Time-dep MD

Hi guys,
when i create time-dep MD (manually) for account no
i keep gettin duplicate records based on validity periods
eg i give validity from 2004 to 2007 i get one more record from
2008 to 9999 (ofcourse without any attribute value),
How to get rid of them , if i delete one the whole record
disappears,
Thanks guys,
your help will be well appreciated

hi,
try to give the validity 2004 to 9999,
or maintain the attribute for 2008-9999
hope this helps.

BI 7.0 : Error in loading text of a Master Data with a data source time dep

I have a problem loading text from the data source(time dep) to the Master Data.
For instance if the Data Source 0EVALGROUP1_TEXT is time dependent as there are the fields DATETO and DATEFROM, while i create the transformation these 2 fileds does not have any target fields. After i create the infopackage and execute it to load into the PSA, i have a error message : the message says "An error occurred in the source system."and "The error occurred in Extractor "; and the PSA is empty.
Can anyone tell me if there is an OSS note to apply for this kind of problem, actually we are running under SAPKW70015 SAP_BW.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Pl try the below
The l_dta data target that you want to load is an InfoObject (master data or text
table).
You must declare this for the InfoProvider in Transaction RSD1.
You do this on the 'Master Data/Text' tab by assigning any InfoArea to the InfoObject.
The InfoProvider (that is, this InfoObject) is then displayed below this InfoArea in
the InfoProvider tree.

Problem with Time-dep hierarchy in BEx Query

Hi,
I have a workbook that consists of 3 queries. All the 3 queries uses heriarchy and hierarchy node variables on 0CUST_SALES. The hierarchy is time-dep. 2 of the queries returns the output and 1 of them just displays "No applicable data found" for some of the nodes. I checked the hierarchy table and the date range for the nodes are in the range (01/01/2010 - 12/31/9999), the leafs have the range as 01/01/2010 - 06/30/2010. The 3rd query is the actually the summary of the other 2 queries. I checked the queries and found that the field 0CUST_SALES is on the characteristic restriction pane of the filter tab in the incorrect query and in the remainiing 2 its on the default values pane.
Will this be causing the problem in the incorrect query?
There is also a key date derivation type defined in all the queries. Its defined as Basic Time Char with the derivation type as "First day of Period". We are not using any infosets. The quries are on a multiprovider which has only basic infocubes.
Can someone please explain how this works?
Thanks and Regards,
Sujai

Hi Diogo,
Below is the code I am using in the customer exit.
SELECT * FROM zae_tt_pbuild INTO TABLE gt_pbuild.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        LOOP AT gt_pbuild INTO gs_pbuild.
          CONCATENATE '*' gs_pbuild-pbuild '*' into lv_pattern.
          ls_range-low = lv_pattern.
          ls_range-sign = lc_sign_i.
          ls_range-opt = 'CP'.
          APPEND ls_range TO e_t_range.
          CLEAR: ls_range,
                 lv_pattern.
        ENDLOOP.
      ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
I have tried using '%' instead of '*' aswell but the result is same.
Thanks,

Hierarchy entire time dep

i know how to create a hierarchy in the flat file.also i know the time dept hierarchy. how to create a entire time dep hierarchy . give me some flat file with scenario.

answers to your questions:
Answer 1) If Hier istime dependant, then it is compulsory to have the dateto and date-frm fields in FF as those two fields decide from which time to which time, which data should be used.
Answer 2) all the changes, it is always suggested to do first in Dev, test the same and once all OK, then transport in Prod.
Is the FF is on application server?

Time dep master data reorganization / process seems to do nothing

Hi,
Info:
I created a process chain just to reorganize time dep master data for 1 InfoObject (0UCINSTALLA). In this process variant I choose only to process time dep attributes - not text or time independent tables.
The InfoObject is flagged for change run (have som entries in M version)
The InfoObject with the properties:
/BI0/QUCINSTALLA = 9 393 539 rec (4 162 in M version) (same goes for Y-table). Those tables have just a few (3-4) fields.
The InfoObject 0UCINSTALLA exists in a few aggregates, but none of the time dep attributes does.
The system have these components:
SAP_ABA     700     0013
SAP_BASIS     700     0013
PI_BASIS     2005_1_700     0013
ST-PI     2005_1_700     0005
SAP_BW     700     0015
BI_CONT     703     0005
Running on Linux / Oracle 10.2.0.2.0
Problem:
The background job is started via process chain but checking the
process it seems to do nothing. I ran it for 3 days over the weekend, it doesn't time out or give any ABAP dumps or entries in SM21.
Checking the statement for the process in ST04 gives me:
SELECT

"/BI0/QUCINSTALLA" T_00
WHERE
EXISTS ( SELECT T_100 . "UCINSTALLA" FROM "/BI0/QUCINSTALLA" T_100

Anybody have any idea what the problem could be - I have no idea how long a reorganization for the amount of records should take. But the process seems to do nothing.

