F4 on fields in InfoPackage

Hi Everyone,
When I perform a F4 on a field in the selection tab of an infopackage it prompts me to logon to my R/3 system, but then returns nothing. Basically, F4 doesn't work.
Thoughts?
Also, I have to select data for specific accounts in R/3. The ranges differ from each other and there are 20+ different ranges. I know I can keep clicking the "add" button for this field to get another selection option, but is this the best way to do this? How will the SQL look like? Is this not sufficient?
Thanks, Mike

Hi Bhanu,
I have also faced similar issue now ,i am not able to trace teh exact reason.
as u said i have checked in RSA3 for the 8*Datasource and F4 help is working fine .
Only the F4 help is not working at Infopackage selections fields .
Message:Could not make connection to source system SBDCLNT900(mYSELFSYSTEM)
Message no. RSAOLTP150
Thanks

How to create a selection field in Infopackage

Hello Experts,
Greetings.
My Requirement is to have a infopackage to dynamically accept the selection field values
Now I Understand the we can only populate single ragne of values VIA ABAP Routine.
Eg: 0Plant : 1 to 99999999999
But now my requirement is to make Infopackage accept full range of single values.
like for Eg for Numeric values it should be
0Plant = 1 to 99999999999
for charcters plant from all characerstic material master
0Plant = CR_001
0Plant = CRWed
0Plant = QWET
Eg: It has a field 0Plant now i want this field to replicate as many plant as I get from Material Master table
How can this be achieved .
Regards,
Sachin Dehey,

Hello Sachin
You can add 0PLANT in the InfoPakckage more than once in the Data Selection tab by simply pressing '+' sign.
Like
0PLant 0000001 - 0999999999 ( this will be populated via routine or can be fixed values)
0Plant = CR_001
0Plant = CRWed
0Plant = QWET
THis selection will pull all the plants' data where plant is 000001- 0999999, and plant is CR_001, CRWed and QWET.
But I must acknowledge , I did not get your question properly. I replied based on my assumption.

Mandatory data selection field in infopackage

Hello together,
Do you know how to mark as mandatory one filed from data selection tab in the infopackage? I would like the load not to start if the field is not filed.
Thank you,
Iuliana

You can update the table RSOSFIELDS for the datasource by writing an abap code like this
tables ROOSFIELD.
Update ROOSFIELD set SELECTION = 'M' where
OLTPSOURCE = '<your datasource name>' and
FIELD = '<field on which mandatory selection is needed>'.

Can't see selection field on infopackage

Hi all,
i added a new selection field to a Z extractor con R/3, i repeated the DS on BW an reactivated all.
If i see the trans structure definition the field is checked as for selection but when i create a new infopackage it doesn't show the field filter.
How can i solve this ?
thx in advance

Hi Juan,
The field must be checked as a Selection in the datasource (check in RSA6).
Hope this helps...

Selection on User Exit Field in InfoPackage

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to have a selection in InfoPackage on a field which is being populated via user exit? If yes, how to achieve it?

Hi.......
Yes u can do...........I will tell u what we r doing........
Look........we hav created one IP Steering Table.........say .....YIP_STEER
Now here we hav maintained all the Infopackage related information........like...
InfoSource
Logical InfoPackage variant (ID)
InfoObject
Key for multiple Selection Entries
Selection from
Selection to
Name of Function Module
Single-Character Flag
New Data type
Here ........the Following 4 r the Key fields......
InfoSource
Logical InfoPackage variant (ID)
InfoObject
Key for multiple Selection Entries
Now suppose ....we want that Sales Organization will be filled by some ABAP Code.........now to access the Sales Organization related data we create a Function Module...........
Now go INfopackage Scheduler >> Data Selection Tab >> Click on the Type field and select ABAP Routine (6).........Click on Details of Type(beside Type field ) >> Give a name of the Routine and Click on Editor...........there write down the code..........and access the Steering table...........and in turn that Function module..........
U can take help of some ABAP people.........
Hope this helps.......

