InfoObject format

We have loaded the Material Master Data into our BW system for some years.
Recently, our Master Master data number range has been changed from 10 to 18 Char in ECC.
So the Product hierary also change.
Now we would need to load all this new Material Master data into BW.
We have now deleted all the transaction data in InfoCube/ODS.
Question:
Do I have to delete/cleaup all the existing old material master data in InfoObject 0MATERIAL?
What is the best way to delete the records in InfoObject?

Hi,
System will allow to change the length only after deleting the master data. Before deleting master data you need to delete transaction data for 0material. Check the where used list of 0MATERIAL to find affected objects.
I hope you have completed above steps.To delete the master data,You get to the function Delete master data via:
InfoObject Tree -> InfoObject ->Context Menu (right mouse button) -> Delete Master Data.
or
InfoSource Tree ->Application Component ->Master Data InfoSource -> Context Menu (right mouse button) ->Delete Master Data.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw32/helpdata/en/80/1a6365e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
While transporting the object 0MATERIAL, ensure the master data and affected transaction data are deleted in target system - otherwise transport will fail.

Problem in loading 0calday infoobject date format through Flatfile in cube

Hi All,
I am facing problem in loading the 0calday infoobject data through flat file( format - test.csv) in infocube..
Suppose consider we are having two flat files(test1.csv,test2.csv).
1.First file(test1.csv) has a proper date format (ie YYYYMMDD), while loading it is succesfully .
2.Second file(test2.csv) has improper date format(ie DDMMYYYY), loading fails because of this format..
Is it possible to write the Routine(Start Routine) in the Infopackage (External data-Tab) in such a way the if the flat file(test1.csv) is proper date format load calday data without any conversion, if the file is test2.csv convert the date field format from (DDMMYYYY) to (YYYYMMDD) and finally laod data in cube.
With regards,
Hari.

Hello Dinesh,Anil
There is no distinguishing field between the two flat file loads.
We are using only one infoobject(ie 0calday) for two loads.
We are using two external source system(one system generate file as YYYYMMDD date format,and another system generate date formate as DDMMYYY, here two file names are unique.
Here my requirement is i have to compare two file names using start routine of the package (tab:External data) .
if(test1.csv)
load as it is 0calday data (since it is in proper format YYYYMMDD)
else if(test2.csv)
then convert from DDMMYYYY to YYYYMMDD and load data to 0calday infoobject in cube.
Is it possible to compare two files names using start routine.
with regards,
Hari

BW3.5 - Query Cache - InfoObject decimal formatting

Hello all,
I built a bw query, which displays key figures. Each key figure uses the decimal place formatting from the key figure infoobject (In Query Designer, the properties for each keyfigure for Decimal places, is set to "[From Key Figure 0.00]").
I decided to change the InfoObject key figure to have 0 decimals places (in BEx formatting tab for the Key Figure). Now, when I open up query designer, and look at the properties for the Key figure, it still is set to "[From Key Figure 0.00]" (it should be "[From Key Figure 0]" to reflect the Key Figure Infoobject change.
I tried to generate the report using RSRT, and deleting the query cache, but it still shows up with two decimal places. Has anyone encountered this problem before? I am trying to avoid removing the Key Figure infoobject from the query and readding it to reflect the change.
Thanks!

Hello Brendon
You have changed the KF infoObject to show only 0 decimal( no decimal)..that is okay but in query KF property you have selected with 2 decimal so data will be displayiing in 2 decimal...the query setting is local and have priority over KF InfoObject settings...
If you notice in KF property in query u will have one option from the field somethjing which means whatever is defined by KF infoObject...just select that now onwards u will get only those many decimal which u have defined in KF InfoObject
Thanks

