Update rules -Empty or invalid formula error message (Message no. RSAR140)

Greetings to All,
     I am trying to activate update rules from a DSO into a cube.  I am getting the following error message:
Empty or invalid formula 43D46N8MX3MNP06MF69ZQ8L50
Message no. RSAR140
     The problem is that I don't know how to lookup a formula by the technical name.  I know you can right click to show technical names of the InfoObjects, but I don't know how to show the technical names of the <i>formulas</i>.  Does anyone know some way to figure out which formula is the one causing the error when all I know is the technical name?
Thanks,
Sarah-Jane

Hi!
  Thanks so much.  That makes perfect sense, but when I look at that table using transaction SE16, and I click on the "Number of Entries" button, I get a message saying there are zero rows in the table.  Could this be possible?  I know this sounds really weird...
  Just in general, how do I found out the names of tables like RSUPDFORM?  Is there a data dictionary that I can query?
Thank You,
Sarah-Jane

    I have found other threads with this problem. The problem is that you are using your iTunes account on another user at the same time you want to update software. Just close iTunes from that user. See > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4577180?start=0&tstart=0

    I've had this problem for awhile in Windows XP SP3. Last night, the simplest thing occurred to me...here's what I did (and I'm telling because it worked).
    1. Clicked on Start
    2. Clicked on Control Panel
    3. Chose Add/Remove Programs
    4. Found Apple Software Updater and clicked Remove, then responded Yes
    5. Went to apple.com and clicked on Support, and then Downloads
    6. Downloaded the latest version of Safari ONLY
    7. Installed Safari (knowing it would install the latest version of Apple Software Update)
    8. AFTER the installation was complete, I clicked again on Start, then All Programs
    9. then, clicked on Apple Software Update

  • Update rules - Activation error - in cube 0PAPA_C02

    Hi All,
    When i am activating the update rules of 0PAPA_C02 cube, i am encounting the following error for key fig "Headcount Change FTE Employee".
    Empty or invalid formula 8RFPFLULBJGBAO07IDMZGMPXR.
    Please let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    And also make sure that <b>all</b> target fields has proper maapings. i.e either a direct assignment with source field,or routine or formula or constant. Some times sytem shows a routine as update method but blank routine. It happens after,when you include a field to data target or coping the update rules.
    Most of the time, you can solve this type of error by studing very carefully the existing mappings(routines,formulas).

    Hi Vasu,
    as it clearly shows below message
    No communication structure exists for the InfoSource.
    Create a communication structure in the Data Warehousing Workbench for the InfoSource.
    Create an info source first and assign it to your datasource and map the fileds in transfer rules and activate it.
    Then try to create the update rules between your target and info source.
    Hope this helps.

    Reddy

    Need help to activate update rules

    The "new key Figures" that I have included in ODS are added to the "old Key Figures" that are there in ODS already. The "old Key Figures  for which there are source fields. But, the "new key Figures" are dependant on the the 2 source fields.
    So, do I still need to declare these "new key figures" in the ODS?

  • Update Rules active error

    Hi all:

    Thanks in advance

The only way taht I know is delete and make again the update rules.

  • Error while installing 2LIS_03_BX update rules for 0IC_C03

    Dear experts,
    when i am trying to install the standard business content
    update rule for 0IC_C03 for the datasource 2LIS_03_BX,
    it throws me a error stating
    "Object UPDR BW9VUFZSUYTTIZS0HT9I4U3RP could not be found"
    I need the cause and solution for this error.
    With regards,
    Meiyappan

    Please choose to install the Update Rule between InfoSource 2LIS_03_BX to InfoCube 0IC_C03.
    You have probably not selected to install the Update Rule which is throwing an error.
    While Installing, after choosing the required Objects, please also change the Display to "List" to be able to view all objects clearly.

  • 'Invalid Dim' error during dynamic dim building

    Hi Folks,
    I am trying to update an outline using my own dim rules file and data .txt file, but i get an error in the dimbuild log file saying "\\Column 7 - Invalid Dimension" What could be the reason for this? The outline already contains 5 standard dims (i.e. Customer, Period, Account, Scenario and Year) and 2 more attribute dims. My goal is to add some new members to the existing Account dim. My data file looks like this:
    Account,Metrics,,O,~
    Metrics, Avg_Wolverines_Juggled, Average Wolverines Juggled, S,~
    Metrics, Avg_Dropped_Wolverines, Average Dropped Wolverines, S,~
    Metrics,Headcount,,S,~
    In the data-prep editor I have created a .rul file that has 6 columns (fields). The first field I created by mistake, so I have set it to 'ignore field..' under 'dim build properties'. The next 5 fields map correctly to the way I have arranged my data file, i.e Parent0, Account Child0, Account Alias0, Account Property0, Account Property0, Account
    This .rul file validates correctly, but when I try to update the outline, I get the "\\Column 7 - Invalid Dimension" error log message. The log msg says that the data file contains an error, but may have partially loaded data. However, I don't see a SINGLE new member added to the outline..
    In terms of settings, everything under 'Dim Build Properties' seems fine. i.e. for each field the correct dim type (e.g. Parent, Child, Alias, or Property) and dim name (i.e. Account) is selected. However, under 'Dim Build Settings', when i try to choose 'Account' as the dim name, it reverts back to the name of the first dim in the outline (i.e. Customer) whenever I close/reopen 'Dim Build Settings' This happens even though I do a double-click and make sure 'Account' is shown in Blue before closing out of 'Dim Build Settings' Could this have something to do with the error I am getting? I have also made sure that the 'Build Method' is correct (i.e. Parent/Child references) for the two main dim fields. As per my understanding, for alias and properties fields, the Build Method doesn't matter.
    I apologize for the long question, but would really appreciate some help.
    thanks,
    Akshay

    Ah good old wolvering Juggling. The problem is they will bite you if you are not careful. (It's a nice metaphor for essbase). learning from Edwards book I see.
    your file looks like it only has five columns and you say you created a sixth column that you set to ignore. The message indicates there is a 7th column. Open your load rule and your data file and see if in fact there is a trailing column. Also, make sure you set the dimension build properties for the account dimension to be parent/child

  • 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.

  • Return tables in Routines used in an Update Rule

    I previously had a routine configured as an update method in an Update Rule.  On the configuration screen where I specified the Routine name, I checked "Return Table". 
    Now I've deleted this Routine and I am using the Source Key Figure as the Update Method.  However the "Return Table" box is still checked and if I uncheck it, it goes back to "Checked" status as soon as i scroll to the next key figure and then back to the original key figure. 
    While this doesnt sound like too serious a problem, I think it's causing my Update rules to fail during activation with the message, The field "RESULT" is unknown, but there is a fiel rows 1698."  (SAP typo, not mine).
    Following the suggestions in the Help for this error do not work either.  When I try to choose Extras -> Display Activated Program, I receive a second message "Unable to find a tool to process the request".
    Can anyone help?

    Wardell,
    sounds like a bug to me. Open a message to SAP support to get a fix.

  • Invalid Handle Error

    Is anyone who is current on NCF updates still seeing the Invalid Handle error or is having any other difficulties when opening either the Log Viewer or Auto Update?
    You're current if your aupdhist.log file has an entry for "New package dated 02.26.2004 [ID=20040226_1142] "
    We've closed this defect as it seemed to get fixed with the changes we made in Update 1 that allow you to limit the log file size. Was kind of a "free" bug fix, if you will. Got resolved accidentally. ;) But I just wanted to poll the room and make sure everyone's ok on this issue.
    Thanks,
