XML data load for master data

All,
Is it possible to load master data using XML datasource. If yes how. We are already using XML load for the transactional data. When we try for the Master data the option "create BW datasource with SOAP connection" is greyed out.
Thanks.

Hi,

Simple basic question on attribute data load for Master Data InfoObject....

Hi
I am a bit confused & wanted to have some clarification on the following:
1) For loading Attributes data to Master Data InfoObject, we load it through Data Source of Type Master Data Attribute.
But what i did, i created Data Source of type Transaction data and using the same Excel file, i was able to create transformation with Matser data Attribute and was able to load the data.
This shows i can use Data source of type either master data attribute OR Transaction Data doen't matter while loading into master data attribute. IS THIS TRUE?
2) I have 2 master data infoobjects (Test1 & Test2). I made Test2 as an attribute in Test1.
My question is while loading Master data for Test1, will it also load the data into Test2 if it doen't find respective data in Test2?
(i did all the transformation as per need.)
Waiting for your reply....
Thanks...

HI Harpal,
1. Did you make a transformation between attribute data source from source system other than flat file and DSO?...
I think PC File is flexible in this aspect..
2.While loading Test1 the infoobject Test2 will get loaded only if it is a navigational ttribute..(You can see this by refering the SID Table)
Please also note that it does not load Test2 attributes.

Rakesh.

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,

About delta loading for master data attribute

Hi all,
We have a master data attribute loading failed which is a delta loading. I have to fix this problem but I have two questions:
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
Thanks a lot

Hi...
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
Look.....for master data.....no need to delete request from the target..........just make the status red.......and repeat the load.....But problem is that master data sometimes does'nt support Repeat delta..........if u repeat......then load will again fail with Update mode R.........in that case u hav to do re-init.......
1) delete the init flag.......(In the IP scheduler >> in the top Scheduler tab >> Initialization option for source system)
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise .....init without data transfer.....if the last delta failed picking 0 records.......
3) then Delta.......
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
1) Make the QM status red.........to set back the init pointer.......
2) Repeat the load.....
After that.........if again load failed with Update mode R.....
1) delete the init flag.......
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise init without data transfer.....
3) then Delta.......

Transction data loading with master data as key?

Expert's,
I am trying to load the transction data with master data as a key.ZEMPID is my masterdata which having attributes ZEMPNAM and ZEMPDES .My transction data contains ZEMPID.ZEMPSAL and ZEMPAGE.I could create the master data and also load it successfully.But when I tried to create the infosource for trasctional data I should get all the attributes whatever I have given it for the ZEMPID.This I am not getting.Also While creating the cube if I select the infosource then in chraracterstic tab I am not getting my characterstics(master data+attribute).Please any one help me.

Hello Vasu
You are talkin abt transactional data and saying that not created cube/Ods ..
Let me put the things again
1. When you load master data you create infosource ( direct or indirect), All the attribute will be automatically comes in the infosource...when you define application component in master data tab in infoobject maintenance it is ready for data to be loaded. Search for application component in infosource..u will get the flow
2. When you load data in infocube only transactional data goes in it.....master data presents in master data tables...In infosource you define what are the field which need to be present in cube.......so you will be able to include only these objects which are present in cube dimensions + attribute which are defined navigational in the cube....
Master data attribute will never be pushed automatically....only componding object are pushed automatically.....
If you want to load attribute of ZEMPID then make them navigational in cube or add them in one of cubes dimension...
Hope i could make myself clear
Thanks

