Simple creation of Update Rule from BW Data Source

Hi guys,
 Pertaining standard SAP Business Content extractors
 I am referring to InfoCube : 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions)
 I am attempting to create an Update Rule from Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount)
 This Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount) is connected to BW Data Source(Not R/3!) 0HR_PA_PA_1
 I have created an Info Package for this Info Source and managed to get 15 records{In Contrast to my 68800 Records from Info Source : 0HR_PA_0(Employee)}
 So, when I create an Update Rule to Connect Info Cube: 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions) to Info Source to Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount), I get the following error
ERROR : IC=0PA_C01 IS=0HR_PA_PA_1 error when checking the update rules
Could you please also advice, why do I only get 15 records for Data Source 0HR_PA_PA_1 ?
P/S : I am on BW 3.5

Hey Rohini,
 This Data Source: 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount) is tricky to me because it`s a BW Data Source.
 Exact Error Message is as follows :-
"Error Message : RSAU461
 IC=0PA_C01 IS=0HR_PA_PA_1 error when checking the update rules "
 My Exact Problem is that I don`t see any values for the following fields in my Info Cube : 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions)
Country;
Country Code;
Gender;
Nationality;
Language;
Postal Code;
Region;
Position;
Job;
Payroll Area;
Payroll Group;
Pay Scale's;
Pay Grade's
This is because, this information is supplied by InfoSource : 0HR_PA_PA_1
But I don`t have an Update Rule for this InfoSource in my InfoCube : 0PA_C01
So, that's why I am attempting to create this additional Update Rule
 And also, could someone enlighten me why would SAP not include such a standard Update Rule when they have already idenfied those needed fields in a Cube ? This is suppose to be a STANDARD workable Business Content right ?
P/S: I have applied Note : 336229

Update 0funct_loc from 2 data source

Dear all,
i am filling 0funct_loc from 2 data source, one is 0funct_loc_attr, and the other is 1cl** from characteristics data source.
My problem is both data sources work fine, however after uploading 0funct_loc, and try to upload run1cl**, it finds records but does not update specific fields of 0funct_loc as that funct_loc exists.
My data flow is 2 data sources(0funct_loc_attr, and the other is 1cl** ) in the bottom, one info source joining that and update rule to 0funct_loc.
Any help?
Thanks..

Hi John,
What are you trying to do here? In case each datasource will deliver different data (characteristics) of the function location, I would suggest to create two infosources (one for each datasource) and update the available characteristics.
In the monitor of the function location, you will still see that no records have been added, but still the attributes that are solely delivered by one datasource should be updated in that case.
hope this helps.
best regards,
Arno

How to debug start routines of update rules from ODS to InfoCube

Dear gurus,
I have an update rule from ODS to InfoCube. I wrote a start routine in the update rule. Now I want to debug it. I went to monitor and simulate update the data package and only got the prompt "No data exists in the corresponding PSA table". So how can I debug this start routine?
Thanks in advance.
Jin Ming

Jin,
In order to use PSA between ODS and InfoCube, you may have to use an exclusive InfoPackage and load separately. In that InfoPackage, choose the radio button to use a PSA.
I think you are currently updating the InfoCube directly without using a separate InfoPackage.
Look for an InfoSource under DataMarts (search for 8<ODS Technical name>) and create your InfoPackage there.
Good luck.

Copy Update Rule from Business Content

Hi All,
Currently I have activated some standard BI Content E.g. InfoCube 0FIAR_C03, DSO 0FIAR_O03, InfoSource 0FI_AR_4 and all the corresponding update rules.
Now I have copied both InfoCube and DSO into another customized version E.g. ZAR_C03 and ZAR_O03. I managed to copy the same update rule from InfoSource 0FI_AR_4 to ZAR_O03 using the template but I don't have the option of copying the same update rule from ZAR_O03 to ZAR_C03 using the same update rule of 0FIAR_O03 to 0FIAR_C03.
I know I have the choice to manually re-create all the details but is there any other workaround?
Please read through carefully my question. I have seen some forum asking to load data from 0FIAR_O03 to then ZAR_O03 then so forth.
Purpose of doing the above method is because I want to remain the business content as what it is and just to copy it to Z version for customization.
Thanks
David Yee

Hi All,
Is there any other second opinion related to this issue before I close the question?
Thanks

"Old" update rule from ODS not working

Hi Gurus,
I need to set up the "old" fashioned update rule to load data from an ODS1 to another ODS2.
The thing is that I need to set up an update rule because I need to implement a Return Table Routine that is not supported (as far as I know) by the new Transformation/DTP.
When I select option (through the right mouse click over ODS1) "Other Options" - "Create Update Rule" it takes me out of the RSA1 and leaves me in the main menu making it impossible to create a new update rule.
The strange thing is that I have this working from and ODS to an InfoCube.....
Suggestions, a workaround??
Andrea.

