Data extraction through generic data source

Hi sap-BI experts,
i created the infoset query by using these transactions
SQ01,
SQ02,
SQ03 and the tables used are EKKO,EKPO and MARA.
and when i wanted to extract data from generic data source through infoset query
i am getting an error like this
'' specified table doesnot exist".
can i get the answer
Thanks,
Kavitha.P

Hi,
Do u selecting your info set under extraction from SAP query (Tcode - RSO2)? Make sure your infoset query active & available for reporting.

Hi, Bi Gurus
I am trying DATA MARTING i.e. I wanna extract data from RSMONICTAB nd RSREQDONE tables of BW(3.5) into a ODS in same BW(3.5)
means from tables RSMONICTAB and RSREQDONE tables I created a view
with required fields
then I created Generic data source on it.
--> I created coresponding Inoobjects --> ODS.
-->I loaded this ODS from that Generic datasource.
And I am getting this error?????????????????????
what to do???????????????????????????????????????

Problem during extraction using generic data sources

Hi
While performing extraction(master data) using generic data sources I am getting a problem.
while selecting application component, I am unable to find SD to select it.What should I do?
I selected CRM as application component and did the extraction , it is successful.
But what about if we want to select SD? I am guessing it as an installation problem ... Anyone plz help me
Thank you
Deepthi

Hi Deepthi,
Looks like the RFC connection between source system and BW system is broken..
Contact your basis team to check the connection what went wrong.
once the connection is re-established you can gohead ...
Try out this procedure
Type Transaction SM59.
a.) Open the RFC Destinations.
b.) Find your Source System and double click on it.
c.) Technical setting should contain information regarding your source
system
d.) Logon Information should contain source system client and name &
password for you remote logon.
**Suggestion : our remote name for our R/3 was ALEREMOTE. We use
BWREMOTE so that we can monitor without confusion.
e.) Execute your 'Test Connection' & 'Remote Logon'. You connection
should be You should NOT be prompted for a password.
f.) Repeat above to verify RFCs for other systems

SPM data extraction question: invoice data

The documentation on data extraction (Master Data for Spend Performance Management) specifies that Invoice transactions are extracted from the table BSEG (General Ledger) . On the project I'm currently working the SAP ERP team is quite worried to run queries on BSEG as it is massive.
However extract files are called BSIK and BSAK of; which seems to suggest that the invoices are in reality extracted from those accounts payable tables.
Can someone clarify the tables really used, and if it's the BSIK/BSAK tables what fields are mapped?

Hi Jan,
Few additional mitigation thoughts which may help on the way as same concerns came up during our project .
1) Sandbox Stress testing
If available u2013 take advantage of an ECC Sandbox environment for extractor prototyping and performance impact analysis. BSEG can be huge (contains all financial movements), so e.g. BI folks typically do not fancy a re-init load for reasons outlined above. Ask basis to copy a full year of all relevant transactional data (normally FI & PO data) onto the sandbox and then run the SPM extractors for a full year extraction to get an idea about extraction system impact.
Even though system sizing and parameters may differ compared to your P-box you still should get a reasonable idea and direction about system impact.
2) In a second step you may then consider to break down the data extraction (Init/Full mode for your project) into 12 monthly extracts for the full year (this gives you 12 files from which you Init your SPM system with) with significant less system impact and more control (e.g. can be scheduled over night).
3) Business Scenario
You may consider to use the Vendor related movements in BSAK/BSIK instead the massive BSEG cluster table as starting tables (and fetch/lookup BSEG details only on a need base) for the extraction process (Index advantages were outlined above already).
Considering this we managed to extract Invoice data with reasonable source system impact.
Rgrds,
Markus

Master Data Extraction through Open Hub services(InfoSpoke)

Hello,
I need your help on this issue,
Here is my scenario...
I want to extract Master data from BW (Info Object) as a file and put it in a server then later that can be picked up by some other deprtment for their process. This process has to be automated to run on a weekly basis.
I know this can be done through a InfoSpoke(either ATTR or Text) and Process Chain but I want both attributes & text data in a single file because through InfoSpoke we can get either ATTR or TEXT data in a file.
1)Is there any way we can have both TEXT and ATTRIBUTEs data in a single file.
2) Also what are the options to transfer the file from a BW app server into another non-BW server?
Currenty I created a BEx query against a InfoObject, ruuning a report and sending them the file manually. I want to automate the process.
I would appreciate if you could give me input on the above.
Thanks
BI Consultant

Hi,
The simpleset way to do is to create a ODS with the required columns and map it to your TEXT and ATTR. Then you could use either a Query or a Info Spoke to extract data how ever you want it. Since you are using master data it would have been validated, so you don't need to use a reportable ODS, which takes time to activate the data. So create a info set on top of the ODS and do a simple query if you want to use it. If you want to automate completely and deliver the output as .CSV file to the destination server you may have to do little bit more and that will involve some serious ABAP work. The simpleset would be have a ODS 'Non reportable' and extract the data using info spoke.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks,
Alex.

