Low-Cost data migration and ETL tools

Hi, Im building a database for my company. We are a rather small size book company with a lot of references and still growing.
We have a Mysql database here and are trying to find some good tools to use it at its best. Basically we are just starting up the database after dealing with Excel: we had a size problemu2026 So im trying to find a program that will allow us to do two different things: the migration of our data from the old system to the new one and a specialized software to perform ETL (Extract, transform and load) on our database.
About the price of the tools, if we were one year ago, the accounting department would have been pretty relaxed about this. But today, we have some budget restrictions and therefore need a low cost tool. So could you give me some advice on a good data migration and etl tool for a low cost?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Some companies have budget problems and are having to reduce their cost of operation.
Have you ever heard of open source tools? They can do the job easily and less expensive than proprietary solutions that cost a lot of money.
You can have a look at a good ETL open source program called Talend Open Studio: it is user-friendly but also has advanced features intended for technical users (java debugger, code injectionu2026). It can perform data migration and ETL as you wrote in your first post.
The website is [here|http://www.talend.com/solutions-data-integration/data-migration.php] to download the open source program. They have a forum and documentation you can read. Tell us what you think about the software.

Data Migration and Reconcile

Hi All,
What all Elements need to be considered for Data Migration and how do we reconcile the historic data?
Regards
Raghavender K

Hi
For project foundation you will need to migrate the following -
projects and tasks
For project costing you will need to migrate the following -
Projects expenditures and CDL's. Usually companies are migrating historic costs in a summarized way. Consider an expenditure for total cost per project, task, expenditure organization and type. You may consider summarizing by period, and maybe summarizing by employee. Actually the level of data summarization depends on the reporting needs of the historic data from the new system.
For project billing you will need to migrate -
Agreements and funding allocations to projects.
Revenue and invoices amounts. Here also you may consider allocating the accumulated amounts or keeping each invoice / revenue as a separate transaction.
If you have budgets and forecasts, those should be converted as well.

Data Migration and Consolidation Best Practices?

Hi guys
Do you know what the best practice for data migration to FCSvr is? We’re trying to consolidate all media on various firewire/internal drives to a centralised RAID directly attached to a dedicated server. We’ve found that dragging and dropping a FCP project file uploads its associated media. The problem is that if there are several versions or separate projects linking to the same media, associated media is re-uploaded everytime! This results in that media getting duplicated several times. It appears that the issue is due to FCSvr creating a subfolder for every project file being uploaded which contains all the project’s media.
This behaviour is not consistent when caching assets, checking out a project file, making changes and checking it back in. FCSvr is quite happy for a project file to link to media existing at the root level of the media device.
We are of course running the latest version of everything. Hope you can help as we’re pulling our hair out here!
Regards
Gavin

Hi,
Do you really need an ETL Tool for these loading processes. Have you considered doing it in sql/plsql. If the performance of the application is one of the main priority I would definitely consider doing it in sql/plsql.
Because of the huge amount of data and because your source and target systems are Oracle DBs I wouldn't recommend you to use Informatica.
Also because source and target are Oracle DBs and it should be near real time you should have a look at Oracle Streams.

Data migration in LSMW with CRM_XIF_PARTNER_SAVE

Hi,
for a data migration of business partners from a legacy system into a CRM 5.0 system I want to use the CRM_XIF_PARTNER_SAVE or CRM_XIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M IDoc. Everything works fine when I migrate a business partner with only one address and only one bank account, but what settings I have to make that I'm able to migrate a business partner with multiple addresses and bank accounts?
I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance,
Timo

Hi Timo,
you need to repeat the corresponding IDoc segements for "Bank Details",
eg for IDoc CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE01 (display via WE30 or navigate via BDFG).
here the example for phone data: (I didn't expand all nodes)

                4 E1010328105811                 External Interface: Communication Data Fax    BUS_EI_FAX_DATA
You can try the same for address data. Note: you don't need to renumebr the repeated segments in the IDoc, the "system" is doing it ...
Be sure that the sequence of the other segements after the duplication is still the same, or you get an error.
Go to transaction WE19. There you key in an existing and successfully posted IDoc. Then you can edit this Idoc, insert the new segements for additional phone numbers for testing.

Data migration and version-up

Dear all friends,
i am new in SAP,
i plan to join Data mirgration and version-upgrade domain.
please help to show me : process step by step or your experience when upgrade system
ex : process to upgrade from SAP R/3 to SAP ECC.
what life-cycle, document, template should we use !?
thanks !
Edited by: Quoc Luc Nguyen on Apr 22, 2008 6:54 AM

Hi,
Please check with the below links. They provide the information you are looking at.
Upgrade Information Center [original link is broken]
http://www.thespot4sap.com/upgrade_guide_v2.pdf#search=%22upGRADE%20STEPS%20-%20SAP%22
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
1) Project Preparation
Analyze the actual situation
Define the objectives
Create the project plan
Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
2)Upgrade Blueprint
The system and components affected
The mapped business processes
The requirements regarding business data
3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
5)Production Cutover and Support
The production solution upgrade
Startup of the solutions in the new release
Post processing activities
Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is
Includes
Function Groups / Function Modules
Programs / Reports
OSS Notes
SAP Repository Objects
SAP Data Dictionary Objects
Domains, Data Elements
Tables, Structures and Views
Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
BDC Programs
Print Programs
SAP Scripts, Screens
User Exits

