Simple update rule question

Hi Gurus, you gave me the right answer, but please help me with this, i see below update rule, it does not tell me the logic or program how it populate the group cost
tell me where i can find the programs for update rule in system by looking below code or from ur knowledge. its very imp for me to understand how the group cost get the value but there is no code it just say result = ws_zgrp_cost which is not the answer please help
PROGRAM UPDATE_ROUTINE.
$$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line -

Hi Sonia,
Definitely, the value for that field is not calculated at this UR level. If there is a start routine, it might have been calculated/derived there. If it is pdated for all records in the start routine it does not make sense to have a UR just to assign this as it is already assigned in the start routine. Please check you start routine. Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

An update rule question - Filter out categories within an update rule

Hi All,
I am trying to filter out some categories within the update rule and I appreciate any help with points.
Here is the scenario:
My category field is Z_CAT and I want to delete all the categories except 'A' 'B' and 'C'.
I tried couple routines but non of them worked fine so far.
Regards,
Mike

HI Mike,
One is that is suggested by my friends
Instead of a Hardcore filter based on your requirement In the DTP you can filter the data .
In the DTP ,Se;ect that object in the Filter and select the Criteria as Not Equal to A B and C and then Extract the data.
The advantage is that even if u want to filter or add one category say "D" the it is posiible at the DTP level whereas at the Routnie level u have to make changes and collect them i a request and then u have to transport it.
So decide based on ur requirement.

Simple Bar Ruler question

I ought to know the answer to this - but find I don't!
Why does my *Bar Ruler* show subdivisions/increments of 3's ( +1, 1.3, 2, 2.3+ ) even which I'm using a time signature of 4/4?
Have I inadvertently changed a default setting somewhere?
Any explanations gratefully received.
TIA!

seeren,
Of course!
Thanks; you've helped. All making sense now.
I guess it was all too easy to think as computer people when '0' is the first in any series

Can I use the Debugger to debug why a line in UPDATE RULE gives no values?

Hi,
in a simple Update Rule, I had the routine below:
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-QTY.
"( The goal was to calculate the field MyCclQTY in the cube; Routine was between ODS and Cube ):
The cube output gave a BLANK while QTY has 300; although I expected to see 300 for MyCclQTY:
e.g. of Cube Output:
QTY---MyCclQTY
300------BLANK
In the attempt to see what is going on, I used the Debugger for the first time.
In the update routine for MyCclQTY, I added the line break-point as follows as a booklet I am reviewing, directs:
Break-Point.
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-QTY.
Now when I switched to the debugging mode, I run Single Step.
I was not too sure what to do here other than, continuously clicking on Single Step.
When it got to the line:
== > catch cx_sy_move_cast_error.
A message appeared at the bottom of the screen
u201CException from the class CX_SY_MOVE_CAST_ERROR was caught u201C appeared at bottom of screen.
1. Any hints on this message?
2. On the screen in the booklet that I am review, there was a split screen with the one on the right side showing values but I could not get that on my screen. Any hints on that?
Thanks.

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

Inserting code in final steps of Update Rule transformation

Hi,
I am extracting data into a cube from an ODS and doing some aggregation in the process. E.g 3 records in the ODS might become 1 in the cube.
This is fine for some things like Quantity, but not ideal for things like unit price. One work around is for the ODS to have a counter.
e.g
MATERIAL QUANITITY UNIT_PRICE   COUNTER
1234     13         $1.50         1
1234     21         $1.50         1
1234     45         $1.50         1
This comes across into a cube like
MATERIAL QUANITITY UNIT_PRICE   COUNTER
1234     79         $4.50         3
- unit price can then be calculated by dividing unit price by counter - however it needs to be done within the query.
I thought perhaps we could perform this calculation when populating the cube, if the items were firstly collected within an interim table before being passed to the return_table.
i.e
1. Define key figure using ABAP routine and return table.
2. Append INTERIM_TABLE within update rules for each read of the ODS
3. Once all ODS records have been read and inserted at an aggregate level within INTERIM_TABLE, loop through INTERIM_TABLE, perform calculation and append RETURN_TABLE.
My question is: Is there a simple way to determine that all ODS items have been read (like an "at last" statement) and if so, where can this code be inserted? Can it be simply placed in the update rules routine if I have the appropriate logic to determine that all items have been read?
Thanks
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
   Why cant you use Addition, minimum or maximum in update rules...?? Here you can use Maximum option for Unit Price.

