Infopackage "Data Selection" Criteria

Hello,
This is a really simple question.
I want to break out an INIT infopackage from 1 big load to several smaller loads.
To do this I am going to create multiple INIT infopackages that have selections based upon Fiscal Year, and each infopackage will also include a selection for 0VTYPE of 010.
The result will be 4 infopackages that have the following selections for Fiscal year/0VTYPE
1. The beginning of time to 2001      010
2. 2002    010
3. 2003    010
4. 2004 to the end of time    010
When I create the infopackages under the 'data selection' tab I see "From Value" and "To Value"
For each infopackage what values should I enter, so that I get the 4 correct infopackages as described above ( I am most concerned about structuring #1 and #4 correctly)?
Thanks,
Nick

Hello Andres,
I am still testing but things seem to be working well.
What i did was setup an Delta INIT infopackage for Periods 007/2008 - 012/9999
Then I built Full (repair) loads for 6 period intervals beneath the INIT. For example:
001/2008 - 006/2008
007/2007 - 012/2007
001/2007 - 006/2007
It works nicely to break the load up from 1 gigantic to many smaller loads. I put all these packages together in a process chain.
I also found that the load was not slowing down becuase of it being a huge load, it was actually because of the Update rule processing.
I like the smaller loads in the process chain better then 1 huge load, it is easier to manage.
I have also addressed the update rule processing issue, so things (will be) operating much better going forward.
Thanks for the help!
Nick

Generic Data Source and InfoPackage Data Selection

Hello, I'm trying to extract data from a generic data source (composed of a view joining 4 tables) using the Data Selection Criteria in an infopackage. Sometimes the selection criteria is ignored and more data is pulled than expected. The number of selectable items in the generic data source has been reduced (in case this was an issue) and for a short time the infopackaged pulled the expected number of records. Then another change was made to the generic data source and the problem returned. In any case, the transported generic data source does not work in the target system either. I'm not sure what is causing this to happen. Any ideas??? BW 3.5.

Sue

Hi,
Some of the datasources will not have default Infopackages for them.You can create the infopackages according to the requirement.There is no big deal for creating Infopackages.You can go ahead creating them.

Complex Data Selection Criteria

Is it possible to do complex Data Selection Criteria invloving more than one InfoObject in Data Selection tab of the InfoPackage?
Eg :
(Controlling area = 'ABC' and Fiscal Period between 001/2005 & 003/2005)
OR
(Controlling area = 'AAA' and Fiscal Period between 004/2005 & 008/2005)
OR
(Controlling area = 'XYZ' and Fiscal Period between 003/2005 & 008/2005)
We are currently planning to use 3 different InfoPackages to do the same and checking if it can be done in 1 InfoPackage.
Thanks!

BAPI_IPAK_CHANGE is a good option, but will not give you the flexibility you are looking for as it will change the selection criteria, but will not give you the AND, OR (complex selection)option, that you are looking for. What you will end up havig to do if you follow this route is to call the same selection package 3 times with modified selection criteria for each using BAPI_IPAK_CHANGE, or have to use BAPI_IPAK_CREATE to create the infopack with these selection for every load. This will eliminate all or any delta loading hopes that you may have.
I feel that infopackage group will work nicely for you and with minimal effort of maintenance in the future.

Infopackage Data Selection Problem

Hi All,
When i load master data from source system, in Infopackage data selection tab i give some criteria (e.g Customer number = 1000) But in infopackage the data load with all customer.(Not only 1000)
How can i solve this problem??

Hello Ozan,
Please check the datasource in RSA3 and make sure that its working for the same selection.
Is there any routine in your infopackage and what is your source system?

How to debug a ABAP Routine which is in Infopackage Data selection Tab

Hi ,
Please let me know How to debug a ABAP Routine which is in Infopackage Data selection Tab.

Hi,
You can try to create infinite loop:
DATA: STOP.
WHILE STOP IS INITIAL. ENDWHILE.
Start InfoPackage and then go to SM50 and swich on debugging for your process. Then in debugger you can change value of STOP variable to skip the loop.