Unable to generate "Export data source" for Master data infoobject

Hi Gurus,
I'm in BW 3.5
I need to generate "Export data source" for a master data info object.
I followed below steps:
I ticked the checkbox "Characterist. is export data source" in the master data Info object maintenance screen.
In the Infosource area, for the desired Infoobject --> Right click --> Generate export datasource --> a dialog box displays saying "The generation of DataSource was successful"
Problem:
Even after refreshing, etc.. I couldn't find the generated datasource 8**** for the above master data. I also tried to replicate the datasource from the myself source system, but couldn't find it even there. I don't know where the generated export data source is hiding ???
Could anyone please help ????
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I guess that after creating an export datasource for infoobject this DS should appear in the RSA1-Source systems - MYSELF - datasource overview (with name starting with 8). Since it's a datamart, it should appear also as system generated infosource. And in this case you would be able to assign in URs of data target the appropriate infosource (make sure that in Infoproviders tab of RSA1 you have inserted your infoobject as a data target).
However, there are some bugs related to export data source. CHeck if you see you export data source in RSA6.
If you don't see it - consider applying OSS Note #816892 - "30BSP26: Export DS for master data is not generated".
Note #876845 - "30BSP29: InfoObject change: Export DataSource not adjusted" is also may be useful.

Data storage for Master data.

Hi
Would like to know what is the limit in terms of number of records a master data table can hold or should hold.
If there is a possibility that master data vol will increase very significantly then is it advisable to create an ODS to store the master data vol .....
Please advise
Kind Regards,
Kate

Dear Kate,
There is not really any limit for this. Since this is dependent on the database storage space. and especially for master data, it wont exceed as you think.
Thanks,

Initial Load for Master Data from R/3 to CRM

Hi Middleware Experts,
I have an ambiguity on initial load of enhanced master data from R/3 to CRM. The current situation is
1)I have already enhanced master data on R/3 side with some additional fields. Now shall i go ahead with standard intial load of these Master data to CRM without creating middleware interfaces to map those enhanced fields on CRM side?
2)Also after doing initial load from R/3 to CRM, if I develop middleware interfaces for mapping these new fields of master data and then again do the initial load, so that new fields also get mapped, will the initial load be done properly as i have already done it once? will it overwrite the previous initial load data on CRM side properly?
Please suggest whether it can be done or not and which is the better option.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Since you have not done the mapping yet the middleware will not bring those fields to CRM it will work just like a standard initial load without considering the enhanced master data field.
When you develop the middleware interface and enhance the CRM data structure also and then you can see the exchange of those fields through MW. You can start the intial load at that time also its not that you can do the initial load just once. But the better option would be that you avoid doing initial load several times because its time consuming activity. You do all the enhancement and then finally perform the initaial load.
<b>Allot points if my post helps!!</b>

Data loading on master data

Hello Guys,
I am thinking what would be the starting point to do data loading(master data) into SAP from legacy.I got the latest dump from legacy which got plenty of info on it...also I got the SAP data sheet from migration team as well. I am wondering whether I need to just send the SAP data sheet to business to fill it but again they dont know anything on SAP fields .So I thought let the users identify the equipments first which needs to be treated as a floc in SAP and put it in a seperate file by confirming floc level as well....Is this the right way ? or is there any other std procedures is available for data loading...I agree this varies from business to business but if someone could able to tell the exact approach, that will be great.
Mahee

a simple ( but you can standardize it) method would be the <a href="http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/En/70/93a417ecf411d296400000e82debf7/frameset.htm">excel upload</a>

Getting duplicate data records for master data

Hi All,
When the process chain for the master data, i am getting duplicate data records and , for that selected the options in Info package level under processing 1)a update PSA and subsequentky data targets and alternateely select the option Ignore double data records. But still the load was failing and error message "Duplicate Data Records" after that rhe sehuduled the Info package then i am not getting the error message next time,
Can any one help on this to resolve the issue.
Regrasd
KK

Yes, for the first option u can write a routine ,what is ur data target--> if it is a cube, there may be a chances of duplicate records because of the additive nature.if its a ODS then u can avoid this, bec only delta is going to be updated.
Regarding the time dependant attributes, its based on the date field.we have 4 types of slowly changing dimensions.

