STEPS TO LOAD MASTER DATA


 

SAP Accepts data in two formats only CSV AND ASCII

In this scenario we are loading master data, where our source system is a Flat file, as the data is coming from Flat file in CSV format

Note:    Save the below given extract. When you are saving the data in flat file it should be saved as .CSV and type of file CSV. 
































EID

LANGU

STXT

MTXT

LTXT

E001

EN

ADMINISTRATOR



IT ADMINISTRATOR



IT RETAIL ADMINISTRATOR 



E002

There are two types of data: 

Transaction data:             The data which changes frequently

Master data:                      The data which does not changes frequently

Master data is further classified into three types:

  1. Text

  2. Attributes

  3. Hierarchies


Texts are further classified in to




  1. Short texts

  2. Medium texts

  3. Long texts


Attributes are further classified in to




  1. Display attributes

  2. Navigation attributes.


Hierarchies are defined with




  1. Roots

  2. Nodes

  3. Levels

  4. Basic characteristics values


 

 

 

  1. Go to Infoprovider and create the Inforarea MANUDATALOADING


 



 

2.     Now Go to Infoobjects and find the Infoprovider with the name MANUDATALOADING

3.     Create InfoObject Catalouge for Characters and KeyFigures and activate them

 

 



 

Below given picture is when the Infoobjects catalogue are created.



 

4.     Now create an INFOOBJECT of the name MANUEMP, check it and activate it.

 



 

5.     As in this scenario we are loading master data texts for EMPLOYEE ID  that means our Infoprovider type will be Infoobjects bearing master data characteristics i.e. (MANUEMP)

Note: Infoproviders are superordinate term of an object that are specifically used only for reporting and analysis purposes we have following types of infoproviders (DATA TARGET/DATA DESTINATION)

  1. INFOOBJECT BEARING MASTER DATA CHARACTERSTICS 

  2. INFOCUBE 

  3. DATASTORE OBJECT 

  4. INFOSET 

  5. MULTIPROVIDER 

  6. AGGREGATION LEVEL



6.     Right click Infoobjects (MANUEMP) ,  change go to tab master data texts  and make sure you check the short texts, medium texts, long texts, and  texts are language dependent.  Check it and activate it.

7.     Create  Infoprovider: In this case our infoprovider is MANUEMP ( INFOOBEJCT BEARING MASTERDATA CHARACTERSTICS )

8.     GO TO INFOAREA (MANUDATALOADING) RIGHT CLICK  AND CHOOSE INSERT CHARACTERSTICS AS INFOPROVIDER input your  technical name of infoobject (MANUEMP) here in this scenario it is employee id technical name



9.     Now Go to infosources and create an application component (ADEMPLOYIDAPPCOMP). Application component is a place to organise infosources

 



 



 

10.     Right click the application component (ADEMPLOYIDAPPCOMP) and then create infosource (ADEMPLOYIDINFOSRC) on that application component. In INFOSOURCE the name of the Infoobjects must match the infoobjects to load. Input all the objects in the same sequence as flat file structure and check it and activate it.

 



 

 

11.     Now click on source systems (ADEMPLOYIDSS), right click on flat files create source system. Specify LOGICSYSTEM ANAME(technical  name)  AND SOURCE SYSTEM NAME(DESCRIPTION)  and TYPE AND RELEASE (CHOOSE ORACLE) AND RIGHT CLICK  check and activate it

12.     DOUBLE CLICK ON THE SOURCE SYSTEM, WHICH WILL TAKE YOU TO THE DATASOURCES OR CAN FOLLOW BELOWSTEPS

13.     When you scroll down you can find your application component and then right click on that create datasource and in that you can specify in general info all the descriptions.  GO TO THE EXTRACTION TAB, choose adapter type : that data  is coming in text format from local work station, then in that file name attach your flat file and no of rows to be ignored is  1 AND DATA FORMAT  CHOOSE CSV, DATA SPERATOR CHOOSE(,). THEN GO TO PROPOSAL CLICK ON LOAD EXAMPLE DATA

 



 

 

 



 

 



 

14.     NOW GO TO FIELDS CHOOSE NO AND INPUT ALL THE OBJECS IN THE SAME SEQUENCE OF FLAT FILE AND GO T O PREVIEW   AND CHECK AND ACTIVATE AND CLICK ON PREVIEW TO SEE DATA.

 



 

Now from this point onwards, we will create transformations and load the master data

15.     Go to datasource and right click on datasource, choose create transformation make sure you specify source as datasource (ADEMPLOYIDDS) and target as infosources (ADEMPLOYIDINFOSRC). Check and activate transformation.

16.     Go to infosources (ADEMPLOYIDINFOSRC) and right click on infosources, choose create transformations make sure you specify source as infosources and target as infoprovider i.e.  MANUEMP

17.     Go to datasource, right click create infopackage (ADEMPLOYID INFOPACKAGE) and load the data to PSA, same like datasource steps and you can see data in PSA by clicking top monitor button.

EXTRACTON TAB FOLLOW THE SAME STEPS AS DATASOURCE


PROCESSIG (NOTHING TO DO)


UPDATE FULL UPDATE


SCHEDULE- CLICK ON START DATA LOAD


Once data has been loaded in to PSA you can see bottom of the page data was requested. On the top of the screen you can see monitor symbol. Click on that and you can see data has been loaded successfully in to PSA


If the request is green then data load is successful, Red means failed and yellow means it is still in staging process then click on refresh button until you see red or green.


Monitor tab has been divided Header, status and details


Header: all the information about data load


Status: all the stages of loads


Details:  all the IDOCS


On the top of the screen you can find a button called PSA maintenance. Then you can see the data in PSA.


 

 



 

18.     Go to datasource right click create DTP to bring the data from PSA to infoprovider make sure it is full or delta and check it and activate it    click one execute button to bring the data to infoprovider. Once you click on execute button, system will prompt you to display monitor screen, Click on yes , which will take you to the monitor screen

Note: Every data load will have unique request id ex: 3656


THEN CHECK DATA LOAD IS SUCCESFULL


Click on top you can find data target administrator, the highlight request id and object name .click on contents. Click on execute button twice.
