Business content infosource

Hi All,
How do I do a comparison between the active infosource (2LIS_03_BF) vs. the business content infosource, or just to view the business content info source. I am interested in both the communication structure and the transfer rule. The current active infosource in the system was from release 2.x prior ro our system upgrade to release 3.5. I need to implement the new 0IC_C03 inventory cube. The old 2LIS_03_BF infosource was customized to load a different info cube.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I will assign points for those who are spending their time to help!!
Thank you.
Andrew

Ravi,
I looked at help.sap.com and did not find the fields for the communication structure and transfer rule for info source 2LIS_03_BF. Can you point me to the right direction?
Also, I was hoping that there are some SAP utilities where it would show the differences between the active version vs. the business content version for the infosource. Such as the one available in the info object display.
Thanks,
Andrew

Why I am getting this error message

Roshan, Try the following steps again
1) Activate the Datasource in LBWE on ECC.
2) Replicate the Datasources.
3) Find the datasource and try to edit it. If the infosource is not installed it will try to install again.

Business content - UDC extractors

I am activating a package that contains InfoSources with UDC data sources. I would like to use the Infosources and Infopackages out of the box if possible:
Scenario 1:
J2EE RFC and JNDI name will be the same as defined in Business content InfoSources
Result:
After activating BCT, UDC enabled Infosources & Infopackages are ready to use out of the box
(Is that correct?)
Scenario 2:
J2EE RFC and JNDI name will not be the same as defined in Business content InfoSources (most likely)
Action to be taken:
User needs to create new UDC datasources for Infosources and create new Infopackages
(Is this correct)

Clarifying relationship between business content objects in R3 and BW

Hi,
On R3 in SBIW, under Organizational Management, there were 3 datacources:
0HR_PA_2
0HR_PA_3
0HR_PA_OS_1
1
In BW, under Organizational Management, in the attempt to replicate the datasources, I found these same 3 datasources already there.
So, initially when BW was configured for the first time, did these 3 exist exactly the same as in R3 or their existence implies that someone has already performed the data transfer process in SBIW (in R3) before these 3 data sources in R3 appeared in BW?
2.
Now, in BW, in rsa1, Business Contents, Infoproviders, under Organizational Management, in the attempt to activate the datasource, I notice that the technical name for Organizational management is 0PAOS instead of 0PA_OS in R3; and the datasources available under 0PAOS are different:
0PA_DS02
0PA_DS03
0PAOS_C01
a) Shouldnt I have see the same datasources that I replicated under BW/Business Contents for activation? The descriptions seem to be the same though.
b) Again, were these 3 (0PA) there after the initial BW configuration or someone went through a process in BW to bring them from R3 down here?
c) Will activating these implies activation of the 0HR_ . Datasources, although they are with different technical names?
Thanks

Hi,
Based on your last mail, I now followed: Business Content, InfoSources by Application Component, Personnel Management Organizational Management then Organizational Management Master Data which now shows
0HR_PA_2
0HR_PA_3
0HR_PA_OS_1
which I was looking for. So you are right, I was looking at the wrong place. But see the instructions that I was following from SAP, it pointed me to Business Content then Data Target and that is why I chose the InfoProvider areas.
By the way this was the instructions I was following:
Activate the Structural Authorizations ODS data targets 0PA_DS02 via Business Content Activation function. (Admin Workbench -> Business Content -> Data Target -> Human Resources ->Organizational Management -> drag 0PA_DS02 to the right pane. Use Data Flow before and after option under the Grouping Icon and Install in batch on the right pane of your screen.
2. Any comment on this part of my question?
Since this is IDES, I want to remove all the datasources under Organizational Management in BW and start it afresh from R3 and get it into BW. What is the best way to remove them?
Thanks

Installing Business Content and Merge - Overwrites InfoSource - Very Urgent

Hi Gurus,
I was installing Business Content for a Cube with the grouping Data flow before using Merge/Copy option in DEV.
The cube got activated and all the objects associated with it. What I didn't realize was that the InfoSource used for the DSO of the cube was also used by a custom DSO which has already been deployed in QA.
So the transfer rules were only partially maintained and the content InfoSource merged with the active one. The DataSource for the custom DSO is from QA (a different R/3 from DEV R/3). The issue is that the custom DSO in QA is now linked to the installed (new) InfoSource belonging to the DataSource of the DEV R/3.
Please kindly guide on:
1. How to change the InfoSource for the custom DSO from the currently installed one to the original one? Can I deactivate the update rules and create new InfoSource and transfer rules for the custom DSO and transport it again to QA?
2. What are the implications this might have on the newly installed DSO & Cube?
All answers will be suitably rewarded.
Thanks,
Swetha

