Update rule changes do not take effect

Posted on Apr 21, 2004 at 03:47 PM 25 Views

Hello everyone,

we are running BW 3.0B with the current patch levels.

Whenever we change an update rule for the cube and reactivate it the system responds with a success message.

However during the next data loads (after deleting all data out of the cubes) the changes in the update rules do not take effect.

I have tried to create a new infopackage for the load --> same result.

The only fix i have found so far is deleting the update rules and recreating them, which is starting to become a lot of work.

Did anyone ever have this problem? Any ideas what could be happening?

Thanks

Stephan Engler

    Hi Stephan,

    I have faced the same problem as yours, did not find any elegant way to solve it.

    The crude way of deleting the update rule and recreating works.

    version: 3.0b.

    any cues are welcome.

    Thanks,

    Saket

    Can you provide a specific example of the change you make? Is it to the update rule or to the transfer rule?

    I don't know whether I am stating the obvious, but I always restart RSA1 transaction after making changes to Transfer or Update rules. I find (especially with transfer rules) that BW caches the program and restarting RSA1 forces the program buffer to be refreshed.

    I've not had to rebuild update rules to force a change in the update rules.

      So it is the transfer rules you are having a problem with. After making a change to the transfer rules, and activating, do you go back in and re-activate a 2nd time?

      Are you seeing this behavior in both Dev and Production, or just Production?

      The reason I ask about re-activating a 2nd time, is that I have had a similiar issue, and usually going in and just re-re-activating the transfer rules (no, I didn't stutter) does the trick.

      We are on 3.0B also, but only up to SP15.
