Any info about EDT (External Data transfer)

Hi,
I am working in insurance module of SAP. There is a business object called Business Partner which we need to migrate from legacy to R/3.
Now for migration of Business partner generally LSMW is not used. People here use EDT (External data transfer).
Does some one know about EDT as data transfer tools ?

Rajesh.

CO-PA External Data Transfer (KEFC)

Hello,
I am using KEFC t-code for external data transfer into CO-PA. The company code currency is activated at Operating Concern level.
So, KEFC is creating two records 1) record in USD 2) record in EUR (company code currency).
I am not able to figure out what exchange rate type it is using during the conversion.
Any ideas.
Thanks

Error in KEFC transaction - External Data Transfer

I am getting this error while using external data transfer function using KEFC.
Plan version is not supported -> check your entry
Message no. KG 029
Diagnosis
Plan version"xx" has not been created in operating concern"xxxx"
Procedure
Transfer version"xx" to operating concern"xxxx" and maintain the attributes for that version.
I have checked plan version settings. It has been created for operating concern as well. I am not sure how to resolve this. Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.

Hi AP,
Please check whether you defined a constant value for characteristic VERSI (Version) in the transfer rules for your sender structure. If you don't want to define a constant value there you have to assign a field from your external structure and fill the version in your external file. In this case please consider to fill the field in the following format '1 ' for version 1 (don't use '001').
Please refer and implement note 576807 in your system if it is in your system . Also refer note 508273 for a possible list of problems in external data transfer.

External data transfer into CO - Profitabilty Analysis tables

Gurus, Sending this again as the earlier one was not answered. Please give us some insight ASAP.
We are implementing the custom allocations to CO-PA (Profitability Analysis) records externally and trying to post close to million records into CO-PA table CE1xxxx. What is the most efficient method should be used for the posting of the externally created records into CO-PA table. Transaction KE21 is used for one entry at a time. We need to perform the mass data transfer. We also checked the BAPI BAPI_COPAACTUALS_POSTCOSTDATA. It clearly says that it is not for mass data transfer. Also, it updates the CE4xxxx table only. We need the data posted to CE1xxxx table. Any ideas!!!
There is a transaction KEFC - External data transfer to CO-PA. Has anyone used it? Please provide your insight on this transfer method.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you.

Ashish,
We use KEFC on a regular basis to upload actual sales data to PA from a third system.
An upload file is created in Excel, saved as a TXT file. The structure of that excel file is equal to the structure defined in customizing: define data interface to find the structure and: define structure of external data transfer to see the respective values of the columns you need in your excel file.
Hope this works for you!

Determining File Name in Info Package under External Data

Determining File Name in Info Package under External Data
I am on SAP BW 3.0. A System is sending a flat file every few days
With a date time stamp, e.g., d:\loaddar\file_20080212_122300.csv
I know in Info Package one can create routine under external data to determine the file name. I have seen
Examples where people determine file name based on date. Since my file has a time stamp, what code I write a to pick the file. Is there a way to read one or more files and
Determine file name.
I am new to SAP BW and ABAP. However, I have lot of experience with Oracle and Java.
Can someone point me how this will be done. I am looking for some sample code as well.
Thanks in advance. I will really appreciate your help.

Hello Prem,
Even i used to get the file suffix with date & time, and i found very difficult to pick up the file from application server using routine in infopackge. Then i asked to change to date only and it was easy to pick the file using routine. But i think in your case files are coming more than once, in such a case you should write a small unix script to add these files and then convert into single file with date only and execute the infopackage to load it.
Cheers!
Sanjiv

FCHX - External data transfer file format

FCHX - External data transfer creates a one line row of AP checks. I need to convert this flat file to bank format specifications. I have a program to do this. My problem is how do I convert the one line row into multiple line rows so I can use this in my conversion program.

Hi Kotta
What for you have created structure? is it for BP or IO or CA?
These are the Std structures provided by SAP for loading master data:
rkct994 - BCA Insurance SENDER
rkct995 - Insurance Object
rkct996 - Contract Data
rkct997 - Partner Data SENDER
All these structures contains AKTYP field in it.
Can you post more details.

