Need help in loading master data.

Hi everyone,
I am just a beginner in BI 7.0 . I know Bw 3.5 . I need help in loading master data(flat file) in a step by step manner.
Before posting this forum i searched and checked out other related forums too, as i am a beginner i am unable to follow them. Lots of the forums gave the help.sap.com link which i used and got a little help but not fully, so please don't send that link. I need a step by step guideline from somebody, which says everything from the beginning till monitoring say like
e.g.. 1) create a InfoObject by right clicking on InfoObject catalog.
something like that.
please help me get a clear and detail step by step procedure to load a master data (Flat File should be good) which may help me get a start will other things without much help.
Please help me learn.
Thanks.
Ranjani.

HI,
Thanks for your reply. This is what i did.
1) Created a Info Area.
2) Created Info object catalog & activated
3) created info object with nothing except some 4 attributes.
4) Created Application compound in Infosource tab.
5) Right clicked on Application compound and chose create Infosource in which chose a option with 3.x and chose the flexible update and gave the info object name.
6) In info provider tab , in the Info Area right clicked and chose the Insert char as data target option.
Now, i am stuck. I have no idea what to do next.
I know i have to create a transformation - There are two tabs in Transformation box, what should i do there.
Please help me from point 6 to cont., to load the data.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the answers. I tried loading it yesterday, i had lot of confusions.
What should i do to load a master data from a R/3 to BI7.0.
1. Created a Info object named (EKKO_mas) with some attributes (ernam, ekorg, lifnr).
2. Go to info provider and right clicked on info area and selected insert char as data target. (Please correct if i am wrong).
3. Login to R/3, go to sbiw generic data source created one with a view/table as EKKO and map the application compound and select the needed fields by checking the checkbox. (please correct if wrong).
4. Go to source system tab and replicate data source. ( Please correct if i am wrong)
Then what should i do.
guessing steps:
4. Create a Data source, in BI 7.0 . In that as i am not using flat file, should i select "application server" instead of "local workstation" . In field tab i specified all the fields given in Info object. ( Will there be anything else i should do or change in this tab)
5. Load data in PSA. ( will the data from R/3 i selected loaded in PSA without any problem)
6. Create transformation , save and activate.
7. Create DTP save and activate , click execute.
By doing the above given step will i be able to load the master data from R/3 to BI 7.0 data target (IO) . Please help me if something is wrong with my steps.
Thanks.

CTL(control file) need help to load column data in test file as row data

Dear Experts,
My data file having data like
COMPANY1 SUPP1 SUPPTYP1 SUPPDISTANCE1...SUPP100 SUPPTYP100 SUPPDISTANCE100
COMPANY2 SUPP1 SUPPTYP1 SUPPDISTANCE1...SUPP100 SUPPTYP100 SUPPDISTANCE100
i am trying to load in to oralc table desc as bellow and trying to load this into row data how can i do?
this ctl will load only for first suppliler only how can i load rest 99 supplier
LOAD DATA
INFILE '/data/Supplier.dat'
INSERT
INTO SUPPLIERDETAIL
COMP_CD position(1:8) char(8),
SUPPLR_ID position(9:15) char(7),
LOC_ID position(16:20) char(5),
SUPPLR_DIST position(21:24) char(4),
SUPPLR_TYP position(25:) char(1)
Many thanks
Kalinga

I take it that you are running the process on UNIX box based on '/data/Supplier.dat'.
Try to –
1. Break the records into multiple lines > Try using awk/ or perl
COMPANY1 SUPP1 SUPPTYP1 SUPPDISTANCE1...SUPP100 SUPPTYP100 SUPPDISTANCE100
COMPANY2 SUPP1 SUPPTYP1 SUPPDISTANCE1...SUPP100 SUPPTYP100 SUPPDISTANCE100
Should appear in your output file as –
COMPANY1 SUPP1 SUPPTYP1 SUPPDISTANCE1
COMPANY1 SUPP100UPPTYP100 SUPPDISTANCE100
COMPANY2 SUPP1 SUPPTYP1 SUPPDISTANCE1
COMPANY2 SUPP100UPPTYP100 SUPPDISTANCE100
2. Output from 1 -> Save it to a file
3. Pass the output (point 2) as the Input file for the CTL to read
Etbin’s Solution is fine but don’t forget you have for each row 100 occurrences of Supplier information – so that makes 100 INTO Table’s code to put into your CTL file.

