How to activate the Info object catalog in Business content

Hi,
While trying to activate the Info object catalog, I found that some of the info objects under this catalog was earlier activated by some other developer. I brought this catalog (0SALES_CHA01) over to the Business content activation panel ( with only 'necessary object settings ) and all the info objects that also came along were de-selected since I didn't want to install those again). When I tried to install these I get an error indicating that some of the info object in question are not already active.. and ultimately the catalog doesnt get activated , although more than half of its infoobjects are already active under the '0CHANOTASSIGNED' node.
Please let me know whether I can get only the Catalog activated without getting any existing activated info object merged or installing those which are not already activated.
Thanks
Arunava

Hello Arunava,
Just drag the infoobject catalog as u did earlier to the left in the bus cont installation screen with "only necessary object" option.
Dont try to deselect any object. Go ahead with the default options and install in background.
Now you can check for the available objects in the catalog. if you have some objects missing, and available in unassigned node,double click on the newly installed infoobject catalog, select the required objects (which are not yet assigned to this) from the left side and bring them to the right side.
this will make the unassigned objects assigned to the required catalog.
Hope it helps..

How to reduce the length of the info object that's being used?

Hi All,
I have created info objects and used them in a DSO. Now I want to reduce the length of the info objects but i'm unable to do it. When I reduced the length and tried activating the Info object, it's giving me error and the info object is not getting activated. Please guide me how I can reduce the length and activate the Info Object.
Thanks
Hima Bindu

Reducing the length of an infoobject is not that easy
Cleanest way -
Drop all transaction data for that infoobject
Drop all data in the DSO and cubes.
Reduce the length and then activate and transport all the infoobject and there dependence objects.

Collecting too many objects for info-object catalog.

We are on BI 7.0 and I'm collecting info-object catalog for 0FIAR_CHA01 & 0FIAR_KYF01.
Grouping is set to Only necessary objects.
Collection Mode is set to Collect Automatically
Info area & info-object folders are collected.
There is a Package name shown but no previous transport number listed.
It is not $tmp.
What is this indicating?
No objects are checked in the transport box.
I manually check the folder levels so everything is checked.
I create the transport.
I then go to SE10 and check the transport objects and I see several additional objects in the transport that did not appear in the collector window.
Example:
   Application Components
   LOIO
   PHIO
Why were these added to the transport when they did not show on the collection window?
Your expertise is needed.
Thanks
Den

Hi Dennis ,
The system is by default picking up all object types.Actaully ideally it should pick up the Info Objects from the same Catalog.
In Transport connection after you select and move the Info Object catalog for collection ,When you select Package the System is Proposing all Objects as a part of Select Objects for Changing Package.
Effectively you can click on Change Package Icon and see and for Info Objects you selected only should be present in this selection.
Package ID is R3TR anad Object is IOBJ and the object name , Deselect all objects selected and select only your objects. Then it would work.
This will fix your issue and assign points if it heps

How to track the user who deleted the info object.

Dear Gurus,
In our BI system one info object has got deleted. If I need to track the user who has deleted that how can I track it(in which DBtable). And the complication is one user ID is being used by many people, in this case how can I track that from which machine the Info Object has been deleted(if there is any possibility to track the machines by IP address).
Kindly let me know if there is any procedure to find it out. Your help will be rewarded with a great honour.
Regards
Mohan Kumar

Hi dear,
you have to go in SLG1 transaction, and then select
Object: RSD
Subobject: IOBJ_DEL
External ID: (put here the name of your deleted IO)
Then choose a time range...and voilà, you can find the user who deleted the IO...
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto
About the IP...look at USR41 table, but I think it's a bit difficult fo find data referred to the past...
If you haven't activated logon auditing in SM19...

How to increase the length of the Info object

Hi All
Any one have idea about how to increse the length of the Info object Char(beyond 60). Can you please explain me in detail we are using BI7.0.
Thanks
Vani

Hello Vani,
You cannot increase the length of an info-object beyond 60 chars.However if you want to store a characteristics data with more than length 60, then you may create separate info-objects
for example: if you need to store 'notes' which might have length more than 60,
then you may create info-objects like notes 1/3 ---store first 60 chars.
notes 2/3 --- store next 60 characters and so on.
Thanx
Priyanka

How to remove the space in the info object level?

Hi,
I created a Master Data info Object and gave the data type as <b>Char</b> and length as <b>30</b>.
From the source system I am getting the data of length 9. But at PSA level I am getting some erroneous records.
Example: Data from the source system 'a12345678'
Data in PSA 'a12345678b' -
*** where b - Blank
With out changing the length how can I remove the spaces (Blank)?
Can any one suggest me how to remove, where and what to apply ?
I need to do any settings at the info object level or at the Transfer Rule?
Please provide the each and every step to resolve my problem.
Thank you

Hey you can allow space in RSKC tcode and execute it... .that's it .
and below is the routine for invalid chars and you can have this in update rules ..
data: w_fielda(x) type c.
data: w_result(x) type c.
data: w_temp_field(1) type c.
data: w_count type i.
w_fielda = COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/Zxxxxxx.
w_count = 0.
do x times.
clear w_temp_field.
w_temp_field = w_fielda+w_count(1).
if w_temp_field CA
'!"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>? _0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.
w_result+w_count(1) = w_temp_field.
endif.
w_count = w_count + 1.
enddo.

How can we find out the info object in a query ....?

How can we find out the info object in a query is belongs to that particular info cube? If the query is built on a Multiprovider having 4 different info cubes.

