Update rule changes

hi
is there a way to compare previous & currently active Update rules ...somebody has changed the update rules and i have no clue what changes have been made ..
i need to check changes to 0recordmode
thanks

Hi Koops
Check the Update routine as well as field wise routine
Click on any field in the update rules it will take to you to the another screen there u will click on the field wise code u will know.Normally for our seek when ever changes are made @ that time we will put a comment along with the date.
Hope it will clear.If not let me know for further.

Update Rules changes from 1 ODS to another disappear upon activation

Dear Experts,
We have encountered a situation whereby we have an update rule from ODS feeding a field update to another ODS.
This update rule change works correctly as I have debugged it and you can see the resultant changed in the new (40) table. But upon activating this change, the field change disappears.
Can anyone provide an explaination and how I can go about fixing this ?
Thanks
Craig

Hi,
If the data source support deltas and we load the data into ODS then the update type for the keyfig. Amount and the quanty always Choose as "Addition" .So you change the update type for that KF as Addition .
Thanks & regards,

Update Rule Routine not deleted properly

Hi all
I have deleted a routine from an update rule, removed the key figure from the infoprovider and reactivated both the ODS and the update rule.
The update rule therefore no longer contains the datafield.
Unfortunately the the code for the routine still exists in the system (RSAABAP and other tables) and references in this routine to other fields are preventing me carrying out other actions, so I need to properly remove the routine from the system.
I cannot go back to the old generated code for the update rules as there is no version management. I have tried putting the field back on the ODS and recreating the routine, but the system generates a new key for the routine so it looks as though I have lost the link completely.
Any suggestions? Is there a way of deleting an object type R3TR ROUT consistently without doing it through the Update rules change screen?
Regards
Hayley

Hi,
Let me give the solution, we are also having the same issues..
thanks in advance

Change description of update rule between ODS'es

Hi!
In a BW 3.5 system I have the following problem: I cannot change the description of an update rule between two ODS'es.
When creating such a rule the system automatically generates the technical name and takes the description of the source ODS for the naming of the update rule. Afterwards I have changed the description of the ODS. I have deleted the old update rule and recreated it. When selecting the source ODS from the F4 picklist the new description can be seen. When the source ODS is selected and the update rule is generated, the old description has appeared again however.
Does anybody knows how this is possible and what can be done about it?
Best regards,
Hans

have you tried regenerating an export DataSource out of the ODS?

"Master data attr. of" un change source of update rule.

hi,
What is the importance of following in "change source" (characteristics) in update rules.
1. master data attr. of
2.initial value
3. Source chars
4. constant
When and why these are used.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Avneet

Hi Avneet,
Lets say Material group is an attribute of 0MATERIAL. You cube contains Material and also Material Group as a separate characteristic (not as navigational attr) becasue you want to store the value of material group as it was during the time the transaction happened.
But here you transactional data coming from the source brings Material values, not values of Material Group. So in the update rule for Material Group, you can specify "Master data attribute of" 0MATERIAL. What the system will do is take the value of 0MATERIAL on this record and populate Material Group taking the value that is present in Material Master data.
So if Material = M100 and Material Group is MG01 in master data, it will supply MG01 to Material Group char in the cube.
Hope this helps...

Why data in PSA doesn't change when update rule routine is modified?

Hello guys,
why data in PSA is not changed after I modifiied the update rule routine. I created a infopackage which is only to PSA, but it shows me any change. If I changed this infopackage to the one which is assigned to "PSA firstly, and then to Infoobject", then I saw the changes in infoobject, but in PSA, still nothing changed.
I can't figure out the reason. Any hint is welcome!
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Liying

HI..
1) PSA data is like of source system data
2)Update rules are how you update your keyfigures to Data Tragets.
Since you have put upto PSA that is the first data staging in BW so there wont be any change of the data even if you write routines at update rules.
Hope it is clear

How to change techn. name of update rules

hi, all,
is it possible to rename update rules, or, instead, to copy them under another techn. name(complete, not only a row)?
Can anyone help me?
best regards
neven
Message was edited by: Neven Terziev

hi Neven,
it's possible to copy update rules between data targets, but the technical name is generated by system (alpahnumeric). so if you just want the name changed, perhaps you can copy to another target and then copy back by specify the data target in 'template'. or not sure if you can use the data target itself as tempate. can specify more your consideration to change the name ?
hope this helps.

Change 0calmonth format in update rule !!!

Hi ,
I am loading the data in to ODS from a flat file and the value for 0calmonth from file is Jan/2006. I want to change the format to 01/2006 when i am loading the data in to ODS. i know i can do this update rule but i do not know how to write the code or use some formulas..
Please advice !!
AC..

