Master data attr./text/hier. loading

According to best practice for Headcount and Personnel Actions( 0PA_C01), we have to do several process after infocube activation. e.g. active Query, query view, and loading transaction data.
The question is when should we load master data attr./text/hier. ? Why does SAP do not put it on the best practice document?

Hi,
You should always load Master data before transactional data. This helps in loading transactional data faster as the SID tables are already populated once you load the master data and helps master data load performance. Make sure that the loaded master data is followed by an attribute change run always as if this step is not executed, the loaded master data will not take effect.
Also in terms of reporting, if any users are accessing the queries and master data is missing at that point of time (might be loaded later), then the reports for those characteristics are going to show up as # (not assigned) and make no sense for reporting.
If the referential integrity box is checked during transactional data load, the loads will fail if relevant master data is not loaded first.
So, always load master data first, followed by attribute change run and then load the transactional data.
Cheers,
Kedar

  • Loading GL Master Data -- Attributes, Text, Hier ; and Transaction Data

    Hi all,
    Could any one give me the steps individually to load the following type of data in BI 7.0:
    1. Master Data with Attributes
    2. Master Data with Text
    3. Master Data with Hierarchy
    4. Transaction Data
    Do I have to create the Transformation and DTP's individually to load all the above kind of Data?
    Please give me the information as much as you can.
    Thanks,

    For master data when you create tranformation it will prompt infoobject to act as infoprovider, and then you create DTP to schedule data to it. It works fine with attribute and Texts, though hierarchy dosn;t support much features of 2004s at my side. Like i am not able to migrate Hierarchy datasource to 2004s, and even when i replicate it, it comes as 3.5 datasource only.
    For transaction data follow Gokuls step, or try to find on forums you will get lot of discussion on it.

  • Master data medium texts not loaded in table

    Hi,
    I have this Info Object which had only short texts enabled earlier.
    I changed this to enable the medium texts and I am loading the medium texts via a flat file.
    This worked fine in the development system and the medium texts were populated in the text table.
    However once I moved this object to quality; the medium texts are not getting loaded
    I debugged the transfer and update rules and I see that in the Development system, the generated program fills both the short and medium texts. However in Quality, the generated program only fills the short texts and no code exists for medium texts.
    Can you please let me know how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Sita.

    Hi,
    As our experts said  may be ur loading data from othe source also for that object
    If it is sure that u are loading data from flat file , u know that that object where it is used , either it is a standard object or custom object(Z object)
    if it is standard object then it will be used in different places at that time deleting the data also it is to difficult.
    u try once again first select the medium text check box and do the activation of that master data object and move the same to quality and check that medium text check box selection option is appering or not then it is appering
    then move the data sorce and Transformation and DTP and load the data and try to see the data.

  • Master data medium text

    Hi,
    Master data medium text and long text is not appearing eventhough i checked Medium and long texts in the master data /texts tab page.Plz let me know the solution.
    Thanks,
    Sr

    Hi,
    Where is it not appearing...in the reports??
    Just check the business explorer tab for this infoobject and see what is the text maintaned there...if it is short text then you will have to change it to long or medium...the way you want.
    Check in the tables and do the mappings and load the data in these two fields...you will get an option to map them in trnasformation.
    once loaded  and activating the master data and making the settings in the business explorer...you should be able to see it in reports.
    Thanks

  • QM action not allowed for DTP requests in master data and Text tables

    Hi,
    I have a master data object load request which has failed, returned error in st22 and job finished.
    BUT the request has not turned red in the monitor - it's still yellow. That means that I can not delete request nor start new load to infoprovider because it believes a request is still running. But it's not, I've checked both sm37, sm50 etc.
    When trying to manually change QM status to 'red' it says 'QM action not allowed for DTP requests in master data and Text tables'
    How can I force QM status to red so that I can move on?
    Running NW2004s BI (7.0) Patch 15.
    I searched for this question but there is no answer
    Thank you

    Folks
    I know how frustrating this problem is even in netweaver 7.0 environment. I found a solution for this problem atlast and it works but a not direct way of resolving this issue.
    When this request is in yellow status and not able to change / delete the request, its actually in a pseudo status and it is a bug in the program. This request sits in table RSBKREQUEST with processing type as 5 in data elements USTATE, TSTATE and this 5 is actually "Active" status which is obviously wrong.
    All we need is, ask your basis person to change the status to 3 in both these data elements and then it allows to reload the delta. Once the delta is successfully loaded, you can delete the previous bad request even though it is still in yellow. Once the request is deleted, the request status gets updated as "4" in table RSBKREQUEST.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • "Master data attr. of" un change source of update rule.

    hi,
    What is the importance of following in "change source" (characteristics) in update rules.
    1. master data attr. of
    2.initial value
    3. Source chars
    4. constant
    When and why these are used.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Avneet

    Hi Avneet,
    Lets say Material group is an attribute of 0MATERIAL. You cube contains Material and also Material Group as a separate characteristic (not as navigational attr) becasue you want to store the value of material group as it was during the time the transaction happened.
    But here you transactional data coming from the source brings Material values, not values of Material Group. So in the update rule for Material Group, you can specify "Master data attribute of" 0MATERIAL. What the system will do is take the value of 0MATERIAL on this record and populate Material Group taking the value that is present in Material Master data.
    So if Material = M100 and Material Group is MG01 in master data, it will supply MG01 to Material Group char in the cube.
    Hope this helps...