Routine in Infopackage Data selection Tab

HI,
I am having one InfoObject (marital staus) in InfoPackage Data selection Tab.
Now I want to write a ABAP routine for that infoObject in Infopackage to select only those records of marital status = SINGLE.
    I am new to ABAP . please let me know what code should I write in this routine.

Hi Kris,
You would do it like this:
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = 'MARITAL_STATUS'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
          move: 'I'      to l_t_range-sign,
                'EQ'     to l_t_range-option,
                'SINGLE' to l_t_range-low.
          modify l_t_range index l_idx.
Thanks,

Filed not reflecting in infopackage data selection screen

Hello Gurus,
I have added a time stamp fiield in generic datasource in R3 and selected that field,but when i replicate the data source in BI and go to infopackage data selection screen,i dont see that field.I tried all the possible things but its not working.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hi,
Did you select that Time stamp field as Selection field in RSA6? If not then select it as selection field and activate and then replicate the DS in BW and then check if that comes in Infopackage level.
Hope this helps..

InfoPackage Data Selection disappear when INIT

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone faced this issue before and/or has a solution.
I have an infopackage that is loading from an ODS to an InfoCube. The ODS has close to 20 million records.
When I do a FULL UPDATE, i am able to use the Data Selection tabe to only filter certain criteria to be pulled over to my Cube.
However, when i try to select and do an INIT, all the fields in my DataSelection tab disappears. and i am forced to load all 20 million records from the ODS.
Appreciate any input or feedback.
Regards,
Gary.

oh i see...
i thought otherwise as in the F1 for the init without data transfer, this is what is mentioned...
"If the delta process has not yet been initialized, but you want to test the delta upload, you have the option of simulating the initialization.
This runs the help entries in all the required tables in BW and in the source system, without loading any data from the source system.
In the monitor, you get a message telling you that a record has been loaded. The initialization-simulation request appears in all the data targets in which an update has taken place. However, this request contains only help entries. The simulation does not update any data in the data targets.
Dependencies
After you have tested the delta upload in this way, initialize the delta process"

NOT EQUAL in the InfoPackage Data Selection

Hello,
I need to build a NE, NOT EQUAL <> in an InfoPackage
I need to exclude some DataSets from beeing loaded.
The DataSets to be excluded can be distinguished by a
certain value of a an InfoObject.
For example:
All DataSets with 0COMPANY_CODE NOT EQUAL "0001" should not
be loaded.
How can I set in the InfoPackage DataSelection a filter
to exclude some DataSets ?
Thank You

Hello Chitrarth Kastwar ,
basically it would be a trivial task in SQL ....to code :

SELECT *
FROM
WHERE 0COMP_CODE not in '0001'

or

SELECT *
FROM
WHERE 0COMP_CODE = '0030'
OR 0COMP_CODE = '0040'
OR 0COMP_CODE = '0050'

.. but thats BW - It generates much turnaround for consultants :).

Because I have to exclude 1 value out of 5 I can also include 5 values in the
selection criteria connected with OR
This means I have to use an OR only.
Is it possible with l_t_range to state this and how ?

A/r Invoice report query based on posting date selection criteria

Hi experts,
I am trying to write a query to get the A/r invoice report including Docnum, Docdate, cardname, project, linetotal, taxcode, taxtotal.
and i tried the below query
SELECT T0.[DocNum], T0.[DocDate], T0.[CardCode], T0.[CardName],T1.[LineTotal] FROM OINV T0 INNER JOIN INV1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry WHERE T0.[DocDate] >=[%0] AND T0.[DocDate] <=[%1]
In this query ,
1) i am unable to sum up the linetotal( total before tax)
2) also unable to fetch the sum of taxamount.
3) its more important , the above query will me docnum , when i try to open that doc, it opens the 2007 docments. whereas the other details are correct like docdate, amount and all.
example: from date: 1/04/2011 to date: 28/07/2011
Docnum Docdate cardname linetotal.... etc
 2 1/04/11 XYZ 5000
when i click the 2 (docnum) it opens me the 04/04/2007 documents.
how to limit the doc within the periods given?
thanks in advance
Dwarak

