Master Data Loading in Process Chain

Hello All
I want to design process chain for Master data loading we have 8 modules in our project such as SD,MM,FI,CO,PP,QM,PM and LO how Design PC .Each Module one start varient and All Text,Attribaute and hierarchies Loading parallel ofter one Attribute Change run this Approach is Right Please guide me
and Module dependence are there ?
Like First load SD then MM like please guide me
Regards,
Ravi

Hi.......
Welcome to SDN.........
It is also possible to load like this:
load attributes
change run load texts in parallel
because chnage run and texts don't disturb each other.
If you want also to load hierarchies the following order is recommended:
load attributes
load hierarchies
changerun
texts at last or in parallel with changerun.
And for loading diiffterent area...........first tell me which architecture you are using..........split or LSA........
as per ur update u didnt mentioned the type of architecture wheather it split,or,LSA or some other thing which u are useing,
if you use Split architecture the load ,GD,DP,FC from FC completion of master data COPA will start so Complusary load FC first ,,u can run simulateanously (GD,DP,FC)it will be no problemand have to cross check about configuration of ur server also ,later you can start pp,tp in case of HR it will be total independent so check when u want to load
IN Case of LSA (layerd Scaleable architecture) first laod Masterdata .. which will same for all the Process areas (like 0costcenetr,0employee) later start the Trancation data which you feel which is important as per my knowledege go for FC in turn COPA because usually reports morely based on FC and COPA
Hope this helps......
Thanks==Points as per SDN........;)

Debjani..........

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.

Needs to delete one Master Data from main process chain in development syst

Hi All,
Can any one pls suggest how we can delete the master data load from main process chain in development system.
In the main process chain nearly i am having 52 master data loads in that i required to delete one master data.
Thnanks in Advance.
karuna.

Hi...
1) go to RSPC1
2) Give the technical name of the process chain
3) in the top where we write tcode....there write COPY..and press enter...
4) then remove the start process and the desired master data loads..
5) create a new start process with a new variant..if you want to put ant condition you can put it there...
6) then link the start process with the first process..
7) activate your process chain...and schedule it as per your require...you can make it immediate run or can scedule it for a particular time...
Or if you don't want to create anew process chain...then go to the design view of the PC and remove the desired load and again activate it...
Hope this helps you...

Debjani...

How to manage the "no data" loading in process chain

Hi,
I want to load some master data in delta mode with a process chain. The treatment works good except in one case.
If I have no data selected during the extraction ( cause the system doesn't find any data matching with the delta field ), the process chain appears in red as if some problems was encountered instead of giving a traffic light green.
How is it possible to manage this case of treatment as a normal treatment ?
Thanks for your help.

Marc,
in RSMO ,
Using Settings -> Evaluation of Requests ->
if no data is available in the system, the request
select Green (is Judged to be successful). this will cause the load to be successful if Zero records are fetched and the Process chain will not fail.

Master data activation by process chain

hello all,
As I have seen that we have to right mouse click and activate master data after loading so that we can report on it. Thats a essentila step right?
How can we achieve that in process chain, when we run infopackage to load master data do we add some other variant to activate that data ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Raj,
yes we can acheive this using process chains, create a variant on this , in the process chains screen on the left side, u can see "ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN" in "OTHER BW PROCESS"

How to stop the data loads through process chains

hi,
I want to stop all the data loads to BI through Process chains where load happens periodic.
kindly suggest how can I proceed.

Hi,
Goto RSPC find your PC and double click on START then change the timings, i.e. give starting date is 01.01.9999 like that Save and ACtivate the PC, it won't start till 01.01.9999.

Deleting master data in a process chain via ABAP "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND" ?

I need to delete master data attributes in a process chain.
Since there seems to be no predefined process type for this, I looked for an existing ABAP in the dictionary and found the ABAP report "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND". I plan to call this ABAP in an ABAP-process-step in my process chain.
Unfortunately, I'm not shure how to set the input parameters:
report rsdmd_del_background .
type-pools: rsd, rrsi, rsenq.
parameters: p_iobjnm like rsdiobj-iobjnm obligatory,
            p_chabnm type rsd_s_cha_bas-chabasnm obligatory,
            p_delsid type rs_bool default 'X',
            p_deltxt type rs_bool,
            p_obj    like balhdri-object,
            p_sub    like balhdri-subobject,
            p_ext    like balhdri-extnumber,
            p_noprot type rs_bool.
Can anybody help me, with the settings needed or point out another way to achieve the deletion of master data attributes in a process chain?
Thanks in advance, Frank.

Hi Frank,
as I already suggested in a previous thread, try to look at the FM 'RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA'(in the pgm LRSDMDU12)...but pay attention to the other elements that the system certainly checks in order to complete this type of process !
Hope it helps.

BPC:: Master data load from BI Process chain

Hi,
we are trying to automatize the master data load from BI.
Now we are using a package with:
PROMPT(INFILES,,"Import file:",)
PROMPT(TRANSFORMATION,%TRANSFORMATION%,"Transformation file:",,,Import.xls)
PROMPT(DIMENSIONNAME,%DIMNAME%,"Dimension name:",,,%DIMS%)
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%WRITEMODE%,"Write Mode",2,{"Overwirte","Update"},{"1","2"})
INFO(%TEMPNO1%,%INCREASENO%)
INFO(%TEMPNO2%,%INCREASENO%)

But we need to include these tasks into a BI process chain.
How can we add the INFO statement into a process chain?
And how can we declare the variables?
Regards,

Hi,
i have followed your recomendation, but when i try to use the process /CPMB/MASTER_CONVERT, with the parameter TRANSFORMATIONFILEPATH and the root of the transformation file as value, i have a new problem. The value only have 60 char, and my root is longer:
\ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\APPXX\PLANNING\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\trans.xls
How can we put this root???

