Connection between Source Systems and BW

Hello,
I´m trying to connect our SAP BI 7.0 system to SAP R/3.
At the following link, the topics for connecting BW with SAP source systems aren´t mentioned in detail:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dm40/helpdata/en/00/dc54384ac9a81be10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
I already have setup and tested the RFC-connections, so I primarly need a step by step description for the ALE settings (Partner profiles,Port, IDoc types,IDoc segments) in the
context of BW-SAP R/3 connectivity.
Thank you for your postings
Best regards
Mehmet

Hi Srini,
Thank you for you´re answer.
I have checked WE20 and W21. The ports and the partner profiles are created automaticly in BW and R/3 sides, when creating the new source system in RSA1.
The main problem is, that the R/3 can´t send data to BW, although the ALE and RFC configurations are setup properly. After I replicated and activated several data sources in BW succesfully, I´m requesting data from the R/3 system with an infopackage, but after a few hours the follwing failure message occurs in the monitor :
Errors while sending packages from OLTP to BI
Diagnosis
No IDocs could be sent to BI using RFC.
System Response
There are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of BI.
Further analysis:
Check the TRFC log.
You can access this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".
Error handling:
If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is fully connected to BI. In particular, check the authorizations of the background user in the source system.
In the TRFC (SM58) log in R/3 there appears an status text with the following entry:
"No service for system SAPABC client 123 in the integration directory".
For this entry I have found the SAPnote 940313. In this note,there is described how to send Idocs over Integration Server. Now I think that our R/3 system tries to send Idocs over the Integration server too.
But is there another alternative to send Idocs from R/3 to BW without using the Integration server?
Best regards
Mehmet

Cloning use the different gcc version between source system and target sys

Hi All,
Our system is: Application tier and Database tier is split to two servers.
We should run a cloning, but I found the different gcc version on application tier on source system and target system.
The source application tier server is RedHat Linux ES3, gcc version is 3.2.3
The target application tier server is RedHat Linux ES3, gcc version is 2.9.6
There is the same gcc version on database tier on source system and target system, they are gcc 2.9.6.
My question: Can I use the different gcc version between source system and target system when I run an erp cloning?
Thanks & Regards
Owen

Not necessarily, you might get some errors if the version is higher and it is not supported by the OS. An example is Note: 392311.1 - usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.5/libgcc_s.so: undefined reference to 'dl_iterate_phdr@GLIBC_2.2.4'
To be on the safe side, make sure you have the same version (unless you want to give it a try).

How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI

Hi,
I just read "How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI". While I'm waiting for more authorisation to r/3 to carry it out and test this functionality.
I'd like to ask a question to anyone who has implemented this type solution. On page 10 it talks about creating a view then setting up the datasource. The solution talks about runnig a query. I suspect when we run a query I would run it for only a period(using variable) to reconcile.
My question is this. Will the datasource extractor on /r3 only select the period in our variable or will it do a full selection of the data which would then be passed to BW for filtering?
Regards

DEar Mark,
There are several avenues where you can see and reconcile your data with source system, u can see data in by tcode RSA3 for a datasource, and compare the values with actual document posted into the R/3 system. Respective fuctional consultant canhelp you a lot to confirm the data.
On BW side u can see the data in PSA and then check tranformations which subsequent change/update/reject data records based on the selective conditions.
hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it works.
Revert back if u need futher help/information.

Is there a dependency between source system patch level (IS-U) and BW 7.3

Hello everybody,
we think about upgrading our BW. Now there is the question if there is any dependency between source system patch level (IS-U) and BW 7.3.
Perhaps someone knows a note. I don't find anything.
Thanks

Hello Ingo,
we have also a Problem with the SSO between BOE Server and our BW Portal. Our Systems are in different Domains and we make all settings in BW as described in the SAP Documentation "http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a0/88a340fa432b54e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm"
but now we didn´t know what we have to to on BOE side to install the SAPSSOEXT and to get the corret UME Proberties that we have to put into BW.
Can you help us please on that issue? We can´t find any BOE Documentation for that and we working on that issue now for more then 5 weeks.
Thank you/Kind Regards

How to create UD Connect Source system and datasources.

I am currently working on BI 7.0 and I need to report on Standard Queries on xPD (Extended Applications Product Defination)
In the BI Cont library it states the data for this application is fetched using UDI rather than Table Extraction. Can anybody please help me with documentation on Steps for creating a UD connect Source system and UD Datasources and how I should proceed.

Connection Between SAP GTS and Legacy systems

Hi GTS Experts,
Could you please let me know how to connect between SAP GTS and Legacy systems.
This is for transfer of Customers, Vendors,Materials(Products in GTS),Transaction Data.
Could you please provide any documentation on this and is it PI team will do or functional guy.
One more question:
Customer created a sales order with sold to and ship to(both contains same address) in legacy system.
Then it will be sent to SPL screening in GTS.
Now he will change ship to address and this should not be passed to SPL screening-- how to do this.
Regards,
Murali

Hi Murali,
Apart from what Dave mentioned as above, although there is no such document available apart from SAP Standard content document but its something that is very standard to other modules as well.
Actually, you need to have a middle ware like SAP PI or any non SAP Product between SAP and Non SAP Legacy system. Also, mapping should be defined well in advance in this. Then it will also involve the EDI at the SAP GTS system end and Web skills( or applicale connection skills) at the Legacy system end to ensure appropriate mapping and interchange of realistic data.
Here, I would like to know if your legacy system had already some SAP system connected to it?.

