ODS in Master data

Hi All,
I have loaded transaction data in ODS( 0FI_AP_4 ).And loaded master data in info Object (0PROJECT).I just want to develop the report from ODS.So i am trying add the master data info object in the ODS.
My query is to add this info object from transfer rule onwards ?
As this is a Project system report, i just want to compare project definition with WBS element. By which info object i can compare and pull the data.
Please help on this.
Thanks,
Ram.

hi,
If you want to generate a report for a particular cube then the info object should be present in Transfer rules,as weel as in Data Structure.
You can't add seperately in Query designing.

The error about loading data from ODS to master data.

hi,experts,when I load the data from ODS to master data,there is an error messege:
" InfoSource 8ZPA_0022 is not defined in the source system.
     Message no. R3005
Diagnosis
     The InfoSource 8ZPA_0022 specified in the data request, is not defined
     in the source system.
System response
     The data transfer is terminated.
Procedure
     In the Administrator Workbench of the Business Information Warehouse,
     update the metadata for this source system, and delete the InfoPackages
     belonging to InfoSources that no longer existing ."
But,the InfoSource 8ZPA_0022 is not problem,how can I do？thanks.

Hi,
as suggested by the message, did you update the meta data by doing a replication of datasources for the source system 'myself'? If not, do so and reactivate the communication structure. Then reload.

Loading from ODS to Master data Object

Hi Friends ,
Please let me know how to load from ODS to a master data object.
Thanks,
krishna

Hi Krishna,
If your master data is enabled as "Infoprovider" then you can use an export datasource on the ODS and load the data into your master data.
I am not sure if it will work if the master data info-object is not enabled as "Infoprovider".
The other mechanism would be to use an infospoke to download the ODS data into a flatfile. And then use the flatfile to upload the master data.
Hope this helps.

ODS vs Master Data

We have a need to bring in and store 100s of millions of records from external database into BW via DB Connect. This data is only used in the ABAP code of virtual key figure. It will never be a part of any BW InfoProvider. Number of columns is 5. After initial data loads, we would have about 2 million records coming in every day.
I didn't want to create a plain old Z table because I felt lazy to write an ABAP program to extract and load the data.
I could have created an ODS, but I thought it might take a long time to activate the data every day after loading 2 million records.
I chose to create an InfoObject with attributes to store this data. Everything is fine, but the initial loads are going very slow in the QA system. About the half the speed an ODS would have loaded.
Is this an expected behavior? Are ODS tables optimized for data loads while master data tables are not? Is there something I can do to speed up the loads into master data tables?
Thanks for your time.

Forgot to mention that we are on BW 3.0.

Bi 7.0 for cube and master data steps

hi friends,
can u give me step by step comparision between bi 7.0 and bi 3.0 for cube ods and master data, ple explaing me what are the steps difference for those in bi 7.0 .
and reporting is same or any difference in bi 7.0 .
other than sap.help.com material, if u have any other or any screen shots. ple send me.
Thanking u
suneel.

what abt master data, in master data we are using only transfer rules, here also we are using transformation and dtp again.
Yes we would be using transformations and DTP's on the masterdata too. but the system would prompt to make IO a infoprovider in order to use the new functionality. There is another work around for it, but we can discuss it later, orelse search the forum for that option, i have replied to couple of questions regarding that.
what abt reporting any things other than calculated kf restricted kf, filters rows columns, free chaststics, variables, any chnages in screen.
The basic functionality of all the above mentioned objects havent changes, and the query designer itself, there are hell a lot of changes in the appearance and it will take a while to get used to it and find your way with all the functionalities.
i have doubt bps menas businees planning simulation what is this, bec i have idea we can use transactional cube and transactional ods for write accress for planninmg also
BPS is something I have no clue abt... (you dont see me answering in Business planning forum)

Query create on Master Data for the items that has not shipped

Hi all,
Is it possible to report/query on Items on Master Data that has not inoviced or has not been shipped?
Running query on Sales overview cube will not bring the right data since that cube only captures the items that was invoiced. Please help!
Thanks in advance,
BW
P:S Points will be assigned.

Hi,
if u are using BI-7 for scenarios like this they have designed info set to include 2 cubes,
as info set brings intersection data u can opt for infoset, build info set on cube and ur master data then u will get the result this will be better as per performance issue.
if u are using BW then if data flow is from ODS -> CUBE then u can build infoset on ODS and master data it will be good.
if u want replacement path then u have to use RRI that is report to report interface. build char variable on ur info object in cube query so that it will brings orders which are shipped.
then build another char variable in master data query and processing type as replacement path to char var built on first query. and exclude those values which first var brings.
assign points if it helps,
thanks,