Virtual Logic - for multiprovider based on InfoObjects, not based on cubes

Hi all,
I am fully aware how to write virtual key fig/char code for multiproviders that are based on cubes, but not for multiproviders based on InfoObjects. Oddly this has not been a necessity for a couple of years.
I need to understand how to translate the C_S_DATA components.
Normally, on a standard multprovider, I would assign a component thusly.
ASSIGN COMPONENT G_POS_multicubetechname_virtualchartechname
 OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA TO <l_var1>.
This does not work. I can see in C_S_DATA that the objects of interest appear with the format K__xxxx and I am able to decipher those needed.
The question: How do I assign these?
I have attempted the following with no luck.
ASSIGN COMPONENT G_POS_multicubetechname_K__xxxx.
 OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA TO <l_var1>.
I have also tried this.
ASSIGN COMPONENT G_POS_masterInfoObjecttechname_K__xxxx.
 OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA TO <l_var1>.
And just for kicks I have tried this.
ASSIGN COMPONENT G_POS_masterInfoObjecttechname__Kxxxx.
 OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA TO <l_var1>.
Could someone shed some light on this?
Many many thanks,
Larry

Below is the 'c_s_data' components. The K entries are the appropriate items, which I can tell by the character type and length.
S____028
S____1078
S____1100
S____1101
K____1101
K____028
K____1100
K____1078
Oddly, if I proceed as normal, using G_POS_multicubetechname_attributetechname, remember that the data in the cube is attribute data of the master InfoObject, the assignment returns the record number from c_s_data. For example:
G_POS_ZM_EMPL_0COMP_CODE is passing the value of 7 which is the appropriate row number for K____1100 in c_s_data referenced above.
Thanks for trying.
Larry

Remove zeros in LOVs of BW Infoobjects on Webi report

Dear Experts,
My BW infoobjects(0GL_ACCOUNT) showing preceding zeros in the BI4.1 WEBI Prompts LOVs, so user don't want the zeros and they need only values and also they compare BEx analyzer with BO since BEx analyzer LOVs shows only values without zeros.
Is there any function or setting either in BO or BEx designer to remove zeros in the BW infoobjects? so that in BO LOVs display only values without zeros.
Currently values is 0000123456 in BO LOVs and user want only 123456 as per BEx analyzer.
BEx query as semantic Layer
Platform: BI4.1 SP01
BW: BI7.3 SP6
Please help
Thanks in advance.

Date Format Issue IN BEX REPORT

Hi Experts,
we are working on BW 3.5.
we have a ODS where data is uploaded through flat file and there are 5 to 7 date field all made of Z infoobjects.
So now the user is putting the data for these Date fields as 20110901 = 1st sep2011. but in report its coming as 09/01/2011
when i checked all the Z fields that are created for this date fields have reference character as Date
only one field is character so it is coming correct as given by the user
but rest all are appearing in different format . In ODS also the date is coming as 09/01/2011
now the user want all the data to be in the same format as given by HIM.
I cant even change the properties of these Z info object removing the reference info object 0Date and make them character string.
so now please suggest how to upload the date given by the user as it is without changing the format and also how to change the format for the back data as its flat file so No data can be deleted.
thankkkkkkkks

hello
Bex analyzer is an excel add-in. Date formats are based on your regional settings.
If you want to have a different date format in the sap gui then you have to change your user profile in sap system.
Flat file upload needs the date format in a database format (YYYYMMDD).
You can transform the date in the transformation step with rules or with a routine( abap coding).
Thank you

Loading decimal value to an infoobject of type char

I have an extract structure with field timestamp, which is of type dec and length 15. Now i want to load this value to an infoobject in ODS. But this infoobject is of type char and length 18. when infopackage loading is scheduled it is giving the following error. Record 1 :InfoObject /BIC/IFITMSTMP does not contain alpa-conforming value 20061206084944.
Is it because i tried to move a dec valu into a char field with a different length? If so how will i load a decimal value of length 15 to a char of length 18. Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

if u r using BI7.0
go to the datasource of the cube
in the general info tab of the datasource
there is a check box with PSA not typed
check it
if u check it all the values from the external source will be converted into character format irrespective of their data type

