Segment Type

Hi all,
A data extract consists of sequence of data segments. Data segments are characterized by segment type and segment Data.
The following segment types are available:
01     file Header
02     Segment directory
03     Meta data
04     Selection criteria
05     Data Records (transaction and master data)
06     Checksum records
07     Customizing Data.
But I am not getting what is Segment-Type here?
what do you mean by Checksum records ?
Help me out
Thanks in advance

hi,
A data segment contains a collection of fields from SAP tables. A data segment may hold master data or data from an application document. A segment is a collection of all the records of one type. A segment may contain data from a single SAP database table, or it may combine related data from multiple tables.
A checksum is basically a one-way hash of whatever data arguments you supply.
also check this link and you will get answers to all your questions.

Error while adding new field in the Segment type thru WE31.

Hi All,
I want to add one field in the Z segment type using WE31.But i am getting the error message as
'Current segment definition <segment name> can no longer be changed and The current segment definition
is already released.You can either add a new segment definition or cancel the release of the current segment definition'.
The current segment defenition which i am trying to change got the SAP release of 45B. But the system has upgraded to Ecc6 recently.
I tried going to the edit menu and cancel the release, but still it is not allowing.
Whats the impact of the Add button(Add version) and creating a new version?.will it create a new version for ECC6?.
Points will be rewarded
regards,
neslin.

Hi
You can create a new version. This will not create any problems. You might not be able to cancel the release because of upgrade.
Thanks

Problem with creation of IDOC Segment Type

Hi,
I tried to create IDOC Segment Type Z1LFA1 but error
prompted "Structure Z1LFA1 already exist.".
I tried deleting it at se11 but prompted
"You cannot edit object R3TR TABL Z1LFA1 with the
standard editor"
and at sm30-TADIR, but prompted
with "Cannot delete object directory entry, object exists."
How will go about this??
Please help!
Thanks!

hi,
yup, tried doing that on we31 but the segment does not exist yet.
we're currently upgrading from 4.6 to ecc, I think the structure
was tranferred to our ecc client but the idoc segment and idoc type were not. I'll just have to transport it then.
Thanks!

If your other two checks are correct and only if you want to
know the program or function module please check following things.
1. Each Message type will having a posting program, genarally it will be a function module.
2. This function module will be attached to a Process code.
3. You can check the the process code name in the Partner profiles.
4. After knowing your process code, please check WE41 and WE 42 for the function module name.
5. From this you can debug and find out.
Points please if this info is helpful..............

IDOCS: Segment Definition and Segment Type

Hi Gurus,
We are working on IDOCs and trying to send a Location Master IDOCs to Third party system.
1. In the IDOC print preview we are in a position to see the IDOC segment type Ex: E1TPLOC but customer is asking for Segment definition E2TPLOC.
When we go through the documentation:
u2022     Segment Type consists of Segment definition with Version and Release.
u2022     Segment Definition will contain the Field names
u2022     E1TPLOC, E1TPDLH, E1KNVAM, E1TPTRM & E1TPSHH Segment types with concerned Segment definitions are
                     E2TPLOC,E2TPDLH, E2KNVAM
How to see the Segment definition types?

Hi,
You can see the documentation in the transaction WE60 by giving the IDOC Basic type and extension if you have any.
E1 and E2 are the same, when you see the definition of the segment the naming convention will be E2 and when populating the data it will be E1.
I believe he is asking the segment definition alone, you go to WE60 transaction and give the inputs and click the parser button and that will give you the definition of the idoc and which you can share it with your partner.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

IDOC Segment Definition received instead of Segment type

Hello Folks,
When i send a Z Idoc Segment from A to B System, It is successfull from A System, but in B System sometimes its erroringout because in the inbound idoc Segment Definition is coming instead of Segment type.
For Example
From A System I have sent Z1P0002 segment
B System I have received Z2P0002000(Which is the segment definition for Segment type Z1P0002)
Any inputs to above problem?

Hi,
The problem may be due to system B using a older release version of the IDoc. In those scenarios, even though your IDoc type is recognized, it may not be possible for the reciever to determine the right segment version of the reciever.
There are options in the WE20 partner profile configuration, Field Segment release in IDoc type and Segment Appl. rel. which enable the partner system preventing from erroring out.

