Inventory - No Marker update is set for delta loading, any impact ?

Dear all,
Since several days the daily delta on inventory cube is done with flag "no marker update set".
What are the possible issue ?
Do we have to reload the data or can we just set the flag as unchecked ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards
Christophe

Hi,
Pl check below
Marker Update is used to reduce the time of fetching the non-cumulative key figures while reporting. It helps to easily get the values of previous stock quantities while reporting. The marker is a point in time which marks an opening stock balance. Data up to the marker is compressed.
The No Marker Update concept arises if the target InfoCube contains a non-cumulative key figure. For example, take the Material Movements InfoCube 0IC_C03 where stock quantity is a non-cumulative key figure. The process of loading the data into the cube involves in two steps:
1) In the first step, one should load the records pertaining to the opening stock balance/or the stock present at the time of implementation. At this time we will set marker to update (uncheck 'no marker update') so that the value of current stock quantity is stored in the marker. After that, when loading the historical movements (stock movements made previous to the time of implementing the cube) we must check marker update so that the marker should not be updated (because of these historical movements, only the stock balance / opening stock quantity has been updated; i.e. we have already loaded the present stock and the aggreagation of previous/historical data accumulates to the present data).
2) After every successful delta load, we should not check marker update (we should allow to update marker) so that the changes in the stock quantity should be updated in the marker value. The marker will be updated to those records which are compressed. The marker will not be updated to those uncompressed requests. Hence for every delta load request, the request should be compressed.
Check or uncheck the Marker Option:
Compress the request with stock marker => uncheck the marker update option.
Compress the loads without the stock maker => check the marker update option.
Relevant FAQs:
1) The marker isn't relevant when no data is transferred (e.g. during an delta init without data transfer).
2) The marker update is just like a check point (it will give the snapshot of the stock on a particular date when it is updated).

Hi Marco_Ben_IT,
Do not install SQL Server to the root directory of a mount point, setup fails when the root of a mounted volume is chosen for the data file directory, we must always specify
a subdirectory for all files. This has to do with how permissions are granted. If you must put files in the root of the mount point you must manually manage the ACLs/permissions. We need to create a subfolder under the root of the mount point, and install
there.

How to make JOB CONTROL setting for delta extraction in Production system .

Hello All,
We are in the process to transport our development to PD server in BI . We have transported the data sources to ECC production and now we are filling the setup table for " SD BILLING BW " . After filling Setup table data in full mode through infoPackage we have to load data in delta mode .
How we can set our Update mode(LBWE setting) in PD server ?
Is LBWE T.Code authorisation required in ECC PD server to make the setting of Update mode or We have to set all Job Control Paramater in Dev System at the time of transport the datasource request to ECC production . Is our time which is set in job control of ECC development will be reflected in ECC production ?
can any body tell me about how to make setting for delta extraction in Production system .
Thanks ...

Hi,
How do you load the data in the development system?
- you set up the update mode in the infopackage. There you must customize "Initialization"
- you have to filled the setup table in the production system without laoding the data in the BW? then this step was for nothing. Filling the setup table and do the INIT in the BW, this must be together - during no changing will be done in your R/3 SD.

ALE change Pointers for delta load

The master data datasource is 0CRM_BPSALESCL_ATTR, which is in my source system use change pointers for delta loading. When I use delta loading, the error is "ALE change pointers are not set up correctly". I went to the source system, and use BD61 to activate change pointers. But it does not work. Then I created new Business partners to make changes. I can find these new records in table CDHDR and CDPOS, but there is no records found in table BDCP. And my delta loading still got the error as "ALE change pointers are not set up correctly."
Can anybody give me advice?
Thanks,
Wenjie

Hi, Ron,
Thanks for your reply. I already assign points to you.
I relicated the datasource, and re-active the transfer structure, but it still doesn't work. My one more question is that do I run BD61 on BI system or on source system? I did on source system only. And is there any more setting need to be done on source system? Because my error message said setting on source system is wrong.
Thank you very much.

What is 'No marker update'? do opening balance have any relation with it?

what is 'No marker update'? do opening balance have any relation with it? i know that 'No marker update' will not update reference point that means it will not change the opening balance date to current data, is it right? please explain.

When you load historic non cummulatives you need to set the "No Marker Updating" indicator if initalization has already taken place otherwise your data will not match with the stock on R/3 side.

Can we use both 0FI_AP_3 and 0FI_AP_4 for Delta Loads at the same time.....

Hi Gurus:
Currently my company uses 0FI_AP_3 for some A/P reporting. It has been heavily customized & uses Delta loading. However, SAP recommends the use of "0FI_AP_4" for A/P data fro delta loads. I was able to Activate 0FI_AP_4 as well & do some Full Loads in Dev/Test boxes. Question is whether I can use both the extractors for "Delta" loads at the same time......? If there are any issue, what is the issue and how ccan I resolve it? Is the use of only one extractor recommended......??
Please let me know as this impacts a lot of my development....! Thanks....
Best...... ShruMaa
PS: I had posted this in "BI Extractors" forum but there has been no response...... Hope to get some response.......! Thanks

Hi,
I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
1. DS: 0FI_AP_4 replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Error in activating init flag for delta load

Hi everybody, I am trying to activate the init flag for delta load, when I schedule the infopak it is taking too long to execute and the status is remaining in yellow for a week. I checked in details tab the error message is u201C no data available in source system u201C Please helpu2026

Hi Vinod,
When there is no data available in the source system, you will have yellow flag for the delta init request. Check for the delta queue entry (RSA7) on the source system. Delta mechanism starts working once this flag is created. After that schedule the delta infopackage.
Also check on the source system whether there is any data avilable in the application tables related to this datasource. Take the help of functional consultants if required.

