Loading Legacy system data into CRM 4.0 Service

I want to load a legacy system and create an IBASE component : the legacy data is filled in excel format.
Which is a better way ?? LSMW or use the function module:'CRMXIF_IBASE_SAVE'. What are the advantages and disadvantages??
This is urgent.

Hi Narayani,
LSMW using Ibase-idocs:
- a lot of functionality is covered (file-upload, converting, mapping,...)
- probably no coding required (or at least not to much).
- follow-up & errorhandling of uploaded data
- should be easy to set up
using function CRMXIF_IBASE_SAVE:
- direct control of data
- coding (you'll have to do the mapping yourself)
- no follow-up or errorhandling (except in the bdocs)
- The code cannot be reused.
--> If you need to combine excel-data with data already present in CRM, then it's a bit more complex.
--> I haven't tried the LSMW yet for IBASES

  • Load Historic Sales Data into SEM

    Hi experts,
    I have a requirement in my project where as part of system readiness check it has been asked to "Load Historic Sales Data into SEM".Does anyone know as to how to proceed with the requirement.
    Has anyone dealt with this kind of requirement ever ?
    If yes can you tell me the steps please.
    Watever information you guys have please share it with me.
    Usefull answers will be rewarded subsequently.
    Thanks in advance,
    Abhinav Mahul.

    Hi Abhinav,
    Hav you integrated your system with BW system.
    If yess then you need to upload all previous sales information from CRM system to BW system.
    Secondly, copy all the CRM sales order data residing in an infocube to be replicated to a sales planning sales order infocube of SEM.
    This is what is meant by Loading historic sales data into SEM.
    To do this you would require a SEM/BW consultant.
    You can use a funtion name 'COPY' in BPS-SEM to copy one sales infocube to other.

  • Most efficient way to load XML file data into tables

    I have a complex XML file running into MBs. I want to load it's data into 7-8 tables.
    Which way will be better:
    1) Use SQL Loader to actually load directly into the 7-8 tables directly by modifying the control card.
    Is this really possible and feasible? I am not even sure about it
    2) Load data as XML Type in a table and register it. Then extract from there to load into various tables.
    Please help. I have to find the most efficient way of doing it.
    Regards,
    Sudhir

    Yes it is possible to use SQL*Loader to parse and load XML, but that is not what it was designed for and so is not recommended. You also don't need to register a schema, just to load/store/parse XML in the DB either.
    So where does that leave you?
    Some options
    {thread:id=410714} (see page 2)
    {thread:id=1090681}
    {thread:id=1070213}
    Those talk some about storage options and reading in XML from disk and parsing XML. They should also give you options to consider. Without knowing more about your requirements for the effort, it is difficult to give specific advice. Maybe your 7-8 tables don't exist and so using Object Relational Storage for the XML would be the best solution as you can query/update tables that Oracle creates based off the schema associated to the XML. Maybe an External Table definition works better for reading the XML into the system because this process will happen just once. Maybe using WebDAV makes more sense for loading XML to be parsed (I don't have much experience with this, just know it is possible from what I've read on the forums). Also, your version makes a difference as you have different options available depending upon the version of Oracle.
    Hope all that helps as a starter.

  • Loading of presummarized data into Analytic Workspace

    Hi,
    The structure of my AW is as follows:
    DIM_A:
    a1 ________
    |___ a2
    |___ a3
    TOP_LEVEL LEAVES_LEVEL
    DI_B:
    b1 ________
    |___ b2
    |___ b3
    TOP_LEVEL LEAVES_LEVEL
    There is a cube named CUBE_1 based on the two dimensions and a measure MEASURE_1 defined in it.
    Fact table:
    DIM_A DIM_B MEASURE_1
    a1 b1 100
    a2 b2 2
    a2 b3 5
    a3 b2 4
    a3 b3 3
    My CUBE_1 cube is mapped to the fact table.
    The structure of my AW is created in AW Manager.
    What should I do to make the following row to be summarized with the rest o f t he rows?
    DIM_A DIM_B MEASURE_1
    a1      b1      100
    I expect the value of 100 to be added to the vaue comming from the aggregation of the leaves.
    In the documentation of AWManager there is said: "Data may also be loaded that has been presummarized in an other system."
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/1451_AWM10g.pdf, page 11.
    Regards,
    azawada

    In my experience if you want to load pre-aggregated data into a cube you need to modify your cube mapping. The assumption is that your source fact table contains all the possible permutations for the specified dimension member. You then make multiple mappings from the source dimension column to each level listed in the dimension section of the cube mapping object.
    Within the cube definition you then need to assign the aggregation method of Non-additive on the 'Rules' tab and de-select all the levels on the 'Summarize To' tab
    Hope this helps

  • OWB11gR2 - simple and easy way to load XML formatted data into db tables?

