Error in Marketing Attribute Update

HI All,
I need to update the Marketing attribute of the BP. For this i tried using below mentioned FM
1. CRM_MKTBP_ASSIGN_ATTRIBUT
2. CRM_MKTBP_CHANGE_BP
Now i am facing a strange issue here. My code is able to update BP half of the time and half of the time Not at all.
Doesn't return any error OR warning, but not working.
Is there any thing else which i can try Or any limitation on Marketing attribute, I simply have no idea how to resolve this.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Dave

HI Prerna,
Thanks a lot for the reply...
I tried your approach, but still not able to resolve it.
I am not getting any error in the return table. It shows success. But when i go to BP transaction and then to Marketing attribute tab, i don't see any Attribute Set assigned to BP.
When i go to Edit Mode and manually assign attribute set, It shows me the values passed by me, but even there also if i save BP, Attribute set is not getting saved.
I am thinking it might be a bug, did any body else has faced similar problem with Marketing attributes?
If yes, what is the Solution for this and did you raised any OSS?
FYI, We are working on CRM 7 Ehp1.
I am able to find One Error. When my program is calling FM CRM_MKTBP_ASSIGN_ATTRIBUT_TAB. It is raising an exception.
Exception is 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB'. In the FM at line 340 there is a statement:
INSERT ausp FROM TABLE lt_i_ausp.
This is the place where exception is raised.
I am looking for a Note for this, but if some body has any idea on this, Please share.
Dave

Marketing attributes update via survey

Hi experts,
I'm a bit stuck with a survey scenario with the CRM survey suite. I'm working on a CRM 2007 system.
My goal is to eventually send a email to several business partners, with a link to the survey. In this survey there are marketing attributes that can be chosen, so when the business partner completes and sends the survey, the marketing attributes of the business partner in CRM are filled.
What I did so far:
- In the Survey Repository I created a new XML file, under Parameter XMLs -> bsp.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SurveySystemParam
Action="http://**crm05.corp.*******.com:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_svy_server/Survey.htm?sap-client=158"
Method="post"
Enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
AccessURL="http://**crm05.corp.********:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_svy_server/Survey.htm"
IncludeStylesheetInOutput="true"/>
- Created a new marketing survey in the CRM survey suite: Here I could select al my marketing attributes I created before.
- In the maintenance of the Survey Attributes:
     o Evaluation without business information warehouse (marked)
     o Callback to PBO: CRM_MKTCA_SURVEY_MKT_PBO
     o Callback to PAI: CRM_MKTCA_SURVEY_MKT_PAI
I found somewhere I had to fill in those values by the interface to application.
Now my problems..
When I try to generate an URL, I select the options:
GET option: BSP
GET file: my xml file
SEND option: BSP
GET file: my xml file
I thought these where the options I had to choose to create the URL, but when I try to test: a blank screens opens.. So no survey is shown.
When I changed the second option to MAILTO (and select the standard available xml), the URL works (survey is shown). Is this the correct way?
And.. Not sure what do next, I don't see how the survey will be linked to the right business partner.. When the survey is send to a business partner, the reply of the filled in survey will automatically be linked to the right business partner in CRM? There are more settings needed?
Thanks in advance for your help! If you need more information please reply!

Just start up a campain with a mailing form, a link to the survey. Than send this as an email? Than the

Hi,
we are using CRM 4.0 and here it works fine.
Regarding update of marketing attributes: See note 638320
I think you did it the right way choosing BSP in both options. Here is how the Parameter file looks in our DCR system and it works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>                                                                                <SurveySystemParam Action="http://svc1DCR.postdk.net:8020/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_svy_server/survey.htm?sap-client=210" Method="post" IncludeStylesheetInOutput="true" Enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" AccessURL="http://svc1DCR.postdk.net:8020/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_svy_server/survey.htm?sap-client=210" IncludeStylesheetInOutput="true" />
You can find the Http service in transaction SMICM.

