ASAP Data Migration / Data Conversion / Data Transfer Templates

Hi,
I'm looking for the ASAP Data Migration / Data Conversion / Data Transfer Templates that used to be available in ASAP.
Some time I ago, and I believe it was on this site and can no longer find it, I found a zip file which contained the above .xls template to manage all the data conversions on a project. Also included was the data mapping template .xls
Many thanks.

What is PMS Data Migration Experience and Data Migration Scripts preparatio

Hi All what is PMS Data Migration Experience and Data Migration Scripts preparation
why we use these in HRMS(EBS)

Pl provide a link to where you got these terms from.
"PMS Data Migration Experience" is not an EBS term - most likely a vendor or third-party phrase/tool/software.
"Data Migration" in HRMS (and other EBS modules) typically refers to the process of moving data from a legacy system to EBS during the process of going-live with EBS.

HELP ME ON DATA MIGRATION PLEASE

Hi
what is SAP data migration what kind of tools and techniques include in that and also please what are the roles and responsibilities include in that when we are working on project.(RELATED TO ABAP)

Data Migration Current Situation
Data migration or data conversion is a persistent issue facing most organizations who have implemented SAP. Whether it is during the final phases of a new SAP implementation, during SAP upgrades and updates, during corporate restructurings, or during mergers and acquisitions, data migration continues to remain a challenging problem for IT.
Most data migration projects are faced with a time and budget crunch. But, these projects usually require extensive support from programmers and other technical experts and therefore data migration projects tend to get expensive and time-consuming.
The tools for data transfer and data migration provided by SAP are very technical and have a steep learning curve associated with them and they require technical experts to build and implement the data migration scripts.
Data Migration Ideal Scenario
An ideal data migration scenario would let the data migration project be implemented by the end user departments themselves. A few super-users within these end-user departments that supply the data should have the ability to transfer and migrate data themselves without relying on technical experts. Such a scenario would significantly cut the time and effort required in a data migration project.
Reaching such an ideal scenario would require data migration tools that are easy to learn and require no programming. Furthermore, these tools should work across all the different SAP modules and the SAP products, including the different versions of SAP.
Data Migration
Data Migration is the process of moving required (and most often very large) volumes of data from our clients existing systems to new systems. Existing systems can be anything from custom-built IT infrastructures to spreadsheets and standalone databases.
Data Migration encompasses all the necessary steps to cleanse, correct and move the data into the new system *. Technological changes, change in providers, software updates or data warehousing / data mining projects make such delicate and critical operations necessary.
<b>Data Migration can be done using BDC, LSMW, BAPI, Idoc's.</b>
What is the difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC?
Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
Differences between bdc session method and call transaction method.
The most important aspects of the batch session interface are: - Asynchronous processing - Transfers data for multiple transactions - Synchronous database update During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database. - A batch input processing log is generated for each session - Sessions cannot be generated in parallel
The most important aspects of the CALL TRANSACTION USING interface are: - Synchronous processing - Transfers data for a single transaction - Synchronous and asynchronous database updating both possible The program specifies which kind of updating is desired. - Separate LUW for the transaction The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement. - No batch input processing log is generated.

Data migration methods

Hi experts. I am working on a study for a data migration project where data from multiple legacy systems would be moved into SAP. Apart from LSMW and BDC, what are the other useful methods when the data migration involves huge volumes of upload data?

Hi,
Obviously the answer depends to a certain extent on the circumstances of your project (complexity of data, volume, etc) and on the object in question, but here are a few rules of thumb.
If you are new to this I would stay away from IDOCs and BAPIs as the set up is often a little complicated and if there are errors the problem is often not too easy to identify. And IDOC processing is not always as quick as people assume. For example, the customer master IDOC is processed in the background by a call transaction of XD01.
For you I would suggest definitely using LSMW, and where possible within LSMW use the standard uploads. There will be situations where the standard upload does not cover everything (again using customers as an example, it will not include the extended address data or the long texts) but I would still use the standard upload to load as much as you can, and then write a couple of simple update BDC recordings (XD02, XK02, etc) to add what's missing.
Some examples of the standard upload programs are:
Customers - RFBIDE00
Vendors - RFBIKE00
Materials - RMDATIND
All finance transactions - RFBIBL00
Fixed assets - RAALTD01
The standard uploads are normally well documented; they often use BDC (not RMDATIND) so are quite transparent; and they are generally pretty flexible.
There are a few standard uploads which are not so good, such as the sales order load, and to a lesser extent the purchase order load. In these cases you might need to look at using the BAPIs but get help from someone who has used them before.
You might want to use recordings for very simple loads like bank master.
If migrating SAP to SAP, where possible you would look to transfer master data via ALE using IDOCs. But again you need to know what you are doing and it sounds like you are moving from a non-SAP to a SAP system anyway.
Good luck,
Ben

