Changes In Business Content and Extractors after r/3 upgrade

Hi All,
We are in the process of upgrading from R/3 4.0b to ECC 6.0.
with the BW system bein upgraded to BI 7.0
Question.
What changes would occur for the business content and extractors after the R/3 upgrade.
Thanks in advace.
Regards,
Nikhil.S

Hi Nikhil
The datasources remain same, U can migrate them in BI side from 3.5 to 7.0 using RSDS -tcode.
All extractors remains same, Well it again depends on the service packs u r using.
Now the latest for BI is service pack 17 and for Business content patch is Patch 10.
U can find new datasources like 0FI_GL_14 and 0FI_GL_40 and many other queries.
In BI side
1.If you have update rules you will have to create transformations and there is no shortcut here ..if there are routines you will have to write them as well and change the syntax as some of the old syntax of 3.x is no more valid in BI 7.
2.Data loading concept changes as you can bypass the Infosource(but in few places you will need it actually like when you are directly loading from datasource to target and you want to read master data).
3.DTPs will be required..changes in the Process chains for the same.
4.Datasources need migration(first emulate them and test whether the Bi 7 loaidng is working or not otherwise if you migrate you will loose your transfer rule.
Reward if helped
thanks

  • Installation of Business content  and activation

    Hello,
    Our Source system is ECC 6.0 and
    BW :NW2004 S and SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 .
    We are able to create source system conection successfully . after installing the business content and replication, all the data souces in BW are still in Version D only. Do i need to select each DS individually to activate ?  or am i missing any steps ?
    Any help is highly appreciated ? 
    Regards

    Hi,
    I was also passed this latest information from my colleagues in Product Management.
    The method I explained is the old method for activating DataSources and extractors. It is still valid in SAP NetWeaver 2004s but there is a new, and easier, methid to do this now.
    Also if you have followed my instructions, there is an additional change in the replication process and a decision you must make:
    <i>"Once the customer has activated the DataSource via rsa5 in source system, then he/she needs to replicate this datasource to BI. During the replication, he/she is asked via pop-up whether he would like to replicate these datasources as 3.X DataSource or 7.0.x DataSource.
    If he decides to replicate these datasources as 7.0.x DataSources, then the A version of this datasource will be seen in table RSDS, instead of the original table RSOLTPSOURCE.
    So if the customer checked table RSOLTPSOURCE, then he/she only see the D version.
    This could be the reason that customer still only see D version after the datasource replication."</i>
    The new method is:
    <i><b>"- If you have a 3.X datasource, during the source system connection, the D
    version of DataSource is already replicated into BI.
    - With transaction RSOR in BI, you need to select the related transfer rule, and via transfer rule you are able to collect the 3.X DataSource.
    - Then you need to push 'install' button to activate this datasource.
    - After activation, the A version of DataSource will be available in BI and in Source system.
    - If you have a 7.0.x DataSource, the steps are the same like 3.X datasource. But via transaction RSOR you are able to directly select this datasource (object type RSDS).
    So with BI capabilities of NetWeaver2004s technology, it's no longer nessary to run rsa5 in the source system to activate the datasource."</b></i>
    I hope this helps,
    Mike.

  • BUSINESS CONTENT AND LO EXTRACTION

    Hi ,
    Please tell me
    1) what is the main difference between BI content and LO extraction.
    2) What happens when we install business content and what happens when we do LO extraction.why are we doing this extraction.?
    3) Which process must be done first.
    and LO is for logistics extraction i.e. SD,MM etc.(please correct if i am wrong)
    4) what about extraction with respect to finance is there anything like LO extraction for finance also?
    please explain in simple english.
    regards
    lap.

    well,
    I think you don't have to care too much about what did the R/3 consultant; of course what they have configured will be reflected in BW. The configuration impacts on how the data is populated and if your business objects are populated in R/3. It may or may not fit with the business requirement and sometimes it gets complicated to represent the data in BW.
    But that's why we have the business content.
    So you activate BC objects you need to report on in BW. LO datasources and extractors will be part of this activation. Then you connect both systems and extract this data. You'll have to check with your business req if your extraction reflects the R3 data as wanted by definition.
    I a fresh server, you will then just customize and implement all the workbench necessary (IObjs, Cubes, ODS, transformations....). if your system is empty then you won't data to check! But you'll move your developpment to a BW QA or PROD sys which will be connected to a client in R3 having data (otherwise your SD consultants wouldn't be able to test either...)
    Replication: when a DataSource has been changed in the source system (R3), the BW receiving structure has to be adjusted. this is done via the replication procedure.
    The source system keeps a timestamp of when the DataSource has been reactivated the last time. BW has also this timestamp in its DataSource. When you change your DS in R3, the timestamp will be updated. If you request now data in BW from this DS, the system will complain because both DS (in BW and in R3) have different timestamps. That's why you have to replicate prior loading.
    The replication may inactivate follow up objects like extract structure, transfer structure and TRules.
    hope that helps...
    Olivier.