Data clean for master data

We've got a lots of obsolete material master, some are used for kinds of orders and some are never used (just created by mistake).
The functional consultant has set "mark for deletion" for those master data to prevent from being used again.
The problem is when end user create orders, they still can select those master data, when the process the order, they are told this master data is not useable. Our end user ask to make those master data disappear when they select.
Master data archiving is highly depend on application data archiving, we do not want to archive 10+ objects to delete just one kind of master data. Is there a simple a way to make the master data disappear when end user select it?

no there is no simple way.
if they were never in use, then you can archive right away.
if they are used in data, then this data has to be archived first, that is just the way it is.
you cannot expect to get the goods from ebay before you have won the bid.Everything has its logical order, just deleting data leaves inconsistencies in your system and I guess this is a bigger issue.
I actually would ask what is wrong that your users use materials that is marked for deletion.
Did you create duplicates and they do not know which one to use? Did you delete the wrong materials, materials that are still in stock and have still demand from the market?
The match codes can be amended (new match code, or making use of the user exit in the search helps) to hide materials that are marked for deletion.
Set the material and sales status to restrict the usage, see my blog: Material master deletion flag and blocking activities

Data loading for Logistics Data Extraction 2LIS_06_INV through setup tables

Hi Guyz,
I have LO Datasource 2LIS_06_INV which I am using for extracting Invoice Verification Data.
I had intialized and loaded invoice data in BI system and was using chais to load daily.
Now I want to load data again from scratch from source system.
As of now I know we need to delete and fill up setup tables in source system keeping the users locked so that no new records are created that particular moment.
But what about the delta queue and extraction queues.
Do I need to do something over there because as I understand there will be records in both of them so before filling the setup tables I need to delete both the queues and then fill the setup tables so that duplicate records should be avoided.
Please let me know what exactly should I do in detail.
Appreciated in advance.
Regards,
raps.

hi,
this entirely depends upon the DS, if the DS delta type supports overwrite mode then you need not lock the users, you can start the setup job without deleting the delta queues as well coz even if the record is extracted twice the values won't mess up as the flow will be in overwrite mode. If delta type of DS is Additive in table ROOSOURCE then you need to lock down the users or run the job over a weekend when no users are logged in.

Performing calculation on text data fields - for Master Data infoobjects

Gurus,
I've a MD InfoObject Z_Obj containing set of attributes - Z_Attr1, Z_Attr2 and Z_Attr3 , the data for this fields contains text ( of single character)
The requirement goes like this
Attribute     Value   Value to be displyed in the Report
Z_Attr1 -      Y                        A
Z_Attr1 -      N                    <Blank>
Z_Attr2 -      Y                         B
Z_Attr3 -      N                     <Blank>
Z_Attr4 -      Y                        C
Z_Attr5 -      N                     <Blank>
Without making use of any ABAP routine , What are the possible ways we can achieve this in Output.
Remember I want the validation of the fields at report level not at the ODS/DSO/MD InfoObject level.
Please do help me about the various possibilites.
Thanks in advance <removed by moderator>

Yaseen
Edited by: Siegfried Szameitat on Nov 7, 2008 9:15 AM

This can be done :
Create 3 formula variables of type replacement path.
While creating :
In the general tab, choose reference characteristic as Z_Obj.
In Replacement Path tab,
Replace variable with : Infoobject
Replace with            : Attribute value
In below drop down choose your attribute appropriately.
Now you can use this formula variables to create formula or CKF.
Hope this helps.

Issue with Data Extraction for Master data

Hi All,
I have requriment to enhance standard Datasource(0VENDOR_ATTR) to populate certain fields from table LFBK.
I have enhanced the datasource and the i am able to pull the data in ECC via RSA3.
After that i have replicated the Datasource in BI and have activated the Datasource and the enhanced fields are available in BI datasources and have created the transformation between Datasource and 0VENDOR.
when i run the infopackage, the new enhanced fields are not getting populated. I really wonder how the data is not coming to BI, when its is getting populated in RSA3 in ECC.
Request to give your solution to solve this issue.
Regards,
Gowrisankar

Hello Gowrisankar N K ,
After making changes to your 0VENDOR_ATTR DS, make sure that you had replicate DS at BI side.
if not then please first Replicate the DS & check the newly enhanced field is available in PSA.
