Change Source System RFC

Dear All,
we have 2 server ecc 6.
1. production
2. backup
right now my sap bw connect to ecc production.
we have plan to use backup instead of production
is it enough just simply changing the IP and host name at the current RFC connection.
from IP production to IP backup server ?
without creating new RFC connection ?
is there any procedure that we have to do before or after the changes ?
please advice

Hello Dady,
You have to take care of RFCs, Logical system names and RSA1 stuff in order to use backup ECC server instead of Production.
I suggest you to go through the following document for better understanding. It's strongly recommended to take offline backup before you attempt to modify source system configuration in BW system.

Good Luck.
Thanks,

Change Source system Tech.Name

Production : PRE -
> PRB
PRE-Production : PPE -
> PRE
We make a copy of our production BI to Preproduction BI (PPB) we follow note # 886102. We want to connect this system to our pre production ERP (PPE).We already run BDLS change the logical system name we created new RFC created which is pointed to new R3 system .Problem is when we are going to run Tcode RSA1 in source system it shows old Tech name PRE600. We are unable to activate the source system.
We can create new source system (PPE),but All our BI objects mapped with old source System (PRE600). I am afraid to change thousands of BI objects ( change source system from PRE600 to PPE600).
Is there any work around we can change the Logical Source system Tech.Name? or some batch job which change the source system name for all BI objects.
Appreciate your earliest reply.
Nawab

Hi
Can you please check the Tcode BDLS

Does not allow to change source system in Variant

Hi Gurus,
I am creating a variant for the program RSIMPCUST, but it does not allow me to change source system name. It is showing me gray color. Do you how to fix this issue ?.
Thanks
Liza

Hello Liza,
Did you try my solution?
[Re: Change source system name in variant in BWQ]
There are solutions to change variants properties, but that particular program has the logsys parameter not able to change, so you cannot change the value of that variant (only with debug).
It's best to go for that solution I already provided to you...

Change source system name in variant in BWQ

Hi Gurus,
I created a process chain for global seetings for unit of measurement and fiscal year variants and transported to BWQ.
In BWQ, I found the source system name in variant is showing ERD source system name, but I need to change it to ERQ source system name. Any advice how to change source system name in variant in BWQ I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Liza

Hello Again Liza...
I had the same problem but I didn't need to include in process chain...
So to execute periodically you can change it in debug mode, not the best solution...
But since you need to use it in a process chain, you should copy that program to one of yours Z.
Do this:
Go to transaction se38 and insert the program name "RSIMPCUST".
Click on the button of "Copy" (Ctrl+F5).
Change the source program name to ZRSIMPCUST (or whatever you want)
Click Enter
Click the button to mark everything (F8)
Click Enter
On the next window of the name of the include click enter (leave it blank)
Click on the button Change of your Source Code
In line number 54 you'll find this in Selection Screen part:
PARAMETERS: logsys TYPE rsa_logsys MODIF ID p01.
PARAMETERS: logsysnm LIKE tbdlst-stext MODIF ID p02.
Delete those two lines and insert this ones:
PARAMETERS: logsys TYPE rsa_logsys.
PARAMETERS: logsysnm LIKE tbdlst-stext.
Now click on Activate button (Ctrl+F3)
Now you have a new program just like the old one but you can change the source system to whatever you want!
Please assign points,
Diogo.

How to Change Source system type of ECC6.0 in BW system

Hi BW Experter,
   I connected ECC6.0 PRD system with BI7.0 PRD system , the connection is successful,
but the source system type of ECC6.0 PRD is not collect . The ECC6.0 PRD is as a
BW system type in the source system list of bw system .
   I found that Tcode RSA1 has ever been run in PRD ECC6.0 , So I did a connection testing of
ECC6.0 QA with BI7.0 PRD .
     Step 1. Connect ECC6.0 QA with BI7.0 PRD , ECC6.0 QA was as SAP system type in source system list of bw system .
     Step 2. Run tcode RSA1 in QA ECC6.0
     Step 3. Delete connection of ECC6.0 QA with BI7.0 PRD .
     Step 4. Connect ECC6.0 QA with BI7.0 PRD again , ECC6.0 QA was as SAP system type in source system list of bw system .
   I want to know how to change ECC6.0 PRD source system type to SAP .
If it can't been change to SAP ,Is there any impact when ECC6.0 PRD is as bw system type in source system .
Thank you for your help .