F4 help for Selection fields in Infopackage not available

Hello Friends,
I have created a datasource in Bi7.0 .while creating this i have put selection option X(selection possible) and Selection option 3(EQ & BT) for the three characteristics in the datasource and activated it.
When i am creating the Infopackage for loading the data to PSA, with in infopackage in Data selection tab, when i am selecting the characteristic value for the above chars, the system says "Datasource does not exist in the source system of version A"
Why am i not able to select the values here?
Please let me know friends if you have any idea?
Thanks
mv_d

Hello Balakrishnachaitanya,
I am also trying to do the same, i am getting dynamic f4 help but when i try to select value from it, it doesnt appear in the UI...
Could you please tell me how to do it?
Thanks in advance,

Appended field in the datasource as selection in infopackage

Hi,
I have appended a field in my datasource, say for example, country (ZZCOUNTRY). I set ZZCOUNTRY as selection in the datasource so i can filter by country in my infopackage. When i check my datasource, ZZCOUNTRY is there. But when i use it in filter, the system is ignoring it.
Example, if i load all data, i get 5 records. 1 is US, and 4 for CA. when i filter by country US and load my infopackage, i am expecting to get only 1 record, but i still get 5 records.
do you know if it's possible to use appended field as infopackage filter?
Thanks
jti

Hi
if u want to enchance your datasouce u are suppose to maintain the DS in RSA6,and then enable the fields for selections.
i suppose if the fields are appended fields you can't enable those for selection.
please check if these fields are enables before u proceed.
hope this helps

InfoPackage Selection - Logical OR

Is there any way to enable a Logical 'OR' in an InfoPackage on 2 fields? When both fields are populated by respective ABAP routines, the result condition turns out a Logical 'AND'.
I have two timestamp fields, in InfoPackage Selection TS1 and TS2 intervals. I have routines on both of them. How can I enable the system to generate my selection to be an OR meaning either TS1 interval OR TS2 interval. The way it is behaving now is TS1 interval and TS2 interval.
I am using BW 7.1 and DB Connect interface in this case.
Thanks.

I don't need this anymore but if anyone has ideas, please feel free to chime in as it can benefit the community.

Common commands

dears,
could you share with me the common command structures used in BW abap and when such is used?
I am noting down these to refer to when coding.
Pls, online help is there, but not applicable to my situation where practical examples are all I am asking for. What are the commands you have used in your coding?
Thanks.

ABAP code

Hello Friends,
Hope you all are well and doing good at your places
Friends, could you please suggest me how should I go for ABAP learning. How much ABAP knowledge is required while working as BW consultant?
I am working as BW consultant from last 1.5 year but not having any ABAP knowledge, so could you please send me some documents which will be useful while working as BW and it will be related with ABAP .
It would be great if any one can send me documents with code sample which genrally used in BW ( like, function module, infoset program, transfer routine, start rotine, user exit ) .

All Data is not loaded from PSA

Hi,
I have loaded 0material_attr data to Master data 0material.
I got records to PSA whatever data availble in R/3 after Infopackage execution,
After execution of DTP i ddint get all fields of PSA data to 0material.
In transformation whatever fields i mapped those fields data available in PSA but not in 0master.
And i restricted the fields in Infopackage but in DTP it is not extraction only PSA fileds. its extracting lot of fields, how can i restrict in DTP.
If i want delta records means for next time what i have to do..
Urgent reply pls..
Thanks in Advance

a. check your transformation- make sure key field is set correctly.
b. no need to restrict in DTP unless you need a language or something.
c. delta records will come through fine if your dtp has delta on it.
Works for us.
cheers,
Sarah

Bw-specific abap book or materials

dears,
could you provide me info on how I can access to the above materials?
we know that BW abap is specific in the sense that its done primary in background for manipulation of data, so not entirely like R/3 Abap.
I need to get up to speed on BW abap.
I know common routines like datapackage manipulation. But not so sure how function modules are used in BW.
Ideally, I would like to get hold of such a book where it shows full codes for real example scenarios and the various ways to code to manipulate data.
I think such a book has definite market value.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_TSTRG_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
   input = ROUTEDAY-ROUTE_DAYS
IMPORTING
     output = WA_DAYS_OUT.

Clarification regarding start routines!

Dear all,
I would like to know what exactly the start routines are and how they can be used to manipulate the data coming into the BW system from the R/3 system. If anybody can explain it with an example I would be very greateful. Thanks.
