Data load into SAP ECC from Non SAP system

Hi Experts,
I am very new to BODS and I have want to load historical data from non SAP source system into SAP R/3 tables like VBAK,VBAP using BODS, Can you please provide steps/documents or guidelines on how to achieve this.
Regards,
Monil

Hi
In order to load into SAP you have the following options
1. Use IDocs. There are several standard IDocs in ECC for specific objects (MATMAS for materials, DEBMAS for customers, etc., ) You can generate and send IDocs as messages to the SAP Target using BODS.
2. Use LSMW programs to load into SAP Target. These programs will require input files generated in specific layouts generated using BODS.
3. Direct Input - The direct input method is to write ABAP programs targetting on specific tables. This approach is very complex and hence a lot of thought process needs to be applied.
The OSS Notes supplied in previous messages are all excellent guidance to steer you in the right direction on the choice of load, etc.,
However, the data load into SAP needs to be object specific. So targetting merely the sales tables will not help as the sales document data held in VBAK and VBAP tables you mentioned are related to Articles. These tables will hold sales document data for already created articles. So if you want to specifically target these tables, then you may need to prepare an LSMW program for the purpose.
To answer your question on whether it is possible to load objects like Materials, customers, vendors etc using BODS, it is yes you can.
Below is a standard list of IDocs that you can use for this purpose to load into SAP ECC system from a non SAP system.
Customer Master - DEBMAS
Article Master - ARTMAS
Material Master - MATMAS
Vendor Master - CREMAS
Purchase Info Records (PIR) - INFREC
The list is endless.........
In order to achieve this, you will need to get the functional design consultants to provide ETL mapping for the legacy data to IDoc target schema and fields (better to ahve sa tech table names and fields too). You should then prepare the data after putting it through the standard check table validations for each object along with any business specific conversion rules and validations applied. Having prepared this data, you can either generate flat file output for load into SAP using LSMW programs or generate IDoc messages to the target SAPsystem.
If you are going to post IDocs directly into SAP target using BODS, you will need to create a partner profile for BODS to send IDocs and define the IDocs you need as inbound IDocs. There are few more setings like RFC connectivity, authorizations etc, in order for BODS to successfully send IDocs into the SAP Target.
Do let me know if you need more info on any specific queries or issues you may encounter.
kind regards

Triggering SAP workflow from non-SAP system

I am trying to use WF-XML to trigger a workflow in SAP from non-SAP system.
I have already created a workflow template in SAP and want to test the scenario if this will be really hit by the incoming xml message.
Questions:
1. How the data from incoming xml is tranferred to workflow container element? IF system does it, how is done? If not how to address it?
2. Do we have some tool here, to simulate this situation - to create a test xml incoming message with SAP and really see if that triggers the desired workflow template. Pupose is testing the scenario first in SAP and then going to the other system to test the real interface.
This is somewhat similar that we see in incoming IDoc. In Idoc we can simulate the incoming IDoc structure and test.
Is any one here who can guide on this?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds.

Hi,
You don't need a triggering event. In the xml it says which workflow should be started. You don't need a class to fill the container. The service does this.
I think there is a way to generate an example xml but I don't know exactly how. In the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/54/de9e3887d6174fe10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">SAPHelp</a> there are some examples of the documents. Check also the entry above it about the creation of a WF_XML document. In the first and third example it shows a container element and its value (QUESTION).
Try to get a copy of the book "Practical workflow for SAP" by Alan Rickayzen. It has got a part about this.
Also check this link from the SAPHelp:

Data loads into multiple InfoObjects from 0EHS_PHRASE_TEXT DataSource.