    Hi,
    we're currently trying to load table data stored in XML files into our datawarehouse using OWB 11gR2.
    However, we're finding this is not quite as trivial as loading flat files...
    Most postings on this forum points to the blog-entry title "Leveraging XDB" found here (http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/09/leveraging_xdb.html).
    This blog also references the zip-file owb_xml_etl_utils.zip, which seems to have disappeared from it's original location and can now be found on sourceforge.
    Anyway, the solution described is for OWB 10g, and when trying to import experts from the zip-file etc. we end up not being able to run the "Create ETL from XSD" expert, as the 11gR2 client is different from the 10g and does not have the Experts menu et.al.
    Also, this solution was published over 3 years ago, and it seems rather strange that importing XML-formatted data should still be so cumbersome in the newer warehouse builder releases.
    The OWB 11gR2 documentation is very sparse (or rather - quite empty) on how to load XML data, all it has is a few lines on "XML Transformations", giving no clue as to how one goes about loading data.
    Is this really the state of things? Or are we missing some vital information here?
    We'd have thought that with 11g-releases, loading XML-data would be rather simple, quick and painless?
    Is there somewhere besides the blog mentioned above where we can find simple and to the point guidelines for OWB 11gR2 on how to load XML-formatted data into Oracle tables?
    Regards,
    -Haakon-

    Hi Venkat,
    For 2 point:
    if you are in release < 3.5 you can use Tcode RSCRM_BAPI to produce a flat file from a query in CSV format.
    if you are already in => 3.5 you can check for APD.
    You can also use Openhub-InfoSpoke to produce flat file to feed other SAP systems.

  • Loading new xml data into a already xml populated image display

    Hi everybody,
    I have a question about loading new xml data into a already xml populated image gallery.
    So I have my gallery set up so it calls some xml when it first loads. What I would now like to do is load different sets of images via a different xml sheet via the click of a button.
    So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and user can click on them to view the full size image. So next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would just like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones from a different xml file.
    If anybody can help me with this it would be great as I am still on a steep learning curve with AS3.
    Here is my AS3
    var xmlPath:String = "pictures.xml";
    var xml:XML;
    var loader = new URLLoader();
    loader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
    function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
         if ((e.target as URLLoader) != null )
              xml = new XML(loader.data);
              createMenu();
    var numberOfItems:uint = 0;
    var menuItems:Array = new Array();
    function createMenu():void
              numberOfItems = xml.items.item.length();
         var count:uint = 0;
              for each (var item:XML in xml.items.item)
              var imageLoader=new Loader();
              var menuItem:MenuItem = new MenuItem();
              menuItem.addChild(imageLoader);
              imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(item.url));
              menuItem.linkTo = item.linkTo;
              menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
              menuItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClicked);
              menuItems.push(menuItem);
              addChild(menuItem);
              count++;
    function ***():void
         //menuItems.sortOn("zpos3D", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
         for (var i:uint = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++)
              setChildIndex(menuItems[i], i);

    Thanks so much for the reply Andrei1
    I think maybe my lack of knowledge when it comes to AS3 is not helping me at the moment because I thought I understood the code you supplied but there is something not going quite right.
    So I messed around with the code and added the new_loaded_thumbs_btn to load in the "new_pictures.xml" but I am def doing something wrong.
    import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;
    var xmlPath:String = "pictures.xml";
    var xml:XML;
    var numberOfItems:uint = 0;
    var menuItems:Array = new Array();
    var loader = new URLLoader();
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
    loadXML("pictures.xml");
    new_loaded_thumbs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadXML);
    function loadXML(path:String):void {
         loader.load(new URLRequest("new_pictures.xml"));
    function loadXML(path:String):void {
         loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
    function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
         xml = new XML(loader.data);
         createMenu();
    function createMenu():void
         clearMenu();
         numberOfItems = xml.items.item.length();
         var count:uint = 0;
         var imageLoader;
         var menuItem:MenuItem;
         for each (var item:XML in xml.items.item)
              imageLoader = Loader();
              menuItem = new MenuItem();
              menuItem.addChild(imageLoader);
              imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(item.url));
              menuItem.linkTo = item.linkTo;
              menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
              menuItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClicked);
              menuItems.push(menuItem);
              addChild(menuItem);
              count++;
         sortChildren();
    // removes previously placed objects
    function clearMenu():void {
         var menuItem:MenuItem;
         while (menuItems.length > 0) {
              menuItem = menuItems[0];
              removeChildAt(getChildIndex(menuItem));
              menuItem.shift();
    function sortChildren():void
         //menuItems.sortOn("zpos3D", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
         for (var i:uint = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++)
              setChildIndex(menuItems[i], i);
    When the image display 1st loads it displays the new_pictures.xml thumbs which I thought would load through my new button when clicked.
    And there was me thinking I was getting the hang of AS3.
    Could you please point me in the right direction in what I am doing wrong,
    Thanks for your time and effort in advance