  • Business content - UDC extractors

    I am activating a package that contains InfoSources with UDC data sources. I would like to use the Infosources and Infopackages out of the box if possible:
    Scenario 1:
    J2EE RFC and JNDI name will be the same as defined in Business content InfoSources
    Result:
    After activating BCT, UDC enabled Infosources & Infopackages are ready to use out of the box
    (Is that correct?)
    Scenario 2:
    J2EE RFC and JNDI name will not be the same as defined in Business content InfoSources (most likely)
    Action to be taken:
    User needs to create new UDC datasources for Infosources and create new Infopackages
    (Is this correct)

  • How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been

    Hi,
    How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been done GR and LIV? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Price anyway cannot be changed once GR is posted on the PO item, it can be changed only by cancelling the GR, the same applies to IR too.
    But quantity can be changed at any time.
    So if you are looking at blocking qty too, then a customized message through save exit is the option, I am not aware of any standard SAP messages that can be configured to achieve this..

  • SAP BW Business Content and R/3 Tables

    Good morning
    I wonder if you can help me.
    I am at a BW-MM implementation.
    From where I can get a list of Business Content extractors and tables which is supplied by R / 3.
    For example:
    0EC_PCA_1 -> GLPCT
    I need this information to implement the MM module in BW, but if you have or can help with additional information from other modules I will be grateful.
    I await your help and thank you very much!
    Javier.-

    Hi,
    Check the BI content.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/37/5fb13cd0500255e10000000a114084/content.htm
    Go to the original page from there by clicking the arrow buttons.
    There you can see your functional areas.
    For example, to find 0EC_PCA_1, you will go to Financials--> Profit Center Accounting > Datasources> PCA transaction data.
    For MM, go to Supply Chain Mgmt --> Supply Chain Performance Management --> Procurement
    Here you can find what tables the extractor is based on.

  • Business Content and Data Sources automatic binding

    Hi,
    I am not clear about the Data Sources and Business Content sync.
    If I transfer the datasources in SBIW(RSA5)  and replicate in BW, how it will automatically bind to the infosources and data targets when we activate the relevant infoobjects in BW Business content. As part of Business content activation, will it search for datasources and bind to it automatically? What steps are needed in order to make the everything hooked up correctly?
    Can anyone clarify to me how it works? Please explain step-by-step.
    Thanks.

    Is there any addiotional things we need to do at info source level after activating the content? Selecting the correct data source etc.
    If there is a enhancement to the extraction structure then what all steps manually  we need to do at info source level? When we replicate the data source which has been enhanced, will it create the infoobjects automatically so that they can be used in infosource communication structure?
    As I am new to the system, I am running in to all these questions.
    Appreciate any help in step by step how things will work.
    Thanks.

  • Business Content and Metadata Repository

    Hi
    Can any one point me to the right place or if any one know any thing please through some tips on this
    What are the benefits of using Business Content?
    What is the importance of Metadata repository?
    Thanks
    Farooq

    Hi Syed Farooq,
    Business Content is a pre-configured set of information models based on consistent metadata in the SAP BW.
    BI Content makes the supply of information available to those roles in an enterprise that require this information to complete their tasks.
    BI Content consists of roles, workbooks, queries, InfoProviders, InfoObjects, InfoSources, transformation rules and extractors for SAP systems and any additional applications that have been selected.
    There are lot Adv like BW implemention is accrelarated and so on check the link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/5fb13cd0500255e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    here are some of the load erros which were already discussed in forums..pls go thru them...
    Business Content :
    SAP Business Information Warehouse delivers pre-configured objects under the collective term “Business Content”. These objects speed up the implementation of the SAP Business Information Warehouse because they deliver complete solutions for business information requests.
    Business Content includes:
    · R/3 extractor programs
    · DataSources
    · Process chains
    · InfoObjects
    · InfoSources
    · Data targets (InfoCubes and ODS objects)
    · Variables
    · Data mining models
    · Queries
    · Workbooks
    · Crystal Reports
    · Web templates
    · Roles
    Since Business Content are Predelivered we use them , It can reduce considerable amount of time which will be needed if you going for a generic extarction
    Hope it helps.

  • Installing Business Content and Merge - Overwrites InfoSource - Very Urgent

    Hi Gurus,
    I was installing Business Content for a Cube with the grouping Data flow before using Merge/Copy option in DEV.
    The cube got activated  and all the objects associated with it. What I didn't realize was that the InfoSource used for the DSO of the cube was also used by a custom DSO which has already been deployed in QA.
    So the transfer rules were only partially maintained and the content InfoSource merged with the active one. The DataSource for the custom DSO is from QA (a different R/3 from DEV R/3). The issue is that the custom DSO in QA is now linked to the installed (new) InfoSource belonging to the DataSource of the DEV R/3.
    Please kindly guide on:
    1. How to change the InfoSource for the custom DSO from the currently installed one to the original one? Can I deactivate the update rules and create new InfoSource and transfer rules for the custom DSO and transport it again to QA?
    2. What are the implications this might have on the newly installed DSO & Cube?
    All answers will be suitably rewarded.
    Thanks,
    Swetha

    Hi Swetha,
    I am not too sure, if i understood ur problem correctly but,
    If your BI QAS system is still good.. that means ur custom DSO is still linked to old version of Infosource in BI QAS.
    The talk to ur BASIS guys and ask them to transport the Insource/Transfer Structure from BI QAS system to BI Dev system.
    This can be done by creating a transport in BI QAS system, the type of transport should be Transport of Copies.
    and also before importing this Trasnport from BI QAS in BI Dev System maintain an entry in BI Dev system  RSA1>Tools>Conversion of Logical System names and put an entry as Source = ur BI QAS Logical System Name and target as ur BI Dev Logical System name.
    Cheers
