Is it possible to update master data attributes from an ODS?

HELLO ALL,
we have records coming into our ods like the following:
costcenter1, subcostcentera, subcostcenterb, manager responsible, costs (kf).
This is a custom flat file load from a legacy system.
We would like to just create an update rule from the ODS to the cost center mater data characteristic attributes.
Is this possible?
thank you

Yes its possible to update the master data attributes from an ODS.
Define your master data characteristics as a infoprovider.
Create a update rule on Characteristic with ODS as a source and do general mapping.
For step by step, pls refer..

Update Master Data Attributes yellow in DTP

Hi All,
After loading the master data DTP, the request becomes greeen but the "Update Master Data Attributes" step is still yellow. Let me know how to overocome this error
Thanks,
Sathya

Hi,
This is a master data full load and it updates more than 1 lakh records. Technically the Overall and technical status of my DTP request becomes Green but when i go to the details tab and drill down the data package the "Update Master Data Attributes" still remains yellow so i dont think my load will update the attributes for my info object successfully.
Is there a solution to overcome or did anyone face this similar issue?
Thanks

How to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details

how to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details screenshots

Hi
Go through the below process to extract Master Data Attribute from R/3
Hi,
Maintaining Generic DataSources
Use
Regardless of the application, you can create and maintain generic DataSources for transaction data, master data attributes or texts from any transparent table, database view or SAP Query InfoSet, or using a function module. This allows you to extract data generically.
Procedure
Creating Generic DataSources
1. Select the DataSource type and specify a technical name.
2. Choose Create.
The screen for creating a generic DataSource appears.
3. Choose the application component to which you want to assign the DataSource.
4. Enter the descriptive texts. You can choose any text.
5. Select the datasets from which you want to fill the generic DataSource.
a. Choose Extraction from View if you want to extract data from a transparent table or a database view. Enter the name of the table or the database view.
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the database view or transparent table.
For more information about creating and maintaining database views and tables, see the ABAP Dictionary Documentation.
b. Choose Extraction from Query if you want to use a SAP Query InfoSet as the data source. Select the required InfoSet from the InfoSet catalog.
Notes on Extraction Using SAP Query
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the InfoSet.
For more information about maintaining the InfoSet, see the System Administration documentation.
c. Choose Extraction Using FM if you want to extract data using a function module. Enter the function module and extraction structure.
The data must be transferred by the function module in an interface table E_T_DATA.
Interface Description and Extraction Process
For information about the function library, see the ABAP Workbench: Tools documentation.
d. With texts you also have the option of extracting from fixed values for domains.
6. Maintain the settings for delta transfer, as required.
7. Choose Save.
When performing extraction, note SAP Query: Assigning to a User Group.
Note when extracting from a transparent table or view:
If the extraction structure contains a key figure field that references a unit of measure or a currency unit field, this unit field has to be included in the same extraction structure as the key figure field.
A screen appears on which you can edit the fields of the extraction structure.
8. Edit the DataSource:
○ Selection
When you schedule a data request in the BI scheduler, you can enter the selection criteria for the data transfer. For example, you can determine that data requests are only to apply to data from the previous month.
If you set the Selection indicator for a field within the extraction structure, the data for this field is transferred in correspondence with the selection criteria in the scheduler.
○ Hide field
You set this indicator to exclude an extraction structure field from the data transfer. The field is no longer available in BI when you set the transfer rules or generate the transfer structure.
○ Inversion
Reverse postings are possible for customer-defined key figures. Therefore inversion is only active for certain transaction data DataSources. These include DataSources that have a field that is marked as an inversion field, for example, the update mode field in DataSource 0FI_AP_3. If this field has a value, the data records are interpreted as reverse records in BI.
If you want to carry out a reverse posting for a customer-defined field (key figure), set the Inversion indicator. The value of the key figure is transferred to BI in inverted form (multiplied by 1).
○ Field only known in exit
You can enhance data by extending the extraction structure for a DataSource by adding fields in append structures.
The Field Only Known in Exit indicator is set for the fields of an append structure; by default these fields are not passed to the extractor from the field list and selection table.
Deselect the Field Only Known in Exit indicator to enable the Service API to pass on the append structure field to the extractor together with the fields of the delivered extract structures in the field list and in the selection table.
9. Choose DataSource ® Generate.
The DataSource is saved in the source system.
Maintaining Generic DataSources
● Change DataSource
To change a generic DataSource, in the initial screen of DataSource maintenance, enter the name of the DataSource and choose Change.
You can change the assignment of a DataSource to an application component or change the texts of a DataSource. Double-click on the name of the table, view, InfoSet or extraction structure to get to the appropriate maintenance screen. Here you make the changes to add new fields. You can also completely swap transparent tables and database views, though this is not possible with InfoSets. Return to DataSource maintenance and choose Create. The screen for editing a DataSource appears. To save the DataSource in the SAP source system, choose DataSource ® Generate.
If you want to test extraction in the source system independently of a BI system, choose DataSource ® Test Extraction.
● Delta DataSource
On the Change Generic DataSource screen, you can delete any DataSources that are no longer relevant. If you are extracting data from an InfoSet, delete the corresponding query. If you want to delete a DataSource, make sure it is not connected to a BI system.

