Updating marketing attributes from BW

Hi anyone!
We're using the Analysis Process Designer in BW for updating marketing attributes in CRM. We face two problems:
1. When updating an attribute with several values (have set the multiple value indicator in the transaction maintain attributes) BW only updates one attribute value. The second value overwrites the first one.
2. When using currency as data type for the attribute value we get an error in BW when we start the process of updating the marketing attributes.
Have any of you faced the same issue???
Regards Camilla

Hello,
we have a scenerio where in we have to transfer data from BW to CRM (Campaign from BW to CRM) and presently we are on BI 7.0 and CRM 5.0.
Please can any one of you provide how to guide or steps if Customization required in BW and CRM side.
One of the method is using APD, but here also i am new..can any one have tried??
Thanks in Advance..

Update Marketing attributes in Interactive Scripting

Hi All,
I would like to know if anyone knows how to :
1. Display multi value fields in Interactive Scripting 5.2
In standard IS editor, there is a dynamic answer "Marketing Attribute 5.1". We need to create new ones. What it the process ?
2. Update Marketing Attributes (or any other multi value fields) in IS. In addition to that, IS Editor in 5.2 don't have "ABAP Call" and "RFC ABAP Call" type actions in the repository, where 4.0 comes with these types. I would like to make a RFC call to R/3 from IS, and display the returned value in the IS.
Thank you,
Vadim Boriskevich.

Hello Mike,
Yes, You have to clearly define what type of marketing attribute it is. i mean whether person or organization.
It is not possible to use marketing attributes which are valid for persons AND organizations for survey.
For eg. If the marketing attribute is of type person(you can see this in the trx Crmd_prof_templ) and the BP is of type Organisation then it wont work for you.
In this case either change the attributes to Organization type ,reattach them in the survey suite and then try.
If you have attribute of person type then the BP should be of the same type.Actually in the code there is a string which matches from both the sides.So in case of any mismatch the updation would not be there.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks

Update market attribute for BP

Dear expert, i need to update market attribute of bp in CRM.
At the moment i'm using function module CRM_MKTBP_ASSIGN_ATTRIBUT_TAB to create/update the attribute.
It works fine but there is a problem when I try to update the field ATWRT (characteristic value) on an attribute that already exist. For example if I have:
OBJEK
000000000000000058
ATINN
0000000034
ATWRT
N
and I want to update in :
OBJEK
000000000000000058
ATINN
0000000034
ATWRT
Y
This doesn't work. I found another function to do it, CRM_MKTBP_UPDATE_ATTR_BP, but I don't know if I can use it instead to use CRM_MKTBP_ASSIGN_ATTRIBUT_TAB .
Anybody already found this problem ?
Davide

ok, thanks, and do you know if in case i want to delete an attribute from bp exist another function module ?

Migration of Marketing Attributes from other system

Hi,
We want to migrate the Marketing Attributes from non-SAP CRM system into SAP CRM system.
But the concern is if some of the customers have visited our website and changed some attributes, like hobbies or job position, the new attributes will be there in CRM system.
The problem is in that case if we migrate the attributes from non SAP system, then will these migrated attributes overwrite the exisitng CRM attributes for the same BPs? If yes, what is the way out so that we don't lose the new attributes of the BPs and also migrate the attributes from another system into CRM.
Regards
Monica

Hello Naren,
Can't you use Legacy System Migration Workbench(LSMW) for your requirement?
Please refer below link or help.sap.com to know more about LSMW:

Update marketing attributes and send mBDoc BUPA_MAIN

Hi,
When I update marketing attributes in CRM there are three mBDocs sent into queues (MKTPROF_MSG and CHARVAL_MSG) and also BUPA_MAIN .
I'd like to know if sending BUPA_MAIN is an standard SAP solution or not.
If it's not where can I find how it's work (configuration, sap note)
Thank's in advance
Robert

Hi Robert,
As of the relationship beteween the three bdoc, it has been coded as of SAP is concerned. As any change in Marketing attribute has to be reflected in BP so that no inconsistency occurs.
You can obviously stop generation of one of the mbdocs, but the generation will not be conditionally stoped, but it will be stop permanently.

External lists for updating marketing attributes

Hi,
I'm now working in CRM 3.1, but we're going to upgrade for 5.0 in the autumn. In this relation I'm working on a pre-project where I'm looking for the possibilities for using external lists for updating marketing attributes on existing BPs. How can I map this fields? Do I use advanced mapping fields or structure enhancement using appended fields?
Thanks, Camilla

Camilla,
Yes, this function become standard for CRM 5.0. CRM5.0 ELM provide different format types for create BPs (with marketing attributes), activities and leads. You need to define different format type when you create mapping format. For updating marketing attributes, you need to choose type "Business Partner" type so that all the marketing attributes will be available for you to pick to create the mapping format.
You can look at the CRM5.0 release note and document for more details

