Master data sharing using ext. star schema

Hi,
I have undetrstood the concept of extended star schema.
I understand,
One of the advantages of extended star schema is, that the master data can be shared, meaning, since the master data is stored separately, other star schema's can also share this master data provided it is of the same relevance( with same infoobjects used in this star schema).
Confirm if my understanding is right and if right,
Any idea or suggestion how to demonstrate this ?
Points will be given for good answers.
thanks.

Hey,
If u could map this with programming.
MASTER DATA Tables are like GLOBAL declaration and InfoCubes (Fact Tables) are like LOCAL declaration. Any number of IncoCubes can access one particular Master Data Table.
Assume Sales data coming from 5 regions. Here 0CUSTOMER & its attributes will update the same Master Data Table. The data fields will be stored in the Infocube. So all the 5 InfoCubes access the same Master Data tables using the Dimension & SID tables.
Clear ?

Master data sharing

hi,
In extended star schema, master data is stored separately . can this master data be shared across other star schemas as well?
thanks.

HeLLo
will explain with a simple example with sales.
1. Create these InfoObjects
CHARACTERISTICS:
Sales Representative ID - SRPID
" "     "     "     Name- SNAME (Attribute 1 of SRPID)
" "     "     "      Age- SAGE (Attribute 2 of SRPID)
" "     "     "    Phone- SPHONE(Attribute 3 of SRPID)
Sales Region            - SREG (External Chars in HIER)
Sales Office            - SOFF (External Chars in HIER)
KEY FIGURES:
Product Quantity        - PQTY
Sales Amount            - SALES
Profit Amount           - PROFIT
2. For the IO SRPID maintain the above said attributes and external chars in hierarchies.
3. Using DIRECT UPDATE, load the Master Data.
4. Create InfoSource(Flexible Update) IS_SRP_TD with the following objects
SRPID, PQTY, SALES & PROFIT.
5. Create InfoCube (IC_SRP) and Update Rules using the InfoSource - IS_SRP_TD and load the Transactional Data.
Now you can create a Query on the Infocube, Drag and drop the SRPID into Colums and the Key Figures in the Rows. Then on the SRPID under Columns, give context menu (right click) add the 3 attributes & again give context menu Properties and Display Hierarchy, there check Active & select the hierarchy name.
Now save and execute your query, this report will display the InfoCube data with attributes and the hierarchy.
You could prove this with the following tables.
Fact Table - /BIC/FIC_SRP (This table will have KEY_IC_SRP1 - Dimension Table Key)
Dim Table - /BIC/DIC_SRP1 (This Table will have the DIMID field - Dimension Table Key)
Here Fact and Dimension Table gets the link.
DimID Table - /BIC/DIC_SRP1 (This Table will have the SID_SRPID field - Master data ID to link with the following SID table)
SID Table   - /BIC/SSRPID (This table have the InfoObjects /BIC/SRPID, SID (MASTER DATA), CHCKFL, DATAFL, etc.
Using these teh SID table will check the P, T & H tables.
Hope this clears you ?
Best Regards....

Identifing duplicate master data records using the MDM Import Manager

hi all
I read the Topis "How to identify duplicate master data records using the MDM Import Manager"
i tried to create import maps and to set rules. but when i import them it creates the new vendor records for each rule with rest of the fields blank.
when i import vendor data all the three fields i.e Match rate , match type and match group are blank.
My Question is :
I am getting vendor data from SAP R/3.
In which source (in lookup xml file or data xml file) do i have to include these above three fields and how all the rules will be reflected in repository?

Hi Sheetal
Here we go when do you Import any data (vendor master) please follow the following steps;
1. First of all apply the map to the source data
2. In the Match Record tab there are 3 possiblities
 a.[Remote Key] : Checks the current source rec with
 repository along with all the fields - This is
 default
 b.Remove [Remote key] - by double click the same; and
 choose any single fields like Vendor Number or
 name - Then the current record will be matched
 with the repository based on the field.
 c.Instead of single field you can choose combination
 also.
3. Based on the Match results, match class will be set
 automatically;
 a. None
 b. Single
 c. Multiple
4. Then Match Type
 a.Exact-All the individual value matches are Equal.
 b.Partial-At least one value match is Equal and at least one Undefined; no value matches are Not Equal.
 c.Conflict-At least one value match is Equal and at least one value match is Not Equal.
5. then chek the Import status and Execute the import.
Hope this helps you.
cheers

Can we restrict a master data characterstic using another master data chara

Hi All,
Can we restrict a master data characterstic using another master data characterstic, if they were both compounded together. There are two fields viz.., A,B in r/3 master data table in which A and B combinely serve as a key. In BW side i have created a master data object for A and compuded object B ot it. So that i am getting all the data from r/3 table. But in query designer when i am trying to restrict object A values by object B, in a structure i am not getting any data. If i do same out of structure i am getting data in report. Please help in overcoming this problem.
Regards,
Rajkandula

Hi,
Yes it should display data, but it is not displaying. If i am doing the same restriction out side of a structure i am getting data. But whilr trying to do so, i am not getting that. The reason why i am bothering about structure is 'Objext B have 10 different values and i want 10 coloumns in report in whicg Obj A must display respective data when i restrict it by B' , whicg i can do this only if i use structure else i can't restrict B that many times .
I hope u got my problem and plz give help me in this.

