BI Source system (critical issue)

Hi Friends,
I am working as a basis consultant.
we have a ECC6 Development server and in the same server we hav installed BI-Cont and using as a BI Dev sever too.
Client - 400 is R/3 Develop server
Client - 300 is BI Develop server
we cofigured 400 client as a source system for bi(300) and lot of develpments are made.
Now we are planning to make this ECC6 DEV as a Production server for BI. (simultaniously R/3 developments also will happen in the same server).
Now i have Created a new client-500 for BI(Production) in the same server and i want to add our R/3 Production server client-900(different server) as a Source system.
1 I maintained RS_MANDT_UNIQUE_SET and set to client 500.
2 I maintained table RSADMINA and set client 500
and BW_user
3 Created RFC between client 500 to PRD server client 900
now when i tried RSA1 Transaction in BI PRD client 500, it says "Logical system name has been changed for this system" "Message no. R3206"
when i see the long text it says
"The logical system name of this system is PRDCLNT500. However, this system was originally created with the logical system name DEVCLNT300. It is not permitted to change the logical system name, as connections to other systems will be damaged beyond repair.
System Response
The transaction is canceled.
Procedure
Change the name of the logical system (table T000) for client back to DEVCLNT300. This enables you to continue working with the system.
If you really want to change the logical name, than you can, if and when you:
change the system name back to DEVCLNT300,
delete all existing connections between this system and other systems,
delete all transfer structures that still exist, and
do not use ALE or Workflow."
1 I tried to remove the source system from 300, but it is prompting to delete lot of packages and it is going for a while. so i stopped it.
2 I removed all the RFC Connections between 300-400
3 I deleted the logical system "DEVCLNT300".
Still the same Issue "Logical system name has been changed for this system".
Please help me Resolving this issue, since this issue became so critical.
Thanks in advance
Prakash

Thank you for Replying
I know the landscape we are having will confuse.
In ECC6 DEV Server a new client 500 is created for BI Producion server (not exactly prod but assume like that).
There is seperate R/3 Production server (client-900) and that shud be configured as a source system for the new BI PRD Client 500.
I dont want any data from 300, infact i would delete the 300client (BIdevclt) after i configure everything in client 500.
I did all the BI post installation steps for client 500.( including RS_MANDT_UNIQUE_SET)
but since the 300 client was configured as BW dev in the same server, i am getting an error if i access RSA1 in client 500 "Logical system name has been changed for this system" "Message no. R3206"
I went through the BDLSS transaction, but it talks about converting logical system and i dont want to do that.
Client400 is configured as source system for bi dev 300. I want to delete all the configuration made in 300.
I want to know deleting the souce client manually from BI dev 300 client is the only way to fix this or anything else we could do it for this ERROR.

Source system connection issues

Hello BI Experts,
We had issues with the source system connection - from our BI system (NW 04s) to our R/3 system (ECC 6.0) .
From RSA1, when we right click on the R3 source sytem and do a "Check", it was erroring out: "Error in source system <Logsysname1>". This Logsysname1 was different one from the actual R/3 system's Logsys name (Logsysname2) .
To Fix this, we restored the connection by selecting the (R/3) Source system and right click and "Restore".
After providing the passwords for the RFC users, the system again asked "The Connection <XY> is used in the <Logsysname1> Source system as a connection." And we selected the "Delete" option here. Then in the Logon screen to R/3, we provided the administrator user Id and password.
Once the source system connection is complete, we checked the connection as mentioned above and the "Source Sytem connection is OK" now.
(1) But now, in the transaction RSA1, the R/3 system is displayed under "BI" instead of "SAP".
(2) When we asked our BI consultant to check the dataloads, he encountered an error: "No transfer structure is available for InfoSource <X> in the Source system. Errors in Source system".
How can we bring the R/3 system under "SAP" now?
If we delete the R/3 system (which is listed under BI) and recreate under "SAP", will the transfer rules will also get deleted?? How to avoid this issue?
Please advise.
John
SAP Basis.

