BW3.5-- BI7.0

Hi gurus-
Iam supposed to create a new DTP in BI7.0 without Disturbing the 3.5 extraction from Oracle DB. The datasource is a table/view in the Oracle.
For this iam supposed to create a new Data source..in BI 7.0.
While creating a Datasource for the same, i got an error saying that there is no table in the source sys.
But the 3.5 extraction is in the Production sys and it is working fine.
I know that there is a migrate option for the same. My client's req is to create a new DTP.
So can you help me in this regard.
Thanks and regards,
Vishwa.

Hey,
You have to have migrate the emulated datasource. I did lot of migrations before.
When you are migrating first see that youir update rules and tranfer rules have routines or not. If they have any routines then you first migrate update rules, here it will ask you for Infosource create new one with copy of old infource. Copying is very important. then migrate individually update rules. migrate always datasource with export. after that check/conform your exported datasource in RSDSEXPORT. then you can create dtp from ds to target.
hope it helps.
if any further problem you can write me. and assign points if helps.

Can't see system list in BW3.X/BI7.0 BEX Analyzer logon window

I used to be able to see our different BW system list in the logon small window when trying to open a query from a BW3.X/BI7.0 Analyzer which should be the same system list for SAP Logon screen.
But my computer was infected by virus that the operating system has to be reinstalled and then I have SAPGUI 7.10+Add-ons with SAPLOGON Customizer installed and I can see the system lists in SAP Logon screen. Then I have reinstalled BI7.0 BEX, but when I run either BW3.X Analyzer or BI7.0 Analyzer and open query, the logon small window pops up with a blank system list.
Any idea on how to make the system list show up in the logon small window when opening query in BW3.X/BI7.0 Analyzer? Maybe I need to have SAPGUI 6.40Add-ons with SAPLOGON Customizer installed first before I have SAPGUI 7.10Add-ons with SAPLOGON Customizer installed?
Thanks for any suggestion!

Have you copied the inf file from another system and copy it to windows system directory?
You need to have that copied or you need manually each and every system using the server name and System ID
thanks.

Delta Timestamps in ECC when upgrading BW3 to BI7

Hi,
We are about to do a technical upgrade of our BW 3.1 system to BI 7.0. BW currently contains a large volume of CO-PA Sales and HR Payroll data that are managed through Delta extractions from ECC6.
When BW has upgraded to BI, can we realistically expect that Deltas will continue without any problems.
I understand that the CO-PA time/datestamp for deltas is stored in Table TKEBWTSN and that the HR Payroll time/datestamp for deltas is stored in Table hrms_bw.
Should we backup these tables before the upgrade, so that if the first delta extracts fails, it would be possible to rerun them after updating these tables.
Are there any other precautions that we could take? Unfortunately our development BI system is not set up for Deltas from an ECC source, so we are unable to properly test.
Any suggestions or feedback on managing Deltas during and postupgrade to BI7 would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Leanne

BW upgrade an migration tool

HI ,
We have upgraded from bw3.5 to bi7.3.
There are abt 500 customized roles in our system. authorization concept migration tool had been used.
However, we notice that there are some inconsistencies whereby some gets migrated while some needs manual action.
I would like to ask for opinion. If we have heavily customized roles, is it better to do revamp the entire authorization concept design from BW3.5 to BI7.3 or is it wise to use the standard authorization concept migration tool(BW3.5---> BI7.3)?
Your experience and thoughts on this is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards
Maili

Hi,
Migration tool generally works fine when there are standard authorization. But in our case we had many customized authorization we had to revamp all of them after upgrade as most of the customized authorization were not migrated correctly.
Hence I would suggest that when there are many customized aurthorizations like in your case you should revamp all of them after upgrade rather than using migration tool for them.

faB,
I think you need to look at BW7.0 and not BW3.5
BI7 rather , is being released by this year end and by the looks of it I think NW Visual Composer will be preferred more that the web application designer.
BW3.5 has the web application designer and so does BI7 but ultimately I think it would converge into the Visual Composer.

System Upgradation - Question

Hello all,
We are currently on SAP - R/3 - 4.6c and in BW3.5 .We are planning to upgrade to ECC6 and BI7 in coming months.
Can BW3.5 - BI7 upgrade happens before R/3 upgrade ? If -- No what
are the constraints ?
Regards
KK

If you go for BI upgrade first, then you would probably have to connect BI system with the Source (R/3 4.6c). This is possible when
1) You have sufficient Table Space in the New BI system
2) You have already defined correct number ranges
3) R/3 4.6c contains the right plug-in version. There are chances that you might miss few of the datasources. Check note 153967 for plug-in information

Future of web report design tools

Hi there,
Does anybody here know what the future of designing BW web reports will be? I mean, will the BEx web application designer still be the tool in the next 1-2 years, or will the NW Developer Studio take over this role?
Is there any documentation on this stuff in the service marketplace?
Does BW version 3.5 bring any such new tools or features?
Thanks for you input!

