Using Master Data attribute and compounded IO in Transformation

Good day
I have the following issue in a transformation.
I want to u201CRead Master Datau201D from IO u2018ZSIDCONTRu2019 to display data for an attribute u201CContract Durationu201D (Key Figure).
IO u2018ZSIDVEHCNu2019 is also compounded to master data IO u2018ZSIDCONTRu2019.
The Source field of Rule = field u201CID_CONTACTu201D
In my transformation my Rule Type = Read Master Data and the u201CFrom Attrib. ofu201D field = ZSIDCONTR and the IO Assignment is also = u2018ZSIDCONTRu2019.
If I test this rule then the following error message is displayed:
Characteristic ZSIDVEHCN compounded to ZSIDCONTR is missing in
transformation source
How do I add the compounded characteristic ZSIDVEHCN to the transformation rule?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You should add the InfoObject ZSIDVEHCN to your target and define a mapping rule to fill it up from your datasource.
Only when both objects are available in your mapping you will be able to perform a master data selection (since they are compounded).
If this object is not available in your source, you should define a mapping rule to fill it up (constant? ...)
Hope this helps.

Using master data attribute in BEx Query u0096 formula

Hello,
I want to use the master data attribute (Eg. Customer master 0CUSTOMER, 0ALTITUDE (Geo Location Height)) in query formula calculation. How do I do this?
Please help me.
Thank you
Subbu

Hi Subramaniam,
You can definately use the master data attributes in the formula calculation if that is a numeric value (logically u can use a characteristic in formula).
for e.g Net weight from 0MATERIAL can be used through formula variable in formula but Color is a characteristic and there is no point in using that in a formula.

Can't assign an infoobject using master data attribute of

I've added in 0purch_group to my cube and I want to assign it using the master data attribute selection but it doesn't bring back anything to choose from. the attribute is 0mat_plant_purch_group and I've made it navigational. any ideas?

So do you say that you dont have mat_plant included in ur cube.
Then what are trying to get into the field with out a source field. How do you want to fill the value if you dont have mat_plant - i mean which of 100 values of matplant and attribute values should be populated.

How to use Master Data Attribute of in Update Rule's Formula

Hi experts.
In update rule, there is an option to use Master Data Attribute of. However, due to user requirement, I need to use that in Formula instead.
Field to update:
Profit Center
Logic:
If Cost Center is empty
Then Profit Center
Else
Master Data Attribute of Cost Center
I use the following formula at the moment but it is not 100% correct.
IF( Cost Center = '', Profit Center, Cost Center )
Appreciate if anyone could help me out.
Thanks!

Hi,
The easier thing to do will be to use a Update Routine.
Logic will be as follows :-
If Cost center iss initial.
Result = Profit Center
else.
result = Cost center.
endif.

Using "Master Data Attribute of" in the Update Rule

Hi,
In my update rule of, i want to replace the master data attribute of my characteristic instead of using its source characteristic. For example. InfoObject ZSTORECODE has an attribute ZSTORENAME. My objective is to use the Store Name instead of a Store Code.
I initially thought of using "Master Data Attribute of" in the update rules. However, I always end of with having an error of "No Values."

Hope you guys can help me with this!

Modelling 1:N relationships using Master Data

Hello All,
I was trying to store the Bill of Material data in BW and was confused as to how model this as master data. The bill of material is basically a BOM number with a number of components in it. i.e. a 1:N relationship between the BOM and the components.
I was thinking of modelling this by compounding the Component (which has quite a number of attributes) with the BOM.
But practically the scenario is such that, today the BOM contains certain components, but someone can delete a component later in R3. I want this information to be reflected as well in BW, but i suppose BW will not take care of this in the above compounding technique.
What is the best way to model such a scenario in BW. Is there a trick or is the only way to do this is do some checking in the update routines and then delete from the master data tables.
Please let me know your opinions.
Best Regards,
Dabre

Hello All,
Does anyone have a similar kind of experience in modelling a 1:N kind of relationship using master data ? And where the N values could change or be deleted ?
Please share your experiences.

Dabre

Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

Hi BI Experts,
Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as ,
and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
(LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
now i used to rsa1old transaction to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for IOSP_Mat
now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
Thanks,
Srijith

apologies to all of you for late response,
was busy with some other activities.
I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
Thanks again for your quick response.
Once again sorry to all of you for my late response
Thanks,

Can routine replace "master data attribute of" update rule for performance?

Hi all,
We are working on CRM-BW data modeling, We have to look up agent master data for agent level and position for each transaction data. So now we are using "Master data attribute of" update rule. Can we use routine instead of "Master data Attribute of" ? Will it improve the loading performance? Since we have to load 1 lack transaction records , where as we have 20,000 agent details in agent master data.My understanding is, for each record in data package the system has to go to master data table and bring the agent details & store in cubes. Say one agent created 10 transactions, then this option "master data attribute of" will read the agent master data 10 times even though we are going to pull same details for all 10 transactions from master data. if we use routine, we can pull the agent details& storing in internal table removing all duplicates and in update routine we can read the internal table.
Will this way improve performance?
let me know if you need further info?
Thanks in advance.
Arun Thangaraj

Hi,
your thinking is absolutely right!
I don't recommend to use the standard attribute derivation since it will perform a SELECT to the database for EACH record.
Better implement a sorted table in your start routine; fill it with SELECT <fields> FROM <master_data_table> FOR ALL ENTRIES OF datapak WHERE OBJVERS = 'A' etc...
In your routine perform a READ itab ... BINARY SEARCH.... I believe that you won't be able to go faster...
hope this helps...