Transporting "Marketing Attributes" from Dev to Quality

Hi Folks
Can anyone tell me how can I transport my marketing attributes from Development System to Quality to Production Environment ?
I have my TRMS set up. But since Marketing Attributes don't get assigned to any TR I am finding it difficult to port them.
Regards
Vishal Mani

Hi Gregor,
CRMD_MKT_TOOLS works fine to move the Marketing Set/Attributes form one box to another box (eg: dev -> qty), as part of data migration - my ABAPer wrote the ABAP function to default the Marketing Attributes in dev. based on SAP number(s) generated in dev. (eg: S0000000129) but these number are not the same in another box (qty) as they are system generated. When we moved his code to qty. data migration is failed. My question is - what is the best approach or logic to deal with such situations

Update marketing attribute and customer master data via Survey Response

Hi,
I am creating a marketing survey. I have come to a point where I am able to get the reponses posted by the business partners.
Now I would like to update the BP's directly when they respond. The challenge here is I want to update both Marketing attribute and Customer master.
Is this possible with standard function modules. I am using version 4.0. Please let me know.

Af:inputListOfValues: updating all attributes from 'List return values'

Hi all,
In my ViewObject, I have one LOV enabled Transient attribute (in order to display content meaningfull for the end user)
In the List return values, I have one extra return value, which updates the real foreign key attribute
When user launches LOV popup and chooses one of the vaules, both of my attributes from the List return values are updates properly
However, when the user entered value directly (so, does not launch LOV popup), then the real foreign key attribute has not been set
What to do in order to set foreign key attribute in both cases ?
Maybe with one valueChangeListener and autoSubmit enabled ?
Any idea ?
P.S. Off topic : Seems thas password finder for my OTN account does not work, is there any way to "unite" my posts from my old account with this new one ?
Edited by: user11208293 on May 28, 2009 8:49 AM

Ok. It seems that no solution for this problem, so end user cannot directly enter the value in the af:inputListOfValues (into transient View attrbibute), since there no way to update the real foreign key value. The only option is to enable LOV not for transient, meaningfull attribute, but for f.k. attribute (which does not mean nothing for end user)
What you doing in this situation ?
Should I discard af:inputListOfValues ?
P.S. just to note : LOV Autocompletion, as described in the Steve Muench atricle :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/09-jan/o19frame.html
works only if user presses Tab button (after entering value in the LOV filed).
It does not work if user directly enter into LOV field, and then press some command button by the mouse

Marketing Attributes not updating in BP through Suvery

Hi friends,
I m working in CRM 5.0, i want to update marketing attribute of BP using survey response, i have created survey which include marketing attributes, in survey setting i have maintained
Callback to PBO CRM_MKTBP_SVY_ATTRIBUTE_PBO
Callback to PAI CRM_MKTBP_SVY_ATTRIBUTE_PAI
further i have generated survey url using BSP option, next i have assign this survey url to mail form, Customers/BPs can open the mail and able to fill the survey successfully, but when i checked in master data of BP no marketing attributes are assign to them(Marketing attributes are not updating).
Please help me to resolve this,do i will have to add marketing attribute anywhere in FM code ?? i have also read sap note : 638320 but no success.
Thanks,
Vivan

Hello together,
I would like to describe my own problem with updating Marketing Attributes in a Business Partner via a CRM Survey.
Currently I am working with SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1. The Survey is maintained in SAP Survey Suite in the Application "Marketing".
Furthermore I am using the following function modules:
Callback to PBO CRM_MKTBP_SVY_ATTRIBUTE_PBO
Callback to PAI CRM_MKTBP_SVY_ATTRIBUTE_PAI
The Marketing Attributes should be updated within a Contact. This contact have assigned the role "Internet User". Behind this role I have defined my CRM User name.
For testing the Attribute update I have generated an URL with BSP. Afterwards I opened this URL and logged in with my CRM User name. After filling in the survey and submitting no business partner were updated. It seems that the "conversion" from my CRM User to the CRM contact doesn't work. I think there could be a problem with the PBO and PAI modules. Because the functionality "Evaluation" within the Survey Suite shows a number of evaluated questionnaires and answers after submitting my survey.
So my questions:
Are the mentioned PBO and PAI modules up to date? (Last change date was in 2005)
Is the Application "Marketing" within the SAP Survey Suite the correct one?
I would be glad if anyone could give me tip for my problem. Thanks a lot and best regards,
Oliver

How to add new marketing attribute to the existing marketing attribute set?

Hi all,
I searched for existing forums but I didn't find the required one. I found some using Tcodes ,which is not my requirement. My requirement is to add new marketing attribute to the already existing marketing attribute set. This attribute set is created by my team lead with 4 attributes but now i have to add new attribute to this set so total will become 5 attributes for this attribute set. This has to be done through marketing professional business role. If this is not done through marketing attribute set, then I will go for the transaction where I can add marketing attribute for attribute set.
Please send the details of both marketing professional business role and transaction code.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
