Problems with language dependent master data

Hi,
I created a InfoObject with language dependent master data and I am trying to upload data from a flat file.
My flat file has a 2 digit language code (EN,DE,FR,JP,ES) and when uploading the data it seems that SAP BW is only using the first digit which leads to the situation that EN and ES get treated as duplicate records.
Any help would be appreciated
thanks
Ingo Hilgefort

Hi,
ES is the Language for spanish..But the Flat file should have to represent 'S' for Spanish.
Check in Table T002 for the symbols which represent Languages and that to be used in flat file.

  • Problem with Time dependent master data

    Dear All,
    I have 0PERSON master data infoobject. It is getting records extracted from backend R3 and from a different datasource called 'Peoplesoft'. It has a field 'Date of Birth'. Point of concern here is - whether a particular employee is present in Peoplesoft or in R3, his date of birth is constant. Unfortunately someone hs made 'Date of Birth' as a time dependent attribute of the InfoObject 0PERSON.
    We extract data from Peoplesoft from 01.01.1900 to 31.07.2005. From 01.08.2005 onwards, data is getting extracted from R3.There are some employees which are present in Peoplesoft but they are not in R3.
    Problem is occuring when the user is reporting on a relevant Infocube containing this 0PERSON infoobject. He does not see the value for this 'Date of Birth' field for certain employees. The reason for this is that the 'Date of Birth' field is blank in the interval 01.08.2005 - 31.12.9999 as this employee was absent in R3 and hence no record/s got extracted.
    To view this value in the report - Please suggest me a possible remedy. I thought to write a routine but I dont think it is advisable to change a time dependent master data.
    Thanks,
    Srinivas

    Hi,
    There are two ways of solving your issue.
    - Remove the time dependent check box for 0person, delete the transactional data, load the master data again and reload the transactional data.
    - Write a program to extend the 'Date to' value to 31.12.9999 for all employees.

  • Composite Provider with Time dependent master data

    Hi ,
    we have a infoset and due to some performance issues we are creating a composite provider to replace Info set and that Info set is having Time dependent master data objects  and DSO.. But when I was creating composite provider I do not see two time dependent  objects (Valid from and Valid to ) in composite provider. Composite provider does not have them/ is it a limitation? Appreciate if provide a input on this..  [We are in BW on HANA 7.4 with SP 7 environment]

    Hi Manohar Karunakaram
    I remember that there was the following limitation with Composite provider in terms of time dependent masterdata but it was a little old limitation.(some time in 2013)
    If temporal joins are required where the result set is depending on time-dependent master data, InfoSets have to be used since CompositeProviders can't provide that functionality.
    I am not sure whether it was solved in the latest release and dont remember an OSS where this was addressed.

  • Language Dependent Master Data

    Hi,
    I Have a Info object which has data for more than 1 language, How do I control the text of the info object by language.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kiran,
    I agree with suman...
    From the below tab check mark the option " Language dependent texts" in your IO.
    Master data texts are language dependent (flag)
    If this indicator is set, then the texts of the text table are language dependent and the text table has the language as a key field. This is also the default setting.
    If the indicator is not set then the text table does not have a language field and the texts are not language dependent.

  • Problem with activation of Master Data 0UCINSTALLA

    Hello Everybody,
    I'm working on a BW 3.5.
    I have a problem with the activation of master data of one Infoobject. When I try to activate the data SAP gives me the message that all the data is active. But when I try to change something on the infoobject I get the error message:
    Characteristic 0UCINSTALLA: Master data has to be activated before conversion.
    So I have a small problem as you can see. When I try to activate something SAP says that it is active and when I try to change something in the infoobject SAP says it is not active.
    When I do my check in RSRV of my infoobject I get the following error messages:
    Characteristic 0UCINSTALLA: 79.579 values from table /BI0/SUCINSTALLA do not exist in table /BI0/QUCINSTALLA
    Characteristic 0UCINSTALLA: 79.579 values from table /BI0/PUCINSTALLA do not exist in table /BI0/QUCINSTALLA
    Characteristic 0UCINSTALLA: Chain of active intervals: 81.858 gaps (show max. 50):
    When I ask that he corrects these errors SAP suggest to rebuild the X and Y tables. After rebuilding the error still exists.
    Also with SE14 when I do the convertion of the tables (forced and not forced ) the error still occurs.
    Does anybody have any idea? Any suggestion is welcome.
    Greets,
    Jeroen

    Hi Jeroen,
    We are experiencing the same issue and it is mentioned in OSS Note 657467. Looks like there is a bug and depending on which version and support pack you are using, you may have to go to upgrade to a newer support pack.
    I am just curious to know which version and support pack you are at.