Marketing attributes creation/update from ELM

Hi Experts.
A small question regarding the external list management.
I have created a mapping format with some marketing attributes I want to create/update for a certain business partner. This works fine in the sense that the system is fully capable of updating if there already exist a marketing attribute of the same type for the BP, and create if there is none already.
Also, if the marketing attribute I try to upload allows multiple value, the system is clever enough just to add an additional and not overwrite the existing. So, this part is fine:-)
The issue arises when I want use the mapping format for marketing attributes and leave some columns blank (= I have a standard format I use, but for some BP's, I do not want to upload all marketing attributes, only some in the format). When I try to upload this, I get an error message saying the the value blank is not allowed for a certain marketing attribute. This is true, but I find it rather stupid if the system cannot simply ignore the blank entries in a file, since I would then need to create a new mapping format for every single BP!
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can see that it is possible to add code for every single field in the mapping format, so I was thinking to write a small piece of code that the system should ignore the values that are blank. Have anyone tried this?
Thanks and Regards, Mia

Indeed this is something we encountered as well.
Possible work around (we implemented like this, you can't leave ELM file field blank but upload fake value) is creating a fake value for your attribute (for example: " not yet maintained", "to be filled in"). In that way a BP is made with attribute but with no "real" value... to your business to deside if this is an acceptable way of working!
Kind regards,
Francis

Updating marketing attributes from BW

Hi anyone!
We're using the Analysis Process Designer in BW for updating marketing attributes in CRM. We face two problems:
1. When updating an attribute with several values (have set the multiple value indicator in the transaction maintain attributes) BW only updates one attribute value. The second value overwrites the first one.
2. When using currency as data type for the attribute value we get an error in BW when we start the process of updating the marketing attributes.
Have any of you faced the same issue???
Regards Camilla

Error message while creating marketing attributes

I get a message 'express document "update was terminated" recieved from author' while creating and saving a marketing attribute. The attribute gets created and I can assign them as well. I would like to know why I am getting this message and am I missing something?

You should check if there is a dump in ST22..... If there is one, then you can find the cause there... Most of the times it is an Authorization Issue.

Marketing Attributes not updating in BP through Suvery

Hi friends,
I m working in CRM 5.0, i want to update marketing attribute of BP using survey response, i have created survey which include marketing attributes, in survey setting i have maintained
Callback to PBO CRM_MKTBP_SVY_ATTRIBUTE_PBO
Callback to PAI CRM_MKTBP_SVY_ATTRIBUTE_PAI
further i have generated survey url using BSP option, next i have assign this survey url to mail form, Customers/BPs can open the mail and able to fill the survey successfully, but when i checked in master data of BP no marketing attributes are assign to them(Marketing attributes are not updating).
Please help me to resolve this,do i will have to add marketing attribute anywhere in FM code ?? i have also read sap note : 638320 but no success.
Thanks,
Vivan

Hello together,
I would like to describe my own problem with updating Marketing Attributes in a Business Partner via a CRM Survey.
Currently I am working with SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1. The Survey is maintained in SAP Survey Suite in the Application "Marketing".
Furthermore I am using the following function modules:
Callback to PBO CRM_MKTBP_SVY_ATTRIBUTE_PBO
Callback to PAI CRM_MKTBP_SVY_ATTRIBUTE_PAI
The Marketing Attributes should be updated within a Contact. This contact have assigned the role "Internet User". Behind this role I have defined my CRM User name.
For testing the Attribute update I have generated an URL with BSP. Afterwards I opened this URL and logged in with my CRM User name. After filling in the survey and submitting no business partner were updated. It seems that the "conversion" from my CRM User to the CRM contact doesn't work. I think there could be a problem with the PBO and PAI modules. Because the functionality "Evaluation" within the Survey Suite shows a number of evaluated questionnaires and answers after submitting my survey.
So my questions:
Are the mentioned PBO and PAI modules up to date? (Last change date was in 2005)
Is the Application "Marketing" within the SAP Survey Suite the correct one?
I would be glad if anyone could give me tip for my problem. Thanks a lot and best regards,
Oliver

Error at the time of Marketing Attributes Assignment to BP

Dear Experts ,
I am facing some problem at the time of assignment of marketing attributes to a BP. it is giving me an error saying "Inconsistent characteristic value assignment".
Please guide me how to go about it.
Regards,
Nikhil

Hello Nikhil,
Check the data type of the attribute in txn:CRMD_PROF_CHAR and check for the length , data type etc.
In txn:BP , while assigning the value to your attribute , please make sure that it fits into that data type and length.
Hope this helps!

