Master data text after upgrade to NW700 SPS15 (SP17 for SAP_BW)

Basically all the Technical Names with an Underscore _ are replaced by $ symbol.
This issue as depicted here under appeared after the upgrade from BW3.5 to BI7.0, all Master data texts with Underscore __ appears as $
Before upgrade     After upgrade

Any body faced this problem.

Anyway. I opened a oss message with SAP and they confirmed that RSA1OLD don't work but can only work with RSA1. The problem is at RSA1OLD and when you check dataflow in RSA1OLD, it gives error, while in RSA1, it works. SAP is working on this. Assume that they would correct it later.

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/text of characteristic 0MATERIAL already deleted

Dear BW Experts:
I'm getting this error message when I tried an extraction into an infocube.
"Master data/text of characteristic 0MATERIAL already deleted"
Before the extraction, I've loaded the characteristic 0MATERIAL succesfully.
Can anyone help me? any clues?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
We have also received the "Master Data has been deleted" error message. If you delete (or try to delete) the master data for a characterstic, you will get this error message for the next transaction data load. Just mark the failed request to red and back it out from the data targets and then try loading the data again, this time you will not get any error message.
It will only give that error message for the first load after the deletion of master data.
Now coming to the second point. How to delete the master data?
As all of you know, we delete the master data by selecting delete master data from the context menu of an infoobject. This deletes all the master data records that are not currently being used in any of the infoproviders, hierarchies etc. In the system log (transaction SLG1), it will show what are all the records that got deleted and if a record is not deleted it will let you know where that master data is being used.
Now the problem with deleteing master data in this way is, this runs in dialogue mode and if the no of infoproviders and data volume in those infoproviders is huge it will take very long long time to complete you will get a time out message. There is a function module "RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA" , to run this in background you need to create a ABAP program and migrate it all the way to Production and run it in production.
Luckily, there is a SAP delivered ABAP program which we can use to delete master data. That program is "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND", run this program in back ground with the input parameters as mentioned below.
P_IOBJNM - Infoobject name.
P_CHABNM - Infoobject name.
P_DELSID - X
P_DELTXT - X
P_OBJ - RSDMD
P_SUB - MD_DEL
P_EXT - MDDEL_Infoobject name_BG
You can verify in system log, which records got dleted and which are not deleted.

How to regularly update the Master data/Text/ Hierarchy for BW DEV?- Urgent

Hi Experts,
Can anyone help me to understand how to update the Master data/Text/ Hierarchy regularly for BW DEV.
Since all the new query developments are taking place in DEV, users are not finding the latest Masterdata/ Texts /Hierarchy in the DEV system.
I have searched in SDN and got a document "HOW TO DOWNLOAD A HIERARCHY TO A FLAT FILE". However, is there any other way to upload the master data automatically on periodical basis.
Please help urgently.
Advance Thanks,
BW USA

If you want to extract master data from PRD in order to load in DEV, i suggest to do this (its a tricky thing):
For example, you want to download 0EMPLOYEE
1-In PRD, transaction RSD1
2-Enter 0EMPLOYEE
3-Copy the Master table for 0EMPLOYEE (/BI0/MEMPLOYEE)
4-transaction SE16
5-Enter the table name /BI0/MEMPLOYEE
6-in the selection screen, go to "Options" Menu and select "User parameters", and now select "Standard List SE16"
7-Execute
8-Now its show's up the 0employee data, go to "System" menu - List - Save - Local File
9-After you have the flat file, only rest create Infopackae in DEV Env. and load it from the flat file.
Asigns points if useful.

Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old.

Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old. It;s been working perfectly up until now. I have no problem on my home WIFI, or through personal hotspot working through my iPhone 5.
I have worked with AT&T, replaced the SIM card with a new one, and done a backup/restore to factory settings, all with the same result that when I turn Cellular
Data on, with or without Enable LTE, it goes into "searching" mode, or reports "no service". My iPhone 5 works perfectly on iOS 8.1.2, on Cellular. I've browsed the blogs and have tried Apple's suggested fix, all to no result.
Oddly enough, every once in a while I do get connected to the network for a short ime (minutes), but it always returns to "searching".
I've filed a report with Apple, along with a request that they contact me, but no results yet.
Help? (and thank you).

Hello razmee209. Thank you for your response. I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support. They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total. Same problem. I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem. I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too. In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
Everything else with the iPad works fine: WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem. I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet. I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
Thanks again for your response and suggestions.

Effect of 'No update' for master data texts

Hello all,
I am using flexible update - update rules - for master data text. I want to confirm effect of 'No update' in following scenario
In the fisrt set of update rules -from first source system -I have mapped both short text and long text
Key | short text| long text
......| overwrite| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX| some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text | long text
......|overwrite| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX |
My loading sequence is first source system followed by second source system
what should be my ultimate long text and why?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards
Sanjyot

Hi surekha,
your long text will not get changed.
Take the example you mentioned
Key | short text.....| long text
........| overwrite......| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX.. | some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text... | long text
........|overwrite......| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX. |
In the second set of update rules, you mentioned "No UPdate", So, when a record with the same key is found n Masterdata, it is not going to make any changes to the field Long text.
Where as short text will get overwritten.
Take some data for ex with the above mentioned type
data from source 1 : 2000 Maggi Noodles
data from source 2 : 2000 Feasters
when the data from first source system arrives, data will be 2000 maggi noodles
when the data from second source suystem arrives, as there exist this records with same key(2000), it checks for the other fiels
short text will be over written with the value in second system (according to rules its in overwrite mode)
Long text will not be updated as the rule says no update.
hope this helps,
Cheers,
Srinath.