Wow, that was indeed a quick reply i have ever got on SDN. Thanks for the excellent link jitesh. However, where will i get the deployable files that it selects in the Import GP/CAF contents step of the demo? those are the webdynpro components files. One is SCA and other is SDA. Where will i get them?
Kindly post the link to those files if u have them or else send it across.

Do we use direct star schema concept anywhere in sap bw

i know about extended star schema,and where sap uses this concept.
my question is do we use normal star schema concept any where in sap bw, apart from extended star schema concept.
if yes specify the answer briefly .
thanks in advance
with regards
yash.b

Hi,
If I'm not mistaken an Analytic view in Hana is more like the normal star schema, it is definitely not extended and can be consumed by BW for OLAP processing.

Master Data Text Used as Line Items in ODS

Hi Experts! 
I would just like to know if I can use the text I loaded of master data Revenue Type from R/3 in BW? 
What I have done already is that I have created a customized extractor in R/3 under the CO-PA-IO node in RSA6 (since I think this is where this data is coming from/should belong under. A consultant of ours (before I got here) have already set up the other individual extractors for Sub Product A & B, Product Line, others in the FS10N transaction, document line item details.Hi Experts!

A consultant of ours (before I got here) have already set up the other individual extractors for Sub Product A & B, Product Line, others in the FS10N transaction, document line item details.
Once I have created it, I already replicated it in BW and have already setup the infosource. I created a InfoObject as Master Data with text and I loaded data from infosource. After loading, when I maintain Master Data for the characteristic I created in BW, I can see the pulled data that I have loaded from R/3. It is correct. 
Now this is where I am having a problem. I need to know how to be able to use this Master Data text when I load line items (0EC_PCA_3) to my PCA ODS. As it is right now, I have setup the EC_PCA datasource, replicated it and activated it as well, and I have already added a Revenue Type characteristic to this datasource already and have mapped it accordingly. However, I am unable to pull any data when i manage the contents of the ODS, but i can see the it in the maintain master data. 
How can i set it up such that I am also able to match my line items with their corresponding Rev Type Text in the ODS results? It is important to note that for Sub Product A, B, and Product Line fields, the previous setup is able to do so, and I am able to see results for these in the ODS line items results. These are also setup as master data text in BW by our previous consultant and I followed the same procedure and setup. 
I feel that I am just missing a step on how to tell BW that the master data text should also be matched to the Line Items in the ODS during loading.
Kindly seeking for your assistance and advance thanks!

Hi Simon, 
Thanks for the reply! 
First of all, yes, I think we are on the same page regarding what I want to do... I have created a master data infoObject in BW, created a customized extractor in R/3 under CO-PA-IO node, and mapped them to each other in BW such that when i execute a package in InfoSource in BW, i am able to load master data text in InfoObject Rev Type in BW. 
Kindly explain more on "you should have created the revenue type as a text datasource and loaded the data into the text and not the master data". Do you mean to say that I should have just created a regular datasource (i.e. Flexible Update in any Data Target InfoSource), rather than a direct update of Master Data datasource? 
However, if this is what you meant, please remember that for other characteristics such as Sub Product A, B, Product Lines, Sales Region, Business Center etc. (as seen in FS10N tcode per GL), are reflected in ODS per line item, and they are setup as master data. So I was thinking maybe i just missed a step in mapping. 
Is this what you meant? My main goal is to be able to have the line items i load in ODS be matched to the particular revenue type for that GL's profit center (seen in FS10N tcode in R/3)
Thanks again.

Master data transfer using CIF

Hi all,
I am just clueless. I am trying to transfer master data from ERP to EWM but it ain't happening. It is throwing out this error. System: P6QCLNT800 User: RFC_USER_1 12/11/2010
Function/Q/SAPAPO/CIF_LOC_INBOUND
Text: Internal error in IGS2, US. RFC: Connection Error.
Here P6QCLNT800 is the target system and RFC destination and also the logical system for SCM EWM. User is the RFC user.
All my settings and configs are right atleast as per SAP documentation for integrating EWM as an add on. I tried after disabling geocoders for US using the GEOCODERS report. Still I am getting, I have checked my RFC destination and tested my connection it is working fine in SM59. What should I do to proceed further?
I posted this in SCM LE forum but I guess this post is more suitable here.

