Export master data - A beginners design question

Hi,
Business Scenario and requirement
Master data export from ERP system to a legacy system. Integration engine is SAP XI/PI system.
Question
There are BAPI: s that can be used for this purpose. My question is as follows:
1. Should SAP XI make call to the standard BAPIs to extract the data?
OR
2. Should we developed and schedule an ABAP module that calls the BAPI and exports the master data to a buffer table which in turn the SAP XI/PI can get the data from via a custom made RFC or BAPI?
What is the usual way of working in these cases?

Hi,
First you need to select data from SAP and sent SAP XI using program.
You can check the data using T code SPROXY, check this might be helpful.
Regards,
Sunil

How to set up permission to export master data to Excel?

I am trying to set up a role which allows the user to view and export master data.
I was able to set up the first part (read only access), but even if I give the user full permissions to maintain master data, the "Export to Excel" command is grayed out.
What do I have to change in my role to control export rights (for master data only)?
Thank you,
Dennis

Help anyone, please. Is there an authorization object for this?
And: is there an authorization object for copy/paste from master data (in RSA1) to a text file?
Thank you,
Dennis

Export Master Data from BPC to BW

I am about embark on creating a solution to export master data from BPC to BW (NW7SP6) and I was wondering if anyone out there has covered this ground previously and has any information on this process that they wish to share?

As of now, you could export the dimension memebr data and upload to BW info object; you may be able to do it with data manager / process chain.

Export Master Data to file with selected properties SAP BPC 10 NW

Hello Gurus,
Can you kindly help me with this. I am trying to export master data from one of my dimension using DM package "Export Master Data to File". The exported file should contain selected properties because the source dimension is having a lot of properties which are relevant for some usage but not required for the exported file.
I used transformation file first to indicate the properties i wanted to be extracted under mapping, it extracted master data but it extracted all the properties. It's like it doesn't read from the transformation file.
Does anyone encountered this scenario? Any other possible workaround to extract selected properties aside from opening the file and delete manually?
Thanks as always,
yajepe

Hi Yajape
I am unable to export the master data.
Can you please tell me what is the mapping section you specified in transformation file.
There is option in member selection screen called member selection by properties through which you can select your properties.

Export Master Data Model from MDM solution.

Hello,
I have been assigned the requirement to integrate our product with your “Master Data Management” solution. To be more specific, I need to import the Mater Data structure (model), from your companies MDM solution, into our product to build its table/column structure. What I am looking for is technical documentation that will help me make this possible.
Here is a list of some questions I have that technical documentation could address:
•     Does your MDM solution have the capability to export the underlying Master Data structure (model)?
•     What form is the data structure exported (db schema, data dictionary, etc)?
•     What format would the exported information be in (XML, delimited text file, SQL DDL)?
•     If the format is XML, is there an XML Schema that defines what it will look like?
•     Do you have any sample export files that I can work with?
•     Is there technical documentation that would help me make this possible?

If you want to integrate with DRM I would suggest using the API (check out the SDK). This is the preferred and supported way to inject or extract from DRM from an integration standpoint. You can also do imports/exports, for example exporting a hierarchy in XML, to a table, etc.
Directly modifying the tables is not supported or encouraged; the DRM engine enforces many rules like validations, keeps multiple versions, tracks changes in transaction logs, etc, besides the fact that the database structure can change during upgrades. Additionally, due to the dynamic configuration capabilities some things like property values are stored in a one-to-many table that may be pivoted from what you expect.

Transport of exported (master data) datasources to BW test system

Hi,
I exported datasources from 0ACCOUNT, namely, 80ACCOUNTM, 80ACCOUNTH, 80ACCOUNTT in a certain BW development system . I then assigned these to ZACCOUNT and loaded ZACCOUNT (master data, hierarchies and texts).
The transfer rules have a start routine and some other routines as well.
I need to know the following :
1. Is it possible to transport the generated datasources and the transfer rules and respective infopackages to a test system ?
2. If yes, how ?
Best regards,
Anuradha
PS : I know it can be done for exported datasources from ODS for example.

