ABAP HR data extraction

Hi,
My query is related to ABAP HR.
I have to extract Job record for the
employee where hiredate lies within the set period ( 60 days in my case
i.e.
PN-BEGDA = ( SY-DATUM ) - 60. "Begin date
PN-ENDDA = ( SY-DATUM ) - 1 . "End date)
if no record exists within the set period i have to check the history for the same employee and extract the latest record for the same.
Please suggest me what can be done.
Regards,
Richs

Hi Richs,
write this way.
PN-BEGDA = sy-datum - 60.
PN-ENDDA = sy-datum - 1.
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST P0000 space PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
IF PNP-SW-FOUND = 1.
*print the pernr.
ELSE.
PN-BEGDA = '18000101'.
PN-ENDDA = '99991231'.
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST P0000 space PN-BEGDA
PN-ENDDA.
IF PNP-SW-FOUND = 1.
print the pernr
ELSE.
REJECT.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Infocube data extraction using ABAP

Hi,
We need to extract Charactristics values data from Infocube but LISTCUBE cannot be used because of reasons of flexibilty.
can any body suggest a way of the data extraction from the Infocube.I tried using the 'RSD_CUBE_DATA_GET' but not to much success also SAP will not support for later releases.
If anybody has a template program can you plaese send it.

BODS 3.1 : SAP R/3 data extraction -What is the difference in 2 dataflows?

Hi.
Can anyone advise as to what is the difference in using the data extraction flow for extracting Data from SAP R/3 ?
1)DF1 >> SAPR/3 (R3/Table -query transformation-dat file) >>query transformation >> target
This ABAP flow generates a ABAP program and a dat file.
We can also upload this program and run jobs as execute preloaded option on datastore.
This works fine.
2) We also can pull the SAP R/3 table directly.
DF2>>SAPR/3 table (this has a red arrow like in OHD) >> Query transformation >> target
THIS ALSO Works fine. And we are able to see the data directly into oracle.
Which can also be scheduled on a job.
BUT am unable to understand the purpose of using the different types of data extraction flows.
When to use which type of flow for data extraction.
Advantage / disadvantage - over the 2 data flows.
What we are not understanding is that :
if we can directly pull data from R/3 table directly thro a query transformation into the target table,
why use the Flow of creating a R/3 data flow,
and then do a query transformation again
and then populate the target database?
There might be some practical reasons for using these 2 different types of flows in doing the data extraction. Which I would like to understand. Can anyone advise please.
Many thanks

Hi Jeff.
Greetings. And many thanks for your response.
Generally we pull the entire SAP R/3 table thro query transformation into oracle.
For which we use R/3 data flow and the ABAP program, which we upload on the R/3 system
so as to be able to use the option of Execute preloaded - and run the jobs.
Since we do not have any control on our R/3 servers nor we have anyone on ABAP programming,
we do not do anything at the SAP R/3 level
I was doing this trial and error testing on our Worflows for our new requirement
WF 1 : which has some 15 R/3 TABLES.
For each table we have created a separate Dataflow.
And finally in between in some dataflows, wherein, the SAP tables which had lot of rows, i decided to pull it directly,
by-passing the ABAP flow.
And still the entire work flow and data extraction happens ok.
In fact i tried creating a new sample data flow and tested.
Using direct download and - and also execute preloaded.
I did not see any major difference in time taken for data extraction;
Because anyhow we pull the entire Table, then choose whatever we want to bring into oracle thro a view for our BO reporting or aggregate and then bring data as a table for Universe consumption.
Actually, I was looking at other options to avoid this ABAP generation - and the R/3 data flow because we are having problems on our dev and qa environments - giving delimiter errors. Whereas in production it works fine. Production environment is a old set up of BODS 3.1. QA and Dev are relatively new enviornments of BODS. Which is having this delimiter error.
I did not understand how to resolve it as per this post : https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/2596
And trying to resolve this problem, I ended up with the option of trying to pull directly the R/3 table. Without using ABAP workflow. Just by trial and error of each and every drag and drop option. Because we had to urgently do a POC and deliver the data for the entire e recruiting module of SAP.
I dont know whether i could do this direct pulling of data - for the new job which i have created,
which has 2 workflows with 15 Dataflows in each worflow.
And and push this job into production.
And also whether i could by-pass this ABAP flow and do a direct pulling of R/3 data, in all the Dataflows in the future for ANY of our SAP R/3 data extraction requirement. And this technical understanding is not clear to us as regards the difference between the 2 flows. And being new to this whole of ETL - I just wanted to know the pros and cons of this particular data extraction.
As advised I shall check the schedules for a week, and then we shall move it probably into production.
Thanks again.
Kind Regards
Indu

