About source system parameters.

when I create a source system in BW for connecting to R/3,what's the meaning of available destination(it provide several options,I think they are logical system and all refer to BW itself).There are 2 logical server targets,BW and R/3,but they are the same system number.When I created a new source system,it always displayed that it already exited and refer to the BW self source system.It confuses me.Could you give me some hints? Thanks.

hi,
you have to create rfc connection both in r/3 and bw. the procedure i said should be done in bw. in r/3 your create rfc destination with bw logical system name. there is doc in bi best practice for the steps, point you later. i have no access to system now.
i think connection type should be '3', ip address/host name, user/password to login, most important is the destination name should be same as logical name. after maintained the parameter, have a 'test authorization'

  • How DAC decodes its Source System Parameters into Informatica mappings??

    Hi All,
    I would like to know about "How DAC decodes its Source System Parameters into Informatica mappings??".
    Is it an informatica mapping? or through a file? or its internal to DAC server?
    Can we say the DAC server to decode it differently i.e. can we costomize the decode process? For example
    $$START_DATE - i gave "Custom Format(1950-05-21 01.23.56) @MM/DD/YYYY" at dac - and it decodes as '05/21/1950' but I want it to decode as TO_DATE('05/21/1950','MM/DD/YYYY') is this possible?
    Note that the informatica mapping takes the first decoding '05/21/1950' as number and through a sql error.....
    Thanks for your time......
    DK

    Please set the values of $$FILTER_BY_SET_OF_BOOKS_ID, $$SET_OF_BOOKS_ID_LIST in DAC and check if the values get reflected in the parameter files that DAC generates for informatica at run time.
    If this does'nt work, see if the BI services were restarted after doing change in the parameter file. The services need to be restarted in order to reflect the change.

  • DAC source system parameters not being generated

    HI all,
    We are implementing BI apps 7962 with Informatica 861 Hot FX11, OBIEE 101341 on Linux5. We have installed and set up the configuration completely. The Informatica services are created and the DAC was configured with the Source System Parameters. When I generated the execution plan parameters, the files are being generated in the SRC files folder. But it seems like the source system parameters I set in the DAC client are not being picked up.
    For example I have set the Initial Extract date as 1/1/2008. But when I ran the load and saw the log files it still seems like the Initial Extract date is 1/1/1970. We have set the custom property for Integration Service overrideMpltVarWithMapVar as Yes. Please help me if any one has seen this before.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    When you have configured all the tasks in DAC, while running the loads DAC will generate the parameter files at runtime.
    You need to make sure that parameterfileDW.txt and parameterfileOLTP.txt files are present in DAC Installation Directory\bifoundation\DAC\Informatica\Parameter\Input folder.
    If these files are not present in the above mentioned location then you need to copy them from Informatica Installation Directory\PowerCenter 8.6.1\server\Infa_Shared\SrcFiles folder.
    Hope this helps...................

    I want to copy the records in the tab source system parameters from 1 container to another, i only want the source system parameters, anybod have any idea, I was thinking of copying them directly in SQL, was not sure where though, Thanks

    Go to your custom container at Source system parameters tab
    right click->Reference->Select the container->add required one
    If helps pls mark as correct/helpful

  • DAC Source System Parameters

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me please what parameter I have to set if I want to do an initial load stating with a given date (eg. 1/1/2009)?
    I configured $$INITIAL_EXTRACT_DATE, but I noticed a different date for fact tables.
    Which is the meaning of the following parameters (in DAC doc are not so well explained):
    $$ANALYSIS_END
    $$ANALYSIS_END_WID
    $$ANALYSIS_START
    $$ANALYSIS_START_WID
    $$INITIAL_EXTRACT_DATE
    $$LAST_EXTRACT_DATE
    $$CURRENT_DATE
    $$CURRENT_DATE_WID
    Thanks,
    I.

    Hey,
    Do not worry as these parameters are for a host of different source systems ..
    Initial Extract date is the one used for setting up the extract date for the full load be it dimensions or fact !!
    HTH !!

  • Question about source system copy for BW

    Dear all,
    I have a quick question about copying a source system for BW.
    We have two clients in the source ERP:
    100 Customizing
    200 Testing
    Our BW is only linked to client 200, so when we now delete client 200 and make a copy from 100 to 200, are we then still able to restore the source system connection so that our extraction will work, or will it fail, as in client 100 I have no BW related (except the cross-client-objects like datasource) information, that can be used for a possible restore of this connection.
    What is the procedure in this case?
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    Unfortunately, you will lose your source connection and need to create a new one in R/3.  You can use the same source system name in BW, but check the source system connection after the copy (SM59).  Also, I would "Restore" the source system (in BW, right-click on Source system in RSA1, and click "Restore") to insure the datasources get replicated from R/3 to BW.
    Depending on how much you want your BW and R/3 systems to be in synch, you will need to rebuild all your data providers (cubes/ODS's) from your R/3 system.  This means deleting all the data and running the initializations from scratch.  At the very least, you will need to rebuild the delta queues.
    Curious, if 100 is just for customizing, is there any data in it?  Are you just creating a new blank client 200?

