Can BW be a source system

like R/3,flat files, any 3rd part database ..is it possible that ,BW can be used  as its own source system.

Yes, of course.
Using datamarts BW is already it's own source system.
(Look in infosource at Data Marts)
Loading from ODS to ODS or Cube.
But also a Cube can be a datasource. (right mouse click --> generate Exprot datasource)
BW can even be a source system for a different BW-system.

  • Link between SAP BW and SAP R/3 (Source System)

    Dear all,
    I want to create a source system connecting BW to Sap R/3.
    I have, I think, correctly fill the different fields.
    But I have an issue regarding activation of this source system.
    I can not activate the source system, I have the following error message : Result of the destination check: Client 602 is not available. Please choose an existing client RSAR 375.
    Is there someone who could help me to resolve this issue.
    Best Regards,
    Gregory

    Seems that client 602 does not exist.
    Are you sure that client 602 exist in R/3 system?
    If it does then check if you are pointing to the right R/3 system, otherwise provide a valid client number.
    Hope it helps,

  • Error while source system creation/Source system transport

    Hi,
         In our BW implementation, the system landscape is only 2 servers. One is BW Dev, another is BW Prd. All configurations are done in BW Dev and I extracted the data from QAS for this BW Dev system.
         Since we can’t create the source systems in the BW Production system, I tried to create the source system for the SAP R3 Production system in BW Dev and trying to transport this to BW Production Instance.
         I have two queries.
    1.  Is this way is correct for creating the Source System for BW Production system?
    2. When I tried to activate the source system I am getting the following error messages. (I tested the RFC Destinations. There is no problem, I also done the configurations for logical system creation and client assignment in both the systems).
    Error in source system GWPCLNT900
         Message no. RSAR502
    Diagnosis
         With Remote Function Call to system GWPCLNT900 error connection closed
         (no data)  ccurred.
    Procedure
         Remove the cause of the error.
    When tried again I got the following error message
    Basic type ZSBB030 doesn’t exist. EA 447
    Result of the destination check: Timeout RSAR 375.
    Could anyone throw some light on these errors?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    you need to maintain the logical systems on both R/3 and BW. You also need to set up the RFC connection with users that can log in to the other system. The R/3 system must be open for customizing in scc4.
    In transaction se03 the system change options for 'Business Information Warehouse: SAP Namespace' and 'Business Information Warehouse: Customer Namespace' may need to be modifiable. I am not completely sure about this.
    The last thing I will mention is that I have seen source system creation fail when the RFC-users are system users, and the source system creation worked if the RFC-users was display user while creating the source system. The RFC-users must be changed back to system user later...
    Please look at best practice documents on a more step-by-step guide...
    Best regards,

  • Assignment of Source System in quality after transport

    Hi Experts,
    We have implemented the Inventory management standard flow in Development,
    Now to tell you, we have multiple landscape over here,
    Depending on the project, and the fesiblility for the client, the tranport layer is been decided,
    But for sure we have multiple source system,
    By multiple source system, i mean not the other components like R/3, SRM or APO,
    but for R/3 itself we have multiple boxes at each layer,
    Now when transported to quality,
    the standard objects are reflecting after few errors corrected and re transports,
    But the source system which it has picked for the BF BX and UM datasource is not that i require according to the transports landing for the R/3 developments,
    AT DEVELOPMENT LAYER,
    BW development is GDA, which is having the source system connection to development R/3 (GD0),
    AT QUALITY
    We have BW as EQ3,
    For R/3 we have EQ0 and NR0,
    All the transports have reached in the respective target quality system,
    But the data sources are having source system connection to NR0 and not EQ0,
    I want it to be EQ0 as the data lies over there.
    How do i resolve this ?
    Thanks and should be appricated for your efforts in helping.

    Hi Daljeet,
    You should set the Source system Conversion option in Transport Connection before Transporting the objects to QA and PRD.
    You can do this using the button 'Conversion' next to the button 'Source System Assignment'. Here you can specify the Target source system name after the Transport.
    If you want to change all the assignments from NR0 to EQ0, this article will be helpful for you.

  • Deleting a Source System in BW Prod

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying to delete the assignment of R/3 Production as a Source system in BW Prod but the system is not letting me- informing that:
    Package ZBWD does not exist- choos display object or cancel.
    The reason I am doing this is at present the source system is assigned to Infoobject 0WBS_ELEMT but I want to assign the 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR & 0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT datasources to the 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR & 0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT InfoSources.  I would like to un-assign this datasource from 0WBS_ELEMT and assign to the InfoSources stated above. 
    I am trying to bring in WBS Element master data but found in Dev when I bring it in through the infoSources it is available in BW but through the 0WBS_ELEMT infoObject there is no data in the masterdata tables.
    How can I delete this source system assignment in BW Prod?
    Thanks
    Depesh

    hi Depesh,
    i think system won't let you delete source system assignment in prod if it's closed for modification
    (transaction scc4), if you really need to do this directly in prod, please ask basis open awhile,
    have you tried delete the source system assignment in dev and transport to prod ?
    regarding package zbwd not exist, check in prod if package zbwd exist,
    transaction se80, choose 'package', type in zbwd,
    it will display the package or ask to create new if not exist. transport package zbwd from bw dev if it's not exist in prod.
    hope this helps.

  • Read source system in start routine for BW 7.0

  • How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones

    How to design EDW for source systems from different Time-Zones?
    Suppose IT landscape has a global BW in New York, and source systems in americas, europe and asia, then how the time-zones effect on time related things like delta selections on date or timestamp etc.

    As you said BW is global in NY, your source system must be global too. People from various locations can connect to same source system and thus timestamps for delta is always maintained as 1 single time. We have same scenario in our project. Our R/3 system is used by users in US and Europe. So we run deltas twice in day to make sure we got deltas from both locations.
    If scenarios was such that all locations connect to separate R/3 system, then obviously you have multiple queues. That is unique delta queue for each source system so deltas will be pulled as per data in respective queues.

  • Configuring of a new source system in BW

    Hi Experts
    We have to set up a BW system,  which will have 2 source systems( ECC)  clients 550 and 590 of the same ECC ( ECC QUALITY). One client is already there and we have to configure another client of source system with the sane BW Client 350. I understand that the dataflow is partly different (e.g transfer rules and datasources are source system dependent). My question are
    1.     How we can configure a Source System on BW.
    2.     What changes if any I have to make in the existing system (BW)
    3.     What will happens to the Existing Data-sources ( Do I have to replicate each and every data-source of the existing ECC clients to New ECC client.)
    4.     Do I have to create New transfer and update rule for the new client
    Any other point Pl. advice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dinesh Sharma

    You can more than one source system to onw BW client.
    You have to use source system compounding to differentiate between characterstics values if you are loading to the same object. Otherwise you need to use separate characterstics for ex : Yxxxx object for one source system and Zxxxx object for another.
    Also the dataload timing should be setup properly. Otherwise it may leads to object locks.

  • New source system

    We've just copied the BW Production system onto a new server (Test BW).
    The BW Production is pointing to Production ECC6.
    We're have created a new RFC in the Test BW, which point to Test ECC system.
    We have also perform the source system conversion via BDLS.
    In RSA1 ->Source System, I can see name of the source system has been changed to Test ECC6.
    However, when I right click on Source System ->Connection Parameter, I can see that
    the Source System is still linked to the old RFC which is pointing to the Production ECC6.
    How can I change this RFC so that it is pointing to the new RFC that we just created?
    Please help, thank you.

    in the monitor screen, check the complete error message in status tab.you will find a button below the message, click on that to get the detailed message.
    then goto details and see in which step you are getting the error(extraction/processing etc).
    Or...
    in the menu , Environment ->job overview->Source System and then also it will take u to R/3 side .
    Check the job status...finished/cancelled etc.
    If cancelled, then reload .
    In any case, read the log what is getting displayed.
    1.Please replicate and activate the data source in bw side under the appropriate source system
    and then try loading.
    or
    2.In the processmonitor of the info package, (in details tab) when you right click on the red ststements and select displaying messages, there will be a question mark appearing at the right hand side.
    or
    3.check whether all the objects all active or not.
    4.check if data source is active on R/3 side or not...if no...activate the same.and reload.
    Is it happening for the first time...if yes...were there any transports on R/3 or BW containing these objects
    5.Also, goto BD87, in both R/3 and BW side...check if there are any idocs stuck...if yes...manually process them...
    6.Check in sm58 in R/3 or BW....if there are any entries there for this...if yes...select them and press F6...

  • Change Source system Tech.Name

    Production :   PRE -
    >  PRB
    PRE-Production    :   PPE -
    > PRE
    We make a copy of our production BI to Preproduction BI (PPB) we follow note # 886102. We want to connect this system to our pre production ERP (PPE).We already run BDLS change the logical system name we created new RFC created which is pointed to new R3 system .Problem is when we are going to run Tcode RSA1 in source system it shows old Tech name PRE600. We are unable to activate the source system.
    We can create new source system (PPE),but All our BI objects mapped with old source System (PRE600). I am afraid to change thousands of BI objects ( change source system from PRE600 to PPE600).
    Is there any work around we can change the Logical Source system Tech.Name? or some batch job which change the source system name for all BI objects.
    Appreciate your earliest reply.

  • BW Extractors Problem - Source System Is Incorrect

    Hello,
    I performed a homogeneous system copy of our BW system from our Production BW system to the Development BW system!
    But now I´m with a problem regarding the extractors... when I go to transaction RSA1, I was trying to replicate data in a BWD extractor but it gives me an error. The problem is the Source Client that is not correct, it points to our ERP Production system (P70 client 100) but it should be points to the ERP Test/Quality system (T70).
    When I try to perform a "Replicate Metada" it show me the following error:
    Error during the retrieval of the logon data stored in secure storage
    Can you help me please, how can I correct this situation?! How can I Change the Source System?
    Thank you,
    samid raif

    HI Samid,
    Please have a look at SAP Note 886102 - System Landscape Copy for SAP NetWeaver BW. I think that Scenario B3 is relevant in your situation. Apparently some of the actions are not executed, e.g. Step 6.7 (rename of logical system using t/code BDLS).
    Also note that nowadays there is Post-Copy Automation (PCA). Please refer to 1707321 - BW System Copy: Post Copy Automation (BW-PCA).

  • How to change source system in process chain

    Hi All,
    In our Bw quality system, process chain is pointing to the Production system ,
    I want to keep the process variant name same as production but want to change the source system
    For example.. let us say currently process chains(All DTPs) are pointing to the Production server (PD001) ip (200.12.23.22)
    now i want to keep the Server name same but want to point it to the quality system..so after change Process chain will show same name but it should point out to quality system.(let us say bwq 200.12.23.232).
    Can you please help me on this

    Hi Pravender,
    In our BW system , we have same process chain in all the system (Dev, Quality and production)..and naming convention is also same ..(all process chain points to Production system only)..
    So when I want to load data from development i just need to change the source system ip adrress  to  the Development Server  (So names in process chain will indicate production but  it will point to the development server), .
    I want to know how can i change the source system mapping.
    Hope i am clear now
