How to find all the cubes update rules transfer rules ,programms ,ds,ect

HI SDN
Is there any tables for finding update rules,cubes,multiproviders in the system.
can any body tells me the tables for the objects all the objects
thx

Hi Rubane,
These the tables which gives relevant info,
Here are few of those -
Thought it may be of some use if we make a list of useful BW tables
for instance
v_rszglobv = variables
/bic/f (cubename) is the fact table of a content cube
/bic/D (cubename) P is the package dimension of a content cube
/bic/D(cubename) U is the unit dimension of a content cube
/bic/D(cubename) T is the time dimension of a content cube
/bic/D(cubename) I is the userdefined dimension of a content cube
/bic/m (object name) master data of object
/bic/t (object name) text data of object
/bic/H (object name) hierarchy data of object
you can replace the BIC with BI0 for business content object and cubes

An update rule question - Filter out categories within an update rule

Hi All,
I am trying to filter out some categories within the update rule and I appreciate any help with points.
Here is the scenario:
My category field is Z_CAT and I want to delete all the categories except 'A' 'B' and 'C'.
I tried couple routines but non of them worked fine so far.
Regards,
Mike

HI Mike,
One is that is suggested by my friends
Instead of a Hardcore filter based on your requirement In the DTP you can filter the data .
In the DTP ,Se;ect that object in the Filter and select the Criteria as Not Equal to A B and C and then Extract the data.
The advantage is that even if u want to filter or add one category say "D" the it is posiible at the DTP level whereas at the Routnie level u have to make changes and collect them i a request and then u have to transport it.
So decide based on ur requirement.

Error while Activating update rule in BW

Hi,
I am getting an ABAP dump while activating an update rule. The rule is from DSO to cube.
"MESSAGE_TYPE_X" " "
"%_T020N1" or "%_T020N1"
"INSTANTIATE"
I have added some new fields in a DSO. The rule is from DSO to cube. While activating it, I am getting this ABAP dump. There are few other rules from this DSO to other DSO which got activated but this one is causing dump.
Any ideas/suggestions on this would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi
Check if your Cube , DSO and UR's are active. If not reactivate them. Ideally you could recreate the UR's and check the status by running the extraction.
I would also recommend to use elimination method to check if any particular field is creating an issue. While recreating the UR's , create them for a few fields - active - check extraction - this will also let you know if the issue is within any oif the rules.
Cheers

Error while Transporting Update Rules.

hi xperts,
   I am getting Error while Transporting the Update rules,i already transported the INFOCUBE,INFOPACKAGE EVERYTHING.
    Start of the after-import method for object type R3TR ROUT (Delete Mode)
Errors occurred during post-handling RS_AFTER_IMPORT for ROUT L
The errors affect the following components:
    BW-WHM (Warehouse Management)
Is the error,I didn't change any thing in the Cube or changes to Update rules.
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

Simple creation of Update Rule from BW Data Source

Hi guys,
 Pertaining standard SAP Business Content extractors
 I am referring to InfoCube : 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions)
 I am attempting to create an Update Rule from Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount)
 This Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount) is connected to BW Data Source(Not R/3!) 0HR_PA_PA_1
 I have created an Info Package for this Info Source and managed to get 15 records{In Contrast to my 68800 Records from Info Source : 0HR_PA_0(Employee)}
 So, when I create an Update Rule to Connect Info Cube: 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions) to Info Source to Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount), I get the following error
ERROR : IC=0PA_C01 IS=0HR_PA_PA_1 error when checking the update rules
Could you please also advice, why do I only get 15 records for Data Source 0HR_PA_PA_1 ?
P/S : I am on BW 3.5

Hey Rohini,
 This Data Source: 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount) is tricky to me because it`s a BW Data Source.
 Exact Error Message is as follows :-
"Error Message : RSAU461
 IC=0PA_C01 IS=0HR_PA_PA_1 error when checking the update rules "
 My Exact Problem is that I don`t see any values for the following fields in my Info Cube : 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions)
Country;
Country Code;
Gender;
Nationality;
Language;
Postal Code;
Region;
Position;
Job;
Payroll Area;
Payroll Group;
Pay Scale's;
Pay Grade's
This is because, this information is supplied by InfoSource : 0HR_PA_PA_1
But I don`t have an Update Rule for this InfoSource in my InfoCube : 0PA_C01
So, that's why I am attempting to create this additional Update Rule
 And also, could someone enlighten me why would SAP not include such a standard Update Rule when they have already idenfied those needed fields in a Cube ? This is suppose to be a STANDARD workable Business Content right ?
P/S: I have applied Note : 336229