Data package's data coolection in one internal table of Update rule in bw

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement in bw which demands to create update routine, in which I need to find the vendor for the material, which doesn't have vendor by some business rule but, here in this case data is divided into different datapackages so here in this case material data is splited over different datapackages.
One material can have n no of records with differnt plants.
My only question is like can we collect all datapackage data in one internal table.
Ex: if there are total 5 datapckages, so in update rule can we collect all these datapackages records?
Please suggest your opinion.
Thanks in advance,
Snehal.
Moderator message: please have a look in the BW forums.

hi,
i think your problem is need of a work area...
Using "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_zhrp" You must use " check lt_zhrp is not initial "
DATA: lt_zhrp TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF zhrp,
lt_zhrt TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF zhrt.
*new
data: wa_zhrp type lt_zhrp.
SELECT tabnr
FROM zhrp
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_zhrp
WHERE objid = lv_posid.
LOOP AT lt_zhrp INTO wa_zhrp.
SELECT low
FROM zhrt
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_zhrt
WHERE tabnr = wa_zhrp-tabnr " lt_zhrp-tabnr
AND attrib = 'NET_VALUE'.
ENDLOOP.

"Error when activating update rule" after changing ODS key

Hi Gurus,
I have problem when transporting in productive system an existing ODS & the update rule linked. The message is : "Error when activating update rule".
This is when i move one field from the key to a simple field of the ODS.
Before transporting requests, i deleted data in the ODS by right-click on ODS --> Request tab --> select the request --> click on delete....
I don't understand because i did the same in Qual environment and everything is OK : transport request & ODS loading...
Please help.....

Hello,
Please try to check/perform the following steps:
1- You must ensure for the update rule have mapping between infosources
   and ODS/CUBEs correct, this means that also these objects need
   to be of the same version in the source system of the transport as in
   target system.
2- Please ensure all infoobjects in the cube are active.Please
   reactivate all the objects again in source system.
3- Ensure all infoobjects are found in the communication structure.
4- Please try to collect the update rule via BW transport connection
   with the grouping option "only necessary objects" and then transport
   those objects again.
Could you please reactivate the infocube and its update rules again
and then create a new transport for this infocube and transport it
again.
Best regards,
Paula Csete

How do I tell if a particular update rule is used

I have inherited a sales reporting application in BW 3.5. It has update rules from 2LIS_13_VDITM to 4 level 1 ODS. There are update rules from those 4 level 1 ODS to Level 2 ODS and cubes. So far so good. However there are also update rules from 2LIS_13_VDITM to the L2 ODS and to the cubes direct.
My belief is that these update rules are never used. This is based on the production infopackage settings which do NOT have these objects ticked as data targets. However i would like to know for sure that these update rules have never been used.
Question: Is there a way to tell this eg.
a) is there a table linking infosource to destination with a date last used,
b) or a table linking infopackage to destinations showing when a particular destination was last changed,
c) or some other mechanism?

Hi,
Chk the L2 ODS which have update rules from 2LIS_13_VDITM if it has data loaded in it in production.
If its loaded means it is used.
You can also chk whether the InfoPackage which loads this data is used in any process chain, and then chk if that chain is scheduled in production.

Mansi

I didnot changed any thing in ODS,I Just created the new infosource with only two characteristics and created the update rules direct updating,with out any routines.
I activated the update rules in Dev couple of times and transported to PD,but every time it is giving same error,there was no issues upto QA,
Please suggest anybody how to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your replies,
Iam checking from transport request error log,iam getting error message as I mentioned in my question,
iam not getting detail information on error log,Update rules are available in PD system but in inactive state,
I did the Update rules check it is giving message 'no erreors found in update rules'.
I collected all dependent objects from transport collecter,still same error,I tried from Program

Cannot Create Update Rule from Infosource to Cube

Hello;
I am a beginner to BI and am learning. This may be a very basic question, but I got stuck.
In the create update rule screen, I get an error message that says
Data Source (whatever the name is) not maintained. (check your entries)
Could some one help as to where I went wrong?
Thx,
Sushma
Su

Goto your InfoSource and open DataSource Structure and transfer structure. Check if the structure is correct, make the necessary changes if required and activate it. Then create update rules providing correct infosource name. Until you create /activate your transfer structure, you won't be able to create update rules.
Reward point if helps.

Ashok

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

Update rule from attribute

Hi, my problem may be simple to solve, but I dont know too much ABAP so need some help.
I want to populate Cost Center in my cube by mapping it to Responsible Cost Center (attribute of Order Number).
How can I do that?
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank,
Insert Cost Center in Communication Structure and then in Start Routine of Update Rules insert this code (substitute definition with the IO code, cut off '0'):
data: begin of t_costcent occurs 0,
costcenter like /BI0/Pcostcenter-costcenter,
responsible like /BI0/Pcostcenter-responsible,
end of t_costcent.
select * into corresponding fields of table t_costcent
from /BI0/Pcostcenter where objvers = 'A'.
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
read table t_costcent with key
responsible = DATA_PACKAGE-responsible
if sy-subrc = 0.
DATA_PACKAGE-costcenter = t_costcent-costcenter.
modify DATA_PACKAGE.
endif.
endloop.
Ciao.
Riccardo.

