Routine Support

Hello,
Can anyone let me know how i can delete the routine included at the infopackage level?
Also please let me know how i can change the name of dimension of the infocube at RAS1 level...

Hi
In order to delete the routine at infopackage do to that infopackage
in the data selection tab for the variables u may have a routine in order to delete that routine there will be a dustbin type button beside that ... u click that button it will ask for confiramtion to delete that routine for the variable selection....
Go to edit mode of infocube and click on the dimension and rigt click on the dimension and change properties is the option where u can change the dimension name ..

I can't import my videos!

I'm a little befuddled with this new version of iMovie. I used to be able to import a wide range of movie formats with the iMovie 06 and 08 software, but now I can't import simple files like .mov videos saved in Quicktime or most of my older .mpegs. Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to find some video formatting software and save them as a special format? This shouldn't have to be so hard! Video formats like Quicktime .movs are the most common on Macs!

mov is no format, but a media container; the mov wrapper can contain many codecs and codec-combos, which are not supported by iMovie, which is meant by concept for camcorder-imports, not 'files'.
plus, the camcorder-import-routine supports codecs, which as file do not import.
you need converter software, best track record has *Mpeg Streamclip* ; for conversion of mp2 (as vob, mts etc) you need additionally the mp2-playback-component (apple.com, 20$); for 'exotics' as divx etc. you need additionally the free plugin perian.org
convert to dv-stream, aic, photo-jpeg, h264 ...

Documenting means

Hi Guru's,
   In Support Projects
       " Documenting the configuration and program modification requirements and developing specifications for customizing "
Gurus what does it mean actually.
   Plz tell me Gurus its also very urgent for me.
Thanks in Advance,
Abdul Khader.

Hi Abdul,
In Support projects, you have to document the changes you have made in the production system. Basically there are three types of support issues - Configuraition change, Development/ enhancement and Routine support.
Configuration - Means carrying ot customizing settings like creating payment terms, or making changes to Credit rep etc
Development / Enhancement - Any custom program (Z progra) needs to be modified, which will be treated as a development issue
Both configuraiton and development issues require documnetation in the form of what business requirement, changes proposed, Test results (Before and after scenario), user approval of the testing etc. Additionally for a dev issue, you have to document the FTS (Functional tech specs doc)
Support - Does not involve any documenting. It will have only an analysis provided to the business. To further your analysis made, you might have to document the screenshots.
Hope this clarifies
Kindly assign points if helpful

End Routine Code not Working after Support Pack Upgrade

Hi BI Community,
We have recently upgraded to SPS17 (BW SP19) for our production system and the code deriving the values of several attributes in the end routine of the transformation for one InfoObject (as info provider) does not work anymore. We have been trying to identify the root cause but the fact is that we did not change anything to the InfoObject and its transformation and this used to work fine. The strange thing is that when we debugged the code we could see the value of the aforementioned attributes was derived correctly but the value is just not updated to the InfoObject where we still see the old values for these attributes.
We have a similar InfoObject with the same end routine code in the transformation and it is working fine. We are out of idea what could have caused this during the SP upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Regards,
Peter

Cannot say what might have caused it but one check you can perform.
Open your transformation in change mode and you can see a button next to create end routine button, titled ' Update Behavior of End Routine Change', click on that and say all fields.
Hope it helps...

? Office 2013 to support Excel 2003 (XLS) spreadsheets containing VBA CommandBars references

