Enhancing the Classification Datasources . Tcode - CTBW

Hi Guys,
we need to use customer exit for populating certaing classification field values in the Classification datasources ( tcode - CTBW).
could you please provide any document or info that whether it is possible to use the customer exit using CMOD  for deriving the value for the calssification field.
Thanks
lnv.

Thank you for the document KJ, it was veryhelpful.
I just have one more question ?? When I generate the datasource in transaction CTBW it is only generating the text datasource, for example
1CL_AMIL010
1CL_AMIL011
1CL_AMIL012 and so on, but the datasource for attributes 1CL_OMAT001 is not being genereted, and i don't know why.
I'm using 0MATERIAL_ATTR as base datasource, cat class = 01, Table MARA.
do you know why this attr datasource 1CL_OMAT001 is not being generated ? The system ask me for a password of developer user, but i don't have one.

  • Enhancing the CRM datasource

    Hi experts,
    i have to enhance the CRM datasource with some additional fields and fill them.
    so far i am succesfull in doing the below.
    1. i have appended the fields to the extractstructure and also regenerated the datasource
    2. and when to the BADI for Messaging Flow for writing the code.
    the problem here is its giving a small popup screen in which it has few implementations given by SAP in which do i need to put the code (i am assuming that its the same as our old exit concept where we use the same exit for all transaction datasoruces just by using the case statement) so in that four which one should i use for putting the code and what others are used for.
    The below are the implementations available when i execute the badi for messaging flow.
    CRM_BTX_EEW_BWA
    CRM_BWA_ENHANCE_EX
    CRM_BWA_ORDER_1
    CRM_CSDR_BWA_MFLOW
    If not a big trouble i will be greatfull if somebody can give me the code sample for getting a field filled from someother table with simple logic.

    Enhance standard data sources in CRM
    BWA1 is for all standard crm datsource maintaince
    rsa2 for generic datasource
    BWA5 i think we use this Tcode after RSA5 activation additionally.
    yes(incase of delta)
    BWA7 do we have to use this tcode along with BWA1 for standard datasources also or else only for generic datasource.
    irrespective of the type of dtasource,use it if you want to load delta(you need to delta enable the datasource here)
    So we don't need to put the code as we traditionally do it for R/3 , if we just mapp the fields that would bring the data for these fields.
    as i told in CRM we willwrite code in BADI in case you have done enhancement

    CRm enhancement:
    1. Enhance Extract Structure with the required fields. (Create & include an append structure to the extract structure via transaction RSA6).
    2.a) Release the fields of the append for usage. ( To do this, double click on the Datasource and remove the flags in the column 'Hide Field' for all fields of Append).
    2.b) If the new fields cannot be seen in the extract structure of the transaction BWA1 then change and save the datasource, and then activate it in RSA6.
    3. Define your mappings in BADI (CRM_BWA_MFLOW) to fill these fields.
    Goto SPRO . Follow the path ->SAP Implementation guide ->Implementation with other mySAP components ->Data transfer to the Business Information Warehouse-> Settings for the application specific datasources (CRM)->Settings for BW adapter-> Badi :BW adapter :Enhancement of datasources in messaging flow.
    4. Replicate the new Datasource to BW.
    5. Expand the Communication Structure in BW.
    6. Maintain transfer Rules for the new Datasource.
    7. Activate the trasfer rules and perform the upload.

  • Classification DataSource Enhancement.

    Hi,
    I am enhancing a Classification DataSource to populate the multiple values by BADI. While doing so I am getting an error as c_t_data is unknown. Is the internal table for classification data source enhancements different from c_t_data ?  How can I find out the internal table details ?
    Regards,
    Hitesh

    Hi,
    You can add the classification data in Classification datasource....In case you need more Classification data....the just identifiy the Object from AUSP and enhance accordingly.....no need to write any code for this.......
    Also if you need any data other then Classification data......then enhance the base attribute datasource not the classification datasource.

  • No key field found for creation of DataSource - Classification Datasource

    Hello,
    While trying to create a clasiffication datasource based on 0PLANT_ATTR, when i assign a characteristic and push the DataSource button, i get the following message:
    No key field found for creation of DataSource
    Diagnosis
    During generation of a classification or configuration DataSource, only those key fields for the object table (field "Obj.Tabelle") that are already present in the basis DataSource transferred to the extract structure.  This is the case when none of the key fields of the object table were found in the structure of the basis DataSource.
    System response
    A DataSource cannot be created without key fields. The action was cancelled.
    Procedure
    Check whether you have selected the correct basis DataSource and object table. For more information, please see SAP Note 569849.
    Do you know what can be the problem?
    Thank you and regards

