Reload Masterdata (0Material)

Hi
I have reload 0material data. The delta gets loaded every 4 hrs directly into the infoObject.
For reloading, are the following steps correct?
Stop the delta loa in process chain
Delete data in InfoObject
Do Full load directly to InfoObject
Activate InfoObject
Do i have to do attribute change run? Also Can I do full load without deleting the data?
Thanks

Hi
these are the steps mentioned by you
Stop the delta loa in process chain
Delete data in InfoObject
Do Full load directly to InfoObject
Activate InfoObject
avoid deleting data ie second step
Activation of info object is also not necessary.
you need to run attribute change run
you can proceed with the remaining steps
so your procedure will be
1)Stop the delta loa in process chain
2)Do Full load directly to InfoObject
3)Attr change run.
This is the correct sequence
let me know if any thing is unclear

Best practise to feed an infoobject which depend on 0MATERIAL ?

Hi experts,
I'm a newbie on SDN and SAP BW. I have a question that could appear basic for you.
I have to add a new infoobject "Article Typology" in a BW query. I will call it ZTYPOLOGY.
This infoobject will contains 3 values which will depend on the description of 0MATERIAL (field /BI0/TMATERIAL-TXTMD) :
If /BI0/TMATERIAL-TXTMD contains 'MDD', ZTYPOLOGY have to return "MDD"
Elseif /BI0/TMATERIAL-TXTMD contains '#', ZTYPOLOGY have to return "Import"
else ZTYPOLOGY have to return "Other".
I thought to create ZTYPOLOGY as an attribute of the masterdata 0MATERIAL, and feed it by an ABAP routine in the Update Rule which come from 0MATERIAL_ATTR. Is it a good idea ?
If no, could you advise me about the best practise ?
Don't hesitate if you need more information to understand my request.
Thanks a lot.
Tempka

Hi,
First check the source of your query, and see how do you want to see the Typology data in the report, i.e. Always updated data with current master data or the data at the time of transaction.
For e.g. If you add your Infoobject as navigation attribute then you will always see only current master data. And if you add it in your Infocube or DSO etc. then the value will be static and it will show the value which was loaded historically.
Once you finalize your approach you can simply create field routine and load your data.

Routine for Material Description in language DE instead of EN in report o/p

Hi all,
We need to display material description/text in terms of DE language insted of EN at o/p the report.
It's a masterdata(0material) info object.There are many fields at report level,Only for this perticular field text only they want in DE language,remaining all in EN only.
How can we do langualge translations in BI.How can we achive this?
If any body implimented with routines plz share the information.
Regards,
VS.

Hi Varun ,
Please follow these steps :
go to RSA1-> Translation ->infoobject ->select object ->Create a piece list for Translation ->Create a Object List Go to transaction LXE_MASTER. In the evaluations tab, choose Object List->in the object List dialog box, choose create option ->Assign the Piece List->Generate the Object List.->
Schedule the background job which will generate the object list
Once the job for generating the object list is finished, please go to se63 ->Check your Default settings ->select Source Language and Target Language ->
Access your personal work list ->Enter target Language texts for BI objects in the Worklist ->Run the program RSO_AFTER_TRANSLATION ->Verify the translation in the respective object maintenance screen.

Error 0 update while loading master data

Hi,
Iam facing a problem while loading master data.Data has comes to PSA but it getting failed to load into infoobject it is showing the error " error in the 0 update".
Ihave tried for manual update, even though it is showing same problem .masterdata 0material is copy back from production to Quality.presently iam uploading data in quality.can anybody give your valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Mahi.

I've a compounding characteristic in this characteristic.
And the master data loading was fine yesterday but today it doesn't work.
When I check with rsrv this characteristic, a dump with message:
Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "SAPLRRSI" had to be terminated because one of the
statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
In program "GP47HH4A9VROVK98YR0TT9S7TQ5 ", the following syntax error occurred
in the Include "GP47HH4A9VROVK98YR0TT9S7TQ5 " in line 25:
"Field "/BIC/MZCATWRT" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specifie"
"d tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement. "DATA" statement."
So I think something is wrong in this Char.
But what can I do for that?
Thanks a lot for all idea.

Compounding Master data

Hi All,
Say I have master data coming into BW from two separate instances. I compound the master data to client.
What are the steps to be followed? Do I need to enhance data-sources (for example I compound masterdata 0MATERIAL with client do I need to enhance data-source 0MATERIAL_ATTR?)
Also say we have a material 1001 coming from client 800 & same material 1001 coming from client 100, how does BEx differentiate these materials?
Thanx in advance.
Monica

Hi Monica,
You will need to add 0SOURSYSTEM on the compounding tab of 0MATERIAL (in RSD1) and activate it. In both of the transfer rules (for each source system) then please assign the value of the Source System as a constant.
Hope this helps...
p.s. OSS note 184948 (Compound Infoobjects to 0SOURSYSTEM) useful to read when you are compounding chars to 0SOURSYSTEM.