Thanks in advance for reading this and offering any wisdom you have! I am not an expert in any of the following, so apologies if off base.
The basic problem is: I need to use Excel 2013 to support Excel 2003 (XLS) spreadsheets containing VBA 'CommandBars' references which don't seem to work in Excel 2013. Details below.
Most of our users are still using older desktop windows PCs and Office 2003! We are beginning to upgrade to laptops running Windows 8.1 with Office 2013. Of course, we IT technical people are using the new laptops first. These new laptops are
64 bit.
Years ago, someone did a lot of development with spreadsheets here in Excel 2003 file formats that automates many activities and routines. Now we with the new laptops are having to support this development using new machines.
There is a basic compatibility issue that appears when first opening these Excel 2003 files that have VBA code that I'll detail below; I seem able to get by that problem.
The current problem appears to be that the existing Excel 2003 VBA code has many references to: "For Each bar In Application.CommandBars". As I've learned, the Application.CommandBars VBA functionality is focused on older MS Office versions' menu
commands, but "...Starting from Office 2007 the Fluent UI is used instead." In other words, because MS Office isn't menu-driven beginning with version 2007 (uses 'the ribbon'), it appears that these references to: "For Each bar In Application.CommandBars"
create a basic incompatibility to opening these spreadsheets in Office 2013.
For a spreadsheet, after I resolve the issue detailed below and save it, when I reopen it I encounter error "Compile error: can't find project or library."
For example, the following code snippet:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
For Each bar In Application.CommandBars
bar.Enabled = False
Next
results in: "Compile error: can't find project or library."
(Sorry, can't include images yet, I am not a VERIFIED USER of this forum yet.)
I went into VBE's menu: Tools>References and check for anything marked MISSING, which I deselected. But I am still receiving this error.
I don't want to get into changing the code a lot to support both Excel 2003 and 2013 (I am no VBA expert, just a dabbler).
And Microsoft officially says that Office 2003 is incompatible with Windows 8 although Application.CommandBars seem to be somewhat supported in Office 2013 .
Are you aware of a quick VBA workaround to get by this?
•I could comment out the validations, commands for: "For Each bar In Application.CommandBars" but then the spreadsheet code probably won't work for users using Office 2003.
Alternatives would be:
•Installing Office 2003 on my Win 8.1 64 bit laptop anyway, in spite of MS's saying incompatible, since this thread discusses at least one person has been able to use Office 2003
•Keeping one older PC with Office 2003 on it for us to support the old Office 2003 code until everyone upgrades their systems
Thanks
Basic compatibility issue that seems solvable:
Opening these spreadsheets displays this error:
Compile error:
The code in this project must be updated for use on 64-bit systems.
Please review and update Declare statements and then mark them with the PtrSafe attribute.
This seems resolvable by going into the VBA code and just adding element 'PtrSafe' where functions are declared; in other words, replacing VBA code "Declare Function" with "Declare PtrSafe Function" seems to get by this.

Mapping(type routine) missing in transformation 2lis_03_bf - BCT 703, 704

Hi Friends,
i am on 703 BI content, than when i activated the 0ic_c03 infocube I observed that in transformation 2lis_03_bf mapping is missing, target field should is not mapped with source field, in earlier version of bi content target fields is gettinc caluclated by some routine and secondly start routine of 2lis_03_bf have syntax error, same with 2lis_03_bx and um transformation.
so we upgraded to BI conetent 704 with patch 0001 than i reactivated the 0ic_c03 cube but though problem is same.
so, we are now planning to upgrade support patch 0003 for BI content 704, will support patch 0003 for BI content 704 solve the problem or anyother thing required to do with current status of BI conetent 704 with patch 0001 to solve this issue?
Regards,
dushyant,

Hi Colin Moloney ,
we applied the 0003 support pack/patch for the BI content 704 from patch 0001 of BI content 704,
now start routine error of 2lis_03_bf is gone, transformation is comin as active verson once we do reactivation of object from BI content,
But still missing the mapping rules in transformation.
note 1179880 is saying that Import Support Package 3 into your system. is that mean patch 0003 for BI content 704?
note content - "Solution
Implement Note 1171293 in your system. The following procedure depends on the release you are using.
BI_CONT 7.04:
A Support Package that contains all transformations is available for Release BI_CONT 7.04. Import Support Package 3 into your system.
If you install Release 7.04 by upgrading from Release 7.03, only the changed objects (delta) are imported into the system. As a result, transformations may be deleted in the system, and you may only notice this when you activate the new BI Content from Release 7.04. The missing transformations are delivered completely in this Support Package"
now what to do?

dushyant.

BI End Routine MONITOR entry overwrites Start Routine MONITOR entries

Hi Colleagues,
I'm using MONITOR TYPE rstr_ty_t_monitors in start routine as well as in end routine of transformations.
But DTP request monitor shows only my end routine monitor entries under "Start routine" and my start routine monitor entries are not shown.
msgid = RSM1
msgty = W or E
msgno = 799
Any suggestions?
Thanks and regards,

Start & End Routines in BI 7 Transformations

Hi,
In Transformations from DSO1-->DSO2
In Start Routine for all entries in Source Package i read some fields from DSO3 and filled an iternal table
And in end routine i read the iternal table and filled the result package/fields
In the mapping i haven't mapped any thing to the fields to which i intended to fill using routines
When i executed data load those fields are not populated with any value
But if i debug the transformation...results are updating in all fields in the result package.......
Do i need to make any setting or mappings to the fields which i want to update using end routine
Thanks

