Connect one SAP ECC 6.0 source system to 2 SAP BW system

Hi!
I copied SAP BW system (e.g. BW1 --> BW2).
My source SAP BW system "BW1" was connected to SAP source system "MM5" (tcode RSA1).
Now I would like to connect my new SAP BW system "BW2" also to this SAP source system "MM5".
When I do so I get the following error:
Connection cannot be used.
Connection BA is used in the MM5:400
source system as a connection BW1CLNT001 to BW
Do you want to delete this connection in the source system?
Question:
Can one SAP ECC system be connected to 2 SAP BW system?
If yes, what are the steps to do this?
Thank you!

Thank you very much!
The question still is how to proceed with the following dialog screen/warning?
Connection cannot be used.
Connection BA is used in the MM5:400
source system as a connection BW1CLNT001 to BW
Do you want to delete this connection in the source system?
YES or NO
Thank you!

SAP (ECC) extractor to transfer data into Non SAP System

Hi Experts,
Scenario : We had a requirement to decommission the existing SAP BW system and merge it into Non SAP BI system (say MSBI).
Existing BW system getting data from standard extractor and populating till cubes.
Now If this SAP BW system will be decommissioned and all the data needs to be moved to new Non SAP System BI.
What will be the approached for this smooth transfer.
Will SAP (ECC) std extractor will be used to move the data into non SAP BI system ? How ?
Any documentation and experience will be helpful.
Thank-You.
Regards,
VB

Hi VB,
First you need to identify that your MSBI system support BCI(business content integration) method. For example Informatica support BCI and provide RFC plugins to integrate with SAP. If your MSBI support BCI method then you can use standard dataextractors to extract data in new BI system. You will also need to plan the reporting model and how the extracted data will be feeded in your BI datamodel/reporting side. You may use some transformation reference from your existing SAP BI system.
Thanks

SAP ECC 6.0 Service functionalities vs. SAP CRM Service functionalities

Hi all,
My name is Chitra. I want to make a comparison between the Service functinalities available in SAP CRM Service. I beleieve SAP CRM has lot more functionalities for Service than SAP ECC. But since I have not worked in Service, I would really appreciate any help in this regard. What are the Service options available in ECC 6.0 . What are the additional functionalities available in SAP CRM Service. Any help in this regard will be very helpful.
You can email me at [email protected]
Thanks in advance,
Chitra

Hello Chitra,
I know it was a long time ago since you posted this thread, but I was wandering if you (or anyone reading the forum) ever got the information requested for comparing CRM Service to SAP ECC Service. I have a similiar requirement for comparing both options.
Your help would be truly helpful,
Many thanks in advance,

Connect one JAVA ADS instance to multiple clients from the same ABAP system

Hi,
Does anyone know whether it is possible to connect multplie clients from the same ABAP system to a JAVA instance running ADS?
If so how do you setup the java destinations in Visual Admin and SM59 RFC connections?
Any help is appreciated,
Sander

Dear Sander,
this is always the case if you arrange the ADS connection.
You have to set up the RFC connection 'ADS' in ABAP side and this connection/destination is client independent. So you can use this from all clients of your abap system.
On Java side you have to arrange the already mentioned FP_ICF_DATA_<SID> destination. On the ABAP system and client (you specify in this destination) you have to maintain the user ADS_AGENT and your templates should also exist on this client. If there is no client defined, the default client will be used.

SAP ECC 6.0 IDES connectivity with internal BI server

Hell All,
We have a connectivity issue for SAP BI with ECC. we have a sap ECC6.0 EHP3 instance running in the customer landscape used for training requirement. In the ECC 6.0 we do also have SAP BI server in the same instance. Now customer want to use the same BI server which is in the same SAP ECC 6.0 IDES without installing an additional instance just for training purpose. As a part of the acitivty we do need to know whether we can configure the BI to R/3 data extraction for this instance. ECC have 800 client and BI also works in the same 800 client. Can we configure the SAP ECC to BI source system configuration and do the R/3 to BW data extraction scenarios. also want to know whether we can do the Process chains and other stuff for training requirements.