  • Loading data from one master data attr.to another master data in production

    Hi all,
    I have two two masterdata attr info objects A and B( have time dependent attr.).
    according to businees requirement i have included 8 objects of A TO B to make them as time dependent.
    all reports are designed on infosets only having these A and B ,some other ods objects.
    I have done mapping in infosets and made changes in queries according to changes.i when moved from dev to quality and checked all infosets and queries all changes are reflecting in infosets  and queries in quality.
    *QUETIONS * :
    1. while executing queries i am getting 'no data' in the reult of query output.
    2. How can get 8 fields data from A to B, because A has lot of data for that 8 fields in A in production
    Regards,

    Hi chinna
    first of all maintain the master data to attributes and these attribute converted into Navigational Attributes
    in this way u can get master data at query output

  • Master data and text

    hi ,
    I have a Info Object (IO) called AA.
    This AA has a Compounding Character CostCenter and Controlling Area.
    I have created my own extractors in the R/3 side seperately for Attribute and Text.
    When i pull in the Attr and Text extractor :
    they both form 2 diff rows / records in the MAster data Table.
    And i am hoping to get the attr and the descript in the same line.(that s the normal way -rigth ??)
    Is it Due to Compounding ??
    If so In the Transfer Structure for Text,
    I have linked Costcenter , AA and AA's description.
    Thanks,
    GG

    Hi GG,
    When creating a compoundig infoobject at the database level system with create a table with Compounding primary keys. IN this example we have COSTCENTER, CONTROLLING AREA AND AA as a Compunding primary Key. So we need to see that the Text and Attributes loaded  with same keys (ie COSTCENTER, CONTROLLING AREA AND AA) otherwise will be shown as two diff records.
    Ex: Attr
    COSTC     CA    AA         attr
    1000000 1000   10001       Attr1
    Text
    AA      Text
    10001    text1
    will be shown as diff records because these two have diff primary keys.
    Let me know if you need more info.

  • Error while realigning aggregates through master data attr. change run

    Hi all,
    We are using Sales Overview cube (SD_C03) on which we have built aggregates. now during the master data attribute change run it tries to realign the aggregate once the master data is loaded via Process chain. In this step we are facing an error:
    "Error while procesing aggregate <aggregate technical name>"
    From ST22 we can find
    Database error text........: "ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition"

    Whereas from SM21 we can find out:
    Database error 14400 at INS access to table /BIC/F200009.
    /BIC/F200009 is the fact table of one of the aggreates we have. really looking forward to your valuable suggestion.

  • Master data and impact of loads from transaction data

    If I have the following scenario:
    1. Load to cube which contains a dimension which has an info object 0CUSTOMER
    2. The transaction data is being loaded from a non SAP system and 0CUSTOMER is loaded on a daily basis from SAP system
    3. As part of the transaction load some Customers have a value which is not existing in the 0CUSTOMER info object
    Do these new customers also get loaded to the 0CUSTOMER master data i.e. the SIDs are added to the SID table for 0CUSTOMER or is it just loaded as part of the cube and stored in the specific dimension
    Thanks

    Hi,
    they are also automatically loaded to 0customer, as the sid of that record is needed in the cube. Possibly, if there is no relation to your R/3 customers, you have some initial records in your customer master (means all attributes as well as the texts are initial).

  • Master Data for Text

    Hello Everyone,
    I am trying to load sample Master Data. Can do that successfully for Attributes but not for Text. Can anybody help me.
    Thanks
    Points would be assigned for those answers which will resolve the issue

    Hi SAS,
    Suppose your master data attribute data will be like this,
    MaterialID , Material Name , Material Group
    CSV file will be like this,
    M001 X001 Y001
    M002 X002 Y002
    For this if you want to load text data means,
    The fields are
    MaterialID, 0Langu , 0txtsh
    CSV file for this will be like this,
    M001 EN SAMPLE
    M002 EN SAMPLE
    So you are loadind text for that same material ID or different material ID?
    and alsi check if there any lowercase letters in your CSV file .

  • Master data  deletion -  text with compounding

    HI All,
    I have " 0PYMT_METH" Info object which is having "0PYMT_METH_TEXT" Data source.  " 0PYMT_METH" Info object is having text and  0country with compounding attribute.
    - First , I did not load this master data , I loaded transactional data. so some values for key are loaded without text and country in master data.
    - Later i came to know we need text for paymnt method, then i loaded again master data. but i am not able to delete previous entries which have blank text.
    -i deleted data with SIDS and deleted all the transactional data , still i am getting that entries with blanks.Because of this in report output i am getting # value for the text.
    How to solve this? Is it because of compounding attribute ? If so can u please suggest regarding this ASAP?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jo

    Hi,
    Please check the data load for the text as you must be loading
    MAster Data CHAR , Country , LANGUAGE and TEXT as fields in your data source.
    As the Text can be over written so if the porper key fields are matched the text should be modifyed everytime.
    SO please check what combination you r  loading .
    ANyway if that is one time , and very less data you can manually maintain th text for master data .
      In order to delete teh data you use SE14 use the text table there to delete the data. PS : This is not recommended solution .

  • Master data from external file load

    I'm loading master data from a flat file.  I would like to load both the attribute and text from the same flat file.  For the attribute my flat file looks like:
    USERID,USER NAME
    For the text file I need to load the language, so it looks like:
    EN,USERID,USER NAME
    I tried to load the text file from the attribute file and hard code the 'EN' in the transfer rules.  But it seemed to ignore it and move the User ID into the language field.
    I must be missing something.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi!
    i think there is some mismatching between your transfer structure and the flat file structure.(i mean sequence of fields)
    you can do the following.
    1)create a flexible InfoSource which contain Fields
    0LANGU,userid,0TXTLG
    2) create the TransferStructure with the same field and same sequence.
    3)change your InfoObject and assign an InfoArea under master data tab.
    4)now you can see 2 InfoProviders in the Pinafore assigned. 1 for attributes and 1 for text
    5)create update rules for these 2  InfoProviders  using the InfoSource created above. in attribute Update Rules map 0TXTLG to Username field.
    hope it helps
