How to read master data in transformation routine?

Hi gurus,
I am loading data from 0HR_PA_0 data source.
I have 2 fields in the DS: PERNR (Personal Number) and CALMONTH (Calendar year/month).
I need to read 0EMPLOYEE's attribute 0ENTRYDATE and count the difference between Entry date and Calendar year/month.
Could you please help me with it? I don't know ABAP that much, so I am not able to write it by myself...
Regards,
Dorota

Hi Dorota ,
I guess your main problem is how to get difference of two dates in no of days.Please find following code for the same .
I am asumming that you want days difference from 01 date of month .If not then it can be changed as per requirement.Here the variable datediff will give you output in no of days .
data :v_date1 like sy-datum ,
v_date2 like sy-datum ,
datediff(6) type n.
v_date1 = '20100301'.
v_date2 = sy-datum.
datediff = v_date1 - v_date2 .
If you please clear some point I can help you to write code .My questions :
1) where you want to write this code .(start/end routine etc)
2) What will be your start day value (1st day of month) or date value from 0ENTRYDATE.
ex : 0ENTRYDATE = 20101223
CALMONTH = 201003
so we need day value for calmonth that can be 01 or 23 (as in 0ENTRYDATE).
Hope this will help .

Jaya

Problem in Read Master Data rule type in Transformation

Hi,
I have 'Tax Classification' & 'Sales Territory' as attributes for 0customer (Master data). I loaded master data for 0customer & data have come up for this 2 fields. I want this 2 fields in my DSO with data filled. As this 2 fields are not in Transaction datasource of my DSO, i added this 2 fields in the Target side in Transformation of the DSO. In Transformation, I gave the rule type as 'Read Master Data' from attribute of '0customer' & mapped KUNAG (Sold-to) to this 2 fields. Activated the Transformation & executed the DTP.
When i check the data, i could see that the Infoobject 'Sales Territory' column alone is filled but 'Tax Classification' column is blank. Tax classification has data in 0customer master data for the displayed customer values but still data is not coming in DSO.
How does this happen when both the fields have same mapping & rule type and still data not getting populated for one field alone. Am i missing anything?

hi,
the green request in MD does not means that the data in MD is activated, you need to activate it after loading everytime so that it reflects in where used list as well.

Read Master Data in BW Transformation

Hi,
     I am using BW 740 SP02 and I need in a transformation rule to use the option "READ MASTER DATA", In fact this enables me to use all attributes of an infoObject and affect them to my data target ( Infocube).
     I was wondering if there would be any possibility to affect also master data text of an infoObject and affect them to a data target?
I know that master data text are available through Bex queries, but for my case I need to have them in my Infocube.
Best Regards,
RAFIK

Hi Mohamed,
Using standard rule type this is not possible
However there are two ways to achieve this:
1. you use abap routine to read the text value from text table of info object (BIC/Txxx) in transformation
2. a. add a char info object to your master data
    b. create another transformation from text data source to populate this new field (which is actually text)
    c. create DTP to populate this new field with text values
    d. now you can easily use, 'read master data' rule in transformation and assign the text field to your target field
hope this helps,

Error - InfoObject cannot be used to read master data

Hi All,
We am working on mapping objects in a transformation, on some of the transformation I am using the master data attribute to fill the infoobject. In some cases the mapping happens without incident but in others we are getting the following error
InfoObject cannot be used to read master data
Inside the long text of the message it says:
InfoObject does not have the correct attributes to be used to read master data for the target field
The object is one of the master data attributes, so we are not sure why we are recieving this error?
We have recieved it with 0COMP_CODE trying to load Fiscal Year Variant and with a non standard enhanced object ZMATERIAL which is a copy of 0MATERIAL with added attributes for Product Class, Product Group and Product Line wich come from the product hierarchy and are populated on the load of the material from product hierarchy.
Has anyone else had an issue with this error and can you tell us how you fixed it???
Thank you!
Caroline

