Ignore duplicate records for master data attributes

dear experts ,
how & where can i enable "ignore duplicate records" when i am running my DTP to load data
to master data attributes.

Hi Raj
Suppose you are loading master data to InfoObject and in PSA you have more than one records for Key.
Let's assume you are loading some attributes of Document NUmber ( 0DOC_NUMBER) and in PSA you have multiple records for same document number. In PSA this is not a problem, as Key for PSA table is technical key and which is different for every record in PSA. But this is a problem for InfoObject attribute table as more than one records for primary key ( here 0DOC_NUMBER) will create Primary Key consraints in database.
This issue can be easily avoided by selecting "Handle Duplicate Records" in DTP . You will find this option under *update" tab of DTP.

Duplicate reocrds for Master data

Hi Friends,
I have a request which contains duplicate records for master data. When i try to load data, after loading to PSA, BW shows an error saying that there are duplicate records.
My requirement is still i need to load the data overwriting the previous duplicate record.
How to do this?
Thanks,
Raja

Hi,
Subsequently i need to load the data to target as well. If i select the option "Only PSA" and "Ignore double data records" the option for "Update subsequently in data targets" is disabled.
Thanks,

Duplicate records In Master Data

Hi,
I don't understant why we get Duplicate records in Master Data though it has got the overwritten functionality..
Any idea will be appreciated..

Hi,
<u>Solution:</u> if the load to master data fails due to duplicate records,
Goto Monitor screen --> in the details tab --> under processeing find the duplicate record --> on the context menu of the error record select 'Manual update'.
After the above step is done....trigger the attribute change run for that infoobject.
This should solve your problem.
if there is any problem in the reporting, select the data using filter option on the master data.

Vijay.

Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

Hi BI Experts,
Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as ,
and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
(LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
now i used to rsa1old transaction to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for IOSP_Mat
now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
Thanks,
Srijith

apologies to all of you for late response,
was busy with some other activities.
I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
Thanks again for your quick response.
Once again sorry to all of you for my late response
Thanks,

Datasource for master data attributes : QUAN fields ?

Hi,
In the datasources for master data attributes (in R3), fields type QUAN are in the extraction structure but not in the datasource (for example field LFMNG is in extraction structure BIW_MVKE_S but is not in the datasource 0MAT_SALES_ATTR).
Is there a standard way to have these fields type QUAN in master data attributes ?
Otherwise I think to this solution :
=> add a field ZZLFMNG type DEC (DEC fields are in the datasource for master data attributes) in a structure append of BIW_MVKE_S
=> in the user-exit for master data attributes : move the value of LFMNG to ZZLFMNG
=> in the infosource in BW : assign an infoobject type QUAN to the field ZZLFMNG
What do you think of it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I'm adding this field LFMNG too, but after I update the roosfield table an error occurs in RSA6.
This error said that the MEINS field is hide in the DataSource. But we there isn't this field there. Someone knows what should I do?
Thanks!

Why do this error occur?How can we rectify this in a production environment?
Thanks and Regards,

About delta loading for master data attribute

Hi all,
We have a master data attribute loading failed which is a delta loading. I have to fix this problem but I have two questions:
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
Thanks a lot

Hi...
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
Look.....for master data.....no need to delete request from the target..........just make the status red.......and repeat the load.....But problem is that master data sometimes does'nt support Repeat delta..........if u repeat......then load will again fail with Update mode R.........in that case u hav to do re-init.......
1) delete the init flag.......(In the IP scheduler >> in the top Scheduler tab >> Initialization option for source system)
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise .....init without data transfer.....if the last delta failed picking 0 records.......
3) then Delta.......
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
1) Make the QM status red.........to set back the init pointer.......
2) Repeat the load.....
After that.........if again load failed with Update mode R.....
1) delete the init flag.......
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise init without data transfer.....
3) then Delta.......

Webi error for master data attributes if universe is on top of BI query

Hi All,
We are using BO XI R2 SP5 integrated with SAP BI 7.0.
We have built a universe on top of a BI query and when we try to build a web intelligence report that includes master data attributes like Customer City,Customer Region etc BO throws the following error:
Error 1:
Database error: [SOFA Driver] : Error getting members for hierarchy (level=ZFI_I03/ZFI_I03_Q0003, member=[ZFI_I03___F172], opcode=[ZFI_I03___F172]) . System error in program CL_RSDM_READ_MASTER_DATA and form VALUEREAD-02- (see long text). Contact your Business Objects administrator or database supplier for more information. (Error: WIS 10901)
For a universe built on a different BI query with master data attributes mentioned above,a different error occuring.
Error 2:
Your Web Intelligence session has timed out. Log out and log in again to InfoView. (Error: WIJ 77778)
We have tried:
1) We have executed the function module BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_DIMENSIONS with necessary inputs query/cube and we got correct output, like members, optional properties, selected properties and restrictions.But, still our problem remains same.
2) Transaction u201CRSRTu201D and executed the query,transaction RSRV to check SID-tables and the related masterdata.
Above steps we performed in response to SAP tickets 541052 / 2009,541131 / 2009 based on logs generated,but still the error persists.
What is working:
If a universe is built on top af an infocube directly, then there is no problem with master data attributes in webi report.
Please let us know if you need more details to help us resolve this issue.