A little update:
I could see that the background process (which seemed to do nothing) ran a oracle process and on the DB server instance this was no.1 in top cpu. So - something is happening. The DB only has 2 cpus. Is there any way to run this job with more then 1 process?

Ok been asked a thousand times DEP XP pro

DEP on XP Pro
has lock iTunes, done re-install turned on/of and on again in DEP, tried numorus times inc.. re-boots.
its almost like DEP HAS LOCKED and wont except new settings. happend after update 10.4 can only update my iPhone4 via WiFi, havent been able to chage my music for over 6 months!!
virus checked nothing found
i have no partion drive so no reinstall of windows is possable [ have no copy of original disc ]
as usual microsoft wont answer emails etc.. or help out
any other pointers or clues
thanks in advance

Excellent news.
wonder why itunes didnt install in the first place? it used to
The interesting thing about that is that since iTunes for Windows 10.5.x, you aren't supposed to need QuickTime for Windows componentry to be installed in order for iTunes for Windows to launch. So it's not likely that the DEP errors are being caused purely by the lack of QuickTime componentry on the PCs in question (or by the lack of new-enough versions of QuickTime componentry on the PCs in question).
One putative mechanism for what's going on.
I've noticed (in the course of other experimentation) that if the QuickTime Player is uninstalled on an XP system and iTunes for Windows (some version post 10.5.x) is launching, I can get a message saying that certain kinds of content can't be played because QuickTime isn't installed.
So there's a task performed by iTfW when launched to check on the presence of certain types of QTfW componentry. If the answer is "that componentry is not present", a routine is run that shows the dialog saying that certain content can't be played.
It's plausible that Data Execution Prevention is interpreting the routine that produces the dialog as being a malicious act on some systems, and throwing the DEP error when the routine is run.
That would explain why updating (or possibly installing) the latest version of the QuickTime Player is getting people past the DEP errors. The check for QTfW componentry is run when itunes launches, but it determines that the componentry is present. So the routine that produces the dialog isn't run, and Data Execution Prevention doesn't feel compelled to throw the DEP error.

Key Date variable; Interval in query properties for Time Dep. Masterdata

Hi,
I've been searching on the forum, and I think I know the answer already, but still I'd like
to ask you all whether it's possible to create a Key Date Interval variable to be used in the query properties.
As far as I can see you can only report by a single key date used in the query properties field for time dependant masterdata, but my customer has asked me to investigate the possibility to enter a date range.
As all masterdata is time dependant I don't see how this would work, but if someone can shine a light on this maybe there is a solution available?
Thanks for your help.
M.

Hi marc
I understand your problem.
I had an idea for a workaround.
If you can create master data compounded with Valid from and Valid to both of these characteristics , how the query is computing
the keyfigures.
Every change in valid from or valid to is unique for the system in this case.
Thanks

Suppres the validity period in a time dep hierarchy with a temporal join

Dear all,
With our customer we have an reporting presentation issue that we cannot solve. Can you please help us with a solution?
It is a hierachy display problem in a report.
We present a time dependent hierarchy structure with a temporal join. This is to have the postings in the correct periods of the hierarchy. A characteristic of this hierarchy is the validity period. This validity period is default displayed in the report. This cannot be suppressed in the query designer. Is there a way to suppress this? This is a wish form the customer.
Can you please help us with a sloution?
Thanks in advance.

Generated authorizations on 0ORGUNIT - Time-dep.hier.struct&Temp.hier. join

Hello gurus,
We use generated hierarchy authorization for 0ORGUNIT with Time dependent heirarchy structure & Temporal hierarchy join.
Authorization objects (RSR_*) seems to generate well, however they don't work - query ends with EYE 007 message.
If I make a copy of generated authorization object and split it into two objects - one with very the same 0ORGUNIT limitation and the rest of original auth. object, it suddenly works!
So I don't know what's wrong whether the generation of authorization or evaluation process.
We use EHP1 with 05 support package.

Time dep. conditons

how to allow the use of time dependent conditions for a particular document type ????
like in case of contract the conditions stored are time depndent but in case of purchase orde it is not .....so my question is what settings i need to do so as to achive this for a document type

Hi baxter_jas
As PO and other documents can have only time indepenent conditions, you cannot control them via Config
However for RFQ you can go via the path suggested by SAS and further in Document Types Scheduling Agreement change screen go to a particular document type say LP and go to Time-D.C. and select or deselect the the same.
follow the same for Quotations.
Hope this helps !