Hi Swetha,
I am not too sure, if i understood ur problem correctly but,
If your BI QAS system is still good.. that means ur custom DSO is still linked to old version of Infosource in BI QAS.
The talk to ur BASIS guys and ask them to transport the Insource/Transfer Structure from BI QAS system to BI Dev system.
This can be done by creating a transport in BI QAS system, the type of transport should be Transport of Copies.
and also before importing this Trasnport from BI QAS in BI Dev System maintain an entry in BI Dev system RSA1>Tools>Conversion of Logical System names and put an entry as Source = ur BI QAS Logical System Name and target as ur BI Dev Logical System name.
Cheers

SRM Business Content

Hi All,
I would like to know the infosource of 0SR_C01 procurement overview(aggregated) cube. while on help.sap it shows 0SR_MC01 as a multiprovider for 0SR_C01. But could not find the infosource for the same.
I would also like to know if anyone has the list of content infocubes and their infosources for SRM. Please share it with me.
Thank in Advance

DataSources
New DataSources have been created for NW 2004s BI Content Add-On 2 and SRM 5.0. These are described here, along with their extraction logic.
The following graphic shows the data flow from the DataSources to the DataStore objects
Structure
Each DataSource has an extraction structure and a data extractor. Generally, this is an RFC-capable function module.
There are two types of extraction: Specific extraction and generic extraction:
Specific extraction is strongly oriented towards the data model of the BI System and the necessary extract structure. It executes DataSource-specific processing steps.
The logic contained within the generic extraction is implemented centrally and can therefore be reused by the specific extraction modules. The generic extraction deals with access to the SRM database and is similar for each DataSource.
Generic and specific extraction
Extraction logic in detail
Data extraction involves the following six function modules:
InitLoad
InitLoad is called as soon as an initial upload is started in the BI System. In other words, it is executed when data is loaded into the BI System for the first time. The module can restrict the data extraction according to filter criteria that were defined in BI during extraction (for example, extract the data for a particular timeframe). InitLoad packages the data before it is transferred to the BI System.
DeltaLoad
DeltaLoad is called when a document is modified in the SRM System. The module writes data that has accumulated since the initial loading to a delta queue.
Data Collector
The Collector reads the required data from the database in the source system. For performance reasons, the data is then buffered in system-internal tables. The tables have the same structure as in the database. This saves time and effort, because data conversion is kept to a minimum.
Data Consolidator
The Consolidator groups data that belongs together from a business point of view. The consolidated data is stored in internal tables and is prepared for further processing.
Data Normalizer
The Denormalizer prepares the source data for the BI System. It calculates key figures that are required for the report but are not contained on the database and converts data types in the source system to data types of the BI System. Depending on the BI data model, the system now decides how each row is filled with data.
Data Mapper
During mapping of the data, the system defines which fields of the denormalized data structure are assigned to the fields of the extract structure. In this way, flat and one-dimensional lines are generated from the data.
The following table shows the technical names of the function modules of the individual DataSources:
Description
0SRM_TD_PO
0SRM_TD_CF
0SRM_TD_IV
0SRM_TD_PO_ACC
InitLoad
BBP_BI_PO_EXTRACT

Finding fields in R/3 for data extraction VS Business content

Hi all,
I am doing my first BW project after my training and I am finding it difficult to locate some fields that should be part of my report.
The Consultant says Sales Group, Inco terms, Open orders, Account assignment group, Sold to party, ship to party, Payment terms, Document currency and base currency, Complete deliver indicator, Order type and Count of Complete deliveries required should all be in the Order while transmission type and number of transmissions should be in NAST.
I have gone to R/3 - RSA6 to look at datasources and found 2LIS_01_S260 (Sales order) to have most of the fields but not payment terms, complete delivery indicator, open orders base currency and count of complete deliveries required. Also in Sales document header data, these fileds are not there.
Is it a case of not understanding the correct name of the fields if they are described in a different manner in R/3 or I have not done the proper thing? Can I just use an infocube in BW business content to get all the required objetcs -(infocube, infosource, datasource).
Thank you

