Master data Key and text

hi all ,
we are facing the problem with the master data where if i execute the query and used the master data as characteristi, it dispay key and text but in the scenario where text is not updated but keys are there. in this case, query dispay key and key as text rather than space.
like
region master
001 - gujarat
002 - maharastra
003 -
it display like:
001 - gujarat
002 - maharastra
003 - 003
i want to avoid 003 as text.

Basically, master data text can not be displayed as blank. The reason behind this is,
Lets say tomorrow when user wants to see only text for the same characteristic you mentioned, BEx can not show the value against the blank description. That is the reason, if text is blank the key is copied and displayed in the report.
If you would like to avoid displaying key as text, then try putting a space or . (dot) manually in the text data and save. That would eleminate this text shown as 003.

InfoProvider: infoObject (master data attribute and text)

I saw info Object of master data attribute and text in InfoProvider.

Error loading master data attr and text for 0material

Hi gurus,
I am new to BI, I am getting an error RSDMD- 194 when i am loading 0MATERIAL_ATTR and TEXT.
It is showing for nearly 100 records in the error stack.
Can anyone explain some basics,
1) why do we need to add 0MATERIAL to a particular Info area to start loading its ATTR and TEXT
2) Are the info objects that appear in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL the same as the fields of 0MATERIAL_ATTR datasource, basically what i don't understand is are we mapping the 0MATERIAL_ATTR datsource fields to the info objects appearing in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL info object.
3) Also when i added 0MATERIAL to my Info Area , there were some extra info objects that got in, are there any dependent objects that get added ?

Hi,
"Error RSDMD- 194 when i am loading 0MATERIAL_ATTR and TEXT.RSDMD- 194"
Please check if there is any external characterstic in those 100 records, correct it and load again.
1) why do we need to add 0MATERIAL to a particular Info area to start loading its ATTR and TEXT
It does,t matter where the 0Material is. Info area in kind of Folder to easily locate and put the all the related objects at one place.
2) Are the info objects that appear in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL the same as the fields of 0MATERIAL_ATTR datasource, basically what i don't understand is are we mapping the 0MATERIAL_ATTR datsource fields to the info objects appearing in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL info object.
If it is a business content infosource, it will automatically map the attribute to data source field. If you are modifying or creating your own object, you should map it manually based on field name and description.
3) Also when i added 0MATERIAL to my Info Area , there were some extra info objects that got in, are there any dependent objects that get added ?
If you will move any objects all the compounded objects will also come to the info area.

Selection Variable - List Key and Text filtered by master data attribute.

Hi Gang,
Is there a way to create a selection variable on a master data InfoObject, so that only a subset set of values (Key and Text) is presented to users, based on an attribute of that InfoObject?
For example, can we create a selction variable for raw materials so the we display 0MATERIAL key and text for selection, where material type = ROH ?
Our users don't want to wade through all values for all materials.
Thanks for your help,
John Hawk

Hi,
yes you can do it, you need to set type as navigational attribute in you infocube, and you will get type as characteristic in designer so you can modify it as requirement.
hope it helps

Reporting on master data customer and bad performances : any workaround ?

Hello,
I've been asked to investiguate on bad performances encountered when performing reporting
on the specific master data zcustomer.
Basically this master data has a quite similar design that 0customer, there are 96000 entries in the master data table.
A simple query has been developed : the reporting is done on the master data zcustomer and its attributes : no key figure, no calculation, no restriction ...
Nevertheless, the query can not be executed .. the query runs around 10 minute in rsrt, then the private memory is exhausted and then a short dump is generated.
I tried to buid a very simple query on 0customer, this time, without the attributes ... and it took more than 30 sec before I get the results.
I checked the queries statistics :
3.x Analyzer Server 10 sec
OLAP: Read Texts : 20 sec
How is it that it is so long to performthe reporitng on those master data, while in the same time If i try to display the content in SAP by choosing "maintain master data", I have an immediate answer.
I there any workaround ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
thank you.
Raoul

Hi.
How much data have you got in the cube?
If you make no restrictions, you are asking the system to return data for all 96.000 customers. That is one thing that might take some time.
Also, using the attributes of this customer object, fx making selection or displaying several of them, means that the system has to run through the 96.000 records in masterdata to know what goes where in the report.
When you display the masterdata, you are by default displaying just the 250 or so first hits, and you are not joining against any cube or sorting the result set, so that is fast.
You should make some kind of restriction on other things than zcustomer (time, org.unit, version, etc, to limit the dataset from the cube, but also a restriction on one of the zcustomer attribs, with an index for that maybe, and performance should improve.

