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.

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.

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

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.

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 ?

Best Practices for Loading Master Data via a Process Chain

Currently, we load attributes, text, and hierarchies before loading the transactional data. We have one meta chain. To load the master data it is taking more than 2 hours. Most of the master data is full loads. We've noticed that a lot of the master data, especially text, has not changed or changed very little since we implemented 18 months ago. Is there a precedence or best practice to follow such as do we remove these processes from the chain? If so, how often should it be run? We would really like to reduce the amount of the master data loading time. Is there any documentation that I can refer to? What are other organizations doing to reduce the amount of time to load master data?
Thanks!
Debby

Hi Debby,
I assume you're loading Master Data from a BI system? The forum here are related to SAP NetWeaver MDM, so maybe you should ask this question in a BI forum?
Nevertheless, if your data isn't changed this much, maybe you could use a delta mechanism for extraction? This would send only the changed records and not all the unchanged all the time. But this depends on your master data and of course on your extractors.
Cheers

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.

Delete older data via process chain

Business needs only data for the past 45 days at any given time and the data loads are daily basis via process chain.
so I would like to have a step in Process chain to delete any data older than 30 days from today's date , on a daily basis.
How can I do that in the Process chain?

Hi,
You can use a process type called Delete overlapping request from Infocube in process chain. To delete requests older than 30 days select Deletion selections and write ABAP routine under Request selection through routine using following template.
Routines for determining the old requests to be deleted after successfully loading a new request.
form compute_<InfoCube-Name>
tables l_t_request_to_delete structure rsreqdelstruc
using l_request like rsreqdone-rnr
changing p_subrc like sy-subrc.
*Insert Source Code to decide if requests should be deleted.
*All Requests in table l_t_request_to_delete will be deleted
*from Infocube <InfoCube-Name>.
*Add new requests if you want to delete more (from this cube).
*Remove requests you did not want to be deleted.
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line-
     loop at l_t_request_to_delete.
     endloop.
     clear p_subrc.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line-
ENDFORM.
hope it helps...

Raju

Require Q1 2012 data via Process chain

Hi ,
I want to trigger a process chain daily which will get only Q1 2012 data.
Is it possible via sm36 tcode.
how can i achieve it.
please suggest.
Thanks.

You can give selection at infopackage level.
1>Either you can use standard variable.
2>You can write a routine.
Please find the sample code for previous month load :-
   data: l_month(2) type c,
        l_month_prev(2) type c.
          l_month = sy-datum+4(2).
          l_month_prev = l_month - 01.
        l_t_range-low = l_month_prev.
        l_t_range-high = l_month_prev.
        l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_t_range-option = 'BT'.
            modify l_t_range index l_idx.

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

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

Activation of Master Data In process

Hello,
I am creating a process chain for master data load. I want to know what is the procedure to activate master data in process chain .
Regards
Baljit Singh

Hi Baljit
After master data infopackages in the end of process chain, please keep a process of type Attribute Change Run. This will take care of it.
In tcode RSPC-> Process chain-> Maintenance screen-> click on process types icon-> here select attribute change run under "Other BW Processes"-> drag & drop process "attribute change run".
Hope it helps
