Transfer Rules and Update Rules

Hello,
What is the exact difference between Transfer Rules and Update Rules ????
NImisha

Hi Nimesh,
   Transfer rules are the combination of communication structure and transfer structure here you are sassing the fields between transfer structure to communication structure..
   Updater rules are crating between data marts and info source, here you are creating the update rules based on communication structure.
   For more information go through the following link...

How to locate inactive transfer reules and update rules

Hi SAP Gurus,
could some one tell me how to locate all the INACTIVE transfer reules and update rules in our system? i DONT want to so the mass activation of transfer/update rules. I just want to locate all the inactivate transfer/upfate rules.
ur help will be appriciated in terms of points..
manmit

Hi,
Inactive UR can be seen by RSA1->Infoprovider->Settigns(menu bar)->Select Display Options->only display restrictions->All inactive objects...
It will show inactive infoproviders along with inactive update rules.
Similarly inactive infosorce/TR can be seen by RSA1->Infosource->Settigns(menu bar)->Select Display Options->only display restrictions->All inactive objects...
Hope it helps.

0SD_C03 transfer rule and update rules do not exist in BI Content

I am working on SAP BI 7.0 support level 16 and BI Content 703 support level 9.
I am not finding these objects in BI Content for the Sales Overview Infocube 0SD_C03:
Update Rules do not exist for 2LIS_11_VAKON,
2LIS_11_VASCL, 2LIS_11_VASTH, 2LIS_11_VASTI, 2LIS_11_V_SCL,
2LIS_11_V_SSL, 2LIS_12_VCSCL, 2LIS_13_VDKON.
Transfer rule does not exist for
2LIS_13_VDITM, but exists for all other DS.
7 Transformations exist only for:
2LIS_13_VDITM
Can somone help me out with why this is so? Which datasources are to be used for 0SD_C03, 3.x or 7?
This is an urgent requirement.
Regards,
Sony

Most of the problem has gotten solved by our upgrading to BI Content level 17.
The others, i made a direct mapping of some of the transfer rules manually.
It is working fine now.
Thanks for the replies.

Transfer and Update Rules in BW

Hi All,

Please search the forum as this has been dicussed in details many times. Thanks!

What is the Relationship between Update Rule and Infopackage/Transfer Rules

Hello Experts,
can you help explain these scenarios to me:
What is the relationship between update rules and infopackges?
What is the relationship between transfer rules and infopackges?
What is the relationship between update rules and transfer rules?

Hello,
Info-packages trigger the data load into BW system from the source system. An info-package is created for a specific data source and info source combination.
1) When you trigger the info-package it sends an request to the source system to start the extraction process and this corresponds to the step "Data Request Received" in monitor under details tab. It is the first step.
2) Then the selections specified in the info-package are transferred to the source system to select the requested data from BW system. Then it is sent back to BW system.
3) Once it reach BW, it gets into the PSA and then it gets updated into the data target (depends on what settings are made in IP). No rules (Transfer rules / update rules) comes into picture when data is stored in PSA. Only the transfer structure is used to map the BW info-objects with the source system fields.
4) After data is stored into PSA, the update into the data targets begins. First the transfer rules are applied -> data then flows through the communication structure -> update rules are applied and finally the records gets updated into the data target.
The extraction flow is: -
Source System (DS) -> PSA -> Transfer Rules -> Communication Structure -> Update Rules -> Data target.
Info-package actually triggers the whole data flow in BW system.
Hope it gives you a clear picture.
Thx,
Soumya

How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.

We are on BW 3.5 and I'm loading data into the 0FIGL_O10 ODS and then uploading the data into the cube 0FIGL_C10. The data loads just fine to the ODS but when I try to 'update the data target' I get a date & time stamp' error on the info-package transfer rules.
I then Replicate the datasource 80FIGL_O01.
I must then 'activate' the transfer rules.
However I cannot get the transfer rules for 80FIGL_O10 in CHANGE MODE to activate them.
How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.
The error text is as follows:
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 has to be replicated (time stamp, see long text)
Message no. R3016
Diagnosis
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 does not have the same status as the source system in the Business Information Warehouse.
The time stamp in the source system is 02/15/2007 10:42:33.
The time stamp in the BW system is 11/07/2006 13:11:54.
System response
The load process has been terminated.
Procedure
Copy the DataSource again and then activate the transfer rules that belong to it. You have to activate the transfer rules in every case, even if they are still active after the DataSource has been copied.
Thanks for your assistance.

