Master Data query

Hi guys,
It's recommended that Master data be not loaded daily but still at regular intervals. (Usually full load)
My question is if there is master data for customer and between two loads we have a new customer and he orders something, how do you handle that. How will a daily report on sales will capture that next day. Doesnt it become mandatory to do setting like load master data in object if it doesnt exist in it before loading it in cube. Is that a good strategy.

I've never heard anyone recommend, as a general rule, that Master Data not be loaded daily. There are certainly some MD objects that see little if any change on a day to day basis, and those could probably go with less frequent loading, e.g. weekly, monthly, or maybe, as already mentioned, just when there is a problem.
Another aspect to consider is how much time it takes to perform the load. Deltas generally should load quickly, and as for fulll loads - certainly where it takes several hrs to perform a full load of an object, it needs to be evaluated carefully.
I just completed a project to simplify our MD loads. We used to have some objects load daily, some weekly, some on the 1st Tues of the month, others on the 2nd Tues, and so on. This ended up being overly complicated. I took all the weekly and monthly loads and made them part of a simple weekly load. No more guessing about when an object is loaded, it is either daily, or weekly. The weekly group only takes about 15 minutes, so there is no need to get too fancy in our scheduling.
I think you also need to consider the tradeoffs of not having the customer master data loaded. If this is customer facing data, or data that sales folks or customer service staff need, the impact of missing info is obviously much larger than if an infrequent, non-critical backroom report is missing something.
If load time is an issue, perhaps it can be loaded at another time duing the day. There are also options to load different ranges of customers in parallel to reduce total load time, e.g. 4 different Infopkgs, all running concurrently. IP1 with customers 1-200,000, IP2 with customers 200,001 thru 400,000, and so on. This requires some RSADMIN table entries to prevent locks ( at least in 3.x).
My preference would be to load the data daily, rather than set up a process that causes a MD load to fail because of missing MD. If new customers are relatively infrequent and load time is not a challenge, then maybe that's OK, but if load time is not the challenge, then why not load the data daily?.

BP Master Data Query

I have a BP Master Record. I need to export it to an excel file for testing.
when i open a record for export the Export to Excel icon is grayed out. How do i do the export?Please help me on the same
Thanks,
Kanthi.

Hi Kanthi,
If you look at the Sales Order or transaction data export file, it will only export the Row Data.
BP Master does not have any rows but just Master data spread across Tabs. You have two options
In the BP Master .. Find mode Enter * and hit find and it will display all the columns from the Master Data, You can add more columns by clicking on Form Settings (Tools > Form Settings OR CTRLShiftS).
Then Export this list to Excel.
The Other Option is to use Reports > Query Generator / Query Wizard and Select table OCRD, CRD1 to select Master data and address data and then export to Excel.
Let me know if you need further help.

Master data query display limited to 10000 records

Hi,
When I run a query based on master data objects like 0CUSTOMER, the query displays only 10000 records instead of about 50000. This happens with all other master data items. This happens after the upgrade to 2004S. We still use frontend 3.5. Transaction data displays are correct. Has anybody faced this problem? Can someone suggest the solution for this?
Thanks.

Query create on Master Data for the items that has not shipped

Hi all,
Is it possible to report/query on Items on Master Data that has not inoviced or has not been shipped?
Running query on Sales overview cube will not bring the right data since that cube only captures the items that was invoiced. Please help!
Thanks in advance,
BW
P:S Points will be assigned.

