There are couple of them - Lawson ERP, Kalido, AS/400. ECC 5.0 might be there as well.

Hi,
BO Integrator connects with other system (Database) and you will be creating your reports on the top of that DB or system. It never saw it being used to pull data from legacy to BW.

Extracting data from Legacy system - How do we get the data into a normaliz

Hi All,
Requirement that I have now is to get the data from 6 different tables ORACLE database to BI using DB Connect, where in each of those 6 tables has the transactional data as well - If it is only 2 tables, would have been creating a view and get the data. Each of the 6 tables are linked to one other by the Primary Key and Foreign key relation ship.
If it is from ERP system we would have created a Functional Module.
Please advice me on how to get the data to BI end from those tables in Legacy system.
Thanks in advance.

Anil:
I recommend following Ralph Kimball's EDW data modeling principles.
Have a staging layer of DSO's with data dump from source system. So have 6 different DSO's extracting data from 6 tables from source system independently.
Then have an integeration layer of DSO's depending on requirement. You could combine data from 2 or more DSO's here based on requirement and integrate your data here. Use primary key foreign key relationships here to do look ups or direct loads to do your business logic.
Then have an analytical layer of InfoCubes, MultiProviders, InfoSets as required.
The 3 layered architecture is a standard best practice that i have seen followed in many organizations. You could search for this type of architecture online under EDW (Enterprise Data Warehouse). There should be plenty of information available.
Good Luck.

As part of data conversion planning from legacy mainframe to SAP CRM and ECC systems, I need to know the different tools available for loading the data and comparative analysis of the tools by showing the features. Please also describe the process to evaluate the tools (prototyping, technical discussions etc) and make the recommendations.
I would also appreciate any information on testing tools like (eCATT) and any third party tools (like Informatica)
I know I am asking for lot of things here. But, I really appreciate any information reagrding this.

Hi
Data Migration(Conversions) mainly involves the following Major Steps
Discovery->Extract->Cleanse->Transform->Load
Discovery-> Involves identifying various source systems available where the actual data is residing.
Extract->Extract the data from the source systems(legacy systems)
Cleanse->Cleanse the data by enriching it,De-duplications etc
Transform->Transform the data into SAP Loadable format
Load->Upload the data into SAP Using the Load Programs(Eg,BDC,LSMW,Data Transfer Workbench,BAPIs etc)
Also i would request you to visit http://www.businessobjects.com/solutions/im/data_migration.asp

Hi ,
Conversion of legacy data into SAP can be uploaded using a standard SAP Tool called LSMW ( TCode:LSMW).
the below link gives a brief explanation of the LSMW tool
http://tutorialsap.com/abap/sap-lsmw-tutorial-with-steps-to-create.html
There are various methods to upload data within LSMW. If the number of records are very high like Article Master or Conditions for Retail the IDOC method must be used.
Standard IDocs
1. Article Master - ARTMAS
2. Conditions - COND_A
3. Source list - SRCLST
4. Customer Master or WRF3/WRF6 tables - DEBMAS
5. Vendor master- CREMAS
Etc. Use transaction code WE60 to see the structure of each of the idocs. New enhancements can be done for the idocs if the required field is not available.

hi
kavitha
after getting records in internal table
use loop at stmt
between loop and end loop you need to clear
BDCDATA internal table (both header and body)
eg.
LOOP AT IT_MAT.
CLEAR BDCDATA.
CLEAR BDCDATA[].
perform bdc_dynpro      using 'SAPLMGMM' '0060'.
perform bdc_field       using 'BDC_CURSOR'

perform bdc_field       using 'BDC_OKCODE'
                              '/00'.
perform bdc_field       using 'RMMG1-MBRSH'
                               IT_MAT-MBRSH.

Transfer data from legacy system to sap through rfc

There is an Excel-sheet where a user will enter some records, this excel-sheet should be automatically transferred to SAP. How it can be done? How can I see that records and how this link would be stablished?Give me the detail example! please help...!

hi,
You can write a program which will be run at scheduled intervals. You can crate a job for this.
This program will read the file either by OPEN DATASET, READ DATASET
for GUI_UPLOAD ... depending on where the file is located.
Then you can do the processing of each record using a BDC to insert recordsinto SAP. This will be done by doing a transaction recording in SHDB.

How to UNLOCK queues when data is migrated from legacy system to SAP syste

Hi All,
I need some help regarding queues (SMQ2). XI is been used to migrate data from legacy system to SAP system. Sometimes the queue is getting locked. Once the queue is unlocked then the message is processed correctly. So, the incoming queues must be "unlocked" routinely so that they can process through the system. There is a standard report RSQIWKEX available that can be scheduled in SAP system to automatically unlock the queues. Before using the standard report RSDIWKEX, we made sure that we have added parameter MONITOR QRFC_RESTART_ALLOWED set to "1" in Integration Engine specific configuration (TCODE SXMB_ADM).We are unable to analyze the reason for locking of queues and how to avoid it. If the locking of the queues can not be avoided, is there any way to unlock the queues? We tried executing this report but were not successful in unlocking the queues. Please guide us in solving this issue. It would be really helpful if you can give us a direction in solving this problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Shwetha.

Hi,
Just check if the Queues are registered in Transaction SMQR.
If its not, then register the Queue by pressing 'Register' Button

How to upload the data from legacy system database to SAP data base

Hi.
We are doing analysis of Legacy system and which needs to be converted to SAP system i.e. SAP implementation.
I just want to know , how we migrate the existing whole data( from legacy system) into SAP system.
and which method is the best method to use data migration from legacy to SAP system if data legacy data amount is huge.
Please suggest me.
Thanks.

Hi
We can either use the BDC or BAPI or LSMW or Direct Input techiniques for the data transfers.
The combination of both Session and Call transaction can be used to achieve this that includes the error handling also. This invloves the screen interaction.
These days, BAPIs are used to overvome some upgrade problems. For easy upgradation, we cna go for BAPIs. Here ther is no screen intercation.
LSMW mainly used for master data transfers using some standrad programs.
As per your client or company desicions we can choose any of them.
Please refer to these links for more understanding -
BDC Vs LSMW -

BDC Vs BAPI -