Hi AC,
The code would be similar to this:
Data: V_Mon(3), V_Mon_num(3), V_year(4), V_calmonth(7).
V_Mon = Comm_structure-calmonth+0(3).
V_year = Comm_structure-calmonth+4(4).
V_calmonth
Case V_Mon.
When V_Mon = 'Jan'.
V_Mon_num = '001'.
When V_Mon = 'Feb'.
V_Mon_num = '002'.
Endcase.
Concatenate V_Mon_num V_year into v_calmonth.
RESULT = v_calmonth.
Bye

Update Rules - Characteristic - cannot accept changes

Hello,
I have a strange issue when I work with Update Rules (I know, old method, no my fault, customer has a solution like this). I need to assign the characteristic, so I open the rule details tab, I select the characteristic and click "method" button. The pop up "change source" appears. Not the matter I select, constant, routine or whatever, when I accept it and when I go back to the rule details tab again, I cannot go further. When I want to accept all of the changes, the pop up with "change source" appears again and again. There is only a possibility to cancel the changes. Did you see something like this before?

Hello,
The solution was to use the program SAP_FACTVIEWS_RECREATE to recreate the views.

Changing update rules to source MASTERDATA ATTR OF

Hi gurus
I am trying to change the update rules of char which is in a cube from source char to masterdata attr of
but i cant change the rules as i press f4 it is saying that no values found.
Any possible solution
Thanks in advance

Hi,
you can only use this option if the characteristics in the target is present in the attribute of any of the characteristics present in the source data package i.e. data source ...then only it will give you that char as the option.
Thanks

No changes in Update rules even after changes in Communicatin struct

Hello All,
I have made changes to a transfer structure i.e. I added a field in the Communication structure and mapped in the transfer structure. I was expecting the update rule to be deactivated after this. But the Update rule is activated. Because of this I am not able to accomodate my new infoObject in the update rule. What might be the problem?
Regards,
KP

Hi KK PP,
Update rules are only pertained to Data targets,These helps to map the object to the Infosource using a rule.If you change the transfet structure or communication structure it will not effect update rules.If you add some object to your data target then update rules will be changed.

"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

Problem in changing 3.x update rule

Hi gurus,
I have a problem after upgrading from 3.x to 7.
In an update rule, when I insert a constant into a characteristic field, the system displays this popup: "transfer the routine for this characteristic to all the key figures for this update rule?". After say yes, I would like to exit (with green flag) from update rule but it's impossible!
The system displays me again the list of characteristics and then the previous popup.
Can anyone help me?
Best regards.
Simone.

    BW-WHM (Warehouse Management)

Can anybody Help me?.
   thanking you,
                               with regards,
                               Narendra.

Hi,
Are you still facuing the issue ?
No need to worry about the routines, once you save the update rules if there is any routines in it it will be saved in the same request. If you want to check the routines you can check in the transport connections. Transfer the update rule to the right hand side of the screen and you can see all the routines that belong to the UR.
If you know the technical names of the routines you can check in the TADIR table.
Have you transported the info-sources for this update rules ? why not you again capture the info-source and the update rule in a single request and transport again.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Soumya

Using an internal table from a strt rountine in an update rule

I created a start routine and i now want to take the value from the internal table and set my result to it in my update rule. I try that and it says it isn't a header table but I defined it this way. here is the code
DATA: T_BILL_DATA LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF /BIC/AZBIL_O5300,
   Ls_data like line of T_BILL_DATA.
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line   -
FORM compute_key_field
TABLES   MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR "user defined monitoring
USING    COMM_STRUCTURE LIKE /BIC/CS2LIS_12_VCSCL
           RECORD_NO LIKE SY-TABIX
           RECORD_ALL LIKE SY-TABIX
           SOURCE_SYSTEM LIKE RSUPDSIMULH-LOGSYS
CHANGING RESULT LIKE /BIC/VZSD_C51T-SALESORG
           RETURNCODE LIKE SY-SUBRC
           ABORT LIKE SY-SUBRC. "set ABORT <> 0 to cancel update
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
fill the internal table "MONITOR", to make monitor entries
result value of the routine
READ TABLE T_BILL_DATA WITH KEY
DOC_NUMBER = COMM_STRUCTURE-DOC_NUMBER
S_ORD_ITEM = COMM_STRUCTURE-S_ORD_ITEM
REFER_DOC = COMM_STRUCTURE-DELIV_NUMB
REFER_ITM = COMM_STRUCTURE-DELIV_ITEM
BINARY SEARCH.
RESULT = T_BILL_DATA-SALESORG.

Hi LMM,
The definition is not correct, your table doesn't have header line.
try this,
DATA: T_BILL_DATA LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF /BIC/AZBIL_O5300 with header line.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