Question for delta loading, why can not update existing record in cube

Hi, Gurus,
I load data from a flat file into one infocube with delta loading option, and in the related datasource, i chose 'additive delta' option.
However after delta initial and delta update, when I checked cube content, I found that there are 2 records with the same characteristic value (just like duplicated key), and my expectation is to sum key figure with the same characteristic. Who can help me on that?
BTW: when I check delta queue, why there is not any queue?

Hi,
In uploading of flat file , If you are able to capture the changes to the previously loaded records, Then you can follow the additve delta. So it decreases the time of uploading .Only changed or new records will be uploaded every time.
If you are not able capture the changes in flat file ,Every time you have to do full upload ,Before this delete the contents of Infocube. (Assuming there is no ODS B/W Infocube and Flat file).
With rgds,

Selection Criteria for Delta loads triggered using MDM_CLNT_EXTR

Hi ,
Currently we are required to load data only from two specific account groups . Therefore in the selection criteria in mdm_clnt_extr we maintian these two account groups and extract data.
However, when setting up the delta load there does not to be an option to restrcit the delta to a specify an criteria. Therefore, in our case several records from account groups which are not required are passed on to the MDM system.
Is there a way to address this requirement ?
1. There is an option to run the initial load variants at regular intervals, the problem with this is that in our case we have several variant creates as the R/3 system does not allows extraction on more that 999 records at a time. Therefore at point of time to capture the delta records , if we run all these jobs our network gets choked.
2. Run delta job, but without selection criteria it pulls out records which we don't require
Any suggestions on how this problem can be addressed are welcome ,
Thanks in advance,
Anita George

Thanks Michael !
Well, regarding hte ALE settings, we did take a look in bd64 the filters are based on objects which one of these is relevant for customer account groups ? Probably in the future we would require all data, and then is it enogh to remove the filter ?
Can a filter be maintained at the XI level , this would be good as only the required account groups are passed on to MDM . Is there any documentation on available on this ?
Regarding the Import Manager, will have to check this functionality, as it is now no matter how many times we update the map/rename /load/unload it automated imports keep failing.
Our R/3 system seems to have problem extracting more than 999 records, as we tried with different number of records and all those extraction jobs got cancelled. So, currently we are running multiple jobs for the initial load and even this is very time consuming.
Thanks & Regards,
Anita George

Problems for Infopackage setting for Hierarchy Load

Hello Masters,
I have a problem, in editing the setting for Hierarchy Infopackage, I was asked to reset the Processing mode of infopackage directly into Infoobject, instead of PSA and then into Subsequent Data targets.
But here, i am unable to edit the setting because, every thing is gryed out. Only option selected before is "Only PSA, and then Update in subsequent Data Targets"
I have a question, like is it mandatory setting for Hierarchy Infopackage, to Update in PSA and then into Data Targets.
As i was able to edit settings for Attribute, and Text Infopackages even though these are in Process chains.
Could any one please help, if it is possible to edit Hierarchy Infopackage, instead of creating a new one.
Thank you
Regards
Raghu

Hi,
I have checked, the transfer rules, The Transfer Method used is PSA. I have to reset this infopackage directly to Infoobject, because this process chain runs for every four hrs, and it increases PSA size in tons.
Hence, i was asked to reset the setting for infopackage. But it is gryed out.
Thank you,
Regards
Raghu

Repair request for Delta load? Orders missing in Billing line Items

Hi
I am using BW 3.5; Some Orders are missing in BW for Billing line item reports (2LIS_13_VDITM) according to the users.
The report is based on Cube directly, ODS is not used. I planned to do a repair full request for this month's data so as to get the missing orders.
Could you please advice me on correct procedure to do that? Delta loads runs every day and todays delta is completed.
Thanks and BR
P.B

While it's usually recommended to execute setups during "quiet time", it's not required. Especially in this case. Since you're going to be restricting the setup to only extract a range of Billing Documents that are representative of the dates of data missing (or purely the identified missing documents), there is no need to wait for "quiet time" because you'll pick up the data either in your Full Repair extract or in the delta extract. Depending on how the target InfoProvider for this data is setup (cumulative v. non-cumulative), you may have to look out for duplicate data.
My recommendation would be to run your setup for only those documents that have been identified as missing. That way, you're limiting the amount of data that's required to be extracted to the setup table and then into BW, but also will remove any risk of duplicate data in your target InfoProviders.

Why when I update Adobe it won't load any higher than 25 or 30%?

Anytime I try to upload the new Adobe Flash Player Update, the installer won't download any further than 25% or 30% through.
And this annoys me a lot because now it is impossible for me to view any videos, and I think I may not have access to some certain web sites anymore because of that (e.g.: my school's portal).
This gets me very angry
I just want to get it fixed.
P.S.: I am a MacBook user, I do not know if that influences anything, but it may...
So please help!!!

Hello,
This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.
Thank you.