Extracting delta's with ODP-data source 0MATERIAL_ATTR from SAP ECC

We are using ODP-replication to extract data from SAP ECC to a MS SQL-database by SAP BusinessObjects Data Services.
For extracting Material-data we use the standard data source 0MATERIAL_ATTR in SAP ECC.
This data source delivers a full load with all Materials in it.
In the properties of this data source (tab attributes) we saw that this data source is Delta_Extractor_Capable.
Therefore we set the extraction mode from 'Query' to CDC (= Change Data Capable) and did a new initial load to get all Materials again.
After changing a Material in ECC, we did a delta-load, but unfortunately we received ZERO records.
Is there anyone with experience on extracting delta's with data source 0MATERIAL_ATTR or another standard masterdata data source in ECC?
Thank you for your reaction in advance,
Best regards,
Jan-Hendrik

Hi,
You can check the delta records in RSA3 see teh article. in https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Surendra+Reddy
Checking the Data using Extractor Checker (RSA3) in ECC Delta Repeat Delta etc...
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/80f4c455-1dc2-2c10-f187-d264838f21b5&overridelayout=true
Data Flow from LBWQ/SMQ1 to RSA7 in ECC and Delta Extraction in BI

Delete the Queue in LBWQ/RSA7 and then freshly load Init and Check the Delta.
Once you load the Init then if there are no new records then it won't get any data. so 0 records
Check in SM37 in ECC why the job is terminated. See in ST22 also.

A universe from SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP BW 7.3... Possible?

Hello,
We are looking to create one universe from two SAP data sources;
1) SAP ECC 6.0 with EHP5 and
2) SAP BW 7.3
Can this be done?
In UDT there is a SAP BW connection that can satisfy need for cubes but connection to ECC is a challenge.
I think it's possible in in CR 2011 but exploring webi options.
Any suggestion / work around ?.
Thanks,

Hi,
With Feature Pack 03 (ramp up registration open now, and RU starts ~16 March), you will be able to use IDT driver to access ECC (R/3) data. and generate a universe.
In the current, 4.0 SP02 Patch2.x codeline, you cannot do the above.
today, You can create a Multi Source-enabled Universe (UNX in IDT) for relational BW-SQL access to underlying BW table schema (by passing OLAP engine and all BEx semantic concepts.)
But - if you have the XI 3.1 Data Federator product already - then you can go from IDT, and use the DF XI3.1 as a datasource into a UNX universe.
I have not tried combining BW-SQL and DF 3.1 connections into a MSU universe.
Yes, using CR 2011, you can consume ECC.
I'd recommend joining ramp up (go via your account team) and evaluating the new features asap.

SAP EarlyWatch Alert in SAP ECC and SAP PI

Hi Experts,
Every week in SAP EarlyWatch Alert report in PI as well as SAP ECC, shows PI consuming highest resource in SAP ECC by the SAPMHTTP.
Example as below:
Initial System
Initial Action
Total Resp. Time in s
% of RFC Load
Avg. Response Time
Avg. CPU Time
Avg. DB Time
Avg. Roll Wait Time
PI
SAPMHTTP
200.261
15,00
600,3
70,4
165,4
1,5
The total response time in SAP ECC by PI system is 200261 secs.
I have checked the interfaces which connects SAP ECC with RFC and calculated the processing time for all messages in PI. But that time is much less than the above total response time.
Can you please help me understand how to validate this with the messages that are getting processed through PI using RFC?
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Pascal,
No There is no possibility to get the Diaglog response time and the number of users as similar to a ABAP EWA report in a JAVA EWA report.
This is because of the fact that the checks for both these system types are different.

SAP ECC 6 Upgrade to 2008 R2 and Virtualization success/failure stories

Hi Sap community,
I'm planning the following upgrade on my SAP Ecc 6.0 :
Source CI : physical server on windows 2003 x64 SP2,
Target CI : virtual server under vsphere 5.0 Windows 2008 x64 R2,
Source DB : physical server on windows 2003 x64 SP2, SQL 2005 SP2
Target DB : virtual server on windows 2008 x64 R2, SQL 2008 R2
Target physical boxes are not the same as source..
I've already verified pre-requisites, best practices, upgrade path on notes, forums,etc ..
What I haven't found, are the different experiences (success or failure stories) people had with performances while performing such an upgrade, especially with the path I want to use :
1) P2V the 2 servers
2) Upgrade to W2008 R2
3) Upgrade SQL to SQL 2008 R2
Although technically it works (tested on sandbox) I'm just wondering in a long term and with load, if such a enviroment will run without issues in production.
I know that some of you will advice me to create new clean installs and use "system copy" but I would like to avoid changing my hostnames because of dependencies (with BI, CRM, transport system etc...) UNLESS someone tells me that he experienced the P2V method and lived a nightmare.
My second question would be : for the DB : has someone tested having DB on VMDK disks versus RDM disks.
Thank you
Jorge

Hi,

1) P2V the 2 servers
2) Upgrade to W2008 R2
3) Upgrade SQL to SQL 2008 R2
Answer to your above 3 questions : approach has been successful. I had done it at 2 places.
My second question would be : for the DB : has someone tested having DB on VMDK disks versus RDM disks.
Please find more details about VMDK and RDM in the links below. Further more you can have maximum details about your query from the link below.