Hi Rahul/Gordon,
thanks for your query's .
additionally, i want this query without the A/r invoices whichever having credit memo as target doc.
and
i have selection criteria as T0.[U_Sec_Category] = '[%2]' and this has 3 values like 1)CIM 2)BIN 3)DMP
among these CIM should be seen only only user1 and BIN & DMP only by user2.
can u plz get me this
thanks,

ABAP Routine in the Infopackage data selection

All,
I have requirement where i need to write a routine on a Date field(Activity Year Month) which has to return values from the first to the last day of the Previous month in the data selection of the infopackage.
I know that on Date there is a STD that can be used but my requirement is on Year Month.
there are 3 vartypes available
5. free temporal selection
6. ABAP routine
7. OLAP variable
when i pick ABAP routine it asks me to create a routine i need some help with the code here
Can someone help.
Thanks

Hi there
If the Data field is 0FISCPER you can use the OLAP variable 0P_PRFP1. If you have developed the field yourself i think you need to write code. The code could look something like this.
DATA: sysdat TYPE d.
sysdat = sy-datum.
sysdat4(2) = sysdat4(2) - 1.
IF sysdat+4(2) = '0'.
sysdat+4(2) = '12'.
sysdat(4) = sysdat(4) - 1.
ENDIF.
CONCATENATE sysdat(4) '0' sysdat+4(2) INTO l_t_range-low.
MODIFY l_t_range INDEX l_idx.
p_subrc = 0.
This code returns the previous months as a single value.

Routine in Infopackage data selection doesnt give appropriate results...

Hi Gurus,
I need to pull data into PSA (BW 3.5) based on a certain selections in the Infopackage. Selection is based on specific values of Infoobject 0PLANT , however, as these values are multiple and do not fall in a specific range I have written a routine to derive these values.
The routine does the following steps :
- creates an internal table from /bio/mplant and deletes the plant values that I do not wish to consider in the extraction.
- delete data from l_t_range for fieldname = 'PLANT'
- Appends data from the internal table to l_t_range.
However, when I execute the infopackage, the extraction is done for ALL the 0PLANT values i.e it includes the data for 0PLANT value which have been delete from the internal table.
My routine is :
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line   -
    InfoObject      = 0PLANT
    Fieldname       = PLANT
    data type       = CHAR
    length          = 000004
    convexit        =
form compute_PLANT
tables   l_t_range      structure rssdlrange
using    p_infopackage type rslogdpid
           p_fieldname    type rsfnm
changing p_subrc        like sy-subrc.
      Insert source code to current selection field
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
TYPES ls_range like l_t_range.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
DATA: lt_plant like /bi0/mplant OCCURS 0 with header line.
          SELECT PLANT from /bi0/mplant into lt_Plant WHERE objvers = 'A
          ENDSELECT.
          delete lt_plant WHERE plant = 'W206'.
          delete lt_plant WHERE plant = 'WF11'.
          delete lt_plant WHERE plant = 'W945'.
          DELETE lt_plant WHERE plant = 'W530'.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = 'PLANT'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
          DELETE l_t_range where fieldname = 'PLANT'.
          Loop at lt_plant.
                l_t_range-sign = 'I' .
                l_t_range-low = lt_plant-plant.
                l_t_range-OPTION = 'EQ'.
                append l_t_range.
          endloop.
          modify l_t_range index l_idx.
          p_subrc = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line         -
endform.
Any bugs in the routines ?

try this one:
Loop at lt_plant.
if lt_plant-plant ne 'WF11' or lt_plant-plant ne 'W945' or lt_plant-plant ne 'W530'.
l_t_range-sign = 'I' .
l_t_range-low = lt_plant-plant.
l_t_range-OPTION = 'EQ'.
append l_t_range.
endif.
endloop.
or
don't use a table with header ( use a standard table and use a work area to access the table ) and do an other select like this:
SELECT PLANT from /bi0/mplant
into corresponding fields of table lt_Plant
WHERE objvers = 'A
and plant ne 'WF11'
and plant ne 'W945'
and plant ne 'W530'.
I hope it helps...
Kind regard.

