Best practice data source from ECC 6.0 for legal consolidation in BPC NW7.5

Hi there,
after scanning every message in this forum for "data source" I wonder if there isn't any standard approach from SAP to extract consolidation data from ECC 6.0. I have to say that my customer is not using New g/l so far and therefore the great guide "how to get balances from ECC 6.0 ..." does not fully work for us.
Coming from the old world of EC-CS there is the first option to go via the GLT3 table. This option requires clever customization and the need to keep both GLT0 and GLT3 in line. Who has experiences regarding maintenance of these tables in a production environment?
We therefore plan to use data source 0FI_GL_4 which contains all line items to the financial documents posted. Does this approach make sense or will it fail because of performance issues?
Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Dierk

Hi Dierk,
Do you have a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor? Normally I would recommend going for the basic 0FI_GL_6 extractor, which provides a much more manageable data volume since it only gives the periodic activity and balances as well as a much smaller selection of characteristics. Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0a/558cabb2e19a4db3097b81bba4fd0e/frameset.htm]
Despite this initial recommendation, every client I've had has eventually had a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor (or the New G/L equivalent - 0FI_GL_14). Most BW systems can handle the output of the line-item extractors without much issue, but you should test using production data and make sure your system sizing takes into account the load.
The major problem you can run into with the line-item extractors is that if your delta somehow gets compromised it can take a very long time (days, sometimes weeks) to reinitialize and this can cause a large load in your ECC and BW system. Also, for the first transport to production, it is important to plan time to initialize the delta.

Best Practice in Upgrade from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0

Question - Best practice data source for Vs2008 and Crystal Reports 2008

I have posted a question here
CR2008 using data from .NET data provider (ADO.NET DATASET from a .DLL)
but think that perhaps I need general community advise on best practice with data sources.
In Crystal reports I can choose the data source location from any number of connection types, eg ado.net(xml), com, oledb, odbc.
Now in regard to the post, the reports have all been created in Crxi 6.3, upgraded to Crystal XI and now Im using the latest and greatest. I wrote the Crystal Reports 6.3/ XI reports back in the day to do the following: The Reports use a function from COM Object which returns an ADO recordset which is then consumed fine.
So I don't want to rewrite all these reports, of which there are many.
I would like to know if any developers are actually using .NET Class libraries to return ADO.NET datasets via the method call or if you are connecting directly to XML data via whatever source ( disk, web service, http request etc).
I have not been able to eliminate the problem listed in the post mentioned above, which is that the Crystal Report is calling the .NET class library method twice before displaying the data. I have confirmed this by debugging the class lib.
So any guidance or tips is appreciated.
Thanks

This is already being discuss in one of your other threads. Let's close this one out and concentrate on the one I've already replied to.

Best Practices Data Extract from Essbase

Hi there,
I have been looking for information on Best Practices to extract data from Essbase (E).
Using MDX I initially wanted to bulk extract data from E but apparently the process was never ending.
As a 2d choice, I went for a simulation of an interactive interaction and got ODI generating MDX queries requesting smaller data sets.
At the moment more than 2000 mdx queries are generated and sequentially sent to E. I takes some times ....
Has anyone be using other approaches ?
Awaiting reaction.

What method are you using to extract, what version are you on including patch

Reference Data Imports from ECC

All of a sudden our reference data imports from ECC to ESourcing are failing with this error.
            "is either unknown data type or it is missing the required DataType(..) declaration"
They used to work. Can someone point me towards the place to check for the issue? There is a DataType Declaration at the top of the data file (see example) and the data file format has not been changed.
                #DataType(masterdata.Currency)
                "DISPLAY_NAME","DOCUMENT_DESCRIPTION","IN_EURO","DISPLAY_PRECISION","STORAGE_PRECISION"
                "ADP","Andoran peseta" "","0","0"

NOTE - I changed brackets to parantheses in the two indented lines above to make them stop appearing as html links.

