Similar issue: data package

Hi all,
I have to load data to an ODS to Cube. Requirement is while loading data, records with same key should be selected in same datapackage. I am using 3.5 update rule and infopackage for updating the target.
For example
Article Area
123    01
123    02
123    03
I need all articles with 123 should be selected in the same datapackage. Scattered selection shouldn't be allowed. The purpose of selecting similar article in the same data package is, then only the logic written in the update rule will work correctly.
If any body have idea about this please help me.
Thanks in advance,

You cant get all records of similar key into same datapackage.There will always be chances that one or more records come in your next datapackage.
May be you can increase the size of the datapackage in infopackage scheduler -
>DataS Default size (something like this), so that all data comes in one datapackage.
Lots of ppl have this problem but this is limitation in BW 3.X,
Hope this helps.

Issue in Update routine due to Data Package

We have this peculiar situation.
The scenario is ..
We have to load data from ODS1 to ODS2.
The data package size is 9980 while transferring data from ODS1 to ODS2.
In the update rule we have some calculations and we rank the records based on these calculations.
The ODS key for both ODS1 and ODS2 is same ie Delivery Number , Delivery Item & Source System.
For example a Delivery Number has 12 Delivery Items.
These Delivery Items are in different Data Packages namely Data Package 1 and Data Package 4.
So instead of having the ranks as 1 to 10 its calculating it as 1 to 5 and second item as 1 to 5.
But what we require is Rank as 1 to 10.
This is due to the fact that the items are in different Data packages.
In this case the ABAP routine is working fine but the Data Package is the problem.
Can anybody any alternative solution to this issue.?
Thanks in advance for assistance.............

Data Package Issue in DTP

Hi gurus,
My dataflow is like datsource->infosource->wrute optimised DSO with semantic key..
In source , i have 10 records in that 7 records are duplicate records.
I reduced the DTP datapackage size from 50000 to 5.
When i excuted the DTP , i got 2 data package. in the first data package i got all the 7 records for the same set of keys and in the second data package i got the remaining records.
My doubt is i have defined the data package size as "5" then how come the first data package can hold 7 records instead of 5 records.
Thanks in advance !

Hi ,
It is because of the Semantic Key seeting that you have maintained .Data records that have the same key are combined in a single data package. This setting is only relevant for DataStore objects with data fields that are overwritten .
Semantic Groups ensures how you want to build the data packages that are read from the source (DataSource or InfoProvider).
This setting also defines the key fields for the error stack. By defining the key for the error stack, you ensure that the data can be updated in the target in the correct order once the incorrect data records have been corrected.
Hope it helps .
Thanks

Copy Data Package (Referencing Target Issue)

Hello Experts,
We are trying to run an allocation but on runtime the application doesn't recognize the target variable of the data package.
This is the Script Logic we are using:
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR = 1
*DIM VERSAO WHAT=$VF$; WHERE = $VT$
*ENDALLOCATION
This is the Data Package Script used to set the parameters:
PROMPT(COPYMOVEINPUT,%SELECTION%,%TOSELECTION%,"Test","VERSAO")
INFO(%EQU%,=)
INFO(%TAB%,;)
TASK(ZBPC_DESP_RATEIOS_RUN_1,SUSER,%USER%)
TASK(ZBPC_DESP_RATEIOS_RUN_1,SAPPSET,ORC_GERENC)

TASK(ZBPC_DESP_RATEIOS_RUN_1,SELECTION,%SELECTION%)
TASK(ZBPC_DESP_RATEIOS_RUN_1,REPLACEPARAM,%VF%EQU%%VERSAO_SET%%TAB%VT%EQU%%VERSAO_TO%)

TASK(ZBPC_DESP_RATEIOS_RUN_1,TAB,%TAB%)
TASK(ZBPC_DESP_RATEIOS_RUN_1,EQU,%EQU%)
When we run the Data Package, we receive a Succefull Status Message, but on the Log we can see that SAP BPC routine doesn't recognize our target. It understands that VERSAO_SET is the source of the Allocation, but it just don't read the target value of the prompt for wich variable we are using VERSAO_TO.
LOG BEGIN TIME:2009-08-10 10:39:14

VERSAO:WHAT:PTPL,WHERE:%VERSAO_TO%,USING:,TOTAL:
On this sample, "PTPL" is the version we've selected as source, and the target we've selected is "COM" but the variable can't read it.
Assuming that "_SET" is used to reference the first variable of the prompt, could you please clarify us regarding which tag should we use to reference the second variable of the prompt?
Thanks in advice!
Edited by: Adalberto Vides Barbosa on Aug 10, 2009 7:26 PM

Hi,
As discussed by the experts earlier, the problem is getting the variable %VERSAO_TO%.
The variable %VERSAO_SET% is a dynamic variable used by BPC to get value from DM package. However, the other variable is not recognized by the system.
Hope this helps.