Hi,
if u are using BI-7 for scenarios like this they have designed info set to include 2 cubes,
as info set brings intersection data u can opt for infoset, build info set on cube and ur master data then u will get the result this will be better as per performance issue.
if u are using BW then if data flow is from ODS -> CUBE then u can build infoset on ODS and master data it will be good.
if u want replacement path then u have to use RRI that is report to report interface. build char variable on ur info object in cube query so that it will brings orders which are shipped.
then build another char variable in master data query and processing type as replacement path to char var built on first query. and exclude those values which first var brings.
assign points if it helps,
thanks,

Master data is not getting displayed in the Query Designer

Hi,
I have a DSO in which I have an InfoObject called Emp No. in the Data Field.
The Emp.No is being maintained as master with (Emp Name, Address, Telephone No, DOB) as attributes.
I have loaded the data in the Emp. No. master. Then tried loading the transaction data in DSO.
The Emp.No is there in the DSO active data, but in the query designer its not getting displayed.
Hope its clear.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
I have brought the Emp. No. in the Key Field and also have activate the master data again.
Yet my Query Designer doesn't have the Emp. No.
I have done a full load for both Master and Transaction.
Please advice me what the other alternative.
Thanks

Time-dependent master data in the cube and query

Hello,
I have a time-dep. masterdata infoobject with two time-dep attributes (one of them is KF). If i add this infoobject into the cube, what time period SID will be considered during the load? I assume it only matters during load, if i add the KF to the query it gets its value based on the SID in the cube.. right?
Thanks,
vamsi.

If its Time Dependent Master Data object when you run your Master Data if that time any changes to the Master Data that value will be overwrite to the old value you will get the new value. When you run the Query execution the Infocube Master Data infoobject will having the SID that time it will to there it will be displayed at that moved what is the value you have in the Master Data table.
This is what my experience.
Thanks,

Force read/refresh of master data attributes on query

Hi there,
We're having troubles with one input ready query that changes and attribute value (KYF) of one characteristic. That works fines and whe can save changed data on the infoprovider via DTP. Problem is when data is saved we need to refresh query as whe have both values on screen (original value as char attribute on rows) new value as input ready KYF, so after save we would like to see that both values are the same.
Is there any way of force query no to read from caché as whe are changing master data attributes. I read something about IF_RSMD_RS_ACCESS class that can be implemented on Master Data access and force it there but sounds really hard so if this is the way can some of you guys give us some help.
I hope I make myself clear on the explanation...
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Carlos

Dear All,
The recent days that I tried working on changing master data attributes through BPS didn't work out.The Primary reasons was that some of the attributes that I needed to change were not present in the transaction or planning cubes and the characteristics that are not part of your cube on which the planning area is based then you can not do changes on them.
This is my undestanding .Please correct me if I am wrong.
Besides , I was also thinking if we can do the same through portal.i.e retriving the master data infoobject ( based on the value seleceted for that infoobject by the user ) and its attributes in the portal , edit them and save them back so that the updated values goes back to BW master data infoobject data base tables and updates the value.
Eg . I have Natural Account master data infoobject in the BW with attributes fucntional area and expense center.Based on the user selection of any values for the Natural account lets say 01110 , then for 01110 natural account the portal should display the correspoding attributes values of fucntional area and expense center.Lets take this values as 10 , 20 respectively for fucntional area and expense center . What I want to do now is to change these attrbute values to 30 and 40 and I would like to save it back as the changed attribute values for that natural account for 01110 with new attribute values 30 & 40 respectively for fucntional area and expense center .
Is this possible through portal and BW?
Any idea on this would be appriciated.

Ankit

Query from master data

I am trying to create a structure to create a query as follows from 0EMPLOYEE master data. I have ceated a BI infoset with 0EMPLOYEE and using that to create this query. This query is intened to be used as the receiver query in RRI.
Sender Query (query1):
                              Employee Distribution by perfromace rating
Performance Rating Before_Min Below Above Total
Receiver Query (query2) : this should feed the employees used in query1 and get their attributes in a query
Employee       Last_Name First_Name, Annual_Salary
    A
    B
Qns:
1, What is the best approach to get this?
2. How do I create a characteristic query for Employee (without key figures) as in qurey-2
Amy help is apprecaiated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your message. I got the receiver query working by configuring the infoobject as a infoprovider and getting "# of records" as the dummy KF into the query and hide it. I need to clean up to supress results reow.
For connectign to this query as RRI, in the assignment details, do I use it as an Infoobject - parameter for 0EMPLOYEE or any other setting. I used the above settings and see more employees in the list than I had expected. i don't see the employee ids being passed on from Q1 to Q2 to provide a reduced result set when I limit the scope in q1 (eg: by filtering using the org unit or personnel area).
Any clues?
Thanks

