Background documentation InfoPackages for Repeated Upload  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Each time D&B provides new data, the master data for the InfoObjects DUNS Number (0DBDUNS_NUM) and Customer number (0CUSTOMER) require updating. If you are using a SAP CRM system, the InfoObject Business Partner (0BPARTNER) also requires updating. The data has also to be loaded into the MarketingCube. For this purpose the following files are sent from D&B:

The first time you get data from D&B, D&B provides these files in addition to the files required for initial upload.

For the InfoObjects 0CUSTOMER, 0BPARTNER and 0DBDUNS_NUM new InfoPackages are required. The D&B Marketing Cube (InfoSource 0DB_MKT_1) needs one new InfoPackage as well.

The parameters of the InfoPackages are described in the following tables. Create the InfoPackages with this information.
