Update from master data attribute

I have a key figure in my update rule for Info source(0HR_PA_1) for info cube(0PA_C01). I would like to update this KF to write a codein update rule like no.of working hours/37.
No.of working hours(ZWOSTD) is an attribute of 0employee master data. 0employee object is there in transfer structure for info source 0HR_PA_1.
Is it possible to get attribute value(No.of working hours) which is char type fom 0employee masterdata.
Please help me with this.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
just do a select on view /bi0/memployee.
select * into wa from /bi0/memployee
where employee = comm_structure-employee
and objvers = 'A'
and dateto >= comm_structure-<date field>
and datefrom <= comm_structure-<date_field>.
Make sure the content of zwostd is numeric and assign it to your keyfigure.
result = wa-/bic/zwostd.
That should work.
regards
Siggi
PS: may be you need to convert the datatypes.

Read from master data attribute

Hi BI experts,
Here is a challenging question.
One of the FIGL infoprovider do not have infoobject 0company. Added 0company and set up update type 'overwrite'. Update method 'Master data attribute'. So 0company should read from the master data attribute of 0Comp_code.
Master data attribute loaded for 0comp_code. Did transaction data load for FIGL infoprovider.
But 0company is blank in FIGL ODS.
Any thoughts..
Thanks in advance

It should ideally pull the 0company, Otherwise try doing it thru Start routine ..
Create an internal table, pull company code and company from the master data table of Company code into this table.
Read from this table in your update routine and corresponding to the company code read the company and populate in your ODS.
It will also be better in performance compared to a master data look up !!!!!!!
Regards.

Change dataosurce from master data attributes to text

Hi,
i build data source as master data attributes (in tr sbiw) and i want to change it to text ,
how can i do that?
Regards

Hi....
You can copy it and recreate it as text in RSO2.
Just create a new one... There are max 5 entries in a generic extractor so note them down and recreate...

Is it possible to update master data attributes from an ODS?

HELLO ALL,
we have records coming into our ods like the following:
costcenter1, subcostcentera, subcostcenterb, manager responsible, costs (kf).
This is a custom flat file load from a legacy system.
We would like to just create an update rule from the ODS to the cost center mater data characteristic attributes.
Is this possible?
thank you

Yes its possible to update the master data attributes from an ODS.
Define your master data characteristics as a infoprovider.
Create a update rule on Characteristic with ODS as a source and do general mapping.
For step by step, pls refer..

Master data attributes declaration in update rules

Hi Everyone,
can any one tell me, How do we use attributes of master data in update rules..need syntax for using attributes of customer.... like comm_structure-/bic/......etc
post code is attribute of customer, How do I use it in update rule
thanks
Siri

Hi!
if you have customer as attribute in your Infosource and Postcode as acharecteristic in your data target then you just need to select ther 3rd type of update rule "MAster data attribute of" and specifxy 0Cusotomer beside

No delta's for DTP from master data object to Info Cube

Hello,
I have a DTP process that updates records from master data attributes to Info cube.
Here i am not able to schedule a DTP in delta mode. The option appears in display mode.
Even though when i tried deleting the FULL update DTP and created a new DTP, the delta option is in display mode. i have deleted all requests from my info cube.
Any idea or solution !!
Thanks
Ankur

Ankur,
   If you want load Master Data DELTAs to Cube, you can achive this by introducing a DSO before Master Data Infoobjects.
Assume your Dataflow....
Master Datasource
          |
          |
          |
Master Data Infobjects
          |
          |
          |
      Cube
New Dataflow:
          Master Datasource
                    |
                    |
                    |
          |-------DSO---------|
          |                   |
          |                   |
      Cube      Master Data Infobjects
Hope this helps.

Extraction through master data attribute not working

Hi All,
In my ODS, i have a field Sales Document Item, with attributes ship-to-party, sold-to-party, etc.
Now, ship-to-party and sold-to-party are extracted using the update method master data attribute of Sales Document Item.
For some of the Items, the ship-to-party and sold-to-party are getting extracted properly, but for others, they are returned as blank; even though these records are present in the master data for Sales Document Item.
Kindly provide your inputs for this issue...

Hi Apeksha,
Check your transformations.for those "ship-to-party and sold-to-party "
Thanks,
Vijay.