Data Extraction from Multiple data sources into a single Infoprovider

Hi Experts,
Can anyone send me links or examples on how to extract data from multiple data sources into 1 Cube/DSO.
Can anyone send me example scenarios for extracting data from 2 data sources into a single Cube/DSO.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Ashok,
Check the following link from SAP help. Ths is probably what you are looking for.
[ Multiple data sources into single infoprovider|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
Data from multiple data sources which are logically related and technicall have the same key can be combined into single record.
For example, if you have Sales order item and sales order item status .
These both have the same key - sales order and item and are logically related.
The Sales order item - provides information on Sales order item - material , price, quantity, plant etc.
The item status - povides information on delivery status, billing status, rejection status....
These are two different data sources 2LIS_!1_VAITM ad 2LIS_11_VASTI.
In case you have few master data attributes coming from different systems ie tow data sources in different systems say completely defines your master data. Then you could use a DSO or infoobject to combine the records.
If you want to see aggregated data you use a cube.
ie say you want to analyzae the customer revenue on a particular material and a particular project.
The project details would come from Project syatem and Sales details fom sales flow.
The data is then combined in the DSO with key cutomer and sales area say.
Then it is aggregated at cube level...by not using sales order in the cube model...so all sales order of the same customer would add while loading the cube.. to give direct customer spend values for your sales area at aggregated level.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Data extraction from transctional data source

Hi all,
In bw 3.5 I am fetching data from r3 , vendor evolution(2LIS_02_S013) is name of that data source it is transaction type data source at that time data source(2LIS_02_S013) successfully replicate in bw
after it i make infoarea and its charactics and attribute and then create application component and create infosource but when i assign that data source to my infosource it can't show in pop-up or say i am unable to assign it
can anybody tel me why i am unable to assign transactional data source to my infosource

Ok what does it say when you try to assign InfoSource? Can you tell me more.
In the InfoSource Just on top of Transfer Structure there should be Assign DS Button click on this and assign DataSource or else Right Click on the DS and Assign InfoSource.(If you have IS created)

Extraction through master data attribute not working

Hi All,
In my ODS, i have a field Sales Document Item, with attributes ship-to-party, sold-to-party, etc.
Now, ship-to-party and sold-to-party are extracted using the update method master data attribute of Sales Document Item.
For some of the Items, the ship-to-party and sold-to-party are getting extracted properly, but for others, they are returned as blank; even though these records are present in the master data for Sales Document Item.
Kindly provide your inputs for this issue...

Hi Apeksha,
Check your transformations.for those "ship-to-party and sold-to-party "
Thanks,

Issue with Data Extraction for Master data

Hi All,
I have requriment to enhance standard Datasource(0VENDOR_ATTR) to populate certain fields from table LFBK.
I have enhanced the datasource and the i am able to pull the data in ECC via RSA3.
After that i have replicated the Datasource in BI and have activated the Datasource and the enhanced fields are available in BI datasources and have created the transformation between Datasource and 0VENDOR.
when i run the infopackage, the new enhanced fields are not getting populated. I really wonder how the data is not coming to BI, when its is getting populated in RSA3 in ECC.
Request to give your solution to solve this issue.
Regards,
Gowrisankar

Hello Gowrisankar N K ,
After making changes to your 0VENDOR_ATTR DS, make sure that you had replicate DS at BI side.
if not then please first Replicate the DS & check the newly enhanced field is available in PSA.

Divyesh Khambhati

Generic Data Source and InfoPackage Data Selection

Hello, I'm trying to extract data from a generic data source (composed of a view joining 4 tables) using the Data Selection Criteria in an infopackage. Sometimes the selection criteria is ignored and more data is pulled than expected. The number of selectable items in the generic data source has been reduced (in case this was an issue) and for a short time the infopackaged pulled the expected number of records. Then another change was made to the generic data source and the problem returned. In any case, the transported generic data source does not work in the target system either. I'm not sure what is causing this to happen. Any ideas??? BW 3.5.

