts,
Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as ,
and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
(LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
now i used to rsa1old transaction to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for IOSP_Mat
now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
Thanks,
Srijith

apologies to all of you for late response,
was busy with some other activities.
I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
Thanks again for your quick response.
Once again sorry to all of you for my late response
Thanks,

Deltas for master data

Hi,
Will you please let me know the proceedure for master data delta set up.is it something, after init the delata gets activated automatically or do we need to set it in r/3 side(Where checking the check box ('delta enable')for a data source or is it something there are some specific data sources which will support delta.
Please let me know the proceedure for this, or if you have any docs or links please give me those.
Thanks & Regards,

Error loading master data text

Hi all,
When I does a data load from PSA for master data text,
error appears whcih shows "0OI_PBLTYP : Data record 3 ('INFO') : Language key is initial".
Please tell me why this error.
Hint:I have 17 records in PSA for 11 location types.
11 in English and 6 in German.
Thanks ,
Chintu.

Hi Chintu,
Since you have made the info-object as "language-dependent" the system is looking for lang-key in the data. You can either enter the lang-key in the pSA directly. But if the source system is R/3 my suggestion would be that you pick up the lang-key for the datasource. This would ensure that you dont have to edit the PSA each time you load.
Bye

Load Master Data Text for 0COSTELMNT

Hello,
I would like to load text for master Data Cost Element (infosource 0COSTELMNT). The loading is Ok but, when I execute the infopackage the next time, I have the status yellow and the message "The data request was a full update. In this case, the corresponding table in the source system does not contain any data. System response
Info IDoc received with status 8.".
It's normal that there are no news datas to upload but the problem is that the process remains not yet completed.
The parameters of the scheduler are :
- selection : none and "Use conversion routine"
- Processing : PSA and then in the InfoObject
- Update : Full update and Fixed Time Interval (start date : today, end date : 31.12.2006)
- Schedule : Start Data Load Immediately
The option Treatment of Warning is set to green.
Thanks in advance to help me.
Daniel.

Hi,
It's yellow.
On the R/3 system, when I launch RSA3 and Extraction for the DataSource 0COSTELMNT_TEXT, the result is 0 enreg too (no selection in the screen).
Thanks.

Error handling for master data with direct update

Hi guys,
For master data with flexible update, error handling can be defined in InfoPackege, and if the load is performed via PSA there are several options - clear so far. But what about direct update...
But my specific question is: If an erroneous record (e.g invalid characters) occur in a master data load using direct update, this will set the request to red. But what does this mean in terms of what happens to the other records of the request (which are correct) are they written to the master data tables, so that they can be present once the masterdata is activated, or are nothing written to masterdata tables if a single record is erroneous???
Many thanks,
/ Christian

Hi Christian -
Difference between flexible upload & Direct upload is that direct upload does not have Update Rules, direct upload will have PSA as usual & you can do testing in PSA.
second part when you load master data - if error occurs all the records for that request no will be status error so activation will not have any impact on it i.e. no new records from failed load will be available.
hope it helps

Master Data Text for Infoobject Plant Section

Hi Experts,
I've changed the standard Infoobject of Plant Section (0PLANTSECTN), so the master data (text & attribute) is active now.
My question is: Does SAP BW provide the standard business content for master data of 0PLANTSECTN?
Coz i've checked it on RSA5, but the datasource is not exist.
Thanks for helping, hope you could give me some enlightenment
Warm Regards,

Thanks for ur answer Swapnil..
So the only thing i can do is create a custom DS and load the data (text) via Flat File? Or is there any way else to load the master data text?
As I know, loading data from flat file is only can be done manually. The problem is, i have to make sure, that data in BW is always relevance with data in ECC. Hence, i need the standard DS. So i could load it directly from ECC.
Am very appreciate, if any of u could share the best way.
Thanks

Master data text after upgrade to NW700 SPS15 (SP17 for SAP_BW)

Basically all the Technical Names with an Underscore _ are replaced by $ symbol.
This issue as depicted here under appeared after the upgrade from BW3.5 to BI7.0, all Master data texts with Underscore __ appears as $
Before upgrade     After upgrade
YACCOUNT___T     YACCOUNT$T
YCHRT_ACT___T     YCHRT_ACT$T
Any body faced this problem.
Regards,
Giridhara

Anyway. I opened a oss message with SAP and they confirmed that RSA1OLD don't work but can only work with RSA1. The problem is at RSA1OLD and when you check dataflow in RSA1OLD, it gives error, while in RSA1, it works. SAP is working on this. Assume that they would correct it later.
