Importing Master Data Hierarchy from BW Infobject

I am importing from top level node(text hierarchy) of BW infobject Account. All the records are rejected with the following error. It says that Hierarchy nodes include dimension members that do not exist. The reason for this is that it is top level text hierarchy defined by users. I can import the base level one by one. Any sugestion please. How to docs are not very helpful.

BPC 7.5 NW: Import master data and Hierarchy from BI

There is a HTG about Import master data and Hierarchy from SAP NT BW, the BPC cost center master data's property have corresponding attribute InfoObject 0COSTCENTER of BW.
what about for those properties which do not have corresponding attribute in BW? I would asume that START_ROUTINE and END_ROUTINE will do this in BPC side, can we also do this on BW side instead of BPC side?

Hi,
You can check this in start routine which can be called from Transformation file using BADI.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/28/b66863b41f47589b9943f80b63def6/content.htm

Purpose of Update/Overwrite Hierarchy in Import master data package

Hi All,
Please let me know what is the difference in update and overwrite option in import master data package. Here when i tried running the package, both the option are altering the hierarchy of existing member.
My requirement is just to add a new member ID, if it already exist it should not affect those records and only update the new master data records.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramanathan

Hi Ramanathan,
You can run Import Master Data DM package in BPC to perform delta master data load. While you run DM package you get option to load Master Data from BW/BI where you can select:
1. MERGE: this will keep old data intact and also load new master data, and
2. COPY and REPLACE: This will copy new data and delete old master data.
As per your requirement, you need to select the First option. If you select Update option then it will not delete old master data, instead update the members and hierarchy according to the parent-children design which you would have given in the dimension membersheet.
Hope this corresponds to your requirement.

Any suggestions plz?

Hi,
Just follow the docs in "How Tou2026 Automate BPC 7.0, version for the NetWeaver Platform Master Data Loads from BW to BPC"
where you will get detail step-by-step procedure to load data.
Check the url:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00380440-010b-2c10-70a1-e0b431255827
Before that you have to transport into BPC system the load to work fine.
Thanks

Selection Set - Import Master data (prompt selection)

Hello Gurus,
When we run the package "Import Master data from NW infoobject" using data manager in BPC
we have options to select ,Infoobject ,write mode ,format ,transformation file and Dimension ,all of this we can use the answer prompt and provide the inputs using UJD_TEST_PACKAGE and automate it.
Now i want to also provide the inputs of "SET SELECTION" tab available on the package which are below ,so how to automate
Attribute ,Hierarchy ,Language ,Attribute List
in the prompt file in the UJD_TEST_PACKAGE
Thanks

Hi Peter,
You can trigger a BPC load from back end too. For that you need to create variants for the program UJD_TEST_PACKAGE or create a custom program depending on the requirement and then create variants( for example to load cost center master data, create a variant for 0COSTCENTER ) for it. The values for the variant{as already mentioned by Gersh} would be the text enclosed in square brackets after you run a Data Manager Package manually and then view details of the status.
Steps are:
1) Goto SE38
2) Enter the program UJD_TEST_PACKAGE or the custom package
3) Create a variant for the required master data/hierarchy load.
4) Enter the details of variant by using the details after you have manually run a data manager package.
You can test the package and include it in your pc's too.
Thanks,
Vinay

Import Master Data

Is there any tool we can use to import master data with flat file format into RMS as a batch, such as items, orders,etc? Thanks

Oracle provides Data Conversion Utility with the RMS release 12.0.5 onwards. It's part of RMS package, please check that, using that you can import Core,Stores/Warehouses, Org/Merch Hierarchy,Suppplier and items. It doesnt have provision for importing any transactional item like PO, Reciepts etc..we need to create some manual script to import that.
Thank

Import Master Data Function

Hello Experts,
I have a question as to how the BPC 7.0 SP6 NetWeaver version "Import Master Data" function behaves when importing updates.
Currently I have a dimension that I imported master data to because it exceeded the 65K rows that the Admin Tool allows. When I load updates to this dimension using the same "Import Master Data" feature, it takes an extremely long time to import, even though I am adding ONE member to the dimension. I am certain that I am using the Update option.
My question is that is this normal to take this long to add a single member to the dimension? If so, what is the difference of loading one member from a file rather than the entire dimension again if you recieve no performance gains?
Thank you,
Mark Glowczewski

hi andreas,
Use DTW oItems template include UDF's at end of last column.
You can import/update item master using DTW.
There are limitations in importing/updating item master using "Import From Excel".

Master data extraction from SAP ECC

Hi All,
I am a newbie here and teaching myself SAP BI. I have looked through the forums regarding master data extraction from SAP ECC in all forums but could not answers for my question. Please help me out.
I want to extract customer attributes from SAP ECC. i have identified the standard data source 0customer_attr and replicated in SAP BI. I have created infopackage for full update. I validated the extractor checker(RSA3) and found 2 records for 0customer_attr.
When I run the info package, the info package remains in yellow state until it times out. Please let me know in case i am missing anything, Please let me know if there is any other process for master data extraction similar to transaction data extraction.

Hi All,
i did the below and afte clicking execute in the Simple job, it takes me back to the Monitor Infopackage screen.
From your info pack monitor --> menu environment-->job overview--> job in the source system--> prompts for source system(ECC) user id and password, enter them, you will get your job at SM37(ECC), select job and click on log details icon. there you can see details about your error. please share that error screen shot.
Please find the screenshots.