Sue

Hi,
Some of the datasources will not have default Infopackages for them.You can create the infopackages according to the requirement.There is no big deal for creating Infopackages.You can go ahead creating them.

Detla Infopackage Creation problem at Generic data source

Hi Experts..
In 7.0 BI I'm loading data in infoCube through generic data source ( type Table View). I have loaded the data first time ie Full mode. Now I would like to change update mode full to Delta. i have tried to create new infoPackage with DELTA Update MODE but this option is not available. as i have used Transformation and DTP to fetch the data in Info cube. in data souce Generic Delta is enabled at Numeric pointer.
your help will highly appreciable.

You have to fill in the Delta-Specific Field Name for any of the options. Numeric pointer is usually a document number that is guaranteed to increment with every change. This would not be a good choice for documents that can be changed after initial creation, or for number ranges that are buffered across application servers (unless you can set the safety limits to compensate).
After that, create and run an init InfoPackage, then you will be able to create a delta InfoPackage.

Data Mart and Data Extraction from an Infocube

Can a data mart which is built on one Infocube in BW support delta extraction? We have two separate BW systems and are trying to extract data from one Infocube in one BW (Source) and load it to one Infocube in another BW(Target)?
We have built a data mart on the source BW infocube and have successfully been able to extract and load the initial data load into the target BW infocube. I noticed that the field 0RECORDMODE was not on the datasource that was created to support this data mart so my gut feeling is that we will not be able to do delta data extractions from this data mart. Any feedback or confirmation of this?

Hi,
The InfoCube that is used as an export-DataSource is first initialized , meaning that the current status is transferred into the target BW. When the next upload comes around only those requests will then be transferred that have come in since the time of initialization. Different target systems can also be supplied like this
Since it is request based ..data mart on info cube supports delta.
Hope its helpful,
Anu.

Use of Catalog data Extract concurrent programs

Hi All,
1. What is the use of Catalog Data Extract - Classifications, Catalog Data Extract - Items Concurrent Programs in Purchasing?
2. To load the items from inventory to iprocurement whether the above two concurrents are must?
Kindly help me in giving a clear idea about it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Simbu...

Hi Simbu,
The mentioned program works only in 11i, as R12 follows different mechanism.
Yes, to load the items and categories to iProcurement mentioned programs are must in 11i.
Need to make sure, item got a list price in the purchasing tab and purchasing category is published to iProcurement.
You should run Catalog Data Extract - Classifications prior to running Catalog Data Extract - Items program.
Thanks,

Data Extraction or IDOC to flat file

hi,
I have a project to create a flat file from SAP, for an external legacy system. There are 3 requirement.
What approach should I take. Simple data extraction OR Idoc to flat file.
There are 4 requirements:
1. first time extract all data.
2. on subsequent run, extract only changed & new records
3. if in SAP table, a record is deleted, then marked deleted in flat file.
What approach should I take if I use data extraction.
Thanks.

I read your question, my first thought would be to look at where the data is going?
What are the data requirements of the legacy system. IDOCs can speed up the development related to pushing the data out from SAP. Using ALE and change pointers you can automatically pass out the delta with a limited amount of development.
However, the receiving system then needs to parse the IDOC data. depending on the IDOC you are working with this can be a challenge especially if the legacy developer doesn't get IDOCs.
Sometimes its easier to collect and write the data from SAP using "simple data extraction". The data is more readily organized into a format the receiving system is expecting.
You can also pass the idoc to a middleware maping application if one is available and do the SAP to legacy mapping there.
Cheers

Generic Extractor source code

Hi ,
I made a generic extraction. I can find the extractor name in ROOSOUCE table. The extractor names are getting generated for all my generic datasources, But im not able to view the souce code of my extractor in se37 or se38. Can any one guide me how to find my source code for my generic extraction. Is it possible to see?
Regards,

The step by step procedure is as follows:
Create your extract structure (let's name it EXTRSTR); this extract structure will have a field on which your Delta (of type timestamp or other supported); its name: DELTAFLD.
create a function module (EXTRFM) as a copy of RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE.
Create a generic DSource (GENDS) based on EXTRSTR and FM EXTRFM. Enable this generic DS for delta, type timestamp on field DELTAFLD.
