Master Data in IO as InfoProvider and as Not InfoProvider

Hi all
I found that I can directly input Master Data into InfoObject (IO) with Maintain Master Data menu. Before I thought, I have to insert an IO into InfoProvider to do ETL stuff.
Then what is the different between having this IO inside InfoProvider and not having it inside InfoProvider?
Thanks
ps. If this question is quite confusing, please let me know.
Regards,
Halomoan

Main difference of having and not having a MD InfoObject in the InfoProvider is for example
you have
Customer Master data which has a attribute called Location
Customer         Location             Year
ABC                USA                   2007
ABC                France                2008
From the above example if the Master Data is not time depenedent then we would have only one value for Customer Location as France and the User would like to see the location for Customer ABC in 2007 as USA and since the MD for Customer contains only the latest information France the history is lost so at the time of designing the Cube we look at these scenarios to decide which InfoObjects we would include in the Cube to avoid these situations. (Slowly changing dimensions).
Lets say that we included Location in the Cube. Now the users will have the flexibility to report the current location for all the years using the MD attribute or can use the location InfoObject from the InfoCube to get the snapshot of 2007 as well. Below is the result from these 2 scenarios
1.Scenario 1 Using Customer MD to get Location information
Customer           Location        Year            Amt
ABC                  France           2007           1000
ABC                  France           2008            500
2. Scenario 2 using the Location information stored in Cube
Customer          Location          Year           Amt
ABC                 USA                2007          1000
ABC                 France             2008           500
Also there would be some performance improvement if you are using the InfoObejct from the Cube as you are reducing a join.
Hope this is helpful.

Master Data Save Through BPS - BI and BPS Related

Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding BI and BPS working together.
1.Does all infoobject used in BPS layout have to be master data enabled to avoid BPS created master data? By this I mean, if an infoobject doesn't have 'with master data' check box enabled, and has only'with text' enabled, the new masters created in BPS gets saved to the infoobject? Is this how it is expected to behave?Is there a work around to avoid creating master data from BPS?
2.We have a multiprovider for actuals and budget. Budget comes from BPS which has only cal quarter. But the budget and actuals cube have year and quarter. In the actuals we are deriving quarter and year from trnasaction date in update rule. But for budget, we have only quarter being entered by user. Is there a way to derive the year and store in budget infocube so that reports derived out of the multiprovider can show year correctly for both budget and actuals?
Thanks
Suja

>1. BPS cannot create master data at all and that setting is irrelevant fo bps. Users can only forecast on existing master data.
This is wrong. If your infoobject doesnt have master data, then values inputted in layouts will be written into the infoobject.

yes

I think, yes

The only way, i suppose, to create infoobject with master data

Master Data coming from 1 backend and GOA distributed to many bakends

Hello,
In our case (using SRM 5.0) one backend system is used to replicate all material master data and GOA will be distributed to multiple backends including the one that is used for master data. As far as i know the logical backend system is determined through materials/material groups while GOA is distributed. In the above case how can we intervene with this logic to be able to distribute the GOA to whatever backend we have, even though if the MD is not coming from them?
Thank you,

Hi,
You can use the BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS for this purpose.
The method :CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE (Determine Target System of Contract) has been provided for the same purpose.

To enhance 0EMPLOYEE master data attributes, need to delete and load again?

Dear Support,
In order to meet business intelligence demands, I had three more attributes (region, time rate and worksite) to 0employee time dependent characteristic. The datasource to load 0employee attributes and its structure were enhanced to fill the new fields.
After first load, 0employee master data could not be activated. So I deleted 0employee master data, what I couldnu2019t do without deleting its data from transactional HR infocubes. I deleted transactional data and afterwards master data. I load it again and activated, with no errors this time.
This occured in development system.
Changes are about to go to production environment and deleting almost all transactional RH area infocubes and 0employee master data is something that we all want to avoid.
I am asking if there is a workaround in order to solve this without doing the stated time and resources consuming task.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best Regards,
André Oliveira

Hi Andre,
You should be able to do a full load to achieve this. No need to delete the data. If there are corrupt data in BI with overlapping time periods, fix it by maintaining the master data. If corrupt data comes from source fix it in PSA.
Also you can specify to load the data for a time range only which might be easier than to load all history.
good luck,

Transporting Master data - New GLs,Cost Center and profit Center.

