ODS object failing to activate

Hello All,
I will greatly appreciate your help with the following issue:
I have an ODS object that is failing to activate complaining that "Value 'HAGas Cartridge Actu.in safety enclosure  ' (hex. '00480041004700610073002000430061007200740072006900') of characteristic 0PROD_DESCR contains invalid characters"
If I am correct - invalid characters were uploaded to an InfoObject (0PROD_DESCR) and now the ODS object does not want to activate (0PROD_DESCR is an InfoObject inside the ODS object). To fix this - does a reload of this characterstic 0PROD_DESCR need to be done without the invalid characters?
Regards,
Keith Kibuuka

Hi Keith,
If you notice the data that is coming for the field 0PROD_DESCR.
One thing is it has data with lower case letters,
secondly from the error message you can notice that '." is also present.
If you analyse all the data in the request either in the PSA or in the active data table of the ODS you will find out what other special characters are used.
If you want to load the data as it is you can add the special chars in RSKC, the text ALL_CAPITAL is not sufficient.
If you do not want to add the special chars then you should edit the data in the PSA and reload the data in to the ODS and then activate the same
Assign points if useful

  • Error when transporting ODS Object

    Hi All,
    I got the following error when transporting ODS object.
    "The creation of the export DataSource failed"
    "RFC connection to source system QB1CLNT100 is damaged ==> no Metadata upload"
    "Error when creating the export DataSource and dependent Objects. Error when activating ODS Object 0FIGL_O10"
    Maybe somebody can help me.
    Thanks a lot and appreciate that,
    -Martin-

    hi Martin,
    check oss note 597326 - Activating ODS: Error when creating the export DataSource
    Symptom
    When you activate or transport ODS objects, the following errors appear in the log:
    "The creation of the export DataSource failed". Message number RSBM 035
    "Error &1 in function module &2". Message number RSBM 006
    "<b>Error when creating the export DataSource and dependent Objects</b>". Message number RSDODSO 169
    "Error when activating the ODS object &1". Message number RSDODSO 168
    Other terms
    RSBM 035, RSBM 006, RSDODSO 169, RSDODSO 168
    Reason and Prerequisites
    A characteristic involved is active but it is using new or inactive attributes.
    Characteristics involved are all characteristics used in the ODS object.
    Solution
    Check all characteristics involved as described in the following:
    Check the Compounding and Attributes tabs in the characteristics maintenance.
    All characteristics here must be active. This is displayed by a green icon.
    If this is not the case for a characteristic involved (a gray icon is displayed on one of the two tabs), activate the characteristic involved. This also activates the inactive dependent characteristics.
    After you have checked and repaired all the characteristics involved as described above, the loading/maintenance of master data should work again.

  • Error while activating ODS Object

    Hi,
    I have loaded the data from R/3 to a ODS Object and the activation of ODS failed due to the following errors as shown below..
    -Value '20060 ' of characteristic 0CALQUARTER is     not  plausible
    -Error when assigning SID (details in long text)
    -Activation of data records from ODS object ZODS_02 terminated
    -Error getting SID for ODS object ZODS_02
    I could see that Calendar Quarter as 20060 in PSA. How should i get rid of this error. Any idea would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Raj

    Raj,
       you are getting this calender qurter from SAP right... check in RSA3 fro the your Datasource. if you are getting same value like '20060'. you can do one thing... you can set 'No Update' in Transfer Rules. you can write a routine in Update Rules for populating the data for calender Week.
    you can call some standard function modules or you can write a small routine. If you want to write a routine check this thread...Re: Date to Quarter
    Possibilites:
    1. updtae rules
    2. if RSA3(PSA) shows the value of the Quarter as '20050', if it is custom extractor(Generic using FM) you can change this.
    3. If it is Standard Extractor or Generic Extractor (using either view/table or Infoset) you can enhance this. you can do the same thing in SAP Side.
    All the best.

  • Error activating ODS object.

    Hi Experts,
    None of the ODS objects gets activated and following are the error messages that i get when i try to activate a ODS object :
    Object ZRSMODS could not be activated
    <b>
    "</b>
    Message no. R7I028
    Transfer structure prefix for source system T90CLNT090 is not defined

    Diagnosis
    A prefix is defined for the source system for determining cross-system unique transfer structure names. This prefix is not defined between your source system T90CLNT090 and Warehouse T90CLNT090. There was probably an error when creating the source system.
    Procedure
    If you have not yet loaded data from this source system, delete the source system and then recreate it.
    If the problem occurs again, check the SAP Support Portal. Create a new problem message, if necessary.

    Pls send a solution asap. Thank you for the same.

    Hi Aravind,
    Have a look on the following points and see if they are satisfied in your case:
    Check all characteristics involved as described below:
    1. Check the Compounding and Attributes tabs in the characteristics maintenance.
    2. All characteristics here must be active. This is displayed by a green icon.
    If this is not the case for a characteristic involved (a gray icon is displayed on one of the two tabs), activate the characteristic involved. This also activates the inactive dependent characteristics.
    3. After you have checked and repaired all the characteristics involved as described above, the loading/maintenance of master data should work again.
    Because of this you may sometimes get the same error while activating the ODS object.
    Hope it helps...

  • How two join two ODS objects in an Infoset

    I have an infoset that is created on two ODS object, one ODS is a business content that contains more than 30 fields and 2 Key Fields, the second one that i created contains the 2 key fields plus one additional field which was initially missing in the original ODS. Then i created a Infoset with these two ODS, now the problem is i do not know how to link these two info objects and where to specify the join condition. i right clicked and selected left join, inner join etc. whatever i did and when i try to activate the infoset i keep getting this error "Not all objects are linked with ON conditions". How can i get rid of this please help
    Thanks
    Akila.R

    u will need to set the join between the key fields..
    place mouse on the key field in one ODS..hold mouse button and drag..and then drop cursor..on same key field in the 2nd ODS..u will see a line joining the key fields b/w the 2 ODS's..
    do same for other key fields too..
    the connected lines are the join condition..
    now activate..should work..

