Infostructure update routine : debug problem

Hi All,
We have created three update routines for three corresponding infostructures. But I am not able to debug this routine. I tried to put a hard breakpoint also, but it was of no use. The Infostructure logs the changes in the sales order.
How can I get the list of objects that are accessible in these routines?
How can I view the values of MCVBAP and MCVBAK(communication structures) that are used in the update routines?
How can I debug such routines?
From where does these structures, MCVBAK and MCVBAP, get value? Are these runtime values? How much time does it take normally take for the infostructure to be updated? or is it updated immediately when the sales Order is saved?
Thanks,
Jiten

Hello,
some hopefully helpful answers:
- the MCVBAK / MCVBAP are structures, that are built from the orderdata in the function MCV_STATISTICS_ORDER. There are two exits EXIT_SAPLMCS1_001 (header Data) and EXIT_SAPLMCS1_002 (position data) where you could fill additional user fields in these structures. Additional fields you could define in the structures MCVBAKUSR or MCVABPUSR.
- the time that it takes to get an infostructure updates depends on it's customizing of updating (transaction OM01). the possibilities are: no update, update in V1-posting, update in V2-posting, update in batch.
- Helpful are folling transactions: MC30 ( shows the update logs, you have to set the parameter MCL = 'X' in your userdate, see OSS - Note 77427) , MCVR (simulation of update).

Update Routine ABAP question

Hi,
I am updating data between two ODS objects using some update routines. I would like to write the following routine (in pseudo code):
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Check if the characteristic i am updating is not null
IF COMM_STRUCTURE-field1 = 'value1' AND
COMM_STRUCTURE-field2 = 'value2'.
RESULT COMM_STRUCTURE-field3.
ELSE.
Don't update anything
END IF
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My questions:
1. How i tell the routine not to update anything (as specified in the pseudo code)?
2. How i can check that the characteristic i woul like to update is not null?
3. What is the preferred debug method in case i do not use the PSA?
BR,
Xibi

Thanks Siggi for your prompt and helpful answer. There are however some fundamental things which are not fully clear to me (BTW, where i can find some good documentation on ABAP for BW??):
> Hi,

I wrote the following:
returncode = 1.
Consequently the updated failed. Maybe i am doing something wrong but my intention is not to have the whole thing fail, but rather skip the update for some records.
> 2. How i can check that the characteristic i woul

The problem is that the characteristic i am trying to update is not contained in the source ODS but only in the target one. Will "if not comm_structure-<fieldname> is initial" still work in this case?

Update routine - Performance Tuning

Hi,
To increase the performance, I have deleted some records in the data_package but these changes are not reflecting in the ALV output. We are getting old data only.
If we toutch the standard ALV program it is a problem for other update routinies. Please tell me the solution.
Thanks,
Suresh Kashimalla

Please be more specific, and elaborate on your issue. What are you referring to with ALV (ABAP List Viewer?). In which respect? Are you on SAP NetWeaver 2004s?

Update routine for 0proc_unit conversion

Hi all,
My infoobject 0OPR_ACTWRK uses 0PROC_UNIT for units. It holds data in days and in hours. When I load it to a cube, I want to convert all values to working hours.
I figured out that I have to use an update routine in my update rules. A lot of forum threads about unit conversion mention the function module UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE. Can I use this function for my problem? Or should I use a different function module?
This will be my first ABAP code, so can anyone help me and tell me what I have to fill in exactle in the routine format below?
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
fill the internal table "MONITOR", to make monitor entries
result value of the routine
RESULT = .
result value of the unit
UNIT = .
if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
RETURNCODE = 0.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line         -
Thanks in advance!
Regards, Pieter

Dear Pieter,
I am not infront of the system..
the following surely will give error.. :).. so post back here.. so that me or someone else will reply you..
So let us start witht he following coding in the 'Start routine'.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
IF DATA_PACKAGE-UNIT= 'DAY'.
   DATA_PACKAGE-opr_pldwrk = DATA_PACKAGE-opr_pldwrk * 8.
ELSE.
Do nothing.
ENDIF.
MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.