  • Source system parameters showing as blank

    Hi,
    I imported metadata from export folder at that time able to see parameter list.
    after that we connected to server then it showing parameter list as balnk...
    how to restore those settings.....please guide me.

    Hi,
    Which of these did you pick on export/import?
    Logical
    Run Time
    System
    Is this an import of the data originally after installation, or an import between DACs in different environments, i.e. Dev -> Test?
    My first thought would be that the parameters were references to a different SSC and that you didn't export/import that SSC. Also, did you choose to truncate the repository tables when importing? You basically always have to do this as the DAC is totally unreliable in the import process if you don't.

  • Business Content Source System Assignment???

    Hi Gurus,
    i am installing Business content and after going thru few posts in this Forums i have been hearing about Source system assignment in the Business content screen.
    but when ever i installed i never really used this option and we have only one R/3 source system
    Can anybody explain me its functionality please
    thankyou
    harish

    When you activate Business Content, DataSources from source systems are assigned to InfoSources in SAP BW. If you do not select a source system, all source systems are automatically assigned. If you have several source systems this may take a lot of time because transfer rules have to be activated for each DataSource from each source system.
    However an assignment of a DataSource to an InfoSource may not be necessary for all existing Source systems.
    Assign only the source systems you need to load data from for the Business Content Objects that you are going to activate.
    You can subsequently change the selection you made.
    The assignment of source systems is only relevant for transfer rules, DataSources and InfoPackages. If there is more than one source system, only those objects assigned to the specified source system are collected for the transfer. Objects that have not been assigned to the specified source systems are ignored.

  • Will Dynamic Parameters remain connect if source system rebuild.

    Hi Experts,
    Will dynamic parameters remain connected if the source SAP system is formatted and rebuild.
    Our Scenario
    Now we pointed our Crystal Reports to SAP Ecc Tables.
    SAP Systems : A
    Client : 10;
    IP : 192.xxx.xx.xx
    Now the SAP Source system is formatting and going to rebuild with Production COPY.
    but the system information (IP,SYS NO, Client No) will remain same .
    My Question is : Do we need to re-point Dynamic parameters in the Crystal reports again? or connection remain.
    Thanks,
    BharathU

    Hi Frischer,
    If the copy is the exact same, meaning the query id, as well as the properties of the query are exactly the same, then it would work, as far as I know.
    Even the prompts have id's and measures and dimensions too. If those are not the same, then I believe that you would need to remapp.
    I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
    Kind regards,
    John

  • A question about item "type and release" of  source system creation

    Hello expert,
    I have a question about item "type and release" of  source system creation.
    As we know,when we create a web servie source system,there will display a pop-up which includes three items as "logical system","source system"and "type and release".
    About the item "type and release",when we push "F4" button,there will be three default selections as below:
    "ORA 115     Oracle Applications 11i
    TLF 205     Tealeaf 2.05B
    XPD 020     SAP xPD".
    Who can tell me when and how should I use the three selections.
    And also I attempted to input the item by some optional letters except the default three selections and it seems that I can input it freely.
    Thank you and Best Regards,
    Maggie

    Hello DMK,
    Thank you very much for your answer.It is very helpful for me.
    Can I ask you further about it?
    I got that it is a semantic description item.
    You said the default selections are set by our basis people.Would you like to tell me how should we creat a new value except the default ones for item "type and release"?Only by inputing the value in the item directly?But you see we canot see the new value item we created by ourself when we push "F4" button next time ,is that ok?Or do we have to ask basis people to define one new value item just like the default seletions before we use it.
    Also if possible would you like to describe detail about "This becomes important when you are troubleshooting certain issues especially when RFC connection problems."
    Thank you and Best Regards,

  • Question about Note 886102 - Empty the delta queue of the connected SAP source systems

    Dear expert
    I'm doing the system refresh from ECC PRD to QAS using the hot backup of PRD
    Before i start the database restore i was told to do the following step since this ECC has connection with one BW system
    -----------------------Step -----------------------------
    2.17 SAP note 886102 scenario C3
    Empty the delta queue for all of the connected BW systems.
    Execute all delta info packages two times on BW side, to clean up the delta queue in the source system. This is needed, because BDLS cannot rename the still available LUW-s in the qRFC queue.
    ----------------------Step-----------------------
    But unfortunately i missed to execute this step
    And the Q11 is now retoreing the backup of the database
    My quesion
    1. what will be bad consequence due to not execute this step? any way to makeup this error?
    Best regards,

    Hi Kate,
    The probably issue which I could forsee is data getting wrongly updated into production if RFC connection from ECC to BW is not stopped.
    Solution here could be to disable or deletethe RFC connections between ECC and BW before starting the SAP system at database level.
    delete from sapr3.rfcdes where rfcdest = '<name>';
    Once the system is up and running you can recreate them if required.
    Also before starting SAP set the number of batch processes to 0 on the profile at OS level so that any released jobs don't start as soon as SAP is up.
    Once the SAP system is up execute BDLS and change the logical system name.
    Hope this helps.