    Hi Alberto,
    plants are a special case. The key which is used for the classification 
    of plants (object type BETR) is not the same as the key which is used in
    datasource 0PLANT_ATTR.
    BETR has key LOCNR (Site). That's a customer related to a plant. The    
    customer number will be extracted in field LOCNR.
    0PLANT_ATTR extracts the plant in its key field WERKS.
    Transaction CTBW and the generic extraction program for classifications 
    don't know the relationship between LOCNR and WERKS. So they cannot map     
    them.
    I do recommend a solution which would add the mapping between
    LOCNR and WERKS:
    1. Create please the classification datasource as intended, but use     
    datasource 0RT_LOC_MGR_ATTR as basis datasource. It's the only          
    datasource of the content where LOCNR is a key field. So                
    0RT_LOC_MGR_ATTR is used as a dummy here, to allow transaction CTBW to  
    create the classification datasource. It's not necessary to extract     
    data with datasource 0RT_LOC_MGR_ATTR.
    2. Extend please the extract structure of the created classification    
    datasource. Add please field WERKS using component type WERKS_D. Make   
    this field visible.
    3. Fill field WERKS in the extractor user exit EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002. WERKS 
    can be read from table KNA1 by using the customer number extracted to   
    LOCNR to select on field KNA1-KUNNR.
    4. Transaction CTBW_META on the BW system isn't able to append the      
    characteristics from the classification datasource to infosource        
    0PLANT, because the keys are different. So create please a new info     
    source with CTBW_META. This allows CTBW_META to create the info objects 
    for the characteristics used in the classification datasource.
    5. Add please the characteristics used in the classification datasource 
    to infosource 0PLANT manually. You will find the info object names of   
    the characteristics by looking up the characteristic datasources which  
    are assigned to the classification datasource in transaction CTBW. From 
    these names you can derive the info object names:                       
    1CL_A... -> C_A...
    6. Disconnect the infosource which has been created with CTBW_META from 
    the classification datasource.
    7. Connect please the classification datasource to infosource 0PLANT    
    Use following info object:
    info object   field
    0PLANT       WERKS
    The info object names for the characteristics are explained in step 5.
    8. Add an infopackage to infosource 0PLANT for the classification       
    datasource.
    Now the extraction of classifications of sites should work.
    Best regards,
    Rolf
    P.S. I saw the system messed it up and doesn't display any new and empty lines. Sorry, I hope you still can read it.

  • Enhancement of Standard Datasource in LBWE.

    Hi,
    I am enhancing the standard datasource for additional fields from the extract structure in LBWE. I have selected the fields in maintenance and pushed them into the selection criteria (first column), and saved the daatsource change in a request. but to my surprise the field contents in Selection criteria and pool(Second Column) column are same as of original in R/3 Development server itself.
    I have then redone the activity and then generated datasource followed by deactivation and activation of datasorce, this has collected a workbench and customization request . But when i again open the maintenance screen of the data source it is again same as of original before change.
    I don't understand why this is happen.
    can some one please guide me and guide how to enhance the datasource in the maintenance screen of the datasource.

    Hi,
    Its very simple.
    1. delete setup table and delta queue ( all the clients)
    2. If fields can be added through lbwe maintainance then add other wise create a append structure
       and exit for filling up the value for the fields..
    3. change mode in data source ---> uncheck hide buttuon --> if you want data to be extracted
        using newly added fields plz check selection checkbox..

  • How to enhance the datasource 0SRM_TD_PO using table BBP_PDIHP

    In R3 when any PO is deleted at the header/item level the field LOEKZ is populated in tables EKKO(Header)/EKPO(item level).
    Similarly in SRM when any PO is deleted at the header/item level the field DEL_IND is populated in tables BBP_PDHGP(Header)/BBP_PDIHP(item level). In current situation we have standard datasource 0SRM_TD_PO, this has a field as ITM_DEL_IND which is coming from table BBP_PDIHP(item level) and its always blank and its not getting populated , so we are not able to eliminate the deleted PO's in BW.
    To overcome this, I have a following approach :
    =====================================
    Enhance the datasource 0SRM_TD_PO to include a "ZZDELIND" field and populate this field via CMOD from tables BBP_PDHGP(Header)/BBP_PDIHP(item level). The issue is I'm not able to determine the relation/join/data model between the datasource and the tables. The datasource 0SRM_TD_PO has a PO#(OBJECT_ID) but the tables BBP_PDHGP(Header)/BBP_PDIHP(item level) dont have a PO# instead these tables have a key as "GUID"which is HEXA decimal.
    Can someone please help me out.

    two ways:
    1. call FM bapi_po_getdetail and pass the PO number, you will get all your details
    2. pass PO number to CRMD_ORDERADM_H to get the the GUID and use this GUID on BBP_PDHGP(if version control is active then you need to consider the active version only)
    and for item guid, pass the GUID picked from CRMD_ORDERADM_H to CRMD_ORDERADM_I-HEADER, you will get all the item guids as CRMD_ORDERADM_I.
    this can be passed to BBP_PDIGP.
    there are beautiful views as well joining these tables(BBP_PDVIEW*).. which you can use as well

    Open the client for customizing with help from ever-resourceful basis colleagues, then try and generate the char datasources in QA. 'Normally' there is no deviation from QA onwards, so you may not have to do this in PRD.

