Start Routine (ABAP) in Transformations

Hi Experts,
As i am new to BW please update me with the required ABAP Code or atlease with the skeleton Code
Source & target fields
Emp_ID ZEMP_ID (CHAR)
Start Date: ZESTA_DT (DATS)
End Date : ZEEND_DT (DATS)
My requirment is to write a start routine that split the record in to 2
Emp_ID-Start_Date-Termination Date
0001----01/01/2005---01/01/2008
0002----01/01/2007---
(Termination date will be blank if emp is still working)
As per my requirment i would like to see data in DSO as
Emp_ID-Start_Date-Termination Date
0001----01/01/2005---
0001----01/01/2005---01/01/2008
0002----01/01/2007---
I want to split the records of an employee
Please let me know if u need any information
Thanks

Hi bw learner,
In Update rules, at any keyfigure, you write a routine with return table check box selected.
Write the below code.
first of all you need to declare a internal table of type data target
(Example: DATA: ITAB LIKE /BIC/FZ_CUBE). here i consider Z_CUBE as data target.
then loop the DATA_PACKAGE.
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
transfer corresponding values from DATA_PACKAGE to itab.
then assign itab-Termination Date = ZEEND_DT.
append ITAB to RESULT_TABLE.=
endloop.
By this, whatever the records that are present in the RESULT_TABLE will be added into the Data target.
I hope you can handle now.
Regards,
S P.

How do you identify the Logical system in start routine of a transformation

My scenario is this. I have five r3 systems that I am extracting from. In the start routine of the transformation from the r3 data source to my data store I am going to delete data and I need to know the source system id. How do I identify the logical system or source system id in the transformation. Is there a system field that contains this information. I do not want to hard code the source system id in the routine.

hi
have a lool at tables rsreqdone and rsbkrequest with a join you should be able to determine the source.

How to write the start routine in the transformations ?

Hi Experts,
I am working on BI 7, As I want to write a start routine in transformations of 0FIGL_O02 DSO, to allow the GL accounts with cost center data. Already there is a delete statement please find.
*DELETE SOURCE_PACKAGE where BAL_FLAG = 'X'. I had made comment to allow the G/L accounts. since I have some GL Accounts which does'nt have the cost center data, so in this case I have to write a ABAP code to allow this G/L accounts with cost center data.
So Let me know if anyone can help me how to write the ABAP code in the start routine.
Thanks

How to declare a internal table in start routine i.e. transformations

Hi Gurus,
How to define an internal table in a start rotuine?
any help greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Reddy.

Hi,
types: begin of str,
field1 type c,
field2 type c,
end of str.
data : itab type table of str with header line.
the above code should be inserted where it says insert code below this. this will be like a global decleration. this table will be available for all the routines that you write in the transformation.
All the best !!

Convert ABAP code in start routine/update rule to transform. start routine

Dear BW ABAPers,
I have created a custom purchasing info cube (YCP_PURC1) based on 0CP_PURC1 standard cube. I would like to convert this new data flow to BI7 (from 3.x), and convert the standard update rule to transformation. I would need to rewrite the below start routine from the standard update rule to a start routine ABAP code in the newly created transformation / start routine. My ABAP knowledge is limited. Will you please help?
*this is the start routine from the update rule. As a side note, the data source is 2LIS_02_SCL.
LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE.
 IF ( SOURCE_PACKAGE-cppvlc EQ 0
 AND SOURCE_PACKAGE-cppvoc EQ 0
 AND SOURCE_PACKAGE-cpquaou EQ 0 ).
 DELETE SOURCE_PACKAGE.
 CONTINUE.
 ENDIF.
no_scl is initial ( e.g. for good receipts, billing)
value has to be set depending on storno
 IF SOURCE_PACKAGE-no_scl IS INITIAL.
 IF SOURCE_PACKAGE-storno = 'X'.
 SOURCE_PACKAGE-no_scl = -1.
 ELSE.
 SOURCE_PACKAGE-no_scl = 1.
 ENDIF.
 MODIFY SOURCE_PACKAGE.
 ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
Many thanks and look forward to your kind feedback.
Kind regards,
Csaba

Dear All, Durgesh,
thanks to you all for your valuable input. Mainly the ABAP part was more interesting for me.
Durgesh, thanks for your input, it was useful. I just had to change the info objects to data source fields and add the lines before the loop:
DATA: I_PACKAGE TYPE TYT_SC_1.
 FIELD-SYMBOLS <i_package> TYPE tys_sc_1.
 I_PACKAGE[] = SOURCE_PACKAGE[].
 LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE assigning <i_package>.
 IF ( <i_package>-BWGEO EQ 0
 AND <i_package>-BWGEOO EQ 0
 AND <i_package>-BWMNG EQ 0 ).
 DELETE SOURCE_PACKAGE index sy-tabix.
 CONTINUE.
 ENDIF.
no_scl is initial ( e.g. for good receipts, billing)
value has to be set depending on storno
 IF <i_package>-NOSCL IS INITIAL.
 IF <i_package>-ROCANCEL = 'X'.
 <i_package>-NOSCL = -1.
 ELSE.
 <i_package>-NOSCL = 1.
 ENDIF.
 ENDIF.
 ENDLOOP.
Points have been assigned accordingly.