Hi Jerry,
Just to confirm that this is not working. The tys_TG_1 structure only shows me the target infoprovider structure. Check that in the how to, to be able to derive employee first you need to assign eache source_filed to the result_field leaving employee blank.
I need to have in the same place, the source_field structure (source infoprovider field structure) and the result_field structure (target infoprovider structure). That is what the "old" return table gives me as in the same place I can have the communication_structure (source infoprovider field structure) with the return_table structure (target infoprovider structure).
Just to understand, in the source infoprovider I have 12 Key Figures (1 for each period) and I have to split each incoming record to 12 records. If I work only with the result_field structure tys_TG_1 and the result_package tyt_TG_1 I'm not able the see those 12 KF.
So... return table functionality is not fully supported by BW 7 as far as I know.
Any other ideas why I'm not able to create the old Update Rules from an ODS?
Regards,
Andrea.

Update rule problem for date in Prod

My scenario is like this:-
ODS 2 is loaded from ODS 1, in ODS 1 there is a data field calendar day (DATS, time characteristic) and there is a data field posting date (DATS, characteristic) in ODS 2. In the update rule, the posting date is updated from calendar day by a formula source.
The problem is the posting date data field is updated into ODS 2 correctly in development box but it is not updated (blank) in production box. I can't figure out what is the cause, hopefully someone can give me some help. Thanks.
Cheers!
Cecil

The only different is the development system is having this part of code in the update rules program compare to production system. Do I need to compile the update rules formula manually?

*Formula Calculator *

Error while copying Update rules from One Cube to other

I am getting the following error message while I was trying to copy an existing update rule from an existing InfoCube to a New InfoCube. Has anyone experienced this before? Please let me know how to resolve this.
Formula 3ZKQ....... (Object version M) could not be read.
The new and original cubes are custom cubes.
Thanks!

Hi Vinod,
Check the update rules for the original cube. Are they active? It appears that they contain a formula...check this too.
Hope this helps...

Error while copy of Update Rules from ODS 0SD_O03 to InfoCube 0SD_C13

Hi all,
I work on a NW04s SPS9 System I would like to simply copy Update Rules (from an ODS to an InfoCube) from the BCT to the 1:1 Z-Copies of these Objects.
To do so, I copied the InfoProviders 0SD_O03 and 0SD_C13 to Z-Versions. In SAP BCT the InfoCube is updated from the ODS. The ODS itself is updated from InfoSource.
After successfully copying the two InfoProviders as next step I tried to copy the Update Rules from the Content version Objects to the Z-Version Objects to link them.
Similar to copying update rules in 3.5 I tried
- right click on "ZSD_C13"
- choose Additional Functions - Create Update Rules"
- choose DataSource: ODS Object "ZSD_O03"
- choose Copy from: InfoCube "0SD_C13"
This result in the error "0SD_C13 is not suitable as a template for copying update rules".
Some hints that might help:
1. The very same error occurs if I try to copy the Update Rules from 0SD_O03 to 0SD_C13.
2. I also tried to copy both Update Rules (to C12 & C13) on a BW 3.5 system where it worked fine: The update rules from both Z-ODSs to both Z-Cubes were copied correctly 1:1 and without any errors.
3. In the NW04s System I was able to copy the Update Rules from the InfoSource 2LIS_11_VAITM to 0SD_O01 (as well as from 2LIS_11_VAHDR to ODS 0SD_O03). So I only cannot copy Update Rules from ODSs to InfoCubes while it is possible to copy Update Rules from InfoSources to ODSs.
4. During copy of 0SD_O03 the system warned: "InfoObject 0FISCVARNT needs to be in key for DataStore object ZSD_O03". No matter whether I move this IO to the keys of the Z-ODS, the Update Rules copy does not work.
- This warning does not show up on BW3.5 when I copy the very same ODS. Can anyone explain this?
- This warning is not displayed during the copy of ODS 0SD_O01, just for 0SD_O03.
5. Obviously during a preceding test I actually must have been able to copy the Update Rules for another copy of 0SD_C13 (as I can see the Update Rules in the SAPGUI). I stopped this first test as I was not able to do the Update Rules copy for 0SD_C12.
Yet as of today I cannot copy Update Rules this for both cubes 0SD_C13 as well as 0SD_C12. So yesterday there was no error on copying the Update Rules to InfoCube ZSD_C13, but today there is. To my knowledge nothing has been changed in the System Setup / Customizing in the mean time.
6. For both cubes ZSD_C13 as well as ZSD_C12 it is possible to copy Update Rules that map from the BCT ODS to the Z-InfoCbes. So I can copy Update Rules from 0SD_O03 to ZSD_C13 and from 0SD_O01 to ZSD_C12. This would point in the direction that the copied ODSes are the source of this behavior?
I am not sure whether this is a special NW04s behavior and how to use it correctly so the Update Rules can be copied.
Please could you help on how to copy these Update Rules in NW04s or share your experience if you had similar?
Thanks a lot,
Werner

Hi Vinod,
Check the update rules for the original cube. Are they active? It appears that they contain a formula...check this too.