Trace file doesn't show any info about error

Dear all,
DB : 10.2.0.4
Solaris 5.10
We have a background program to do some activities in the Database.
Today ,when running the program we got the below error :
1) 20221: errexit, ORA-00001: unique constraint (MEDS.MED_USER_EQUS_HIST_PK) violated.
I ran a trace of this session and the trace file doesnt have any info about the error..ran trace using the below command :
exec sys.DBMS_SUPPORT.START_TRACE_IN_SESSION(2166,30629, false,TRUE);
why is that the trace file doesn't have any info about the error.
2) I disable the constraint disable novalidate.
even then I got the same error .. why is the constraint getting validate even if I disable the constraint ?
Please guide
Kai

As usual this question has documented answers, and you are asking this question, because you consistently refuse to read any documentation. So in your case the answer could have been 'Yes, there is. See the docs'.
You could actually say you are in gross violation of the forums etiquette post, and are abusing this forum.
If you would have read the docs, you wouldn't have used dbms_support (which was never supported for end-users), but you would have looked at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_monitor.htm#i1003679
and what do you see?
The life of a DBA can be so easy when he makes an attempt to find information himself!
He doesn't have to wait until some kind soul answers doc question 779!

Any info about ADF WebServices and pass data from one VO to another VO?

Hi, i need to do a webservice for synchronize two tables in two db... there are any info, articles, tutorials or examples about this? preferably the part of data copying between VO...
Thanks in advance.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do and why would you need a Web service for this - but it seems like having an AM service method is what you should be using.

About eCATT and Data Transfer

Hi,
I have a confusion.
Can I consider eCATT as a standard data transfer tool.What may its greater advantage be?
Thank you

SAP CATT - Computer Aided Test Tool
Just sharing my experiences with CATT (although, I have not used this feature in the last 2 years or so !).
Simply, any one in SAP can use this tool as long as you can access to the tcode. I used CATT atleast in 3 different SAP modules. Typically, in SAP projects, CATT execution is a favorite task for "technical" associates. When the technical resources are either not available immediately or their plate is full with other important tasks, functional associates can simply jump into this activity, since there is no coding or programming involved. This tool has been a great gift from SAP since I am a functional person and could not do coding ! I can remember at least 30 or 40 occassions where I used CATT to get this and that done.
Below find few examples:
1. Created multiple sales orders (excess of 200) in a matter of minutes for the purpose of end user training
2. Created multiple purchase ordes (excess of 200) in a matter of minutes for the purpose of end user training
3. Created Deliveries for the sales orders in a matter of minutes for the purpose of end user training
4. Created config. entires, if the volume of records is large. I remember once I entered 900 records.
5. Extensively used in preparing the transactional data for the purpose of archiving. It worked impeccably.
6. Loading of master data (example: material groups)
Note: Upon execution of CATT, it is very possible that some records will fail, which have to be addressed manually. SAP really needs to further enhance this area of CATT because, there is no easy way of identifying the failed ones, it has to be done manually. One workaround is simply download the result into an Excel and using sort feature of Excel, identify the failed ones and deal with them manually.

CATT stands 4 Computer Aided Testing Tool
Although CATT is meant for as a testing tools, many SAP users have now use CATT frequently to upload vendors master data and make changes to other master record.
SAP Consultant and Abapers tends to used it for creating test data.
With CATT, you don't have to create any ABAP upload programs and this save on development time. However, you still have to spend time on data mapping into the spreadsheet format.
The transactions run without user interaction. You can check system messages and test database changes. All tests are logged.
What CATT does is record you performing the actual transaction once.
You then identify the fields that you wish to change in that view.
Then export this data to a spreadsheet to populate with the data required.
This is uploaded and executed saving you keying in the data manually.
To perform CATT, it has to be enabled in your production environment (your systems administrator should be able to do this - SCC4).
You will also need access to your development system to create the CATT script.
User Guide for Data Upload
The use of CATT is for bulk uploading of data. Although CATT is primarily a testing tool, it can be used for the mass upload of data. The way CATT works is like a real user actually inputting on the SAP screen. You prepare a set of data that are required to be input into the system and execute what you called a Test Case and CATT will do the boring task of keying for you.
Over-all procedure
The over-all procedure to upload data using CATT is as follows:
· Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input.
· Download of the source file template.
· Modification of the source file.
· Upload of the data from the source file.
Details of each step are provided in the following paragraphs.
Detailed Procedure
Creation of the CATT test case:
Creation of the test case is completed as follows:
· Execute Transaction SCAT
· Name the test case. Test case name must start with Z. It is also good practise to include the transaction code in
the test case name (e.g. Z_IE01_UPLOAD for the upload of equipment)
· Click the Record button.
· Enter the transaction code (e.g. IE01)
· Continue recording the transaction. Ensure data is entered into every field that is to be used during the upload.
· Save the test case.
Download the source file template
Download of source file template is conducted in two stages as follows:
· Creation of import parameters:
· Within transaction SCAT, Double Click on the TCD line in the Maintain Functions screen.
· Click the Field List button (Field list is displayed).
· For every field that you wish to upload data, double click in the Column New field contents (This creates an
import parameter).
· In the Maintain Import Parameter Pop-Up:
· Delete the default value if not required.
· Press Enter
· The New field contents column now contains the character & followed by the field name (e.g. &EQART). This
is the name of the import parameter.
· Repeat this for every field (in every screen) to be uploaded.
· Back out and save the CATT test case
· Download of source file template:
· Use the path GOTO -> Variants -> Export Default
· Select path and file name (e.g. C:TEMPZ_IE01_UPLOAD.TXT)
· Click Transfer
Modify the source file
The downloaded source file template is now populated with the data that is to be uploaded. This is completed as follows:
· Using Excel, open the tab-delimited text file.
· Do not change any of the entries that already exist.
1st row contains the field names.
2nd row contains the field descriptions.
3rd row displays the default values which are set in the test case.
4th row contains a warning that changing the default values in the spreadsheet has no effect on the actual default values.
· The data to be uploaded can be entered in the spreadsheet from row 4 onwards (delete the 4th row warning &
replace with data for upload).
· Save the file as a Text file (Tab delimited).
Upload data from the source file
Uploading the data is completed as follows:
· Execute the CATT test case
· In the Execute screen:
· Set processing mode to Errors or Background (your choice).
· Set variants to External from file.
· Click the Choose button and select the file to be uploaded.
· If uploading to another client, click the Remote execution button and select the RFC connection to the required client.
· If uploading to the current client, click the execute button.

