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.

while loading I'm getting this error "Master data/Text of Characteristic ZMAT already deleted"
and loading is failing.
So when I try to loading again sometime loading is completed but sometime is failed with this error.
I try to find out root cause and I check table RSMASD there is ZMAT entry this table.
How do I remove the entry?
How can I fixed this problem ??
Now my SAP BW is 3.0 B and support package 26
Hope this helps...

Hi,
Check table RSMASD or SM12 for an entry there.
RSMASD should be blank normally.

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.

Master data text deletion-urgent pls

Hello
Is there any other way to delete the master data text from the text table other than deleting from SE11 or SE16?
the delete option is greyed out in SE16 and SE11.
Is there any other way to delete the entries without affecting other objects?
Regards
Sri
Points will be assigned

Hello

This is the problem i face.
Also as lakshman said when i delete the entry or record from
Master data text it asks how to delete with or with out sids.
Iam afraiding to delete because of data volume of transaction data.

Delete unused master data of a characteristic in BW7.30

Hi
I try to delete some master data entries in a characteristic.
Unfortunately I got an error message:
Lock of master data attributes deletion is set.
Then BW 7.30 set an entry for the characteristic in the table RSMASD (Lock Table for Master Data Deletion) and I canu2019t delete the master data.
I try to delete the master data via a job (maintain master data) and manually (select the wrong master data in the table -> delete and save the table), but I get the same error message above.
I also delete all open lock entries in SM12 and try again, but wonu2019t solve the issue.
Can someone explain me why BW 7.30 set the master data lock and how I can delete the unused master date of this characteristic?
Best regards
Tobias

Anyone with a solution for this? We have the exact same problem.
Can the record in RSMASD be deleted?
I created a new InfoObject and inserted a new masterdata text record. Then I tried to delete it immediatly, and i got the same error. If the object is in RSMASD, it gives a shortdump in ST22. If there's no record in RSMASD, then it gives a error (Lock not set...)

Error analysis
    In the Open SQL work area operation used, the work area in the key part
    must be convertible to a database table.
    For Unicode semantics this means the Unicode fragment views must
    correspond in length to the databse key.
    In non-Unicode systems, both structures must be flat for the length of
    the database key, with the exception of string components. This means
    that the key parts may not contain either references or internal tables.
    In this case the key of the database table has a width of 14 bytes.

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.

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

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 )

How to create master data/text for an info object

Hi All,
I am working on a report and having a problem with an info object since it has no master data. This characteristic is supposed to be in the selection parameters and also should contain key and text in it. Since there is no master data for this info object there is no text and keys don't come up. Does any one knows how to add master data to this info object without reloading the ODS?
Thanks

Mike,
You shold load the master data into BW first,
othere wise you can do one thing
goto infopackage and schedule where in the update tab select the radio button
Always update the data,even if no masterdata is exist for that.

Hi,
With Master Data:
If you set this indicator, the characteristic may have attributes. In this case the system generates a P table for this characteristic. This table contains the key of the characteristic and any attributes that might exist. It is used as a check table for the SID table. When you load transaction data, there is check whether there is a characteristic value in the P table if the referential integrity is used.
With Maintain Master Data you can go from the main menu to the maintenance dialog for processing attributes.
The master data table can have a time-dependent and a time-independent part.
In attribute maintenance, determine whether an attribute is time-dependent or time independent.
With Texts:
Here, you determine whether the characteristic has texts.
If you want to use texts with a characteristic, you have to select at least one text. The short text (20 characters) option is set by default but you can also choose medium-length texts (40 characters) or long texts (60 characters).

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.

Eugene

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.