Turned out that there were unprintable characters at the front of the files...caused by the encoding used in the source ECC system ABAP program.

Transporting migrated data sources from BID to BIQ

All,
I have a 3.x data source which I have migrated to 7.x. Now I want to transport this from BI-D to BI-Q. when I replicate the data source in BI-Q this is likely to be 3.x data source. Will it be overwritten when I transport the data source from BI-D to BI-Q. Is there any thing that I will have to do before moving the transport. Please advise

If you transport the DataSource on R3/ECC from development to QA that's connected to your BW QA, and then transport the DataSource from your BW development to QA environment, there is no need to replicate the DataSource. It may, however, come into your BW QA environment in a deactivated state. If that happens, just activate it in the BW QA environment using the SAP delivered ABAP program RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL.

How to load best practices data into CRM4.0 installation

Hi,
We have successfully installed CRM4.0 on a lab system and now would like to install the CRM best practice data into it.
If I refer to the CRM BP help site http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm,
It looks like I need to install at least the following In order to run it properly.
C73: CRM Essential Information
B01: CRM Generation
C71: CRM Connectivity
B09: CRM Replication
C10: CRM Master Data
B08: CRM Cross-Topic Functions
I am not sure where to start and where to end. At the minimum level I need the CRM Sales to start with.
Do we have just one installation CDs or a number of those, Also are those available in the download area of the service.sap.com?
Appreciate the response.

<b>Ofcourse</b> you need to install Best Practices Configuration, or do your own config.
Simply installing CRM 4.0 from the distibutiond CD\DVD will get you a plain vanilla CRM system with no configuration and obviously no data. The Best Practices guide you trhough the process of configuring CRM, and even has automated some tasks. If you use some of the CATT processes of the Best Practices you can even populate data in your new system (BP data, or replace the input files with your own data)
In 12 years of SAP consulting, I have NEVER come across a situation whereby you simply install SAP from the distribution media, and can start using it without ANY configuration.
My advise is to work throught the base configuration modules first, either by importing the BP config/data or following the manual instruction to create the config/data yourself. Next, look at what your usage of CRM is going to be, for example Internet Sales, Service Management, et cetera, and then install the config for this/these modules.

Error in generating data source from planning area

Hi experts! I have an error while making data source from planning area:
after the screen when i fill in the data source name (Window name: Generate export data source) i have the SYNTAX_ERROR Message:
Syntax error in program /sapapo/cl_im_extract_ex======cp
the main reason: the type /BI0/9A0IVWKNDGD is unknown
what you can suggest to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Dear Andrey Kudriavzev,
The reason is the program is trying to use the datatype '/BI0/9A0IVWKNDGD' which does not exist in the system.
Go SE11 to cross check if it exists. Check dataelement radiobutton -> enter /BI0/9A0IVWKNDGD -> Choose display option. You would need to create this datatype in the system. I feel there must some OSS Note related to this.
Search for an OSS Note. Raise one if you cannot find the relevant notes.

How to take XML data source from URL?

Hi,
I creating application which need to download some data from any web page. This page is creating via XSL (as stylesheet) .This XSL
process some XML "data source" and generate HTML page. I wanna ask if exist some way how to take this XML "data source"? If i used
URL and take InputStream I everytime obtain full generated HTML, JavaScript page - compiled by web browser. But if i look to "page
source" of this page in web browser i see just that XML data source which i need to take (only at start of this xml is way to xsl
style sheet).
But this problem i have only at my required page.If i tried to take another page with similar structure code, it was succesful.
Here is link : LINK
Why i dont have permision take clear xml from this page?What is so special?
Exist some way how to take this XML without generated html code?
Thank you.