Declaration in start routine in transformations

Hi guru's
What is the difference between first and second global declaration in the start routine of a transformation?
First: $$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line -
Second: $$ begin of 2nd part global - insert your code only below this line *
Kind regards
Erik

Hi Shambhu
We usually write out code in the section:
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line -
What is the difference between writing the code in
$$ begin of 2nd part global - insert your code only below this line *
and
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line - ?
Kind regards

Error while transporting Transformation: Syntax error in Start Routine

Hi Everyone,
I'm facing a strange problem during transporting one of the Business Content cubes from Dev. to Quality.
I'd activated the DSO 'Purchase Order Items (0PUR_O01)' and its entire data flow from the 4 datasources 2LIS_02_CGR, 2LIS_02_SCN, 2LIS_02_SGR, and 2LIS_02_ITM from BC. Then I migrated the Transfer/Update rules to transformations and the DataSources to BI7 DataSource. So far so good. The migration was successful and all the objects were activated.
Now when I transport the same to Quality, the import fails with return code 8 and the error message says:
'Start of the after-import method RS_TRFN_AFTER_IMPORT for object type(s) TRFN (Activation Mode)'
'Start Routine: Syntax error in routine'
I verified that the transformation where the error orrured was the one from InfoSource Z2LIS_02_ITM to DSO 0PUR_O01. I went and checked the start routine and it did indeed have a syntax error:
'In PERFORM or CALL FUNCTION "ROUTINE_9998", the actual parameter SOURCE_PACKAGE" is incompatible with the formal parameter DATA_PACKAGE". '
But when I check in the Dev. system, there is no syntax error for the same routine. Later, I tried to transport only the said transformation by re-activating it in Dev, and again I got the same error.
I have no idea why I'm getting a syntax error in the start routine when there are non in the Dev. system. Also none of the coding is customised, it was only the BC code, migrated to a transformation.
Any suggestions on the steps I could take to transport the transformation to my quality system?
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Ajay, Shanthi, svu and Ray
I do indeed have a start routine in my transformation and it was migrated from a 3.x update rule to a BI 7 transformation routine.
The migration was successful and the Start Routine has NO syntax errors in the start routine in the Dev. system. I only encounter the error while transporting it to the Quality system. I cannot modify the code in the Quality system because it is non-changelable and there is no point in trying to change the code in Dev. because there are no errors over there.
I've also made sure that I've transported all the necessary objects required by the transformations to quality. The routine does not perform a lookup, it simply deletes some records from the data package based on the processkey value (which is itself present in the data package).

Execute ABAP code in Start Routine only once

I have ABAP code in a start routine that I only want to execute once. Is there a way to tell this is first execution of the start routine?
Also can I find out these value in the start routine ABAP:
1. How many data packets there are?
2. What data packet I am processing?
Regards,
Mike...

Hi,
I've just setup a little test:
TRules, Start Routine Global Decl:
DATA: GVI TYPE I, GVN(5) TYPE N.
Start Routine:
IF GVI IS INITIAL.
GVI = 1.
ELSE.
ADD 1 TO GVI.
ENDIF.
MOVE GVI TO GVN.
This is basically counting the times the start routine is executed and populating the var GVN; I am posting GVN in a char ZTESTGV in the target cube. I am posting as well the datapakID in my cube.
I have loaded two requests (each 4 packets)
the first one first to PSA and then from the PSA to the target: this is Serially using one single process. Here's the result in the cube:
Request________________________________DATAPAKID_____ZTESTGV
REQU_8B5ASGQNYYNIV1OJN68HFH1SR____________1____________1
REQU_8B5ASGQNYYNIV1OJN68HFH1SR____________2____________2
REQU_8B5ASGQNYYNIV1OJN68HFH1SR____________3____________3
REQU_8B5ASGQNYYNIV1OJN68HFH1SR____________4____________4
In this case the global variable is persistent accross packets.
the second request is loaded in paralell: this is, multiple processes are executed at the time. Here's the result in the cube:
Request________________________________DATAPAKID_____ZTESTGV
REQU_14QVH21BSVH44FAJW94BD7N2H____________1____________1
REQU_14QVH21BSVH44FAJW94BD7N2H____________2____________1
REQU_14QVH21BSVH44FAJW94BD7N2H____________3____________1
REQU_14QVH21BSVH44FAJW94BD7N2H____________4____________1
In this case the global variable is always1 !!
This is logic since several a process cannot access the internal memory used by another one...
Conclusion; the global variable will work only if the load is serial...
hope this helps...