Open data extraction orders - Applying Support Packs

Dear All,
I have done the IDES 4.6C SR2 installation.
While updating the support packs, i get the message saying
CHECK_REQUIREMENTS phase.
Open data extraction orders
There are still open data extraction orders in the system
process these before the start of the object import because changes to the ABAP Dictionary structures could lead to data extraction orders not being able to be read after the import and their processing terminating
For more details about this problem, see Note 328181.
Go to the Customizing cockpit for data extraction and start the processing of all open extraction orders.
I have checked the Note.
But this is something m facing for the first time.
Any suggestion!!!
Rgds,
NK

The exact message is :
Phase CHECK_REQUIREMENTS: Explanation of the Errors
Open Data Extraction Requests
The system has found a number of open data extraction requests. These
should be processed before starting the object import process, as
changes to DDIC structures could prevent data extraction requests from
being read after the import, thus causing them to terminate. You can
find more information about this problem in SAP Note 328181.
Call the Customizing Cockpit data extraction transaction and process all
open extraction requests.

Data extraction with PL/SQL

Hi Expert
My customer wants to use PL/SQL language for SAP data extraction in Oracle database. He doesnt want to use ABAP code for this.
In my opinion I think that its not correct to do this but I have no solid argument.
Could anyone explain to me why its not advisable to use the ORACLE database directly for this data extraction?
Best regards

Hi,
PL SQL(Native SQL) statements bypass the R/3 database interface. There is no table logging, and no synchronization with the database buffer on the application server. For this reason, you should, wherever possible, use Open SQL(ABAP SQL) to change database tables declared in the ABAP Dictionary. In particular, tables declared in the ABAP Dictionary that contain long columns with the types LCHR or LRAW should only be addressed using Open SQL, since the columns contain extra, database-specific length information for the column. Native SQL does not take this information into account, and may therefore produce incorrect results. Furthermore, Native SQL does not support automatic client handling. Instead, you must treat client fields like any other.
I think this will be useful for you

ECC Data extraction

Hello All,
I have a situation in my department where I need to extract the ECC data to third party database (MS SQL). Initially we were thinking of using SAP BW extractors for extraction through SAP PI to push the data out but this doesn't seem to be feasible. Is this a fair assessment of the situation?
What other methods we can use for data extraction? We are evaluating options for ABAP programs, SAP Queries and BAPIs. Is there any other way we can extract this data set. The data set is required for sd,fi-ar/ap,mm,pp.
We donot need data fro real time time basis, but on the same lines of a data warehouse extraction like SAP BW.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi
I recently figured out what to do and here is what we do :
Not many would like to allow you to extract data directly from SAP R/3. But we have been successful in extracting data for our in-house implementation of BI at ORG level. You need to understand which tables of R/3 would give you what information.
If that information could be gathered. Then extracting data on BODS is very simple. Though it is a bit tricky and it is not direct. But a we do it as a process of different stages.
We use BODS 3.1
Step 1 :
You need to create 2 connections on SAP R/3 Datastore :
1) conn 1 :
Use the option generate and execute - ABAP Execution option
data transfer mtd : direct download
working directory on SAP Sever : here give local path on which BODS server is running e.g. ; d:\bods
local directory : : d:\bods
Generated ABAP directory : d:\bods.
execute in bg : no
Create data flow :
SAPR/3 >>> (sap r/3 table>>>query transformation>>data transport (dat file))
||__query transformation >> target database (we have chosen oracle) . You could create a datastore for sql server.
And Import that table table under this connection.
Even for SAP R/3. Import that table immediately after you create the SAP R/3 datastore.
We have used the option of replace file in data transport option in dat file
So that each time you run the job the file gets replaced.
Step 2 :
Create a job for this work flow
Run the job.
It will create a dat file and a ABAP File on the specified D: Bods folder.
Step 3 :
Send the ABAP File : to sap bw / sap team - requesting them to create this ABAP program. and make it available on your SAP R/3 System.
(We found this is easy to do for anyone, all that you need is to copy paste and activiate and do the transport to the sap r/3 system and does not require any time to do any ABAP programming - as such)
Note : For the data store creations of SAP R/3 : THE user name being used. Need to have access to all the required tables of SAP R/3. Otherwise data access will not happen. You can chek the data flow at each stage and it will say, not authorised. If you dont have access.
Step 4 :
Now create another SAP R/3 Connection conn2 ;
This connection will use the option : execute preloaded (abab execution option)
execute in bg : no
data transfer method : shared directory
working directory on sap server : d:\bi_share
(Create a shared folder on sap r/3 server : :\BI_SHARE (the user on data store should have complete access of read and write on this shared folder)
application path to share directory :
sapservername
bi_share
Step 5 :
Now if you have the ABAP Prog already available on your R/3 system.
Re-run the job finally using the new data store for execute - preloaded.
which is pointing to the shared directory of sap server itself.
And this job can be scheduled on production BODS server finally.
======================================================
Wherever required, import the tables under the related data store.
Although it might sound a lengthy process. Actually, it hardly takes a very little time, compared to the time involved in trying to ask someone on ABAP to code / or take help of BW or whatever.
We have done things on DEV BODS tested the same.
then we have moved everything into production.
And till date : it has been successful for us.
We have taken help of ABAP programers only when we explicity required some customised logical programming. Which was not available directly on SAP R/3 system.
Otherwise if we generally pull all the fields once we take any table from SAP R/3 so that i could be used any time later. Even if not required today.
And SO with a little effort, even a person who is new to SAP R/3 or BW or BODS.... like me, is able to manage. So, it is not difficult i suppose.
Good Luck.
We have used oracle for reporting database. And sql server should also work the same way.
We use sql server only for meta data information.
like BO Repository or BODS repository
Cheers
Indu