Display key and text by WAD command in custom structure hierarchy

Hi everybody,
I have a query using a custom structure with hierarchy layout. As usual the structure does only display its text as descriptions but I can enable the display the key in BEx Web by right-click on the analysis item --> Properties --> Characteristic --> Display. Unfortunately these setting can not be defined directly in the structure within the Query Designer.
For a workaround I put the query into a web template, in which I used the Set Presentation (SET_PRESENTATION) command to enable key and text display from the start. Hence I put that command in the wem template parameters Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING). Everything is working properly and makes me very happy.
But... there is one thing missing, I would like to implement... I want a toggle button, which allows the user to switch between key and text display and text display. Unfortunately setting the same command from Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING on a various button does not working. The button command only affects data rows of the leaves of the structure hierarchy. All parent nodes do not change their appearance.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thank you for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
I have a similar problem. Can you help me? How did you set the entry in Member Presentation of Command SET_PRESENTATION to display key and text? I just found the values to set the only text or only key.
best regards,
Barbara

Hi,
What type control you are useing for date .
If you are useing Input field of date type or Date picker control you should get this option in the control properties.
Can you tell me what are tabs are appaering in the conrtol properties.
2.When you you are using the formula Round(@material) ,Are you typing it or draging Field from right side in to the formula .If you did not drag it you will get Message:Formula has errors.
One more probelm is there if the Data type of field where you using formula is not Number type.
Check all above and get back to me.
3.You are not able to give 6 points for all because its a resrticed one you execeded giving6 points option now you can give only 10 points.

Is it possible to change a master data key ?

Hi Experts,
i'd like to know if it is possible in any way to change/update the key of a master data table.
Reason: All of our projects have a certain nomenclature. Now I realized one project that does not follow that nomenclature and would like to change it accordingly (0PROJECT -> /BI0/PPROJECT).
The connection to the cubes is through SIDs, therefore I cannot remove the current record in the master data table and create a new (the correct) one.
I also cannot reload the cube after I possibly had changed the master data table.
For me, the simpliest would be to just update the key portion in /Bi0/PPROJECT and I think modern database systems would allow this (we are running BI on top of DB2), but may be I'm wrong.
I tried the update in the maintenance dialog in RSA1. Stupid enough it allows me to change the key and even the subsequent Save would work. However, by opening the table afterwards again, the old (worng) values are displayed again.
Would someone know how this could work ?

Hi,
Are you trying to change the value of a master data key for a particular record in the P table?
if this is your requirement, then the answer is NO. i don't think so..changing it manually doesn't help you.
I suggest you to load the same record from your source system with new master data key value and all other attributes with the same data as the old record.
Now you will have two records in your P table( one with the old value and another with the new one)
There is no harm in having the old record in your P table...deleting of any master data is risky and not appreciable ( but possible)
You need to use this new master key value in your transaction loads which will intrun connect to the master data using SIDs
By using the new value in your transaction loads, the old one will not visible in any of your reports...but will just sit in the P table with no use, which is still fine for you.
However, to laod this new value (in both master and transaction data) you need to get in touch with the functional team.
Modifying the data manually in BI/BW ( Unless there is an invalid data from source to PSA) will lead to inconsistencies and reconciliation issues. - NOT Advisable

Sudheer

Process Chain - Master data Reorganizing and Realignment

Hello Experts,
1) Could you provide me the best practice on using the Re-organizing the master data for Time independant and time dependant attributes/texts.
2) In addition to attribute change run for Master data attr/hier/texts, how significantly it would help by adding Re-organizing the master data process step to the master data load process chains ? Is it mandatory to have this step at all ?
3) Is it sufficient to run the realignment for attributes alone or you have to run it again after loading the hierarchies ?
4) Advice whether to add Re-organize master data step for every single attribute and texts since it cant be grouped like other process types such as attribute realignment run!
Look forward for your updates!
Thank you, Vijay

