How to Write a Start Routine in Update Rules:
Introduction:
How to write a Start Routine in Update Rules. Here I taken one example i.e., needs to delete the unwanted
data in Start Routine of Update Rules based on Customer number.
Live Scenario:
We are loading the data to InfoCube, the Source system is Flat File (the logic, code and execution is same
for even any SAP Source systems also) and we need to delete the unwanted records/data in Update rules at
the time of data loads based on some Customer numbers.
InfoCube Details:
See the below screens, which will give the details of the InfoCube ZIC_DEMO2.

2011 SAP AG 4
Note: I taken ZIC_DEMO2 InfoCube, which is having just simple Transfer rules and Update Rules (in BW 3.5)
Create Start Routine:
Click on Create Start Routine like below.

It opens the below code window.

2011 SAP AG 5

Code before Start Routine:

PROGRAM UPDATE_ROUTINE.

* to make monitor entries

* if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.

*$*$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line *-*
*
ENDFORM.

2011 SAP AG 6
Code After Start Routine:
Write the below code in code window, here I written Customer is equal to 000000C100 or C100, because
0CUSTOMER length is 10 and so if record will come with or without leading zeros the code will work.

PROGRAM UPDATE_ROUTINE.
* TABLES: ...
* DATA: ...

* The follow definition is new in the BW3.x
TYPES:

***Start Rt, Begin****Surendra Kumar Reddy Koduru*******

DATA: WA_DATA_PACKAGE LIKE DATA_PACKAGE,

LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE INTO WA_DATA_PACKAGE.

CLEAR ZINDEX.

ZINDEX = SY-TABIX.

If WA_DATA_PACKAGE-CUSTOMER = '000000C100' OR
WA_DATA_PACKAGE-CUSTOMER = 'C100' OR
WA_DATA_PACKAGE-CUSTOMER = '000000C101' OR
WA_DATA_PACKAGE-CUSTOMER = 'C103'.

DELETE DATA_PACKAGE INDEX ZINDEX.

CONTINUE.
ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

***Start Rt, End******Surendra Kumar Reddy Koduru*******

* if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.

After that Check the Syntax then Save, and come back.

In above screen, you can fine the message called No Syntax Errors Found.
So our code is correct and now we can Save, Activate the Update Rules.

2011 SAP AG 9

Data Loading:
After activation, load the data form Flat File.

2011 SAP AG 10
Monitor the Data Load:
After Load, go to Monitor, see the below screen.

See the number of records; in Flat file we have only Five records, so it is displaying only Five records.

2011 SAP AG 11
Click on Header Tab and then click on Termination if records occur, see below screen.

It opens the detailed window about the status of records updating, see below screen, totally we have 5
records in Flat file and 5 sent and 5 received, PSA got 5 records, but finally updated only One record in
InfoCube, because Start Routine in Update rules worked properly.

2011 SAP AG 12

Request Details:
See the Request in InfoCube using Manage

In above screen, we can find One request with 5 Transferred and 1 Added records.
2011 SAP AG 13
Display Data in InfoCube:
See the Data In the InfoCube using Display Data

See one single record which is Customer = C104, other records are deleted.
Data in PSA :

2011 SAP AG 14
Data in Source Flat File:

How to Debug the Start Routine in Update Rules:
Change Start Routine:
Click on Change Start Routine like below.

It opens the below code window like below, keep break point i.e. BREAK-POINT.
2011 SAP AG 15

2011 SAP AG 16
Data Loading:
InfoPackage Settings:

See the above screen, Open the InfoPackage and then go to Processing Tab and then choose Only PSA.
The reason is after PSA Load we will load the data into InfoCube, in between we will debug the Start
Routine.
After PSA Settings then open Schedule tab and then Start Data Loading.

2011 SAP AG 17


In addition that you can see the Process Manually, because we loaded up to PSA.

2011 SAP AG 18
Manual Update/Simulation:
Open Details Tab and select the Data Package 1 and right Click and Choose Simulate Update.

Select the Activate Debugging in Update Rules, because we written Start Routine in Update Rules and click
on Perform Simulation button.

2011 SAP AG 19

Debugger Window:
It opens the debugging window like below.

Press F7, till it will reach our Code.
Our Code:
See our code and BREAK-POINT, from now onwards press F5, it will go line by line.

2011 SAP AG 20
Data Package:
Double click on DATA_PACKAGE, it will come and appear in Right side, see below screen.

Double click on Small Icon before DATA_PACKAGE in right side, it will show the actual Data in that Data
Package like below.