InfoPackage Data Selection ignored

Hi
I have a weird issue that I hope someone can advise me on. I have created an identical generic datasource based on table USR02 in our CRM, R/3 and BW systems. Then in BW I have 3 InfoPackages (one for each datasource) with identical data selections. For the InfoPackages using the CRM and R/3 datasources I get exactly the records I expect but for the BW InfoPackage I get all records irrespective of the data selections!?
Why are the data selections ignored for the InfoPackage using the BW source system - any ideas?
Thanks
Gareth

To All
Finally found the problem. Basically the datasource in BW had the 'Field only known in customer exit' checkbox checked for the TRDAT field. I hadn't set this - the system did and would not allow be to change it. However I found SAP note 895801DataSource fields are interpreted as customer fields which seemed to suggest that this was the real problem.
I applied the note and re-created the datasource and it now work as expected.

Gareth

Infopackage data selection & deltas

Hi BW Experts,
I have a few questions about infopackage and delta loads:
1) How to perform mulitiple data selection. e.g. company codes 1000, 1001 and 5000? I can't filter by From To data selection since I do not want to include companies 2000, 3000, etc.
2) How to perfrom delta loads for just the company codes 1000, 1001, etc.?
I would appreciate any suggestions or advice.
l_sap

Hi ,
First of all, what is the delta identifier you have for loading the deltas for 1000, 1001, etc.
For your requirement, create 2 InfoPackages,
1. For FULL loads - Here as advised by others do duplicate rows and maintain the company codes for which you want to do FULL load.
Note: Daily full loads and you can delete the overlapping requests if your target is InfoCube.
2. For DELTA loads - here maintain 1000, 1001, etc and start Init and following deltas.

Can't find 0FYTLFP OLAP Variable in InfoPackage Data Selection tab on 3.5

On BW 3.5, when generating an InfoPackage with the datasource as Purchasing Data(80PUR_C01), under Data Selection tab, for the InfoObject 0FISCPER, I selected 7 (OLAP variables)for the Type column, then click the button next to it and under the column of Details for Type to bring up a window, but when expending the OLAP Variable field list, can't find the following value in the list which shows up on BW 3.1:
0FYTLFP     0FISCPER Cumulated to Last Fiscal Year/Period (SAP Exit)
How to make the above value show up in the OLAP Variable list?   I thought maybe the variable 0FYTLFP needs to be installed in Business Contents, but there is no variable object type in Business Content. It sounds like a SAP Exit, but how to make the SAP Exit value show up on BW 3.5?
Thanks for everyone's input!

hey Rohit,
Besides the three variable values in the list on BW 3.5, now I find a new one in the list, called "0E_ROLE     0SR_ROLE     Role (SAP Exit)", I have no idea why this one shows up now. Now all the four variables in the list are:
1. 0CML12LM     0CALMONTH     Last 12 Months Excluding the Current Month
2. 0CMONTH     0CALMONTH     Current Calendar Month
3. 0E_ROLE     0SR_ROLE     Role (SAP Exit)
4. 0S_RQMRC     0REQUID     Most Current Data
0FYTLFP is still not in the list!   We can't try to create BEx query since our BW 3.5 system is just installed and we have not got to the step to ceate a query. I try the 2nd way you suggested by pressing F6 on this variable with the typed in value 0FYTLFP, get the following msg "BEx variable 0FYTLFP could not be evaluated - No error message", that means it would not work on BEx query as well, right?
What could be the reason that we can't see 0FYTLFP variable in our new installed BW 3.5? Do you think our BASIS missed installing sth?
Thanks