ABAP assistance - start routine logic in update rule

I have used an existing update rule and have based my logic around the same. The purpose of the rule is to look up customer master data and get a subset of customer numbers from the transaction records so that the values for customer number from the transactional data will not be updated if it does not match with existing master data customer numbers.
The loads are full and we drop the data before we load.
I have listed the logic below (the number at the front is to be considered as the line number) and a list of open questions that I have thereafter:
Start routine logic:
1 DATA: l_index LIKE sy-tabix.
2 DATA: BEGIN OF ls_customer,
3        customer TYPE /BI0/OICUSTOMER,
4        objver TYPE RSOBJVERS,
5     END OF ls_customer,
6      lt_customer LIKE TABLE OF ls_customer.
7 REFRESH: lt_customer.
8 LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
all customers from data package
9    ls_customer-custno = DATA_PACKAGE-custid.
10 ls_customer-objver = 'A'
11    APPEND ls_customer TO lt_customer.
12   ENDLOOP.
12 SORT lt_customer.
13 DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM lt_customer.
14   IF NOT lt_customer[] IS INITIAL.
15    SELECT /BI0/OICUSTOMER RSOBJVERS
16      FROM /BI0/PCUSTOMER
17      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_customer
18      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_customer
19      WHERE ls_customer-custno = DATA_PACKAGE-custid
20      AND ls_customer-objver = 'A'
21    SORT lt_customer BY customer ASCENDING
22 ENDIF.
Questions
Line
1 - what is the purpose of this line? What is it that is being declared
2 - in some code I have seen this line with OCCURS 0 at the end what does this mean with and without the term?
4 - I am using the Data Element name is this correct or should I use the field name?
3 - 5 here I declare an internal structure/table is that correct?
6 - here I declare a work area based on the internal table is that correct?
7 - What would happen if I avoided using the REFRESH statement?
8 - 12 - Is this syntactically correct, I am trying to get a set of data which is the customer numbers which match the master data customers and the master data record is án active version and than appendíng to the work area?
13 - My understanding is this will reduce the number of records in the work area is this correct and needed?
14 - 22 I am trying to identify my required set of data but feel I am repeating myself, could someone advise?
Finally what logic would I actually need to write in the key figure object, could I use something like:
Result = lt_customer.
Thanks
Edited by: Niten Shah on Jun 30, 2008 8:06 PM

1. This line is not required
2. OCCURS 0 is the OLD way of defining an internal table with that structure. As it is, it just defines a flat structure.
3. Data element is usually best
3-5 Yes
6. No. Here you are declaring a table of the type of the flat structure. Just as the ABAP says!
7. Nothing. But by putting this in, you ensure that you know the state of the table (empty) before you start looping through the data package
8-12. You can tell if it is syntactically correct by pressing Ctrl-F2 when in the editor. Looks ok.
13. Ensures your list of customers contains no duplicated. The code up to this point is building a list of all the unique customers in the data package.
14-22. Goes to the database and brings back ONLY those customers which are found in the master data. Looks ok.
This is a start routine (that's why you've got a data package). You don't use result. You should update the datapackage. But this you haven't done. Double click on the table name /BIC/PCUSTOMER to get the correct field names.
So you have to loop through the data package again, and check if the customer in the datapackage is lt_customer. If it is, fine, otherwise you blank it and report an error, or set an error message or whatever.
I wouldn't do it like this. I'd do something like this:
STATICS: st_customer TYPE HASHED TABLE OF TYPE /bi0/oicustomer
                              WITH UNIQUE KEY TABLE_LINE.
* st_customer retains its value between calls, so only populate if empty
* In one run of the infopackage, this will mean you do only one read of
* the master data, so very efficient.
IF st_customer IS INITIAL.
SELECT customer FROM /BI0/PCUSTOMER
                          INTO TABLE st_customer
                          WHERE objvers EQ 'A'. " Only active values
ENDIF.
* Go through data package
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
* Check whether the customer exists.
READ TABLE st_customer TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS
              WITH TABLE KEY table_line = DATA_PACKAGE-custid.
CHECK sy-subrc IS NOT INITIAL.
* If you get here, the customer isn't valid. So I'm just setting it blank
CLEAR DATA_PACKAGE-custid.
MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE. " Updates the datapackage record
ENDLOOP.
Even this is not fully optimised, but it's not bad.
I strongly suggest that you get yourself sent on the basic ABAP programming course if you're going to do a lot of this. Otherwise, read the ABAP documentation in the help.sap.com, and, from the editor, get the cursor on each ABAP keyword and press F1 to read the ABAP help.