Loading Master Data - Help

Hello Friends,
I have a current program loading Master Data through program.... basically it loads data reading from multiple ODSs and master data tables into another ODS through ABAP program ... during this process it also loads the Masterdata (i have the sample Master data load part below...).
Now my question is, instead of loading like this, can i just bring the BC object 0MATERIAL and assign the other related objects (please check the sample code below..) as the attributes and load data to this 0MATERIAL...
Can i do this ?
also which one is better on performance aspect ?
All useful answers would be awarded points ...

BPC Error while loading master data from SAP BW

Hello Guru,
I have NW BPC 7.5 installed on BW server. Currently i have started to work on one application where i have to load master data first. I am loading master data for cost center.
I looked into the process chain "BPC: Import BW InfoObject master data" and i found that few processes are in GREEN color and few are in RED color (Display). is that correct or not ? then as per some of the thread i went to "BPC: Convert BW infoObject master data" --> SOURCE_TYPE = IP and added one parameter "FORMULA_FILE_NO". Then i saved this process chain and activated it.
I created transformation file in BPC and it got created successfully but while i try to load packages it throws me error.
Q. Do i need to have entire process chain with all processes in GREEN to have the master data in BPC ?
Q. Do i need to activate any BADI's for this or not ?
I appreciate your help in advance. I trie

Loading master data in BI production

Dear Experts,
While loading master data in BI production we are facing error when updating IDOCS.
__MONITOR ADMINISTRATOR WORKBENCH__
STATUS:
ERROR:Error when updating IDOCS in source system.
DIAGNOSIS:Errors have been reported in source system during IDOCS Update
SYSTEM RESPONSE:Some IDOCS have error status
PROCEDURE:
Check the IDOCS in source system.You do this using the extraction monitor.
ERROR:How you ressolve the errors depends on the error message you get.
SO can anyone tell why this type of errors occured? What will be the reason behind this?
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
Bunty.

Hi Bunty,
Your Idoc error is a general error, the first of all will be to know what is the concrete error with the Idoc, for this reason, please do the following checks and let us know the results:
1.-) Execute the tx.code SM58. BD87 and WE05 and give us your feedback, tell us for each tx,.code if some errors are shown.
2.-) Do you display some error if you go to tx.code SM59 - Select RFC Destination "Source system" -> Authorization test?
3.-) Please ensure that your remote user has the correct authorization profiles in both BW and R/3. You need to set your
     profiles for ALEREMOTE as such:
   1) in BW -> the remote user (usually 'ALEREMOTE') must have
       profile 'S_BI-WHM_RFC'
   2) in R/3 -> the remote user (usually 'ALEREMOTE') must have
       profile 'S_BI-WX_RFC'
This is explained in more detail in note 150315.
Also, you must ensure that you have sufficient DIA processes in both your BW and R/3 systems. DIA work processes are necessary for the processing of IDOC's. And if there are not sufficient DIA work processes, the load may hang in status 'yellow'. Note 561880 gives more information about this:
1. Make sure there is always sufficient DIA, that is, at least 1 DIA more than all other work processes altogether, for
      example, 8 DIA for a total of 15 work processes (see also note 74141)."
4.- ) Please identify if the Idocs get hanged in the the source system, and if these Idocs cannot be processed manually in        Tcode SM58 please implement the correction from note 1280898. // I hope it helps you. Best regards. Fran.

Load master data on server startup

need to store the master data in cache on server restart
any help would be arretiated.
Thanks

Try to implement a javax.servlet.ServletContextListener and inside implementation of
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) method write your Code to Pull up master data from respective Datasource bind it to a Java Object Something like a JavaBean or some random Collection class would be appropriate & finally save it under the scope of ServletContext or use a Static type to cache the Master data Object in the memory.
Adn configure the Listner in your web.xml accordingly.
Or
Write your code inside init(ServletConfig config) method of a servlet and make sure you configure the servlet in such a way that it executes init(ServletConfig config) method at the time of intialization (in web.xml under servlet configuration you use <load-on-startup/>)
and the rest if same as that of what i mentioned for ServletContext listener.
Hope that might answer your question.

Steps to load master data to BW from R3

Hi Gurus,
Can you please give me step by step process to load master data to BW from R3 using an enhanced business content datasource.
Thanks,
Regards,
aarthi
[email protected]

Hi Aarthi,
1. You will need to replicate your datasource into BW.
2. Assign the datasource to an InfoSource and activate the transfer rules.
3. If you are doing flexible updates then you need to have update rules from this InfoSource to your InfoObject to which you want to load this data.
4. Create an InfoPackage in RSA1 > Modeling > InfoSources, under the InfoSource to which you assigned the datasource.
5. Make any selections for data is reqd and select if this will be a full or init load.
6. Execute (Start the load) and check the data load monitor (F6 in the InfoPackag) to see if the data laod is going on smoothly.
7. After the load is complete, activate the master data.
Hope this helps...

