Master data text and ods

can i load the master data text and ods parallely?

Hi Abby,
If your ODS contains a characteristic value of an infoobject and you want to load master data (texts and attributes) of this IO, you'd better load master data first (not in parallel), then transaction data.
You can do it in a process chain.
Such a sequence will prevent the possible ODS activation failure.
Best regards,
Eugene

Master Data Text and Attributes

Guys,
I read some posts on sdn regarding differences between master data texts and attributes and now I am a little confused. I thought attributes define a char. then what does text do? Does it not define or describe the char as well? If both are doing the same thing then why do we need both ? I am not sure if my understanding is correct. Please help me.
Thanks,
RG

Hi Ram,
To understand in a better way little bit of R/3 work would have been helpful.
In R/3 Every entity has master data maintained like customer, material, plant etc.
If you would see a customer in R/3 you can see it has lots of information..like address,telephone number,street company name, etc.
And along with it we have customer name...i.e. description..(text)
Now in R/3...text tables are generally maintained separately then master data tables...it can be together as well.
Something like for you Ram Goswami is descrption(text) for the user ID XXXXXXX in SDN.
Email ID and company name is the master data stored here for him.
BW has used the same modelling concept to keep the text table separate from the msater data table.
It creates to separate data target for master data and text so that two seperate tables can be maintained in BW and you have to load the data in both to see the master as well as text.
Since we have separate master data table and text table in R/3 therefore we have separate data sources as well based on them.
You would like to have you master data table exactly as the master data table of R/3 so you will add attributes in the infoobject 0customer and it will create a P table for 0customer...keep adding attributes to make the columns in the table and to make the exact copy of R/3 table i.e. to bring all the information from R/3 about customer master you add attributes in the 0customer.The data soiurce based on this table in R/3 will contain the fields from the table.
Now you do the mappings with fields between infoobject and data source and load the data ...so master data is loaded.
For text...once you check the text option in infoobject..SAP creates a new table Tcustomer in the background..
Now you have to do the mappings for this as well through the data source based on the text table in R/3.
In some cases the master data table contains text as well and in that case you use the same data source based on this table to create two separate update rules one for master data object and another one for text object and do the mappings accordingly.
In this case you schedule the load to both the target at the same time and data gets loaded.
but for different data sources you will have to schedule the load separately.
Once data loaded for this...now you can use it in the report and see the text as well as master data attributes in the reports and there values.
I hope that was more then enough
Thanks

Can't get master data text and attributes

Hi,
I have a BEx query report which is reading data from a virtual infocube in BI7.0 environment. In this query report I need to display the company code and also its long text and 3 of the company code master data's attributes.
My company code master data has been loaded and its data activated. However when I ran this BEx query report, I could not see the long text and 3 of the company code master data's attributes.
I know this is not a problem for a basic infocube but will this query report able to do the same when reading data straight from a virtual infocube?
Please let me know.

Hi
I had tried all sorts - attribute change run and manually activating the master data. Still doesnt work.

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.

InfoProvider: infoObject (master data attribute and text)

I saw info Object of master data attribute and text in InfoProvider.
are infoObject act like a table when we do query on them.

Hi
Refer to this as down
Custome Infoobjects Tabels:
/BIC/M -- View of Master data Tables
/BIC/P -- Master data Table, Time Independent attributes
/BIC/Q -- Master data Table, Time Dependent attributes
/BIC/X -- SID Table, Time Independent
/BIC/Y -- SID Tabel, Time Dependent
/BIC/T -- Text Table
/BIC/H -- Heirarchy Table
/BIC/K -- Heirarchy SID Table
Standard Infoobjects Tabels(Buss. Content):
Replace "C" with "0" in above tables.
Ex: /BI0/M -- View of Master data Tables

SID table in the general tab and master data/text tab

Hello Bi Experts,
For example 0material Info-object:
There is a SID table in the general tab i.e /BI0/SCOMP_CODE
There is another SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab i.e /BI0/XCOMP_CODE,here there are Nav attributes with name S__0COMPANY.
When i got 0company info-object it got its own SID table i.e /BI0/SCOMPANY
Can some body explain me what is significance of SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab and what is difference with SID Table of attribute?
Cheers,
Stalin

Hi,
SID is surrogate ID generated by the system. The SID tables are created when we create a master data IO. In SAP BW star schema, the distinction is made between two self contained areas: Infocube & master data tables/SID tables.
The master data doesn't reside in the satr schema but resides in separate tables which are shared across all the star schemas in SAP BW. A numer ID is generated which connects the dimension tables of the infocube to that of the master data tables.
The dimension tables contain the dim ID and SID of a particular IO. Using this SID the attributes and texts of an master data Io is accessed.
The SID table is connected to the associated master data tables via teh char key
Sid Tables are like pointers in C
Tables Starting with Description:
M - View of master data table
Q - Time Dependent master data table
H - Hierarchy table
K - Hierarchy SID table
I - SID Hierarchy structure
J - Hierarchy interval table
S - SID table
Y - Time Dependent SID table
T - Text Table
F - Fact Table - Direct data for cube ( B-Tree Index )
E - Fact Table - Compress cube ( Bitmap Index )

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Basic question on Master data reporting on ODS

Hello All,
Recently I had a requirement, where they need to see the master data report ( with its attributes and attributes of attributes (transitive attribute)). Hence I loaded the master data on a ODS, to turn on the Navigational attributes.........
For e.g.: Requirement:
Master data : 0EQUIPMENT
ATTRIBUTE: 0SHIP_TO
ATTRIBUTE of ATTRIBUTE: 0SHIP_TO_REGION
Question: The report is working fine...... but I have a doubt whether the report (built on the ODS with no Key figures) will populate the master data for which there is no Key figures are maintained in ECC???
Please let me know your ideas and views.......

Hi........
I think it will be better if u use Infoobject to store master data......here also u can turn attributes to Navigational attribute....u can activate that infoobject as dataprovider and do the Reporting as you do it now for the ods object. .........The master data approach will additionally give you the possibility to add navigational attributes to fulfil more reporting requirements..........In RSA1.............Infoprovider >> Right click >> Insert that Infoobject as Infoprovider............

Debjani.......

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