Aman

Extraction failing after source system and client copy

Hi all,
We refreshed our source QA system with a copy of production. And basically tried to "restore" the connection from our BW QA system. Some of the datasources can be extracted from BW, others fail with an error of "No transfer structure is available for InfoSource 0COSTCENTER_ATTR in the source system".
Trying to do the same thing with RSA3 in the source system, works fine.
The strange thing is it works for some objects but not others.
here's what we did:
1. System copy from R3 Prod to R3 QA
2. Client copy with R3 QA client 300 -> 200
3. Restore connectivity in BW QA to the R3 QA system (Using RSA1 -> Source System -> Restore)
4. Now some objects can be extracted in BW, others fail as I mentioned above.
I have regenerated the transfer structures in BW and R3.
All of these objects that don't work seem to work in RSA3 on the R3 system but not in RSA1 on BW.
All the SAP documentation is geared to copying the R3 source system and then restoring connectivity between BW and R3. I don't think any of it involves copying the client in the R3 source system - which might be causing our problems.
We are using an SAP delivered PDF and note 886102 mainly for direction.
SAP PDF is "How to... System Copy in SAP Business Intelligence System Landscapes".
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
can you isolate somehow the kind of DataSource which works and those who don't?
Master data / transactional or client dependent and not, delta or full....
To which R/3 client is your BW connected? when you succeed loading the data, is it coming from the right client?
RSA3: do you run it specifying your BW client in the target sys field? does it make a difference if yes or if not?
Are your RFC connections and partner profiles all right?
Check some IDOCs sent by BW received in R/3 and vice-versa (RSSEND, RSINFO, RSRQST..). Load a hierarchy (via IDOC)... verify that your IDOC have the correct partner settings....
let us know
Olivier.

Connectivity between r/3 and bw

Hi
how do i check if the connectivity between r/3 and bw is established or not.
plz provide me steps, i m unable to find out if r/3 to bw connection is working fine or not
because though i am replicating the datasources from r/3 to bw, i cannot view the datasource in bw
for the first time
Regards

hello,
right click on the source system and select check.
If it is connected..it will say connection is ok.
or
in teh R/3 system,run T-Code sm59.
In ABAP connections, select your BI server and check for connection.
Reagrds,

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

Can't establish wireless connection between the printer and computer.

I recently upgraded my wireless to an Apple AirPort Time Capsule. I'm able to set up the printer via USB cable. And I'm able to set up the printer on the network via the Airport WPA utility. However I cannot establish a wireless connection between the computer and the printer. When I go to the printers window in my system prefereces, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu. Only the USB version printer is listed and of course when I disconnect the USB cable it shows as offline.I've tried all the fixes on HP's support pages. I've tried reinstalling the printer on both the router and the computer numerous times. The only thing I haven't done is reinstall the printer using the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download). And when I reset the printer to factory settings, then connect it to the computer via the USB, there is no installation software that pops up. Cant even find the **bleep** thing in "Finder". (I'm assuming that it should show up as some sort of external device.) I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network. (sometimes my computer will grab a connection with the next nearest network.) I've checked all the settings for the printer via the HTML configuration utility. I've even updated my Macbook software and restarted it multiple times. Note: the printer actually worked for a bit when I first switched routers, but the printer's wireless function went offline several times and then quit altogether. Really frustrated that I bought another HP product thinking this time things would be different. HP is no help unless you want to pay $$ for a phone call. I'm about ready to take this thing out in the desert to use for target practice and never buy another HP product ever again.

Hi , I saw your post regarding the problems you are having with your LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer not showing on your Macintosh computer. I may have found some resources for you.
I have a few questions for you, so I can offer some additional assistance:Before you upgraded to the Apple AirPort Time Capsule, was the printer working wirelessly without any issues?
When you say; 'I reset the printer to factory settings', how where you trying to do this?
I found some instructions from this post: How do I reset my Laserjet p1102w to its defaults, copied here for you:
To restore the printer back to factory settings, turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and the cancel button (x button) then turn the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise. (When they say turn the printer off, I think they mean unplug the power cable.)
"I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network." Do you know if you are able to access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS)?To access the EWS - Make sure that the Ready light () is on and that the printer is idle and silent.Press and hold the Cancel button (), and release it when the Ready light () begins blinking.The configuration page prints.Type the IP address or host name of the product in the address field of a supported Web browser, and then press Enter on your keyboardLet me know if this page loads
To answer a few more items you have listed:... When I go to the printers window in my system preferences, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu.This could be an issue with your print system, I recommend resetting the printing system and then Repair Disk Permissions - after that try to add the printer again.
... the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download)HP provides their software/drivers to Apple to be released through your Apple software updates. You can review this document on how to Install a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update. Which leads into your next point...
... there is no installation software that pops upWhen you connect the USB cable your mac may still recognize the printer software as being already installed - check for apple updatesOn the Mac, click the Apple menu (), and then click Software Update, or click About this Mac, and then click Software Update. A list of available updates displays.
... Not seeing the printer in "Finder" From what I understand most printers will not show in Finder unless you install a memory card into a supported port on certain printer models, only then will it read it like an external device. A few more things you can check are that the new settings in the Apple AirPort Time Capsule are setup to allow the printer to communicate. There are several of these settings listed in this document; Tips and Workarounds for Common Wireless Network Printer Issues. HP regularly releases firmware updates that may also correct the problem you are experiencing. You can click on this link to Getting Printer Updates for HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer. I did find 2 more documents that may offer some additional information as well;HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer - Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless NetworkAn 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Displays for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or the details of what happened. I look forward to hearing from you, hopefully with good news! Thanks,