Potcode table report in SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
we just upgrade our R3 systeem to SAP ECC 6.0 and with this new SAP ECC we can not find the old report for our postcode table check. In previous system, we use the following report to update our postcode table :
- RSADRLSM01
- RSADRLSM02
- RSADRNL_POSTCODE
With SAP ECC 6.0 the latest report (RSADRNL_POSTCODE) in not available and because of that we can not update our postcode table.
Anyone experience the same problem?
Best regards,
Audrey N. Tamara

hi,
I checked this on the systems available to me and the mentioned report RSADRNL_POSTCODE is not available in any release 4.63 and higher, i.e. it isn't available in ECC 600 either.
the NL part suggests to me that this is part of a (Netherlands) country specific extension of any industry solution or it is simply a custom report in SAP's namespace.
So, check if your system's country specific add-ons are in place already or open a customer message to SAP with respect to your country version.
regards,
anton

Upgrade strategy for SAP ECC 6.0 SPS 12 to EHP4

Hi!
I would like to update a SAP ECC 6.0 system with EHP4.
I am on Windows 64 Bit with Oracle.
My current SP stack of SAP ECC 6.0 is 12.
What is the best timesaving approach to update SAP ECC 6.0 SPS 12 to EHP4?
a) to patch manually with SPAM/SAINT til SAP ECC 6.0 highest SPS (18?) and run SAP EHP Installer to upgrade to EHP4
b) to run SAP EHP Installer that updates SAP ECC 6.0 with highest SPS and upgrade the system to EHP4
Any helpful information will be very appreciated!
Thank you!

Hi Holger,
It's better to start upgrade with EHPI tool only so that downtime will be minimized instead of first doing via SAINT to highest SPS and then EHPI tool.
Also, while starting upgrade with EHPI tool, make sure of below thing:
1) Number of R3trans processes
2) Memory parameter optimization
Also. check SAP note 1143022

Master Data in SAP SRM and SAP ECC

Hi all,
I have the following question: after I create a vendor in SAP ECC and, than, I replicate it in SAP SRM (through transaction BBPGETVD):
1. if I modify all field of vendor on SAP ECC, is there an
   authomatic way which update vendor data on SAP SRM, or
   it is possible only through BBPUPDVD transaction?
2. if I modify all field of vendor on SAP SRM, is there an
   authomatic way which update vendor data on SAP ECC, or is it possible through some transaction?If yes, what is it?

Hi Maria,
You can execute BBP_VENDOR_GET_UPDATE_JOB report using SA38 txn. to automatically replicate vendors from R/3 to SRM.
Schedule a back ground job for this report depending upon the frequency of update that is every day or every hour based on your requirement.
The report BBP_VENDOR_SYNC automatically synchronizes the backend vendors with the SRM system.
Make the Global settings for vendor replication and synchronization in SPRO
SPRO -- > IMG ---> Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server -->Technical Basic Settings -->Settings for Vendor Synchronization --> Make Global Settings
There is no automatic way for updating vendors in R/3 after making changes in SRM.
Hope this makes you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.
Rgds,
Teja

Queries related to ABAP Programs migration to SAP ECC 6.0

We are planning to re-implement SAP using SAP ECC 6.0 We are currently using SAP R3 Version 4.7
Regarding migration of existing ABAP Programs and data, I have some queries which may kindly be answered by any of the experts of this forum.
1. I have heard that SAP ECC 6.0 or SAP Netweaver 7.0 will never support BDC programs. To upload data into SAP, BAPI is the preferred option. Is that true?
2. In ABAP Programming, relational operator < (less than), > (greater than), <= (less than or equal to) etc are not supported by SAP Netweaver 7.0. In stead, operator contants LT, GT, LE etc must be used. Other wise, SAP reports syntax error. Is thar true?
3. Screens (Dynpros) have been fully programmed in ABAP Objects in almost all programs related to functional modules (SD,MM,PP,FI/CO etc) in SAP ECC 6.0. Is that true?
4. Programs written in SAP R/3 Version 4.7 will report syntax errors when that program is compiled as it is in SAP Netweaver. Is that true?
I request you to kindly reply for these four queries at the earliest.
Thanking you,
K. RANGARAJAN
ABAP Programmer

SAP ECC6.0 will be supporting BDC programs too.But ,apart from this there are other options like LSMW ,BAPI, ECATT tool
which serves the same purpose . It doesnot mean that SAP wont support BDC.
Coming to relational operators u can use both of them but preferred is operator contants LT, GT, LE.
If there are any obsolete statements or any Obsolete function modules used in version4.7 U will get syntax errors or unicode errors.

Lakshman.