Delete all masterdata in BW at once

At this moment I'm with a customer, where we have to redesign almost all masterdata. But first we have to delete the master data.
The easiest way of doing this, is by deleting all masterdata of all info-objects (Attributes, Hierachies and Text)at once, instead of deleting info-object after info-object.
I know that there is no formal way of doing this. Does anybody know a workaround?
With regards,
Alex

HI Alex,
While it is true that the reason why you cannot delete master data is because of referential integrity checks between MD and data in the infoproviders it should be noted that these are surrogate keys and not the actual key values (ie. customer id, employee #, etc). Assuming that you are not looking to change these but rather the attributes hanging off of these you can do the following:
- adjust the /BI0/Q and /BI0/P tables using SE14 (activate and adjust database - drop contents). This will delete the contents of the time dep and time indep master data tables.
- do the same for the text tables assuming that you have this
- you may have to also do this for the navigational attributes tables, again assuming that these have been turned on at the infoobject level.
- Do NOT touch the /BI0/S table since this provides the link to your infoproviders.
- reload your master data.

0material master data - attribute updated - not reflected in all providers

Hello,
An attribute of 0material was populated with data. Previously it was blank.
Since 0material is available in the dso's and cubes, the attributes come in as navigational.
I am a bit confused. The DSO which loads to the cube is not reflecting the 0material new attribute when displaying data. The cube which is loaded from the same DSO is reflecting the change to the 0material.
I did not think that data needed to be deleted and reloaded?
The attribute change run is part of the process chain and should update both dso and cube?
Example;
Cube
Cust 1
material abc
new attribute bingo
net value 100
DSO which feeds above cube
no data when selecting the same criteria above?
However, when extracting only material and new material attribute in the dso, the attribute comes up.
I am not sure if I am being clear. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Lynda

figured out the issue - I went back and saw the dso nav attributes were not selected. Should have noticed it sooner.

How to add new attribute as descrition to 0Material infoobject?

Hi BI Gurus,
I am trying to add a new attribute to 0MATERIAL. The new attribute called Z_DESC which will be displayed as Material Description.
My problem is how can I get Material long description show on this new added attribute. Since the master data load from different datasource: Attribute, Text, and Hierachy, how can I get text to show on attribute?
I looked up on 0MATERIAL_ATTRIBUTE datasource there is no field NAME or DESCRIPTION but there is long description on 0MATERIAL_TEXT. Should any have idea how to get text show on added new attribute?
Thanks in advacne,
TOMSBS

Hi BW Team
How was the symptom and how the Message no. RSDMD217 show?
If you have encounter the problem as mine: I added new attibutes to I/O 0MATERIAL and then tried to load the data to I/O 0MATERIAL again, it shows error message Message no. RSDMD217 and I cannot be able to see the data on new added attributes.
I checked on PSA and found some records didn't sound right such as on material code column is filled with text so I use T Code RSRV to check the consistency of the I/O. It shows an errors as
Characters are not allowed in characteristic values (characteristic 0MATERIAL).
So I click on Correct Error Tab and try to reload again. It works.

Masterdata attribute values still shows up

Hi I have a requirement to blank out few attribute values from Masterdata. I Did remove the mappings of those info objects to source field at the transformation. Now when I transported the changes and reloaded full update of masterdata, I still see values for ' not mapped' attributes. I am suspecting it cld be from earlier data existed in test system for that masterdata. Also I am not able to delete complete masterdata from the context menu...Please suggest me ways to accomplish this
thanks in advance
B Woodbridge

Hi,
The master data values shown for unmapped attributes are basically from the existing master data.
If you want to clear these values then you have below given options,
1) Delete the whole master data from the context menu of master data infoobject, which may or may not delete the full master data based on the usage.
2) Use of SE14 to delete the master data, in this case data will be deleted at database level and this option might corrupt your transaction data due to unavailability of proper master data.
3) Create a new transformation rule with all the unmapped attributes having a new mapping created with update type as Initial.
execute this new transformation DTP once and then all the existing values will be made initial. After that you can use the earlier transported DTP and transformation for further update.
I will always prefer the 3rd approach as it is safe to implement and can be utilized in future if required.

Problem with masterdata delta update

Hi,
Iam facing problem with 0material (masterdata) delta problem i.e. I have already uploaded all the transaction and master data of a infocube. To day when Iam checking all the others working properly but only 0material master data (attrbutes and text) is not scheduling, when Iam trying to schedule it is giving the message like
<b>The last delta update was incorrect !
Therefore, no new delta update is possible.
You can cancel the request or:
Attempt to load the data of the last delta update again</b>
Could you pls tell me how to solve this.
Waiting for ur reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Girikumar.