Cannot delete master data because it is in use by a query

Hi, all.
I am trying to delete some master data and it is in use by a query according to SLG1. Is there a good way to delete the master data content without deleting the query?
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Hi, Pavan.
The master data is not used anywhere else since I have already cleared all the cubes and DSO. The only thing the SLG1 is complaining is the query.
Actually, the reason I am doing this is because the data on the system is kind of old. After we refresh the source system with production data, we are trying to repopulate all the cubes again. I am wondering if we actually need to delete all the master data. Doesn't re-initializing the master data will do the job? If that is the case, is there any reason to delete the master data?
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Error when executing a query on master data

Hi Friends,
When I execute a query fon Master Data Characteristic infoObject ( 0BPARTNER ) from BEx Analyzer I got the below error. 0BPARTNER contains 15 attributes. I am getting the below error only for this query. Rest all other queries are working good with the same BEx Analyzer.
An error occured in the communication with the BW Server.
Due to this connection has to be closed.
Detailed Description:
The system is configured incorrectly.
Please tell me what could be the problem? How to overcome this?
Thanks,
Sasi

Hi Arun,
Before the execution of query I did that. And it was ' Query is Correct'.
Any more ideas?
Thanks,

Webi error for master data attributes if universe is on top of BI query

Hi All,
We are using BO XI R2 SP5 integrated with SAP BI 7.0.
We have built a universe on top of a BI query and when we try to build a web intelligence report that includes master data attributes like Customer City,Customer Region etc BO throws the following error:
Error 1:
Database error: [SOFA Driver] : Error getting members for hierarchy (level=ZFI_I03/ZFI_I03_Q0003, member=[ZFI_I03___F172], opcode=[ZFI_I03___F172]) . System error in program CL_RSDM_READ_MASTER_DATA and form VALUEREAD-02- (see long text). Contact your Business Objects administrator or database supplier for more information. (Error: WIS 10901)
For a universe built on a different BI query with master data attributes mentioned above,a different error occuring.
Error 2:
Your Web Intelligence session has timed out. Log out and log in again to InfoView. (Error: WIJ 77778)
We have tried:
1) We have executed the function module BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_DIMENSIONS with necessary inputs query/cube and we got correct output, like members, optional properties, selected properties and restrictions.But, still our problem remains same.
2) Transaction u201CRSRTu201D and executed the query,transaction RSRV to check SID-tables and the related masterdata.
Above steps we performed in response to SAP tickets 541052 / 2009,541131 / 2009 based on logs generated,but still the error persists.
What is working:
If a universe is built on top af an infocube directly, then there is no problem with master data attributes in webi report.
Please let us know if you need more details to help us resolve this issue.

Hi Naresh,
based on the MDX you can identify that those are navigational attributes and thats why the issue is not happening when talking to the cube directly because when you connect to the cube directly the navigational attributes are not available.
Take a look at note : 996197
not sure if it will solve the problem because there are other notes when you search for the error message but this was most of the times the one that resolved the issue.
the issue is in the BAPI functions

Characteristic "Master Data" setting in Query definition not working?