Loading Master data into BPS through layouts

Hi SAP Gurus,
Is it possible to load the master data into BI-BPS through layouts(in BI 7.0
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
if its combination of charactertics & keyfigures, then you need to load master data in Info objects(Characterstics) and for key figures you can load directly in the layout, once you save it , these values get saved back in Cube.
Hope this helps

Loading Master Data Version 7.0

I am having a problem loading the master data for an infoprovider. I have assigned several characteristics and have created the various transformations, infosources and data sources to populate the infoobject with master data. However when executing the DTP I get a error stating that the InfoCube is marked for Real Time and it cannot be loaded. Don´t really know why this is...do I need a Plug-In for the Real-Time upload?
Thanks for the help.

Thank you. Yes, I am sure I am loading an InfoObject, it is assigned to an InfoArea and therefore can be used as an InfoProvider, however it is a Characteristic to be used in DP. I have no problem loading InfoCubes. The problem I have is loading master data from R/3 to the respective attriubutes that I have assigned to the InfoObject. Here is the scenario.
InfoObject: S_PEDIDOR
Attributes:
S_CLIENH1
S_CLIENH2
S_CLIENH3
S_CLIENH4
S_VKBUR
S_BZIRK
S_PARVW
S_VKGRP
S_GRDMAND
The attributes come from the field names in R/3. I have created the data source in R/3 and transfered the metadata to APO. I have created an InfoSource and the transf. from the DataSource to the InfoSource. I have also loaded an InfoPackage with success to a PSA. I have also created the transf. from the InfoObject Attributes to the InfoSource. I have assigned the infoobjects in the respective fields in the transformation. I have no masterdata for the InfoObject S_PEDIDOR. I cannot create a DTP for the InfoObject cause it tells me that it cannot load the data in a Real-Time destination.
The question is: How do I load master data from a R/3 DataSource to the master data of an InfoObject

Loading Master Data into a DSO

Hi Experts,
I am unable to analyse whether loading data from Master Data InfoObject into a DSO will cause performance issues or will that work fine.
I was trying to do the same. Awaiting for your inputs on that.
Thanks,
Vijay

Latha,
Loading master data into a DSO can be done using the following steps:
1) Right click on the DSO and select Create transformation... option.
2) In the dialog box that appears, select Object Type as InfoObject and in the text box right below you give the name of the object.
3) In Subtype of Object selection, select attribute or text as per your needs.
4) select ok and you should see the transformation, map and activate the transformation.
5) create DTP and run it.
Hope this helps, [ you got my name wrong im vijay]

Loading Master data using DTP's

Hi,
I have got a problem with loading master data,we use DTP's for loading it,but the requests were failing due to prior incorrect requests for that master data infoobject,inspite of the fact that Master data always overwrites and also the DTP's were full update enabled.
To load successfully we need to go and delete the previous requests all the time.
I think there must be some way of solving this problem,help from you all will be really appreciated.
Regards,
G.Monica Roja Flora.

yeah you would need to delete the incorrect requests before you can load again. Though the master data is overwrite, with the incorrect request the status can never be A.

Loading Master Data into ODS

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to load the master data into the ODS?
Thanks
Yadav
Edited by: yadav on Apr 12, 2008 8:04 PM

Dear Yadav,,
U can load the master data to ur ODS..
The Process is same as loading Transaction Data into ODS but..
1. U need to do flexible Update instead of Direct Update...
2. Maintain all the Attributes in ur DATA part...
3. The record on which Updation depends should reside in the KEY FIELD section.
But there is difference in loading master data to info object and ODS..
If loaded in Info Objects..REusability is there.
But in ODS no reusability...
Hope this helps u...
Assign points if helpful...

VVenkat..

Load Master Data in BW

Hi all,
I am having one doubt while loading Master Data In BW.
Let's say , i am loading 0Customer in BW.
It is having Customer Attribute and Customer Text.
Now i am having question is. Which data we have to load first? Do we need to load Attribute first and then Text or vice versa.
Please specify the reason.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Macwan James.

Hi,
As per my understanding,u can do it in any order since u they are going to get loaded to different tables, usually attribute is given preference over text.But master data is loaded before transaction data since it improves performance as SID's will get generated during master data load.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Rathy
