BW: Connect to new source system via special transport

Hello everyone!
I have a BW system connected to an R/3 source system. I have made a copy of the source system. Now I want all my models to be connected to both source systems. I heard that this can be achieved via special transport (i.e. place all source system dependant objects into a special transport request to be imported back into my BW system, but with the new source system assignment). Does anyone have any documentation on how to do this?
Best Regards and Merry Xmas!
Luís Andrade.

Hi Luis,
There are two parts,
1) If you want to transport all your objects from current R/3 system to newly created r/3 system then you can create a TR and use it in SCC4 transaction during client copy. In the same fashion you can use RSA1---> transport connection and use the TR for system copy. After that once you release this TR all the objects will move from one system to another.
2) But if you have already moved all the objects in source system but now you want them to replicate in BI then go to SAP BI system select your source system and then from the context menu choose replicate datsources option, it will fetch everything from respective source system in BI.

Durgesh.

Connecting MSSQL as new source system

Dear all,
We want to connect a MSSQL server as a new source system in SAP BW 7.0.
Does anybody has a good "How to..." Paper which helps to connect MSSQL step by step to SAP BW?
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Daniel

Follow the below mentioned steps to create a dbconnect source system.
1. Goto RSA1 -> Source systems. Right click and Create
2. Give some name and description and hit enter
3. a. Con Name : Any name (SQLSRV, etc)
b. DBMS : MSS
c. UserName : Any username which is present in the SQL Server. Eg: SA.
If you have to use Windows Authentication, there is a seperate method :
For windows authentication, you will have to add your Admin login of BI Server to the SQL Server Security logins group (For Eg: If BI Server name is BID and the admin login for this server is BIDADM, you need to add BIDADM to Logins/Users group of SQL Server and also for the specific database).
d. Password : Anything.
e. Con Env : MSSQL_SERVER=<sql server name> MSSQL_DBNAME=<database name> OBJECT_SOURCE= DBO.
For Example:
MSSQL_SERVER=ps14apollo MSSQL_DBNAME=PROJECTSERVER_REPORTING OBJECT_SOURCE=DBO
Here ps14apollo is my SQL Server name. Similarly ProjectServer_Reporting is my database name. DBO should be the Object_Source for most of the SQL Server dbs. I think it should work in your case as well.
f. DB RECO = select or let it remain unselected.
g & h Max Connections & OPT Connections = 0, for unlimited connections.

Creating new Source system problem

Hi there,
System: BW 3.5 client 010, want to connect to R/3 4.6c Sandbox client 0101
we just refreshed our BW 3.5 sandbox with current production data. Now we want to create the source system via RSA1 to point to R/3 Sandbox. When we try to create this we get this new error. I am not sure why it is
Error:
Logical system BIX010 exists already
Message no. R3222
Diagnosis
The SAP Business Information Warehouse BIX010 is already connected to the source system. A multiple connection is not possible.
For some reason, it is reading as BIX010(talking to the system itself) - BW Sandbox systems, it should be doing the source system creation for SBX010 not BIX010 (talking to the system itself)
I tried to create the system manually and automatically, still no luck.
I cannot see SBX010 source system in teh RSA1, I am afraid it might be in the database table and not showing up in the transaction RSA1, does anyone know the table that it has this information, so I can se16 and look at the entries?
Does anyone knows where to look for?
Thanks in Advance
Kumar

Goto SM50 and check for ABAP connections. Look for SBX010. If you don'T find it here you have to create it. Check also BIX010 if it'S connected to the right system.

Migrate Dataservices source system to new source system type in BW 7.3

Hi All,
We have upgraded our BW system to 7.3. In our old 7.0 environment we have linked Data Services 4.0 as an external source system. Now in BW7.3 we would like to migrate the developments on the old source system to the new source system type.
Does anyone know if there is any migration tool which we can use for this?
Best regards,
F. Geldof

Hi Valerie,
Unfortunately i didn't find the answer yet. For the moment we have kept the old connection types to our DS environment.
Good luck!
Best regards,

Connecting R/3 Source system to BW

Hello,
I need to connect a BW dev system to R/3 Dev system (ECC 5.0)
I would appreciate if anybody could give me the detailed steps involved...
are there any plug ins which have to downloaded ??

Kamal,
RSA1 --> Source Systems --> Right click on the top of the tree and select new source system
Give the R/3 server along with a suer ID and password in the R/3 system. Lower portion has the password of ALEREMOTE in the BW system.
Follow the instructions from there on. Select activate and replicate.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/80/1a618ae07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
With ECC 5.0, you shouldn't need any plug-in.

New Source System Client for BW

Hi All,
Currently we have R/3 QAS Clint 102 connected to BW QAS. We want to get rid of this Client 102 and connect a new QAS Client 100 (same server but different Client) to BW QAS. I created a new Source System (QAS100) in BW QAS and did a restore.
My question: How do I get all the Source system dependent Objects like InfoSurces, InfoPackages etc for the new Client 100 in BW QAS? Please help me and I promse to generously reward points.
Thanks, very much in advance.

Hi A.H.P,
I am pretty sure this will resolve the issue. I will come back again and reward 10 points once we apply a working solution.
Thank you for a quick reply.

