Update rules deactivating

Hello All,
   In the my productive BW system, a set of update rules became inactive.  They were active one day - inactive the next.  The system is closed, and no transports moved.  No one opened the system.  When I double-click on the update rules, it says the rules were modified by 'IMPACT' (what I usually see when I change a data target), at a certain time in the morning - and that - sure enough - they were deactivated due to a change in the data target.
   To fix the problem, I had my Basis team open the system and I reactivated manually.  There no issues here - the rules just reactivated.  Further, the rules from the supposedly changed data target were active - meaning the data target did not, in fact, change.  I am on BW 3.5, SP 20.
1.  Has anything like this ever happened to anyone else?
2.  Does anyone have an explanation for how this could occur?
3.  Is there a log that either I or Basis could go to to try and see what happened?
4.  Does anyone have any advice about what else I can try to do to diagnose this issue?
Thanks.
Dave

Hi,
There are circumstances where your IPs fails with error " Inactive update rules "
Like,
Suppose a load was running and u cancelled it but the processing of packets is progressing.
In the mean while if you repeat the same IP, then we will be getting this error as "Inactive update rules". This is because your update rules are being used by its previous load.
To avoid this, you have to wait till the processing of old load is over. After that if you repeat, It will become successful.
At any point of time same update rules cannot be used in parallel.
Hope it will be useful.

    BWer,
    If you collect your transport in a big lump of a single transport, the tranport connection may not organize it in the order of the proper dependency, so it is best to split it to separate transports as stated above to ensure the proper dependencies. 
    To fix the issue right now, you can either
    1) take another transport through of only the updated / activated update rule or
    2) if you know what you are doing and if the client is okay with it, open the system, activate the update rule and when prompted for a transport, create a new one and go to SE10 to clean up that repair transport by deleting the subtasks. 
    I would probably recommend option 1 for you.  I only do option 2 if it is an emergency and there is no transport window for another week or longer or it just simply cannot wait.

  • Update rules deactivated after transporting cube with zero elimination on

    Hello,
    The update rules were deactivated in the quality system after transporting the cube with the zero elimination flag switched on.  However, the update rules in development were not deactivated when setting the zero elimination flag.  So, the update rules in the "From" system were not deactivated.  This only happened  in the "To" System.  Does anyone know why?
    Thanks,
    Maureen

    If there is any change you did on cube, you need to re-activate your update rules.
    Re-activate your UR and transport it. It should be ok.
    Hope it helps..

  • Deactivated update rule

    i have transported an infoprovider up to our target system and the update rule got deactivated. it was last changed by IMPACTED, and i have checked the structure of the infoprovider moved and there are no structural changes (e.g. addition/deletion of fields). the nav attributes and dimensions are the same as well. is there any thing else i should be checking? im not sure if the IO's structure should impact this, can someone verify?

    HI Mark Siongco

  • Error when activating update rule after transporting to QA

    Hi,
    When we transport Info cubes and update rules along with Process chains. There are the following errors in Transport request(XXXXXXXX).
    1. Error when activating update rule 22HSFD3ZMALU46LS0R8PRF2MW
    IC=ZSDPCXY2 IS=2LIS_11_VAITM error when checking the update rules
    2. Error when activating update rule 7NT4WIDPDCN2ERFDRXIGH95PM
    IC=ZSDPCXY2 IS=2LIS_12_VCHDR error when checking the update rules
    and etc.
    Then we activated and saved all the erroneous update rules in another tranport request(YYYYYYYY) and again we transported alongwith the previous transport request(XXXXXXXX).
    The last request(YYYYYYYY)was successfully tranported and still there are same errors in TR(XXXXXXXX).
    Quick answers will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    Next time you would have transport only (YYYYYYYY). Transport Request (XXXXXXX) was not required to be moved.
    Normally Update Rule gets deactivated in QA when any changes to the CUbe/ODS are moved.
    Thus either you can transport transport request for only active update rule to QA or activate your UR directly in QA system in case you have authorization to do that.