Master data, attributes, texts: ETL process

Hi,
I am new to SAP BW and have a question concerning the difference between master data attributes and texts. I am currently learning with the "sflight" example provided by SAP. There I have, e.g., a table like this:
CARRID CARRNAME          CURRCODE
AA      American Airline   USD
AB      Air Berlin         EUR
AC      Air Canada         CAD
These are my master data because these data won't change often - correct?
What are then my attributes and texts?
Thanks!

Thanks Choudhary.
I am Karthik, new to both, the community and SAP BI. I have a doubt similar to the main question, that goes like this.
CARRID CARRNAME          CURRCODE   TIME             COUNTRIES_OPERATION
AA          American Airline     USD               9:00 AM       America
AB          Air Berlin                EUR             10:00 AM       Germany
AC          Air Canada             CAD             11:00 AM       Canada
Similar to the above table, if suppose there are two other columns TIME and COUNTRIES_OPERATION,
1. Will TIME be included as "attributes" or "time characteristics" as TIME is an additional information of the master data key and there is dimension table where we can define TIME ?
2. Will COUNTRIES_OPERATION be included as "attributes" or can this be included in "hierarchy"
3. If not what can be used into "hierarchy" from the above table.
Kindly excuse if my question is silly or if it does not make sense. I am very new to these terms and still in the learning curve.
Thanking you in advance,
Karthik.

Master Data Attributes issue in BEx

Hi Everyone,
I have loaded Master Data Attributes and Texts for 0customer. 0Customer has one Display attribute. I add this into the Bex Query Designer.But the data for the display Attribute(SORT1) is not displayed in the Analyzer. I have maintained everything correctly. The Baclkend BI system has Data for the display attribute.
Do we require to do any additional settings in Query Designer for the dat ato be shown when we drag the display attribute into Query Designer Panel. I have maintained the Display settings correctly in Query Designer
Please Advise.
Regards,
Samir

Hi,
are you able to See no data in Field of Attribute(SORT1) or are you not able to see field Attribute(SORT1) in report?
if you are not able to see field Attribute(SORT1) in report, right click on 0Customer, select property and go to attribute tab. select Attribute(SORT1) from left to right. click ok. you will get field Attribute(SORT1) in report.
you are not able to See no data in Field of Attribute(SORT1). activate master data after maintaning master data and chech value is availble in attribute (SORT1)

Master Data Text and Attributes

Guys,
I read some posts on sdn regarding differences between master data texts and attributes and now I am a little confused. I thought attributes define a char. then what does text do? Does it not define or describe the char as well? If both are doing the same thing then why do we need both ? I am not sure if my understanding is correct. Please help me.
Thanks,
RG

Hi Ram,
To understand in a better way little bit of R/3 work would have been helpful.
In R/3 Every entity has master data maintained like customer, material, plant etc.
If you would see a customer in R/3 you can see it has lots of information..like address,telephone number,street company name, etc.
And along with it we have customer name...i.e. description..(text)
Now in R/3...text tables are generally maintained separately then master data tables...it can be together as well.
Something like for you Ram Goswami is descrption(text) for the user ID XXXXXXX in SDN.
Email ID and company name is the master data stored here for him.
BW has used the same modelling concept to keep the text table separate from the msater data table.
It creates to separate data target for master data and text so that two seperate tables can be maintained in BW and you have to load the data in both to see the master as well as text.
Since we have separate master data table and text table in R/3 therefore we have separate data sources as well based on them.
You would like to have you master data table exactly as the master data table of R/3 so you will add attributes in the infoobject 0customer and it will create a P table for 0customer...keep adding attributes to make the columns in the table and to make the exact copy of R/3 table i.e. to bring all the information from R/3 about customer master you add attributes in the 0customer.The data soiurce based on this table in R/3 will contain the fields from the table.
Now you do the mappings with fields between infoobject and data source and load the data ...so master data is loaded.
For text...once you check the text option in infoobject..SAP creates a new table Tcustomer in the background..
Now you have to do the mappings for this as well through the data source based on the text table in R/3.
In some cases the master data table contains text as well and in that case you use the same data source based on this table to create two separate update rules one for master data object and another one for text object and do the mappings accordingly.
In this case you schedule the load to both the target at the same time and data gets loaded.
but for different data sources you will have to schedule the load separately.
Once data loaded for this...now you can use it in the report and see the text as well as master data attributes in the reports and there values.
I hope that was more then enough
Thanks
Ajeet

Abt master data activation and attribute change run

There is any difference between master data activation and attribute change run

Hi,
Master data activation is activating the master data once you extract the data from source system the data will be in inactive state, so in order to make the data available we will activate the master data.
Attribute change run :Its used to update the newly changed master data records to the Hierachies and aggregates.
If you are already using the available master data in aggregates in InfoCubes, you cannot activate the master data individually. In this case we will use attribute change run.
For attribute change run we have direct tcode: RSATTR or In the main menu, choose the path Tools Hierarchy/Attribute Change.

KP