Treasury Data Migration

Friends,
One of our client has decided to use SAP Treasury and Risk Management. I have been asked to lead data migration within this area. For the same, I would like to know the generally used and needed master and transaction data for SAP Treasury Management. Also, let me know the various ways of migrating data into SAP TRM eg. BAPI's, Transaction Manager, LSMW etc.
Regards,
Amey

Hello Amey,
Please find list of steps which might be helpful for data migration.
Legacy Data Transfer
1. Legacy data
transfer always happens on a key date.
2. The procedure is
different for securities and OTC because they deal differently with positions
on a key date.
3. For securities, we
simply need to copy the positions with all values as of the key date.
4. For OTC, the
entire transaction is copied as there is no explicit position management in the
transaction manager.
Customizing the Legacy Data Transfer:
You primarily need
customizing for the update types that the flows of the legacy data transfer
business transactions are to carry. We can find the settings under Treasury and
Risk Management à Transaction Management à General Settings à Tools à Legacy
Data Transfer à Flow Data à Update Types.
The update types are
divided into those for valuation area independent & dependent. The
independent one only relates to securities. à While the legacy data transfer is
usually not intended to update the general ledger, nevertheless you must mark
most of the update types as posting relevant and maintain an account
determination in customizing. This is necessary to ensure that the data in the position
management is complete and in particular the account assignment reference
transfers can be performed correctly.
Legacy Data Transfer for OTC:
Step
1: Existing OTC transactions enter the same way as new transactions.
Enter either manually (or) use existing BAPIs to import them. BAPIs list à Use
BAPI_FTR_FD_CREATE & BAPI_FTR_FXT_CREATE
for creating FD & FOREX transactions respectively. Similarly there are many
BAPIs for each product and we can get the list of BAPIs in BAPI transaction code
under the node Financials à Financial Supply Chain management. Use FTR_BAPI
Transaction to test run the Treasury BAPIs.We may define separate transaction
type for legacy transactions so that settlement (or) posting release is not
necessary.
Step 2: Now we must change status of all the historical flows
created in Step 1 to POSTED without actually generating accounting document. To do this we will use transaction TBB1_LC.
This is similar to transaction TBB1. Unlike TBB1, TBB1_LC affects all the valuation areas without giving an option to affect only operational area. We can see the posted flows by TBB1_LC in posting journal (TPM20) without any reference to accounting documents.
Step 3: Till now the historical flows do not yet explain the book value of OTC transactions. Hence we must first enter the historical valuation results. This is done using TPM63C which you can find under path Treasury and Risk Management à Transaction Management à General.Settings à Tools à Legacy
Data Transfer à Flow Data à Enter Valuation Area Dependant Data for MM.After entering the
valuation results use TPM63 to transfer values to Internal Position Management.
Legacy Data Transfer for Futures & Listed Options:
Step 1: Similar to OTC
Step 2: Similar to OTC
Step 3: Use transaction TPM63D (Valuation area dependant data for futures). We must establish the relationship between lot & the transaction on which it is based via the transaction number.
Legacy Data Transfer for Securities:
For securities position, it does not matter whether is arose in the past through a single purchase (or) a series of business transactions. The legacy data transfer thus seeks to build up the positions through One Business Transaction on the transfer key date.
Step 1: Before we enter business transactions, we must first create the master data of security position i.e. their Position Indicator. I) Use TPM61A (or) menu path Treasury and Risk Management Transaction
Management à General Settings Tools à Legacy Data Transfer à Position Data Enter Position Information for Securities
II) Now create the position indicator using TPM61.
Step 2: Now we will enter the business transaction.
I) Valuation area independent data for securities à For External Position
II) Valuation area dependant data for securities à For Internal Position Nevertheless, we need to use transaction set the effects of update type on position to change the positions. If you want to enter LOT Positions with the transactions of legacy data transfer, use the Item Number. Ensure that business transaction generating the position and the one for valuation results carry the same item number.
If you have built up
lots via normal procedures, you must specify the corresponding transaction number
when entering the valuation area dependant business transaction in the
transaction column.
Step 3: Now generate the business transactions using TPM63.We can initially build only valuation area independent data (external position) by checking “only valuation area independent data” button in TPM63. The external position can be checked in securities account cash flow i.e. external securities position in TPM40.
Also we created LSMW for each product.

Jain

Conversion date

Hi,
I created the Info query used 6 tables i.e. ANLA, ANLB, ANLC, ANLZ, ANEP and ANEK. The issue is some assets is showing the conversion data i.e. 05/31/2009 and some assets is given current date (if the asset posted any retirement / additions / transfers u2013 the same date is updated in the query), but business asking the original date i.e. conversion date (05/31/2010) for converted / old assets.
The goal of this table view and query set is to pull the entire asset base including converted, new adds, and new retirements to a certain point in time or period end. But, we found that it was not pulling converted assets because of the linkage of data between 6 different tables.
There are two assets (130049 & 174068, both with sub 0). Iu2019ve made notes for each line of data in column u201CAu201D. 674068 seem to work perfectly as there is a posting row for the asset from conversion, a new $50 Addition, then the retirement. 630049 is where we are having a problem as the data query is not pulling the original conversion row that I would expect to see for Rs.109.84. Whatu2019s interesting is when I retired total asset (including new adds) it retired the new adds and the converted amount. What is preventing us from pulling the conversion data row in our view or query set?
I have data sets due to tax in the very near future (already put them off quite a bit). If you could help us look at this issue at your earliest convenience I would really appreciate it
Thanks in Advance,
C Babu

