XML generation with SAP data using XML schema - Reg

Hello experts,
My requirement is , SAP( ztable data ) data has to be transferred to third party software folder.Third party using XML so they requires output from SAP in XML format.
For that third party software guys told me that they will give their own XML schema to me.I have to generate XML file with SAP data using their XML schema.
Generating XML file with their Schema should be underlined.
I studied that call transformation statement helps for this.
Even then i don't have clear idea about this topic.
Please brief me about how to use their XML schema to generate XML with my own sap data.
Thanks in advance experts.

How to go about multiple inclination with different data selection in Delta

We have to copy large amount of data ( more than 42lak of recodes) selectivly from on ODS to other ODS. in delata load ( BW 3.5 enverioment)
I thought of loading data in slices through delta loading with selection condition.
step 1> Do The initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2001 ( Init without data transfer )
step 2> Take the delta load .. it will take all delta record with same selection
step 3> Now I want to do Initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2002
step 4> take the delta now it will take delta for year 2001 and 2002 both Right ?
Here what problem I am facing.. while doing 2nd time initialization it prompt me to delete the last initialization request form scheduler menu.
if i delete the last request .. will it take the delta for previous initialization selection and new initialization selection. ?
Please advice how to go about multiple inclination with different data selection in delta loading.
Looking forward your reply.

Hi,
step 1> Do The initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2001 ( Init without data transfer )
step 2> Take the delta load .. it will take all delta record with same selection
step 3> Now I want to do Initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2002
step 4> take the delta now it will take delta for year 2001 and 2002 both Right ?
You are correct with this scenario normally. The message you mentioned normally comes up when you open a infopackage and don't change the selection first or in case you have overlapping selections with an already done init.

Oracle BI Apps with SAP data sources

What is the delivered content provided by Oracle BI Apps to map with SAP data sources?
Thank you!

As things stand right now SAP R3 is only supported on a much older release of BI Apps (7.8.4). That release used the Informatica SAP PowerConnect technology to populate the Warehouse.
I posted before on this forum the list of supported SAP Modules.
BI Apps cannot use SAP BW. BW can be a direct data source for BI EE however.
In the near future our support for SAP will be up to date and back on track. There are internal efforts underway that I cannot discuss here in the forum.

Hello Guys,
Migrating'm all SSIS2008 packages for Sap Data Services.
During this process I found a difficulty about running Stored Procedures (Sql Server 2008 R2) within the Sap Data Services.
I need help to convert this code sample:

@ARQUIVO = ?
to Sql ('datastore', 'example') with parameter passing ...

Import the stored procedure as a function in a datastore.

How to make link between xcelsius components with sap data using Web servic

Hi all,
I have a doubt regarding connection between Xcelsius components and SAP data.
I created one Web service using Function module and made a connection between xcelsius and that web service using binding URL. It shows imput and output parameters perfectly.
But I cant get any idea as to how to connect Xcelsius components with these parameters.
Can anybody help me out..
please its urgent.
Thanks,
Simadri

Have you bound your output parameters to ranges of cells? Select the item, then click the icon to the right of the Insert In: box and select the cells.
Add a spreadsheet component to your chart and bind it to the cells, then preview the model. Do you see the data coming through?
If you do, then you can click File > Snapshot > Export Excel Data. Then close Preview mode, and import data from spreadsheet and select the sheet you just exported. This gives you real data to work with when designing the dashboard.
Hope that helps.

Working with SAP Data Format yyyy.mm.dd in data services

Hi,
I had 2 questions about date formats coming from SAP to DS .
1) I am trying to convert date fieild from SAP that is formated to yyyy.mm.dd to mm/dd/yyyy but I am not having any luck .. I am using the to_date function when I run this below I get null values in my template table . I think it has to do with me not stating my input date format but cannot seem to get the correct syntax's any ideas ?
2) Does Data Services recognize dates which are formatted as yyyy.mm.dd ?? When I put I added a column to a template table and added the sys date command it returned the sys date as yyyy.mm.dd BUT when I try a fiscal_day function (which should brings back the number of days between the input (my SAP source date ) and the sys date which are formatted the same (yyyy.mm.dd) I get a format error (input parameter 2009.03.10 is not valid) . any ideas ?
Thanks for your time,
Brett

Hello Brett
to_date convert STRING to date based on input format.
As i understand your source data not in string format.Is this correct?
Use combination to_char->to_date for your transformation

Pull the data from legacy System into report and display with SAP data

Hi Friends,
My requirement is-
Create report by processing data from SAP tables and prepare output.And Before displaying the output, I have to pull the data from non-sap system which is readymade (It will come as flat file with similar fields as Report structure has) and finally display the records from both SAP and Legacy System by filtering duplicates.