I got the soulution from note: 1087980 - ECC Source systems appearing in BI folder
Summary
Symptom
Source system connection for an ECC system appears in the BI folder, rather than in SAP folder, as expected.
Other terms
Wrong folder,RSA1, RSBASIDOC, RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT
Reason and Prerequisites
Transaction RSA1 was inadvertently used on an ECC system , thereby creating a 'Myself' source system entry in RSBASIDOC table
Solution
This is just a display issue and does not cause any operational issues. Therefore, it need not be corrected, especially if the ECC system in question is used as a BI system as well.
If it is absolutely required that the ECC source system appear in the correct folder, perform the following steps.
1. Check that an entry with SRCTYPE 'M' exists in table RSBASIDOC table of ECC source system.
2. Note the values for SLOGSYS and RLOGSYS. It should be same.
3. Run the function module RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT in the ECC system.
   NOTE: Never run that function module in a BI system!
4. Enter the following values :
I_BIW_LOGSYS   <RLOGSYS> as noted in step 2
I_OLTP_LOGSYS <SLOGSYS> as noted in step 2
I_FORCE_DELETE <X>
< DO NOT ENTER ANY VALUE IN THE FIELD - RFC target sys !!!!! >
5. Go to RSA1-> Source systems in the BI system connected to the ECC system.
6. Select the ECC source system and select RESTORE in the right click menu.
Now the ECC system should appear in the SAP folder.
If running RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT results in an error like OTHER_ERROR, please check if a valid RFC connection exists in transaction sm59.
If the myself source system connection cannot be deleted in any case, log a service marketplace message with SAP Support.

Change source system in Infosource

Hi
I am working on BI7. I have one isse. For an infosource source system has been assigned to client 100. I would like to change it to 200. Pl let me know how to make this change.

Hi
I didn't get your question,how a infosource is assigned to source system,your data source will be assigned to source system and your infosource and data sourece will be assigned to each other..
delete the datasource from source system 100 and create a data source in 200 and assign it to your infosource(i am considering both 100 and 200 source systems are assigned linked to your BW system via RFC(SM59))..
Hope it helps
Thanks

How to change source system in SAP BI

Hi,
In Sap BI we are having a source system ECC1CLIENT100, based on this we developed all the data modelling, now due to some reasons we made a copy of the souce system ECC1CLIENT100 to ECC2CLIENT100 and we removed ECC1CLIENT100 from SAP BI connections, Now what changes we have to do to connect the ECC2CLIENT100 to BI in the place of ECC1CLIENT100, please give me step to step what to do for sucessfull operations, Both the clients are having different IP, SYSTEM ID,
Thanks in advance,

Hi Bazi,
-->you need to maintain RFC to the new source system
-->delete old source system
-->create source system connection from RSA1
--> Run BDLS to point the data sources to new source system. This should be run on both BW and ECC.
You will need to run this BDLS several times
for more info check the below link

Source System RFC Error in BI

Hello SAP Experts,
I have installed BI 7.0. And i have created an RFC connection for BI to R3. It was working fine but now the SAP R/3 source system in RSA1 is giving an error "Result of the destination check:Name or password in incorrect(repeat logon)". And also when i am logging in, moving between screens or T-codes, it is taking a long time and the status in the bottom of the screens shows that it is checking all the destinations that is the RFC connection created. Not able to trace the reason behind this. Please help. BL consultants are waiting to work.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Vani

Hello MLN,
This is not the first time i am configuring SS. I have done it long back. I created a user manually long back and i used that user while configuring the SS. All these months it worked fine and no issues. As far as i know,ALEREMOTE and BWREMOTE are service users which we get by default after installation. And during configuration, i remember, i gave the passwords for both the users. But my question is, all these days it went fine and now it is giving an error. And why is it checking all the destinations when i execute any transaction. Please clarify. BI consultants practiced SPRO, so is there any chance that they might have changed or ececuted something and the result is this error? If so what can that be. Please suggest
Thanks a lot

Source System - RFC Connection

From RSA1 if I go to a source system in B/W, right click and choose the check option, I get an error message which says BW Unknown in source system. I think this is indicating that the RFC is not set correctly. I have gone to another B/W which also accesses the same Source System and have done a check and the connection is fine.
If I right click the Source System and select Change in both B/W systems everything is identical except the name entered for the Target Host. If I ping both names the IP address is identical though. Would the Target Host name cause an issue? If not can someone advise on the steps to fix the RFC? Thanks

Niten,
Most likely, IDOC settings on the source system side are not correct. Ensure that the source system is open and you have authorizations to maintain ALE settings. After that right click on the source system and select activate. If that does nto work, try restore.

