Convert Delivered 3x Business Content to BI 7.0

Hi all,
All Standard Content is delivered in 3x (Transfer Rules / Update Rules etc). How can I convert all this Standard Content into BI 7.0 (Transformations etc) with minimum effort. Is that possible? Also can one DataSource be used for both 3x and 7.0?
Cheers

Hi davy Dave,
I will give step by step processer of migration for 3.x to 7.0
here we need to copy to msword   all Routines Which is Containg updateroles as well as tranformation roles.why because if any any Error comes in while Creating tranformation it is helpful for us
1)First select updateroles->Right Click->Addotional functions---->Create Tranformation
    Here we need to select the Copy infosource 3.x to New info source
   Here give the name of infosource with Zof 3.x infosource name and click ok
2) Next to 7.0 folw check the tranformation where it activate or not if not Activate please activate and once check the maping is right or not
3) next go to transfurroles--> rightclick>Addotional functions-->Create Tranformation
    here one dailogbox open and click ok
4) onceagin the 7.0 folw check the tranformation where it activate or not if not Activate please activate and once check the      maping is right or not
5)final Step is go to datasource -
> rightclick---->click on Migrate
   Hereselect the With Export
I am also doing same processer.....hope helpful for you..........

XI Business content for MDM - Syntax error in IDOC adapter

Hi mates,
I'm trying out the Master Data Harmonization scenario for Vendor data with R/3 as the client system. I'm using SAP delivered XI Business content for MDM. The mapping program is generating ADRMAS and CREMAS IDocs but the IDOC adapter reports that there is a syntax error in ADRMAS IDOC. Find below the details.
<i><SAP:Category>XIAdapter</SAP:Category>

Strangely, the control record is blank. I looked at the XSLT program, it is coded that way. I do not understand the reason. Is the error pointing to the control record?
Look at the code sample from XSLT mapping program
<xsl:for-each select="IDOC/*/E1ADRMAS">
     <IDOC BEGIN="1">
     
          <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1"/>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
     </IDOC>
</xsl:for-each>
How can an IDOC w/o control record be posted?
Did anyone come across this error? Whats wrong/missing?
I appreciate ur inputs.
thx in adv
praveen

Moorthy,
I tried reloading the IDOC metadata from IDX2. Still I get the same error.
Regd, IDOC w/o control record, can u elaborate on "dynamic value while posting IDOCs". From where, XI message SOAP header with Business System replaced by corresponding logical system names?
Thanks

Datasources in 3.X in a new BI 7.0 Business Content Activation

Hi all,
When Installing Business Content for a BI 7.0 Installation, some objects like Datasources, Transfer Rules and Communication structures are activated under 3.X format.
Is there a way to install all Business Content in 7.X format, different from a migration process (which is a manual process)?
Does this extractors (3.X) have any performance issues in case of use them exactly as they are delivered from Business Content?
Best Regards
Jaime Benavides.

Thanks all for your answers.
I understand that a migration process can be executed to old 3.X datasources, but this is a manual process.
My point here is that the activation of a brand new business content of an Instalation NW 7.01 enhancement package 1 and with a Bussines Content Release = BI Content Add-On 4 SP 03 have some elements (datasources) in 7x Version (transformations and DTP´s) and some others in the old 3.x version (transfer Rules and communication structure).
In the moment of ACTIVATING the Business Content, there is not an option to migrate, but the standard Business Content delivered for this scenario is sometimes 7x, and sometimes 3x (i.e. CO_OM_CCA extractors).
I need some documentation to point that, besides some best practices of regular UPGRADES, the STANDARD deliver of a business content of this scenario contains both 7X Datasources and 3X Datasources.
Thanks a lot for all for any additional ideas.
Best Regards,
Jaime Benavides.

Can't create DTP for cube migrated from business content to 2004s

I am in the process of converting 3.5 Business Content InfoProviders to the new model for 2004s.
Master data was not a problem, but Im having a hard time getting InfoCubes to migrate.
I installed 0PUR_C03 from Business Content and replicated the DataSource into the Data Warehouse.
I right-clicked 2LIS_02_S013, selected Additional Functions, then chose Transformation erzeugen (a.k.a. Create Transformation in English).
The transformation is generated with no errors and it was activated. The DataSource is migrated automatically in the process.
Then, I went to add the Data Transfer Process and that is where I got stuck.
I right-clicked the cube and took Create DTP. For source type, I selected datasource. A dialog box then shows the objects associated with the cube, including the converted infosource, but nothing is highlighted for me to choose from, and I cant complete the process of creating the DTP.
Can anyone tell me where I might have gone wrong?

u got it...