Dear Experts,
I am working on SAP HCM-BW 7.0 Implementation and am trying to load data into 8 different InfoObjects (Texts) through 0EHS_PHRASE_TEXT (Phrases) extractor.
There are many InfoPackages in place created during the previous project loading into different set of Standard BCT InfoObjects.
After migrating the 0EHS_PHRASE_TEXT DataSource from 3.x to 7.0 version, I have created different InfoObjects with Transformations and DTPs upon business requirements to load them. The relevant data is available in 0EHS_PHRASE_TEXT when checked in Extractor Checker (RSA3). However, when I create InfoPackages to load these different InfoObjects, I don't see the Data Targets listed and it makes sense since the data is first loaded into PSA and then will be loaded into Data Targets (in this case InfoObjects with Text) using DTPs.
My concern is... when I create a Process Chain to load Master Data into these Objects, the following action is happening:
1. Load 10 Records into PSA and then into InfoObject A. All 10 Records are loaded into A.
2. Load 5 Records into PSA and then into InfoObject B. Previous 10 + New 5 Records are loaded into B.
3. and it continues... for 8 InfoObjects.
My question is... is there are way that I can see the corresponding Data Target tab in InfoPackages so the Data is immediately picked from PSA of 0EHS_PHRASE_TEXT DataSource and then loaded into the corresponding InfoObjects.
Or should I make use of Transfer Rules by Re-storing the 0EHS_PHRASE_TEXT DataSource from 7.0 to 3.x version...!!
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandu

Hi Andreas
Thanks for replying and sorry for the confusion.
The extractor is delivering 10 and then 5 because of different selection parameters in the InfoPackage "selecting" which InfoObject I wish to load the texts for.
Your understanding of my requirements is correct.
Could you please elaborate Option 1 bit more..!
Regarding your Option 2, I don't want the DTPs to extract directly in full from the datasource because by doing so, all the data apart from the relevant data is also loaded into each and every InfoObject. And I don't want that to happen. I want to load only relevant data into respective InfoObjects from the PSA using DTPs.
I have tried to setup filters in DTPs with different Selection Parameters and tried to load relevant InfoObjects. For example, I am trying to load ZEHS_SUBS InfoObject with EHS_INJ_SUB_SUBSTANCE as the Selection Parameter. There are 54 records in both Source System and PSA for this parameter.
And the request is showing 54 in Transferred Records but only the very last 1 in Added Records. When I check in the Target (ZEHS_SUBS) InfoObject, it is showing only 1 Record. I have tried many combinations. They are:
1. Loaded only EHS_INJ_SUB_SUBSTANCE data from Source System into PSA and then tried to execute the relevant DTP.
2. Checked the 'Do Not Extract from PSA but Access Data Source (for Small Amounts of Data) and tried it.
3. Tried with both Delta and Full Extraction Mode.
4. Set Filter on Single Value as 'EHS_INJ_SUB_SUBSTANCE' to extract this data only.
5. Set Filter Excluding all the other Single Values.
6. Checked the 'Handle Duplicate Record Keys'.
Still only the last 1 records out of 54 is showing up in the Target InfoObject.
Please let me know if you have any idea as to why this is happening so.
Thanks for your time.

Sending IDoc from Non-SAP system to XI

Dear all,
We have a non sap system which needs to send IDoc to XI, Please could you answer my following four questions
1. What should be the values for the following fields in the IDoc control record
e.g. RCVPRN = <logical system name of XI>
SNDPOR
SNDPRT
SNDPRN
RCVPRT
RCVPOR
2. How does XI decide which port(idx1) to be used when it receives an idoc
3. The third party system is a non sap one, so it does not have a client no, so I would assume, I need to use another SAP system as a meta data provider, in that case, how would i tell XI to use that port when it receives IDocs from the non-SAP system ?
4. In what step does XI use the logical system name of the Business system(in SLD)?
Thanks in advance
cheers
danus
Edited by: Chidambaram Danus on Jan 25, 2008 2:21 PM

Hi
there is bit wrong interpretation of the statement
If the sender system is a non-SAP system, the sender service is identified from the logical system name of the sender port.
If the sender system is nonSAP it indicates taht the data is coming to XI from non sap systems such as file, database, webservice etc. to XI and from XI it will pass to sap as IDOC inbound.
For this you need to create the logical system in SAP (receiver) and pass on that value to IDOC header.
You could maintain it in the Business service used for Sender system (nonSAP). here it will be available in the tabs ---> History.
note : IDOC is the concept of data container in SAP, you will not be able to have the IDOCs in non sap systems...
Thanks

Extract Tables/views into ECC 5.0 SAP system from Non-SAP system

Hi,
I am looking for some inputs on how to set up the following scenario of extracting data stored in tables/views in a non-sap external system into my SAP ECC 5.0 SAP database.
Currently we are using a middleware between SAP and the external system to fetch data. I would like to get rid of the middleware and set up a scenario to call this non-sap external system and pull data stored in views into our SAP system directly. Is that possible in SAP version 5.0? If yes let me know the steps to be performed... do I need to set up XI ?

maybe you can access sap data using some connector such as java or .net connector.