Hi Naresh,
based on the MDX you can identify that those are navigational attributes and thats why the issue is not happening when talking to the cube directly because when you connect to the cube directly the navigational attributes are not available.
Take a look at note : 996197
not sure if it will solve the problem because there are other notes when you search for the error message but this was most of the times the one that resolved the issue.
the issue is in the BAPI functions

Getting duplicate data records for master data

Hi All,
When the process chain for the master data, i am getting duplicate data records and , for that selected the options in Info package level under processing 1)a update PSA and subsequentky data targets and alternateely select the option Ignore double data records. But still the load was failing and error message "Duplicate Data Records" after that rhe sehuduled the Info package then i am not getting the error message next time,
Can any one help on this to resolve the issue.
Regrasd
KK

Yes, for the first option u can write a routine ,what is ur data target--> if it is a cube, there may be a chances of duplicate records because of the additive nature.if its a ODS then u can avoid this, bec only delta is going to be updated.
Regarding the time dependant attributes, its based on the date field.we have 4 types of slowly changing dimensions.

Duplicated records in Master Data Attribute Load

Hi All,
I'm getting the following errors during a masterdata attribute load:
*1 duplicate record found. 8 recordings used in table /BIC/QEMP_IPF
From my experience, when this error happened to other loads, I can make it go away by changing the infopackage setting to update to PSA and then to InfoObject (package by package). However for this load, I have already selected this infopackage setting and the error is still happening.
Can anyone advise me on how to troubleshoot this further? Thanks.
Regards,
KM

You selected option 1 from IP, select option 3 under processing tab.
IP->processing->only PSA+ select Update Subsequently to Data Target + select ignore double data records
Hope it will work fine.

Duplicate records in master data info object

dear friends,
i got a standard infoobject called 'A' and it has got some attributes B,C,D,E for that one standard datasource with the following fields A,B,C,D,E exists and i loaded data. abapers had created a z table with the following P,Q,R,S,X,Y,Z fields. 'P' holds the same records what the 'A' infoobject holds. my requirement is to create a report on the following fields:
P,Q,R,S,B,C,D,E
WAT I DONE IS I CREATED A GENERIC DATASOURCE FOR THE FOLLOWING FIELDS P,Q,R,S AND I ADDED THE STANDARD INFOOBJECT CALLED 'A' WITH THE FOLLOWING FIELDS: Q,R,S.
AND I CRTEATED AND SHEDULED THE INFOPACKAGE FOR THE STANDARD DATASOURCE(A,B,C,D,E,) TO STANDARD INFOOBJECT(A,B,C,D,E,Q,R,S). NEXT I CREATED THE ANOTHER INFOPACKAGE AND SHEDULED THE INFOPACKAGE AND SHEDULED FROM GENERIC DATASOURCE (P,Q,R,S) TO STANDARD INFOOBJECT(A,B,C,D,E,P,Q,R,S) WITH TRANSFER RULES P->A,Q->Q,R->R,S->S. AFTER LOADING THE DATA I AM GETTING DUPLICATE RECORDS.I WILL GIVE THE TABLE HOW MY MASTER DATA LOOKS LIKE
A B C D E P Q R S
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 6
3 4 5 6 7
1         6 7 8 9
2         7 8 9 3
3         4 6 2 1
THIS IS HOW MY MASTERDATA LOOKS LIKE BUT I NEED IN THE FOLLLOWING FORMAT:
A B C D E P Q R S
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 3
3 4 5 6 7 4 6 2 1
PLEASE LET ME KNOW
THANKS & REGARDS,
HARI

Hari,
   why don't you enhance the Masterdata info object?. You are suppose to see overwritten records. infoobject A is primary key in the table.
try to enhance the masterdata Datasource. you will get required output or create masterdat generic Data source.
All the best.
any questions let us know.

Request Status for Master Data Attributes Load

Dear All,
We are trying to load attribute master data and volume of which is relatively huge around 10,000 records.
We are facing challenge while updating attribute data from master data info object , the load status remains in yellow status and when we went to details screen it states that data is transfered to transfer rule . ( it has been loaded successfully in to PSA).
Could anybody please give some hint on this challenge ??
Regards
Kapadia

Hi Paolo Siniscalco,
You are right, as number of records are more , i have chosen update of "Only PSA" and then "Subsequently in Data Targets".
I tried other option also which is infopackage schedule "Execute in Back ground" and
"Request batch process runs untill all data is updated in BW". And process went in to infinite loop.
Some how i am not able to track out why the request status is not changing .

Sid for master data

hi all
we know that sidtable is generated for masterdata.
Does an sid table maintained and generated only for masterdata attribute or generates each sid seperately for masterdata attribute ,masterdata text and master data hierarchy .

Hi.
SID tables are only generated for Master Data Attributes.

Can routine replace "master data attribute of" update rule for performance?

Hi all,
We are working on CRM-BW data modeling, We have to look up agent master data for agent level and position for each transaction data. So now we are using "Master data attribute of" update rule. Can we use routine instead of "Master data Attribute of" ? Will it improve the loading performance? Since we have to load 1 lack transaction records , where as we have 20,000 agent details in agent master data.My understanding is, for each record in data package the system has to go to master data table and bring the agent details & store in cubes. Say one agent created 10 transactions, then this option "master data attribute of" will read the agent master data 10 times even though we are going to pull same details for all 10 transactions from master data. if we use routine, we can pull the agent details& storing in internal table removing all duplicates and in update routine we can read the internal table.
Will this way improve performance?
let me know if you need further info?
Thanks in advance.
Arun Thangaraj

Hi,
your thinking is absolutely right!
I don't recommend to use the standard attribute derivation since it will perform a SELECT to the database for EACH record.
Better implement a sorted table in your start routine; fill it with SELECT <fields> FROM <master_data_table> FOR ALL ENTRIES OF datapak WHERE OBJVERS = 'A' etc...
In your routine perform a READ itab ... BINARY SEARCH.... I believe that you won't be able to go faster...
hope this helps...