Data Flow Question in newly Migrated Business Content Install

Hi, I just converted my Purchasing Business Content from 3.5 to 7.x. This Content Loads the InfoCube directly from the Data Source. After my DataFlow Migration I am left with still having an InfoSource.
Here is a picture of my Data Flow
http://i55.tinypic.com/258b7zs.png
I thought I would not have an InfoSource after all of this. Is this correct?
Thanks for any help with this...

Hi, Kenneth,
I beleive it's absolutley correct result after migration.
I had the same thing with infosources when migrating 0sd_c03 and never had issues with that.
Infosurces can be used in 7 data flow as sometimes it's a good thing to have additional transformation between source and target (allow for more flexibility in data transformation)
By the way your infosurce also migrated as its a 7.x infosource now. I beleive it has a different object type compared to old 3.x infosurce. You can actually check the object type in se11, Tadir, select by your infosurce name.

Business Content Change

Hi ,
Can we change the objects delivered by sap Via Business Content . for example if an attribute needs to be added to an infoObject delivered by business content then can we change the business content infoobject after installing it to ur specific needs . Will it give any error in future while transporting, upgradation etc....
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,
You can make the changes in the infoobjects provided by SAP but you need to map the fields with the help of Exit so that you can populate the data into them.
Also, the idea should be copying the standard one to your Z object.
Hope it helps!!!!

Business content for FI-SL

Is there any business conent object for FI-SL in BI side ( I mean cube, DSO, or queries, etc) ?
We are going to implement FI-SL. The only thing I can find is that I have to generate the data source by myself. I don't find anything at BI side. Is there any sample queries, cubes ?

Hi ,
FI-SL DataSources cannot be delivered by SAP with BW Business Content for non-standard ledgers,
because the ledgers and their FI-SL totals tables may link to user-defined fields and structures.
All other FI DataSources (FI-GL, FI-AR, FI-AP) are delivered with Business Content.
To provide an FI special ledger DataSource for BW, an extract structure (=transfer structure) must be
generated for the FI-SL totals table in question. You then have to define the DataSource for the totals
table ledger.
Check this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw32/helpdata/en/c9/fe943b2bcbd11ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm

Converting Business Content to 7.x

Hi, It looks like some of SAP Business Content is still in 3.5. Once it is installed on my dev system should it be converted to 7.x?

How to deliver/bundle/package your own business content

Hi all,
I´m resubmitting this question that hadn´t response more than 1 year ago:
Hi there,
We have developed some custom BI content for an external system (incl. custom extractors, ODS objects, cubes and queries). Is it possible to package this solution somehow so that it is bundled with SAP BI Content as part of it? What are the steps. Is there any other solutions of packing this product?
thanks
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I do not see how your custom developments can be packaged with SAP's Business Content.
However you should be able to take the .CO and .DAT files of your transports and import them in a new system chain and utilize it. I have done this on the R/3 side but not on the BW side. This would need to be experimented with on the BW side to check what needs to be tweaked to make it work.

Identifying business content based on requirements from Functional Doc

Hi everyone,
I have a requirement to create technical documents from functional documents that I have received. The funct. docs describe the report to be created however, the fields that the user is looking for are basically in plain English (or atleast what the user sees in Peoplesoft). We are implementing SAP and everything is to be converted from Peoplesoft. The fields are as follows:
Year, YTD, Month, Company Code, Cost Center, GL Account #, GL Account name, Report Date, Actual Amount, Budget Amount, Variance Amount.
The functional doc I feel is incomplete since we dont have the source system table and field names in ECC that correspond to the users fields. Anyway, I think the idea at the moment is to create a first draft TD using Business Content. Can someone please tell me what area they think these fields are from? It looks like FI. Does anyone know of any Business Content objects that may contain the some of the users fields (chances of finding all in say one cube may not be high, am I right?). I am new to BI, so please spell everything out in simple terms and a step-by-step manner. I really appreciate the input of all the experts on this forum.
Thanks. <removed by moderator>.
Edited by: Siegfried Szameitat on Nov 25, 2008 3:44 PM