Hi,
I am having a problem with a query definition. (BI 7.0)
The query comprises the following definition which relate to displaying Milestone dates for respective projects in a time series so the dates are populated in the correct column in a time series:
Filter
Project Definition = Fixed Single Project Definition
Fiscal Year Variant = K4
Project Profit Centre = Hierarchy Node
Project Plant = Fixed Single Value
Free Chars
Network
Network Activity
Activity Element
Rows
Project Plant
Project Profit Centre (With hierarchy)
Project Definition
Milestone Type (Setting in characteristic to pick up Master Data)
CSR Relevant    (Setting in characteristic to pick up Master Data)
      Structure
           Actual
           Scheduled
    (Actual: Value type = Actual, Origin = Manual ,Event = Start)
    (Scheduled: Value type = Actual, Origin = Scheduled ,Event = Start)
Columns
Key Figure structure of 12 key figures in a time series
Selection
Key Figure = Date
Fiscal Year/Period = Current Fiscal Year / Period (SAP EXIT) (With Offset 1 to 12)
FYI
When I run the above it comes back correctly. However when I add "MILESTONE" (Characteristic setting (Posted Values) to the Query Definition immediately after the "Milestone Type" and before CSR it does not work it just is hanging for a considerable time.
I am not using "Master Data" for the "Access Type for Result Vales" for the additional characteristic "MILESTONE" just "Posted Values".
I was expecting that it would just show all Milestone types as per Master Data but just the Milestones that are posted for this result.
I would appreciate a solution to this issue and an explanation to why it hangs when I add the "MILESTONE" characteristic to the definition as explained above.
Thanks in advance..
Stevo

Hello there,
Putting Milestone in the rows in the query definition is not being hang there (i.e., while creating and saving the query) right?
It is stucked while executing the query isn't it so?
That's because you have too many records to be desaggregated by milestone characteristic, and this is indepently of posted values in the characteristic settings.
Putting milestone characteristic in the free characteristics will allow you to run the query, but desaggregate it (add it to the rows) will be to much information to read from your dataprovider (this is just a guess).
If it is being stucked in query execution whike milestone is in the rows. Try this for example:
Add milestone to the free chars. Execute the query. Filter milestone characteristic while still in the free rows and choose a value that you are pretty sure has the smallest records in the Dataprovider (could be for example value #). Than drill down milestone to the rows. You'll see that it can be executed without any problem.

All master data values not shown in query selections

Hi
I have created a query on a BasisCube containing the InfoObject 0FUNC_AREA. I loaded data to 0FUNC_AREA and the cube.
I then created a query on the cube, in which I want to filter on 0FUNC_AREA. However, when I get the list of available values for 0FUNC_AREA not all the values in the master data is shown. It only shows 25 values out of 105.
As a default, the data shown is only the cube data, so I removed the tick in the checkbox: Show only InfoCube data. Still the same.
Then I went to the InfoObject and set the 'Query Def. Filter Value Selection' and 'Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn' equal to 'Values in Master Data'. Still the same.
Then I deleted the contents of the InfoCube. It still shows the original 25 values.
The really strange thing is, that when I go into the selection screen for 0FUNC_AREA in the BEx and limit the shown values to one of the values available in the master data but not shown in the list, it shows the text of the functional area in the limit summary window. But still when executing the limitation, it cannot find the value!!!
The problem is the same in LISTCUBE
I hope some of you can help we with this.
Thanks
/Karsten

Hi Hari
1) Reactivated the master data, said it was already active.
2) Could see a difference between the data contained in cube and the remaining data. Otherwise not.
I deleted cube and master data and reloaded, the problem still persists. I am beginning to suspect a bug in BW.
I have to determine whether I am going to live with it (as it isn't critical, just a nuisance) or create an OSS on it.
Thanks for all the input guys.

I have an issue while executing a query.
The input parameter for the query is the 0customer variable in which when I try to select the value from the tab Select From the List & goes for single value option or any other option then goes for long time loading the values & then come out with a short dump.
I want to know why this is happening.
Please help me out from this.
Thanks in advance
Neha

Thanks to All
I have checked the info Object - 0Customer.
The following settings are there in Bex Explorer tab ::
Query Def. Filter Value Selection - Values in Master Data Table
Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn - Only Posted Values for navigation
Also the Value for display in the object are only 1000. This takes time only in analyzer not in designer.
What I have to do, plz suggest
Thanks