I apologize for my english. I try explain my problem again:
At this url [http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677] is web page. If you look at "page source", web page is create via XML and XSLT. I need load this data source. I used DOMParser for that:
URL url = new URL("http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677");
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(url);
XMLDocument doc = parser.getDocument();I get exception : Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParserException: Expected '?>' instead of 'EOF'
If i used it at another page (for example [http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml|http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml] ), compile was successful and i can work with this XMLDocument and etc.
I try load it by InputStreamReader too:
URL url = new URL("http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677");
try {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine() != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace
}i get only compiled HTML code by web browser. At second page i load successfuly XML data - not compiled by browser.
Is possible to take original xml page source from this page? And what diferent is between this pages?
Thank you and i hope, you can translate this post without headache :-) If it will be necessary, i can more specify some details.

How to replicate Generic data source from R/3 to BI

Hi,
I have created generic datasource in r/3 using view. I replicated to BI.
I selected for DataSource (RSDS) instead of selecting 3.x DataSouce.
Now what r the steps to load data into cube.
Please help me in this regard. Please give me detail steps to proceed further.
Thanks,

Hi,
About Generic Extraction:
In Sometimes the Standard Extraction Does not Satisfy the Customers Needs that time We have to use Generic Extraction.
generic extraction is also classified in to three types
using
1. View
2.Infoset query
3.Function module.
Procedure:
-->Go to Tcode : RSo2,
-->There give the name of data source which you want to create like
transaction data source or master data attribue or Text data source.
-->enter
-->again in the next screen you need to give application like SD or MM
etc
-->in the same screen need to select table/view or infosetquery or
function module. these are different ways of creating data sources.
-->Give the name for the same like if u r creating data source on table
give the name of table.
-->click on Generic delta which will there in application tool bar and
fil the required columns in that screen like type of delta and all
-->continue and save
-->it will give all the fieds
-->enable the check boxes based on your requirement like selection or
hide or field only..
-->save

How to do basic LO extraction for SAP-R3-BW
1. Go to transaction code RSA3 and see if any data is available related to your DataSource. If data is there in RSA3 then go to transaction code LBWG (Delete Setup data) and delete the data by entering the application name.
2. Go to transaction SBIW --> Settings for Application Specific Datasource --> Logistics --> Managing extract structures --> Initialization --> Filling the Setup table --> Application specific setup of statistical data --> perform setup (relevant application)
3. In OLI*** (for example OLI7BW for Statistical setup for old documents : Orders) give the name of the run and execute. Now all the available records from R/3 will be loaded to setup tables.
4. Go to transaction RSA3 and check the data.
5. Go to transaction LBWE and make sure the update mode for the corresponding DataSource is serialized V3 update.
6. Go to BW system and create infopackage and under the update tab select the initialize delta process. And schedule the package. Now all the data available in the setup tables are now loaded into the data target.
7.Now for the delta records go to LBWE in R/3 and change the update mode for the corresponding DataSource to Direct/Queue delta. By doing this record will bypass SM13 and directly go to RSA7. Go to transaction code RSA7 there you can see green light # Once the new records are added immediately you can see the record in RSA7.
8.Go to BW system and create a new infopackage for delta loads. Double click on new infopackage. Under update tab you can see the delta update radio button.
9.Now you can go to your data target and see the delta record.
find your scenario and find what data sources do you need on R3 side and ensure they are active as well:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/37/5fb13cd0500255e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
find your scenario -> data sources -> go to R3 -> sbiw and activate required data source
replicate data sources in BW:
RSA1 -> source systems -> right click on your source system -> replicate
then activate your BC:
service.sap.com/bi -> BI Business Content -> General Information -> SAP BW Business Content - Activation
and execute infopackage (it should be delivered with BC)

Best practice video conversion from download

I am looking for best practice for video conversions.
I am downloading adobe recordings via this method:
http://server.adobeconnect.com/xyz/output/filename.zip?download=zip
From here, I have been converting the FLVs using either freemake video converter or FLV converter. I have tried converting into AVI (XVID), MOV, WMV, etc. (I need the file to be under 600 MB for an hour of recording, therefore it is going to need some type of compression).
My goal is to import the video into Sony Vegas Pro 10 for further editting. I have found that whatever method I use, the video and audio does not sync properly about 50% of the time. The video time is longer than the audio time usually. Or that there are other various errors, such as the video just freezing halfway through the video.
I have been using connect for a few years now, but with each update I find (connect 8, 9, etc), that the problems are getting worse. At this point I am just wasting time trying to convert into various formats using various codecs just trying to luck upon one where the video is at least without error.
What methods are others using to convert the FLV to a workable editable format?