Map My Update Rule from a Master Data Attribute

Hello experts,
I haven't tried this scenario yet, hope you can help me, the Issue is this
I have 2 InfoObjects ZPSCHRCHY and 0PROFIT_CTR from InfoCube WBS cost and allocations I want both the InfoObjects to be mapped to 0PROFIT_CTR attribute of 0WBS_ELEMT master data object, I have tried the Master Data Attribute but only 0PROFIT_CTR is an attribute of the Master Data.how can I mapped ZPSCHRCHY and 0PROFIT_CTR to 0PROFIT_CTR?, Is creating a start routine for it must be used? Thank you very much

Can routine replace "master data attribute of" update rule for performance?

Hi all,
We are working on CRM-BW data modeling, We have to look up agent master data for agent level and position for each transaction data. So now we are using "Master data attribute of" update rule. Can we use routine instead of "Master data Attribute of" ? Will it improve the loading performance? Since we have to load 1 lack transaction records , where as we have 20,000 agent details in agent master data.My understanding is, for each record in data package the system has to go to master data table and bring the agent details & store in cubes. Say one agent created 10 transactions, then this option "master data attribute of" will read the agent master data 10 times even though we are going to pull same details for all 10 transactions from master data. if we use routine, we can pull the agent details& storing in internal table removing all duplicates and in update routine we can read the internal table.
Will this way improve performance?
let me know if you need further info?
Thanks in advance.
Arun Thangaraj

Hi,
your thinking is absolutely right!
I don't recommend to use the standard attribute derivation since it will perform a SELECT to the database for EACH record.
Better implement a sorted table in your start routine; fill it with SELECT <fields> FROM <master_data_table> FOR ALL ENTRIES OF datapak WHERE OBJVERS = 'A' etc...
In your routine perform a READ itab ... BINARY SEARCH.... I believe that you won't be able to go faster...
hope this helps...

How to extract master data attribute from r/3 to bw give steps details

Hi
Go through the below process to extract Master Data Attribute from R/3
Hi,
Maintaining Generic DataSources
Use
Regardless of the application, you can create and maintain generic DataSources for transaction data, master data attributes or texts from any transparent table, database view or SAP Query InfoSet, or using a function module. This allows you to extract data generically.
Procedure
Creating Generic DataSources
1. Select the DataSource type and specify a technical name.
2. Choose Create.
The screen for creating a generic DataSource appears.
3. Choose the application component to which you want to assign the DataSource.
4. Enter the descriptive texts. You can choose any text.
5. Select the datasets from which you want to fill the generic DataSource.
a. Choose Extraction from View if you want to extract data from a transparent table or a database view. Enter the name of the table or the database view.
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the database view or transparent table.
For more information about creating and maintaining database views and tables, see the ABAP Dictionary Documentation.
b. Choose Extraction from Query if you want to use a SAP Query InfoSet as the data source. Select the required InfoSet from the InfoSet catalog.
Notes on Extraction Using SAP Query
After you generate the DataSource, you have a DataSource with an extraction structure that corresponds to the InfoSet.
For more information about maintaining the InfoSet, see the System Administration documentation.
c. Choose Extraction Using FM if you want to extract data using a function module. Enter the function module and extraction structure.
The data must be transferred by the function module in an interface table E_T_DATA.
Interface Description and Extraction Process
For information about the function library, see the ABAP Workbench: Tools documentation.
d. With texts you also have the option of extracting from fixed values for domains.
6. Maintain the settings for delta transfer, as required.
7. Choose Save.
When performing extraction, note SAP Query: Assigning to a User Group.
Note when extracting from a transparent table or view:
If the extraction structure contains a key figure field that references a unit of measure or a currency unit field, this unit field has to be included in the same extraction structure as the key figure field.
A screen appears on which you can edit the fields of the extraction structure.
8. Edit the DataSource:
○ Selection
When you schedule a data request in the BI scheduler, you can enter the selection criteria for the data transfer. For example, you can determine that data requests are only to apply to data from the previous month.
If you set the Selection indicator for a field within the extraction structure, the data for this field is transferred in correspondence with the selection criteria in the scheduler.
○ Hide field
You set this indicator to exclude an extraction structure field from the data transfer. The field is no longer available in BI when you set the transfer rules or generate the transfer structure.
○ Inversion
Reverse postings are possible for customer-defined key figures. Therefore inversion is only active for certain transaction data DataSources. These include DataSources that have a field that is marked as an inversion field, for example, the update mode field in DataSource 0FI_AP_3. If this field has a value, the data records are interpreted as reverse records in BI.
If you want to carry out a reverse posting for a customer-defined field (key figure), set the Inversion indicator. The value of the key figure is transferred to BI in inverted form (multiplied by 1).
○ Field only known in exit
You can enhance data by extending the extraction structure for a DataSource by adding fields in append structures.
The Field Only Known in Exit indicator is set for the fields of an append structure; by default these fields are not passed to the extractor from the field list and selection table.
Deselect the Field Only Known in Exit indicator to enable the Service API to pass on the append structure field to the extractor together with the fields of the delivered extract structures in the field list and in the selection table.
9. Choose DataSource ® Generate.
The DataSource is saved in the source system.
Maintaining Generic DataSources
● Change DataSource
To change a generic DataSource, in the initial screen of DataSource maintenance, enter the name of the DataSource and choose Change.
You can change the assignment of a DataSource to an application component or change the texts of a DataSource. Double-click on the name of the table, view, InfoSet or extraction structure to get to the appropriate maintenance screen. Here you make the changes to add new fields. You can also completely swap transparent tables and database views, though this is not possible with InfoSets. Return to DataSource maintenance and choose Create. The screen for editing a DataSource appears. To save the DataSource in the SAP source system, choose DataSource ® Generate.
If you want to test extraction in the source system independently of a BI system, choose DataSource ® Test Extraction.
● Delta DataSource
On the Change Generic DataSource screen, you can delete any DataSources that are no longer relevant. If you are extracting data from an InfoSet, delete the corresponding query. If you want to delete a DataSource, make sure it is not connected to a BI system.