Steps:-
Define the file path on selection screen:-
Selection screen data
    select-options   (s_)
      parameters     (p_)
      radio buttons (r_)
      checkboxes     (x_)
      pushbuttons    (b_)
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK block1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-f01.
parameter:    p_file    type text_512 obligatory.
Start-of-selection.
data : l_fname type string. " File Name
l_fname = p_file .
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    exporting
      filename                = l_fname
      filetype                = 'ASC'
      has_field_separator     = '#'
    tables
      data_tab                = lt_data
    exceptions
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
      no_batch                = 3
      gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
      invalid_type            = 5
      no_authority            = 6
      unknown_error           = 7
      bad_data_format         = 8
      header_not_allowed      = 9
      separator_not_allowed   = 10
      header_too_long         = 11
      unknown_dp_error        = 12
      access_denied           = 13
      dp_out_of_memory        = 14
      disk_full               = 15
      dp_timeout              = 16
      others                  = 17.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message e000 with 'Unable to upload file from the PC'(t13).
endif.
lt_data is of same structure as the fields in the file.
For filtering duplicates:-
delete adjacent duplicates from lt_data.
Now display the records using either ALV or using write statements.
You can display the records in any of the way you want.

Pre-fill Office documents with SAP data from WebDynPro screens

I have a requirement to have Word/Excel type file templates that we can open and have pre-filled with data attributes from SAP objects.
I know that we can do this relatively easily from within the SAP GUI in transactions such as SCASE etc... but our solution needs to have this type of functionality invoked from WebDynPro screens that are delivered through the Portal.
We have looked at Adobe Document Services which will give us the fucntionality as described, but because of licencing constraints we are unable to use ADS at this stage.
Does anyone have any knowledge or ideas on how we may achieve pre-filling of Word templates etc. from WebDynPro screens?

Paul,
Did you figure out how to do this? We have a very similar requirement now. Appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Thanks

Looping over arraycollection with sap data

Hello,
I asked a lot of persons but i still have a problem.
I am trying to make a organizational chart in Adobe Flex with data out of the SAP system.
When I try to access my data that I have given trough the Flash Islands container it doesn’t work.
I do:
[Bindable]
Public var datasource:Arraycollection;
Then I want to loop over this datasource with a for loop but it says that the object is null.
for (i = o; i < datasource.length; i++)
When I use datasource as dataprovider for a datagrid in Flex, that works perfect.
Please answer fast because I need it for school.

Read IDOC WMMBID02 information and compare inventory data with SAP

Hi All,
Here is an explanation of the issue:
I need to read the data from an inbound IDOC, status 64, of standard type WMMBID02 and message type WMMBXY. I do not want to post the IDOC, but only read the IDOC information which is mainly the material number, batch, status(INSMK), quantity and unit. This data I have to compare with SAP data and see if it is same for the selected material numbers. Now to read and process the inbound IDOC we have a program RBDAPP01 (BD20 Transaction) which calls the process code WMMB (WE42 transaction) which in turn calls the function module L_IDOC_INPUT_WMMBXY. This FM posts the IDOC. I have created a function module with the same import, export and tables parameters like this FM and have attached it to a custom process code ZWMMB. This function module should just read the data of the IDOC and put it in the table TB_IDOC_DATA like EDIDD (IDOC data records). I then loop into this table, extract SDATA and split it into the 3 segments of WMMBID02 and then extract my required data, MATNR, CHARG, INSMK, MENGE & MEINS.
My Question:
How do I trigger the process code ZWMMB so that I can read the IDOC data when it is fired (status 64), just like program RBDAPP01. Is there any standard code that can be copied and modified or how to do it???
I have tried to be very clear with the question, please reply if the question is not clear. If I am clear, please help
Thanks Anirban

I am able to read the contents of the IDOC, but I need to run the FM when I fire the IDOC of message type ZWMMBXY. I have created a custome FM which will behave as a stndard FM for inbound IDOC processing.

