BI System in separate client in ERP system

Hello
Since we build small testing landscape with ERP 6.0 IDES I was looking for the solution how to add BI system in existing landscape
Two solutions are possible:
1 install BI on separate hardware - HERE I need to buy additional hardware
2 install BI content in existing system in order to be able to use it
Regarding second solution I have worked for a while with SAP eSOA Discovery system and remember that BI was installed on separate client on the same machine as ERP. This is the direction I would like to go. I already performed small test. In existing ERP IDES I created another client as a copy from client 000. I have created logical name for it as well. Afterwards I installed BI CONT 703. When I tried to run RSA1 on the new client I saw the message that it can run only on client 800, so i have edited RSDAMINA and changed client for BI. This does not solved because the next error message I have seen was "The logical system name has changed" (exit only). I tried to solve it by running BDLS but it did not solve the problem.
My questions are:
1. Is there any advantage to define separate client for BI. Maybe I should use existing client 800 and add BI content only. Are there any possible technical issues which can occur if I use one system and one client for testing some ERP functions/processes and sometimes some BI functions? Can full BI (with content) run on the same client as ERP ?
2. If I decide to define separate client, how do I cleanly move all BI functions from ERP client 800 to new client? I guess that some ERP functions might need some basic BI functionalities, so If I move BI to another client and RSA1 will not work on 800, then maybe I lost some possibilities and cause a manual work to redefine customizing.
Please note that both: ERP and BI will be use by a small group of people and performance is not an issue here. My goal is to reduce number of hardware.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Rafal

Hi
Somehow yes, but as I said:
I faced the problem with "The logical system name has changed" (exit only). I tried to solve it by running BDLS but it did not solve the problem.
This is why I asked about the proper approach. Your proposal is a little bit different to my last try, because you suggest to copy 800 to the new client. I have used 000 as a source for copy.
My main concern is what with some functionalities in client 800 if I move BI to the new client (this means RSA1 will not work in 800).
See here (though this is for solution manager): Re: BW / SolMan Logical System Change
This is why I considered using the same client for ERP and BI (only 800), but here I am not sure if there are some disadvantages (but compared to having Bi on different client, so database size is not an issue).
Do you know what will be wrong to use only client 800 and only add BI CONT to the system ? Do you know any SAP notes which says that this is wrong?

  • Error sending IDOC from external Java application to Sap ERP system

    Hi Experts!
    When I try to send Idoc from Java application to XI an error occurs : no service for system CLNTJAVA, client in Integration Server.
    My question is: What value the setSenderPort() is excepting?The Java third party business system's logical name or the ERP business system's logical name where the JCO can be found?I tried both of them, but still have the problem.
    Please help. I read all threads about this error, but non of those can help me.
    My relevant java sourcecode:
                doc.setSenderPort("CLNTJAVA");
    The XI documentation says that:In the case of non-SAP senders, the entry in the SNDPOR field is interpreted as a logical system name, and the corresponding business system is searched for in the runtime cache.
    Both case(third party business sytem and erp business system) I have configured the ID    i think correctly. I  made a business systems,I configured the adapter specific identifies,I  made the IDX1 port,I made the RFC destination,I polled the IDOC type with IDX2 transaction, I have made full cache refresh,I configured the INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI rfc destination,but I do not made any communication channels, receiver determinations, receiver agreement.

    I think the IDX1 port and the adapter specific identifiers are wrong. is it?

    Thank very much.

    Hi!
    My SNDPOR already set to my source business system's logical name if you check my configurations(JAVACLNT), so there is another problem unfortunately. I set SNDPRN to JAVA, but it still does not work.
    Check this configuration please(posted here:
    No service for system ... in Integration Directory)
    doc.setMessageType("ACC_DOCUMENT");
    doc.setRecipientPort("SAPSE1"); // get stuck in XI mapping if not set

    doc.setSenderPartnerType("LS");

    doc.setClient("100");
    Inside XI configuration integration builder

    In IDX1 trans
    <b>Port: SAP3MA</b> (Note that the 3MA here is matched against the IDoc Adapter and RFC adapter R/3 Sysytem ID: 3MA)
    (a not so well documented feature)
    Client: 100
    RFC Destination: SE1 (A SAP test system from where IDOC def can be imported, rfc dests are setup in SM59)
    I guess that your idx1 port name is the same as the SNDPOR value. I think it should be, because the XI is whatching the IDOC traffic in the idoc adapter port, so you should send the IDOC from external system to the adapter port. Is it right?
    My idx1 port is the same as my SNDPOR value in Java,but still came the error.