Delta for cubes & master data

Bonjour,
I am a bit confused about some concepts of BW. Hope to get clarified here in good ole SDN.
1. Infocube is said to be ADD only. Yet, its data deletable eg. by request. How do I interpret this? Is it deletable only by requests? How about selectively as detail as single records? How about field level deletion (instead of a whole record)?
2. Is a 'new' image (rec mode "N") = 'after' image (rec mode " ")?
3. How is Repair Request compared to Pseudo Delta? Are they both only and must selectively delete by month / time char only? Can either be deleted by single records?
4. Master data is said to be usually overwritten. How is it so? What Delta type(s) are we talking about by this? How is Master data aggregated? Can it be? What does serialization and duplicate master data processing mean? How can master data prevent duplicates?
What's the usual and possible practices to manage delta for Master data attr,txt,hier?
Awaiting your reply.
best regards,
Pascal Gabin

1. Infocube is said to be add only because it is different from ODS or master data where you can 'merge or overwrite' data. When 2 records are loaded into an Infocube, if they are different in any one field, they will be stored as 2 seperate records (in the fact table of the cube). Whereas if 2 records are loaded into an ODS, and the records are similar in terms of the key of the ODS, only 1 record will be created in the ODS with the second records details overwriting the first if there is a clash.
From a cube you can delete data either selectively by specifying ranges or delete an entire request. You cannot do field level deletions.
2. No they are different. Let us say there is a record with 2 fields Customer and Amount being loaded into an ODS. First record loaded is (Pascal, 10.00). Then there will be a New-image record (Pascal, 10.00,N). After this a second record (Pascal, 15.00) is loaded. After this there will be 3 records.
Pascal, 10.00, New Image
Pascal, -10.00, Before Image
Pascal, 15.00, After Image.
All 3 add to 15.00.
3. Not able to understand your question. Deletion of all requests are I think the same. Selective deletion can be done only for a Infocube not for an ODS. See answer 1.
4. Master data usually changes very little. For eg, a customer 100013 is always 100013. Once in a while his phone number might change. When it does, it is picked up by the delta and the existing record in BW is overwritten. There is only one type of delta for master data. Not sure of what is the exact name. Master data is aggregated by specifying the key to the master data table.
The best practice is to maintain delta only for large master data objects (Customers, Materials etc). For all of these SAP has provided delta-enabled datasources which can be used. For the rest, full-uploads suffice.

Master Data Logic!

Hi
Can anyone tell me what is Master Data Concept??
Tell me in clear Idea.
1. What is Direct & Flexible update??
2. How the Master Data object in ODS or Cube is loaded??
3.When we delete master data object which is used in Data Targets, why some data is not deleted?
Thanks

hii,
InfoSource Types
There are basically two types of InfoSources.
InfoSources with flexible updating
InfoSources with direct updating
In both cases uploaded data is transformed by the transfer rules, which have been created for the current combination of InfoSource and source system and for each InfoObject of the communication structure. A data target can be defined by several InfoSources which in turn can be defined by several source systems.
An InfoSource for hierarchies can only be defined by one source system.
For characteristics, attributes or texts, a combination of flexible and direct updating is only possible for different source systems.
InfoSources with Flexible Updating
For an InfoSource with flexible updating, the data from the communications structure is loaded into the data targets (InfoCubes, ODS objects, master data) using update rules. Several data targets can be defined by one InfoSource. The InfoSource can contain transaction data as well as master data.
This function is not implemented for hierarchies.
Before Release 3.0A only transaction data could be updated flexibly and it was only possible to update master data directly. Master data InfoSources were therefore distinguished from transaction data InfoSources. This is no longer the case as of Release BW 3.0A, since both transaction data and master data can be updated flexibly. You therefore cannot immediately see if it the InfoSource handles transaction data or master data with flexible updating. You should therefore specify which is the case when you define an InfoSource.
You have the following update options:
The data from InfoSources with master data or transaction data can be stored directly in ODS objects.
You can then update from ODS objects into further ODS objects, InfoCubes or master data tables using update rules.
It is also possible to update in InfoCubes or master data tables without having to switch between ODS objects.
InfoSources with Direct Updating
Master data (characteristics with attributes, texts or hierarchies) of an InfoObject can be updated directly (without update rules, only using transfer rules) to the master data table with an InfoSource with direct updating. To do this you must assign it application components. The characteristic is subsequently displayed in the InfoSource tree in the Administrator Workbench. You are able to assign DataSources and source systems to the characteristic from here. You are also able to load master data, texts, and hierarchies for the characteristic.
In the following cases you are not able to use an InfoObject as an InfoSource with direct updating:
The characteristic that you want to modify is characteristic 0SOURSYSTEM (source system ID).
The characteristic has neither master data, texts nor hierarchies. It is therefore impossible to load data for the characteristic.
The characteristic that you want to modify turns out to be a unit or a key figure.
To generate an export DataSource for a characteristic, the characteristic must also be an InfoSource with direct updating.

