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.

    Hi,
    You can easily edit your update rules by getting into change mode.
    Step 1: Double Click on your KF relevant Ty column
    Step 2: After doing necessary mappings in KF Calculation Tab, Chars Tab
    Step 3: Click on Time Ref Tab and again click on Method of your Time Char
    You need to be careful about How you want to map your Time Chars. It depends on your business logic. Discuss with your Functional team or please cross check with your Blue print before you map any fields.

  • Copying of Update Rules

    Hi,
    I need to copy the update rules. Let me explain the requirement:
    The standard business content in SD provides the update rules from InfoSource 2LIS_12_VCHDR to InfoCube 0SD_C03.
    We have created an ODS (ZSD_O01) on the InfoSource 2LIS_12_VCHDR, with the one-to-one field mapping in the update rules.
    As a result, the update rules from ODS ZSD_O01 to InfoCube 0SD_C03 are exactly identical to the Business Content Update rules between the InfoSource 2LIS_12_VCHDR and InfoCube 0SD_C03.
    Can I copy (All) the update rules "between the InfoSource 2LIS_12_VCHDR and InfoCube 0SD_C03" and paste them for the update rules "from ODS ZSD_O01 to InfoCube 0SD_C03" ??.
    If you right-click on any individual update rule line (Go to Change Update rules), you see two options: 1. Copy Rule (F6), 2. Copy Update Rules (Ctrl + F12). What is the purpose of these two?
    Regards,
    Milind

    Hi,
    I hope update rules can be copied only if they are based on same Datasource.
    For example if you want to copy update rules for Cube1 to cube2 it can be done only if these two cubes are based on same ODS or Infosouce.
    Also check some of the similar thread..

  • 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...

  • Characteristic derived Update Rules

    Hi guys,
    I have to make the update rules for a DSO.
    Among characteristics there is one that should by derived from the master data table of another characteristic. Even more, this attribute is time-dependent.
    So, let's say for characteristic zstatus  I:
    <li>checked the Master Data Attribute of</li>
    <li>selected the deriving characteristic zdoc</li>
    <li>clicked the Time Dependency button</li>
    <li>checked the End radio button</li>
    <li>selected 0CALDAY from the Frm match code button</li>
    <li>Closed all modal windows and activated the update rules</li>
    After both, master data bearing characteristics and transaction data were uploaded, the results were far from what I expected to be, as you can see below:
    <li>zdoc Master data</li>
    Comp Code     BP     Ref. no     Valid-to             Valid-from            Document_date     Net_duedate     Status
    RO20     90000724     342342     11.11.2008     01.01.1000     21.11.2008     20.9.2007     
    RO20     90000724     342342     20.11.2008     12.11.2008     21.11.2008     20.9.2007                  1
    RO20     90000724     342342     31.12.9999     21.11.2008     21.11.2008     20.9.2007                  2
    <li>Transaction data [ DSO ]</li>
    Comp Code     BP     Ref. no     Document date     Status     Document Type     Amount     0CALDAY
    RO20     90000724     342342     5.9.2007                                 X            119,00     5.9.2007
    RO20     90000724     342342     5.9.2007                 1             I            119,00     21.11.2008
    RO20     90000724     342342     5.9.2007                 1            X            119,00     21.11.2008
    Well, I expected the Status column in the DSO table [ the bolded column to get the value 2 after deriving the zdoc characteristic on 0CALDAY, during data loading process, however, it takes the value 1 in turn.
    I'm not sure, I'm clear in my explanations...if  there is someone who understood my pain, and tell me what's wrong with my update rules I would appreciate.
    Kind Regards!

    After updating the data, did you perform a hierarchy/attribute change run or "activate" the master data for your lookup object?  Also, check in the "Q" table of the master date lookup object, all of those records should be in the table and active.

  • In the old Numbers I could change the colour of a checkbox using rules - I cannot seem to do this in new Numbers 2013?

    In the old Numbers I could change the colour of a checkbox using rules - I cannot seem to do this in new Numbers 2013?
    I have an old Numbers sheet where I could make the checkbox Cell go Green when ticking "Equal to" TRUE. When I open the old sheet it into new iWork it functions correctly. But I am unable to copy or paste the rule - nor recreate it.
    Any suggestions on how to create a Conditional checkbox cell that goes green once ticked would be most apprecicated.
    Thanks - Steve

    Numbers 3.0 is missing the logic-based "equal to TRUE" or "equal to FALSE" conditions for conditional formatting.  The replacement is text based: "text is TRUE" or "text is FALSE".  You can apply these rules to cells formatted as checkboxes.

  • Here's a fix for "This item cannot be updated because it has been changed by another user or process"

    https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/System-Center-Service-fca7af29
    A few months ago on the Technet Gallery, I submitted this custom control to be used on SCSM console forms. The purpose of the control is to eliminate the "This item cannot be updated because it has been changed by another user or process" error
    message that we all have seen at least once (a day :) ).
    The details are in the gallery description (along with installation instructions for existing forms and your own custom forms).
    Here's a "short" description (nothing I ever post here is short :) ): This is a custom control that can be applied to an SCSM form like the Service Request form or Windows Computer form or your own custom form built with the authoring tool or Visual
    Studio. When you click "OK" or "Apply" on the form, this control scans the form and Service Manager's database for any changes to the object you have open. If a property that _you_ have changed on the form was _also_ changed in the CMDB
    (by a workflow or another user), this control will present a dialog box letting you know what happened. It will also let you choose which value to keep (yours, theirs, or the original value).
    Just as importantly (and important in a greater percentage of cases), if a workflow changes a "background" property (like FirstAssignedDate) while you have the form open and you click OK, the control will detect the change and allow the form submission
    to go through while keeping your changes and the FirstAssignedDate change that the workflow made. You won't get an error message or even a warning. And most importantly, you won't lose your changes.
    That's where the "optimistic" part of the control's name comes from. It applies optimistic concurrency control to SCSM forms, while also providing an anti-collision interface for you to use so you no longer lose any of your changes.
    Furthermore, this control will work on related items that are opened in memory; for example, the activities on a Service Request. So if you change an activity's title while the workflow engine sets it in progress, you won't get an error. The activity will
    be in progress and will get your new title when you click OK or Apply.
    Lastly, (and I admit this part is getting into the deep inner workings of console forms) if your form loads a sub projection at run time (to the root object) this control will detect the load and treat that sub projection as if it were apart of the original
    form all along.
    I've gotten a little feedback about this control, but I'd like to get more since it's a work in progress. So, I'm announcing it here on the forums. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer them here. Thanks,
    folks!
    Oh, and to answer the most common question right away: It's free. There is no paid version or anything like that. This is something I built for the SCSM community.

    Great job! 
    Will definitely try it out. 
    Best regards,
    Marcus

  • Cannot Create Update Rule from Infosource to Cube

    Hello;
    I am a beginner to BI and am learning. This may be a very basic question, but I got stuck.
    In the create update rule screen, I get an error message that says
    Data Source (whatever the name is) not maintained. (check your entries)
    Could some one help as to where I went wrong?
    Thx,
    Sushma
    Su

    Goto your InfoSource and open DataSource Structure and transfer structure. Check if the structure is correct, make the necessary changes if required and activate it. Then create update rules providing correct infosource name. Until you create /activate your transfer structure, you won't be able to create update rules.
    Reward point if 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.

  • 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
