transformations error

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am trying to create transformations from info source to info cube. System dynamically converted start routine.

But when checked it transformation, The objects that are reading from master data are returned with error.

i.e. COMP_CODE populated from 0EMPLOYEE master data. system define rule as read from info object 0EMPLOYEE and time dependency as 0CALMONTH.

The error system showing is

(target field: 0COMP_CODE group: 01 Standard Group): Time char. 0CALMONTH in rule unknown

My questions are

1. can i create transformations from info source to info cube? If so, How the data gets loaded i.e. from what source to what target? I presume source is infosource and target is info cube. if thats the case does the info pack brings data to info source?

2.whats difference between transformation that is created using data source and info source? What is the standard way?

3. why i am getting the above error?

any help greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Reddy.

Yes you can create transformations between IS and cube. Data passes thru the IS to cube but doesnt physically hold any data.

2.whats difference between transformation that is created using data source and info source? What is the standard way?

There is no difference between the transformations created between the DS and IS and DS and ODS. And there isnt any std way, as Infosource is optional and its ur call if you want to use t or not. Please search the forum for scenarios where to use infosource in 7.0

3. why i am getting the above error?

Check the mapping - rule details. If the assingnment is to read master data values.

Hi voodi,

Thanks for the reply. Third question: Yes, I have checked master data rule details its reading from 0EMPLOYEE master data, Why i am getting this time characteristic error. There is no errors with routines.

Any help greatly appreciated.

What is 0CALMONTH mapped to? Do you have that time char in ur datatarget?

Hi Voodi,

0CALMONTH mapping is direct assignment to 0CALMONTH.