  • Schema of clients on BW system

    Hello,
    We have two servers for BI 7.0 instalation, one for DEV another for PROD.
    Could you suggest schema of clients that should be created on that BI 7.0 systems?
    How i know clients are "cross clients", so the best way is to create just one client for one server? Am i wrong?
    I want to have <b>Customizing, Sandbox, Quality assurance</b> clients in my DEV system.
    I am waiting for your advices.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Arunas Stonys

    Hi Arunas and Ruchit,
    The implementation of the technical client structure in a BI system is different than in ERP systems.  While Ruchit's answer is accurate for ERP systems -- that is, having multiple clients in the development system for different roles -- this is not the case for BI systems.  Many of the tables that would be considered "client dependent customizing" in a BI system do not contain the mandant, or client, field.  So, any customizing entries in these tables would be available in all clients created, thus defeating the purpose of having multi-clients in the first place.
    Also, the BI system identifies itself (for example, for the BW Administrator Workbench) with an "own system" connection that can only be setup in a single client. 
    So, BI systems must be operated in one single client only!  This client must NOT be either 000 or 066.
    An exception to this is if the usage type BI is sharing the instance with another usage type.  For example, you could have a system with <i>both</i> BI and ERP installed.  In this case, BI requires a dedicated client and you would have one (or multiple) client for ERP and one (and only one) client for BI.
    Best Regards,

  • Is there a way to find all config changes between clients and sap system

    We have our Dev system with clients
    310 - Developer make changes and create transport
    400 - Test client
    410 - a copy of our Production system (over 1 year ago0
    TST - this is our quality system with one client
    101
    Production system one client
    101
    I know if i do a database copy from Production to our TST system, both systems would be exact.
    Abaper Director wants to know all the configuration changes that are different between Devopment client 310 - Test and production.
    I told him that in development client 310 the abaper or functional users make most of the changes if they do  not get transported they would be missing.
    I cannot copy to client 310 otherwise we would loose all of our version management.
    Is there another way that I can see the config changes between all these clients.
    Thanks

  • RFC lookup to PI system or other ERP system.Which is better?

    Hello experts,
    I have a scenario[RFC>PI(RFCLOOKUP,SOAP LOOKUP)->SOAP] where I have to  fetch or update  the data in the table using RFC lookup in the mapping.
    To store or update  the data ,I have created a table in PI system and through RFC LOOKUP I am fetching the data in the message mapping.
                                                                                    Some PI developers prefers not to create this elements in the PI system  and suggested a way to create them in the ERP. 
    I wanted to crosscheck with you all  whether Lookup to PI system is better or to ERP system in terms of  performance, security and std maintenance.
    -Conceptually, they see PI as a communication tool, not the best option for storing data, which is an ERP function.                                                                               
    some prefer  ERP option  to Simplify the upgrade / system patching processes. As No Z-Objects makes the checking process much easier and there is no need to adapt those objects to the new release environment.     
    I appreciate your valuable suggestions.

    Hello Souvik,
    Thank you so much for your reply.
    But in my case the RFC lookup will be executed twice because the authorization data(token ans sign values which is stored in PI) is valid for 12 hours.
    if I find that these data is expired ,I have to do a soap lookup to get these details from a webservice and also have to update the same in the PI table using RFC lookup.All these activities are done in message mapping.
    so first RFC LOOKUP is used  to fetch the data and if expired,I get these details from a webservice and update(executing second time RFC LOOKUP) in PI table ,so that next time when request comes ,I will fetch these details from PI table instead from webservice to send message  to the receiver.
    same functionality is required for 4-5 scenarios,all acessing the same PI table.
    So Kindly advice considering these situation,will the performance,security,maintenance  be good when doing RFC lookup to other ERP instead of doing RFC lookup to PI system .
    Kind Regards,
    Kubra.