Question: to have different 2 key dates to show time-dep master data.

Hello All -
I would kindly like to ask your suggestion in this challenges.
In our Finance report e.g AR Report, we have 2 Year to dates of Key Figures. 1) Current Year to date, and 2) previous Year to dates. We want to have the report shows time-dependent master data navigation attribute based on this 2 year to dates.
I am thinking to have 2 Key Date selection parameter in the report e.g. 1) Current key-date, and 2) Previous Key-date
The report above will show COLOR as per key date. If the posting is 'Previous YTD', the COLOR will show based on 'Previous Key Date', and if the posting for 'Current YTD', the COLOR will show based on 'Current Key-Date'.
The question are:
1) What to do for customization if we want to have 2 key dates in Query or Report? If you have experience it before, could you please share?
2) If you think that there is other way, feel free to share it.
Many Thanks, and really appreciate your suggestion & advice,
Cheers,

Hello Cornelia -
Thanks for your advice:
1) Use Info Set to temporal join between master data, and transaction.
Comment:
We are using multicube for reporting. Are you saying that we should put infoset into MultiCube?
2) Modelling the time-dependent master data as a info object in transaction (Cube).
Comment:
Thanks for this, i will analyse if we go to this option.
Btw, I am also thinking to use Virtual Characteristic, but the performance will be expensive, like using Info Set.
Feel free for your comment,
Is there any other backend door that we can use e.g. to use BADI Exit.
Appreciate your feedback,
Thanks,

Attributes of Time Dep. Master data getting overwritten

Hi,
I've one Time dependent master data 0PERSON, which gets data from Flat file and R3.
We first load from flat file and then from R3.
Now consider this:
Say for Person ID '123', flat file has "address" attribute as ABC. I load it and it gets loaded successfully.
But after R3 load for same Person ID i.e. '123', "address" attribute gets overwritten with R3 values e.g XYZ. Even though the time fields are non-overlapping.
I.e. I've now two records in 0PERSON for different time periods (as expected), but with same "address" values. I could not understand why R3 data is overwriting flat file data?
Could anyone help me in this.
Regards,
Vikrant.

Hi Eugene, Dinesh,
I think we missed one point here, attributes themselves can be time-dependent or time-independent.. even though the master data characteristic itself can be time-dependent.
What this means, is that for same Person ID.. time-dependent attributes will have different values (i.e. in our case by Flat file or R3).. but time-independent attributes will get overwritten by the last load.. whether R3 or Flat file.
And this is what happening in my case.. my last load is from R3, which is overwriting Flat file data.. and too only for time-independent attributes !!
Correct me if my analysis is wrong.
Thanks for spending time on this,.
Regards,
Vikrant.

Activate time-dep. master data (0EMPLOYEE)

Dear experts!
I have loaded a lot of master data and after some fruitless change runs technically the data seemed to activated.One of the major challenges here is, that we are talking about a lot rekords (8 million) However the Q- and Y-table look like this:
EMPLOYEE OBJVERS DATETO DATEFROM CHANGED
14005099             A       2003.11.30 1000.01.01
14005099             A       2003.12.31 2003.12.01
14005099             M       2004.01.31 2004.01.01 I
14005099             M       2004.02.29 2004.02.01 I
14005099             M       2004.03.31 2004.03.01 I
14005099             M       2004.04.30 2004.04.01 I
14005099             M       9999.12.31 2004.05.01 I
Thus, actually data is still not active in BI, until the M/I -records have been converted into A/(blank) ones (regarding objvers/changed). Anyway, the DWH workbench (RSATTR) says, the iobj is still active....
How can I finally activate the iobj (here we still have BW 3.1)?
Thanks
Frank

Alright folks,
thanks for all tips. Finally I found no other option than to activate the Q- and Y-table my own way. Everything works fine.

Time-dependent master data in the cube and query

Hello,
I have a time-dep. masterdata infoobject with two time-dep attributes (one of them is KF). If i add this infoobject into the cube, what time period SID will be considered during the load? I assume it only matters during load, if i add the KF to the query it gets its value based on the SID in the cube.. right?
Thanks,
vamsi.

If its Time Dependent Master Data object when you run your Master Data if that time any changes to the Master Data that value will be overwrite to the old value you will get the new value. When you run the Query execution the Infocube Master Data infoobject will having the SID that time it will to there it will be displayed at that moved what is the value you have in the Master Data table.
This is what my experience.
Thanks,