No RETURNCODE 0 allowed in update routines in transfer mode

Hi,
After Applying a RETURNCODE = 4 to one characteristic in my update routine i get the following message:
No RETURNCODE <> 0 allowed in update routines in transfer mode
Message no. RSAU492
It seems that i doesn't allow me to modify a certain characteristic in my target ODS.
Any suggestions?
BR,
Xibi

Hi,
could it be this problem (as described in an OSS note) ?
"Symptom
Various errors occur when you load reporting point data from CRM with the DataSource 0CRM_UT_POD_ATTR and update the data in BW:
1. Insufficient data is delivered, and all fields are empty except for the external reporting point name (EXT_UI_BW).
2. The restriction according to the external reporting point name (EXT_UI_BW) in the BW scheduler has no effect.
3. The update in BW to the InfoObject 0UCCRMPOD terminates with the error message RSAU-492 (Return code <> 0 is invalid in overwrite MODE in update routines).
Other terms
Sales, commercial and industrial customers, IS-U-CRM integration, IS-U, quotation controlling, quotation planning
Reason and Prerequisites
There is an error in the extractor. In addition, the selection according to EXT_UI_BW cannot be supported in the InfoPackage for technical reasons. The case was not caught when the texts for 0UCCRMPOD were updated because the texts for 0UC_POD (IS-U reporting point) had not yet been loaded from IS-U.
Solution
The error is eliminated in CRM 4.0 Support Package 05 and BI Content Add-On 3.20 Support Package 11 or BI Content Add-on 3.30 Support Package 04 or BI Content Add-On 3.51 Support Package 01.
Correction instructions for the CRM section are attached."

How to put break point in the update routine

I am trying to create a break point in update routine. I can do that in the start routine but I would like to know how I can include a break point in update routine in Q.
Thanks

Go to Monitor Screen of the data load -> Details tab -> data processing -> right click on Data Packets -> select simulation -> select update rules and give no.of records you want to debug and then system will display the code where you can debug by giving break points.
Hope it helps..

Routine Debugging

Hi all,
Would be grateful to you if you could guide me about the basics to write and debug update routine/start routine.
Thanks in advance.
Arun

Hi
Follow the below steps.
1) Write "Break-Point" in your start routine and field routine where you want to trace the code.
2) Activate it and load the data via PSA.
3) After the load is done, goto monitor screen ---> Details tab ---> Processing
4) Right-click and select "Simulate Update"
5) Select the data package and press enter.
6) Press F7 twice. It will take you to the Break-Point stmt in the Start routine.
7) From there you can continue the debugging.
Open the transformation where you have written the start routine and from there, go to the menu option Extras -> Display Generated Program. It will contain the start routine you have written. Place a break point there in the code and come to the DTP Execute tab.
Here you can debug the custom --
Select Processing mode as "Serially in the dialog process (for debugging) and then click on execute button. You will now be able to debug the code you have written.

Canu2019t u201Ccommentu201D lines in Update Routine although in Change mode

Hi,
There is an update rule between a datasource (2LIS_02_SCL) and ODS1 that I need to modify. When I double click on it, instead of seeing the old update rule that I am used to, showing the list of the fields I get some graphics with the links between fields in one group to the other.
The u201CRule groupu201D is set to u201CStandard Groupu201D.
I double click on the link between the fields of interest and changed u201CRule Typeu201D to u201CRoutineu201D and changed it to the change mode for changes.
I have an INCLUDE program from another project which performs the same tasks that I am trying to implement.
At a location where it states u201Cu2026insert your code here u2026u201D, I am able to bring in the lines from the other routine which does the desired job.
1.
The problem at this moment is that I canu2019t get COMMENT on all the previous codes which were in there. I tried deleting, and that also fails. As a result, I am getting errors.
Any help on this?
2.
Is that the right place to modify the routine?
3.
What is the difference between between between this approach of modifying update routines compare to the old one?
Thanks

Hi,
thanks so far:
I did exactly what you described. When I got to where to insert my code, I see that the system by default has METHODS, with declaration etc.
I want to ignore all those and simple insert the following. Donu2019t I need to comment on all the existing information that I do not need:
e.g. when I inserted the code below, and performed a u201Cchecku2019, it failed at a line (TYPE RSODSOCHECKONLY READ-ONLY,) which existed originally in the default code which read. I though I should be able to comment those out, but the system is not allowing me:

Look up at master data in update routine

Hi all,
I am loading from flat file in to an infocube. My transaction data comes in the format Subcategory, Area,Date, Sales qty,UOM. But my infocube should be filled with Category,Subcategory,Region,Area,Date,SalesQty,UOM. My business requirements want me to model Category, Subcategory,Region area as characteristics of dimension. ie I cannot model Category as navigational attribute of Subcategory and Region as navigational attribute of Area.
But I can get the master data file for Subcategory in Sucategory, Category format and Area in Area, Region format. So when I load the transaction data I can make a table lookup on these master data table and fill the required fields.
But the problem is I donot have much experince in ABAP routines.
Can any one help me with a sample start/update routine on how to do this.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Amith