  • Two SCM Systems connected to one ERP System

    Hello Experts,
    Here again I got a doubt.
    Is it technically possible to connect two SCM Systems via CIF to one ERP System?
    Because I heard that we could connect more than one ERP System to one SCM System, but not vice versa.
    If you have seen a system in production like this, what are the pros and cons of having such a scenario?
    Expecting your valuable replies!
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Suresh

    Hi,
    technically it's no problem to connect two or more SCM systems to the same ERP system. We have one for DP/ PP/DS, one for EWM and one for SNC connected to the same R/3 systems. You however might get problems with the bom explosion for planned orders being sent from SCM to R/3.
    The bom explosion uses field MARC-APOKZ which is maintained automatically by CIF. If there are multiple SCM system using CIF for product master data the field might not be set up correctly and the bom explosion could be wrong.
    As a solution SAP provided OSS note 1576703.

  • Need suggestion on importing BC SET : UKM_DCD_CUST in SAP ERP system

    Dear Gurus,
    Client wants me to import BC SET : UKM_DCD_CUST into SAP ERP system. I have found BC SET : UKM_DCD_CUST in T code SCPR20.
    I have read most of the SCN discussion and got two way to import BC SET into ERP system as given below. But I need the appropriate way to do this. Can any one help me in this?
    1. SCPR20 -> Activate BC set -> create customizing request to import into another system as per link :Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets) and their use - Basis Corner - SCN Wiki
    2. Create TR in SE01 in 000 and import into required client  as per below proc:
    Usual procedure
    1) BC SETS will be attached to SAP note usually. Download it and unzip it , you will get a *.bcs file
    2) Call transaction SCPR20  BC set --> Upload In the dialog box that then appears, specify the files that you unpacked
    Import the set BC into a package that you have defined. activate it with the "Expert mode"
    3) You will also get a *.txt file with prog id , obj etc entries , then you have to go to SE09 and create a transport request in the source client of your Solution Manager system (client 000). Open the *.txt and copy the entries it contains into the transport request. Use transaction SCC1 to import the data in your Solution Manager client(s)
    Thanks,
    Anand Aseri

    2). Client copies bring the Customization data but not WorkBench . So you might have to do transport of copies from Old Dev to >New Dev.
    So you are saying that the system copy from Production will not bring Workbench data and I need to bring Workbench data by transports?
    *system copy from Production will bring Workbench data also, but when you do client copy from development system again on top of client which already has production customization, data and workbench requests, Production customization and data will be overwritten from development customization and data (it depends on the profile you choose for the client copy) *
    However  Development Workbench requests are more and also has ongoing development work which might not be available in production client and those (Ongoing development workbench requests) you need to import in new system as transport of copies after the client copy
    3). If you do system copy from Production and do client copy from dev...obviously Prod customization will be overwritten with Dev rite ?
    That's what I expect to happen,
    Ok, however, You might need to get Development Work too from the old dev system and don't forget about setting up of partner profiles in WE20.
    It's just a thought ,  Do you have testing client in Dev, if not,You can leave the production client in development system and use it as testing client.
    Create new client which is client copy of Old Dev and import WorkBench requests *
    Thanks,

  • Consuming and Providing Web Service with JD Edwards ERP system

    Hi,
    I would like to create web services with c++ or java OR any other easier way .

    Pls Note : Since not having license for JD Edwards, I need to create and call from Sharepoint Web service to JD edwards.
                       and not from JD edwards web service.
    Could anybody guide me in this.
    Thanks in advance.

