Connecting R/3 Source system to BW

Hello,
I need to connect a BW dev system to R/3 Dev system (ECC 5.0)
I would appreciate if anybody could give me the detailed steps involved...
are there any plug ins which have to downloaded ??

Kamal,
RSA1 --> Source Systems --> Right click on the top of the tree and select new source system
Give the R/3 server along with a suer ID and password in the R/3 system. Lower portion has the password of ALEREMOTE in the BW system.
Follow the instructions from there on. Select activate and replicate.

With ECC 5.0, you shouldn't need any plug-in.

BW: Connect to new source system via special transport

Hello everyone!
I have a BW system connected to an R/3 source system. I have made a copy of the source system. Now I want all my models to be connected to both source systems. I heard that this can be achieved via special transport (i.e. place all source system dependant objects into a special transport request to be imported back into my BW system, but with the new source system assignment). Does anyone have any documentation on how to do this?
Best Regards and Merry Xmas!
Luís Andrade.

Hi Luis,
There are two parts,
1) If you want to transport all your objects from current R/3 system to newly created r/3 system then you can create a TR and use it in SCC4 transaction during client copy. In the same fashion you can use RSA1---> transport connection and use the TR for system copy. After that once you release this TR all the objects will move from one system to another.
2) But if you have already moved all the objects in source system but now you want them to replicate in BI then go to SAP BI system select your source system and then from the context menu choose replicate datsources option, it will fetch everything from respective source system in BI.

Connecting MSSQL Database source system from BW 3.5/Oracle 9.2.0.6/AIX 5.3

Hi,
We want to extract data from MSSQL database source system into BW 3.5/Oracle 9.2.0.6 system in AIX environment. Apart from intsalling NT app server,UDC, XI,flat file options, can you please suggest any other methods to extract data from SQL database into BW/AIX system?. Thanks in advance.
Thanks.
Raj.

Raj,
Did you find any solution for this problem. We are having exactly the same issue and are trying to do it with SAP DBConnect.
We are able to create a Source System for MSSQL server but it does not connect since the "Database Shared Library" is not installed on our BW 3.5 AIX box.
From what we gather there is NO DSL for MSSQL for AIX. I cannot believe we cannot connect to MSSQL directly since we have too many MSSQL databases all around the company.

R/3 ECC6.0 connection as a source system to BI 7.0 For IDES system

Hi Friends,
I want to create a R/3 source system conenction in IDES
say Example
My IDES server For <b>R/3 ECC 6.0 is XYZ800</b> and client is 800.
My IDES server For <b>BI 7.0 also XYZ800</b> and client is 800.
in ECC 6.0 IDES, both BI and R/3 is same server.
In this case how to establish connection bn R/3 ECC 6.0 & BW(BI7.0)
is it possible to create a R/3 source system in IDES for this senario,
then please help me....
I tried to create sourcesystem for different client(812) but it is not accepted
and I searched in SDN postings too, but I can't get my answer.
I have with these Documents already,but still my problem is not solved.
B84_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc,BL_Quick_Guide_EN_DE,MySAP BW Cookbook Vol 2.
please help me to solve my problem, sure you can get points.
Thanks
shoukath Ali

Hi prasanna
In your Case no need to create any Source system.
I also got same scenarion and i created connection with BI self Connection.
and i am able to replicate all data Source. in this case R/3 and BW both residing on same client and same server.
Just create BI self connection.
then Restore if it is not giving any error then activate that with Datasource.
Hope it help you.
thanks

Connecting R/3 source system as BW source system type

hi,
I have just noticed that on my clients system I work now source system SAP ERP is connected as source system type SAP Business Information Warehouse.
Is it ok to do it like that? Should not it be connected as SAP System from release 3.0E (Automaitc Creation)?
or maybe it does not matter?
Regards,
Andrzej

is it an erp04? as far as i recall the WAS hosts a BW instance as well as the ERP...

Connection of 1 source system to 2 Target system

HI ,
We are in the midst of upgrading the hardware for our BW box.
At present old box is as follow:
1)BWQ connected to source QAS
2)BWP connected to source PRD
The new box is called FWP. We are testing on the new FWP by establishing connection of FWP with source system QAS.
This mean, source system QAS is connected to 2 boxes at the same time.
old BWQ-QAS
new FWP-QAS
I would like to know if we perform data load in new FWP, what will the impact be. Will that impact the delta queue in source system QAS? If i trigger load in FWP, does that mean we will loose the delta whn data is triggered in BWQ?
Regards,
Maili

Hi,
Since itu2019s a new box this will not impact to old box, but we need to develop everything from start in new box or you can copy from the Old.
We also have something like it.