  • ODS activation failing with the reason : ODS not built properly"

    Hai,
             I have a process chain wherein I have an ODS thats being loaded and activated. The problem is that the load is successful but the activation is failing. When I see the process monitor, it says "DataStore ZXXXX built incorrectly; cannot update request REQU_******". When I checked this ods in RSRV, in test for ODS objects, the test for "Foreign Key Relationship of Reporting-Relevant ODS Object and SID Table Characteristics " failed with the errors like :"The SID values are missing for 2 specifications for characteristic ZLPORTG"
    Can somebody suggest me how I can solve this problem? It works fine in manual execution and the ODS shows the request is activated and the id is generated after activation.
    It is clearly a SID problem. Do I need to delete all data related to those objects everywhere in the system? I deleted data from that ODS and reloaded. But still the same problem!

    Hi,
    i think you should implement -Note 965599
    also check
    Note 961556 - DataStore (activation): Columns are initialized without rule
    Note 974833 - DataStore (activation): Columns initialized without rule
    Regards,
    San!

  • RSRV error - ODS objects !

    Hello All,
    I'm executing the RSRV test --> Foreign Key Relationship of Reporting-Relevant ODS Object and SID Table Characteristics
    and I get the error -
    SID values missing for 2 specifications of characteristic 0CALDAY
    As i understand some values of 0CALDAY are present in the ODS, but have no corresponding SID's in the SID table.
    How is this possible? That there are entries in the ODS but no corresponding SID's in SID table of 0calday.
    Please advise !
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Abhijit,
    One case can be that 'Activate even if no master data exists' option is selected and you have not selected the option for 'SID's generation upon activation'. This makes the ODS not suitable for reporting. Hope this helps.

  • How to bring a custom data element into another ods object

    I have an ods object which has a custom data element called customer purchase order number. I have another ods object which needs that custom data element. Both these ods objects are part of a multiprovider. How do I make the customer purchase order number available in the 2nd ods object? We are in SAP BW 3.5
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi Ramgopal,
    as suggested by experts, create or use the custom infoobject.
    go to change mode of ODS (2nd ODS) add custom infoobject into data or key fields (similar to 1st ODS), then update rules od 2nd ODS will be deactivated. go to change mode of update rules and map with the infoobjects which feeds dat to custom infoobject (similar to 1st ODS)
    if routine is used to populate data copy and paste same routine and check routine and activate.
    Hope this helps.

  • Process Chain problem related to Update ODS Object Data (Further Update)

    In the process chain, the data is loaded to an ODS first then feed to an InfoCube by kind of data mart load.  But when checking the process chain, getting yellow warning msg:
    A type "Update ODS Object Data (Further Update)" process has to follow process "Activate ODS Object Data" var.our_infopackage_name in the chain
    Message no. RSMPC016
    If we add the variant "Update ODS Object Data (Further Update) after the activation of the ODS and before the InfoPackage to feed data to the cube, then another yellow warning shows up for the InfoPackage of loading data to the InfoCube that says the Update variant can not be before the loading to this Cube and etc.
    What should we do to have the problem resolved?
    Thanks

    hey Dinesh,
    How to have a wait time for the load to the cube?
    I've given you "Very helpful" rewarding points and after you give the answer to the above, I will give you the "Solve problem" rewarding points.

  • Problem with activating ODS object.

    Hi experts,
    I've got a problem with the activation of an ODS object. I've transported this single object from T to A system. First I got an error because one InfoObject was not yet transported to A. After I succesfully transported this InfoObjec, I tried to transport the ODS object again. But now the ODS object is not activated. I cannot activate it by hand also.
    The following messages appear when I try to transport/activate this ODS object:
    "No active nametab exists for /BIC/AZODEFOP50>"
    "Termination due to inconsistencies"
    "BIC/ZODEFOP00 (statements could not be generated)"
    "Tabel /BIC/AZODEFOP50 could not be activated"    
    Does anybody know what is wrong and how i can solve it? I've tried to transport this ODS object several times but always the same problem. Even if I try to create this ODS object in A system by hand under the same name: ZODEFOP, I get the same errors when I want to activate it.
    Please help me!
    Thanx in advance,
    Rgds,

    Hi,
    Make sure that the self system is in active form in RSA1->Source system tree.
    And also make sure the RFC destination to self system is in active form.
    Some times self sytem inactive or wrong path in destinations to self one creates the problem in the activation of ODS.Becuse it has to create a DS on ODS.

  • Unable to see ODS Object in BEx.

    Hi all,
    I am unable to see an ODS object in BEx, which is an active ODS Object with data in modelling.
    Can any one show me a way out, how to find this ODS object in BEx as well.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards.

    Hi Robert Zovic
    Thanks for your answer,
    When I switced on th same..following is the eror message:
    The BEx Reporting was switched on for ODS object 0RPM_DS02 ---> long text
    Message no. RSDODSO157
    System response
    When activating ODS object 0RPM_DS02 SIDs have to be got for all characteristic values in the ODS tables, provided that these characteristic values are not already assigned any SIDs. This is required because the SIDs are used in BEx Reporting.
    The activation of ODS object 0RPM_DS02 can thus take a while longer.
    Procedure
    If the activation of ODS object 0RPM_DS02 terminates due to timeout you have to activate the ODS object with the program RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE in the background.
    I'm working on this, is there any other way out for the
    same.
    Thanks.
    Regards.