  • Error while activating the update rules related to Inventory

    Hi,
    In standard Cube 0ic_c03, I am including a field 0MAT_DOC that is available in the transfer rules of 2lis_03_bx. And when I include that info object in the cube my update rules are getting deactivated.
    When I try to activate the update rules, I am getting the following error message:
    1. InfoSource 2LIS_03_BX is only set up for the initial run for non-cumulatives.
    2. IC=0IC_C03 IS=2LIS_03_BX error when checking the update rules.
    Requesting you to please guide me on how do I go about solving this issue.
    Thanks & Regards.

    Hi Ganesh,
    For implementation of inventory in the BW side, first you need to carry out following steps sequentially:
    1. MCNB: Filling set up tables for initial entry of stock balances from 2lis_03_BX
    2. OLI1BW:Filling set up tables for stock movements from 2lis_03_BF.
    3. OLIZBW:Filling set up tables for inventory revaluations from 2lis_03_UM
    Check the Business content cube 0IC_C03.
    Also check the document how to inventory management.
    For report install the business content report for the cube 0IC_C03 and check it.
    check this link for inventory

  • Inactive connection in update rules

    Hello,
    How do I update my update rules for 0MATERIAL_ATTR in the production system (BW prod)?
    I have attempted to transport the update from dev. I have the info object in the uodate rules, but not the connection to the source field.
    How do I get the connection active in the update rules?
    Best regards,
    Fredrik

    Frederik,
        create new transport from DEV for Update Rules( Make some change in the description or some space in the routine). Transport this request to production it will be rectified.
    or try to import the previous transport again. When cube gets changed UR get deactivated. Try to reactivate the UR either by creating new transport or reimport the old one.
    Last week i faced the same problem. i reimported the same transport i sloved my problem. one time i created new transport for UR, i imported in Production it's activated my UR.
    all the best.

  • Update Rule in Q not active

    Hi SDNers,
             when i transported a update rule from D to Q, the update rule still remains inactive. I repeated the transport again and again still it wont change although in D it is active. Even other objects are fine. I did only necessary objects first time and in the repeats i did dataflow b4..Any help??
    Thanks
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    You need to ask your BASIS Team help in this regard.
    First you have to identify which trnsports are to be reversed. For Example, The update rules were active until 17 jun 06. On 18 june 06 you transported some new changes to the cube or IS and the update rules were deactivated. Then you created several transports to activate the update rules and they are all failed.
    So you have to back the changes upto 17 jun 06.
    Once all the transports are reversed you can see the update rules active in QA.
    Then you create a fresh transport and apply the changes. Make sure,If you change a cube ot IS, you also have to include UR in your transport.
    Hope this helps

  • 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.

  • Update rule activation......

    Hi,
    I have added one of the fileds in ODS.  This ODS gets data from 6 ODS.
    All the update rules got deactivated.
    Any reason why?
    what we have to do ?
    Will all the activation of all the update rules need to get transported again?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jeetu

    Hi,
    BW don't know if/how this field should be updated from 1 or several of the 6 ODS'es. Therefore the update rules are inactive and you have to activate them AND updatethe new field if you want or set it to initial if you don't want to update it.
    And yes, you should then transport this.
    Kind regards

  • 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,

    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 <b>InfoCube : 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions)</b>
       I am attempting to<u> create </u>an <b>Update Rule</b> from <b>Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount)</b>
       This <b>Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount)</b> is connected to <b>BW Data Source</b>(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 <b>Info Cube: 0PA_C01(Headcount and Personnel Actions)</b> to <b>Info Source to Info Source : 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount)</b>, I get the following error
    ERROR : <b>IC=0PA_C01 IS=0HR_PA_PA_1 error when checking the update rules</b>
      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 <b>Data Source: 0HR_PA_PA_1(Headcount)</b> is tricky to me because it`s a BW Data Source.
       Exact Error Message is as follows :-
      "<b>Error Message : RSAU461
        IC=0PA_C01 IS=0HR_PA_PA_1 error when checking the update rules</b> "
       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
    <i>  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 ?</i>
      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,

  • 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.