No Source Fields(But wants to read attributes of another master data infoob

Hi
Im planning to use the 2LIS_03_BF datasource. I have two master data infoobjects(0PRODVERS_ATTR, 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR).
Im loading data from 2LIS_03_BF in DSO . But this datasource doesn't contains the source fields for master data infoobjects 0PRODVERS_ATTR, 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR.
So hw can i read the attributes of these master data infoobjects. please let me know
kumar

Hi
You can write a routine for this purpose we call it lookup in bw terms ie if the field isnt present in the source then you can take the values from the other targets may it be ods or master data and the selection is based on the keyfields in both the targets ie source field and the target from which the field has to be picked.
lets say i want customer Number from the MD Customer and i dont have customer number in the souce field so i will write a routine in the start routine to select customer number from customer master data put the field in the internal table and then write a update routine in the field customer number that reads the values into the work area from the internal table and then put the result in the result field from work area.
below is the syntax.
TYPES:BEGIN OF t_custnumber,
***declare the fields u will be using including the keyfileds in the souce**
customer number type /bic/0customer number
END OF t_custnumber.
........internal table to read data into......
DATA : i_custnumber.TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_custnumber.
work area to read data from internal table
DATA : wa_custnumber TYPE t_custnumber,
select
customer number
x
y
from table customer
into i_custnumber
where
x= x of data package ie below ods (source)
y = y of data package ie below ods (source)
The above routine comes in the start routine
Now for the update routine
read table i_custnumber into wa_custnumber with key
x= x of comm_strucute ie below ods (source)
y = y of comm_strucute ie below ods (source)
Result =wa_custnumber-customer number
in start routine the souce table is called as data package but in case of update routine the same souce table is termed as communication structure thus comm_strucuture.
hope this is handy information assign points if applicable
thanks

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.

First Loading of Master data into ODS

Hello BW gurus,
I have read the below mentioned sentence in a material stating that
'By using flexible updating, it is possible to write master data from different sources into a consolidated object (master data ODS object) before this is stored in individual master data tables.'
1) why master data from different sources is being written into ODS first , before it is stored in individual Master Data tables ?
2) Is every master data from source systems first loaded into ODS before it is stored in individual Master Data tables?

hi,
1) why master data from different sources is being written into ODS first , before it is stored in individual Master Data tables ?
Ans - In real time scenarios y may have to load data from various source system (liks sap,non sap,flat file).also more than on r3 source system is also possible. hence to have consolidation of the master data based on source system we load master data to ods first. but is not always. one few master datas like - Batch number,delivery number,invoice number. u can also load directly to master data tables using direct update.
2) Is every master data from source systems first loaded into ODS before it is stored in individual Master Data tables?
not mandatory, it depends on requirement.

Master Data uploaded to ODS not generated automatically

Hello gurus!!
I have an issue with a query that gets its information from and ODS.
After the variable selection is done the error message:
"Value '' (hex. '') of characteristic contains invalid characters"
"System error in program SAPLRRK0 and form RSRDR;SRRK0F30-01-" (BRAIN 299 )
If you go to the ODS you can see the lines correctly but you can't see them on the Bex query.. workbooks.. etc.
The issue has the following remarks:
1. Comes up on certain selection (not all)
2. The issue lies over the uploaded data from ECC system..
3. Data is loaded directly (meaning it doesn't have any other ODS or object between ECC and it self..
4. The Infopackage is loading information and it has the "Always update data, even if no master data exists for the data" flag marked. But it doesn't update master data correctly for 2 characteristcis.. meaning it updates data for most but some lines are in the ODS that don't exist in the MD..
5. Both these characteristics are texts.. and if I add a blank space or delete it from R3 and delete and reload in BW it works correctly.. But there are to many issues and its very time consumin to solve one line at a time.
6. Both these Characteristics hace there sid table but they cant be maintained since they don't have Master data table or views..
I've tried using RSRV transaction so solve it, since it detects SID issues but it doesn't work..
I've also tried marking the "Lowercase Letters" flag in the characteristics and reloading but it doesn't work eather..
I've searched for SAP notes but haven't been able to find a note that could solve this issue..
I appreciate your help.
Best regards and thank you..
Jorge

Hi Jorge,
First check data in PSA, if it has any invalid charecters and then check in ODS, Problem is with data it seems

ODS not picking one particular master data record

Hi All,
Problem is when we run a query on ODS,it is not displaying the one particular data records.Then we check the ods that particular record values are not available,but it is in master data tables.
My question is what will be the reason for this.we are using Generic extraction.
thanks

Hi,
Check for primary keys of master data tables and key fields of ODS . I think there should be mismatch which is why some records are getting overwritten.
Also in the ods request check number of records transfered and number of records added.
ODS key fields should be exactly same as Primary key of master data table otherwise there are chances of loosing data.
Hope that helps.

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.......