Updating Master data attributes through BPS

Hi All,
Can we modify master data attributes via BPS? Like we have some Attribute characteristics for 'vendor' say 'class(good/bad/ok)' and we want that to be updated via BPS (not from R/3) then how it can be achived?
Please help by explaining this.

Hi,
Create two variables one for vendor and other for status (variable of type attribute), give both the variables in the folder. User will select the vendor and the attribute status value in selections. Create an exit planning function to update the attribute.
Import parameters
i_area type upc_y_area
i_variable type upc_y_variable
i_chanm type upc_y_chanm
Export parameters
eto_charsel type upc_yto_charsel
tables
i_t_attributes structure rsd_s_iobjnm optional
i_t_data structure rsndi_s_chavl optional
In the code, Read the above two variable values selected by user. Then delete the existing entry of MD by calling the function RSNDI_MD_DELETE.
Now update the master data with the new attribute value selected by the user in the variable by calling the function
RSNDI_MD_ATTRIBUTES_UPDATE. After this activate the master data by calling RSDMD_MD_ACTIVATE.
Hope this solves the issue.

Loadin Master data Attribute from ODS

Hi experts,
I have a Master data as Infoprovider:
CASE with attributes at1 and at2.
I loading master data.
Another infoArea, I have and ODS ( case, field1, field2) that is loading with DELTA.
After loading the delta, I want to update the AT2 from CASE master data.
Which is the best option to loading an attribute from ODS? FULL? DELTA? What happend if the duplicate key error appears??
I believe that with a DELTA Update from ODS to CASE will not be an error.
thanks a lot!

Hi,
I dont think so there sould be problem in further update from ODS to Attribute.
It would be better to keep the Delta in Further update.

Can routine replace "master data attribute of" update rule for performance?

Hi all,
We are working on CRM-BW data modeling, We have to look up agent master data for agent level and position for each transaction data. So now we are using "Master data attribute of" update rule. Can we use routine instead of "Master data Attribute of" ? Will it improve the loading performance? Since we have to load 1 lack transaction records , where as we have 20,000 agent details in agent master data.My understanding is, for each record in data package the system has to go to master data table and bring the agent details & store in cubes. Say one agent created 10 transactions, then this option "master data attribute of" will read the agent master data 10 times even though we are going to pull same details for all 10 transactions from master data. if we use routine, we can pull the agent details& storing in internal table removing all duplicates and in update routine we can read the internal table.
Will this way improve performance?
let me know if you need further info?
Thanks in advance.
Arun Thangaraj

Hi,
your thinking is absolutely right!
I don't recommend to use the standard attribute derivation since it will perform a SELECT to the database for EACH record.
Better implement a sorted table in your start routine; fill it with SELECT <fields> FROM <master_data_table> FOR ALL ENTRIES OF datapak WHERE OBJVERS = 'A' etc...
In your routine perform a READ itab ... BINARY SEARCH.... I believe that you won't be able to go faster...
hope this helps...

How to use Master Data Attribute of in Update Rule's Formula

Hi experts.
In update rule, there is an option to use Master Data Attribute of. However, due to user requirement, I need to use that in Formula instead.
Field to update:
Profit Center
Logic:
If Cost Center is empty
Then Profit Center
Else
Master Data Attribute of Cost Center
I use the following formula at the moment but it is not 100% correct.
IF( Cost Center = '', Profit Center, Cost Center )
Appreciate if anyone could help me out.
Thanks!