HI,
For support pack 16 and above you get one more button besides End Routine (once end routine is created).
This button is to update behaviour of fields in End Routines. You get two options once you select this button. One needs to make selection of proper option as it is mandatory.
The default setting for the pushbutton is that only the fields with active rules are updated in the transformation. With this selection, fields populated in End routine wont be updated in the data target if no active rule exists for them in Transformation.
Alternatively, you can define that all the fields should always be updated by selecting 2nd radio button. As a result, fields filled in the end routine are not lost if there is no other active rule.
So in your case if you are in SP 15 or lower, then you will have to map the fields.
Go through this article it gives the above explanation along with screenshots.

Start Routine on Transformations

Hi Friends
I've Start routine on transfer rules with internal table and it was working fine.
Now I'm trying to define the internal table with occurs 0 but it's throwing error saying occurs not support in new version.
How can we define an internal table in start routine of transformations in BI7?
The code as follows for internal table.
data: begin of it_ord occurs 0,
AUFNR(000012) TYPE C,
ZZARBPL(000008) TYPE C,
WERKS(000004) TYPE C,
end of it_ord.
Regards,
Chandu.

Hi
I've defined as follows
    types: begin of it_ord ,
            AUFNR(000012) TYPE C,
            ARBPL(000008) TYPE C,
            WERKS(000004) TYPE C,
          end of it_ord.
    data: temp_tabix like sy-tabix,
          is_datapak type tys_SC_1.
    data it_ordt type table of it_ord .
It's throwing error saying it_ort is a table with no header line and therefore has no component called aufnr.
If I define with header line then header line not supported.
What could be the problem?
I've changed like you said but it's giving the following error.
E:"IT_WA" is not a table with header line.
Regards,
Chandu.

Change your code like the one below
TYPES : begin of it_ord ,
AUFNR(000012) TYPE C,
ARBPL(000008) TYPE C,
WERKS(000004) TYPE C,
end of it_ord.
DATA : temp_tabix TYPE sy-tabix,
is_datapak TYPE tys_SC_1.
DATA : it_ordt TYPE STANDARD TABLE of it_ord ,
it_ordtt_wa TYPE it_ord.
This should solve your problem.

End Routine and test on a field not present in target system

Hello,
I find an issue in testing a field present in the ODS source system, using a Transformation.
More exactly, I do not have a field that I need to test in my end routine because I can't find it in the RESULT_PACKAGE structure (because it is not present in the target Cube). In BW 3.x I solved this problem with an enhancement in the communication structure of my ODS and using a start routine.
Any idea for a Transformation?
Many thanks in advance for your kind support.
Regards,
Giovanni

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I have two conditions to implement.
1) Fill some fields of the Cube, NON present in my ODS.
2) Condition on one filed of my ODS (filed NON present in the Cube) for filling some field of the Cube.
In my tys_SC_1 structure of the start routine I find all fields of my ODS and the fields that I need to check but I need to check this filed in one point of my process and set a filed in my Cube (filed not present in my ODS), not present in the tys_SC_1 structure of the start routine.
I hope to have described in a better way may issue.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Giovanni