Bulk API V2.0 Data extract support for additional objects (Campaign,Email,Form,FormData,LandingPage)?

allison.moore
Any plans for adding following objects under Bulk API V2.0 for data extraction from Eloqua. Extracting the data using the REST API for these objects makes it complicated.

Thanks for quick response. Extracting these objects using REST API in depth=Complete poses lots of complication from the code perspective since these object(s) contains multiple nested or embedded objects within it. is there any guideline on how to extract these objects using REST so that we can get all the data which is required for analysis/reporting.

Data Extraction and ODS/Cube loading: New date key field added

Good morning.
Your expert advise is required with the following:
1. A data extract was done previously from a source with a full upload to the ODS and cube. An event is triggered from the source when data is available and then the process chain will first clear all the data in the ODS and cube and then reload, activate etc.
2. In the ODS, the 'forecast period' field was now moved from data fields to 'Key field' as the user would like to report per period in future. The source will in future only provide the data for a specific period and not all the data as before.
3) Data must be appended in future.
4) the current InfoPackage in the ODS is a full upload.
5) The 'old' data in the ODS and cube must not be deleted as the source cannot provide it again. They will report on the data per forecast period key in future.
I am not sure what to do in BW as far as the InfoPackages are concerned, loading the data and updating the cube.
My questions are:
Q1) How will I ensure that BW will append the data for each forecast period to the ODS and cube in future? What do I check in the InfoPackages?
Q2) I have now removed the process chain event that used to delete the data in the ODS and cube before reloading it again. Was that the right thing to do?
Your assistance will be highly appreciated. Thanks
Cornelius Faurie

Hi Cornelius,
Q1) How will I ensure that BW will append the data for each forecast period to the ODS and cube in future? What do I check in the InfoPackages?
-->> Try to load data into ODS in Overwrite mode full update asbefore(adds new records and changes previous records with latest). Pust delta from this ODS to CUBE.
If existing ODS loading in addition, introduce one more ODS with same granularity of source and load in Overwrite mode if possible delta or Full and push delta only subsequently.
Q2) I have now removed the process chain event that used to delete the data in the ODS and cube before reloading it again. Was that the right thing to do?
--> Yes, It is correct. Otherwise you will loose historic data.
Hope it Helps

Not necessarily for systems above plug in 2002.
As of Plug-In 2002.2, it is no longer necessary to have DataSources linked. This means that you can now load 0FI_GL_4, 0FI_AR_4, 0FI_AP_4, and 0FI_TX_4 in any order. You also have the option of using DataSources 0FI_AR_4, 0FI_AP_4 and 0FI_TX_4 separately without 0FI_GL_4. The DataSources can then be used independently of one another (see note 551044).

Do anyone pls advise how to customize the payment extraction program? We also have the similar requirement to extract extra fields to format a payment file.

'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'

Hello Experts,
I am trying to pull master data (Full upload) for a attribute. I am getting an error on BW side i.e. 'The error occurred in Service API .'
So I checked in Source system and found that the an IDOC processing failure has occurred. The failure shows 'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'.
But when I check the extractor through RSA3, it looks fine.
Can someone inform what might be the reason of the failure for IDOC processing and how can this be avoided in future. Because the same problem kept occurring later as well.
Thanks
