Hi,
With Master Data:
If you set this indicator, the characteristic may have attributes. In this case the system generates a P table for this characteristic. This table contains the key of the characteristic and any attributes that might exist. It is used as a check table for the SID table. When you load transaction data, there is check whether there is a characteristic value in the P table if the referential integrity is used.
With Maintain Master Data you can go from the main menu to the maintenance dialog for processing attributes.
The master data table can have a time-dependent and a time-independent part.
In attribute maintenance, determine whether an attribute is time-dependent or time independent.
With Texts:
Here, you determine whether the characteristic has texts.
If you want to use texts with a characteristic, you have to select at least one text. The short text (20 characters) option is set by default but you can also choose medium-length texts (40 characters) or long texts (60 characters).

SID table in the general tab and master data/text tab

Hello Bi Experts,
For example 0material Info-object:
There is a SID table in the general tab i.e /BI0/SCOMP_CODE
There is another SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab i.e /BI0/XCOMP_CODE,here there are Nav attributes with name S__0COMPANY.
When i got 0company info-object it got its own SID table i.e /BI0/SCOMPANY
Can some body explain me what is significance of SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab and what is difference with SID Table of attribute?
Cheers,
Stalin

Hi,
SID is surrogate ID generated by the system. The SID tables are created when we create a master data IO. In SAP BW star schema, the distinction is made between two self contained areas: Infocube & master data tables/SID tables.
The master data doesn't reside in the satr schema but resides in separate tables which are shared across all the star schemas in SAP BW. A numer ID is generated which connects the dimension tables of the infocube to that of the master data tables.
The dimension tables contain the dim ID and SID of a particular IO. Using this SID the attributes and texts of an master data Io is accessed.
The SID table is connected to the associated master data tables via teh char key
Sid Tables are like pointers in C
Tables Starting with Description:
M - View of master data table
Q - Time Dependent master data table
H - Hierarchy table
K - Hierarchy SID table
I - SID Hierarchy structure
J - Hierarchy interval table
S - SID table
Y - Time Dependent SID table
T - Text Table
F - Fact Table - Direct data for cube ( B-Tree Index )
E - Fact Table - Compress cube ( Bitmap Index )

How to create master data/text for an info object

Hi All,
I am working on a report and having a problem with an info object since it has no master data. This characteristic is supposed to be in the selection parameters and also should contain key and text in it. Since there is no master data for this info object there is no text and keys don't come up. Does any one knows how to add master data to this info object without reloading the ODS?
Thanks

Mike,
You shold load the master data into BW first,
othere wise you can do one thing
goto infopackage and schedule where in the update tab select the radio button
Always update the data,even if no masterdata is exist for that.

How to find unassigned master data text objects in process chain in bi

Hi
Please let me know how to find the unassigned master data text objects in process chain.

hi,
actually if u want to find that , is ur Unassigned Infoobject in present in process chain or not, , that u can find out just by right
click on your DTP (master data Txt datasource--> Master data text ), if this is present in Process chain, then on ryt click, the process chain option will be active. by clicking over that u can find the name in which this exists.
thanks.

Can Info Object be a Data Target

Hi Gurus
Can a Info Object be a data target. Would appreciate a explanation on this.
GSR

Hi S R G,
You can indicate an InfoObject of type characteristic as a data target / InfoProvider if it has attributes and/or texts. The data is then loaded into the master data tables using the update rules.
when we check the option "characteristic as infoprovider", it creates three tables, suppose InfoObject name is TTT then::
1. /BI0/MTTT - Master data Table
2. /BI0/PTTT - Master Data Table (Time Independent)
3. /BI0/XTTT - SID Table.
Data store in Master Data Table and when we delete the request data wo'nt delete, for that we have to drop the master data table in SE14 transaction.

Loading data from SAP BW standard table to master data text

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me the steps to load data from SAP BW standard table to master data text?
How should the data source be created?
Thanks in advance.