Hi,
Finding the correct Infoobject and it's mapped field is a job of BIW consultant. But the problem is how to find them and how to frind respective R/3 field and it's table. You will be familar with them as your experience increases.
So you need to list of fields you require and then find out the Datasource/s which can give these fields by going through the Business content help or using LBWE Tcode in R/3.
The datasource you mentioned is obsolate one. i.e 2LIS_01_S260 .
You better to go wtih new DSes like 2LIS_11_VAITM,2LIS_11_V_ITM.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw31/helpdata/en/8f/36f338472b420de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
If allmost all fields are avialable in a DS , then you can check the possibility of enhancing the DS for remaining Fields.
With rgds,

Error while loading external data using Business Content

Hi,
I am new to BW and I'm stuck up with this problem.
I'm trying to load data from external file using business content cube(0PUR_C01)and infosources(2LIS_02_ITM/S012/SCL).
I first installed the above mentioned cube and data sources.
Then I activated the update rules and transfer rules, without any changes.(I don't know what changes might be required!)
Monitor is showing successful load but the cube has 0 enteries.
Even the simulation of update is showing data in the data target.
Can someone please guide me through this ?
Its really urgent....
Thank you all in advance.

Hi Sharmistha,
Welcome to SDN !! Does your monitor shows any records extracted till PSA ? Go to the details tab -> processing and click on each node to check what monitor shows.
Hope it helps.
Thx,

Hi,
it seems like issue with ABAP routine.
Can you try to get detail error by doing syntax check.
Also if you are in BW 7.31 - I notices while releasing it shows error. I will suggest ignore it and just released. it worked for me.
You always have option to recapture the transport and resend the same objects, if earlier failed.
Thank-You.

Error while activating 0FIAR_O03 DSO from Business content

Hi,
While I am activating 0FIAR_O03 DSO from Business content, getting an error "You do not have authorization for InfoSource 80FIAP_O03".
Thanks,
RAJ

Hi raj,
The error message clearly tells that you are not authorized...some of the authorization object is missing from ur profile...check the missing Auth object and get it add to ur ID.
do the following... try to activate the DSO once again ... you will get the message again
now enter transaction SU53 -- and click ok -- it will display the missing auth object from ur profile.
if it does not display any thing try to run the authorization trace using ST01 transaction ... to get the missing auth object.

How to find out the activation log for a info* from Business content

Hi,
I work in a BW 3.5 environment where a lot of projects are being done simultaneously and a lot of Business content are getting activated. BW often activates a lot of other objects when a certain section of seemingly unrelated Business contents are activated without much caution.
When I look into some of the objects related to my area of the Business content, I find them already activated.
How do I find the activation( who, what time etc ) log history of certain objects like info objects, cubes, ODS, Infosource etc..
This will help me immensely to communicate with various people( who inadvertently activeted them) and find issues quickly.
   Thanks
Arun

Within Tcode SLG1 you can query systemwide object activation on various selection criteria.
Ofcourse furthermore for objects already once transported to PRD you can search transport requests or object lists via Tcode SE01.

Currently I have activated some standard BI Content E.g. InfoCube 0FIAR_C03, DSO 0FIAR_O03, InfoSource 0FI_AR_4 and all the corresponding update rules.
Now I have copied both InfoCube and DSO into another customized version E.g. ZAR_C03 and ZAR_O03. I managed to copy the same update rule from InfoSource 0FI_AR_4 to ZAR_O03 using the template but I don't have the option of copying the same update rule from ZAR_O03 to ZAR_C03 using the same update rule of 0FIAR_O03 to 0FIAR_C03.
I know I have the choice to manually re-create all the details but is there any other workaround?
Please read through carefully my question. I have seen some forum asking to load data from 0FIAR_O03 to then ZAR_O03 then so forth.
Purpose of doing the above method is because I want to remain the business content as what it is and just to copy it to Z version for customization.
Thanks