Start routine error - infosource 2LIS_13_VDITM

Hello,
During the activation of the standard InfoCube 0SD_C03 (Sales: Overview), I have encountered a problem in a transformation between the infosource 2LIS_13_VDITM and the afrementioned Cube (this transformation has been transferred during the activation of Business Content).
The transformation is inactive after the installation (other dataflow structures, for other datasources attached to this Cube have been automatically activated). When I try to active it, an error message appers, informing that:
a) Initial update has been set for some of the key rules (e.g. for target field 0VERSION) - but that is a minor obstacle; the bigger problem is that
b) there is a syntax error in the start routine for this transformation
Checking that start routine results with the following error:
E:In PERFORM or CALL FUNCTION "ROUTINE_9998", the actual parameter
"SOURCE_PACKAGE" is incompatible with the formal parameter
"DATA_PACKAGE".
Since I'm not an ABAPer, that info is a bit vague to me.
I have tried to find an answer in the forums but with no success. So if anyone could provide a solution this problem or point me to a thread where it has been answered, I would be very grateful.
I can provide more details should those be needed.
Best Regards,
Alek

Thanks for the info Umesh,
Just to be sure - I should simply change "SOURCE_PACKAGE" to "DATA_PACKAGE" in the code of the start routine? "Source_Package" is present in two places in that code:
METHODS
      start_routine
        IMPORTING
          request                  type rsrequest
          datapackid               type rsdatapid
        EXPORTING
          monitor                  type rstr_ty_t_monitors
        CHANGING
          SOURCE_PACKAGE              type tyt_SC_1
        RAISING
          cx_rsrout_abort.
and then after that in:
Migrated update rule call
Perform routine_9998
TABLES
    SOURCE_PACKAGE
CHANGING
    l_abort.
Or should I revert to the 3.5 version? (as a side note, that Data Source (2LIS_13_VDITM) has been activated in 7.0 version by default, when I replicated data sources in BW).
Praveen, as to your remarks, I have the datasource 2LIS_13_VDITM (in version 7.0) active, along with the appropriate Infosource. Transformation between the DataSource and InfoSource is active, and only the transformation between the InforSource and the Cube poses problems.

Alek

Question for inverse routine in the transformation for a virtual infocube

Hello,
I have a virtual infocube with it transformation and i want to know if there is a way to know in the inverse routine or in the start routine if in the query the user is selecting a filter value.
When the user want to select one value for a characteristic the transformation is executed in order to obtain the infoprovider values. In this moment the inverse routine is executed and i want to know if there is a way to identify when the user is making a drilldown or a filter.
In the start routine of the transformation i have an abap code with a very expensive time of execution to obtain some key figures values but i dont want that this abap code will be executed when the system executed the transformation to obtain the values for one characteristic in order to make a filter.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards.
Ignacio

Hi Ashish,
Your document is very useful, in fact I used it to write my abap code, now Iu2019m getting the values of the query selection conditions, but what I need is after the report is showed in the first time.
When data in report is showed, user has the possibility to filter values for one characteristic. If the characteristic has the option for filter value selection during query execution equal to u201COnly Values in infoprovideru201D , the inverse routine is executed to obtain the values that are contained in the infoprovider and then the system show all the possible values. What I need is to identify this event, because in this case I donu2019t want to make some calculations in the transformation that are very expensive in time.
Thanks a lot for your information.
Best regards
Ignacio

Help needed on start routines in update rules

Hi All,
I want to extract data from two data sources(For ex 2LIS_02_HDR, 2LIS_02_ITM).
I am using 2 first layer ODS' and one second layer ODS for consolidation.I want to write a start routine in the update rules so that the data of the MATNR(Material Number) field from 2LIS_02_ITM will be populated in the second layer ODS when the keys (EBELN) of the datasources are equal in the first layer ODS'.
Can anyone send me the code for this requirement?
Thanks in Advance,
Sanjana.