General Questions about SEM-BCS Data Transfer

Please help me guys ! I need a clearer picture as to how exactly the loading of data should be done to SAP SEM-Busines Consolidation
Q1) Can I specify the Basic Cubes in my Data Basis Streams that I use for FI & CO in BCS-Workbench ? Or do I need to switch these cubes to Transactional, so it can be used in SEM-BCS ?
Q2) or Do I have to export the data out of my FI & CO cubes in BW to a FLAT FILE, and then load the Flat File into custom Transactional Cubes ?
Q3) Usually, for SEM-BCS would there be any direct connection to SAP R/3 or it`s via BW ?
Please help me with these initial issues guys ! Very much appreciated!

Hi Eugene,
   Great man! You`re back!...Nice to hear from yourself
   Anyways, I still am struggling to understand the Intergration from SEM-BCS with BW and/or R/3. If you have any material that can help me understand the intergration would be helpful.
   So, I had a look into the SAP Note 689229
   It says, all changes of master data nad hierarchies have to be made via the application layer by means of application SEM-BCS :-
a) By Flexible Upload
b) Manually in Consolidation Workbench
c) In Subordinate systems from transports
Hence, am I correct to assume that the only 2 options are permitted: Option (a) Flat File (b) Manually define the master data in BCS-Workbench ?
    So, now assuming that I need to define Consolidation Items into SEM-BCS.
Because there's too many, I would go with option (b) Flat File.
So, I create a Flat File containing the Consolidation Items. Next, how do I get this loaded into BCS-Console ?
Do I have to create a Transactional Info Cube and then load this Consolidation Items Flat File into it? Then following from there, I specify this Transactional Info Cube in my Data Stream ? or
Is there a way, I can directly read the Flat File from SEM-BCS ?
I use the following Info Cubes as source to my Data Basis:-
                   <b>Data Target | Virtual InfoProvider</b>
TOTAL RECORDS =   0BCS_C50    |     0ECCS_C05
DOCUMENTS     =   0BCS_DS12   |     0BCS_VC12
   P/S: We don`t use the SAP R/3 ECCS Module

Any info about Persona 4 Arena pre-order gift?

Was wondering if anybody at Best Buy could find out if the game will get the cd soundtrack. When it comes to Atlus games Best Buy is never advertised in getting them, but I heard they do get them (can't officially say since I've never bought an Atlus game at Best Buy). I've heard it will be similar to King of Fighters XIII where the first run copies will get the cd and you don't really need to preorder it. Any info is good. I'll probably preorder it tomorrow anyways since I have gift cards. I was just hoping I could get the soundtrack too.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just to add, every single copy of the game (Xbox 360 or PS3) I've seen at every store (Best Buy included) has the cd soundtrack. It's a first print run bonus and seems the game isn't really selling or there was a huge printing of them.