Hi,
Please make sure that you have followed the below steps while creating the Source System
1.     In the initial screen of the source system, choose Tools ® Administration ® User Maintenance ® Users and create a background user with a password and the authorization profile S_BI-WX_RFC.
2.     Define the RFC destination parameters for the SAP source system in BW. To do this, choose Tools ® Administration ® Administration ® Network ® RFC Destinations in BW.
Enter the information taken from the source system on the server name.
u2022     Application server: pswdf090
u2022     System ID: IDF
u2022     System number: 90
The destination name has to correspond to the logical name of the source system that you entered for the process step Define Logical System in the implementation guide for the source system. For user and password, enter the background user that you created in step 1.
3.     Define the RFC destination parameters for the SAP BW in the source system. To do this, select Tools ® Administration ® Administration ® Network ® RFC Destinations in the source system. Enter the server name information taken from the BW system.
The destination name has to correspond to the logical name of the BW system that you entered in the process step Define Logical System in the BW Customizing Implementation Guide. ALE communicates using the name of the SAP Business Information Warehouse that you defined. The defined name represents how the SAP Business Information Warehouse is identified. For the user and password, enter the background user that you defined in the BW Customizing Implementation Guide under Business Information Warehouse ® Links to Other Systems ® Link Between SAP Systems and BW.
4.     Test both RFC destinations with the functions Test ® Connection and Test ® Authorization.
If an error occurs during the authorization check, the background user is not permitted in this client and with this password. If an error occurs in the connection test, it means there is a network problem.
5.     In the BW Administrator Workbench choose SOURCESYSTEMTREE ® Root ® Context Menu (right mouse button) ®Create and select the radio button for the manually creating an SAP source system.
6.     Enter a description for the source system and the logical name of the source system that you entered for the process step Maintain Logical System in the source system implementation guide.
If you still have any issues, let us know.

Yogesh.

RSA1 Source System Hierarchy Issue (SRCTYPE of RSBASIDOC)

Dear Experts,
Greetings to you all and thanks in advance for your valuable responses!
I am stuck here with a BW issue again. The issue is:
We have a DS connection, which earlier used to get displayed under DATASERVICES node, but I don't who/what changed what/how and now it gets displayed under External System. No matter what I do, it still stays there and due to this we are having issues in Data Extraction.
This our DEV system and in QA we don't have this issue. I don't know what/where to compare.
Earlier, I had the same display issue (but that was an R/3 system) which was solved by 1087980. Still I tried:
Deleted the entry with RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT.
Recreated the entry under Data Services node, but it still didn't work. It jumped back to External System.
I have compared the tables and found that the SRCTYPE in RSBASIDOC is responsible for all this it should be 'X' instead of 'B'.
Can we change this manually from SAP level? If yes, then how and if no, then is there any alternative?
Thanks,
Avishek

Hi Avishek,
Check whether the sapnote 1692642 - Data Services source system for 3.x DataSources
is relevant to your system or not.
If relevant , then apply it and recreate the source system.

Source System Connection Issue after BI 7 Upgrade

Hi all,
We have just upgraded from BW 3.1 to BI 7.
After the upgrade, I checked the connection to our R3 4.6 source system.
It is now saying the following message:
Source system XXX is marked as inactive in BI.
Check failed for RFC connection XXX ; check destination
After going through the RFC connection, I tested the connection for this source system. It said OK. While doing the authorization test, it said: "Name or password is incorrect. Please re-enter".
The thing is that our name & password ARE correct definitely.
Is there any issues post upgrade because authorization stuff between R.3 4.6 (PI 2004.1 SP15) and BI 7?
Any ideas?
Thank you
chris

Hi,
as from NW7.0, passwords are case-sensitive.
If you define the passwords in the RFC in uppercase, it will work.
This is a problem when you link an 'old' (not NW 7.0) system to a NW 7.0 (as in this one, passwords are case-sensitive).

Remote Process Chains Source Systems mapping issues

Hi,
We have a process chain in APO system, which upon success calls another process chain in BW.   We recently implemented SCM5/BI7, and taking the advantage of remote chains functionality to call the BW chain from APO.
However, when we transported the APO process chain from DEV to QA, the source systems in the remote chain are still pointing to DEV systems.   We were expecting to see both APO and BW source systems getting switched from DEV to QA.
We have already verified the logical mappings for Sources Systems are in place under RSA1 | Transport Connect | Conversion.   Also, the source systems seem to map correctly for other objects like data sources etc..   Only issue is with the remote chain.
Is there any other setting which need to be set to make it work.   Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ravi Chitluru.

Ravi,
I have a similar situation. Can you explain how to run process chains in APO which can gets data from BW cubes, which in turn gets data from R/3.
In this equation R/3->BW->APO, what are the options like 1)run process chains in BW system to pull data from R/3 into BW and run process chains to load BW data into APO 2)run remote process chains to pull data from R/3 into APO(of course via BW).

