COPA Data Source: possible to enhance using exit?

Hi BI experts,
I got a question about if it is possible to enhance COPA data source by using user exit (just like the way to enahance other data sources in the business content).
The background:
I have to include several new fields in COPA data source. Since COPA data source is generated (not a data source from business content like LIS data sources).
My questions:
1) Is it the recommended way to enhance the existing COPA data source using exit?
2) or it would be better to delete the existing one and create a new one with the two additional fields?
3) any potential issue to be expected?
Your feedback and help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sally

Hi
1) Is it the recommended way to enhance the existing COPA data source using exit?
Yes, we can enhance COPA DS via User Exit, Provided the fields should be from other different tables which are not from Segment Tables.
2) or it would be better to delete the existing one and create a new one with the two additional fields?
If the fields are from Segment Tables, it is always better to delete the existing one and Recreate the same
3) any potential issue to be expected?
Appending/Enhancing fields are always bit difficult and my lead into errors in future, based on the critical functionality we use.. But I recommend DELETE THE DS AND RECREATE WITH COPA always.Hope it helps

  • How to enhance copa data source.

    Hi,
    I have to enhance copa data source 1_co_pa300beka_o01. Actually I have to add one field vstel from VBAP table to this data source.
    Can you tell me full procedure about enhancing data source ?
    It can not be done directly. I think i have to delete and re-create data source in R3 system.
    For this i have to do all thing in KEB0 .
    Am i right?
    So please tell me full procedure to enhancing copa data source also tell me if i enhance copa data source , which type of problem can be come at BW side.
    Thanks

    I'm not sure if we can enhance CO-PA datasources. Even if you can enhance, whenever there are changes to the Operating concern in R/3 you would have to delete and re-create the datasource. While doing this you would have to re-do the appends again. DS 2lis_11_VAITM extracts data from VBAP. Check if the datasource already brings this field. Otherwise enhance it. In the CO-PA dataflow lookup the DSO which has VBAP data from the datasource and get the necessary field.
    Other option is to ask functional folks to add the field to the CO-PA operating concern.

  • COPA data source delivers incorrect values

    Hello
    We have one PL report in R3. I generated COPA data source and use it to extract data in BW. However, there is a difference between report in R3 and report in BW. Is it possible that COPA-generated data source does not bring correct values? How to check it and correct?
    I am 100% sure that report on R3 and BW uses the same logic.

    Hi Aleksanders,
    Check some of the values using RSA3 tcode and check the difference between these values and the R/3 Report values...If there is a difference then datasource is not created properly...if it is matching then on bw side..load the data as of time and compare it to R/3 data.....definitly it helps you....

  • COPA data source does not allow delta - once more

    Hello,
    When I try to generate COPA data source (tran KEB0) the system already have "Generic delta" in delta method field.
    I want to use timestamp instead of that. How I can switch to timestamp?
    A

    All COPA datasources are timestamp based (which is a generic delta method).
    I do not think you have an option to change it (not that there is any need since it already is what you want ie timestamp based), the system automatically creates a timestamp based delta method (each delta extracting records upto 30 min back from the current extraction time). Do not worry about the 'generic delta method' appearing in your KEB0.

  • COPA data source does not allow delta

    Hello,
    I wanna generate new COPA data source. I did it but it doies not allow to establish delta.
    Where I go to Simulate initialization of delta method and try to determinate time stamp the system tells me that "Function is not possible because data source is defined for generic delta"
    How can I establish delta???

    Aleksandrs, normally you only have to run a init load from BW. Then only delta packages.

  • COPA data source - add a field

    Hi Experts,
    I got answer to the question that I asked for adding ship-to party to COPA data source and in operating concern.
    Now, when I go to KEB0 and display datasource, it doesnt show my added field ship-to party as checked.
    so, help me understanding
    1) how can I apply the change in operating concern to datasource? or make field visible in extract structure
    2) if i delete the datasource and re-create it, will my CE1XXXX, CE2XXXX, CE3XXXX, CE4XXXX are cleared or not?
    3) I have active delta running on COPA datasource, what are the steps to ensure contnuity of this delta?
    4) if i need to fill newly added field in the CE1XXXX, CE2XXXX, CE3XXXX, CE4XXXX tables (historical value for ship-to), how can I achieve this?
    5) what steps I need to take care while transporting these changes to prod?
    Thanks,
    Purvang

    HI,
    Following steps will help you...
    1) use "KEQ3" to activate "KUNWE" characteristics for Ship-to Party
    2) Add the field in your data structure in tcode "KEA0".
    3) Activate and generate the "Operating concern"
    Please revert back if you still need help.

    Hi Ramesh,
    Thanks for your reply. It is in internal format only. I changed it to external and selected ALPHA conversion also but it's of no use. I don't know why. Is it the error on BI side or R/3 side?

  • How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source

    Hi,
    I created Oracle jdbc Data Source named "MYDS" in Visual Admin.  I added the alias = MYDS_ALIAS.  I set the Initial Connection to 2.  On the Monitor tab, I see a green line running across the screen.  The datasource MYDS is connected to the Oracle.
    Now, I would like to define "data-sources-alias.xml" to use MYDS.
    When creating data-source-aliases.xml it creates the alias by default on ${com.sap.datasource.default} which is the default DB.
    I followed the link --> How to point data-source-aliases.xml to another Datasource
    and my data-sources-alias.xml is now:
    <data-source-aliases>
         <aliases>
              <data-source-name>$</data-source-name>
              <alias>BRANCH50DS</alias>
         </aliases>
    </data-source-aliases>
    The "EAR generatation has finished successfully", but when "Deploy to J2EE Engine", I got the error below:
    1) How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source?
    2) I found the link (SDA Deployment error) talking about "sda-dd.xml".  How to create "sda-dd.xml" and make it use substitution variables "MYDS"

  • The '' secondary data source is not a relational data source, or does not use an OLE DB provider.