yes MD you are on the right track
But I would advise you to use the ASAP methodology and run blueprint workshops first before even approaching technical specs
If you dont know how the R3 system is structured how can you build a tech spec?
In the workshop there will be functional R3 guys as well as BW consultants and the clients
The clients bring their high level requirements to the table and everybody dicusses it
What you dont want to do is assume that std R3 objects are going to be in place
With the exampel you have given - this may be the only place where budgets have been discussed - the FI guys havent catered for it - so how are you goign to deliver it
I have given you the content areas in my last post I would expect the data to be in - I would suggest you go to the BI content area of help.sap.com and look for each of the areas I have given
Unfortunately there is not enough space here and I dont have enough time to step you through it step by step - thats what Principal BW consultants and architects on your projects are for - talk to them.
If you haven't got any - I suggest your project manager better go out quickly and hire some.
I would strongly advise you to gointo solution manager or sdn and grab hold of the latest ASAP accelerators and ppts - they will help guide you through functional requirements gathering - btu to be quite honest you shoudln't be doing this yourself if you are new to BW
(oh and every wondered why clients pay top dollar for good BW consultants - this is the reason why)

BI 7.0 Business Content

I have to activate Financial business content including GL(new) and AP. I am wondering if the data flows have been converted to the 7.0 format? I am wondering if anyone can point me to a list which clearly indicate which ECC business content is now delivered in the new 7.0 format?

Hi,
I think that only the new scenarios are in BI 7.0 formtat.
The rest are in BI 3.5, if you would you can convert automatically with right buton over transfer rules, datasources, ...

Business Content for CRM

All,
We are in the Blue Print phase of our CRM project. During the Integration of CRM 7 EHP 1 to our BW 7 EHP 1 system we notice a parcular issue. After executing all the necessary steps on both the CRM side and the BW side, we notice that only a handful of data sources are being activated when choosing the RSDS activation mode. The work around, we had to delete the datasources we want to use but that were not automatically activated, and then reactivate using 3.x mode.
Both systems are on the latest SPS and both systems have the same version of SAP_BW and BI_CONT 7.04. Is this the way it is suppose to work? Is business content delivered on 3.x version? Do we need to convert Business Content to 7.0 before trying to activate it?
Thanks in advance.
Jose

Hi,
CASE-I
Maintaining the same SPS Versions and Datasouce version is differant.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/ca/85f911c4bda4479af0a062bd9dfa94/frameset.htm
CASE-II
As you are upgradeing to CRM 7.0. I guess you have to upgrade the datasouce to BI 7.0. To enjoy the recent advantages/functionalities of netweaver . Upgrading is a process of enhancing to a newer version, facilitate to roll back to older version if require.
Migration from BW to BI7 after all upgrade you can migrate 3.0 objects to 7.0 read this article

DataSources
New DataSources have been created for NW 2004s BI Content Add-On 2 and SRM 5.0. These are described here, along with their extraction logic.
The following graphic shows the data flow from the DataSources to the DataStore objects
Structure
Each DataSource has an extraction structure and a data extractor. Generally, this is an RFC-capable function module.
There are two types of extraction: Specific extraction and generic extraction:
Specific extraction is strongly oriented towards the data model of the BI System and the necessary extract structure. It executes DataSource-specific processing steps.
The logic contained within the generic extraction is implemented centrally and can therefore be reused by the specific extraction modules. The generic extraction deals with access to the SRM database and is similar for each DataSource.
Generic and specific extraction
Extraction logic in detail
Data extraction involves the following six function modules:
InitLoad
InitLoad is called as soon as an initial upload is started in the BI System. In other words, it is executed when data is loaded into the BI System for the first time. The module can restrict the data extraction according to filter criteria that were defined in BI during extraction (for example, extract the data for a particular timeframe). InitLoad packages the data before it is transferred to the BI System.
DeltaLoad
DeltaLoad is called when a document is modified in the SRM System. The module writes data that has accumulated since the initial loading to a delta queue.
Data Collector
The Collector reads the required data from the database in the source system. For performance reasons, the data is then buffered in system-internal tables. The tables have the same structure as in the database. This saves time and effort, because data conversion is kept to a minimum.
Data Consolidator
The Consolidator groups data that belongs together from a business point of view. The consolidated data is stored in internal tables and is prepared for further processing.
Data Normalizer
The Denormalizer prepares the source data for the BI System. It calculates key figures that are required for the report but are not contained on the database and converts data types in the source system to data types of the BI System. Depending on the BI data model, the system now decides how each row is filled with data.
Data Mapper
During mapping of the data, the system defines which fields of the denormalized data structure are assigned to the fields of the extract structure. In this way, flat and one-dimensional lines are generated from the data.
The following table shows the technical names of the function modules of the individual DataSources:
Description