Change Source System

Hi Gurus,
My BW Production is linked to ECC6 Production box.
I have copy my BW Production client to another box, (Sand box).
Now this Sand box is linked to ECC6 Production box because it is the copy of BW Produciton.
How can I change all my Source System so that this Sand box is pointed to my ECC6 Development box?
Please help.

YOu can do by this way.
Create one more RFC connection in SM59 and source system connection for ECC development box in your sand box.
there would be no problem if you have ECC production and ECC development both the source system connections in your BI.
If you dont need of ECC production source system connection. you can delete it.
But the data sources and everything you have to create for your new source system connection i suppose.
Hope this would help you.

Change Source System client for BI datasources

Friends,
We have created/migrated datasources in QA system using existing SAP Source System, for example, ECC Client 320. Now we want to change the SAP Source System to the different client, for example, ECC Client 330.
All datasources are already created when connected to old Source System (ECC Client 320). The new requirement is to extract the data from new client, from ECC Client 330. We like to change this seamlessly without impacting the data loads, full as well as delta.
Any ideas as to how to accomplish this please?
Regards,
Upender Kadire

Hi,
The client mentioned while creating source system in BW is to be changed.
Go to the RFC Destination created for R/3 system in BW and change the client.
Now regarding the delta, the delta has to work fine, as BW system is Client independent. It looks for the Source and bring data.The delta queue is maintained in R/3.if you change the client, the delta will be picked from the new client.

Source system RFC fails after transport

Hi all
in our QA system any transport containing a process chain causes the RFC connection to the source ECC6 system to fail after too many logon attempts.
This doesn't happen when we send the same transport to production.
Any ideas?
Regards
Hayley

Hi
thanks, but I had already checked out this note. This refers to the post processing of the transport on BW of client 000 logging onto the BW client to carry out changes, not the RFC connection to the BW ECC source system.
The transport goes through ok, and the process chain can be activated, however at this point we always notice that the ECC source system connection fails with an RFC error, as soon as we get the password reset and changed in SM59 it works ok.

Change source system in Dev

Hi
I have a dev system that is mapped to 2 source systems, R/3 clients (clients 245 and 246) and datasources are mapped to either of these systems. One of these R/3 clients (245) has now been deleted and I want to convert all of the datasources that pointed to it to the new client (246). I want to convert only the datasources pointing to the old client (245), but not change those that are already pointing to the new client (246). Would BDLS help in this situation.
Thanks in advance
Simon

you can do these:
1 ) change in SM59, the source r/3 qlty to point to your dev server. That should do the trick without making a lot of changes. once you change the source system via this option, you have to perform a check/restore (so that the partner profile in dev system can be updated), replication and activation of the transfer structures.
2) You can also ask your BASIS guy to run program for BDLS that changes the system pointer.

Change Source System in Transfer Rules

Dear All,
I need to change the Source System assignment in Transfer Rule from System "A" to System "B", as the System "A" no longer exists.
I came across the T-Codes BDLS/BDLSS but aint sure if this can help me rectify the issue.
Request you to please provide some inputs.
Regards,
Nitin S.

Hi
if you change the source system you may face the problem.
first you can replicate the Dat sources on B, then you can map the info source with your respective data source.
else it will not allow you for thr mapping.

Not able to change source system connection

Hi, I have problems changing a source system connection from BW. BW is already connected to source system A, which is closed down, and I'd like to connect BW to source system B, which excists and can be accessed. I have tried to use BDLS, but get the message that System B already excists (new one). I try to delete it (Change view logical System), but am not allowed to do this. I get the message "must not be deleted, first delete from distribution model." And thats where I am stuck. Can anyone guide me on my way?
Regards E!

Comment to the last answer:
When I try to delete in SALE I am told that the source system also excists in the Distribution Model (CUA) and can therefore not be deleted. It must be deleted in the distribution model first. I find CUA at BD64. Looks like this is the connection to Solution Manager. What are the consequences for deleting the Source System here? And will it hlep me to solve my problem, which is that I can't change my connection from Source System A to new Source System B?