  • Regarding loading of excel data  into oracle database

    hello,
    Can someone help me in knowing that how can we load excel sheets data into oracle database.
    I will be really thankful to you.
    Gursimran

    Hi,
    There is tool given by oracle "Oracle Bulk Loader "
    you can use this.
    But in order use this you need a control file, which specifies how data should be loaded into the database; and a data file, which specifies what data should be loaded.
    Example :- this is the control file which has information how the data is processed.
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE test.dat
    INTO TABLE test
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
    (i, s)
    Example :- test.dat which is the data file or say your excel sheet or document
    (1, 'foo')
    (2, 'bar')
    (3, ' baz')
    example of Loading :-
    sqlldr <yourName> control=<ctlFile> log=<logFile> bad=<badFile>
    sqlldr testing control=test.ctl log=test.log
    Thanks

  • Loading Labview Binary Data into Matlab

    This post explains the Labview binary data format. I couldn't find all of this information in any one place so this ought to help anyone in the future.  I didn't want to add any overhead in Labview so I did all of my conversion in Matlab.
    The Labview VI "Write to Binary File" writes data to a file in a linear format using Big Endian numbers of the type wired into the "Write to Binary File" VI. The array dimensions are listed before the actual array data. 
    fid = fopen('BinaryData.bin','r','ieee-be'); % Open the binary file
    Dim1 = fread(fid,4); % Reads the first dimension
    Dim2 = fread(fid,4); % Reads the second dimension
    Dim3 = ...
    Each dimension's length is specified by 4 bytes. Each increment of the first, second, third, and fourth byte represent 2^32, 2^16, 2^8, and 1 respectively. 0 0 2 38 equates to 2*256 + 38 = 550 values for that particular dimension.
    As long as you know the number of dimensions and precision of your binary data you can load it.
    Data = fread(fid,prod([Dim1 Dim2 Dim3]),'double',0,'ieee-be'); % Load double precision data
    If you have appended multiple arrays to the same file in Labview you would repeat this procedure. Load each dimension then load the data, repeat.
    Data = fread(fid,prod([Dim1 Dim2 Dim3]),'int8',0,'ieee-be'); % Load int8 precision data or boolean data
    I had to create a function for my own purposes so I thought I'd share it with everyone else too.  I uploaded it to the Matlab File Exchange.  The file is named labviewload.m.
    This was tested on Matlab R2007a and Labview 8.2.

    Thanks. I have the same questions as I tried to load labview binary data into Matlab.

  • Loading InfoObject master data into Cube

    Hi Guys,
    I have a  question. I created an InfoObject as a data target and loaded data into that data target. I created a cube and I want to include this infoobject in the cube. Now How do I load data into this cube from the InfoObject.Because the InfoObject doesnt have any option to select data targets, since it is master data.
    Data is being loaded into the InfoObejct. But when I check the cube there is no data.
    How do I load this master data into the cube without update rules?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    i think u need load some value to transaction data so that you can report on it, but how you are going to decide which row will be having which value from master data? in general value for this should come from transactional data, or you could assign some constant value to it.
    Do you want to use any attribute of Inoobject in report? And if you have any key value for that coming from Transaction data, you can use rule type as read from master data
    It depends upon your requirememt.
    Since you want to restrict the values of the cube which are going into the report then you should include this object into the cube.
    In any case if you want to restrict the value of the transactional data in the cube with either the value of the objects ot the attributes of object you will have to add this object into the cube.
    As you said you can load master data and use in report but how you are going to use it..............you will have to include it in the cube to use it.
    Also you can check whether this object is attribute of some other object already in the cube in that case you can make it navigation attribute and then use it for the restrictions in the cube.
    In this case only you do need to add it to the cube,But if it not an attribute of any object then you must add it to the cube.
    You have to get the value of your infoobject into Cube from datasource, even though you want to use attributes only.
    You will have to add it and it wont have any effect the transaction data getting loaded into the cube will be different from the master data only SID's are matched during loading of the data.
    You should load separate master data into the 0recontract infoobject with the master data source and make the respective object contract type and contract category as navigation there.
    Also you should add 0recontract to the cube and update it from the transaction data source as you have said that it can be updated.
    Then just do the normal restrication at the report level
    You can make this display attribute as naviagatioonal first in the master data object and then in the cube make this attribute as navigational.
    then you can use it to restrict in the cube
    You can use Category as InfoObject in your cube, and while loading data for your infoobject in the rule type you can use option as reading from master data. It will take key of infoobject, and will update attribute value in your cube.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/f913426908ca7ee10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    You can also restrict with attributes value, Just in the restrcition of your infoobject in query designer, slelect left-botton button of 'Dipaly Other Values', here you can select you attribute and its value for restriction as well