Finding fields in R/3 for data extraction VS Business content

Hi all,
I am doing my first BW project after my training and I am finding it difficult to locate some fields that should be part of my report.
The Consultant says Sales Group, Inco terms, Open orders, Account assignment group, Sold to party, ship to party, Payment terms, Document currency and base currency, Complete deliver indicator, Order type and Count of Complete deliveries required should all be in the Order while transmission type and number of transmissions should be in NAST.
I have gone to R/3 - RSA6 to look at datasources and found 2LIS_01_S260 (Sales order) to have most of the fields but not payment terms, complete delivery indicator, open orders base currency and count of complete deliveries required. Also in Sales document header data, these fileds are not there.
Is it a case of not understanding the correct name of the fields if they are described in a different manner in R/3 or I have not done the proper thing? Can I just use an infocube in BW business content to get all the required objetcs -(infocube, infosource, datasource).
Thank you

Hi,
Finding the correct Infoobject and it's mapped field is a job of BIW consultant. But the problem is how to find them and how to frind respective R/3 field and it's table. You will be familar with them as your experience increases.
So you need to list of fields you require and then find out the Datasource/s which can give these fields by going through the Business content help or using LBWE Tcode in R/3.
The datasource you mentioned is obsolate one. i.e 2LIS_01_S260 .
You better to go wtih new DSes like 2LIS_11_VAITM,2LIS_11_V_ITM.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw31/helpdata/en/8f/36f338472b420de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
If allmost all fields are avialable in a DS , then you can check the possibility of enhancing the DS for remaining Fields.

How to install the Business Content Cube 0PP_C02

Hello,
Can you please explain me how to install the Business Content Cube 0PP_C02 .
What are the nesessary steps involved in this process. How this Standard Cube is available in
AWB -> Modeling.
What are the nesessary steps involved in the R/3 side.
CAn you please help me in this.
Thanks alot.
Regards,
Anitha

Hi anitha
TRy this
To transfer and activate a DataSource delivered by SAP with Business Content, in transaction SBIW in the source system choose Business Information Warehouse à Business Content DataSources or Activating SAP Business Content àTransfer Business Content DataSources.
The following figure displays the DataSources in an overview according to the application component.
       2.      Select the nodes in the application component hierarchy for which you want to transfer DataSources into the active version. Do so by positioning the cursor on the node and choosing Highlight Subtree.
The DataSources lying under the subtree and other subtrees are selected.
       3.      To check for differences between the active and delivery versions of the DataSources, choose Select Delta.
DataSources for which differences were found in the check (for example, due to changes to the extractor) are highlighted in yellow.
       4.      To analyze the differences between active and delivered versions of a particular DataSource, select the DataSource and choose Version Comparison. The application log contains further information regarding the version comparison.
       5.      To transfer a DataSource from the delivery version into the active version, select it in the overview tree using the button Highlight Subtree and choose Transfer DataSources.
If an error occurs, the error log appears.
Regardless of whether data has been successfully transferred into the active version, you can call the log by choosing Display Log.
       6.      To provide the active version of the DataSource in the connected BI systems and to enable data extraction and transfer, replicate the DataSource(s) with a metadata upload to the BI system.
and in RSA1 in businuess content search ur required cube and select all the req fielsds in the next colums and select before and after is a must..in the selection field..
this will solve ur issue..