Click on Desktop1 tab and then press F5, it will debug line by line.
2011 SAP AG 21

We have 5 records in Flat File, so it deleted all 4 records which will satisfy our Condition in Start Routine and
the rest of the records i.e. only one will appear in DATA PACKAGE, see below screen.

Then press F8.

Close the above window it will display the details of the records updated. After that Load data manually from
PSA to InfoCube then see the Request/Data in InfoCube.

After that Check the Syntax then Save, and come back.
So our code is correct and now we can Save, Activate the Transformations.

Data Loading:
We are working in BI 7.X, so there are only Transformations in between DataSource and InfoSource (in this
example). So in BI 7.X once you create Transformations and DTP, InfoPackage is only used to load the data
up to PSA, after that we need to use DTP (to load the data from PSA to Data Targets).
In below InfoPackage, see the Processing Tab and Data Targets Tab.

2011 SAP AG 32

2011 SAP AG 33


2011 SAP AG 34
See the above screen, the data is loaded only up to PSA, from there we need to execute DTP to load the
data into InfoCube.

2011 SAP AG 35

2011 SAP AG 36
Request Details:
See the Request in InfoCube using Manage.

In above screen, we can find One request with 5 Transferred and 1 Added records.

2011 SAP AG 37
Display Data in InfoCube:
See the Data In the InfoCube using Display Data

See one single record which is Customer = C104, other records are deleted.

How to Debug Start Routine in Transformations:
Introduction:
How to Debug the Start Routine in Transformations, before this article you please reads/go through the
content called How to Write a Start Routine in Transformations. Here I taken one example i.e., needs to
delete the unwanted data in Start Routine of Transformations based on Customer number and we will debug
the same
Live Scenario:
for even any SAP Source systems also) and we need to delete the unwanted records/data in
Transformations at the time of data loads based on some Customer numbers. So in scenario we will how to
debug the start routine Transformations.
Change Start Routine:
Click on Change Start Routine like below.

2011 SAP AG 39
It opens the below code window like below, keep break point i.e. BREAK-POINT.

In above screen, you can see the code that we written in How to write Start Routine in
Transformations. Check the Syntax Check, Save and Activate the Transformations.

2011 SAP AG 40

Data Loading:
InfoPackage Settings:
We are working in BI 7.X, so there are only Transformations in between DataSource and InfoSource (in this
example). So in BI 7.X once you create Transformations and DTP, InfoPackage is only used to load the data
up to PSA, after that we need to use DTP (to load the data from PSA to Data Targets).
In below InfoPackage, see the Processing Tab and Data Targets Tab.

2011 SAP AG 41
After PSA Settings then open Schedule tab and then Start Data Loading.


2011 SAP AG 42
See the number of records; in Flat file we have only five records, so it is displaying only five records.

DTP and Settings for Debug:
See the above screen, the data is loaded only up to PSA, from there we need to execute DTP to load the
data into InfoCube.
Here we are trying to Debug the Start Routine, so we need to set some settings in DTP, right click on DTP
and select Change and go to Execute Tab give Processing Mode is equal to Serially in the Dialog Process
(for Debugging).
2011 SAP AG 43

2011 SAP AG 44

After above settings to DTP, then simulate.

Once you click on Simulate button then it will open the Debug screen, and it will go to our Code there we put
BREAK-POINT, then press F5 for line by line debug.
2011 SAP AG 45
Debugger Window:

Press F5 till the Break Point indicator cross the line ZINDEX = SY-TABIX, after that double click on
SOURCE_PACKAGE, it will show in Right Side under Variable. See the below screen.

2011 SAP AG 46
Double click on SOURCE_PACKAGE , and then see the original data in that.

Then click on Desktop 1 and then Press F5 for 3 to 4 times and then again see the data in
SOURCE_PACKAGE.
First record is deleted, because it satisfied our condition in Start Routine i.e. Customer = C100, so it is
deleted.

So like that you click on Desktop 1 and then press F5, till it completes the 5 cycles i.e. it need to come out
from Loop condition. After 4
th
Cycle , if you see the data in SOURCE_PACKAGE, you can find only one
record.

2011 SAP AG 47

After that Press F8 it will come out from Debug and show the below screen, in this way we can debug.

After the above Simulation, you remove the BREAK-POINT in Start Routine, Save and Activate the
Transformations.
And Execute the DTP, it will load the data to InfoCube and then check the Request and Data in InfoCube.