Hi Maik,
Which object type do you think should be used to perform the selection?
We mánaged to exported datasource(not for 0account) transferred but the generated extract structure which belonged to $tmp did not get transported!
Thanks

Export Master Data from Production to DEV

Hi Gurus,
I need to export All the Master Data and Configuration files from Production to Development System. If anyone can Advise me to know the step by step for exporting and importing. Our PRD server is on HP-UX/Oracle and ECC6.
Eg Master Data like Customer Master, Vendor Master, Material Master...Etc.,
Please Advice.

Hi,
I need to export All the Master Data and Configuration files from Production to Development System.
I think you can have a option to do simple Remote Client copy with SAP_CUST or SAP_APPL client copy profile from your PRD system to DEV system.
You can create a New Client in DEV system by performing Remote Client Copy as mentioned above from PRD system to ease the activity.
You can get all the information in below mentioned Web Links.

Export Master Data BADI - how to setup?

Hi,
I want to setup a BADI in BPC to extract master data. The reason why i am not using the standard package to file is because i want to manipulate the data before it is output.
As I understand i can trigger the BADI via a script and pass variables to it.
Questions I have - I understand i need to use "EXPORT_MD_TO_BADI" but I cant find it? Is it a template code?
Cheers

Hi,
The file which needs to be output is to load a hierarchy into SAP BW from BPC. In the master data extract you get:
ID PARENTH1
A C
B A
C B
I need to change this file so it outputs something like the following
NODE       ID      OBJECT               PARENTID
1               A     0COSTCENTRE     3
2               B     0COSTCENTRE     1
3               C     0COSTCENTRE     2
I would like to make the BADI generic so we can use the following parameters:
1. name of the file we are output
2. dimension is selected
3. object field is set (can do that in trans file)
The UJD_RETRACT seems appropriate but
- can i pass parameters to it i.e. the above. I have seen i can do number 2 (dimension) but how do i set the file name?
- is it possible to drmatically change the file as i want to above?
Cheers,

SCM Master Data (BOD) hierarchy modelling question

Hello BI Modelling Experts!
I'm an SCM developer and we are experimenting with modelling a special SCM master data (BOD hierarchy - see [SAP Help BOD|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/1a/d92d412ac9f323e10000000a155106/content.htm] and [product BOD assignment|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/77/5f41418da8db2be10000000a1550b0/content.htm] for more details) in BI.
The problem is, I'm not really sure how we should go ahead.
The modelling difficulties can probably be understood if we condider the following scenarios for using BOD:
1. A BOD contains APO locations, but of course the same location can be in different BODs (having a different hierachy of locations)
2. BOD is assigned to an SCM product
3. Only one BOD is valid for a product at a specific time, but the BOD can be different for different time periods
4. A BOD structure (for a specific BOD name, i.e. BOD01) doesn't change, so the hierachy itself is not time dependent, but the actual assignment of a specific BOD to an SCM product is (or can be) time dependent
5. A BOD can have theoretically any number levels, so it can be 1 level or even 4-5 level as well
Any ideas are welcome!
Let me know if you need further details.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Bence

Export Master Data to payroll Vendor

Hi,
We are exporting data to ADP using the idoc, HROT_USM. We generate this IDOC everyday. We are having issues that data is not being sent correctly. It is not consistent.
Is there a problem if we generate this IDOC everyday. Is that the general trend or is it generally done only once per payroll period.
If the idoc is generated with "All data option" Will it wipe off the future changes? As we have seen that a few future dated changes are not picked by the Idoc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Warm Regards
Usha