    Hi,
    We are using Teradata as data source in SSAS 2008R2, it’s using ‘.Net Providers\.Net Data Provider for Teradata’.
    In DSV, we have two data sources both using Teradata. While processing dimensions, all dimensions coming from secondary data source has error message”
    The '' secondary data source is not a relational data source, or does not use an OLE DB provider.”
    But we are not using OLE DB provider for now, we’ve searched some threads that named queries can be replaced for secondary ds, but since we have a lot of tables, it’s hard to implement using named queries.
    Any inputs would be appreciated. 

    Hi memostone,
    When defining a data source view that contains tables, views, or columns from multiple data sources, the first data source from which you add objects to the data source view is designated as the primary data source (you cannot change the primary data
    source after it is defined). After defining a data source view based on objects from a single data source, you can then add objects from other data sources.
    If an OLAP processing or a data mining query requires data from multiple data sources in a single query, the primary data source must support remote queries using
    OpenRowset. Typically, this will be a SQL Server data source.
    Here are the restrictions:
    The primary data source should be SQL Server and support OpenRowset to the secondary data source.
    Or you design the cube in such a way that rocessing for each object only needs to access data from a single data source
    I recommand you refer to the following article:

  • PLIKZ field for COPA data source not there in Extract structure.

    Hello all,
    When I create a data source for COPA the PLIKZ field from the segment level is not maintained in the Extract structure and it is not replicated to BW also. But the other field GJHAR is maintained in the Extract structure which is also there in the segment level!!
    Clarify me why it is not available in extract structure? Also we are in 4.7 version and 3, 5 in BW.
    Points will be assigned!!!
    Thanks

  • Copa data source (urgent urgent)

    HI friends
    M newly jioned in BI. in reports some fields are showing blanks. i cheked in BI side every thing ok. i cheked the in the source system in RSA3 data for that data source(copa data source) ter also same fields are missing.this is COPA extraction. i think main problem is DATA SOURCE is it corrcte ?.  i need to check some wer else.plz m in confuse plz advise me.
    Regards

    Hi
    Usually, if the data is missing in COPA, then the next source will be veryfying SD data.
    Say some of the condition types were created in SD module but those were not updated/mapped/configured in COPA, so obviously those values/fields will be missing in COPA and BI.
    Hope this helps.
    regards

  • How to edit copa data source or change delta method.Need t-code/procedure

    Hi gurus,
    I have a copa extractor in production.The copa extraction is costing based.
    I need to get an extra field from CE1**** table. when i go to KEB0 and display , i see my required field under the chracteristics from segment table. It is unchecked.
    I want to know the transaction where i can go and  edit the datasource to check that field and bring that data in.
    I tried going to T-code KEDV. But i couldnt figure out what to do there?
    I also tried deleting and recreating the datasource, then i am able to check that field. The problem is earlier existing data source used to say,
    Delta Method     Time Stamp Management in Profitability Analysis
    now it says
    Delta Method         Generic Delta.
    how do i change the delta method from generic delta to Time Stamp Management in Profitbility Analysis. During creation in KEB0 it doesnt give any option to change.
    and what exactly is the differnce between both delta methods?
    plz post your inputs.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Ravi,
    I would expect you are communicating to your users that you will need some downtime for you to change this.  To add characteristics to COPA you actually have to first the delete the datasource in KEB0 then re-create the datasource.  I would work with your CO-PA config team to get the T-Codes necessary to assign those objects to PA.
    Please reference OSS note 392635 for further reference on your CO-PA timestamp question.  This should answer your questions here.
    Pls. assign pts if this helps.
    Thanks,

  • 64bit CR-Enterprise wont talk with 32bit data source, 32bit IDT wont use 64bit connection for universe. How do I connect them.

    Hi.
    I installed the full suite of tools as I am involved with a company intended to become a partner and reseller so we are trying to get everything working.
    SAP Crystal Server 2013 SP1
    BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform
    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
    SAP HANA
    SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP1
    SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
    SAP Crystal Dashboard Design 2013 SP1
    Crystal Server 2013 SP1 Client Tools
    SAP BusinessObjects Live Office 4.1 SP1
    .NET SDK
    I found out that BI was needed only after I installed all the others but I installed it without problem.
    My issue is that the Information Design Tool (IDT) which creates my universes successfully, and even lets me open and see the dada no problem. Is using a 32bit (ODBC connected to SQL Server 2008) data source.
    However, I am unable to load the .UNX in crystal reports (CR) 2011, so I used CR Enterprise (CRE) to connect to my universe. Now when I try to open the universe I start getting the following error:
    [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
    When I do searches online I get very generic information relating to setting up data sources. While I believe the problem is indeed with the data source, I don't believe it is setup wrong.
    When I access the universe using the IDT (which uses the 32bit version of the data source to build its connection, it wont let me use a 64bit) I can load a table under the "result objects for query #1" press refresh, I get a list of data.
    When I access the same universe using CRE (which "Seems" to use a 64bit data source, but I am not sure), and follow the same process as above. I get the above error.
    If I cancel the process, when CRE lists the fields for the report I can later manually map these fields to an ODBC connection. But if I have to do this what is the point of using the universes at all as the end user has full access to all the various DB's available in the data source.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    On the server where Crystal Reports Server is installed, create a 64-bit ODBC connection with the same name as the 32-bit connection.  CRS will then automatically use the 64-bit version of the connection.