Hi,
If you have restrictions at the infoprovider level in the RKF then it is coming from that particular infocube.
Or go to the selection option in the multiprovider...her you can get the mappings of which key figure is populted from which infocube.
For characteristics you will have to look for identification tab in the characteristics option.
Thanks

Error when assigning SID while uploading text in the info-object of the DSO

Hi
I have a scenario where I need to extract a char 60 field from R/3 in the DSO.
I have created the info-object which is char 60 which has the master data text activated.
In the DSO transformation I have mapped it to the R/3 field.
While activating the data in DSO its giving the error message
'Value '20 per action plan' (hex. '32302070657220616374696F6E20706C616E') of characteristic'
'Error when assigning SID: Action VAL_SID_CONVERT InfoObject ZRMSD '
How to overcome this issue.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Change the InfoObject for this text so that it will allow lowercase letters. To do this, go into Change mode on the InfoObject, go to the General tab, check the Lowercase letters checkbox and activate the InfoObject. After this has been activated, you can then restart your process and this SID violation error should no longer be thrown for this.
If you don't want to do this, then you can use the TOUPPER formula in the Characteristic Routine, in the Transformation, to change the value of this field contents to uppercase. This can also be done by using an ABAP routine like this:
TRANSLATE column TO UPPER CASE.

External field catalog & Info object catalogs - Role - in Flexible upload

1) What is the role of Info Object catalogs maintained in the Data Basis & the Source Data Basis?
Please be kind enough to mention a scenario u2013 underlining their utility in the consolidation process.
Like u2026.
Are they used for loading master data from source system to the BCS system?
Can they be used in the flexible upload u2013 data collection function?
Are they used for as a source of AFD data?
I came across the below documentation on flexible upload - in an SAP material.
*When uploading from a field catalog, you also have the option of using mapping. In this case, the file structure no longer has to correspond with the structure of the data basis.*
Understood the above 2 points.
*Rather, you can assign a BW InfoObjectCatalog that acts as the data structure description for the file here. You specify this InfoObjectCatalog in Customizing for the data basis.*
2)Does the above statement implies that we need not do any setting in the field catalog tab of the flexible upload? If yes, what do we do?
In the flexible upload u2013 field catalog tab u2013 we define the data structure for the file we upload (correct me if Iu2019m wrong).
If you use an external field catalog, you have to specify how you want to map the data structure for the file to the structure for the data basis.
3)Pls give an example of an external field catalog.
4)Can we use an external field catalog in the upload of RFD?
Many Thanks
Kind Regards,
Kumar

There are two possibilities of using Infoobject catalog in SEM-BCS (it is true for both catalogs, characteristics and key figures):
u2022 In a data basis. The system adds these chars and KFs that are sitting in the defined in the Data Basis catalogs to u201CAdditional Fieldsu201D of each data stream (the tab strip u201CData Stream Fieldsu201D in data basis. If you check some of these fields and generate data basis, these additional infoobjects will be placed into appropriate ODS/DSO objects and you will be able to use them for uploading of some extra information.
Without indicating the Infoobject Catalog for Chars youu2019ll not be able to configure a new functionality of "assets/liabilities" at all.
u2022 In a source data basis.
After including source data basis to your data basis youu2019ll be able to use external infoobjects catalog in a method of the category Flexible Upload. Tick the flag of using the external catalog and choose the SDB. In the mapping tab youu2019ll have a possibility to choose from those chars and KFs that are located in the catalogs.
This might be used for upload of ANY data, RFD, AFD or master data.
The scenarios, I guess, are rather obvious.
Hope this helps.

How to activate all inactive objects for current user

Hi
How to activate all inactive objects for current user ...
... I have found a (long winded) way to do this:
- Environment / Inactive Objects
- Add to Worklist
- Display Worklist
- Select All
- Activate
this will open a dialog titled "Inactive Objects for <username>"
which has the exact functionality I need ... but I can't figure out how to get to this dialog directly - without so many intermediate steps
the SAP docs repeatedly mention the ability to activate the inactive worklist - but do not mention how
does anybody know the TCode for this dialog?
thanks
ps does the term "mass activation" apply to importing change requests rather than development activation?
Edited by: FireBean500 on Jun 4, 2010 11:07 PM

No other way. But usually it's far more simple as all objects are already in our own worklist.
I wonder why your objects are not already in your worklist, as everytime you create or maintain an object, it is added to your worklist.

How to get the profile object in simple java class (Property accessor)

Hi All,
Please guide me how to get the profile object in simple java class (Property accessor) which is extending the RepositoryPropertyDescriptor.
I have one requirement where i need the profile object i.e i have store id which is tied to profile .so i need the profile object in the property accessor of the SKU item descriptor property, which is extending RepositoryPropertyDescriptor.
a.I dont have request object also to do request.resolvename.
b.It is not a component to create setter and getter.It is simple java class which is extending the RepositoryPropertyDescriptor.
Advance Thanks.

Iam afraid you might run into synchronization issues with it. You are trying to get/set value of property of a sku repository item that is shared across various profiles.
Say one profile A called setPropertyValue("propertyName", value).Now another profile B accesses
getPropertyValue() {
super.getPropertyValue() // Chance of getting value set by Profile A.
// Perform logic
There is a chance that profile B getting the value set by Profile A and hence inconsistency.
How about doing this way??
Create PropertyDescriptor in Profile (i.e user item descriptor), pass the attribute CustomCatalogTools in userProfile.xml to that property.
<attribute name="catalogTools" value="atg.commerce.catalog.CustomCatalogTools"/>
getPropertyValue()
//You have Profile item descriptor and also storeId property value.
// Use CustomCatalogTools.findSku();
// Use storeId, profile repository item, sku repository item to perform the logic
Here user itemdescriptor getPropertyValue/setPropertyValue is always called by same profile and there is consistency.