Hi aparajith,
Have you loaded the master data attr ?
ECC Steps
then load the attr text
create the ztable using standard table using generic data source using table function.
there you can select the which field you required
check the data in RSA3
BI STEPS: -
check the source system connection.
replicate the data source
create of find the master data object for text (including attr)
map the transformation
run the info package
create the DTP.
check the data in target object.
Thanks,
Phani.

Error loading master data text

Hi all,
When I does a data load from PSA for master data text,
error appears whcih shows "0OI_PBLTYP : Data record 3 ('INFO') : Language key is initial".
Please tell me why this error.
Hint:I have 17 records in PSA for 11 location types.
11 in English and 6 in German.
Thanks ,
Chintu.

Hi Chintu,
Since you have made the info-object as "language-dependent" the system is looking for lang-key in the data. You can either enter the lang-key in the pSA directly. But if the source system is R/3 my suggestion would be that you pick up the lang-key for the datasource. This would ensure that you dont have to edit the PSA each time you load.

Confusion about Master data text

Hello all, I am little bit confused about the modelling concept in BI7. My confusion is about the Text table creation and its concepts.
I got a Flat File data in my PC .Here is the scenario:
Material Num, Material Name, Material Description
1111, Desk , Dining table
Material Name and Material Description are the Attributes of Materaial Number here. When i created Infoobjects Material Number , Material Name (Attribute). I can see that system created a Text table with Short descripton and Language key selected. I understand that i have to load master data and text separately. My question is How did that "short text exists" box got changed?
In my case "Material Description" is showing Text data "dining table" correct? do i have to create this material description Infoobject as an attributes of Material Num, and later on load this as Text data to it?
Could anyone tell me how Text data /table come in to play in this example? Under data/texts tab i see that "language dependent" and "short description" are checked. why "long text exist" and "med text" are not ticked? AFter clicking this T table i know its empty at this point, but is this table waiting for the data to be loaded from "Material Description" Field? if anyone could clarify this confusion i will really appreciat it..thanks
DK

Hi DK,
When you create a characteristic, by default 'With Master Data' & 'With Text' option would be checked.
We need to manually un-check this if the characteristic created by us is not master or doesn't have text.
Also, by default 'Short Text Exists' is checked. Short Text can hold description upto 20 chars,
Medium Text - 40 Chars & Long Text - 60 Chars. Depending on the length of the maximum possible length of description that could come from our source, we need to check the appropriate Texts.
And you need not create a separate InfoObject for 'MAterial Description'.
While loading the texts (using Text Transformation & DTP), you can map the Material Description to '0TXTSH' (InfoObject for Short Text).
Hope this helps!

Sort of attributes objects in master data

Hi,
I have a question regarding the attributes of master data info objects.
What is the best way to sort the order of the info objects attributes?
We want the order of the attributes will be set in our local language alphabetically,
and not as a defualt language as set now in English.
The order of the attributes as showen in the WEB (as set on local language) is not alphabetically.
Thanks,
Yossi

I'm going to make some assumptions:
1) The Attribute key values are written in your language's Latin equivalents, but you want to sort them by your language's alphabetic order.
2) The Attributes have not text in your language
Create a data source from your master data values into master data text, hard coding your language set. Set the Attributes in your query to display text, not key values.
Good luck,

Master Data Text File

Hello - I'm attempting to load a master-data text file that includes some fields within a record that have a "0" either in the front or back, or both. I can successfully load the file, however, when I go to maintain/view the master data records, all "0"s are dropped. If anyone could let me know what I need to do so that the "0"s do not get dropped, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you in advance!

Okay, great thanks! I have one question - how will this affect the field if and when alpha characters are present? Also, and I probably shoud have mentioned this earlier, we have "Formula" on the transfer rules for this field to convert any alpha characters to upper case. Does this have any bearing if I change the routine on the info object definition?
Thanks again!