DTP does not fetch all records from Source, fetches only records in First Data Package.

Fellas,
I have a scenario in my BW system, where I pull data from a source using a Direct Access DTP. (Does not extract from PSA, extracts from Source)
The Source is a table from the Oracle DB and using a datasource and a Direct Access DTP, I pull data from this table into my BW Infocube.
The DTP's package size has been set to 100,000 and whenever this load is triggered, a lot of data records from the source table are fetched in various Data packages. This has been working fine and works fine now as well.
But, very rarely, the DTP fetches 100,000 records in the first data package and fails to pull the remaining data records from source.
It ends, with this message "No more data records found" even though we have records waiting to be pulled. This DTP in the process chain does not even fail and continues to the next step with a "Green" Status.
Have you faced a similar situation in any of your systems? What is the cause? How can this be fixed?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers
Shiva

Hello Raman & KV,
Thanks for your Suggestions.
Unfortunately, I would not be able to implement any of your suggestions because, I m not allowed to change the DTP Settings.
So, I m working on finding the root cause of this issue and came across a SAP Note - 1506944 - Only one package is always extracted during direct access , which says this is a Program Error.
Hence, i m checking more with SAP on this and will share their insights once i hear back from them.
Cheers

FDM Excel Import Issue - Data not loading.

I cannot get an excel mappping table to load to FDM. I am working on the Entiy dimension. I noticed a few things when trying to trouble shoot this. If you delete a record, the excel file will load that one entity back to the mapping table with the changes from the excel file. Also, if I delete the table and load a new mapping table with excel it will add the first record. The only thing that changes on the new load is the data key. I could not find anything in the Oracle forum on this.
When you manually load this data you do not add the sequence number, which seems to be always zero , the data key, which seems to be incrementing itself some how(but not sequentially) , and the partion key and dimname , which appear to not change. I was assuming that the issue was in the way I was adding this other data. I am obviiously new to FDM, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I am facing similar issue.
I am trying to map ICP Entries using an excel file.
I have made 2 mapping (explicit) entries, manually and exported it in Excel and then added all the Mappings in the same file, in proper format. when I am importing, I am not getting any error but the mapping is not getting updated and the new entries are also not getting added. so Ideally no Change in the tDatamap table.
Environment details: FDM Version 11.1.1.3 is getting used. Target App is Essbase 11.1.1.3. able to connect to Essbase, no issues with connectivity.
Has anyone face this issue.

Same set of Records not in the same Data package of the extractor

Hi All,
I have got one senario. While extracting the records from the ECC based on some condition I want to add some more records in to ECC. To be more clear based on some condition I want to add addiional lines of data by gving APPEND C_T_DATA.
For eg.
I have a set of records with same company code, same contract same delivery leg and different pricing leg.
If delivery leg and pricing leg is 1 then I want to add one line of record.
There will be several records with the same company code contract delivery leg and pricing leg. In the extraction logic I will extract with the following command i_t_data [] = c_t_data [], then sort with company code, contract delivery and pricing leg. then Delete duplicate with adjustcent..command...to get one record, based on this record with some condition I will populate a new line of record what my business neeeds.
My concern is
if the same set of records over shoot the datapackage size how to handle this. Is there any option.
My data package size is 50,000. Suppose I get a same set of records ie same company code, contract delivery leg and pricing leg as 49999 th record. Suppose there are 10 records with the same characteristics the extraction will hapen in 2 data packages then delete dplicate and the above logic will get wrong. How I can handle this secnaio. Whether Delta enabled function module help me to tackle this. I want to do it only in Extraction. as Data source enhancement.
Anil.

Hi,
You will have to do the enhancement of the data source.
Please follow the below link.
You can write your logic to add the additional records in the case statement for your data source.

Can we have a Family Data Package, Please?