85,
This document tells me to create a RFC user with user type System. While I've created with the type communications.
This shouldn't make much difference. When I am debugging a new implementation I will make the USERID dialogue with SAP_ALL until all connectivity problems are resolved, then change the USERID to System (I have never used communications, although I do not doubt that it works) , and take away the excess authorization. From the sound of it, the type of USERID may not be your problem.
A common problem is the case sensitivity of passwords. You usually get some kind of logon error message, though (with standalone SCM anyway). When your userid is 'dialogue', and you execute SM59, and perform a remote logon, this will tell whether logon issues are still a problem. I always set my passwords in the destination to all uppercase, since the CIF seems to capitalize PWs before it sends them across.
does your document fit my case?
Not exactly. Unfortunately, I have never set up EWM as an addon, so I can't speak from experience. The instructions in your doc seem to mostly parallel the standard SCM connectivity docs though, so most of the steps are probably the same.

SAP Retail : Article Master Data Transfer using LSMW/ARTMAS05: EAN Error

Hi Bjorn Panter,
I want to thank you for providing very informative articles on the Master Data of ERP Retail.
We are currently loading articles to SAP from legacy and use your articles on ERP Retail as part of our knowledge warehouse.
We have encountered an error which has stumped our conversion.
We are getting an M3 535 error stating that "First specify the main EAN for the unit EA". We are using LSMW (IDOC Method, Basic Type ARTMAS05).
Our MARM segments have generic and variants. The UPC and UPC category (set to UC) are filled for the variants and blank in the segment containing the generic.
Our MEAN segments contain variants only with the UPC and UPC category (set to UC) filled.
Our UC EAN category is configured with a blank check digit algorithm and a number range of 12 digits. We are loading our variants with EANs that are 12 digits.
When debugged IDOC_INPUT_ARTMAS, I noticed that :
In routine MARM_UEBERGEBEN (in function module BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT), this code clears our MARMX indicators :
   LOOP AT UNITSOFMEASURE.
    ART_DATA_EXISTS = 'X'.    "JH/05.01.00/4.6C Entkopplung der MALG
    IF UNITSOFMEASURE-FUNCTION NE C_MSGFN_D.   ->>>> this checks if our function code is 003 (which is a delete).
*     TMFIELDRES aufbauen
      CLEAR UNITSOFMEASUREX.                   ->>>> Since we are doing a create, it clears the indicators in unitsofmeasureX
To bypass this clear, I debugged the program and overlayed the indicators and marked UPC and UPC category as 'X'. This worked and we were able to post our IDOC successfully... THe UPCs showed in the MARM and MEAN tables.
However, knowing that there are a lot of Retail companies loading articles into their SAP system, it would seem odd that no one has reported this as a bug or no one has posted this issue in SDN. I could not find any OSS note related to this issue either.
Can you please help us figure out what is wrong ? Have you encountered this error in the past ? Is there something in config that we should check ? Should we look at fields in our segments ?
Any help from you would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah

Dear Sarah,
please open an OSS customer message.
Put in a valid IDOC ARTMAS number with this error and open your system.
I guess either it is a bug in IODC structure or you found a bug in software.
My colleages will take care.
Regards
Björn

HR Master Data Enhancement using BAdi RSU5_SAPI_BADI.

Hi Experts,
I am trying to use first time BAdi 'RSU5_SAPI_BADI' instead of RSAP0001 for enhancing HR Master data. I have enhanced the structure and I have created implemention method for BAdi and activated fine. Then I am not sure about the next step, I did search SDN but this point is not clear. Where is the link between these two things between Structure and the method, how is it called to populate the data. Because When I run RSA3, it shows my new field with blanks. So I am missing some thing that integrates. IF some one has implemented this please let me know. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Moorthy
I was able to populate the new fields only when I use the structure in one place ie in BAdI. I mean, two fields were populating using user exit and I was trying two fields using BAdI for the same structure. When I tried all fields from BAdI only then it worked. So is my assumtion correct that we should either use user exit or BAdI for the same structure?

Mobile number is not uploading for BP master data creation using BAPI ?

Hi,
I am creating Business Partner Master data in ISU/CCS using the BAPI "BAPI_ISUPARTNER_CREATEFROMDATA". Uploading data from Excel.
Successfully uploading and creating new Business Partners apart from Mobile number, nick name,middle name, and name of birth fields.
There are 2 issues i am facing:
1. There is no field name is called Mobile number (data element AD_MBNMBR1) in structures of that BAPI.
2. Nick, middle and birth names fields are there, but they are under the Expand(+ symbol) in FPP2 (FPP1) Tcode. That's why these fields are not uploading.
How to upload them?
Please help me out.
Thanks
Sarayu Parvathaneni.

Hello Roopesh,
Ususally, to make the BAPI update the database, you have to run BAPI
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after BAPI_PRDSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2 is executed.
In se37-> You may insert
BAPI_PRDSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
in the Menu-->function module >test>test sequences.
Also as Mani said, if the update is successful the return parameter will be '0'.