  • BW Metadata is incomplete error while generating datasources using CTBW

    The variant configuration datasources were created successfully in development system and BI side works fine in dev.
    We moved the VC datasources to our Quality system. Since our QA system client (500) is different from development (100) ECC system, I need to change the client number in QA ECC (as 500) and regenerate VC datasources using CTBW tcode [based on OSS note 588184].
    I used the following steps in QA ECC system
    go CTBW tcode in QA ECC
    Changed the client number from 100 to 500 for the VC datasource
    Selected the VC datasource row and then click on Characteristics
    Click on DataSource -- got the error "BW Metadata is incomplete"
    Not sure what is reason for that error message, Please advise if I am missing any steps.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your quick response.
    We have same issue as mentioned by Sudheer.
    We don't have QA 500 client number in our Dev system, I can't generate the VC datasources in DEV.
    I can't change the tables in CLBW_SOURCES in DEV to include 500 as we don't have it.
    Let me know if this works for me
    I am asking BASIS to open QA 500 client so that I will make CLBW_SOURCES table entries change (from 100 to 500) and then re generate the QA VC datasources.
    Then load the data into SAP BI.
    My another question is even if we are successfully, we have another development box (similar to the first dev box) and another Quality box say Quality 2 (900 client, same as Quality 1), do I need to ask BASIS again to open Quality 2. Also what about production box..?
    It would be great if we can change it in first dev box so that we can move across these changes to different boxes.
    Thanks again

  • Need ABAP Code to enhance the 0PRODORDER_ATTR?

    I want to enhance the datasource 0PRODORDER_ATTR with the below JCDS Table fields like UDATE,STAT,OBJNR,INACT,CHGNR.
    Can anyone please let me know the ABAP Code need to be written in the CMOD to populate the data for the above fields in the 0PRODORDER_ATTR?

    Hi,
    You can use below code to enhancemnt .
    You need to change the table, structure and field names
    Below code you have to write in tocde CMOD if you are enhancing the master data. It applies for any master data, although, I have taken 0VENDOR_ATTR as the example. I assume that You have already added/appended  the fields in the extract structure of 0VENDOR_ATTR  i.e. to the structure BIW_LFA1_S. ( Check this link for how to enhance the DataSource : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0af763b-066e-2910-a784-dc6731660f46 )
    We have enhanced the datasorce for the following two fields from table LFA1:
    ERDAT- Date on which the Record Was Created
    KRAUS - Credit information number.
    We have also enhaced the structure for the following fields from table LFB1.
    MINDK - Minority Indicators
    ZTERM - Terms of payment key
    CERDT - Certification date.
    Now we will poulate these two fields in the code written in CMOD tcode. Here is the code:
    Go to the tcode CMOD in R3 and select the component EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002. Write this code in INCLUDE ZXLOFU01.
    data : l_t_data like biw_lfa1_s.
    data : l_tabix like sy-tabix.
    CASE i_datasource.
    WHEN '0VENDOR_ATTR'.
        LOOP AT  i_t_data INTO l_t_data.
          l_tabix = sy-tabix.

    At CTBW transaction I have assigned the new char, and then I push DataSource button to generate de datasource, but then a error messagge appears that indicate a char does not exist, but not the new char other. If I a review the class all chars are ok.
    I have tried to save without the char of the error messagge and then the error indicate other char.
    what can i do?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Class selection in Material Classification Datasource

    I need to extract material classification from R/3 to BW. For this I generated a 1CL* datasource in transaction CTBW. As part of the datasource configuration I selected the Class type (001 in this case) and the characteristic objects to be extracted (for example, COLOR, SIZE, etc.). I have an additional requirement that is to select the Class from which the characteristic value is to be read (R/3 configuration is so that the same characteristic can be part of several different classes. For example, SIZE can be part of 'Ingrediends materials' and 'Packaging materials' classes).
    As far as I know, this is not possible because BW doesn't have the 'Class' level value for selection in the materia classification datasource, only the object level value. Is there a standard way to have the 'Class' filtered in the datasource generated with CTBW transaction?. Thank you.

    We came to the conclussion that it is not necessary to worry about the Class when extracting data to BW. Although it is possible to have one characteristic included in several classes in R/3, when a value is assigned to a material, the value is unique. Check the assignment of those values is saved in table AUSP in R/3 where the class is not part of the key, only the Class Type. This means that one material code is going to have always only one value for the characteristic despite of the class/classes it is included in. So, don't have to worry about the class when extracting data to BW. Hope this helps.