Activate Update Rules from Business Content

Hello,
I am trying to install 0QM_C10 from business content. Every thing works fine except there are no update rules (there are 3 info sources for this cube). I am new to this and it doesn't make sense for me to manually create (ofcourse the system does the proposal) update rules. Since that is lot of work. I was expecting some transaction / tool where I can activate the update rules from the Business Content (since I can see the update rules in the business content under "Display Description". Is there any tool like that?
Or, am I doing some thing wrong so the update rules are not automatically installed from the business content along with Cube and info sources?
Note: I did separate installation for cubes as well as info sources from business content using Grouping by "Only necessary objects" option.
Thanks in advance.

Populating a subform from a data source.

I understand that the help file in LiveCycle Designer describes the procedure for connecting fields in a form to columns in a data base. I have tried for several days now to populate simple customer information (name, address, state, zip, phone, fax) from a data base.
I have exported the data into an acess database, created the dsn, created the data connection, an secured the database. I am still getting an error message that says "Connection for Source Data Connection failed because the environment is not trusted." I am trying everything I can think of to create the proper combination of user-level security for the database and proper use of the "connection string", but now I have read in the forums that even upon success of this effort, my fellow employees will not be able to use the form properly unless we purchase "Reader Extension Server"
Is there any way to populate customer data in a form, from a data source, that is compatible with Reader, without buying "extension server"
Thank you in advance for your support.
Regards,
Greg Mitchell

Here is a quote from the LiveCycle Designer 7.0 Help file
OLEDB is the only database connection that you can connect to from Designer. Through the use of the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for ODBC Drivers, you can also access databases identified by the ODBC data source name (DSN). You can use OLE drivers other than the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for ODBC, however the form must be certified in Acrobat before it will function at run time.
In Acrobat, security concerns dictate that you cannot specify an ODBC connection string by using the Driver=; syntax. Therefore, the client computer needs a DSN configured for ODBC connections.
If you are using external data sources in a form design that you want users to fill in Adobe Reader, you must set
usage rights for the form by using Reader Extensions Server.
Unfortunately it looks like a direct DB connection requires Reader Extensions. Fortunately you can get Reader Extensions pretty cheap from
FormRouter.
As an alternative you can submit the data to a server script (like ASP) and have it write into the Database. There are plenty of sources for writing ASP for PDF files. Just do a search on this forum, or on the web in general.

Problem with delta update on customised export data source.

Hi all BW gurus,
I have created several customised export data sources in the R/3 system. And I have made use of the utility program <Z_CHANGE_DELTA_PROCESS> to update the ROOSOURCE table.
While this can result in being able to do initial update (instead of full update), the subsuquent delta update is not working.
In RSA7, the datasource is with green light and in RSA3, the extractor can extractor data out of it.
Does anybody have some idea on this?
I heard that there is a way to change the Business Transaction Event (BTE), but I don't quite understand how this is performed. And wonder if this is the only way out. To me, the triggering point would be the same, meaning the InfoPackage would be executed, then call the extractors in R/3 to extract the delta update in order to load into the InfoCube.
And how do others do for executing delta update of the customised data source?
Thanks a lot!!
The utility program of <Z_CHANGE_DELTA_PROCESS>:
=================================================
report z_change_delta_process .
*P_DATAS DataSource
*P_DELTAP Delta Process for DataSource
parameters:
p_datas type roosource-oltpsource,
p_deltap type roosource-delta.
tables:
roosource.
data:
ls_roosource type roosource.
if p_datas(2) ne 'Z_'.
 message 'The DataSource needs to begin with ''Z_''.' type 'E'.
endif.
select single * from roosource into ls_roosource
 where oltpsource = p_datas
 and objvers = 'A'.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
 ls_roosource-delta = p_deltap.
 update roosource from ls_roosource.
message 'The DataSource has been updated successfully.' type 'I'.
else.
 message 'The DataSource entered is not valid, try again.' type 'E'.
endif.

Doesn't anyone have any idea on this topic?
Appreciate for all the help. Thanks.

