Master data load to Dimension

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to load master data from BW to BPC for Account Dimension. I have few questions.

1. While loading the data, do i need to mandatory set the selections for the BW Info object?

I loaded the data without setting the selections. I got 0 records.

But, when I load the data with selections in the SET SELECTION, I was able to load the data.

SET SELECTION:

Master data loaded successfully.

2. While debugging the transformation file, the structure of START ROUTINE AND END ROUTINE is the same.

Is this correct or am I doing something wrong? As in BW transformations, Start routine will have the structure of SOURCE  and End Routine will have the structure of the TARGET.

Hi Selva,

I agree with Khokan on 1st point and coming to second point just don't compare BW and BPC Transformations.

from sap Help/Documentation :

The START_ROUTINE is called after the data has been read from the source, and before the transformation or conversion file logic is applied to it.

The END_ROUTINE is called after all processing has been done, and just before the data is committed to the database.

Main reason is that START_ROUTINE and END_ROUTINE are implemented with same interface IF_UJD_ROUTINE(by same Enhancement spot UJD_ROUTINE) and they are differentiated only by mentioning explicitly like below.

START_ROUTINE = <BADI_IMPL_NAME>

END_ROUTINE = <BADI_IMPL_NAME>

So both START_ROUTINE and END_ROUTINE will have same structure in BPC.

Hi Selvakumar,

For your 1^st question my answer is No, When you load the master data and attributes from BW info object it consist lot of attributes and it’s not possible to load entire attributes at a time,so without set selection it’s not possible to load the master data and attributes.The purpose of the set selection option is lot. The master data can be filtered by values or by hierarchy selection and it can be combined AND or OR relationships. The set selection is filter criteria where user can select specific attributes for import. Key date selection is also use when reading time-dependent source master data and texts.
