Loading master data through process chain

Hi Gurus
I am designing the process chain , I know that I have to start by loading master data first for that I am planning to load attribute first and then to load text and then Hierarchy. Is that the right sequence?
Also how can I make sure that once the master data is loaded , the transaction data loading start automatically?
I am planning to put attribute chage run as last process in every master data loading . Is that correct?
Also i would appreciate if you can tell me the very first step I should follow to start my design, I have already identified the master data and transaction data and their respective dependancies.what would be my next step?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kris

Hi Kris,
Make two seperate Process Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data
For Master Data:
Your sequence is absolutly correct, Identify what all Master Data Objects and make a list of InfoPackages and Start creating Process Chain as
Start --> Attribute --> Text --> Hier --> Attr Change Run
For Transactional Data:
Identify the Data Targets and the Sequence of loading, then create the Process Chain
NOTE: Always Master Data should be loaded before Transaction Data
After Creating different Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data, Make a one Super Chain called Meta Chain where you can put all these process chains,
Meta Chain --> Process Chain 1( Master Data Chain) --> Process Chain 2( Transaction Data)
also check these threads for process chain creation

Issue while loading Master Data through Process Chain in Production

Hi All,
We are getting an error in Process chain while loading Master Data
Non-updated Idocs found in Source System
Diagnosis
IDocs were found in the ALE inbox for Source System that are not updated.
Processing is overdue.
Error correction:
Attempt to process the IDocs manually. You can process the IDocs manually using the Wizard or by selecting the IDocs with incorrect status and processing them manually.
I had checked the PSA also but I could not find any record and the strange thing is, Job itself is not getting scheduled. Can any one help me out in order to resolve this issue.
Regards
Bhanumathi

Hi
This problem is not related to Process chain..
u can try this..
In RSMO, select the particular load you want to monitor.
In the menu bar, Environment >>> Transact. RFC >>> Select whichever is required, BW or Source System.
In the next screen you can select the Execute button and the IDOCS will be displayed.
Check Note 561880 - Requests hang because IDocs are not processed.
OR
Transact RFC - status running Yellow for long time (Transact RFC will be enabled in Status tab in RSMO).
Step 1: Goto Details, Status get the IDoc number,and go to BD87 in R/3,place the cursor in the RED IDoc entroes in tRFC
queue thats under outbound processing and click on display the IDOC which is on the menu bar.
Step 2: In the next screen click on Display tRFC calls (will take you to SM58 particular TRFC call)
place the cursor on the particular Transaction ID and go to EDIT in the menu bar --> press 'Execute LUW'
(Display tRFC calls (will take you to SM58 particular TRFC call) ---> select the TrasnID ---> EDIT ---> Execute LUW)
Rather than going to SM58 and executing LUW directly it is safer to go through BD87 giving the IDOC name as it will take you
to the particular TRFC request for that Idoc.
OR
Go into the JOB Overview of the Load there you should be able to find the Data Package ID.
(For this in RSMO Screen> Environment> there is a option for Job overview.)
This Data Package TID is Transaction ID in SM58.
OR
SM58 > Give * / user name or background (Aleremote) user name and execute.It will show you all the pending TRFC with
Transaction ID.
In the Status Text column you can see two status
Transation Recorded and Transaction Executing
Don't disturb, if the status is second one Transaction Executing. If the status is first one (Transation Recorded) manually
execute the "Execute LUWs"
OR
Directly go to SM58 > Give * / user name or background (Aleremote) user name and execute. It will show TRFCs to be executed
for that user. Find the particular TRFC (SM37 > Req name > TID from data packet with sysfail).select the TrasnID (SM58) --->
EDIT ---> Execute LUW
(from JituK)
Hope it helps

Loading master data via process chain

hi experts,
I have to load data in infoObject via process chain, my infopackage has update mode as full update. Now my question is do I have to delete the previously added data from infoObject and then run this full update infopackage in process chain or system will only fetch the newly added records from source.
regards,
ray

You can not delete the data from master data once the transcational data is posted against the master data value. Attribute value can be deleted, but you can not delete the value of the main characteristics from master data table.
Moreover, you dont need to delete the data when loading master data. Master data always overwritten with the new reocrds.
As described, first load the full load and then on daily basis you can load the delta.
DO NOT FOGET TO SCHEDULE ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN to activate the newly loaded data into master data.
Make sure that your master data is not enhanced, otherwise any change in the enhanced field will not generate delta record. If this is the case, then load in full mode everyday.

We can able to load master data through manually FIRST ROW IS EMPTY

Hi,
we can able to load master data through manually without loading but in that screen where we we type the data FIRST ROW IS EMPTY.PLZ tell me why that is empty

Becasue SAP BW already creates a Blank Line, it cannot create a new one again for you.
So, when you loaded the Blank like with description, it uses the existing blank line and creates test for it.
Each row in the table will have a SID.
e.g.,
12345 text1
23446 text2
You cannot have
12345 text1
12345 text2
If you load the above, you will have "12345 text2" in the table.
Same way, you cannot have two SIDs for the same key, so your new text is used for the existing Blank Key value.
SAP creates this:
Key, Description
when you loaded the Master Data, you have:
" ", "whatever you loaded".