Source System Creation issue in BI

Hi Everyone,
I have already created RFC Connection in BW and EC(BackGround Users are ALEREMOTE and BWREMOTE). I am able to login using Remote Login from SM59 from BW to ECC and Vice versa. After this , When I try to create a Source System, it asks me to provide the ALEREMOTE and BWREMOTE Passwords along with the Source System Name.
I provide all the details.
Then the System asks me to login as a Administrator into ECC. And Once, I login, it throws up an error RFC Connection failed.
I think I am missing some steps.Please provide your inputs.
Regards,
Samir

Hi Ananda,
Thanks for your response. I did the same. Created Background users and when Try to Create a Source System ,it prompts me to R/3 side and here it is showing as RFC Failed. Remote Logon is working. But when Icreate a source System and provide password details, it fails.
Please advice.Is there any password restrictions for Background users.I maintained it as "init123". Do we need to use Capitals. And once, we provide the initial password, do we need to change it again somewhere?
Thanks and Regards,
Samir

Source System - Deletion issues

Hi everyone,
I´m facing an upcoming problem in my BI 7.0 project and I would like to minimize the consequences of the situation as following:
The Basis team, for some reasons, is going to eliminate in DEV the client (eg. 200) that I have all my connections set with BI and will create another one (eg. 230). The same thing is going to happen with QA environment (300 -> 330). Production will remain the same (400)
What would be the best way to reconnect all Infoproviders and Infoobjects with this new source system ? Logically, I will have to put everything in a request and sent it later to QA to restore all the connections in this environment. The major work will be done in DEV environment.
I just want to know if there´s way to reconnect everything not manually. I have both 3.5 (Master Data) and 7.0 (Transactional) Datasources.
Thanks in advance,
Fábio

Hello,
I believe what you can do is following the steps in the PDF "How To - System Copy in SAP Business Intelligence System Landscapes" https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bff13df2-0c01-0010-6ba7-bc50346a6fd8
I did not require a transport either.
I had a similar action occur when my R3 QAS system got replaced, it had a new Physical and Logical name as well as a new client number.
I followed Section 3.7 "System refresh of source system without copying the SAP BW system in parallel (LSN "Option 2")"
We were on R3 4.6c and BW 3.5 at the time.
Maybe that will help you!

No PSA for Infosource X and source system Y. Here Y is the flat file source

Hi,
We are facing an issue while transporting from dev s/m to quality. There is no PSA for Infosource X and source system Y. Here Y is the flat file source system this issue we are getting while transporting transfer rules.We are checked in OSS notes 518426. Its not helpful.
Thanks
Manjula

Hi
Try RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL (SE38).
You may also check SAP Note 861890 - ODS tables disappear during the upgrade -
and activate all ODS Objects before the upgrade and run the program RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE.
also that with Stack 14 an extended version of this program is available together with the
Program RSUPGRCHECK. If errors occurs, consult also SAP Note 518426 and run transaction
RSSGPCLA for the regeneration of the RSDRO_* Objects.
Recheck whether you have Exported with correct parameters or not -- Try to Re Export the Same with all necessary objects .
Try Note 524554 and 325525 also
Hope it helps and clear

RSA1 - Source system(R3 - BI) restore issue

HI Everyone,
I am trying to restore my source system(R3) from BI from RSA1. iam getting some error.
Error:
Source system cannot use any of the proposed connection names
Message no. RSAR362
Diagnosis
Every connection to a source system is named using a unique two-digit identifier. Source system SAPSQ1 does not accept any of the proposed values.
The last proposed value was BA.
System Response
Source system has not been connected.
Procedure
If you want to recreate the source system from BI information, then you can only use a single value, namely BA, because the connection already has this name in BI.
Delete the existing connections in the source system or contact a BI consultant.
I checked the table RSBASIDOC also. The Target BI logical system is not present. CHecked the partner profile & IDOC Ports also.
RFC connection is also working fine
We recently performed R3 system refresh
please help me resolve this issue since its a critical issue which neds to be resolved immediately
thanks & Regards,
Siva

If you have done system refresh then to restore the connections you have to follow the below note as per your scenario
Note 886102 - System Landscape Copy for SAP NetWeaver BW
Only then the connection can be restored

Issue in source system creation under sap node

hi,
i am facing a strage issue here while creating a sap source system.
i have two development systems - bd1 for bi development, rd1 for r/3 development. rfc is propely maintained between both of the systems. now im creating the source sytsem under transaction rsa1 - source sytem - sap, i put in all the details and it prompts me to log in to the source system as well. it creates the system properly but the problem is that im creating it under the node sap and it goes under the node bi.
i have deleted it from there and repeated the same process again but still everytime it comes only under the node bi irrespectiv e of the thing that im creating it under sap.
this is the first time im facing this strange issue i have done the same process many time but never seen nething like this, does anyone have any idea for the same.
kindly give ur inputs.
thanks

Hi Dipika,
It is not an operational issue. Its just a display and should not have any problems.
Please go through the below SAP Note to fix the issue.