And both java.sql.date and java.sql.Timestamp inherit
from java.util.Date, so you can just cast to go back.Although you almost never need to. The only case would be to force a different signature to be called:
void foo(java.util.Date dateOrTimestampThingy) {} // 1
void foo(java.sql.Timestamp dateOrTimestampThingy) {} // 2
Timestamp ts = ...
foo(ts); // calls #2
foo((java.util.Date)ts); // calls #1

HR Payroll Data Migration from 4.6C to ECC Upgrade

Hi
We are going to Upgrade our 4.6c R/3 system which includes HR to ECC6.
After this upgrade we going to start the Data migration of all data inclduing HR payroll from 4.6c to ECC.
1).Can anybody advise what are the options for loading Payroll data from 46c to ECC ..? After Payroll data migration we must be able to see all the Payroll results from the previous system.
2) is there any standard programs availble for Payroll data migration ..?
Also if anybody have any info/links on Payroll/HR data migration please help to advise.
Thanks a lot for your info/Time.,
Edited by: Dp on Apr 3, 2008 11:41 PM

Hi Somar,
I could not find the mentioned post "HR Upgrade". Please let me know the details of the "HR Upgrade" details which need to be kept in mind during upgrading R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0
Yes, we have got the list of "Modification Objects" using the SPAU. Please confirm that during our upgrade, we just need to work on these objects which were changed/repaired by us according to our business need.
And, apart from that, please let me know should I need to worry about any OSS notes specific to 4.7, which is not applied to our system and got released after the ECC 6.0 Enhancement Release 3.
I understand that if we have a system that has the Patch and SP level as in our production system and do the upgrade to ECC 6.0 all the HR functionalities will be automatically taken care. Please confirm.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Vijay

Legacy Data Migration - question on conversion

Hello All,
We are trying to build a generic tool which could help the conversion process in data migration.
For eg, If the material name in legacy starts with AB (AB6790), the same has to be referred in SAP as SQ6790.
So its replacing initial few characters during the conversion process.
Like this, I am expected to collect possible scenarios and
develop a generic tool, which can cover some possible conversion conditions.
Can you please help me with such scenarios, which you may have come across in project needs.
Thank you.
Meenakshi

Rahul,
I strongly suggest you do a search in the CRM General & Framework Forum on this topic. If you are looking for specific objects to migrate there are several posts on the major data elements in crm (transactions, business partners, products).
In general the technique is to use the LSMW combined with the XIF-IDOC adapter to convert data into the CRM system.
My blog here will explain the general process:

Validation rules applied to data migration templates at import

Hi everyone!
First post here for me, so please bear with me if I missed something.
My company has just started the initial implementation of ByDesign. We come from a set of disparate and partially home-grown systems that we outgrew a few years ago.
As part of this initial phase, we are basically re-creating the data on customers, suppliers, etc. since none of our existing systems makes a good source, unfortunately. We will be using the XML templates provided by ByDesign itself to import the relevant data.
It has become clear that ByDesign applies validation rules on fields like postal codes (zip codes), states (for some countries), and other fields.
It would be really helpful if we could get access to the rules that are applied at import time, so that we can format the data correctly in advance, rather than having to play "trial and error" at import time. For example, if you import address data, the first time it finds a postal code in the Netherlands which is formatted as "1234AB", it will tell you that "there needs to a space in the 5th position, because it expects the format to be "1234 AB". At that point, you stop the import, go back to the template to fix all the Dutch postal codes, and try the import again, only to run into the next validation issue.
We work with a couple of very experienced German consultants to help us implement ByDesign, and I have put this question to them, but they are unaware of a documented set of validation rules for ByDesign. Which is why I ask the question here.
So just to be very celar on what we are looking for: the data validation/formatting rules that ByDesign enforces at the time the XML data migration templates are imported.
Any help would be appreciated!
Best regards,
Eelco

Hello Eelco,
welcome to the SAP ByDesign Community Network!
The checks performed on postal codes are country specific, and represent pretty much the information that you would find in places like e.g. the "Postal Codes" page in Wikipedia.
I recommend to start with small files of 50-100 records that are assembled of a representative set of different records, in order to collect the validation rules that need reactions based on your data in an efficient way. Only once you have caught these generic data issues, I would proceed to larger files.
Personnaly I prefer to capture such generic work items on my list, then fix the small sample file immediately by editing, and do an immediate resimulation of the entire file, so that I can drill deeper and collect more generic issues of my data sample. Only after a while when I have harvested all learnings that were in my sample file, I would then apply the collected learnings to my actual data and create a new file - still not too large, in order to use my time efficiently.
Best regards
Michael