Split Single IDOC into Multiple IDOC's Based on Segment Type

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario IDOC to FILE , Split Single IDOC into Multiple IDOC's based on Segment Type
Outbound:
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Segment 1
Segment 2
Segment 3
Status Record
I should get output like below
Inbound:
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Segment 1
Status Record
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Segment 2
Status Record
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Segment 3
Status Record
Please suggest me step by step process to achieve this task.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot Harish for reply.
I have small doubt. According to your reply , If we have N number of segments in single IDOC with same fields in all segments then for splitting Single IDOC into Multiple IDOC's based on Segment Type we need to duplicate N number of target IDOC tree structure.
Is that possible to Split single IDOC into Multiple IDOC's based on Segment Type using only one Target IDOC structure without duplicating the Target IDOC structure tree.

Create Individual Idocs Based on Parent and Child Segment type

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario IDOC to FILE , Split Single IDOC into Multiple IDOC's based on parent and child Segment Type
For example If 3 child segments are same and 1 segment is different under parent segment then 3 same child segments are clubbed and create single idoc under parent segments and 1 different child should create in individual idoc under parent segment.
Note : Same logic should work for N number of Parent Segments and Child Segments.
Outbound:
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Parent Segment A
   Child Segment 1
   Child Segment 1
   Child Segment 1
   Child Segment 2
Parent segment B
   Child Segment 3
Status Record
I should get output like below
Inbound:
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Parent segment A
Child Segment 1
Child Segment 1
Child Segment 1
Status Record
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Parent segment A
Child Segment 2
Status Record
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Parent Segment B
Child Segment 3
Status Record
Please suggest me step by step process to achieve this task.
Thanks.

Hello,
Segment won't hold any value, so filter criteria should be there on some field wich exist in Parent node and chile node?
Paste ur XML?
Try this(Assuming u have some fields in parent/child segment on which u want to define filter criteria):
Parent Field--UseOneAsMany----RC----
                                  ------------------Concat ----splitbyvalue(value change)--collapse context --- ZIdoc
Child field-- RC----------
Child field--RC--splitbyvalue(valuechange)--CC -Splitbyvalue(each value) -- ParentSegment
Child field--RC--splitbyvalue(valuechange)--- ChildSegment
RC -> Remove Context
CC - Collapse Context
Note - i haven't tested ur mapping, so make sure to adjust context in mapping
Thanks

Middleware initial load error on funcloc segment type (ADR2) does not exist

Hello,
We are doing initial loads of data into a new CRM 7.0 system.
So far all objects have been done except Functional locations (FUNCLOC).
During the initial load of the functional locations the various BDOCs all go into error state.
The error is the same everywhere: segment type adr2 does not exist.
If we deactivate the adr2 table In transaction R3AC1 and process again, we get the error message for the next table
(Like: segment type IFLOTX does not exist) and so on.
IS there any settings we can do to manage these 'segments' or would there be another wa to solve this?
Thanks.
Joram

Hello,
Take a look at note 1271465, it does not talk about the ADR2 segment but about segment errors in SMW01 for functional location download. It might be useful. Observe especially the constraint in ERP version number, it might be that your ERP system is out-of-date/incompatible for this scenario.
Second thing to check, go to SPRO>CRM>Master Data>Installed Base>Replication of technical objects from ERP
There you'll find a mandatory customizing activity for Functional location download.
And in the documentation of activity "Replication of Functional locations: Prerequisites and General information" you'll find all the necessairy actions to perform.
This helped me in setting up funcloc replication in CRM 7.0.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Joost

Anything else to be refreshed or anything else to be done except we31.we30, we81
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Farhy Farhy on Aug 2, 2010 12:29 PM

Thanks for your reply Mr. Das.
I have tried all the things and did not find any solution..
Posted after checking all the things and the procedure. I did not write any custom program. Earlier I created the extension type and deleted and created the new extension type. But now it is taking the same old extension type and giving the error as the extension type is not maintained in the message type.
I have deleted the old extension type completely but the old is onle getting reflected. Anything to be done to refresh.
Waiting for the reply.

Moving special segments types

Hello, please i need some help
What would it be the sentence to move LOBSEGMENT and LOGINDEX segment types to a different tablespace?
Thanks in advance.

It's the 'LOB Storage' portion of the ALTER TABLE statement.
For 10gR2, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_3001.htm#CJAHHIBI and search for LOB_storage_clause

Hello,
If you Profitability Segment- PSG, then it is needed for PA- Profitability Analysis.
PSG is determined based on derivation rules. For every customer group, business area and distribution channel and material group- you can define a PSG. This helps in analyzing data based market segmentation.
When settlement rule is created for sales orders or projects or service orders-- PSG is determined based on derivation rules and revenue and cost are settled to PSG at the time of settelement with PA documents.
Hope the above helps you.