Initial full load of Master data using process chain

Hi All,
Could you please help me regarding, initial master data load to characteristics with attributes and text. I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time. And one more doubt is, as per my knowledge we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
Means Start Variant -> Info Package (0Customer_Text, 0Customer_Attr,0BILL_TYPE_TEXT, BILL_CAT_TEXT) -> DTP ( ", ", ", ") -> ACR.
Your Help will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Sunil

Hi,
"I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time."
if there is no dependency between attributes then you add you can create process chains and trigger them at a time. No issues.
we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
With one info pack you can't load data to all 23 psa. because each data source have own psa. you need to sue 23 info packs.
in general start variant--> info pack --> dtp (assuming as your bw 7.x)---> attribute change run.
like that you need to create 23 chains
Or create one two big chains.
one is for attribute and another for text.
In attribute
start varaint--> info pack(info bject 1)--DTP(infoobject 1))--> info pack(infoo bject 2)-->dtp(infoobject 2).
Like that way you can create in series and parallel chains to load attributes data into info objects. at end you add change run for 6 info objects each. SAme you can do for text loads also.
Thanks

How to delete Master data using Process Chain

I need to delete data in respective data targets such as Infocubes, DSOs & Master data Infoobjects. It was fine with Infocubes & DSOs using respective process type. But the issue is with Master data Infoobjects.
Is there any process type by using which I can delete data in Master data Infoobjects using process chain?

Murali,
Master data object process type is not there because in BW, master data is conformed or is shared by other infoproviders. Due to this dependency, master data loading is a bit more complex. You need to drop all the data from all the infproviders which are using the master data you want to delete.

Master data in process chain

I have to create pocess chain for updating master data for following objects:
0Vendor - full load
0GL_account - Delta
0pur_group - Delta
any guideline how i will proceed?

SAP BI
Usually we create seperate process chains for Delta and Full loads. Since you have only three objects you could create just one process chain for all three. First create the start process and load all these three objects in parallel and one after other depends on the volume of records.
Hope this helps

How to delete master data via process chain

Hi All,
I have to delete master data before loading it again via a process chain.
In the process chain I chose the process " complete deletion of the data target content" but here I did not find infoobject as the data target option to delete the data.
Please suggest how to solve this.
Thanks,
Harini

Hi Harini,
P_CHABNM - It is for the reference characteristic.
I think if you dont have a ref characteristic then give the info-object name.
This is what I fetched fom help.
Reference characteristic
The reference characteristic has the technical properties of a characteristic such as data type and length, as well as the master data (attributes, texts and hierarchies). The characteristic itself also has buinesses semantics. Several characteristics can refer to the same reference characteristic. Such characteristics automatically have the same technical properties and master data.
Example:
The characteristics sender cost center and receiver cost center use the reference characteristiccost center and with it the same values and the same texts.

Usage of IO (read master data) in Process Chain

Hi experts,
I have a little bit complicated the task.
i have some InfoObject ( as input) and i need to find out the list of Process Chains which read data from this IO, directly by using update rules/transformations or by using function modules.
It means to check all steps in Process Chain and check all routines, selection conditions, update rules, transformations, functions ( function can call next function) , ... and find out if we read informations from IO (master data). I think it is complicated.
Maybe next solution - is existing any log of Process Chain which contains informations about "select" over IO (master data) ?
Thanks in advance
Martin

There is something, what can make your work easier
1. Go to table RSAABAP and put in field LINE value 'yourInfoobject'
you will get list of all places, where this IO is read
2. Go to table RSTRANSTEPROUT and paste all CODEID from previous table, and you will get list of all transformations.
Having transformation you can find all DTPs and then process chains

Deleting Master Data via Process Chain

I am in the midst of creating a process chain and am able to create process for deleting ODS Contents, but am not able to do the same for Master Data. Is this possible?

Firstly, why do you want to delete master data.
You cannot delete master if the same is used across other transaction and master ( attr )data.
You may use :
Prg - > RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND
FM - >RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_ DATA.
To my knwldge you cannot delete MD using process chains.
You can delete data in PSA periodically..is that you are looking for ?

Unable to delete PSA data through process chain.

Hi Everyone,
I have got a problem in PSA deletion. We have got few PSA and change log deletion jobs which run at daily or fortnight basis. We planned to add few PSA tables to each daily and fortnight jobs depending on requirement.
We added in development and could see jobs deleting PSAs properly. Now on transporting to testing, we could see that PSA tables are not being deleted and there is no change in data. We have checked the PSA table names properly, in table RSTSODS and confirmed PSA is given properly only.
Anyone faced this problem or have idea about this issue, please let us know and suggest us.
Thanks and regards,
Shashidhar.

Hi Shashidhar
Just check for the PSA requests as below:
Go to PSA in RSA1/ RSA1OLD -
> Select the PSA -
> Settings -> Display selection for PSA tree -> give start date and end date or any other selecetions as per your requirement-> it will show you all the details.
Hope this helps.

Loading of master data through flat files

Hi
can anybody tell how to load master data through flat files.As for as my knowledge we load characteristic and attributes values first and then we load text and then hierarchy.
is it right or is there any procedure to load all values at a time.
sai

Hi ,
condition1:The sequence of columns in the transfer structure must correspond to the sequence of columns in your flat file

Loading Master Data - Help

Hello Friends,
I have a current program loading Master Data through program.... basically it loads data reading from multiple ODSs and master data tables into another ODS through ABAP program ... during this process it also loads the Masterdata (i have the sample Master data load part below...).
Now my question is, instead of loading like this, can i just bring the BC object 0MATERIAL and assign the other related objects (please check the sample code below..) as the attributes and load data to this 0MATERIAL...
Can i do this ?
also which one is better on performance aspect ?
All useful answers would be awarded points ...