Master data text deletion-urgent pls

Hello
Is there any other way to delete the master data text from the text table other than deleting from SE11 or SE16?
the delete option is greyed out in SE16 and SE11.
Is there any other way to delete the entries without affecting other objects?

Master Data Text and Attributes

Guys,
I read some posts on sdn regarding differences between master data texts and attributes and now I am a little confused. I thought attributes define a char. then what does text do? Does it not define or describe the char as well? If both are doing the same thing then why do we need both ? I am not sure if my understanding is correct. Please help me.
Thanks,
RG

Hi Ram,
To understand in a better way little bit of R/3 work would have been helpful.
In R/3 Every entity has master data maintained like customer, material, plant etc.
If you would see a customer in R/3 you can see it has lots of information..like address,telephone number,street company name, etc.
And along with it we have customer name...i.e. description..(text)
Now in R/3...text tables are generally maintained separately then master data tables...it can be together as well.
Something like for you Ram Goswami is descrption(text) for the user ID XXXXXXX in SDN.
Email ID and company name is the master data stored here for him.
BW has used the same modelling concept to keep the text table separate from the msater data table.
It creates to separate data target for master data and text so that two seperate tables can be maintained in BW and you have to load the data in both to see the master as well as text.
Since we have separate master data table and text table in R/3 therefore we have separate data sources as well based on them.
You would like to have you master data table exactly as the master data table of R/3 so you will add attributes in the infoobject 0customer and it will create a P table for 0customer...keep adding attributes to make the columns in the table and to make the exact copy of R/3 table i.e. to bring all the information from R/3 about customer master you add attributes in the 0customer.The data soiurce based on this table in R/3 will contain the fields from the table.
Now you do the mappings with fields between infoobject and data source and load the data ...so master data is loaded.
For text...once you check the text option in infoobject..SAP creates a new table Tcustomer in the background..
Now you have to do the mappings for this as well through the data source based on the text table in R/3.
In some cases the master data table contains text as well and in that case you use the same data source based on this table to create two separate update rules one for master data object and another one for text object and do the mappings accordingly.
In this case you schedule the load to both the target at the same time and data gets loaded.
but for different data sources you will have to schedule the load separately.
Once data loaded for this...now you can use it in the report and see the text as well as master data attributes in the reports and there values.
I hope that was more then enough
Thanks
Ajeet

Master data text load failure?

Hi all,
My process chain for master data text has failed and i am getting the below error message?
error records written to the application log
error 4 in the update.
pls advise me on this what should i do?
thanks
Pooja

Hi,
I will suggest you to check a few places where you can see the status
1) SM37 job log (In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load) (give request name) and it should give you the details about the request. If its active make sure that the job log is getting updated at frequent intervals.
Also see if there is any 'sysfail' for any datapacket in SM37.
2) SM66 get the job details (server name PID etc from SM37) and see in SM66 if the job is running or not. (In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load). See if its accessing/updating some tables or is not doing anything at all.
3) RSMO see what is available in details tab. It may be in update rules.
4) ST22 check if any short dump has occured.(In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load)
5) SM58 and BD87 for pending tRFCs and IDOCS.
Once you identify you can rectify the error.
If all the records are in PSA you can pull it from the PSA to target. Else you may have to pull it again from source infoprovider.
If its running and if you are able to see it active in SM66 you can wait for some time to let it finish. You can also try SM50 / SM51 to see what is happening in the system level like reading/inserting tables etc.
If you feel its active and running you can verify by checking if the number of records has increased in the data tables.
SM21 - System log can also be helpful.
In your case it is probably because of invalid character issue.
Thanks,
JituK

Master data texts in the list of totals records

Dear all,
I am trying to display master data texts when doing a List of Totals records, but it is not available.
In my former projects, I always had the possibility to display master data texts by default.
Is there any configuration option that I should customize to solve the issue ?
Many thanks for your help

yes but as mentioned several times on EHP topics, you can implement the EHP but you must then also activate the function in transaction SFW5 (FIN_ACC_GROUP_CLOSE)