    I had this error again so I thought I would post my solution:
    The issue is SAP needs to know the certificates being used by the web site being called.  These certificates are automatically installed in your browser but need to be manually installed in SAP.  This is what I did:
    How to find/install new certificates
    Make sure you run Internet Explorer as an Administrator so you can export the certificates
    Go to the web site that SAP is trying to call in Internet Explorer
    Double click on the lock in the address bar
    View certificates
    Find the certificates that are being used
    Tools --> Internet Options --> Content --> Certificates
    Click on the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” tab
    Find the certificate identified in step iii
    Export as a CER certificate

  • How can Oracle ERP system reduce the total cost of ownership

    i have read a report that describe the advantages of using Oracle ERP system in different organizations ; it is mentioned that
    "+Oracle’s ERP solution suite helps customers achieve 30-80% lower total cost of ownership, benefit from a predictable cost model, and reduce risk+".
    So does this means that Oracle ERP system reduce the total cost of ownership because it provides cheaper price comparing to other ERP providers, or it is meant that using Oracle ERP system will reduce the total cost of ownership for other assets in the organization by 30-70% ?
    Thanks

    My thoughts:
    1) Oracle ERP (or any ERP) typically replaces numerous applications. Each of those applications needed separate licensing fees, separate support mechanism, and separate employees in your organization to support them. By consolidating into one, it is easier to support it.
    2) Normally, Oracle ERP is cheaper than SAP but it certainly not the cheapest ERP in the market. There are some smaller ERPs which are cheaper but may not offer the breadth that Oracle offers. In fact, Oracle offers a small business ERP that is quite cheaper than EBS.

  • How to integrate a sales process across multiple ERP systems with SOA?

    Over time we have merged with multiple companies that used to run on their own ERP system.  In the past we concerted them to our own R/3 instance.  Having recently upgraded from R/3 4.6 to ERP 6.0, we want to transition to a SOA architecture for integrating stand-alone ERP systems.  We are looking for best practices on how to start this transition; i.e., how to use SOA to implement an Order-to-Cash process across separate ERP systems. 
    Here is our scenario:
    The same products are sold through ERP system A and ERP system B.  However, each system represents a different company code with its separate manufacturing plants.  Both systems evolved independently and presently have separate master data.  How do you enable a sales process that dynamically (depending on inventory availability) gets the product either from a plant on system A or B? How do you implement a triangular sale that covers both ERP systems?
    I am looking forward to learn from your experiences and your advice.

    Hi Bernard,
    Like most SOA scenarios, first your scenario requires a detailed fit gap analysis to see which of your existing ERP systems best meet which business process that you want to accomplish at an organisation level. It is only after that, that you can decide which capabilities of SAP SOA can you leverage and how.
    Broadly speaking, SAP's SOA paradigm provides several approaches which you could use depending on your scenarios. For example, if you only need a brokerage between two or more systems (updating or retrieval of data) either synchronously or asynchronously, your best bet is PI (preferably 7.1 because of its ESR and Services Registry). On the other hand, if you require a new application that acts as a controller of flow or processing across various systems, you could use the Composition Environment which provides you with a toolset to build composite applications across various systems (for instance, by registering services from multiple systems on the Services Registry, and then consuming it from say a WebDynpro application).
    The following document might provide you with more insight on this:

    Hello!
    we successfully upgraded our SAP ERP system to EHP4 for SAP.
    Our system has only ABAP stack.

    Java Add-In installation is not any longer available as of the enhancement package 4 for
    SAP ERP 6.0. Thus, it is not any longer possible, for example, to add EPC and EP
    together with AS Java to an ABAP-only system.

  • ERP System credibity.. Aging issue.

    Hi ,
    ERP system creditbilty is at stake as quoted by my client when issue was encountered regarding thousands of customer invoices.
    Payment term was made using Posting date as default for baseline date. When invoices were raised the system didnt pick the posting date for invoice. It is fetching some other date and can be seen in FBL5N. I dont know why is happening. Our senior FI consultants are stuck. There are around 1000 invoices whose aging has been distorted due to this. Please advice what to do. We have raised OSS note as well.
    Moderator: Please, don't use 'dramatized' titles in this forum; a functional title gives more credibility

    Please let us know you Posting date of Invoice?
    Also please let us know the following details:

    Fixed Day=