I have 4 people on our wireless service with Verizon. Until recently, only I had a data plan. Then I got my kids new phones and they got data plans. Now my husband wants a data plan when he is eligible for a new phone in January. All these plans are getting REALLY expensive. How about coming out with a family data share plan, similar to the shared minutes plan?
Thank you!

They didn't feel like coercing people to add texting packages was an appropriate move, so instead they adjusted the price point. We should all feel deeply blessed that instead of requiring a texting package as well as a data package on most high quality phones, they just made it so affordable that I'm sure most people grab it by default. Fortunately for Verzion, the profit margins on texting is even higher than on data, because even if you use it a ton, it still costs them next to nothing to provide to you.
Even if Verizon has required messaging packages instead of data packages,you would still get people complaining most likely. Probably people then saying something like "oh i don't use messaging on my phone ever. I don't need it."
And rightly so. Nobody should be forced to buy anything they dont need or use. Is that not common sense?

Forcing customers to pay for a phone and/or data package they don't want or need

By their practices Verizon is forcing customers to pay for more than what the customer wants or needs, and at the same time giving the customer less of what they want or need.
I've been a Verizon Wireless customer for years. Everytime my 2 year upgrade is due I check what phones are available. It seems that as time goes by there are less and less Basic Phones with a qwerty keyboard, music player, good camera, and video. Now, there are only 3 phones to choose from that don't require a data package: none of them have a camera over 1.3 megapixels, none have video, and ALL had HORRIBLE customer reviews. Those reviews tell me I'm not the only disgruntled Verizon customer.
I've had Verizon phones that I liked in the past; right now I have a Blitz. I settled for that one because it was the best of the few bad choices available at the time. My most recent 2 year contract has been over for 5 months so now I'm on month-to-month with no contract, which is awesome. But my phone, which I like for the most part, doesn't work right.The problem is the earpiece speaker quit working as soon as my contract was up (maybe a software timebomb to force me to get a new phone?) so I took it to a repair shop to get it replaced. They replaced it but that speaker died after 2 months and since the phone has been discontinued (grr!), there is NO chance of getting a new speaker. That wouldn't be such an issue if the Bluetooth function had ever worked, which it never did. I recently broke down and decided I'd settle on something, so I tried the KinTwo (one of my 3 choices) but it sucked immensely so I sent it back.
So now I'm forced to buy a phone (with Some of the features I need, because it's obviously impossible to get ALL the features I want/need in One phone) that I don't like; AND pay for a $10 -$30 data package which I don't want or need, and can't afford; AND forced to sign up for a new 2 year contract. I'd rather go with Pay As You Go because I barely use any 'minutes' (I do more texting than talking, which is why I need a good qwerty keyboard) but I'd have to pay over $350 for a fairly decent phone.
HEY VERIZON, How about providing more than 3 choices of phones that don't require a data package? And how about making those phones GOOD QUALITY and not the garbage you're providing for sale now?
I'd like to stay with Verizon because they DO have the best service area compared to the other Big wireless phone companies . I've been with AT&T and the service area is really not as good. I even did comparison research for a college course's Final Project because I wanted to know which company had the more truthful claims about their coverage area. I live in the Sierra foothills and reception is a big issue with a lot of people here. I've talked with customers of the other companies and they all agree I should stay with Verizon. But if Verizon can't offer any good phones then I might as well switch to another carrier who may have more concern for their customer's needs. Even after giving us few choices of devices, charging high prices, and gauging us at every opportunity, they give us less incentive to stay a loyal customer. At least AT&T has roll-over minutes, Criket has 'no contract' service, and TracPhone has no contract/Pay as you go service with inexpensive phones.
So please excuse me while I go to the other carriers' websites to see what they're offering...