Crytal Integration with SAP BW

Need help.
I have read some links at SDN, like Getting started link on BO and also [http://www.businessobjects.com/product/packages/] to understand do we have to buy any additional licenses to use Crytal reports with my SAP BI 70?
1) We already own Crystal Enterprise. We are using for Non SAP Data
2) I remember to see SAP's integration kit in BW 3.5 and toolset to allow creating Crystal Reports on BW Queries. Also remember as SAP Customer we have access to create 10 queries even when we do not have Crystal License.
3) Since we have Crystal Enterprise already, do we need to buy additional Licenses for using it for SAP BW.
My question is limited to Crytal because SAP had some content development relationship with Crystal before.
BusinessObjects XI Integration Kit for SAP wiill certainly will allow it but is it really needed for Crystal Reports?
Can some one clarify?
Pankaj

hi pankaj,
Integration of SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0
Use
You can integrate a number of objects and applications of SAP BW 3.5 into SAP EP 5.0.
SAP EP 5.0 includes the following objects:
Applications are designated as Services in the Enterprise Portal.
With the integration of roles, the role migration from all services automatically creates External Services, as long as the services have not been saved in the BEx Web Application Designer as iViews. External services are displayed in the portal as applications that fill an entire page.
iViews are services that encompass an entire page in the portal. A portal page can consist of several iViews from different systems and sources (for example, the Web).
iView files are files with the ending .ivu that include a description of the iView in XML. You can import IView files without direct role migration into the portal.
Prerequisites
You have made the necessary settings in SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0. You can find more information under Making Settings for SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0.
Features
You can use the following BW services in the SAP Enterprise Portal 5.0:
·        BEx Web application
·        BEx Web Application As an iView
·        BEx Web application as an iView file
·        BW query
·        BW workbook
·        Crystal Report
The following options are available for integration:
·        BW services integration using roles with the help of role migration
For more information, see Integration Using Roles.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using the function Publish ® In the Enterprise Portal 5.0 as an iView in the BEx Web Application Designer
For more information, see Integration Using iViews.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using the function Publish ® In the Enterprise Portal 5.0 as an iView in the BEx Web Application Designer

Integration Using Roles
Use
You can save all of the BW services supported by the Portal - except for the iView files in the BW system. By using role migration you can integrate these BW services quickly and easily into the portal.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP5.0 SP6 ® Administration Guide ® Roles ® Roles and SAP Systems ® Migration of SAP Roles to the Enterprise Portal ® Using Migrated Services to Roles and Worksets.
Features
The migration logs are usually stored under ...irj
esourcesSAPMigration.
The location of the irj directories is dependent on the J2EE Server.
Checking Migration:
You can check the migration via Content Admin ® Roles. You can use Preview to execute the migrated services both in the View Areaand in the Edit Area. If you have assigned a role to a user, you can check the total role completely.
Integration Using iViews
Use
The integration of the BW system and the portal with iViews is possible by using the role migration and the import of iView files. iViews are structured in the portal in channels.
Features
Role migration
With role migration, the iViews contained in the BW role are created in the iView server, where a separate channel is created for each role migrated from the BW system. The channel receives the name of the migrated BW role automatically from the system.
You can view the migrated iViews in the portal in the iView editor by using Content-Admin ® iViews. Select the name of the channel there.
If the iViews already exist in the portal, they are neither deleted nor overwritten. You can remove the iViews manually by using Edit ® Delete.
Import of iView files
BW iViews are in the portal Java iViews.
       1.      Therefore, choose the category Java iViews before the import.
       2.      In the iView editor under Content-Admin ® iViews, choose the Import function.
iViews are currently only supported in one language (English).If the English language is not maintained for an iView, then a technical name is created from the logical system and from the BW template ID.
You can change the texts for iViews using Content Admin ® iViews. Select an iView and choose Edit.
In addition, note that with BEx Web applications under Content Admin ® iViews ® Edit on the Load tab page, the iView Load Method Bypass iView Server has to be activated.
Check
Under Content Admin ® iViews, you will find next to each iView a Preview link that enables the execution of an iView.
For the display of iViews in the portal, the assignment of iViews to the portal pages and their assignment to roles is necessary.
Assigning iViews to pages
       1.      Under Content-Admin ® Pages, choose the New function to create new pages in the portal.
       2.      Under the Content tab page, select the iViews you want.
If necessary, you need to change the Display selection to All or Not Selected to select new iViews.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Pages ® Defining the Page Content (Content tab).
Assigning pages to roles
       1.      Before a page is able to be viewed by a user, you have to assign it to a role.
       2.      Under Content-Admin ® Roles, select a role for editing and choose Edit.
       3.      Under View Area ® Show, select the Pages entry.
       4.      Select a page and choose Add to add it to a role.
If necessary, select the file as Is Entry Point, so that the page is then able to be viewed.
The option Mark first-level folders as entry point means that the file is valid on the highest level in the role as the point of entry. This selection causes assigned users to this role to receive this file, displayed in the initial navigation bar.
You can also restrict this setting subsequently with the help of Content Admin ® Roles for the specific file.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Roles ® Role Maintenance ® Creating Roles and Assigning Contents ® Assignment of Content Objects to Roles.
Assigning roles
Afterwards, you have to assign the particular role to the user.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® User Management ® Assignment of Users and Groups to Roles.
Check
To check iViews in the portal according to the assignments described above, you need to call up the portal again.
Calling up the Enterprise Portal is possible by using the URL http:///sapportal.