Performance: reading huge amount of master data in end routine

In our 7.0 system, each day a full load runs from DSO X to DSO Y in which from six characteristics from DSO X master data is read to about 15 fields in DSO Y contains about 2mln. records, which are all transferred each day. The master data tables all contain between 2mln. and 4mln. records. Before this load starts, DSO Y is emptied. DSO Y is write optimized.
At first, we designed this with the standard "master data reads", but this resulted in load times of 4 hours, because all master data is read with single lookups. We redesigned and fill all master data attributes in the end routine, after fillilng internal tables with the master data values corresponding to the data package:
*   Read 0UCPREMISE into temp table
    SELECT ucpremise ucpremisty ucdele_ind
      FROM /BI0/PUCPREMISE
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_0ucpremise
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN RESULT_PACKAGE
      WHERE ucpremise EQ RESULT_PACKAGE-ucpremise.
And when we loop over the data package, we write someting like:
    LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <fs_rp>.
      READ TABLE lt_0ucpremise INTO ls_0ucpremise
        WITH KEY ucpremise = <fs_rp>-ucpremise
        BINARY SEARCH.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        <fs_rp>-ucpremisty = ls_0ucpremise-ucpremisty.
        <fs_rp>-ucdele_ind = ls_0ucpremise-ucdele_ind.
      ENDIF.
*all other MD reads
ENDLOOP.
So the above statement is repeated for all master data we need to read from. Now this method is quite faster (1,5 hr). But we want to make it faster. We noticed that reading in the master data in the internal tables still takes a long time, and this has to be repeated for each data package. We want to change this. We have now tried a similar method, but now load all master data in internal tables, without filtering on the data package, and we do this only once.
*   Read 0UCPREMISE into temp table
    SELECT ucpremise ucpremisty ucdele_ind
      FROM /BI0/PUCPREMISE
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_0ucpremise.
So when the first data package starts, it fills all master data values, which 95% of them we would need anyway. To accomplish that the following data packages can use the same table and don't need to fill them again, we placed the definition of the internal tables in the global part of the end routine. In the global we also write:
DATA: lv_data_loaded TYPE C LENGTH 1.
And in the method we write:
IF lv_data_loaded IS INITIAL.
lv_0bpartner_loaded = 'X'.
* load all internal tables
lv_data_loaded = 'Y'.
WHILE lv_0bpartner_loaded NE 'Y'.
Call FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_SLEEP'
EXPORTING
     seconds = 1.
ENDWHILE.
LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE
* assign all data
ENDLOOP.
This makes sure that another data package that already started, "sleeps" until the first data package is done with filling the internal tables.
Well this all seems to work: it takes now 10 minutes to load everything to DSO Y. But I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. The system seems to work fine loading all these records in internal tables. But any improvements or critic remarks are very welcome.

This is a great question, and you've clearly done a good job of investigating this, but there are some additional things you should look at and perhaps a few things you have missed.

This is not accurate. After SP14, BW does a prefetch and buffers the master data values used in the lookup. Note [1092539|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1092539] discusses this in detail. The important thing, and most likely the reason you are probably seeing individual master data lookups on the DB, is that you must manually maintain the MD_LOOKUP_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE parameter to be larger than the number of lines of master data (from all characteristics used in lookups) that will be read. If you are seeing one select statement per line, then something is going wrong.
You might want to go back and test with master data lookups using this setting and see how fast it goes. If memory serves, the BW master data lookup uses an approach very similar to your second example (1,5 hrs), though I think that it first loops through the source package and extracts the lists of required master data keys, which is probably faster than your statement "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN RESULT_PACKAGE" if RESULT_PACKAGE contains very many duplicate keys.
I'm guessing you'll get down to at least the 1,5 hrs that you saw in your second example, but it is possible that it will get down quite a bit further.
Zephania Wilder wrote:

This sleeping approach is not necessary as only one data package will be running at a time in any given process. I believe that the "global" internal table is not be shared between parallel processes, so if your DTP is running with three parallel processes, then this table will just get filled three times. Within a process, all data packages are processed serially, so all you need to do is check whether or not it has already been filled. Or are you are doing something additional to export the filled lookup table into a shared memory location?
Actually, you have your global data defined with the statement "DATA: lv_data_loaded TYPE C LENGTH 1.". I'm not completely sure, but I don't think that this data will persist from one data package to the next. Data defined in the global section using "DATA" is global to the package start, end, and field routines, but I believe it is discarded between packages. I think you need to use "CLASS-DATA: lv_data_loaded TYPE C LENGTH 1." to get the variables to persist between packages. Have you checked in the debugger that you are really only filling the table once per request and not once per package in your current setup? << This is incorrect - see next posting for correction.
Otherwise the third approach is fine as long as you are comfortable managing your process memory allocations and you know the maximum size that your master data tables can have. On the other hand, if your master data tables grow regularly, then you are eventually going to run out of memory and start seeing dumps.
Hopefully that helps out a little bit. This was a great question. If I'm off-base with my assumptions above and you can provide more information, I would be really interested in looking at it further.

Email notifications from Verification and Validation routines

I am trying to generate an email notification after we run a Verification or Validation routine once we make some changes in the DRM? Is it possibe? If so how can it be implemented and what versions of DRM supports the same?

DRM does not suppor this feature. Nowhere in the documentation does this exist. If you want to do it on demand you have 2 options:
1) use mdm-connect to run the verification/validation process saving the output to a file and write a script to take the file and mail it
or
2) create a custom API workflow process
Those are your options.