  • Problem with deleting old master Data from 0Material

    Hello, we try to delete the master data from 0Material.
    But we get the message that some data are used and can not be deleted.
    We can see the error message in slg1:
    "Master data 000000000100000007 (SID                                                   7) is used in /BI0/HMATERIAL; is not deleted"
    "Master data R23188 (SID                                                5316) is used in /BI0/D0RT_C071; is not deleted"
    Can we just clear these tables? Is it enough for resolving the problem?
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    no you just can't "clear" these table unless you want to screw your datawarehouse....
    the first message means that the material with SID 7 is used in a hierachy of 0MATERIAL ==> adjust the hierarchy first.
    the second message indicates that the material with SID 5316 is used in the ICube 0RT_C07 and you CANNOT delete master data if it is used in other objects.
    First run RSRV for this dimension in order to see if the DIMID is really used by the fact table. Perform the following test "Entries Not Used in the Dimension of an InfoCube " with your cube and dim.
    if the DIMID is not used then "correct" the error; you'll then be able to delete your SID.
    If the DIMID is used then you'll have to delete your cube data if you really want to delete this material; otherwise you'll have to keep it.
    Finally rerun you master data deletion.
    hope this helps...
    Olivier.

  • Compare two months with time-dependent master data

    Hi gurus,
    I have the requirement to make a query that compares values from two months but the key figures are restricted by a time-dependent atributte, I created a structure restricted with an Exit-variable that fills the month in course and the month before, the issue is that query designer only accepts individual variables so only one month displays data.
    Is there a way to use several key-dates so the time-dependent attributes can be used for especific months?
    Regards,
    Gerardo.

    Thanks Raj,
    If there´s no other option I will include attributes in cube. Check if points are correctly assigned

  • LANGUAGE dependent TEXT data load to Infoobject

    Hi,
    We had Z infoobject with LANGUAGE dependent TEXT data.
    We had a Z table in ECC in which the Text data of the Z info object is maintained.
    Table Structure:
    ZObjects : Lanuage:1-Text : Lanuage:2-Text
    Now i created a data on the Z table and extracted data to PSA and sample data is like below
    KEY,English Text,German Text134,potato,Kartoffel
    145,chocolate,Schokolade
    150,biscuit,Keks
    Please update me how can i load this data as LANGUAGE dependent TEXT data of the Infoobject.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Maxicosi
    My understanding of the problem is you have text in english ( second field) and german ( 3rd field) while first field being the key.
    If m understanding is correct please read further.
    1. Your target InfoObject text table will have a structure like below
    Key Langu  Text
    2. Create one transformation Rule Group which will have mapping.
    Key ( DataSource)  to Key ( InfoObject Text Table)
                                       Langu ( "EN" as constant value)
    second filed   to   Short/Medium/Long text in (Text Table)
    3. Create another Rule Group which will have the mapping for German.
    Key ( DataSource)  to Key ( InfoObject Text Table)
                                        Langu ( "DE" as constant value)
    Third field   to  Short/Medium/Long text in (Text Table)
    Below how to document will give you an idea of Rule Group.

  • Delete Time dependent Master Data

    Hi Experts,
    I have a Time dependent Master Data for 0EMPLOYEE, now I wish to delete only one historical line item from the master data and not the whole data with respect to a Given Employee Number.
    Is it possible? Please provide the steps.

    Hi,
    To make my problem more clear.. please refer to the data below
    0employee     Dateto     Date From
    ABC     01.01.2010     31.12.2009
    ABC     02.10.2009     30.12.2009
    ABC     05.05.2009     01.10.2009
    now I wish to delete the following record only.
    ABC     02.10.2009     30.12.2009
    When trying and selecting only the line item it does not allow as ABC is the key and is present in SID table and have transactional data.
    Please advice how to proceed with deletion of the incorrect record as this was mistakenly created in master data itself.
    Thanks,

  • Activate time dependent master data

    Hello,
    we're experiencing problems in activating time dependent master data.
    We're using 0UCINSTALLA infoobject, in the P table all records have objvers = A, but in the Q table there are only a few A records, the most of them have objvers = M and changed = I.
    So, how can we activate those records?
    Thanks,

    hi David,
      I am having the same problem activating the 0mat_plant...
    It is says that the object status is inactive & try to activate it...
    The steps I did was....
    Hi All,
    I am adding a navigational attribute to 0mat_plant...
    & after that when I am activating 0mat_plant, it throws an error as follows:
    *Diagnosis:*Errors arose when activating InfoObject 0MAT_PLANT. An active version already existed before the activation.
    _System Response:_InfoObject 0MAT_PLANT could not be reset to the old active version. Since the generated objects no longer correspond to the old active version, they were reset to inactive.
    *Procedure:*The old active version of InfoObject 0MAT_PLANT can no longer be used. Remove the cause of the activation error and activate InfoObject 0MAT_PLANT anew.
    Pls help me with this issue ASAP...