Loading data from SAP BW standard table to master data text

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me the steps to load data from SAP BW standard table to master data text?
How should the data source be created?
Thanks in advance.

Hi aparajith,
Have you loaded the master data attr ?
ECC Steps
then load the attr text
create the ztable using standard table using generic data source using table function.
there you can select the which field you required
check the data in RSA3
BI STEPS: -
check the source system connection.
replicate the data source
create of find the master data object for text (including attr)
map the transformation
run the info package
create the DTP.
check the data in target object.
Thanks,

Meta dates in AlbumData.xml (date problems after upgrade)

HI folk,
Further to my post earlier today about the date mashup after upgrading, I was wondering if a [careful!] edit of the AlbumData.xml file might help.
If I knew what these fields meant I might be able to work out what to do...
<key>DateAsTimerInterval</key>
<real>9850139.000000</real>
<key>ModDateAsTimerInterval</key>
<real>206299947.507982</real>
<key>MetaModDateAsTimerInterval</key>
<real>206299831.664670</real>
Which one (if any of these) does iPhoto use when deciding what order to display the photos in? And what are the numbers? Seconds since 1984? Picoseconds since the Woz left the company? Curious minds want to know.
And yes, I'd use a backup for experimentation.
Rob

Rob,
That timestamp is probably based on the [Unix Epoch|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time], the basis for almost all time stamps in programs based on Unix and/or the C programming language. If those dates are in fact based on the Unix epoch, they are based on the number of seconds since Jan1, 1970.
Sometimes such dates are represented as integers (like DateAsTimerInterval seems to be) and sometimes they are represented as floating point numbers (like the other two) in an attempt to circumvent the Year 2038 problem.
You may find this useful: [http://www.unixtimestamp.com>
Personally, I would love to find out how your experimentation goes - what fails and what works; if you have to go through any hoops to get iPhoto to recognize your changes; if exporting a photo changes its EXIF timestamps after you play with the XML file, etc.

Master data text load failure?

Hi all,
My process chain for master data text has failed and i am getting the below error message?
error records written to the application log
error 4 in the update.
pls advise me on this what should i do?
thanks
Pooja

Hi,
I will suggest you to check a few places where you can see the status
1) SM37 job log (In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load) (give request name) and it should give you the details about the request. If its active make sure that the job log is getting updated at frequent intervals.
Also see if there is any 'sysfail' for any datapacket in SM37.
2) SM66 get the job details (server name PID etc from SM37) and see in SM66 if the job is running or not. (In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load). See if its accessing/updating some tables or is not doing anything at all.
3) RSMO see what is available in details tab. It may be in update rules.
4) ST22 check if any short dump has occured.(In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load)
5) SM58 and BD87 for pending tRFCs and IDOCS.
Once you identify you can rectify the error.
If all the records are in PSA you can pull it from the PSA to target. Else you may have to pull it again from source infoprovider.
If its running and if you are able to see it active in SM66 you can wait for some time to let it finish. You can also try SM50 / SM51 to see what is happening in the system level like reading/inserting tables etc.
If you feel its active and running you can verify by checking if the number of records has increased in the data tables.
SM21 - System log can also be helpful.
In your case it is probably because of invalid character issue.
Thanks,
JituK

Profit Center Master Data text

HI All,
I have a few problems regarding the master data text for 0profit_ctr.
Our company has uploaded quite alot of historical data ( not my idea) to its master data.
The problem is that for each Profit center record we have two lines in 0profit_ctr, both with a different set of FROM and TO dates.
Only one of these records are we interested in and thats the one with To date of 31.12.9999.
What I want to do is for the system to upload the Text field of the profit centre regardless of the dates involved, at present the old record has no profit centre text and this is the record the reports are reading.
The system is only picking up the text record for the active profit centre.
I have tried deleting the from and To dates for 0profit_ctr_text but still the load fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is it a time dependent master data? Then you will not be able to delete the From and To Date.
If you are not interested in the validity of a profit center, You have to make it time independent.
Also when you say it loads Text..Where are you trying to Load. If you are trying to Update using a Routine/Code, Then while reading the master data, You can delete the records having Text as blank and then update to the Target Field.
Thanks
Sachin

Master data texts in the list of totals records

Dear all,
I am trying to display master data texts when doing a List of Totals records, but it is not available.
In my former projects, I always had the possibility to display master data texts by default.
Is there any configuration option that I should customize to solve the issue ?
Many thanks for your help

Master data/text of characteristic ZXVY already deleted

Hi,
while loading master data I am getting this error message and load for the package is failing.
"Master data/text of characteristic ZXVY already deleted."
Please let me know how I can rectify the same.
Thanks
Bhargava

Check if you can remove it from SM12.
If not (because it is not there), one of the notes says that you can write an ABAP code and run it to delete it.
I assume this is production, and you want a quick fix, so you may want to write a one-line code somewhere (for example in an obsolete infopackage - selection type ABAP routine) and run that. Check if you have access to write and test quick abap code somewhere (ie in SE30, or, in infopackage) the code would be something like
delete from rsmasd where CHABASNM ne space.
commit work.
I don't think its a problem if the load is running currently, this lock has existed from earlier so deleting it as soon as you can would be preferred.