How to use a property from other data source

Scenario: we have 2 datasources, that each have their own set of records having different properties. What I need to do is grab 1 property that exists in all records of 1 of the datasources and display it in the records of the other datasource. There is 1 "common" property (called by different names) in the records of both Data Sources, that have the same value; so this property could be the link between those records even though they belong to 2 different Data Sources.
Here's a simple example:
Data Source " Department" has records that have the properties: 'Name', 'Age' and 'Nationality'.
Data Source "Staff" has records that have the properties:'Staff_name', 'Position'.
The 'Name' and 'Staff_name' have the same values, and can be used to link the 2 records.
I'd like to get the records in the 'Department' data souce to also contain the property 'Position" from the "Staff" datasource .
Is there a manipulator that can do this?
Thanks!
J

Thanks Pravin,
But I don't want to join all data from the 2 datasources - I just want one property from one data source to appear in the records of the other data source.

Data come from difference data source

In my saturation, my program's data are come from difference data source. For example, the program will retrieve PO balance, material consumption, future consumption and so on. In my program logic, i retrieve all of the material number, the retrieve the PO balance, material consumption... into internal table, then loop the internal table of material number and update this table from internal table of po balance, material consumption..., but i found that the program's running time is long. How to improve the performance or any suggestion for the program logic. Thanks.

Hi,
Few Guildlines:
1. program is slow mainly because Database load is too high, try to reduce it and that load can be shared by ABAP. gotrhough SE30-perfromance tuning.
Also, in Se30 u will get all most important Tips and tricks, follow it,...
2. Try to find out summary table and dont try always to get data from basic tables.
3. Try to use perfect SELECT statemetn with porper joins, which is most important in reduction of load on DB.
4. you can make ABAP part faster, following coding standard like use of Binary search.
5. Use SLIN to find out which part of program is taking too much time, try to reduce it.
Hope this will guide u.

Integrating ADF Business Components from heterogenous data sources

Hi all,
has anybody experience in integrating ADF Business Components from heterogenous data sources like ViewObjects from a DB2 database as LOV in a ViewObject from a Oracle 11g?
What is the best practice approach to integrate such different ADF Business Components in declarative and programmatic ways?
Thank you!

thank you for the answer! We already updated out BC according to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/multidatabaseapp-085183.html
The DB2 ViewObjects are exported as ADF Libraries and imported in the BC of the project with Oracle DB ViewObjects. In the root AM I created instances from the imported DB2-ViewObjects as well as from the Oracle-ViewObjects, but when I start AM test environment it takes the preconfigured Data Source of the root AM. So I probably will pesneed to create two AMs for the different ViewObject types and for the two connection types. My question is what will be best practices to use data from the DB2-VO of AM_DB2 in the OracleDB-VOs as part of AM_Oracle? Should it be done only programmatically or can it be done also declaratively and any suggestions how to proceed?
Thank you!

Combining Data into one Cube from two Data-sources..

Dear Experts,
I am pulling data from two data sources and trying to combine in one Info-Cube. The data are like
Data-Source 01
1. GUID --Common
2.Document No ( User Entry)
3.Dist. Channel
4.Transaction Type
5.Date and Quantity
Data-Source 02
1.GUID -- Common
2.Billing Document ( If User drill down according to Document No , Billing Document should come in the report )
3.Billing date
4.Net Value
Out of the datas , The GUID is common between the 2 data-sources. I was thinking that, tha data will take according to its place and If i select the Document No in Report, it will atomatically fetch all the data like Tran type, dist ch, Billing Document No , Billing date.. .
The problem is , in the report Tha data is not coming as I was thinking.
And Another problem is , In future I need to create a Multiprovider between the above mentioned Info-cube and One ODS. And DOCUMENT NO is common in Cube and ODS.
Please Suggest,
How can I proceed for the following requirement.
Thanks,
Sanjana

Hi Sanjana,
In your case cube will create a problem because it will have multiple records . For example :
Data-Source 01 :
1. GUID -- 101
2.Document No - 999
3.Dist. Channel - DL
4.Transaction Type - GPRO
5.Date and Quantity - 20.02.2011 & 20
Data-Source 02
1.GUID -- 101
2.Billing Document - 6000
3.Billing date - 03.03.2011
4.Net Value - 500
Your cube will have 2 records . And your requirement is to show above two records in 1 record in the report .
Why dont you make an ODS in between , where you can put GUID as the Key field and rest all the fields as data fields. Create 2 transformations to this DSO from the 2 datasources . And let it get updated one by one . Your DSO will have 1 record only . Now either you do reporting on this DSO or take the data to the cube .
Hope the above reply was helpful.
Kind Regards,
Ashutosh Singh