Unable to collect Update/Transfer rules Info & Data sources from BI content

Hi,
We are tyring to activate Infoprovider 0PY_CO2 from BI content by selecting the option - In data before. BI is unable to collect all corresponding objects such as Update rules, Info source, transfer rules and the data source for the selected Infoprovider. Only Info area and associated info objects are being collected for the installation.
We are experiencing same problem whilst acitvating most of the info providers. However, in some cases, either of these objects get activated but not all the necessary objects that feed data to the Infoprovider (cube or multi provider).
Also, Infopackages and Info object catalogs are not being collected for any objects activated/installed so fare from the BI content.
We are trying to activate BW 3.5 content on the BI 7.0 environment. BI Content release is 703 and support pack level is 008.
Kindly share any pointers to troubleshoot this probelm please.
Thanks
Venkat

Shiv,
For some Info providers, all associated info objects(including transfer & update rules and info source and data sources) are getting collected and got successfuly installed. But this is true for only 10% of the Info providers that we have installed so far.
Remaining all the objects, we are unable to proceed further.
Thanks
Venkat.

How to write ABAP Routeines in Update/Transfer Rules ?

Hi Experts,
Iam new to BW and i don't have ABAP knowledge.Can any body help me ..to write ABAP Routeines in Update rules/Transfer rules.Give me some basic knowledge with proper example.and what type of routeines we need to write ?
I will appreciate if some one helps me with proper Documentation.My mail id is [email protected]
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks in advance,
Nayanasri.

Hi Nayanasri,
It is not mendatory that u need to write Update routines for all update rules. It depends on the requirement. Without update routine u can always manage. My last implementation was for a small chemical firm where i did not use any of the update routine. Suppose if u want to change the records in datapackage depending on certain conditions, then u can go for this. I'm just pasting one of my update routine program
PROGRAM UPDATE_ROUTINE.
$$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line -
TABLES: ...
DATA: ...
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line -
The follow definition is new in the BW3.x
TYPES:
BEGIN OF DATA_PACKAGE_STRUCTURE.
 INCLUDE STRUCTURE /BIC/CS8YGTGDCL6B.
TYPES:
 RECNO LIKE sy-tabix,
END OF DATA_PACKAGE_STRUCTURE.
DATA:
DATA_PACKAGE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DATA_PACKAGE_STRUCTURE
 WITH HEADER LINE
 WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 0.
FORM startup
TABLES MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR "user defined monitoring
 MONITOR_RECNO STRUCTURE RSMONITORS " monitoring with record n
 DATA_PACKAGE STRUCTURE DATA_PACKAGE
USING RECORD_ALL LIKE SY-TABIX
 SOURCE_SYSTEM LIKE RSUPDSIMULH-LOGSYS
CHANGING ABORT LIKE SY-SUBRC. "set ABORT <> 0 to cancel update
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line -
fill the internal tables "MONITOR" and/or "MONITOR_RECNO",
to make monitor entries
DELETE DATA_PACKAGE WHERE /bic/yverbr NE 'V2'.
DELETE DATA_PACKAGE WHERE /bic/ydpbasfs = 0 AND /bic/yoplqty = 0.
ENDFORM.
Where the delete statement deletes the records when the field /bic/yverbr noe equals to 'V2' or deletes it when /bic/ydpbasfs equals zero.
If the explanation is not suffecient, pls post further

Find break-points source code (update rules, transfer rules)

Hi all,
Is there any effective and efficient way to find (active) break-points in source code, more specfic update rules, transfer rules or other objects where custom code is implemented? Or in other words look for strings in source code or programs.
I looked and searched everywhere but could not find any answer.
RSRSCAN1 (does not work)
RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN (does not exist)
We are on SAP BW 3.5 with SAP Basis 640.
Thanks all.

Hi,
Try this
1) if you're checking any program from SE38 ..goto Utilities -> find in the source code-> give breakpoint and search.
2) else. load data , Goto details tab in the monitor and right click on any of the data packages.
Simulate update -> choose transfer rules or update rules for debuging.-> It will take you debuging screen. -> Create a watch point with key word "break-point" and execute (F8).
It will go and stop where there is "break-point"

ABAP Guidelines for transfer rules & Update rules

Is there any guidelines for abap when using it for transfer rules and update rules? I am looking for some best practise in this area.
Thank you,

There is no specific differences in the standards/coding procedure for Transfer Vs. Update Rulse.
This can only come from a combination of requirement, design and experience! (in no particular order)
for e.g.
If the converions are the same for all data targets, you would use the transfer routine, start routine in the Transfer rules.
If the converions are different for different data targets, you would use the update routine, start routine in the Update rules.
Key concerns being performance, modularization, reduced effort and ease of maintenance.
Not sure I have answered you question! Please get back if there is something specific you are interesed in (a scenario perhaps!)

