InfoPackages for Repeated Upload

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:


  • D&B Marketing Universe Matched Client File (0DB_IMPORTFILE_MU.csv)

  • D-U-N-S Text File (0DBDUNS_NUM_TEXT_MU.csv)

  • D&B Universe of Abstract Data (0DBDUNS_NUM_ABSTRACT_MU.csv)

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.

  • For the InfoObject 0DBDUNS_NUM you create four InfoPackages for the different data sources:
    • One for the text description (data source 0DBDUNS_NUM_TEXT)
    • Three for the master data upload (for each data source 0DBDUNS_NUM_ATTR, 0DBDUNS_NUM2_ATTR, 0DBDUNS_NUM3_ATTR).
  • For each of the InfoObjects 0CUSTOMER and 0BPARTNER and for the D&B Marketing Cube (InfoSource 0DB_MKT_1) you create one new InfoPackage.

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

InfoPackages 0DBDUNS_NUM_TEXT, 0DBDUNS_NUM_ATTR and 0DBDUNS_NUM3_ATTR