You received this error for loading 0FISCVARNT (Fiscal Year Variant) because that InfoObject isn't an attribute of 0COMP_CODE (Company Code) and it cannot therefore determine what data to populate based on your input. Instead of using 0COMP_CODE, you may have to enter a constant value for the Fiscal Year Variant if you don't have it in your source InfoProvider.
When you created ZMATERIAL, did you use 0MATERIAL as a reference so that it would inherit the attributes and texts? If so, Product Class, Product Group and Product Line would have to be attributes of 0MATERIAL. If you didn't reference 0MATERIAL and are loading attributes directly to the custom InfoObject attributes, then Product Class, Product Group and Product Line would have to be attributes in ZMATERIAL in order to use the Use Master Data function for transformations. You may have to derive the values for these different, such as add ABAP for lookup routines.

Error while assigning infoobject to the read master data in rule type

Hi sdns,
I want to read the zwostd info object data from zemployee master infoobject attribute list. For that i have selected rule details of zwostd infoobject in transformation of info cube, then i am tring to select the read master data rule type. It is taking more time and then it displayed error like permitted time was exceeded. Could any one please give me the solution for this problem.
thanks
karun

Sometimes directly typing the infoobject name in the field helps - otherwise it tries to fetch all the infoobjects available which is possibly why the time out occurs..?
Enter the Master Data infoobject directly and then you will get the fields assigned.
However my experience with read master data has been that whenever you change the master data IOBJ by way of adding / removing Nav Attributes / attributes etc - all the transformations using the read master data for the IOBJ that is being changed will get deactivated and it is a pain reactivating and transporting them again - particularly so when you are developing something on them and the changes are stuck across multiple requests ...
IMHO use a routine instead to do the same - it involves lesser maintenance. SAP is anyway going to run a similar SQL...

Read master Data is not behaving properly

HI All,
We have upgraded BI server with SAP_BW patch 17.
we have used Read master data rule type in the transformation to ODS and its giving proper output where as expected .But at the same time it also giving some improper out put ,means for those values which are not there in masterdata it is giving some wrong value , but while testing in to trasformation it is giving message for those entries that they are not available in the master data .What we did was loaded flat file for billing type in to Z infoobject contains two more info object in to attribute tab and in to those attribute through flat file we are loading some value and during transaction load we want attribute value to be filled for those biling type which were loaded in master data through flat file.
please help

Hello
This is further to the problem described by Gaurav.
Let me explain the proble with an example
Consider the Master data:
Doc Type(key)                 Attr 1                   Attr 2
ZORS                            PRODUCT            Revenue
ZORD                            PRODUCT            Revenue
ZORP                            PROJECT             Revenue
ZMTO                            PROJECT             Revenue
ZCOS                            SERVICE              Revenue
Consider Transaction data
Doc        Doc Type
10001     ZORS
10002     ZORD
10003     ZORP
10005     S1
10006     ZBDN
Expected O/p in the ODS is
Doc        Doc Type       Attr1
10001     ZORS           PRODUCT
10002     ZORD           PRODUCT
10003     ZORP           PROJECT
10005     S1
10006     ZBDN
10007     ZCOS           SERVICE
the Observed O/p
Doc        Doc Type       Attr1
10001     ZORS           PRODUCT
10002     ZORD           PRODUCT
10003     ZORP           PROJECT
10005     S1                PROJECT
10006     ZBDN           PROJECT
10007     ZCOS           SERVICE
We are not able to understand how Attribute values are coming for Doc No 10005 and 10006.
We have recently applied patch 17.
Is there any reason for this
Thanks

How to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems

HI all,
how to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems.
Please explain the steps.
Thanks,
cheta.