You are spot on. Verizon wants to squeeze every dollar it can from it's customers and customer service can take a DISTANT back seat to greed. I have a Chocolate Touch which I got a few years ago(before it REQUIRED a data package). I had activated a different phone which I ended up not liking and when I tried to re-activate my Chocolate I got slammed with the required data crappage..er package. I had to fight to get the data BLOCKED and the phone activated again.
Wifi is all over but all the phones that have Wifi that Verizon sells require data packages too. I REFUSE to give Verizon $30 minimum for data when I have no need for it. If they had ANY CLUE about customer service they would simply allow you to buy whatever phone you wanted from them(or others) and activate them with data blocks.Until they do I guess I will either be stuck with my old phones or go provider shopping. Which I am sure Budone will find great satisfaction in.
On that topic. I am amazed that Versizon sits back and lets your apathy and disrespect of ANYONE who does not kowtow to the company line as they seem to. You are a "gold user" so clarly you are some sort of Verzion demi-god. Gotta say, there is not one word of disrespect in what I wrote. I do not puke on anyone, BUT I do present a different view than you or the OP may be willing to see with your, "Woe is me, have pity on me, and let me do what I want, if not involve the government to protect myself from myself attitude."
If you took time to look at posts of mine, I have had VZW in my crosshairs a few times, but they made it right. All in how you present yourself. Personally, I am willing to bet that corporate suck ups like you are the very reason many people finally DO make the break from Verizon. Your habit of puking all over people with legitimate complaints and the tolerance of same on this board lead ME and I am sure others to feel that your dismissive attitude is acceptable to, if not encouraged by Verizon in General. And yes, I have been edited in the past. But there was NOTHING in my prior post that has anything you state in it. You just dont like what I said. That is not towing the company line, that is knowing it costs a Ton of money to get a new deivce to market and data plans helps recoup the cost and allows upgrades and LTE to be deployed. You would be upset if you could not use your phone where there is NOT any WiFi.
Even though I have had issues with Verizon's service and corporate paradigm(especially the companys determination to exthort every penny it can from me), almost every Service Rep I have spoken to has been considerate, friendly and helpful. There have been one or two who, when I broached the possible need for finding a new provider, seems unconcerned, but in general I have been made to feel valued by the people I have spoken with. {please keep your posts courteous}
As for the demi-god comment, maybe I can get a MOD or ADMIN to change me from Gold to that!

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

Delta not generated in case of Actual Goods Issue date change in R3

Hi Gurus
In our implementation in BI Production server we are using 2LIS_12_VCHDR and 2LIS_12_VCITM
extractors where in R3 Deliveries are created first and then the PGI is done. While in BI Extractions As the data comes first time without any issue but when the PGI is done the PGI date Tech Name (WADAT_IST) gets updated in the R3 system but in RSA 7 too this delta is not getting generated. can any one tell the probable reason.
We are stuck there Early help needed.
Thanks
Shivani

Hi Shivani,
did you manage to solve your problem?
We are facing a similar issue:
- We also have both datasources active: 2LIS_12_VCITM and 2LIS_12_VCHDR
- In R/3 the following steps happened: A delivery was created and the record has issued to BW --> In PSA a request with status of good issue movement = A (correct!).
- Afterwards in R/3 the delivery has been picked and then, after 1 second, issued.
- This time the requests on the two datasource look different: in 2LIS_12_VCITM it seems like the good issue delta comes before the picking delta, so the result is that the delivery is read as still open (status of good issue movement = A Not correct!). In 2LIS_12_VCHDR, instead, is all correct: the last record in PSA refers to the good issue delta.
Change documents order in R/3 is correct, but it is not the same as the sequence in PSA of 2LIS_12_VCITM.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

FORCED DATA PACKAGE WITH PHONE UPGRADE

I have been a verizon customer since cell phones were cool. I started with a bag phone in my car. I have 5 verizon phones. Four on a family plan and one through a work plan.
My son wanted to upgrade his phone today which is eligible for early upgrade. I was very disappointed to find out that any decent phones available come with a mandated data package. There are two options - for the really nice phones it is $29.99/month, for the basic phones like the LG Envy which I have now it is $9.99/month.
So right now I spend on the family plan about $2000 per year on cell phones. (It used to be about $3,500 before I got my work phone). If we renewed to the basic LG Envy phones (which I like) it would be an extra $40/month or $480 per year. If we upgraded to the nice phones it would be an extra $120/month or $1,440 per year. For unlimited data usage this is not a bad deal.
There is only one problem - I DONT WANT IT OR NEED IT!!!!!!!! I have computers at home with wireless, a laptop with wireless, an i-touch with wireless. Also, my spouse or children do not need unlimited data or the internet on their phones! Who wants to pay for a 16 and 13 year old to have unlimited data and wireless?
I spoke to Verizon customer service and they told me which phones are available with no data package. Nothing against LG and Samsung but the phones available under those plans are garbage. They have small screens and are pathetic little phones with limited features. Even though I don't use the internet on my phone why wouldn't I want one with a great camera, a large screen for pictures and video messaging?
I realize from talking to customer service that they did surveys to see what customers wanted. I guess I am one of the only people out there that likes advanced features on a phone with out the internet available to me at all times. I don't agree with this. Or is it just that it is more convenient to squeeze another $500 or $1500 per year from a family? Why not double your sales when you can. I know every other carrier is doing it which is why Verizon can force this on its customers. Customer service reminded me of this several times.
Could we afford donating this money to Verizon for no purpose? Probably but why the {word filter avoidance}
would we? No wonder so many people are in debt. I think our money could be used better to send kids to college, pay the mortgage or invest it. I think this policy is hostile towards customers. If they really want to serve their customers offer the phones at higher price without a data package. I guess that wouldn't work since Verizon makes its money from service agreements not the equipment.