Issue in while connecting Source system

Hi All,
I mistakenly Ran the function module RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT in BIW, I suppose to run this FM in Source system side,
We observed that Source system in RSA1 (BI) has been deleted), and also one record from the table RSBASIDOC (which is from source connection) has been deleted .
When I try to create he source system in BI, after entering logical system and ALEREMOTE and BWUSER logins, it was asking me to login to source system, after entering the details,
A pop-up message:
RFC destination already exists in source system
Do you want to use this destination, check, or
cancel source system connection?
options: USE, CHECK and Cancel, -> We pressed USE
Then it came back to RSA1 screen and a pop-up message
Connection BA is used in the ERQXXXX
source system as a connection BWQXXXX to BW.
Do you want to delete this connection in the source system?
Connection Is Restored After It Has Been Deleted Successfully
Options: Delete, Do not delete.
When we go for Delete : It is saying that "Error in source system ERQXXXXX"
Thanks in Advance,
Teena

R/3 connection to BIW - No Idocs arrived from the source system

Question,
Hi Team,
I have issues during loading attribute data from R/3 source system to BI,
I go to the path
Data Warehousing Workbench - Modeling window. In the DataSources view, my application component Group ##. On my DataSource i Create Info Package and save it,
Later I select the following options
Full Update = select
On the Processing tab page, select only PSA.
On the Schedule tab page, choose Start Data Load Immediately and start the data load.
Till here everything is in active version and saved, and connection to the source system is active and working fine.
However when I do loading I received following messages, what I observed in Monitor window,
Data was requested OK
Request still running
Diagnosis
No errors found. The current process has probably not finished yet.
System Response
The ALE inbox of BI is identical to the ALE outbox of the source system
or
the maximum wait time for this request has not yet been exceeded
or
the background job has not yet finished in the source system.
Current status
No Idocs arrived from the source system.
When I go to detail tab, under transfer section, I receive the following message
Data Package 1 : arrived in BW ; Processing : Selected number does not agree with transferred n
But when I actually go to PSA maintain section and select data and no of records, I can see the that data is loaded into PSA section,
But when I chose to run the transformation I donu2019t get data here,
Kindly help me to resolve this issue,

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?

Source system connection with DW ?

Hi
Could you plz let me know how to create a source sys connection with DW ?
I am quite familier with creating a source sys with ECC & flatfile but now with DB .
In my project , i hv to extract the data from DW system ..but i do not hv idea to create a source system with DW .
out Basis also do not hv idea to do that , so if you could help me with step by step source sys connection with DW , that would be gr8 help for me .

Hi,
A connection between a source system and a BW system consists of a sequence of individual links and settings that are made in both systems.
· RFC connections
· ALE settings
·     Partner profiles
·     Port
·     IDoc types
·     IDoc segments
· BW settings
Read the following help on creating source system:

Source System Connection Issue after BI 7 Upgrade

Hi all,
We have just upgraded from BW 3.1 to BI 7.
After the upgrade, I checked the connection to our R3 4.6 source system.
It is now saying the following message:
Source system XXX is marked as inactive in BI.
Check failed for RFC connection XXX ; check destination
After going through the RFC connection, I tested the connection for this source system. It said OK. While doing the authorization test, it said: "Name or password is incorrect. Please re-enter".
The thing is that our name & password ARE correct definitely.
Is there any issues post upgrade because authorization stuff between R.3 4.6 (PI 2004.1 SP15) and BI 7?
Any ideas?
Thank you
chris

Hi,
as from NW7.0, passwords are case-sensitive.
If you define the passwords in the RFC in uppercase, it will work.
This is a problem when you link an 'old' (not NW 7.0) system to a NW 7.0 (as in this one, passwords are case-sensitive).

Connect two BW systems to one source system

Hi Experts!
I would like to know if I can set up two BW systems connect to one source system. We copied and built new BW system (BW2) from existing BW system (BW1). We need to have both system connect to one source system. When I execut Restore from BW2 - RSA1 - Source System, I'm getting a following prompt:
"Connection cannot be used. The connection BB is used in the DEV400 source system as a connection BW1400 to BW. Do you want to delete this connection in source system".
If I select "Delete" then it replace exising connection between BW1 - DEV and creates new connection BW2 - DEV. If I go back to BW1 and do restore then same thing happens as BW2 connection removed.
Is there anyway we can set up two BW systems connection to one source system with restore? Connection works fine since each one can connection with no issues. Just when I do restore, it removes other connection.
Thanks.

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!