Dear Friends,
1. I have to create new GLs in Dev, Now i have to transport the new GL to Quality and Production. As per my knowledge, Master data has to created in DEV,Quality and Production.
please suggest, is there any t.code where i can transport GL from Dev to quality and production.
2. when Creation of the site, New Cost center,Profit center, Changes to standard hierarchy both in cost center and profit center hierarchy has to done in dev,quality and production manually.
Any suggestions where i can do only in dev and transport to quality and production.
3. After creating new cost center and profit center, i have to go to okb9, select the co.code,cost element and insert the new cost center and profit center in every cost element. This takes almost one hour.
Please suggest how to reduce this manually process.
All the help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Sridhar Reddy

Hi ,
Master data is to be created in diffrent clients as it is a non transportable object .
So in case of GL , cost centers you will have to again re run the LSMW which you had created for DEV .
Secondly OKB9 is a transportable object , so i dont feel there should be an issue in adding it to a transportable object .
In case of adding the values of tables in a request what you can do is create a request , go to SE01 open the request in change mode in the objects enter TABU and enter on the relevant entries that you want to transport .
But again one has to be very clear on what all table entries are to be transported , like SKA1 , SKB1 , SKAT etc. looking at the complexities and moving ahead with the standard way it is advisable to re run the LSMW in QUA and PRD .
Hope this helps .

ALE distribution of HR master data to CRM - subtype CELL and MAIL

Hello,
Overview/Introduction:
we are using the ALE distribution of HR master data to CRM. The distribution has already been set up and it is running. We know that the infotype communication (0105) is especially distributing the subtypes 0010 (e-Mail) and 0020 (telephone number). This e-Mail address and the telephone number are stored in the business partner in the CRM system.
For this infotype 0105 there are also the subtypes CELL (cell phone) and MAIL (e-Mail address). Unfortunately this cell phone number and the mail address (from subtype MAIL) are not stored at the business partner in CRM.
Our request is on the one hand to store the data from subtype CELL into the field mobile number of the business partner. And on the other hand we want to store the e-mail address of subtype MAIL at the business partner instead of subtype 0010.
For some reason it seems that these requests canu2019t be setup within SAP standard.
So we found SAP note 758426 which suggests to use the BAdI HRALEX_INBOUND and the report RH_ENHANCE_BP_TEMPLATE.
Problem:
Now the problem is that the BAdI does not get called! The BAdI is active! We tried to set break points -> unfortunately did not stop! And we also implemented an endless loop in the BAdI -> even with this the system did not u2018stopu2019!?
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Roman

Hi,
First you need to create a distribution model using transaction BD64 : Edit > Model View > create.
Then you will need to maintain fields for description and technical name. In partner box you need to enter the source system (HR) and the target system (FI) in the second field. Then you need to assign a message type and filter settings if you need it. You need to create this distribution model in source system (HR).
After, still in BD64, go to environment > change partner profile or transaction WE20
Select your target system and enter the corresponding message type ( HRMD_A or HRMD_ABA depends on your scenario) with the correct customizing (receiver port, packet size, idoc type, syntax check and output mode).
Then please do the same things in your source system using WE20 for your source system and define your inbound parameters (Process code HRMD, processing by function module : use trigger immediately if it is not a production system or else trigger by background program and this case you will need to run report RBDAPP01 to process Idocs).
Once done, then go back to your model view in your source system (BD64) and go to Environment > generate partner profiles. Then please go to Edit > Model View > distribute
After all these settings done, it should work.
Please also check out documentation :