How to load master data with text into infoObject in BI 7.0

Hi all;
I have an infoobject 0employee ( this is for employee number ,8 character long), with medium text option.
I would like to load Employee name as a text option for employee number.
How do I load this mater data into this 0employee object,
Please help.
I did look for something similar in the forum and there are many of them, but I couldn't find anything that for BI 7.0 and really clear help for me. Sorry to ask a question that been asked before.
thanks.
Raiine

hi rainnie,
check this link t oload master data in BI 7
Re: BI 7.0 flat File extraction
as you are using SAP defined infoobject you can start from the creation of datasource.
text format for the flat file is
LANGUAGE,INFOOBJECT,TEXT
EN,0EMPLOYEE,RAINNIE
You have to create ,infopakage, transformation ,dtp for both the attribute and text.
hope this helps
cheers

Setting in Datasource (Format Column)

Hi,
I am a learner in BI.
How can i Change the format External to Internal in DataSource.
I was trying to load the data from Flat File to Infocube.
while activating DataSource i got an error.
ERROR: Field NAME ( Position 2 ): no conversion exit entered
Then i see the format is External and tried changing to Internal, but it is not changing.
I tried by changing the DataSource to edit mode and reactivated. After activation i have checked the DataSource, the format din't change. Again it shows external.
I am wondering is there anything to be done while creating InfoObject itself,
why the format is set to External by itself.
The InfoObject Data type is Char.
Regards,
CM

Hi Shiging,
When using datasource concept (7.0), you go into change mode and can change the settings.
When using emulated 3.x source, you can recognise via little square in front of description, you have to set these in the transfer rules.
SS convert routine is just an indication which conversion routine is assigned to the source field.
Convert routine is the conv. rout. assigned to the infoobject. When storing data, it will convert to internalm format, when displaying, convert to external.
Hope this helps.

The data type of InfoObject 0ORGUNIT is incompatible with field 0ORGUNIT

I am trying to create a DataSource in BW to load the organizational hierarchy from HR R/3 to BW. I get the message "The data type of InfoObject 0ORGUNIT is incompatible with field 0ORGUNIT,"
Our BW version is 3.5; the version of HR R/3 is SAP ECC 6.0.
I'm not sure what this message means but if I continue to click OK, I get transfer structures for the org attributes and hierarchies but not the text. The key to the text is 60 characters. Shouldn't the key be the org unit, which is in format NUMC 8?
I was able to create this DataSource last summer, when HR was in a different version (4.6?) with no issues. Does anybody have any idea what's wrong and what I can do about it?
Thanks!

Would be nice if you could share the resolution they found,
since that might help other people as well.
For instance, me.... as we face exactly the same problem at the moment !!

Date format in 01/0000 rather than 01/2011

Hi
could you plase assist if anyone gone through this issue earlier. We are developing the WebI reports based on Bex queries. The mandatory prompt is defined in Bex on Calender Year/ Month with variable "base period". Once the universe is defined based on Bex query and when tried to create the web I report the Lov's are displayed in impropr format "01/0000","02/0000" so on. We have other Bex queries with the prompt on calender year/month which are working fine in Web I reports.
Apart the prompt works fine in Bex Analyser for the query that has problem in WebI.
Please assist if there is any problem with the calender year/month infoobject.
Thanks in Advance!!

Date format in UDConnect

Hai,
I have a view in an oracle database whose data I am pulling into BW using UDConnect. I have a date field which I have done TO_CHAR into the format YYYYMMDD. I am doing it so that I can pull with a selection in infopackage saying for CURRENT MONTH.
But when I try to map this field with 0CALDAY, it shows that the data type is incompatible. Then I tried mapping the date field directly (without using TO_CHAR). It gets mapped to 0CALDAY, but it is failing in the selection in infopackage with the following error :
S:RSSDK:300 Query execution failed: ORA-01861: literal does no t match format string
Can you please suggest what I must do ?

Hi,
          Duble click on your datasource.
          Go to Fields tab.
           Find out your date field there.
          There is one colum infoobject template, give your infoobject 0calday there.
            Activate the datasource.
Thanks,