How to set up internet connection between MacBook Pro and an old eMac?

I got an old eMac without wifi and a MacBook Pro. I'd like to share the network connection via ethernet cable to my eMac, but I can't get it work.
I'd like to use it with screenrecycler and it needs a network connection.
How to do it? How to set up the connection between the client and the host? Could somebedy give me a step by step guide?
Thank you very much

Hello,
First, are you using Wifi for Internet on the MBP?
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list, Wifi on the MBP.
In Shating on both, enable File Sharing, Screen Sharing, & Web Sharing on both.
Then with the Ethernet cable between the two, find the IPs of both, or use Finder>Go>Connect to Server>Browse... see what shows up.

How to test the connection between DSD backend and DSD connector

Dear all,
I am configuring the MDSD scenario .. and i want to insure that my customization is correct
How to test the connection between DSD Backend and DSD connector ??

Hi Viren,
The problem is:
We have a new BW system. The basis people asked me to check the connection between this BW system and the R/3. There is only one client for now(100). I have logged into 100 and tried executing RSA1 to check the connection, but it gave a message box saying "You can only work in Client 000". Then I have treid logging into 000(just to make sure) and tried executing RSA1. Even here I got a message saying "The SAP BW system must not be operated in client 000". Now, I am not sure of what is wrong in clien 100. I am not sure if I have to do some settings before I access RSA1 or any other BW transaction. Could you please help me in this.
Also, I just checked the RFC destinations in BW. There is a destination created for our R/3 and I have noticed that they have given a remote UserID and password for remote login. I tried to check the Remote UserID in SU01 but there is no userID with that name. Could this be a problem?
Thanks,
RPK.

How to Create an R/3 source system and load data from there

Hello All,
Till now I have only worked with Flat files. I want to create an R/3 source system and extract data from there on to my Info Providers.
Does anyone has detailed steps for that. I am using BW 3.5 system
Thanks n Regards,
Abhishek

1. Type Transaction WE30. Check iDoc types
2. Type Transaction SM59. Maintain RFC destinations
a.) Open the RFC Destinations. b.) Find your Source System and double click on it. c.) Technical setting should contain information regarding yoursource system d.) Logon Information should contain source system client and name & password for you remote logon. We use RFC_SAB for BW logon to R/3 and RFC_AAE for R/3 logon to BW. Password for both is always xxxxxxx. e.) Execute your 'Test Connection' & 'Remote Logon'. You should NOT be prompted for a password, if you are then the logon info is incorrect. f.) Repeat above to verify RFCs for other systems (CRM etc)
3. Type Transaction WE21. iDoc Processing Ports.
a.) Select 'Ports' and then 'Transactional RFC'. b.) Click on the Port # for you source system. c.) Verify description & SAP R/3 version.(BW 2.1C should be release 4.x) d.) RFC Destination should be one created in SM59. If non-existent then create one
4. Type Transaction SE16. Data browser (for R/3  BW Connections)
5. Type Transaction SM30. Msg Types & Assignment to iDocs
Enter 'EDIMSG' in the Table/View field. Click on the 'Enter Conditions' option for Restrict Data Range. Click 'Maintain'. Select Message Type. Then enter 'RSSEND' in "From' field. Verify that the Basic Type matches what is in your RSBASIDOCtable for each of your connections. If any are missing any entries you must create them as follows: Create another session and type Transaction WE30. Enter IDoc Type (ZSBAXXX) in Obj. Name field (Suggestion: Start new type with 'ZS' + Transfer Structure Prefix + (3)#'s) Select Create. Select "Create from Copy'. Enter 'RSSEND" in 'Copy From' field Enter Description (i.e. IDoc Type for BW Development) Execute (Green Check). Repeat for other missingentries.
6. Go to the SM30 main screen. Clients Overview
Enter 'T000' in the Table/View field. Click 'Maintain'. Verify correct Client and Description. If incorrect enter.
8. On BW Type Transaction WE20. Partner Profiles
9. On R/3 Type Transaction WE20. Partner Profiles
10. Check all is correct