Error in activating the update rules

Hi All
I am getting an error while activating Business Content update rules.
I have activate Cube and corresponding InfoCube and was trying to select update rule for the Cube and installing it.
It however gives an error saying Update Rules (Technical Name) are not found.
Anyone encountered this in the past.
If yes let me know the remedy
Regards
PB

Hi P B,
This might be a long shot, but I still want to see if I can be of any assistance:
Have you encountered SAP note 789272 and SAP note 787875?
They should be contained in SP 19 for BW 310, and your errors do resemble those we encountered, albeit using a different version of BW. These notes are relevant for both mine and your version.
Otherwise, I'll gladly have a look at your error messages you can send over here.
Best Regards,
Daniel

Error in activation of update rules.

Hi,
I get an error - 'IC=0PP_C02 IS=2LIS_04_P_MATNR error when checking the update rules' while activating the update rules in BI content. Rest all the data flow is activated except update rules.
Can anyone throw some light on this?
Thanks & Regards,
Manisha

Hi ,
Check the update rule.
In that there are two routines.
In the first one Goods being processed & 2nd one as well , there is syntax err.
/BI0/APP_O010 doest exist.
Mostly it is fetching some data from some dso in this routine.
So it should be activated.
Then update rules will be activated.

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,
Soumya

Start Routine in Update Rule

I want to replace all '# ' values showing up in a report with space. For this I plan to write a Start Routine in the Update Rules which should scan all the data coming in into the cube and replace all null or '' with space.
What is the best way to write this routine. It should check all data in all the fields of the data load coming in.
Thanks

Hi,
     The space is shown as # in the BW Reports, to confirm check the value in the cube for this field, so
      you need to change that to some other character like X or Y or explain your end users that SAP
      designates a space as # and it will be displayed that way in the reports.

Raj

Can you help me interpret the following lines in UPDATE rule?

Hi,
Can you help me interpret the following lines in UPDATE rule?
1. What is the role of role of u201CCHANGING RESULT.u201D and u201CCHANGING lc_local_value.u201D?
2. What is the role of the CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY', in particular the Exporting and Importing parts?
3. Can I say that u201CCOMM_STRUCTURE-ORDER_VALu201D in the subroutine is passed to u201Clc_document_valueu201D in the u201CFORM loc_curr_convertu201D; and further passed to u201Cforeign_amountu201D in the u201CCALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'u201D?
4. Finally, what becomes of my original u201CActual Goods receipt quantityu201D( 0GR_QTY ) which I am writing the routine for? I donu2019t see any where in the code that it is being referred to? Do any of these codes affect the value of 0GR_QTY?
5. Also, if there are 3 different subroutines in the INCLUDE and I am making the change described in #4 above, how do I know which of the 3 subroutines to call?
===============================
===============================
So I am reviewing a transfer routine in for u201CActual Goods receipt quantityu201D and routine an INCLUDE statement: INCLUDE RS_BCT_MM_UPDATE_RULES.
The update rule also includes the following properties to run the following subroutine in the Include:

                    COMM_STRUCTURE-EXCHG_RATE
           CHANGING RESULT.
I verified in the INCLUDE (RS_BCT_MM_UPDATE_RULES) and the subroutine is as follows:

           lc_date
           lc_document_currency

HI,
Thanks so much the explanations.
I just verified again on our dev system and the update rule for 0GR_QTY (Actual goods receipt quantity) include the following:
    perFORM QUANTITY_CONVERT
       USING    COMM_STRUCTURE-CPQUAOU
                COMM_STRUCTURE-po_UNIT
                COMM_STRUCTURE-base_uom
                COMM_STRUCTURE-numerator
                COMM_STRUCTURE-denomintr
       CHANGING RESULT
Now, in the include, I also found:
FORM QUANTITY_CONVERT
USING    QC_SOURCE_VALUE
           QC_SOURCE_UNIT
           VALUE(QC_TARGET_UNIT)
           QC_UMREZ
           QC_UMREN
CHANGING QC_TARGET_VALUE.
i. Does it mean it actually does quantity conversion?
ii. If you have access to the INCLUDE I will appreciate some hints on what the subroutine QUANTITY_CONVERT is doing. It does not appear do to be saying anything about quantity conversion; but it is supposed to be doing something with the parameters being passed from the update routine.
iii. In your response to #5, after all the computation in the INCLUDE, what comes back to the Update rule i.e. what comes back to become the value of 0GR_QTY?
Is it the u201CRESULT.u201D in the update rule or u201CQC_TARGET_VALUE.u201D in the subroutine in the INCLUDE.
iv. So, am to create an Update rule for 0PSTNG_DATE and the source is BUDAT; and I need to write a routine using the include INCLUDE RS_BCT_MM_UPDATE_RULES.
I looked through the INCLUDE and identified all the subroutines in this INCLUDE as follows:
QUANTITY_CONVERT
LOC_CURR_CONVERT
GET_WEEK
WEEK_DAY
QUARTER_DAY
--Does it mean that to use this subroutine, I can only use the USING parameters of one of these listed subroutines?
--Also, does it mean that because 0PSTNG_DATE is a date, I can only use one of
GET_WEEK
WEEK_DAY
QUARTER_DAY
--Or, are there other includes to be used for 0PSTNG_DATE
Thanks

Can not view update rules on production BW server

This can be quite a time-consuming problem as I can't always tell if the latest update rules are successfully transported to production.
Most every where else in production I can choose to DISPLAY however this is not the case with update rules only.
Is this a typical setting for most companies? Can I turn off this setting so I can at least DISPLAY the update rules?

hi,
as far as I know you can only see any rules (transfer, update etc.) in BW in change mode.
if you know where to change this setting (i.e. to see rules) - do it
you only have to remember to change it on dev and transport.
Regards,
Andrzej
ps. work around would be to debugg it with simulate data package processing, how to do this?

Key Figure missing in update rules

Hi All,
A Key figure is missing in Update rule of ODS & Infocube.
But it is listed in infosource ( comm. & transfer structure) of ODS.
Why it is so . Any suggestions.
infosource->ODS_>infocube.
Please help me.
Edited by: anand k on Mar 24, 2008 12:16 PM

Hi,
I will give the process that I followed (as you specified) now:
1. I deleted the Source System Assignment for the Infosource.
2. Next went to Source Systems. Right click on source system and replicate it.
3. Select the InfoSoucre and assign the Data Source.
4. Here I automatically got the Field(ZZMBGBTR).
5. I added the field in the Communication Structure. and then assigned the Transfer Rules. Next activated the InfoSource.NExt checked the InfoCube for the KeyFigure. That InfoObject ZQTY is available.
6. I activated the InfoCube. Right Click and select Create Update Rules. Still I didnt got that InfoObject.
Regards
Jay

Key figure routine in update rules

I have a Cube (X) that gets data from a ODS (A) but one of the key figures gets the data from another ODS (B) with a routine in update rules and I want to change it to ODS (C)
A (All objects except one) - X (All objects except one)

 and PSTNG_DATE GE l_datainicio
 and /BIC/ZTPOPER = '9'.
My problem is that my ODS (C) doesn't have 0DEB_CRE_LC and the values are divided in 2 key figures (D) & (E), I want to sum both key figures into 0DEB_CRE_LC of the cube.
I tried a tip from a friend but didn't work, I'm lost (newbie), and apreciated some tips, it doesn't seem to sum anything
data: result1 type /BIC/AZPUR_S0100-/BIC/ZSLIQ_VAL,

Fields missing in Update rules

I am creating snap shot DSO for inventory management and after that i created the update rules for it linking it to the info source 2LIS_03_BX. When i do this i am missing the info objects that i created to include in the DSO. How do i solve this issue as those info objects are very important and i have to create the routines for it.
I have got the units for those fields and they are mapped but the info objects itself are missing.
Thanks for any help in advance
Naveen

HI Naveen,
Yes, you can include the missing infoobject in DSO. for that you need to follow bellow steps:
a). Delete the data from DSO.
b). you have to include the infoobject in DSO.
Double click on DSO>select chage mode->select keyfield /data field node--->right click select Infoobject Direct Input.
c). Activate the DSO
Brief Description about 2LIS_03_BX :
The 2LIS_03_BX is used to extract an opening stock balance on a detailed level (material, plant, storage location and so on). At this moment, the opening stock is the operative stock in the source system. "At this moment" is the point in time at which the statistical setup ran for infosource 2LIS_03_BX.Loading the opening stock balance InfoSource 2LIS_03_BX into data target.In the InfoPackage, choose the upload mode u201CCreate opening balanceu201D.