Update and Overwrite Option in Import Master Data Package

Hello,
In the package Import Master Data there is the option "Select method for loading master data". I don't understand very well what is the difference between the "Update" and "Overwrite" option. I have tested both and I get the same result.
Can someone explain to me what is the difference between both options ?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Option overwrite: all properties are overwritten. If they are not maintained in the source file, they will be deleted in the member sheet
Option update: only the properties maintained in the source file are overwritten. The other ones are not changed.

Master data Load from Oracle table

Hi,
My master data comes from an Oracle table. The table has both attributes and texts combined. How do I load the Master data into the text and attribute info objects thru Direct Upload of Master Data?
Is it necessary to go in for Flexible Upload in this case?
Regards

Hi,
you can create two views on the table. One for the text and the other one for the attributes. Create your datasources on these views and assign them to your infoobject.

Hi,
Maintaining Generic DataSources
Use
Regardless of the application, you can create and maintain generic DataSources for transaction data, master data attributes or texts from any transparent table, database view or SAP Query InfoSet, or using a function module. This allows you to extract data generically.
Procedure
Creating Generic DataSources
1. Select the DataSource type and specify a technical name.
2. Choose Create.
The screen for creating a generic DataSource appears.
3. Choose the application component to which you want to assign the DataSource.
4. Enter the descriptive texts. You can choose any text.
5. Select the datasets from which you want to fill the generic DataSource.
a. Choose Extraction from View if you want to extract data from a transparent table or a database view. Enter the name of the table or the database view.
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the database view or transparent table.
For more information about creating and maintaining database views and tables, see the ABAP Dictionary Documentation.
b. Choose Extraction from Query if you want to use a SAP Query InfoSet as the data source. Select the required InfoSet from the InfoSet catalog.
Notes on Extraction Using SAP Query
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the InfoSet.
For more information about maintaining the InfoSet, see the System Administration documentation.
c. Choose Extraction Using FM if you want to extract data using a function module. Enter the function module and extraction structure.
The data must be transferred by the function module in an interface table E_T_DATA.
Interface Description and Extraction Process
For information about the function library, see the ABAP Workbench: Tools documentation.
d. With texts you also have the option of extracting from fixed values for domains.
6. Maintain the settings for delta transfer, as required.
7. Choose Save.
When performing extraction, note SAP Query: Assigning to a User Group.
Note when extracting from a transparent table or view:
If the extraction structure contains a key figure field that references a unit of measure or a currency unit field, this unit field has to be included in the same extraction structure as the key figure field.
A screen appears on which you can edit the fields of the extraction structure.
8. Edit the DataSource:
○ Selection
When you schedule a data request in the BI scheduler, you can enter the selection criteria for the data transfer. For example, you can determine that data requests are only to apply to data from the previous month.
If you set the Selection indicator for a field within the extraction structure, the data for this field is transferred in correspondence with the selection criteria in the scheduler.
○ Hide field
You set this indicator to exclude an extraction structure field from the data transfer. The field is no longer available in BI when you set the transfer rules or generate the transfer structure.
○ Inversion
Reverse postings are possible for customer-defined key figures. Therefore inversion is only active for certain transaction data DataSources. These include DataSources that have a field that is marked as an inversion field, for example, the update mode field in DataSource 0FI_AP_3. If this field has a value, the data records are interpreted as reverse records in BI.
If you want to carry out a reverse posting for a customer-defined field (key figure), set the Inversion indicator. The value of the key figure is transferred to BI in inverted form (multiplied by 1).
○ Field only known in exit
You can enhance data by extending the extraction structure for a DataSource by adding fields in append structures.
The Field Only Known in Exit indicator is set for the fields of an append structure; by default these fields are not passed to the extractor from the field list and selection table.
Deselect the Field Only Known in Exit indicator to enable the Service API to pass on the append structure field to the extractor together with the fields of the delivered extract structures in the field list and in the selection table.
9. Choose DataSource ® Generate.
The DataSource is saved in the source system.
Maintaining Generic DataSources
● Change DataSource
To change a generic DataSource, in the initial screen of DataSource maintenance, enter the name of the DataSource and choose Change.
You can change the assignment of a DataSource to an application component or change the texts of a DataSource. Double-click on the name of the table, view, InfoSet or extraction structure to get to the appropriate maintenance screen. Here you make the changes to add new fields. You can also completely swap transparent tables and database views, though this is not possible with InfoSets. Return to DataSource maintenance and choose Create. The screen for editing a DataSource appears. To save the DataSource in the SAP source system, choose DataSource ® Generate.
If you want to test extraction in the source system independently of a BI system, choose DataSource ® Test Extraction.
● Delta DataSource
On the Change Generic DataSource screen, you can delete any DataSources that are no longer relevant. If you are extracting data from an InfoSet, delete the corresponding query. If you want to delete a DataSource, make sure it is not connected to a BI system.

Is it possible to update master data attributes from an ODS?

HELLO ALL,
we have records coming into our ods like the following:
costcenter1, subcostcentera, subcostcenterb, manager responsible, costs (kf).
This is a custom flat file load from a legacy system.
We would like to just create an update rule from the ODS to the cost center mater data characteristic attributes.
Is this possible?
thank you

Yes its possible to update the master data attributes from an ODS.
Define your master data characteristics as a infoprovider.
Create a update rule on Characteristic with ODS as a source and do general mapping.
For step by step, pls refer..