Hi,
The easier thing to do will be to use a Update Routine.
Logic will be as follows :-
If Cost center iss initial.
Result = Profit Center
else.
result = Cost center.
endif.

Cant fully load updated data to Master data attribute

Hi BW expert,
I meet an issue here, I am not able to load updated data to master data attribute. My loading selection is based on employee number range.
e.g employee number 00001 to 10000
However the data is successfully loaded to master data but lot of the attribute data are not updated. e.g 056, 057, 098, 0100.
I checked in PSA, there is no data updated for the attribute.
I checked in RSA3 in R/3, there are attribute data extracted.
Please advice, why attribute data is not updated when I load it in a range number. The attribute only work when I load one employee number.
Thanks.

Wesley Koo

Using "Master Data Attribute of" in the Update Rule

Hi,
In my update rule of, i want to replace the master data attribute of my characteristic instead of using its source characteristic. For example. InfoObject ZSTORECODE has an attribute ZSTORENAME. My objective is to use the Store Name instead of a Store Code.
I initially thought of using "Master Data Attribute of" in the update rules. However, I always end of with having an error of "No Values."

Hope you guys can help me with this!

Force read/refresh of master data attributes on query

Hi there,
We're having troubles with one input ready query that changes and attribute value (KYF) of one characteristic. That works fines and whe can save changed data on the infoprovider via DTP. Problem is when data is saved we need to refresh query as whe have both values on screen (original value as char attribute on rows) new value as input ready KYF, so after save we would like to see that both values are the same.
Is there any way of force query no to read from caché as whe are changing master data attributes. I read something about IF_RSMD_RS_ACCESS class that can be implemented on Master Data access and force it there but sounds really hard so if this is the way can some of you guys give us some help.
I hope I make myself clear on the explanation...
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Carlos

Dear All,
The recent days that I tried working on changing master data attributes through BPS didn't work out.The Primary reasons was that some of the attributes that I needed to change were not present in the transaction or planning cubes and the characteristics that are not part of your cube on which the planning area is based then you can not do changes on them.
This is my undestanding .Please correct me if I am wrong.
Besides , I was also thinking if we can do the same through portal.i.e retriving the master data infoobject ( based on the value seleceted for that infoobject by the user ) and its attributes in the portal , edit them and save them back so that the updated values goes back to BW master data infoobject data base tables and updates the value.
Eg . I have Natural Account master data infoobject in the BW with attributes fucntional area and expense center.Based on the user selection of any values for the Natural account lets say 01110 , then for 01110 natural account the portal should display the correspoding attributes values of fucntional area and expense center.Lets take this values as 10 , 20 respectively for fucntional area and expense center . What I want to do now is to change these attrbute values to 30 and 40 and I would like to save it back as the changed attribute values for that natural account for 01110 with new attribute values 30 & 40 respectively for fucntional area and expense center .
Is this possible through portal and BW?
Any idea on this would be appriciated.
Regards,
Ankit

Define transfromation-As master data attribute

Hello experts,
I have a 3.5 data flow DS> TR> CS-> UR-> ODS.
In this flow there is a field 0WBS element mapped to POSID from source in TR and in the UR its a straight map to 0WBS element in the ODS.
I also have a ZFIELD in the ODS which has an UR as Master data attribite of above 0WBS element.
Problem faced:
Now I need to map the same in a new BI 7.0 System using transfromation (Creation of DSO done exactly as in 3.5 ).
DS--> TRANS-> DSO
Looking at the transfer rules and the Update rules I incorporated all the same as in the 3.5 system.
Now I face only problem with the ZFIELD taking master Data attribute of 0WBS ELEMWNT when I check my transfromations.
In the Transfromation 7.0 I directly mapped POSID to my 0WBS element and then for ZFIELD I am mapping to have the rule as attribute of 0WBS_ELMENT in the rule details.
I am getting the following error.
InfoObject 0WBS_ELEMT cannot be used to read master data
Message no. RSTRAN066
Diagnosis
InfoObject 0WBS_ELEMT does not have the correct attributes to read master data for the target field.
System Response
The entry is deleted and the rule is invalid.
Procedure
Enter an InfoObject that has the InfoObject from the target as an attribute.
When I check my 0WBS info obj I see my ZFIELD is available as the attribute..
Could anyone help me to fix this transfromation.
Regards,

Hi,
The scenarion you explained is very much possible in BI 7.0. There must be something which might be missing.