Can't the FLV files be changed into many different formats through Apple's
Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder? These formats can then be opened in
standard video editing software for editing.

Yes, I use this as a last resort, as the quality of capture this was is
signifcatnly lower. As well as it is a much more time consuming process. I
sometimes have over 50 parts of 1 hour video. To use camtasia, you need
first to record it, then it must be saved in a camtasia format, and then
lastly rendered into avi or wmv. Therefore, it is does take awhile.
Really, I feel there shouldnt be so many errors in the conversion process,
but I am finding the FLV recordings themselves have problems. This last
file I am looking at, even the recording playback on adobe connect, has
serious issues with audio and video sync. A problem that is all too common

Replication of Data Source from APO to External BI

Hi Experts,
I want to create a data source on DP/SNP planning area & replicate it directly to External BI instead of APO BW. Is it possible to replicate data source from APO to directly External BI? If yes then How?
Regards
Sujay

Hi Sujay,
If you would like to replciate a particular Data source then Go to BW -> TCode RSDS ( Data source Repository)
Data Source = ( specify which you would like to replciate )
Source system = Specify source system name.
Go to Menu option Data Source -> Replicate Data source or you can use CTRL + SHIFT + F2
These steps will replicate only the data source which you would like to replicate.
Thanks,
Siva.

How to delete Master Data transferred from ECC to APO via CIF

Hi, all
I'm connecting SCM 5.1 with ECC 6.0 via CIF.
When activating Integration Model in ECC, the following error occurred;
"Location 0001 of type 1001 (BSG 592BUSGP) already exists in APO"
This is because Location 0001 was already transferred from different ECC client via CIF, and not cleared.
I'm now trying to initialise master data transferred from ECC to APO via CIF, but in vain.
I suppose I have to first delete all master data CIFed from ECC in APO, or have to execute initialisation of APO master data with ECC data in ECC.
Please tell me how to do this.
For details, please read the followings;
I connected APO client with ECC client 590.
I transferred Plant and Material Master from ECC to APO via CIF.
After that, I wanted to change ECC client from 590 to the other.
I created the other client (592) by client-copying from 590 with SAP_ALL copy profile.
I deactivated Integration Model in ECC 590, and activated the same in ECC 592.
Here, I faced the problem.
The initial data transfer failed due to the duplicate of data.
Now I'm wondering how I can initialise master data in APO and transfer initial data from ECC.
Due to testing purposes, I have to change ECC clients from one to the other this time, but I cannot initialise master data in APO and cannot tansfer initial data from different ECC client.
thanks in advance,
Hozy

Hi all,
Thank you very much indeed for lots of your replies.
Thanks to all of your advices, I'm getting to understand what to do.
Well, I'll say I have to create one more client for testing with other ECC clients or I have to rebuild the client by client-copying from 001 and implementing all transportation requests, for marking del flags to each master data and running del programme sound like tough work, and sound like odd ..
Then, I've got next issue here.
In SCM-APO, I use BI objects, and , if I have to create several clients for testing, I have to set up clients where you can use both BI objects and CIFed master data.
I suppose I have to change 'BWMANDT' in RSADMINA and make RSA1 accessable in other SCM clients and implement tests.
Also, I have to register BI System for newly created SCM clients in RSA1-SourceSystem.
Well, if you have any experiences on this kind of use, and if you have any advice on it, please give me any tips.
Particulary, I'd appreciate very much if you give me advice on which way you have chosen; creating several clients or rebuilding the one client in SCM-APO when you use both BI objects, CIFed master data and Demand Planning.
Thanks in advance.