i am assuming u have a direct transformation with 2lis_02_hdr
and u want to look up on the DSO of 2lis_02_ITM to get the material.
MATNR = 0material
EBELN = 0docnum.
put this code in the start routine of the transformation of 2lis_02_HDR.
TYPES: BEGIN OF s_itm,
 material TYPE /bi0/oimaterial,
 docnum TYPE /bi0/oidocnum,
 END OF s_itm.
 DATA: wa_itm TYPE s_itm,
 t_itm TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF s_itm.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
 SELECT material
 docnum
 FROM /bic/aDSO_itm
 APPENDING TABLE t_itm
 WHERE docnum = <comm_structure>-docnum.
endloop.
IF NOT t_itm[] IS INITIAL.
 SORT t_itm ASCENDING BY docnum.
 DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM t_itm COMPARING docnum.
 ENDIF.
Now write this below code in the update routine of 0material in the transformation from 2lis_2_HDR.
CLEAR RESULT.
READ TABLE T_itm INTO WA_Itm WITH KEY
 DOCNUM = comm_structure-docnum.
BINARY SEARCH.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
RESULT = WA_itm-material.
ENDIF.

Raising cx_rsrout_abort exception in Start Routine of Transformations

Hello Abap OO Gurus:
This is likely a very simple question but I'm brand new to Abap OO and despite reading and searching, I cannot convert some old abap code used in the start routine of business content in BW to be used in the Transformation start routine in SAP BI.
My Start Routine inside a BI 7.0 transformation rule has a method declared like this:
METHODS
start_routine
IMPORTING
request type rsrequest
datapackid type rsdatapid
EXPORTING
monitor type rstr_ty_t_monitors
CHANGING
SOURCE_PACKAGE type tyt_SC_1
RAISING
cx_rsrout_abort.
The Exception "cx_rsrout_abort" has replaced what used to be a simple ABORT data field. The old code I want to replace was just "abort = 1'.
But now it seems like I have to use TRY... ENDTRY statement to raise Exception "cx_rsrout_abort". I am inside the abap code of the Method "start routine"
METHOD start_routine.
*=== Segments ===
Could some kind soul educate me as to how to raise the Exception "cx_rsrout_abort" inside the Method start routine?
thanks in advance, David

Tx HDev:
we are almost there... I have that PDF but never got thru to the rest of the Appendix B as my project is just too crazy...
When try what Appenix B suggest..
"raise exception type CX_RSROUT_SKIP_RECORD."
I get the following Warning msg which makes sense...
"W:The exception CX_RSROUT_SKIP_RECORD is neither caught nor is it
declared in the RAISING clause of "START_ROUTINE".
The METHOD statement in the start routine never declares another exception other than cx_rsrout_abort as seen below:
 METHODS
 start_routine
 IMPORTING
 request type rsrequest
 datapackid type rsdatapid
 EXPORTING
 monitor type rstr_ty_t_monitors
 CHANGING
 SOURCE_PACKAGE type tyt_SC_1
 RAISING
 cx_rsrout_abort.
Maybe NW2004s has a bug here... I'm hoping that a SAP Developer reads this posting and can enlighten us all... otherwise I'll have to post a OSS msg
So the mystery is still how to do
"raise exception type CX_RSROUT_ABORT" and make this equal to ABORT = 1
which makes the start routine skip a record
tx again, David

Start routine in DSO Self transformations

Hi SCN,
I need to write start routine to fill one of my target feild.
Here my info object is ZCust and attribute zpur_grp
My DSO have 0customer and zpur_grp.
Am creating self transformations for my dso and need to fill zpur_grp from zcust if dso-zpur_grp is blank.
condition is dso-0customer = info object-customer.
Am new to abap code part and confused about specifying fields and tables(/bic/).
Need suggestions to write sample format code.
Thanks in advance.
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
U need to write look-up code.
Below s sample code. it might be help you.
Declare Internal Table Like follow:

 ZCust TYPE /BIC/ ZCust ,
 zpur_grp TYPE /BIC/ zpur_grp
 END OF TY_CUST.
select value for internal table.
SELECT /BIC/ ZCust /BIC/zpur_grp
 FROM /BIC/PZCust
 INTO TABLE IT_CUST
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE
 WHERE /BIC/ZCust = SOURCE_PACKAGE-/BIC/0customer
 AND OBJVERS = 'A'.
Then write Lookup code in start routine.
LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <SOURCE_FIELDS>.
 clear : WA_CUST_DBDIV.
* Read internal table for customer
 READ TABLE IT_CUST
 WITH KEY ZCust = <SOURCE_FIELDS>-/BIC/0custome
 INTO WA_CUST_DBDIV
 BINARY SEARCH.
*Populate the corresponding Customer and DB Division in RESULT_PACKAGE
 IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
 <SOURCE_FIELDS>-/BIC/0custome = WA_CUST_DBDIV-ZCust.
 <SOURCE_FIELDS>-/BIC/zpur_grp = WA_CUST_DBDIV-zpur_grp.
ENDLOOP.
Hope it 'll help you.