Quick strange beginners design question

I have a non-crystal report whose format I need to duplicate EXACTLY or all heck will break loose.
It contains a simple group with some detail records. I need the count of the detail records on the first line of the details as follows:
GH1:          Alabama
Details:                     3    Firstname, Lastname
Details:                           OtherFirstName, OtherLastName
Details:                           SomeOther, PersonsName
GF1:
GH2:          Alaska
Details:                     1   Random, AlaskanDude
GF2:
GH3:          Arizona
Details:                   10 FirstName, OfTenPeople
Details:                         NextOne, OfTenPeople
etc...
This obviously would be simple if I could put the count in the group header or footer, but this would be UNACCEPTABLE
It must have something to do with running counts, but nothing I have tried works.
Suggestions / Help please?

If you need to duplicate format just visually, then you may try the following:
1. Add another Group Header 1 subsection (GH1b)
2. Add a summary (Group Count) to subsection GH1b
3. In Section Expert set the GH 1b to Underlay the following section.
It should do the trick. Visually the count would be in the first line of Details section within the Group
There are some other possible solutions, bt the one above is very simple.

BW-HR Master Data Extract

Hi Experts,
As per my BW report requirment i need to extract
Position ID
Position Name
Position Status (Occ,Unocc,Obsolete) *
FTE
Staff ID
Staff Name
Staff FTE
Pay Scale Group
Pay Scale Level
Position Reports To
Organisational Unit
Date Selection
Start Date
Posts Reporting To Position
from HRP1011,HRP1001,HRP1000,PA0002 & PA0007 Tables
Taking all those fields from HRP1000,HRP1001.......etc these are all the tables of Organizational master data which is one of the HR structures where HR people will design the organizational structure of the define and in that organizational structure they define org unit (org id which is represented by object type O),
Position id (position which is represented by object type S,
staffing is when they do the reporting then who is subordinate of whom
if you see tcode ppome (r/3) you can see all these fields this belongs organizational master data. i hope i cleared your doubt
So my question is if i extract this data by developing a custom defined data source based on view to which object (Org,Position,Staff) i need to lood this data
I mean as attributes
Thanks

Parent/Child Master Data Type

I recently created a new master data type in my model, which included one attribute with the 'parent' check box checked - to signify that it was to be used as the parent.
Upon activating the master data type - the system auto generated several other attributes within the master data type. My question is, what is the purpose of these additional attributes and how are they to be used?
Before Activation:
Attribute
Description
Notes
ID
ID
<< marked as key and as required
DESCR
Description
<< no special check boxes checked
PID
Parent ID
<< marked with parent check box
After activation:
Attribute
Description
Notes
ID
ID
<< marked as key and as required
DESCR
Description
<< no special check boxes checked
PID
Parent ID
<< marked with parent check box
IDA
Ancestor: ID
<< auto added after activation
IDL
Level: ID
<< auto added after activation
IDLA
Ancestor: Level: ID
<< auto added after activation
IDPTH
Path: ID
<< auto added after activation
IDPTHA
Ancestor: Path: ID
<< auto added after activation
DEACRA
Ancestor: Description
<< auto added after activation
PIDA
Ancestor: Parent ID

Hey JJ,
The purpose of these attributes is for parent-child hierachy relationship.
In addition to above mentioned attributes, you should also notice (via HANA studio), that another Planning object gets generated automatically. The new planning object should be the name of your parent-child object plus "_ANC" prefix at the end.
If you take a look at this planning object, you will notice that the object contains all the generated attributes (your attriubute plus "A" prefix at the end) in the definition.
Once you load data into your parent-child hiearchy object the "_ANC" object will automatically get populated with parent-child node relationship.
"A-prefix" attriubutes essentially represents the attributes of ancestor in this case.
In addition, in order to do Ancestor rolllup in your calculation you will also need to create an ancestor planning level which contains all the attriubutes of your base planning level as well as these "A-Prefix" attributes.
Please take a look at the document we created for "How to configure Parent-Child Hiearchy" from the share link
It has more detailed information.
Thanks.
Daniel.
