InfoPackages for Initial Upload

Together with the first D&B data files you also receive some D&B files containing customer-independent information. These files need to be uploaded only once. To prepare the upload process you create the required InfoPackages.

The following table shows the files you get from D&B for the initial upload. For each file you create one InfoPackage. In the right column you see the InfoObjects to which the new InfoPackages belong.

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