?Difference: To create 2 Transfer Rules or 2 Update Rules

Hi,
I need to load 2 similar flat files to a single ODS. Only change is that, during the load, in the first file, File1, I want to set a field, FileType, as File1; and during the load of the second file, File2, I want to set FileType, as File2.
One update rule which loads File1, already exists. I wanted to create the second update rule(for File2), but I encountered problems because I kept receiving a message that the update rule already exists for the ODS.
I went to the InfoSource tree and under the infoSource for File1, I could see the transfer rule; at this point, I was able to create a second transfer rule where I was able to set the second constant while loading File2, as FileType as File2.
What is the effect of creating 2 transfer rules for the InfoSource, as against creating 2 update rules for the ODS, which was I originally wanted to do?
Thanks

Hi Amanda,
    If both file formats are same, it better to populate File1 or File2 dynamically then a constant. Every time not supposed to create new transfer rules and data soruce for new flat file.
    Instead of constant, write a routine for File Type. Based on file name sinply pass File1 or File2 in routine. Or
    Use function module "BAPI_IPAK_GETDETAIL" to get infopackage details including file name. from flat file name also File type can be derived.
    In this way no need to maintain multiple transfer rules or update rules. Existing flow is enough.
Hope it Helps

Diff between the Start routine and Update rules?

Hi Gurus
Diff between the Start routine and Update rules?
Thanks in advance
Raj

Hi,
Routines are like conditions or business rules that could be applied to filter the data while entering the BW system or could be used to apply certain conditions on the info objects itself.Update rule level you manipulate your data and write your start routine.
There are 4 types of routines
1. Start routine- Could be used at two levels (transfer rule level and the Update rule level)
This Start routine written at the transfer rule level helps filter the necessary data coming from the source system.
For Example: If you decide to extract data that contain only quantity greater than 500 , then you could specify the Start rouitne to achieve this.
The Start routine at the Update rule level provides similar functionality but at this point it helps direct specific data to
different data targets. For Example: If there 3 data targets being fed from the Infosource, you may want to apply some condition to each data target, like send year 2000 data ti Data target1, 2001 to data target 2 and so on. This can be achieved by using Start routine at the Update rule level
2. Transfer Routine: This feature is available at the transfer rule levels
While performing the transfer rules operation, there are 4 features available to the developers to create business rules on top pf the Infoobjects.
1. You could do a one to one mappping of the Infoobject
2. Provide a constant value
3. Include a formula
4. Write an ABAP routine.
These 4 options refers to the transfer routine
3. Update Routine:
The limitations of just having 4 options in the transfer routine is overcome at the update rule level. There are various other
sophisticated features avaialable apart from the 4 options mentioned above. These business rules could be specified pertaining to each data target.
4. Conversion Routine: It provides functionality to do Currency and unit conversion.
Regards.

Start routine and update rules

Hi,
What is accessed first:-
Start Routines or Update Rules?
What is the use of global variables in start routine?
Please reply.
Thanks.

Hi......
You have different types of Routines in BW .
1) Start Routine in Transfer Rules
2) Transfer Routine in Transfer Rules.
3)Start Routine in Update Rules
4)Update Routine in Update Rules.
The routines that you write in transfer rules are applicable to all the Data targets that get the data from that particular Infosource, when you are going to write some code in Transfer rules, you have to understand that you are going to manupilate the data that is going to get into BW .
If you are going to write in Update Rules , then that logic is going to apply only for that particular Data target .
Eg : Let suppose I have a Flat file that gets data from 3 countries, US, Canada and Mexico.
Now I have prepared the data source for the same . But I dont want to have the data of Mexico in to BW itself.
So I will write a Start routine at TR to eliminate the data of Mexico.
My Next step is I want the data of US into one ODS and Canada data in to another ODS.
For this I handle the dataflow at Start routine in Update rules, to eliminate Canada data for US ODS and Vice Versa.
Global variables in Start routine
You can have global variables, internal tables populated by the
startup routine. This data will be available to the field
routines. Create yourself a start routine, declare some
variables in the global section, and then create a field
routine. You will be able to use the globally declared objects
in the field routine

Not getting transfer rules for 2LIS_02_HDR , 2LIS_02_ITM and 2LIS_02_SCL

Hello Bi experts,
Actually i am implementing standard Purchasing module in BI system.
While implementing , i have installed cube 0PUR_C04 with data flow before options.
After installation , i am not getting transfer rule for 2LIS_02_HDR , 2LIS_02_ITM and 2LIS_02_SCL .
I am getting transfer rule for 2LIS_02_S011 only.
0PUR_c04 contains these 4 dataspurces - 2LIS_02_HDR , 2LIS_02_ITM and 2LIS_02_SCL , 2LIS_02_S011 .
So how can i get these transfer rule. and if we want to implement std Purchasing module in BI , which Cubes are required or necessary.
In metadata repository also , for Cube 0PUR_c04 , it does not showing transfer rule HDR/ITM/SCL. there also it is now showing transfer rules.
I will be also very thankful if anybody just give me overview of purchasing.
Thanks,
Sada.