Add new source system to BI

Hello,
Our requirement is to load data from a different R3 client to which we dont have a connection yet.
The idea is to create a new connection but keep the existing one.
Is there any automated tool to do this? We would like to avoid the manual creation of all infosources and transformations from the new source system, but to copy them from the existing one.
We found that there is a tool for replacing the current source system with another one (BDLS), but we just want to create this new one in paralel with the current source.
Thanks!!

Hi,
what you can do is, create a transport request containing all source system related things like the infosource/datasource assignment, transfer rules... and import that transport back into your dev system. Before the import you should maintain the settings for source system after transport accordingly.

Creating New Source System

Hi All,
I am trying to create a new source system in BW for the new R/3 client which is a copy of PRD.
So now new R/3 client is 200 and also PRD is 200. I did all necessary steps and i found difficulty when i am assigning logical system based on client. I found key is only client, so as PRD system is already mentioned with client 200 i am not able to create new entries and i hope this causing me error.
So by creating RFC destination directly in SM59 and when i tried to create it says PRD Client already available. Though i have specified new client server name.
Kindly advise.
This is quite urgent.
Thank You.
Best regards,
Bhuvana.

hi,
it seems rfc connection between bw and r/3 not established properly, check with transaction sm59 (ask basis help if no authorization), choose r/3 source system rfc and menu test->authorization. check if user name and password, hostname/ip address are correct.
this doc 'bw r/3 connectivity' may useful http://help.sap.com/bp_biv235/BI_EN/BBLibrary/documentation/B84_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc
hope this helps.

New source system - same BI system - time estimate

Hello,
The project management of my current project has decided to create a new ECC QA system as copy from existing ECC QA with no data. The BI QA system will remain as it is.
How much work will this create for us in order to re-map the transfer structures in BI to the new system. Will I be able to use the same info sources (off course with new source system)? Any more work needs to be done?
We have about 8 info cubes including stock, sales, purchasing, PCA, loading data via 15 info sources + all masterdata..
Is this a quick and easy fix or a time consuming task?
Regards,
F C

Hello,
Yes, I agree. Just needed a second opinion! Thanks! This is a fresh installation so the amounts of data are quite small..
It should be possible to use the same info sources with some modification on source system and that's it.
Agree?

New Source System Issue

Hi
We are trying to connect new Source System to BW. It is ECC 5.0.
When I try to activate the Source System, it generates the following error:
<b>EDI: Partner profile not available
Entry in inbound table not found
Entry in outbound table not found
Entry in outbound table not found</b>
I checked WE20, it looks good. This is very similar to the current R/3 System (4.6). I was able to REPLICATE the DATASOURCE with no issues.
Can you please let me know, how this could be resolved.

GPK.

Hi Guru's
The OSS note mentioned was a good one. I did check that OSS to ensure we were on track. There was no loop hole i got in regards to this issue.
I cannot say why it worked for me but I could tell what I did.
1. Deleted the source system, I creted.
2. Created the Source System back again.
3. It worked, but the only difference I noted was that, the icon of the source system is like the BW and not like the r/3 icon. I don't know WHY??
Thank you all for your support and advices.

Steps for creating new source system

Hi guys
We are on BI 7 and ECC 6 now...We are planning to get the data from other source systems (R/3 4.6)which are existed in different place.
Now my question is what are the steps to get the data from this new Source system and whats BI developer role for this...
Example: Inorder to establish the connection between BI and R/3 we need an RFC connection (Is this done by BASIS / BI )? If its BI , then what do I need to ask for ?
afterthat what are all the questions or points that I need to raise to the folks in the meeting...
Please advice
regards

Hi
refer to this link below
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ac/4a4e38493e4774e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
Exactly this will be taken up by BASIS team so that at any time if we have any issues with RFCs like RFC connection failure we will not get any data to our targets.
Then we have to raise ticket to basis stating this failure

Change Default Background User In BW When Creating New Source System

Hi all,
I would like to create a new Source System in RSA1.
In Source Systems > SAP > Create > Connection of source system to BW
the Default background user in BW is u201CALEREMOTEu201D.
How do I change this to another user?

Just want to say thank you. I could fix a problem with your information.
I was searching to change the background user from ALEREMOTE to BWREMOTE as all our process chains were running on ALEREMOTE.

Activating transfer rules for new source system

Hi
we are having 2 R/3 source system in BI. I had activated all the transfer rules with the first source system and now i have created a new source sytem connecting to a different R/3 client. I tried to change the transfer rules point to the new source system using the program RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL giving the new source system and the infosource name. But i get the error "No Transfer Structure Selected" when i execute the prg.
how can i change the source system without creating the transfer rules for the new source but use the existing transfer rules and just change the source system assigned to it????
Regards
Sujai

Hi Sujai,
There are many cases when this program is used.
When the Trans rules get de-activated due to impact,we need to first replicate the data source and activate the TR using this program.This generally occurs during the data loads in prd.
It does not makes sense to transport it when there r no changes done to the TR.So simply,u can use this program to activate.
If the program does not work,then you are left with the transport option.
Thanks & Regards,