Hi,
After your last failed Delta Request, where is the request ? is it in the Request Tab ? or is it in the Reconstruct Tab ?
Just make sure that the request was marked as "RED". If it is so, then the next Delta should be a REPEAT Delta.
Thats it will re load the request again.
You can delete the request from the REQUESTS tab and put it in the RECONTRUCT Tab. And then attempt a load.
Hope it helps,
Pradip Parmar.

Reload for the historical data

Hi All,
I have an R/3 extractor '2LIS_04_P_ARBPL' which loads deltas everyday. Some time back on 16-06-09, masterdata(ZRESOURCE) was changed. Since then delta loads have happened & the extractor has fetched proper transaction data for the changed masterdata i.e. for the new resource. But for the prior period to 16-06-09, it still refers to the old resource. But the client wants that the transaction data of the prior period should also refer to the new (Changed) resource.
Pls advice me as to what I should do. Delete the existing data relating to the prior period & reload the historical data? If so how should I go abt it? And any precautions as its a delta load.
Thanks & Regards,
Shreesh.

Hi Shreesh,
We face similar kind of situation too. Example of such master data change is PL/PC reorganization.
In these case if any field are picking value from master data then master data present at the time of loading will be updated in cube and in future if master data change,you will see both old and new values in cube.
Solution for this is :-
1) try to make the client understand by explaining the whole scenario, client may get convinced.
2) Do selective deletion and load again data in cube
3) don't store values for that field in cube instead make the field as navigational attribute in cube, if you do this then value present at the time of execution of report will be displayed in report output.

0MATERIAL's attribute infoobject change

Hello All,
Currently 0MATERIAL infoobject has attribute ZXYZ (CHAR 60) and data is populated in it.
This ZXYZ is already used as navigation attribute in lot of Infoproviders.
Now I want to replace all the actual values in ZXYZ. And also I want to change the datalength of ZXYZ (from say 60 chars to 10 chars).
I followed some procedure and it's working, still want to confirm if it's safe to change an infoobject property from 0MATERIAL.
Steps I followed in Development:
1) Nullify the values sitting in ZXYZ attribute of 0MATERIAL. (So now ZXYZ master data can be deleted)
2) Deleted master data from ZXYZ infoobject.
3) Change the length from CHAR 60 to CHAR 10 for ZXYZ infoobject.
While changing the length, it asked me to adjust several database tables where ZXYZ was used. One of the table was /bi0/PMATERIAL which is a master data table for 0MATERIAL.
Database Utitility will adjust the tables when any of the field property from that table is changed.
Do any one of you see any issue if i transfer these change to Production?
I have not done this earlier, so if anyone has done it earlier, please share your experience?
Thank you,
Sarkar

Somehow it screwed up the material P table. It shouldn't have happened ideally.
But after opening the Q system and trying to activate the infoobject manually, system poped up a message to activate and adjust the P table, gave a warning it may completely or partially delete the data in P table and i continued.
All records in P table (attributes) were missing, SID's for those material were still available. Reload of these materials works fine since SID's are still available.
I'm not going to send this High Risk transport to Production.
Regards,

System defined infoobject 0MATERIAL is edited

One of the system defined infoobject 0Material has been edited , after which it's not responding at all to any other info providers or Datasources .
For e.g. when this 0MATERIAL is being "inserted as a infoprovider" , after creating a datasource its corresponding transformation or DTP is not getting created in the infoprovider space.
Can I install the 0material info object from any other instances as installing from business content is throwing error.
Could someone please guide , how can I get back the info object with original settings and configuration without affecting its master data
It's bit urgent, quick reply would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Regards
Deblina

Hi Deblina,
Is 0MATERIAL not in active form in your system?
If not then, try repairing it with RSRV. If there is a problem with data available in it then try adjust all 0MATERIAL master tables with SE14. Better delete data and reload.
If this is about transformation and DTP not getting crerated then...it's not becasue of reason that you have inserted this as infoprovider.
Make sure that both your target (IO) and Source (Datasource) are active in system and then try create transformation and DTP. It should work.

Gaurav

ERROR in loading the 0MATERIAL delta update

Hi all,
We have a daily master data load,which includes 0MATERIAL. Today the loads resulted in error saying
"Error message from the source system".
Error message is " Update mode R is not supported by the extraction API ".
I have gone thru other postings but didnt help me. Thanks for looking into this.

Hi Ajay,
If you have data already in the PSA, try to reload this delta load alternatively do an initialization of 0material and resume your delta loads daily.
This is because the update mode "R" repeat of last failed delta isn't available for this datasource. Also, refer the link below for more info. Re: Error : Updatemode R