I have been a verizon customer since cell phones were cool. I started with a bag phone in my car. I have 5 verizon phones. Four on a family plan and one through a work plan.
My son wanted to upgrade his phone today which is eligible for early upgrade. I was very disappointed to find out that any decent phones available come with a mandated data package. There are two options - for the really nice phones it is $29.99/month, for the basic phones like the LG Envy which I have now it is $9.99/month.
So right now I spend on the family plan about $2000 per year on cell phones. (It used to be about $3,500 before I got my work phone). If we renewed to the basic LG Envy phones (which I like) it would be an extra $40/month or $480 per year. If we upgraded to the nice phones it would be an extra $120/month or $1,440 per year. For unlimited data usage this is not a bad deal.
There is only one problem - I DONT WANT IT OR NEED IT!!!!!!!! I have computers at home with wireless, a laptop with wireless, an i-touch with wireless. Also, my spouse or children do not need unlimited data or the internet on their phones! Who wants to pay for a 16 and 13 year old to have unlimited data and wireless?
I spoke to Verizon customer service and they told me which phones are available with no data package. Nothing against LG and Samsung but the phones available under those plans are garbage. They have small screens and are pathetic little phones with limited features. Even though I don't use the internet on my phone why wouldn't I want one with a great camera, a large screen for pictures and video messaging?
I realize from talking to customer service that they did surveys to see what customers wanted. I guess I am one of the only people out there that likes advanced features on a phone with out the internet available to me at all times. I don't agree with this. Or is it just that it is more convenient to squeeze another $500 or $1500 per year from a family? Why not double your sales when you can.

Dittos to TedKord!
There are many with situations similar to yours. Our first of 5 lines just went month-to-month this week as there are NO UPGRADE OPTIONS to upgrade from an enV2 without the mandatory data surcharge of $120 per year. If you are a facebook member you can do a search for Verizon and you will find a group there, several thousand strong now, that also agree and share your frustration. You can also find links there to contact the FTC, FCC, Verizon, etc.   Take a look and join us if you haven't already.

HT4623 I want to purchase a ipad 32gb in the larger size but have read many bad reviews that the wifi does not stay connected and I don't want to have to buy another data package as I already own an iphone that i pay data for, what are my concerns

I want to purchase an ipad 32gb in the larger size buy have read many bad reviews that they have problems staying connected to wifi. I don't want to have to buy a data package so I only want the wifi one. I already pay apple for my iphone data and I can't afford more money. Why are there so many bad reviews and are the newer ones that much better, according to many reviews they are not.Please help

I already pay apple for my iphone data
You pay your carrier for data, not Apple.
Why are there so many bad reviews
Where? Regardless, there are always going to be a handful of people having some sort of issue with any given device, but I would not therefore assume that you would be one of them.

Maximum package size for data packages was exceeded and Process terminated

Hello Guru,
When i am execute the process chain i got this message Maximum package size for data packages was exceeded and Process terminated,any body help to me in this case how can i proceed.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
When the load is not getiing processed due to huge volume of data, or more number of records per data packet, Please try the below option.
1) Reduce the IDOC size to 8000 and number of data packets per IDOC as 10. This can be done in info package settings.
2) Run the load only to PSA.
3) Once the load is succesfull , then push the data to targets.
In this way you can overcome this issue.
You can also try RSCUSTV* where * is an integer to change data load settings.
Change Datapackage size for extraction, use Transaction RSCUSTV6.
Change Datapackage size when upload from an R/3 system, set this value in R/3 Customizing (SBIW -> General settings -> Control parameters for data transfer).
IN R/3, T-Code SBIW --> Genaral settings --> Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer (source system specific)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
JituK
