ODS Activation

[Former Member]

I'm having problems activating data in ODS after uploading from a flat file. After switching the light to green, I right clicked on ODS and selected Activate ODS Data. I chose the request number, made sure selection was immediate and clicked start. It said that the job was scheduled but activation didnt occurr.

Whats going on??

Hi Fran,

As usual, to make sure that your job has not been cancelled you can look at dumps and sys log in ST22 and SM21.

fran,

You would be able to find out in the detail section. Or what you can do is go to the monitor section , and wait out one cycle so that the error is shown at the end after maybe 5 hours or so , do the activation last thing before you leave for home and then you will have your answer the next day!!!

Hi Fran,

The last time we had a similar problem was due to some characteristics containing some special characters in the data.

If you look at the job log in detail it will surely be pointing to the characteristic..

Let me know..

fran ,

try setting the automatically set QM status to green and automatically activate data checkboxes and then load , it will clearly show the errors / issues.

Hi Fran,

Maybe there were too many background jobs running at that time. You could try now.

Alternatively, you could change the settings in your ODS to activate the data immediately after the load.

ODS -> Settings -> Check the "Activate ODS Object Data automatically" checkbox.

Bye