Loadin Master data Attribute from ODS

Hi experts,
I have a Master data as Infoprovider:
CASE with attributes at1 and at2.
I loading master data.
Another infoArea, I have and ODS ( case, field1, field2) that is loading with DELTA.
After loading the delta, I want to update the AT2 from CASE master data.
Which is the best option to loading an attribute from ODS? FULL? DELTA? What happend if the duplicate key error appears??
I believe that with a DELTA Update from ODS to CASE will not be an error.
thanks a lot!

Hi,
I dont think so there sould be problem in further update from ODS to Attribute.
It would be better to keep the Delta in Further update.

Updating Master data attributes through BPS

Hi All,
Can we modify master data attributes via BPS? Like we have some Attribute characteristics for 'vendor' say 'class(good/bad/ok)' and we want that to be updated via BPS (not from R/3) then how it can be achived?
Please help by explaining this.

Hi,
Create two variables one for vendor and other for status (variable of type attribute), give both the variables in the folder. User will select the vendor and the attribute status value in selections. Create an exit planning function to update the attribute.
Import parameters
i_area type upc_y_area
i_variable type upc_y_variable
i_chanm type upc_y_chanm
Export parameters
eto_charsel type upc_yto_charsel
tables
i_t_attributes structure rsd_s_iobjnm optional
i_t_data structure rsndi_s_chavl optional
In the code, Read the above two variable values selected by user. Then delete the existing entry of MD by calling the function RSNDI_MD_DELETE.
Now update the master data with the new attribute value selected by the user in the variable by calling the function
RSNDI_MD_ATTRIBUTES_UPDATE. After this activate the master data by calling RSDMD_MD_ACTIVATE.
Hope this solves the issue.

How to use Master Data Attribute of in Update Rule's Formula

Hi experts.
In update rule, there is an option to use Master Data Attribute of. However, due to user requirement, I need to use that in Formula instead.
Field to update:
Profit Center
Logic:
If Cost Center is empty
Then Profit Center
Else
Master Data Attribute of Cost Center
I use the following formula at the moment but it is not 100% correct.
IF( Cost Center = '', Profit Center, Cost Center )
Appreciate if anyone could help me out.
Thanks!

Hi,
The easier thing to do will be to use a Update Routine.
Logic will be as follows :-
If Cost center iss initial.
Result = Profit Center
else.
result = Cost center.
endif.

Problem updating infoobject master data from a dso.

Hi all,
i'm updating the master data of an infoobject from another ods, the two table have the same key.
When i update the infoobject with full repair i get errors about duplicate records and the data load stops, when i delete the request and launch the infopackage again all goes well but it seems it doesn't insert any new record in the master data, what could be the problem?
If you need more info ask me.
Thanks a lot.
Stefano

Hi Sadeesh,
i checked the master data table and it seems it has been updated, i check some order number with recordmode N added today in the dso and the entries were in the infoobject, though i don't know why in the request tab it shows 0 added records.
To be completely sure tomorrow i will check again the number of entries in the 'p' table of the infoobject.
Anyway this is the exact error message i get:
7 duplicate record found. 6478 recordings usedin table /BIC/XZDOCDSO
7 duplicate record found. 6478 recordings usedin table /BIC/PZDOCDSO
After that i run the change run for the IO and when i launch again tha data load it goes well.
Regards
Stefano