Master data HR to E-REC standalone system not being created using PFAL

I am trying to transfer data from HR to standalone E-REC system using PFAL transcation.
IDOC transferred with Status 53.
BADIS of E-rec are Implemented.
In e-rec relationship O to S, S to CP, CP to US, CP to BP and CP to P are getting created Properly in table HRP1001.
We are unable to see the data for Infotypes 0000,0001,0002,0006,0105 for the same CP in PP01.
We tried the same scenario with SRM system and there we were able to see the data of above infotypes for a CP.
Table T77S0 are maintained according to the SAP notes.
Please through some light on how we can transfer the data of HR master to E-rec and where exactly we have to check for this master data in E-REC
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Rohit,
Firstly,
No, you cannot have infotypes like how you have mentioned for SRM. This is not how it is in eRecruiting. As Raj suggested, we look at other infotypes of this.
5102 : gives you details about the candidates.Object NA.
5105: Qualification details etc.
For an object P in the system, there is CP. On activating the relevant BADIs, a BP & NA are created for the CP when transferring data from core HR. Now, this does not necessarily mean that all the HR infotypes are transferred to relvant infotypes in eRecruiting. The data is handled differently.
If you are sure that NA exists, then internal candidates are created successfully. Next thing would be to map this NA object with the relevant PA details like name, address,email address etc. For this we make use of the BP object associated with the CP & not the CP or the NA.
So, if you would want to check if the transfer is successful then you go to tcode BP & check if the name & address details etc are the same as the corresponding P for which the NA is created.
To see more of the core HR info, you can check the business partner BUT000 against the relevant BP.
I hope this clears some of your confusion.
Secondly,
Regarding the BADI, I am aware that this BADi is mainly required in an integration implementation scenario. But i think the sample implementation of this BADI CONV_HR_DATA_TO_EREC is required to create internal candidates from idocs.I think this is required for the P to CPBPNA transformation.But if you say the NA is created without this then maybe i am wrong. Please take a second look at this.

Sowmya

Insert into date column using EJB3.0 and toplink not working

Hi All,
I'm getting the following error whenever I attempt to insert a date value into my Oracle database.

Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00904: invalid column name
The cause seems to be clear enough; from the sql above it seems that the timestamp syntax isn't being interpreted properly by either toplink or the JDBC driver , (I'm using whatever driver that comes with OC4J 10.1.3).
I've seen somewhere that you can call setUseNativeSQL() in toplink but how do I get hold of the toplink session from an entity bean?
That sounds like an awkward workaround anyway, what other workarounds are open to us?
Thanks,
C

C,
I don't use TopLink, but I suggest you set the "processEscapes" [Oracle database connection] property to "true", as described in the JDBC User's Guide and Reference.

Purchase order data for ATP category BH and BI not retrieved

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where I need to extract purchase orders data from the bapi BAPI_POSRVAPS_GETLIST3. I am passing the locations, products and ATP categories AG,EF,BF,BI and BH. However, my bapi works correctly for AG,EF and BF, but it does not retrieve the data for BI and BH categories.
I have debugged the bapi and found that it is unable to retrieve data from the live cache.
Can anybody please help me out and let me know the exact reason for this issue? I have checked the return table of the bapi and it does not give any error message as well.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks in advance.
--Warm Regards,
Prajakta K.

Hi,
BI (stock transport order) and BH (PreqRel) are demand elements for which there exist corresponding receipt element as BF (Purchase order) and AG (Preq) respectively. BAPI will give data for these categories.Thus you can get data for BI and BH from corresponding BF and AG.
Similarly EF (Dep:Preq) is receipt element and you will not get data for corresponding demand element which is available in the system as EG (Dep:ConRel).
I think BAPI is working fine.

"Flash out of date" comes up, new install, and will not accept Password for install? Next step?

"Flash out of date" comes up, i do a new install, the log-in and password windows pops up, I type in password and it will not accept.
I have changed password, confirmed password, rebooted several times, and it still will not re-insall new version.
I am stuck.
HELP!

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

Firefox will not open Gmail, or load all the data on the google tab and will not load Outlook lite on a webpage correctly.

In the last couple of days when I start Firefox it will not properly load the Google home page I set up. It will not load the calendar or Date and Time. When I try to open gmail it will not open. I use Internet mail using outlook lite and it does not open properly formatted. All of these problems did not exist until two days ago. I have even gone back and did a system restore 8 days ago to see if that would correct the problem.
Thank you

For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.

IMac Date Reset Itself to 1970 and Will Not Connect to Internet

I suspect the date problem has something to do with a dead battery, but suggestions would be welcome.
I have WiFi with my iPhone, so I know that works. When I try to connect the iMac, it wants the WAP password. I checked Keychain, but my password there is denied.
Any clues how I should proceed will be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Ted

Ted,
I suspect the date problem has something to do with a dead battery
Yes most likely. You can and should reset the date and time in the "Date & Time" click on the time and select "Date & Time" in the drop down menu.
There's a test point under the user access panel on the bottom.
Try again with the correct time. Do you have the WAP password.