Source System(Logical system) issue

Hi All,
Recently we have done QA refresh & copied with production data.
For 0vendor master data we are extracting data from ECC source system. When I was trying to execute the DTP it is pointing older source system. We tried to create new DTP but when I'm executing still it is showing older system.
By using RSBKDTP_BDLS program I forcefully tried to convert old source system to new source system but we are unable to solve this issue.
Here I'm attaching the issue .Please help on this issue.
Best Regards,
Sammar.K

Hi Ram,
I have compared Production & QA system entry's in RSLOGSYSMAP Table.

source       target
qa6             qa6
we found in qa it is pointing wrong target.

Issues on Sources System ECC and BI

Dear Friends,
I m trying to get datas (extractions) from ECC 6.0 QA 110 to BI DEV 100. But I only have the Source System to the ECC 6.0 DEV without any data, this connections is working very well. I asked the Basis Consultant to do another connection of the BI DEV 100 with the ECC 6.0 QA 110 using RFC connections with Bitemote with sapall, between ECC and BI. He already did it and I can see at SPRO under SAP NetWeaver > SAP BIW > Links to Other Systems > General Connection Setting > Assign Logical System to Client, on both sides in BI and ECC. The question is, do I need to do Any configuration at the BI side to active (create?) this new Source System ECC 6.0 QA 110? I hope Im clear. Thanks in advance.
Antony

Hi Frank,
I can't imagine any issues compared to other installations. The only thing you need to take care about is that in BI you can only work in one client and in your ecc system you can have multiple clients to work in. These will be treaten as different source systems for your bw.

Siggi

Prod source system issue

Dear All,
I have an issue in production system.
We applied a patch in BI prod and r3 prod for data lineage...but after that all process chains failed when i checked in source system connection ...there was no connection..
Now i want to restore my r3 prod source system in BI system Please tell me how to do that.
regards
shweta

Hello,
First check in SM59 whether the connection for the source system exits. If it does not then contact the BASIS team for connection.
If the connection is fine, then you can right click on the source system in BI and choose restore option.
But beware restoring with set the timestamp for all the datasources for that source system.
It will take time as it will replicate and activate all the datasources.

Shashank

Hi Arun,
Thanks..
Your solution worked for all the datasources except one wherin I am getting a error message while activating the Transformation as "System setting does not allow changes to be made to the object XXXXXXX"
Please note the Transformation is in the ACTIVE but NOT EXECUTABLE state.
Find below the details description on the issue.
Message no. TO128
Diagnosis
The system and namespace change option set for this SAP System does not allow any changes to be made to object RSFO 4L8RD1B5MKEQI3WSPE5S8MR2O.
System Response
Editing is terminated, the object can only be displayed.
Procedure
If you want to edit the object RSFO 4L8RD1B5MKEQI3WSPE5S8MR2O in this SAP System, have your system administator set the SAP System to "modifiable" for this object.
This can affect the modifiability of the namespace &1 or the namespaces that correspond to the pattern &1, as well as the global setting of the system change option.
The system change option is set using the Transport Organizer tools (Transaction SE03). Expand the Administration node and execute the program Set system change option. The options are described there.

New Source System Issue

Hi
We are trying to connect new Source System to BW. It is ECC 5.0.
When I try to activate the Source System, it generates the following error:
<b>EDI: Partner profile not available
Entry in inbound table not found
Entry in outbound table not found
Entry in outbound table not found</b>
I checked WE20, it looks good. This is very similar to the current R/3 System (4.6). I was able to REPLICATE the DATASOURCE with no issues.
Can you please let me know, how this could be resolved.
Regards,
GPK.

Hi Guru's
The OSS note mentioned was a good one. I did check that OSS to ensure we were on track. There was no loop hole i got in regards to this issue.
I cannot say why it worked for me but I could tell what I did.
1. Deleted the source system, I creted.
2. Created the Source System back again.
3. It worked, but the only difference I noted was that, the icon of the source system is like the BW and not like the r/3 icon. I don't know WHY??
Thank you all for your support and advices.
Regards,
GPK.