Update Marketing attributes in Interactive Scripting

Hi All,
I would like to know if anyone knows how to :
1. Display multi value fields in Interactive Scripting 5.2
In standard IS editor, there is a dynamic answer "Marketing Attribute 5.1". We need to create new ones. What it the process ?
2. Update Marketing Attributes (or any other multi value fields) in IS. In addition to that, IS Editor in 5.2 don't have "ABAP Call" and "RFC ABAP Call" type actions in the repository, where 4.0 comes with these types. I would like to make a RFC call to R/3 from IS, and display the returned value in the IS.
Thank you,
Vadim Boriskevich.

Hello Mike,
Yes, You have to clearly define what type of marketing attribute it is. i mean whether person or organization.
It is not possible to use marketing attributes which are valid for persons AND organizations for survey.
For eg. If the marketing attribute is of type person(you can see this in the trx Crmd_prof_templ) and the BP is of type Organisation then it wont work for you.
In this case either change the attributes to Organization type ,reattach them in the survey suite and then try.
If you have attribute of person type then the BP should be of the same type.Actually in the code there is a string which matches from both the sides.So in case of any mismatch the updation would not be there.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks

Update marketing attributes and send mBDoc BUPA_MAIN

Hi,
When I update marketing attributes in CRM there are three mBDocs sent into queues (MKTPROF_MSG and CHARVAL_MSG) and also BUPA_MAIN .
I'd like to know if sending BUPA_MAIN is an standard SAP solution or not.
If it's not where can I find how it's work (configuration, sap note)
Thank's in advance
Robert

Hi Robert,
As of the relationship beteween the three bdoc, it has been coded as of SAP is concerned. As any change in Marketing attribute has to be reflected in BP so that no inconsistency occurs.
You can obviously stop generation of one of the mbdocs, but the generation will not be conditionally stoped, but it will be stop permanently.

External lists for updating marketing attributes

Hi,
I'm now working in CRM 3.1, but we're going to upgrade for 5.0 in the autumn. In this relation I'm working on a pre-project where I'm looking for the possibilities for using external lists for updating marketing attributes on existing BPs. How can I map this fields? Do I use advanced mapping fields or structure enhancement using appended fields?
Thanks, Camilla

Camilla,
Yes, this function become standard for CRM 5.0. CRM5.0 ELM provide different format types for create BPs (with marketing attributes), activities and leads. You need to define different format type when you create mapping format. For updating marketing attributes, you need to choose type "Business Partner" type so that all the marketing attributes will be available for you to pick to create the mapping format.
You can look at the CRM5.0 release note and document for more details

Hi All,
We have a requirement where in we want to update CRM Marketing attibutes for a given Product.

Update market attribute for BP

Dear expert, i need to update market attribute of bp in CRM.
At the moment i'm using function module CRM_MKTBP_ASSIGN_ATTRIBUT_TAB to create/update the attribute.
It works fine but there is a problem when I try to update the field ATWRT (characteristic value) on an attribute that already exist. For example if I have:
OBJEK
000000000000000058
ATINN
0000000034
ATWRT
N
and I want to update in :
OBJEK
000000000000000058
ATINN
0000000034
ATWRT
Y
This doesn't work. I found another function to do it, CRM_MKTBP_UPDATE_ATTR_BP, but I don't know if I can use it instead to use CRM_MKTBP_ASSIGN_ATTRIBUT_TAB .
Anybody already found this problem ?
Davide

ok, thanks, and do you know if in case i want to delete an attribute from bp exist another function module ?