2)Error 4 in the update
can anyone suggest me how can i sove the issue

Hi
yes, i got 2 errors in Psa
when i click the 1st error i got like
Data record 10023 & with the key
'EBTCLNT100ACGRAZ_BWRPRT_USR_FBW_Ptest0001 &' is invalid in value
'EBTCLNT100ACGRAZ_BWRPRT_USR_FBW_attribute/characteristic 0TCTBWOBJECT &.
And i it gave the procedure as
if this message appears during a data load, maintain the attribute in the PSA maintenance screens. if this message appears in the master data maintenance screens, leave the transaction and call it again. this allows you to maintain your master data.
And when i click the 2nd error
it has showed the data record as 10024 and remaing explanation is same like 1st one
in this i am not getting, how to proceed the solution.
plz help me anyone

Need help in triggering the Data stream load using process chain

Hi Guru's
is it possible to trigger a data stream load using process chain?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Indiran

Hi Indiran and welcome aboard!
Don't think this is possible. SAP BW & SAP SEM-BCS are rather independent systems. Though, BCS lives on top of BI-BW stack, it even may have master data different from those in BW.
Process chains, AFAIK, is completely the BW's feature. Certainly, you may use PCc on BW side, loading ODS/DSO and cubes involved in BCS data model.
The main con here is the lost transparency -- you don't control everything from the consolidation monitor.
The pro side is also rather obvious for me. Since, very often there is a huge difference between data quality at the data source and in the BCS totals cube, I need to make a lot of data transformation. Not only some data calculations or cleaning, but also transformation of data model: key figure model -> account model. It's much more easier to do in BW, for me.
I even call the ODS/cubes/routines involved in such transformation as intermediate layer, the layer between data source and SEM-BCS.
And this layer lives rather independently from BCS.
Hope this helps.

Process Dimension after BW to BPC Master Data Load

Hi All,
i'm looking for the way to process a dimension after master data load from BW to BPC (following the corresponding how to guide in BPC 7.5 NW). The new members are visible from BPC Administrator -> Mantain Dimension Members, but not visible in BPC for Excel after "Refresh Dimension Member".
New members are visible only if i process dimension from BPC Administrator , but I want this task to be automatic.
¿Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Enrique

Thanks for your reply,
I'm using Standard Process Chain IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER in BPC 7.5 NW SP03. I will open a Sap note.
As a quick solution, I found in SAP Help (is 7.0 but I suppose it's the same behaviour in 7.5) there is another Process Chain (ADMINTASK_MAKEDIM) that can be used to process a Dimension http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70sp02/helpdata/en/36/339907938943ad95d8e6ba37b0d3cd/frameset.htm. It has two parameteres ("Dimension Name" and "Input File"). Help says that if you leave "Input File" field blank, the dimension is processed, but it is mandatory field in package.
I have tried to modify package parameters but always appears an error with MEM_XML_PATH parameter in process chain.
¿Does anybody know how this package/process chain works?
Thanks again,.
Enrique

Master Data loading got failed: error "Update mode R is not supported by th

Hello Experts,
I use to load master data for 0Customer_Attr though daily process chain, it was running successfully.
For last 2 days master data loading for 0Customer_Attr got failed and it gives following error message:
"Update mode R is not supported by the extraction API"
Can anyone tell me what is that error for? how to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Nirav

Hi
Update mode R error will come in the below case
You are running a delta (for master data) which afils due to some error. to resolve that error, you make the load red and try to repeat the load.
This time the load will fail with update mode R.
As repeat delta is not supported.
So, now, the only thing you can do is to reinit the delta(as told in above posts) and then you can proceed. The earlier problem has nothing to do with update mode R.
example your fiorst delta failed with replication issue.
only replicating and repeaing will not solve the update mode R.
you will have to do both replication of the data source and re-int for the update mode R.
One more thing I would like to add is.
If the the delat which failed with error the first time(not update mode R), then
you have to do init with data transfer
if it failed without picking any records,
then do init without data transfer.
Hope this helps

BI Statistics Master Data Load

Hi,
We are implementing BI Statistics and BI Administration Cockpit. One of the OSS Note 934848 mentions that I have to install/activate all the datasources that are under the Application Component BW_TECH --> TCT.
My question is do I have to consider loading the master data for all those datasources/infoobjects ? There are nearly 80 - 100 datasources.
The note 934848 mentions to install the Business Content Process Chains. And I see that those process chains are hardly loading 10 - 12 master data loads. Is it OK if I just make use of those business content process chains to load master data ?
Initially I have created DTP's and Transformations to load master data for approx 50 objects. Later I came to know that BI statistics Cubes etc follow the 3.x format and I should use those as it is delivered. So, can't I still make use of the 7.0 converted datasourse objects with DTP to load the data ?
-or- do I have to delete all the transformations and DTP's and migrate all those DataSources back to 3.x ?
Thanks,

Hi Sesh,
1. Yes you need to activate all those Datasources. Its better to activate all of them as in BI 7.0 TCT infoproviders are used as basis for Workload monitor ST03 also in addition to Admin cockpit.
2. Its sufficient to just load the master data using the standard process chains (Init chains once followed by delta chains.
3. Its recommended to use the TCT content as 3.x only.
4. No need to migrate the 3.x content, just use as it is.
for more information you can refer to this <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=279998&tstart=0">thread</a> and related posts by <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/profile.jspa?userID=2035002&start=0">Rajani Saralaya K</a>