HI,
Its normally done following: Transferring the master datasources in RSA5 to RSA6 and then replicating the DS into BW and assignment of DS to Infosource and cretaion of Infopackage and load it into the master tables.
Generally, the control parameters for data transfer from a source system are maintained in extractor
customizing. In extractor customizing, you can access the corresponding source system in the source
system tree of the SAP BW Administrator Workbench by using the context menu.
To display or change the settings for data transfer at source system level, choose Business
Information Warehouse → General Settings → Maintaining Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
Note: The values for the data transfer are not hard limitations. It depends on the DataSource if these
limits can be followed.
In the SAP BW Scheduler, you can determine the control parameters for data transfer for individual
DataSources. You can determine the size of the data packet, the number of parallel processes for
data transfer and the frequency with which the status IDocs are sent, for every possible update
method for a DataSource.
To do so, choose Scheduler → DataSource → Default Settings for Data transfer.
In this way you can, for example, update transaction data in larger data packets in the PSA. If you
want to update master data in dialog mode, smaller packets ensure faster processing.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks,Ramoji.

Read Master Data doesn't work

hi guys
i tryied in everyway to use read master data in a transformation in BI 7.0
but ii always retrieve errors
"No InfoObject available for reading of master data".
source SODS with
infoobject A Master data ( Attribute Ab)
target TODS with
infoobject Ab
infoobject A Master data
i want to write in the target ODS not only the master data A but also his attribute Ab
when I go into the Transformation Rule for Ab, I choose the Rule Type "Master Data Read" and I should be able to select the A infoObject in the Source InfoObject list,
and Ab in IOassignmnt but when I try, I only get an error message saying "No InfoObject available for reading of master data".
i searched into the forum and there are other cases like this not answered
thanks

I just resolved this problem on my computer running Windows 7 64 bit. \
Try the following:
Open Adobe Reader XI
Choose Edit > Preferences
A dialogue box will open with a "Categories" Column on the Left, and another broader section on the right with items to check
FROM THE LEFT COLUMN choose "Security (Enhanced)"
Now look to the right of the categories column; you will see a check box with "Enable Protected Mode at Startup" checked
Uncheck that box.
When Adobe asks you if you're sure, choose "yes"
Close Adobe and then restart the program.
Open a pdf document THAT IS NOT A SCANNED DOCUMENT
Choose View > Read Out Loud > Activate Read Outloud
Then click on a section of the doucment you want read. It will be bounded by a box and start reading.
You may also choose to read the entire document or a single page.
Hope this helps.

How to read the data in excel sheet

Dear sir,
How to read the data in excel sheet when i recieve a data serial communication... ie i have store a data in excel such that
Cell A Cell B
A Apple
B Ball
C Cat
D Doll
when i recieve A from serial communication i have to display Apple, and when i recieve B i have to display Ball and so on..

Hi,
I would recommend you to have a look at the VI attached. It makes use of a VI named 'Read from Spreadsheet' to read the row and column data from the tab delimited excel file. The read data is then searched for the Alphabet specified and finally returns you the corresponding string. The test file used to validate the operation of the VI is also attached.
Trust this would help you solve the issue.

Read Master Data for Process order status change (REL to CRTD)

I am unable to read master data and thus change the status of process order from REL to CRTD. (COR2)
The reason it says, error in BOM reading, Transport Requirement (TR) already generated.
Even after deleting the TR (LB02), the issue still exists.
Is there another way of changing the status or some more steps are needed for the TR deletion?
Thnx!
Abhi.

Order header Status-
REL Released
MSPT Material shortage
PRT Printed
PRC Pre-costed
BASC Batch assignment complete
BCRQ Order to be handled in batches
SETC Settlement rule create.
In the error log it gives-
Diagnosis
Transfer requirements have already been generated, so therefore the bill of material cannot be read.
System Response
The system does not execute the action.
Then I deleted the TR (LB02), but still I cannot reread the master data.
The MSPT was for only 2 materials out of 6 and there is no GMPS status.
There is prod supply area and control cycle used.
and the TR generated at order release.