Hierarchy authorization pbm in BI7.0 with Front end of BW3.5

Hello All,
We have a problem regarding authorizations for the hierarchies in BW7.0
We have migrated from BW3.1 to BW7.0. Authorization are OK in our BW3.1 server, the authorization on hierrachy work well.
Current Issue (in BI7.0) :
An authorization object for XCOMPROD for a hierarchy 'ZMAT_HIER'.
There are 2 queries which have variables of XCOMPROD & ZCOMPROD in selection criteria, ZCOMPROD has variable of type 'Hierarchy node'
I've a test_user which has authorization on Product Group 5 (one of the nodes in the hierarchy-ZMAT_HIER).
When i run the queries independently with this test_user, the user has access to Group 5 only, which is correct.
When i run a web template report with any one query (from the 2 queries), the user has access to Group 5 (as in first case) - correct.
However when i run a web template report having above 2 queries together, the authorization fails, as user gets access to root node (instead of only Group 5).
FYI, we're using BW3.5 front end (no PORTALS) with the OLD authorization concept (of BW3.1). Not 'Analysis Authorization' as in BI7.0.
Looking forward to an explanation/solution to the above.
Regards,
Nagendra.

Hi,
Check out the customization of SPRO to select the authorization concept. I suspect that it's set on the new authorization concept.

BI7.0 and BW3.5 differences

Hi All,
I am going to work in BI 7.0, some one explain the differences of the bw3.5 and bi7.0, what are the main changes in bi 7.0 any relevant documents have please forward to this mail id :
Thanks& Regards,
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
Some features of BI 7 are
1. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
3. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
4. The monitoring has been imprvoed with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal !
5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
6. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yess, you can always revert to the old transactions too.

All the queries will work if the peratining objects exists in the warehouse. Other than this there aren't any spl measures that actually needs to be taken care to while running the query on BI 7.0, to my knowledge.

Implementation of BW3.5 or BI7.0

Hi Guys..
Our company is going to implement BW. Now our management got stuck that weither we go for Implement BW3.5 or go for BW(BI) 7.0.
As, we got the response from some of the company that BI7.0 is not stable much, there is not much support from SAP & even in the market there are not people expertise much in BI 7.0.
Please advise me, that weather we should go for implement BW3.5 or BI7.0. Which one proves to be more stable,cost efficient & got support from all sense.
Your early feedback will be highly appreciable.
Thanks
Santosh Khare

Dear Rocky,
I dont agree with ur comments that BI 7 is not stable as we have already implemented BI7 at Our Place and it is working fine without any troubles. There are so many new features available which are not there in BW.
Even if u implement BW then later on u havge to go for the upgradation so if u implement BI 7now itself. it will be better.
Even Sap also supporting fully as its their baby.

Downgrading BI7.0 Queries to BW3.5

Hi Experts,
I have created some queries in BI7.0 query designer and now my client wants me recreate those in Bw3.5 version due to some technical compatibility issue.
So, can anybody let me know is there any program/FM/method to downgrade the BI7.0 queries to BW3.5 version which can avoid the manual rework?.
Answers will be rewarded...
Thanks,
V.Senthil

Hello,
Rakesh is right.
This is not possible, there is no program, FM, ... for that.
The only way is restore the Backup, if exist a backup.
Or, you will have to recreate all queries with Query Desginer 3.x again, unfortunately.
You can refer the thread below if you need more information:
MIGRATION OF QUERIES FROM 3.X TO 7.0
Sorry to not help you anymore.

Differences in DTPs BI7 when compared to InfoPackages in BW3.x

Hi,
What better features are available in Data Transfer Process (DTPs) in BI7.0 when compared to InfoPackages in BW3.5?
Why SAP recommended you must use especially InfoPackage to load data to PSA/DS in BI7.0 why not in other places like to load PSA to DSO, InfoCube? What the best features are there in DTPs to load data?
What DTP type is recommended the most and why? Could anyone help me in this.
Thanks,
Reddy

Hi Reddy,
In 3.X infopackages are to upload data to psa and data targets.
In 7.0 now Infopackages are using to load data upto PSA only
DTP is to load data from One Bi object to Other Bi object
I.e Data source --> data target or Data Target --> data target
which replaces the DATA MART concept
we have 4 type of DTP
1. Standard DTP
2. DTP for Realtime data acquisition (RDA)
3. DTP for Direct data access(virtual provieders only)
4. Error DTP(if get any errors ,while loading data to the data targets)