What ATP category to use when loading from non SAP system

Hi Experts,
We are sourcing transactional data from SAP R/3 and using CIF to transfer these data to APO.
Now we have new sets of material locations where we are going to source transcational data from non-SAP system. We are going to extract file from non-SAP system and load it to APO. My question is, do I need to create new categories (non SAP categories) for all these transactional data (sales order, production order, purchase order, etc...) Or can I just use existing SAP categories that are getting populated when data are coming from R/3 through CIF.
If its possible, can I use RLCDELETE to delete previously posted transactional data? because we are planning to do full refresh and reload everyday.
Appreciate your help. Thanks
Regards,
Mylene

Hi My lene,
If i undersood your question correctly, you are trying to upload transaction data into APO system using file interface.
You can use custom or standard ATP categories to upload any type of transaction data and deletion of those orders also possible for both the ATP categories using RLCDLETE report (except salesorder and fixed planned orders, they can be deleted by SDORDER_DEL & DELETE_PP_OREDER reports respectively).
Custome categoires will be used in case additional data needs to get stored in APO system along with the standard transaction data coming from ECC system . For example, salesorders coming from ECC and uploaded from file.
If the transaction data coming from only one source system then it is better to use standard categories.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagadeesh

Uploading data from non sap system to sap system

hi to all experts,
my requirement is to upload data into the sap system from non sap system . the data is in a flat file ,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system. How to upload the data into sap system ....

hi,
the data is in a flat file,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system.
If the data is in excel sheet use this FM.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME                      = P_FILE
      I_BEGIN_COL                   = 1
      I_BEGIN_ROW                   = 1
      I_END_COL                     = 17
      I_END_ROW                     = 3000
    TABLES
      INTERN                        = itab
EXCEPTIONS
INCONSISTENT_PARAMETERS       = 1
UPLOAD_OLE                    = 2
OTHERS                        = 3
It will read the data from excel sheet column wise and then store it in ITAB. you can change the order after reading the file.
In case of Text file use FM GUI_UPLOAD.
You can change the order of the fileds after reading it from file, but the length and all you have to make compatible to SAP standard fields.

Sachin

Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

Hi all,
is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.

How Can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP in WebDynpro

Hi,
I hope u understand my query, How can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP thru WebDynpro Programming.
Help out with the steps for getting the data or procedure.
Regards,
Mutyapu

You can expose the APIs in the Non-SAP backend as Web Services, and consume them in SAP by creating an Enterprise Proxy. Then these can be called just like normal class methods from Web Dynpro.

you are telling that you are fetching the data from non sap system using RFC function module.. how it is possible..you canot fetch the data from non SAP system using RFC FM alone.. you have to use the concept BAPI.. it will work..
I hope this will help you..

Shilpa.

For employees where you are facing this error, please check if Time Sheet defaults - IT0315 is maintained, and if not maintain it.
Hope this helps.

Receiving IDocs from non-SAP system ...

Hello guys,
I have problem with implementing IDoc-XI-IDoc scenario. The sender system is a subsystem (non-SAP system) sending IDocs but XI is not able to receive them. I thing the IDoc metadata can not be found.
Logical system name of the sender is IF6020DEV. I registered the system in SLD. In Integration Directory I imported the Bussines System IF6020DEV to my scenario and I created communication channel of type Sender IDoc Adapter in it.
In IDX2 I created new port called IF6020DEV and I copied needed metadata into the port. But it doesn't work. Probably I don't do it right because I'm beginner with SAP XI.
Could you give me any advice how to configure XI for receiving IDocs from non-SAP system?
Thank you in advance!
Regards
Zbynek

Thank you very much. The issue described in refered discussion is almost same issue what I'm solving. Unfortunetally the described solution dosn't work for me.
The sender system still returns following error. I know you probably won't understand it because you don't know the subsystem, but maybe you could get some idea what is wrong.