  • Time-dependent master data in the cube and query

    Hello,
    I have a time-dep. masterdata infoobject with two time-dep attributes (one of them is KF). If i add this infoobject into the cube, what time period SID will be considered during the load? I assume it only matters during load, if i add the KF to the query it gets its value based on the SID in the cube.. right?
    Thanks,
    vamsi.

    If its Time Dependent Master Data object when you run your Master Data if that time any changes to the Master Data that value will be overwrite to the old value you will get the new value. When you run the Query execution the Infocube Master Data infoobject will having the SID that time it will to there it will be displayed at that moved what is the value you have in the Master Data table.
    This is what my experience.
    Thanks,

  • Data not uploading in Time dependent Master data Infoobject

    Once I loaded this data to the infoobject, i can not see this value which is the latest value of this HR entity.
    Can somebody please explain how the data gets loaded in the time dependent master data infoobject and why this entry is not getting loaded in the info object.
    Regards
    RK

    Hi,
    did you activate master data after your load?
    You can check also version 'M' records and see if your record is there.
    The load went green?
    The problem is, that your entry overlaps all exisitng time intervals, which can't be deleted or merged as there may be dependent transactional data. You have first to delete the transactional data for this entity.
    Then you can delete the time-dependent data and reoload it from your PSA.
    BW will build then correct time intervals.
    The easiest is to change the time interval in PSA, see example below:
    At the moment the time interval is not accepted. But you can add time intervalls before 31.12.2011 and after 01.07.2013, Then system will create remaiing time intervals, e.g. your new record is:
    HR Entity
    Start Date
    End Date
    X
    01.08.2013
    18.12.2013
    Result will be:
    HR Entity
    Version
    Date from
    Date To
    x
    A
    19.12.2013
    31.12.9999

  • What is time dependent master data?

    Can anybody explain me in detail with an example for time dependent master data?
    Thanks in advance.
    Sharat.

    hi,
    the master data value changes with respect to some time characteristics.
    say- Salesregion is a char that have sales rep as master data(attribute)
    saleregion  date from  date to              sales rep
    sr001        20/10/2007  20/12/2007          Ram
    sr002        21/12/2007  12/05/2008          Ram
    in the above example Ram is in two sales region in different dates.
    these type of attributes were time dependent.
    usually time period will be defined in the data range of 01/01/1000 to 31/12/9999.

  • Modify code to pull the time dependent master data

    I fully under stand the suggestion below for the requirement to add the time dependent attribute comp code
    thanks fo rthe help but please tell me if there is a way i can modify the abap code and make the user enter the value for the date on which he want to pull th emaster data for company code or keydate to and from and pull the master data, so how will i proceede should i create the variable on 0doc_date and how to modify the code. please help . i have opened another question with same desc as above to assign points
    thanks
    soniya
    The literal within <..> is supposed to be replaced by the actual field name (as I didn't know the fields). In this case, I am changing your code for costcenter/company-code.
    data : wa like /bi0/qcostcenter.
    select single * from /bi0/qcostcenter into wa
    where costcenter = comm_structure-costcenter
    and objvers = 'A'
    and datefrom le comm_structure-<keydatefield>
    and dateto ge comm_structure-<keydatefield>.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    result = wa-comp_code.
    endif.
    abort = 0.
    You can use this code for update rule of company_code. You have to replace '<keydatefield>' with a field name that contains the date on which the company is to be derived. If there is a date in your comm_structure (eg aedat) which you can use, you can specify that field in place of this literal (instead of comm_structure-<keydatefld> use comm_structure-aedat). If you have no such field, and you wish to use current date for getting the company code from time-dependent master data, you can use sy-datum (ie replace comm_strucutre-<keydatefld> with sy-datum).
    And it should work.
    The 'master data attribute' option is one of the options when you create update rule (one of the radio button options).

    That the code is doing anyway.
    If your txn data in the cube doesn't have a date, how does it know it is Feb data, or, it is March data?
    If it has a date or month field, you should modify and use this code to update the company based on that date instead of system date.
    Other than that minor variation, it is already doing what you look for.

  • Time Dependency Master Data Load

    Hi:
    This is my first time to work on time dependency master data. I need help!
    I first deleted master data and cleaned up the PSA for material sales.
    Then I have turned on the feature of time dependent on the info object for material sales. Save it and activated the object.
    Then i have problems by loading the master sales attribute data in PSA. The error is: on every record of material, it has "invalid 'to' date '00/00/0000'" and "invalid 'from' data '00/00/0000'".
    Is every process i did wrong? What is the process to work on time dependent master data? and loading the data?
    Thank you!!

    Hi,
    After turning on the time dependence...you get an extra field in the key of the master data table Q table date to and a new field date from as a new field.
    These two fields needs to be mapped to date to and date from R/3 source as well.
    If there is no source field for these two then you need to make sure to get the values for these fields.
    Just check if you are getting any field like that from R/3...right now i think you have left the mappings for these fields as blank.
    Thanks