4. What is the diffrence b/w LSMW and BDC ? Both can be used for Data upload so, what differences are b/w them ?
5. Any other thing to remember/know during Data Upload ?
Thanks,
Lucky

Sales based data migration through LSMW BAPI (BUS1505) change

Hi Everyone,
keep getting this error message while trying to load sales based scenario.
there is neither no term category in the sales rules's structure nor it is in reporting rule's structure.
error message
Term category 1410 cannot be used in sales rules
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
John

John,
That is hilarious I know that feeling.
Not sure why you are getting this error but try following -
1. Make sure your file does not have data in cells which you don't use.
2. Structures which you do not want to pass any values in, do not pass those structures at all. Means if you wish to change only business partner then user only 1 structure and one header record for identifying the contract that is it. Do not pass any other structure not even blank in the file.
3. Make sure in source to target mapping you have made correct assignment if by mistake you have made incorrect assignment you will get bad data.
4. When you read your data execute step display read data and review where you see 1410.
5. Similarly when you execute Convert step in LSMW execute display converted data and you will see if 1410 was populated.
last step if none of the above works ) Display the conversion program and put a debug point at this particulat field and see from where this value is being passed. This is no standard error so it has to be your LSMW/Input file.
Let me know what it was

Data migration and SEPA direct debit structure B2B

Hi Gurus
we are starting SAP roll-out at the company that already has SEPA direct debit B2B process with their customers. This is a recurring B2B process. In their existing Erp system the customers have already SEPA mandate Reference.
We migrated the customer master data from thier legacy system and we transferred external SEPA mandate reference.
Each customer has information about the first run , which they need to retain in the SAP system. To which field the data from the first run should be migrated ?
When they start using SAP SEPA direct debit procudure this will not be the FRST, but RECUR run. How to modify the DMEE structure and assign the first payment run ID to the field EndtoEndID.
I craeted the Z DMEE structure , but first i need to know to which field this information should be written.
Do you have simular issues?
Thank you and kind regards

HI Gordana
We have exactly the same issue. I just analyse the dependencies, when First is set. If I make the migration of a already used mandat, I plan to update the field by a hard update, so that first is not taken by the system after migration the sepa mandate.

Material master data BAPI and LSMW log

I have three questions want to ask :
1. I will use all the view to create material master. I want to know if there is one BAPI to create it.?
2. If I use LSMW to create it, in LSMW i use the BAPI method to create it. But I should to know the detail log information When I finished the LSMW. How can I get the log information ,because I should send the log information to other system. I must get the log, then I can send out the log information to other system.
3. I want to know if i can run lsmw in report. if there one FM to do this ? User don't want to step by step to run this , they want to run only once time so they can create the master data.
Thanks in Advance .

WM DATA MIGRATION THROUGH LSMW

Hi
I am Rahul Here.
In a roll out project we want to migrate all the WM data from Server 1 to Server 2.
can someone tell me what all the things are required to be done?
What should be the process?
The process as per my knowledge
1. Download from existing server1 in a format (What that format should be?)
2. Uploade the files to the new system in the same format.
Please comment. Urgent please.
Rahul

Is it just WM that moves, the entire SAP system?
As the material master views will go with the rest of the material master.
So there is no extra/additional work.
In any case, check following link for the datatransfer in WM:

Awaiting for best possible solution.
Thanks in advance.

the 3rd party tool is ETL , you can use ETL tool and the prepare the load files then you can use LSMW method to upload the data to SAP.

LSMW data migration porcess from the beginning

Hi gurus,
I do understand that there are 14 steps to be completed during migration, but can anyone give me a basic idea as what needs to be done prior to the above steps when starting a data migration project, as i have been only involved in the LSMW(14 steps) process before.
Thanks in advance, points will be awarded for all answers.

Hello
As an intro:
Classical data migrations are typically limited to master data and
tend to cause multiple negative impacts on workflow and oper-
ating business units.
To minimize costs, risks, and effort during a data migration and ensure a smooth changeover for operational business processs items, and better reporting
capabilities SAP recently come with a Data Migration Solution called SAP Accelerated Data Migration tool.
This advanced tool, coupled with support from the SAP Services organization and SAP partners, lets you easily migrate and integrate application data from any legacy system into SAP applications and reduce migration costs significantly.
Data migration is done in 4th phase i.e. the final preparation stage of ASAP methodology.
As far as LSMW is concerned, BDC and LSMW both are use for loading data into SAP system. The difference is ,LSMW is loading tool by SAP where you can use various methods to upload, massage data or cleansed your data while loading into SAP from legacy system. The method can be BDC, BAPI, Idocs or SAP ABAP codes. Usually in BDC the user has to write an ABAP program or use other utility to load legacy data.
LSMW has been developed mainly for the Functional people who has no knowledge of the technical aspects of report or BDC in ABAP because its very user friendly and handy to use. So, simply they can upload the master records using LSMW.

Hi Prajith,
I second Venkat, but also you need to know about Data Transfer Workbench in CRM.
Go into the IMG and follow the path: Customer Relationship Management>> CRM
Middleware and Related Components>> Exchanging Data With External
Components>> XIF Adapter Setup>> Inbound Direction>> Settings for the Data
Transfer Workbench and LSMW>> SAP Data Transfer Workbench.
Here's the help from SAP for the Data Transfer Workbench:
