Changes in source system dyring Unicode conversion

Hi,
I've upgraded our R/3 non-Unicode installation to ERP 6.0 non-Unicode using CU&UC guide. Now I plan to do the export & import phase to migrate the source system to Unicode.
My question is, does the export phase (where the Unicode conversion actually takes place) do any changes in the source system? It' is a production system, and when something goes wrong or the time exceeds the limit I have for the export, I need to stop the export, put it back to production and try another time. So I need to be sure that the export itself doesn't do any changes to the source system.
Thanks in advance
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
the export simply "copies" the source system (and converts the data to Unicode) - it does not change it.
Therefore you can still use it after the export is finished.

How to change the source system for just a datasource

Hi,
Our test/development BI system ( BI 7.0 Unicode ) is connected to our development system and to our test system, 1 BI system connected to 2 R/3 systems.
During some time, the test system won't be available so all datasources that point to the test system must be connected to the development system. In RSA1 is not possible to change the source system in a datasource: RSDS 057
'Creation of DataSources for SAP source system D30CLNT007 is not permitted' , same error trying to copy the datasource,.
Any idea about how to proceed ?
Regards,
Joan

Hi,
If I try to repliclate metadata in the datasource, message RSAR 051 appears: 'error when opening an RFC connection'. This error is expected because the logical system pointed in the datasource does not exist.
Is not possible to change the source system in datasource ( in RSA1 ) because the field is always greyed, also if I try to copy the datasource the message RSDS 057 appears.
Any idea about how to proceed ?

Changing the source system in QA

Hello All,
I just wanted a quick opinion from your experience on the following issue:
We have a ECC Dev client 20 connected to BI Dev client 20
Similarly we have ECC QA 120 connected to BI QA 120
But due to some reason we now want to connect a new ECC QA client 150 to BI QA 120 and take out ECC QA 120 totally(120 is wiped off).
I already have a lot of development transported to BI QA where the source system is ECC 120. Now if 120 dies and we pull the data from 150, what are the pitfalls to watch for?
Like all my Master data objects , DSO and Cubes still point to ECC QA client 120 but now the "actual" source system is going to be ECC QA 150.
Points,
Gaurav

You need to replicate all the data sources in BI from QA 150 and change the source system assignment to 150 instead of 120.
Also, you need to reinitilase delta for delta enabled extractors.
Two things to watch out:
1. If you dont have source system identifier, then if you happen to get records with same key, then it will overwrite. This applies to both master and transaction data.
2. For transaction data that is not delta enables, there may be a possibiltiy with which the records will get duplicated. So, better to delete the old requests before reload the data from QA150.

Change the source system

Hello
In our Quality Box , I need to change the source system connection (from QR1 to QR2). I created the new connection successfully. Now the issue is all the Transfer structure still using OLD connection ( i.e QR1) . I run BDLS and it did not word. How can I re-assign the new source system (QR1) to all of my Transfer structures in one go. Is there any report ?
Farooq

Hello,
You cant directly convert the existing objects for a source system to the new source system.
For that you need to do a transport of the objects to the QA box while maintaining the entry in BDLS to convert to the new source system.

How to change the Source system from ONE DataSource?

Hi,
I'm trying to change a DataSource's source system (active with dtp and transfer rules), but it's not possible to do it in change mode because the field 'Source Sytem' is not enabled. I know I can use the BDLS transaction but I understand that this is for change all Datasources and I only want to change one of all.
Thanks for your help

Hi Marcel,
As I understand apart from file and web services all other data sources are replicated from underlying source system. BDLS transaction is used to change the source system but in case of system copy activity and it is necessary because the data sources points to old source system.
In your case as I understand you will have to replicate the current data source directly from underlying source system and then build the rest of the flow. May I know how you have got this single data source for which the source system is different?

Durgesh.

Change to source system not possible

Our source system has a RFC problem conection, and when I try to change the parameters I have this meessage
Change to source system not possible
Message no. RSAR743
Diagnosis
The change to RFC parameters is not possible for source systems with manual meta data adjustment and data transfer from files.
Any idea?
thank you

Hi
It looks like, you don't have proper authorisations to change the source system..Please check with authrisations...

Change of Source system in Data Source

Hi all,
Our development system is a copy of another BI system. now the development system is connected to different source system. since it is a copy, all data sources are pointing to previous source system.
How can I change this data source point to new source system.
With regards,
Bala

Hi Bala,
As u know the DATASOURCE is SOURCE dependent.so the solution when you connect your developement system with another system ,while transporting the datasource you have to change your source system name also according to your BW boxes
I will give an ex:
suppose u have 3 system in your BI architecture,
BW : Regression ---> PREPROD -
> PROD
SOURCE : S1 ---> S2 -
> S3
SO When we transport the BW datasource.....,while transport we have to change the source system accordingly.
I hope i helped answering your question

Change of Source System in OBIA 7.9.6.4

hi All
Our Client has decided to change the source system from EBS R11 to EBS R12.So they have completed EBS migration to R12.I have been asigned a job to
configure the existing bi apps for the source EBS R12 which previosly was using EBS R11. Can any one help me to configure the OBI Apps Financial module.
Our OBIEE version is 11.1.1.6.9
OBIA version is 7.9.6.4
Any help will be appreciated as the Oracle's online doc is also not helping me.

Change of source system - any mass transaction?

Hi,
we have to transfer some programs and stuff from one system to another. Basis people will manually import a transport for this. In target system, I want to change the source system of the transported objects. Because it is quite a big number, I am looking for a standard reoprt/transaction to accomplish that.
Any hints?
TIA,
Regards,
Clemens

Hi
I believe yuo can create a program to update the table TRDIR, something like this:
TABLES: TADIR.                         " Catalogo oggetti R/3 Repository
DATA: COUNT TYPE I.
PARAMETERS: P_SYST1 LIKE TADIR-SRCSYSTEM, " Source Sys
            P_CLASS LIKE TADIR-DEVCLASS ,
            P_SYST2 LIKE TADIR-SRCSYSTEM. " Target Sys.
SELECT * FROM TADIR WHERE SRCSYSTEM = P_SYST1
                      AND DEVCLASS = P_CLASS.
TADIR-SRCSYSTEM = P_SYST2.
MODIFY TADIR.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    COUNT = COUNT + 1.
ENDIF.
ENDSELECT.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
   WRITE: Count, 'Objects from', P_SYST1, 'to', P_SYST2.
ENDIF.
U can try to use the trx SE03:
- Run the node: Change Objects Directoty entries
Here you can change the dev class and source system too, but I don't believe it can change all objects in mass way.

Change of source system

Hi all,
At present we have in our data source the quality source system of (R/3) mapped to the data source in the development of BI. Now i want to change the source system for the data sources in BI to R/3 Qualtiy.
This mapping is not done for all the application - it is done only for some of the applications like FI etc, and all other applications like the PP,QM etc have the respective R/3 clients mapped to the Data sources.
Can you kindly tell me the steps that has to be adopted to do this activity.
Regards,
M.M

- In R/3 QA , SE37, run function module RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT to disconnect you R3 QA connection with BI Dev. ( you can find Log sys names of this connection in RSBASIDOC table in R/3 QA)
- BDLS has to be run in BI for changing R/3 QA to R/3 dev. Also ensure the changes have been done to SM59 destinations like ip/host, login/password, RFC dest descriptions etc. in both BI dev and R/3 dev.
- Then RESTORE R/3 dev Source System in BI dev - RSA1 (While performing RESTORE , R3 dev client needs to be opened. After Restore you can close that)
- Then you will have Replicate all datasources from Context menu of Source sys R/3 dev in RSA1.
- Then Run program (SE38) - "RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL" in BI Dev to activate all transfer structures for R/3 dev source sys
Hope abovementioned steps help you.

Vikram.

Job logs from the original system after Unicode conversion.

Dear Globalization experts,
We are doing Unicode conversion and would like to know, if the Job logs from the batch jobs, executed before conversion (system with a 1100 code page), would be readable in the Unicode system after the conversion. We will move job log files from the source to the target system. I . Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Alik Shapiro

Hi Alik,
I have strong doubts that this will work ...
From SAP notes 842767 and 901004 you can see, that spool data will not be converted properly by default.
In general this is valid for data stored in TemSe, as this is by definition temporary data (see for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d9/4a8f9c51ea11d189570000e829fbbd/content.htm ).
However I actually did not test it, so I am not 100% sure.

What are the changes to be done on BW end during hardware change of source system?

Hello Gurus,
There is some hardware changes happening and I need help in certain things which I need to do from BW point of view. First of all, I have attached a figure showing my system landscape. I would kindly request you to go though the fig first.
For QA, initially we were using AG3 as the source system, now they have made the hardware changes, made a system copy of AG3 into the new system AEQ. We have connected our BW QA system to this new system AEQ. Now when I check the system, there are no data in set up tables (I am using SD and MM), but there are data in tables. But when I replicate data sources from AEQ to BW QA, the existing transformations and DTPs will disappear. So, that left me with 2 options-
1. Either transport old transformation and DTP from BW DEV to BW QA
2. Or create new transformation and DTP in BW QA system.
Can you experts please suggest me what should be the solution?
Also, please note that, the basis team started the hardware changes with ECC QA system for some reason. Once ECC QA is fine, they are planning to make the changes in ECC DEV system (from AG2 to AED). Currently, AG2 is connected to BW DEV and AEQ is connected to BW QA.
Can you please suggest me whether there will be any issue if we opt to transport transformation and DTP from BW DEV to BW QA when BW DEV is still connected to old source system? Or, is there any other easy way to sort this out? Please suggest?
Thanks a lot
Rakesh

Hi,
1. Either transport old transformation and DTP from BW DEV to BW QA?
Yes, better to transport from bw dev to bw qa
2. Or create new transformation and DTP in BW QA system?
at BW Quality, creation may not be possible. Better to transport from bw dev to bwq.
or use standard abap program to activate transformations and dtp.
When changes are applying at source then you just need to take care the delta queues
clear all queues by running related V3 jobs and delta info packs. make them as 0 count.
once basis team was done changes later try to check your delta loads at bwq .
Thanks

Change in source system client number - how will it affect BI?

Hello,
I have the following landscape:
R/3 DEV (client 100) connected as a source system to BI DEV
R/3 QA (client 100) connected as a source system to BI QA.
R/3 PROD (client 100) connected as a source system to BI PROD.
there is some problem with the R/3 QA server and we want to change it and have a different client (200) for it. As far as the developments in R/3 (datasource enhancement, activation, etc) go, they will not be affected by this change. I'm worried about how this will affect BI.
Transports: currently we have client 100 as the target for transports to BI QA. If i change it to 200, would i have to re transport all the development? I think i would since even if i replicate the datasources from the new client, i will not get the dataflow. for that i'll have to transport everything again. If i'm right, is there a work around for this?
Data Models: I have not put anything in BI PROD as yet. the old transports contain the metadata for cubes, ODS, etc along with the data flow. I dont think i can move them into production since i will get two transports with the same target. won't it create some problems? how do i do this? Do i need to collect my cubes, ODS, etc again?
I appreciate all the help.
Thanks
Sameer

Thanks Koundindya.
I did all the steps as shown in the thread. I've a small problem.
The data flow (3.x and 7.0) for the cube is correct. It shows the new client for the datasources.
For DSO's and master data infoobjects with 7.0 data flow and datasources, The DTP shows the old datasource and the system displays the message: source system XXXXX does not exist. In the data flow for the transformations, it shows the correct data flow and the correct data source.
Is there any note that i need to look or is this a bug in 7.0?

Sameer

IP change in Source system...

Hi,
We have got source system in BW. Which is pointing to R/3 server. Now we are going for R/3 upgradation. So the IP of R/3 will be going to change.
So do i have to create the new source system in BW. Or by changing in SM59 it will work? Please tell me the steps that has to be followed.
Thanks
Mil

Hi,
If u are copying the server than no need to worry about the delta.
Only thing you need to do is change the IP address that's it.
When we changed old r/3 server to new r/3 server. Only thing i changed was IP address.

Reg Change of Source system in BI Producton

Dear All,
We had a R/3 source system 900 and data was getting loaded from this client to BI 600 client everyday.
Scenario:-
Nowin R/3 the client system is changed from 900 to 950 and 900 client is no longer available.
Problem:-
What are the steps we need to take care of in BI system since the source system (client) has changed
Kindly give your inputs for the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Khan

Hi Khan,
Please follow the below steps:
The requirement is that Clients 900 connection should no longer exists in BW and replaced by clients 950
Below steps would hold good if the datasources of CLNT950 & CLNT900 are identical.
1) Delete CLNT950 in BW (no Datasources of this system is used in BW)
2) run BDLS in BW change CLNT900 to CLNT950
3) Run RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT in 950 clients ..
4) Restore connection CLNT950
Please remember to make a transport of source system dependent objects(for the original connection) on BW side, else you lose all the transfer rules and stuff. It has to be reimported later after mapping the old and new source system connections in table RSLOGSYSMAP.
Hope it helps,
Thanks,
Amit Kr.