  • Slow extraction from Source System

    Experts,
    I'm on the basis team and we're trying to figure out what we can do to increase the performance of a BI extraction from an ECC source system.
    Our BI team is doing a Full extraction of Data Source 0UC_SALES_STATS_02 which has about 24 million records.  This has been running for about 2.5 days and has only extracted 12.5 million records according to RSMO
    I'm no expert on BI performance, but I'm trying to get there.  One thing we noticed is that we have over 1000 Data Packages and each has about 11K records per package.
    RSBIW "control params for data transfer" in the BI system is set as this:
    LOGSYS     --  Max KB.  --  MAX Lines  --  Freq  --  MAx PROC  -- Target Sys  -- Max DPs
    OURBWSYS --  20000 --          0             --  10    --        3            --     blank        --   blank
    OURECCSYS --  20000 --          0             --  10    --        3            --     blank        --   blank
    Also we only see one background process running on the ECC system which is the Zprogram that was written to perform the extract.
    We also checked IMG - sap netweaver - BI - links to other source systems - maintain contrl params for data xfer
    Freq/IDOC = 10
    pkg size = 50,000
    partition size = 1,000,000
    We are on NWEHP1 for our BI system
    We are on ECC6.0 EHP3sp5 for our ECC system
    We use Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 with it fully tuned
    We also think we have all the correct tuning parameters in our ECC/BI systems.  There are a few tweaks we could make but I don't see any glaring problems.  All our memory parameters seem to be in line with what is recommended.
    We do not see any kind of Memory/CPU bottlenecks.
    Do you think the many data packages and small records per package is a problem? 
    Any tips to increase performance would be helpful, I'm still looking.
    I saw this wiki thread and it mentions to look at tcode RSA3 in ECC system to monitor long extracts.   But I have looked at this and I have not figured out what all needs to go into the fields to correctly run this.
    Any help you can provide would be great.
    Thanks,
    NICK

    HI Nick,
    This problem is due to the huge volumes of data and the job is ruinng from long time onwards, normally we will kill the job if it exceeds more than 8 hours time while extracting the data.
    Please suggest your BI Team to pull data in small volumes by providing selections in info package. This will drastically redcues the time for extraction of huge data and will also not consume all the resources in system.
    Please pass below links to your BI team as this is completely releated to design issue.

    Type of DSO should be write optimized to increase load performance.

    2. And at your end look for the table spaces of the PSA tables, may be it is execeeding its capacity and make it as automatic. instead of manullay assigning the space at the regular intervals.
    Hope this helps.

  • Deletion of source system after an upgrade : consequences ?

    Hello,
    I'm a sap basis guy.
    We have a SAP BI 701 sytem mapped to our 4.7 Non Unicode source system.
    I have now perfromed the unicode migration and upgrade to ECC6 of the source system on another server.
    It means now, that I have two sourtce systems with exactly the same SID, and logical name.
    Sicne the BI connexion in RSA1, is based on the logical system name , I have no ther choice than delete the old
    source system, and recreate it with the same logical name but different connexion parameters (hosts, ...) and differentversion (
    I have talked with the BI team, but thnigs are quite unclear about the consequences of deleting a source system in RSA :
    Do all Transformations/ Transfer Rules between DataSources and targets are deleted ?
    Does it mean that they have to be manually recreated after the new source system has been recreated ?
    Is there any workaround ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Regards.

    Hello,
    If you do not save the source system dependent objects to a transport request before you delete the connection then the objects will be lost , you can avoid this by saving the objects to a transport request and then release the transport before you delete the connection and import it in the new system, the steps in general are below:
    RSA1
    Transport Connection
    Button 'Collection mode'  set to 'start manual collection'
    Press 'Source system assignment' button (it's the one left of the
    'Request BEx' button)
    Select the source systems you want to save the transfer rules for
    Continue
    Button 'Grouping' set to 'Save for system copy'
    At the left border click on 'Object Types'
    Extend tree  'Source system' LSYS
    Double click on 'Select objects'
    Select the source systems you want to collect objects for
    the source system is now displayed in the right box
    Press collecting button ('gather dependent objects')
    this may take a while
    Right click on the root of the tree and select
    Transport all below
    Expand the whole tree and check if there isn't an object which is locked
    by an other open transport request !!
    (the column 'Transport request' has to be empty (BEFORE deleting the corresponding source system
    connection!)

  • Error while creating source system in BI: Modification not possible

    Hi All,
    We are about to move to production, and therefore it's necessary to create in BI the source system related to our ECC (R/3). While trying to perform this action from BI side we received the error message:
    SAP system has status 'not modifiable'. Because of this, and following with known consultants practices we've changed the client to customazing but it still not working although the message at this time is: Changes to repository or cross-client Customazing are not permitted. We have also verified transaction SE06 but it's not possible to change the Cross-Application Component to Modifiable. 
    Did someone face with this same problem before?
    Thanks to all in advance,
    Regards,
    José.-

    Hi Rick,
    I really appreciate your quick response. We followed your recommendation and could create the source system without problems. Thanks once again!
    Best Regards,