Amith,
Actually, you may everything do in a start routine of the URs (including lookup itself).
There is no need to declare internal table in a global part of routine and then read values in routines.
The code may look the following. (Don't have the system on hand. So, some syntax may require some modification.)
TABLES: <Your Master Data Table>.
DATA: wa_temp TYPE DATA_PACKAGE_STRUCTURE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
 wa_md TYPE <Your Master Data Table> OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM <Your Master Data Table> INTO wa_md.
SORT wa_md ASCENDING BY <Basic Char Key>.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE INTO wa_temp.
 READ TABLE wa_md WITH KEY <Basic Char Key> = wa_temp-<Basic Char Key>.
 wa_temp-<YourLookupIO> = wa_md-<YourLookupAttribute>.
 MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE FROM wa_temp.
ENDLOOP.
Best regards,
Eugene

Software update Digital signiture problem

I just purchased a brand new powermac G5 Quad 2.5ghz. after initial setup software update ran, and after it checked and found updates I recieved this error message:
"The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”."
I have never seen this before, and cannot seem to fix it. I have searched these forums and tried deleting all the softwareupdate.plist files and restarting. Does anyone have a solution for this? I have a 15inch powerbook and I've never had an error doing a software update.
Thanks for the help.

The mechanism of Software Update forms from the registration procedures upon entering license section and admin authentication received securely to install Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.4.x. Some identifiable information such as computer ID, the unique MAC address, a node information and the registered information are transmitted to an Apple server with the digital signature.
I believe this server differs from the dot mac server with the reception system that includes time zone. Presumably, grabbed your information from the dot mac for the registration results in a logic-assertion failure (perhaps unrecoverable) with the error message-- lost or corrupted the consistency of the client information as well as the packages stored in the directory. Software Update routines may no longer be able to handshake with the server. Because, Software Update server audits localizations used the license, validating some XML document, parsing a distribution script for each scheduled software to be updated.
The fundamental is a rock-solid Mac OS X Tiger multi-layed security architecture.
I cannot say for sure if the following troubleshooting can fix the problem. If you like, try removing the folder and files onto the desktop's temporary folders. Restart the computer to test the recurrence.
/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
/Users/HOME/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
/Users/HOME/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxxxxxxxxxxx.pl ist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Users/HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
You may want to test if this BSD command works with Terminal.
softwareupdate -l
or
softwareupdate --list
If suggestions do not work, I would do everything from scratch. Note that some invisible filesystem on the HFS Plus File System can be erased with a zeroing option.

Diff between Start ,transfer,update routines

hi
Plz tell me what is the difference between Start routine,transfer routine and update routine. Send me some real time examples.I would be very glad.
Regards
Ajay

Hi!
it is simple all of them are small program used in ETL process while loading in to BW.
Start routine:- is used in Transfer rules and update rules, this abap code is executed before starting the load and used in scenarios where we want to perform some operations on all the data example deleting some records before processing records in Update rules or transfer rules.
Update routine:- abap code used in update rules to transform or finding some field. ex:- may be you want to retrieve the field data from some data base tables based on the other data present in the infosource
Transfer Routine:- similar to the update routine but used in transfer rules.

Update Routine & Start Routine in BI 7.0

Hi Experts,
We have recently upgraded from BI 7.0 , I am confused about where to write start routine & update routine in transformations of BI 7.0?
Please mention any pointers?
Thanks.
Sharat.

Hi
When you open the start routine you will see a routines info which gives you help on this.
A summary would be:
Update routine in transformation.
RESULT = source_field-material.
Basically you can acess the value of the record by using source_field.
Start routine.
The data comes in the form of an internal table with name SOURCE_PACKAGE.
You can access the values by looping into a work area.
LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE assigning <source_fields>.
ENDLOOP.
End routine(This is a new feature in BI 7.0 where you can modify data when transformations are complete and before data is updated to info-providers)
The data comes in the form of an internal table with name RESULT_PACKAGE.
You can access the values by looping into a work area.
LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE assigning <result_fields>.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this helps you to understand the basics of the abap used in the transformations .