Integrating BW Services Using the iView Wizard
Use
In addition to the integration of iViews using role migration, you can also use the iView wizard in the portal to integrate iViews into the portal.
Procedure
Call up the iView wizard using Content-Admin ® iViews.
As the type, choose Java.
Choose New iView.
On the Info tab page, specify a Unique Name and an iView Title.
On the Load tab page, choose the iView Load Method Bypass iView Server.
On the Java tab page, choose BW Web Application as the application type.
Choose Next.
Select the BW system from the dropdown box.
Specify the BW Query String.
Choose Finish.
Choose Add.
The BW Query String is the part of the BEx Web application URL that is found after the question mark, for example, ?cmd=ldoc&template=0Query_template.
You obtain the query string.
in the BEx Web application designer:
Choose Web Template ® Open to open the Web template for the BEx Web application you want.
Select the Web template from your history, your favorites, or your rolls by double clicking on it.
In the Web application designer, choose Publish ® Copy URL in Clipboard.
in the Web application executed on the Web
Note that the Web application has to be in its initial status. That means that you have not yet navigated there, but rather that you only displayed the Web application on the Web.
In the context menu for Internet Explorer, choose Properties.
Select the Address (URL) and choose Copy in the context menu.
You now have the URL on the clipboard and can then use the query string for entry in the iView wizard.
Note that you have to specify the correct stylesheet when creating iViews manually.
Choose under Content-Admin ® iViews next to the Edit iView.
On the Java tab page, select the BIReports30 stylesheet under Look and Feel Theme Part for BW Reports.
Using System Configuration ® Styles, you can edit stylesheets that each user can then select themselves using Personalize: Portal.
The style editor also contains entries for BEx Web applications under Elements ® Complex Elements.
The modified stylesheets are transferred automatically to the BW system so that the BEx Web Applications are suitably displayed in the stylesheet for the portal.
Check
Under Content Admin ® iViews, you will find next to each iView a Preview link that enables the execution of an iView.
Result
You have now integrated a Web application as an iView into the portal. Before you can display the iView in the portal, you have to assign the iView to a page. The page has to be assigned to your role. See also Integrating Using iViews.
Integration of BW Components into the Portal
Use
The integration of BW contents into the Enterprise Portal ideally takes place using Web applications and queries that run in the Web browser. In some circumstances, you can also integrate other BW components, such as the Administrator Workbench or the BEx tools BEx Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer, or BEx Analyzer into the Portal.
Features
Calling the Administrator Workbench
The Administrator Workbench is a comprehensive SAP transaction that functions only in connection with a locally-installed SAP GUI for Windows. With a SAP GUI for Windows 6.20, you do not have to log on again if you want to display SAP GUI for Windows transactions on the Web (single sign-on is supported).
You can generate the Administrator Workbench in the portal as an external service either using SAP role migration or manually by way of the following steps:
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RSA1.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling the Business Explorer Analyzer
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is an Excel add-in with extensive OLAP functionality in connection with a BW system. In order to use the BEx Analyzer, you have to have the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW Frontend installed locally. For technical reasons, the BEx Analyzer opens in a separate window. You do not have to log on again because single sign-on is supported. A SAP GUI for Windows appears in the Enterprise Portal window in the work area.
You can generate the Administrator Workbench in the portal as an external service either using SAP role migration or manually by way of the following steps:
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RRMX.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling BW Workbooks
BW workbooks are MS Excel workbooks with one or more embedded queries. BW workbooks need the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW Frontend.
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. BW workbooks are suitable for Windows with Excel.
We recommend that you use BEx Web applications in the Enterprise Portal that also run completely in the Web browser.
You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the Web application context menu as an alternative to a local installation of the BW Frontend if you need to use the functions of Excel. See Functions of the Context Menu and Exporting as a CSV File/Excel 2000 File.
SAP role migration automatically generates external services that point to BW workbooks. HERE AND CHECK PATHS
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RRMXP.
Choose Finish to save the external service.
You then have to add the following parameters using Edit since you cannot enter these using the wizard.
The parameter Additional Dynpro Parameters name-value-pairs (n1=v1;n2=v2;... optional allows the workbook ID to be specified (for example WBID=CN24XRCKJ8HDDIZ3CCUTGPF1A).
Under Process first screen automatically?, enter the value True.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling the Business Explorer Web Application Designer
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. The BEx Web Application Designer is a Windows application. It is technically possible to start Windows applications in the Web browser but this is not recommended for security reasons. Instead, you call the Windows application BEx Web Application Designer from the Windows start menu.
If necessary, you can create an HTML page on a Web server that contains the link file://C:/Program%20Files/SAP/FrontEnd/Bw/wdbpwpub.exe.
Note that the path is dependent on the local installation directory. Single sign-on is not supported.
Calling the Business Explorer Query Designer
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. The BEx Query Designer is a Windows application. It is technically possible to start Windows applications in the Web browser but this is not recommended for security reasons. Instead, you call the Windows application BEx Query Designer from the Windows start menu.
As an alternative to the BEx Query Designer, in a Web environment such as the Enterprise Portal, you can use the BEx Ad-hoc Query Designer to create or change queries. You can insert the Ad-hoc Query Designer into a Web application and integrate it using the role migration, for example, or as an iView into the Enterprise Portal. For more information, see Functions of the Ad-hoc Query Designer.
If necessary, you can create an HTML page on a Web server that contains the link file://C:/Program%20Files/SAP/FrontEnd/Bw/wdbrlog.exe.
Note that the path is dependent on the local installation directory. Single sign-on is not supported.
Calling the Business Explorer Browser
The BEx Browser behaves like the BEx Web Application Designer or the BEx Query Designer.
There is little point in using the BW-specific BEx Browser in a company-wide Enterprise Portal because the basic functionality of the BEx Browser (calling reports) is covered in the Enterprise Portal.