Hallo
Please have allok at the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Probably it is not mandatory but if your masterdata is a mess than it would be better on performance

Assuming the infoObject name is ZINFOOBJECT.
The tables are :-
/BIC/MZINFOOBJECT       View of Master Data Tables: Characteristic
/BIC/PZINFOOBJECT       Master Data (Time-Ind.): Characteristic
/BIC/RZINFOOBJECT        View SIDs and Char. Values: Characteristic
/BIC/SZINFOOBJECT       Master Data IDs: InfoObject
/BI0/HZINFOOBJECT                 Hierarchy: InfoObject
/BI0/IZINFOOBJECT                 SID Structure of Hierarchies: InfoObject
/BI0/KZINFOOBJECT        Conversion of Hierarchy Nodes - SID: InfoObject
/BI0/TZINFOOBJECT        Texts: Char.
/BI0/XZINFOOBJECT       Attribute SID Table: InfoObject
/BI0/ZZINFOOBJECT       View Hierarchy SIDs and Nodes: Char.

Related to InfoObject display in Query as Key and Text

Hello all,
          I have problem with my two queries which is created on same InfoProvider.
Problem:
            I have Q1 and Q2 queries which fetch data from DT1 data target
> Both the Q1 and Q2 has the same InfoObject 'IO'.
> Properties of InfoObject in both Q1 and Q2 are same.
While Q1 and Q2 is expected to return the same result. Q1 returns the key and text but Q2 is returning only key for same infoObject 'IO' .
Additional Information:
> In query result, The 'IO' properties for Q1 it is key and text and Q2 is only key.
> I cannot change the Q2 's 'IO' properties to show key and text in query result as i donot have the authorization.             Q2 query is created on development server and tranported to production, where as Q1 query created on production.
I want Q2's 'IO' to display key and text.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Umashankar

Hello all,
      Thanks to all for your response. Here I can conclude all of your saying.
1. Change the Q2 in development and transport it to production.
          To do this I need to have applicable data in dev or QA, unfortunately there is no applicable data found in any of the system except Prod.
2. Change the Q2 in production by having authorization.
          It will solve the problem but I hope Client will not agree to provide authorization to change.
excuse me these will not resolve the problem. If you any new Idea please let me know.
My way to resolve this is
1. Delete the Q2 from Prod
2. Copy the query Q1 to Q3 in Prod.
3. Reverse transport Q3 to Dev and tranport again to Prod.
4. Check the query result.
            Here you may ask why you need Q3 if you have Q1 and Q2, the answer is Q1 is created by user and now he need Q2 (same as Q1) but it should not be in changeable mode. Hence we have created the query Q2 in Dev and transported to Prod (In previous case). But the only difference in both the queries is one InfoObject values is shown as Key and Text in Q1 and Key as Q2.
I'm not sure whether the way mentioned here solve the problem.

Load Master data attribute with Text Data (Urgent Please)

Hello Experts,
I created a new navigational attribute to one of the master data object and now I want to load that particular new navigational Attribute from the Master data Text (Medium description).
In brief, I need first 4 letter of master data text (medium description) to load in to the navigational attribute. How
How is this possible? Can you please help me to get it solved.
Thanks and Regards,
Harish Mulaka

Hi Apparrao,
Add this attribute to your infoobject's attributes list.
Make sure it comes in the communication structure for the infoobject.
Then in the transfer rules write a routine. You will have to read the text table to get the medium text(field TXTMD) and pull the 4 characters from the beginning and populate your new attribute.
Do a full load and run the attrbute change run.
Hope that helps.
Regards.

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

Reporting on Master Data From and To

Hello Experts,
We are trying to report on the From and To dates of a time dependent infoobject 0FUND. We have turned the infoobject on as a dataprovider but we dont see how you report on the two dates. When we try adding 0DATETO to the attributes tab we get an error saying "attribute cannot be used with time-dependent attribute". Next i tried mapping in a Z infobject but I could not get the object to populate with the Date To data. What is the trick to getting these date fields in a query?
Thanks,
TMS

Hi,
Create Z objects for both dates. Create a Z object for master data objects "Fund".
Add these two Z objects as attributes in master data Z object.
Create as infoset with Orignal master data object and Z master data object.
Use Infoset to create report.
I hope it will work.
Thanks,