Differences SAP BW 3.5 SAP EP 6.0 & SAP BW 2.x/3.x SAP EP 5
Use of BW Objects in the Enterprise Portal
For the end user, there are no significant differences in the integration between SAP BW and SAP EP as regards the various release combinations. The updates and changes in SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 have no effect on the use of BW objects in the portal. You can find more information on the changes under Differences between SAP EP 5.0 and SAP EP 6.0.
Publishing BW Objects to the Enterprise Portal
There are significant differences in publishing of BEx Web applications in SAP EP 6.0 with SAP BW 3.5 in comparison to integration between SAP BW 2.x/3.x - SAP EP 5.0. Publishing in SAP BW 3.5 is done using the BEx Web Application Designer, BEx Query Designer or the BEx Broadcaster.
In SAP EP 5.0, the SAP BW system (or the SAP BW systems) is maintained in the system landscape, through which a call of BEx Web applications is possible at runtime. In SAP BW 2.x/3.x systems, the SAP Enterprise Portal (or SAP Enterprise Portals) are not maintained. Thus a BW system only has a one-sided connected to a portal. For this reason, the inclusion of BW content must also be done in a separate step in the portal.
In SAP EP 6.0, the SAP BW system is also maintained in the system landscape. In addition, one or more SAP Enterprise Portals 6.0 can be entered in the SAP BW 3.5 system. Through deployment of Java components of SAP BW 3.5 into SAP EP 6.0, the SAP BW 3.5 System can access and display contents of the portal. In the BEx Application Designer, assigned portal roles, content from the Portal Content Catalog, and documents and folders from Knowledge Management are displayed in the open and save dialogs. During save, iViews or documents can be created directly from the BEx Web Application Designer or BEx Query Designer without having to take separate steps in the portal. Using Information Broadcasting, documents and links can be generated in Knowledge Management. These documents and links can be visualized using the BEx Portfolio.
You can find more information on integration options under Integration of SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 6.0.

Account intergrating FA with GL

Hi everybody
You can explain for me about intergrating FA with GL. In my chart of accout has many accounts, but when I configure intergrating FA with GL, it has some accounts. I don't known where I must enter other accounts
You can explain for me
Thanks so much
Reguards;
Ngocpt

Hi,
Your chart of accounts must have a lot of accounts, becuase you can use diffent gl accounts to post different asset class. For example, when you buy an asset to assets class 100, this is going to be posted to GL account 111025, but when you buy one for asset class 200, you are going to post in GL account 112045. Is the same logic to post retirement, adjustment, revauations, and depreciation.
In some cases if more than one depreciation post the GL, you have to detail different accounts for each depreciaiton area, because just one depreciation area is going to be posted online, the other ones are not posted online, so you can run ASKBN first.
So, you have to review this things with end user, because depends of this decision, the information is going to be posted and showed in the final financial statements, so you have to be carefull when you decide to use one account in each line.
As Phani, told you, you have to go throught AO90 to assign the GL accounts to each account determination.
Remember that the same account determination can be linked to more than one asset class, so be careful about which GL account you take.
I hope this can explain you, why you have to many GL accounts.
Regards,
Aracely
