Data migration into cprojects

Hello,
We need to migrate some data from legacy non SAP databases into cprojects. We will need to create a pd and phases. Also populate some data into user defined fields on the pd.
Has anybody got an experience of this?
Options could be:
lsmw
microsoft project upload,
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Steve,
you need to scroll down and then the horizontal scrolling bar will be visible to see my full message (it happened to me as well).
Anyway, I am not a programmer myself, but here my understanding from what my developer told me:
you will need basically one progremme to clean the data and consolidated multiple xls into 1 upload file.
the second programme is to effectively upload the data. There are many BAPI's available, depends on what you need to upload, structures, docs, roles etc... Some BAPI's are create, some change. A list (not comprehensive) is in OSS# 882484. They normally start with BAPI_BUS21* (in sa38).
Cheers,

Data Migration into Sourcing

Hi
i am interested in learning how to migrate data into SAP Sourcing (7.0)
i have experience of data migration into SAP via LSMW, BDC and Custom upload programs.
However i do not have the same experience with SAP Sourcing.
Do SAP run a course for this?
or can some point me the direction of Help material/blogs where these detail could be covered.
i searched SDN and Google, but i am not finding the required information.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Barry
In e Sourcing also you can follow the same 3 environment scenario (Development, Quality and Production and additional cutover system if needed) based on SAP project management methodology. This is very similar to the multiple client scenario you have in case of SAP ECC.Here the concept is called multitenancy wherein multiple instances of e sourcing can be deployed in a single installation each having seperate database cluster. I would suggest you to look up multitenancy on forum for reference.
I dont think there are seperate tools for system rollbacks but database back up can always be taken.Databse rollback would allow you to restore the data to previous date. Apart from that server backup is always an option though used very sparingly. Database backup has served me well in all my deployments so far.
PI for integration is a good option. Apart from that standard ECC integration package is provided with SAP with proper checks maintained to avoid any data corruption/ data loss issues.
Hope this helps!

Mass data load into SAP R/3 - with XI?

Hi guys!
I have an issue - mass data migration into SAP R/3. Is XI a good solution? It will be about 60GB of data. Or is there a better way of this data load?
Thanx a lot!
Olian

hi,
SAP doesn't recomment using XI for mass data migration
and 60 Gb is certainly too much
use LSMW for that purpose

Dear Rao,
Just check the bwlow link you can understand easly to upload the balances.
http://www.saptechies.com/sap-pdf-books-download/SAP_Go_live_strategy11248141773.pdf
Check the bwlow procedure for the same way do it.
First create 5 Dummy GL codes. These GL code should be zero at the end of uploading balances.
1     GL Offset Account               Dr
          Asset Offset Account          Cr
          AP Offset Account          Cr
          Sales          Cr
          Other GL's          Cr
2     Cash               Dr
     Consumption               Dr
     Asset Offset Account               Dr
     AR Offset Account               Dr
     Material Offset Account               Dr
     Other GL's               Dr
          GL Offset Account     x     Cr
3     AP Offset Account               Dr

New GL Data Migration

Dear All
We are going to migrate from classical general ledger to new general ledger with scenario 3. We have done all the necessary configuration related to new general ledger and also completed the testing. In this regard I would request if any one has experience of data migration from classical to new general eldger.
Thanks and Best Regards
Farhan Qaiser

Dear Mark,
We had faced the same issue & our communication with OSS brought the following points to the fore:-
a) The decision to activate doc-splitting MUST be made before go-live.
b) The migration tool required for data migration into doc-split related tables is planned by SAP but not yet available.
c)Subsequent activation of doc-split causes serious problems as per note 891144.

Data Migration for Open Purchase Order

Hi, All,
Is there anyone know how to Count the volume for Open Purchase Order. What's the normal strategy for the Data Migration and Cut-over stage?
My client want to know how many Open Purchase Order in the legacy system and then determine manual or automatic data migration. If manual, how to do? If automatic, how to do? Because all materials and vendors, plants are different number. How to track? How to find out to match between new and old?
Thank you very much

JC,
Sounds a bit early to be making decisions about the realization phase. It doesn't sound like you have finished the Blueprinting phase yet, much less the testing phase.
Anyhow, in my experience I typically use LSMW (Legacy system migration workbench) to load MM master data (material masters), Inventory (WIP, RM, FG, etc) Purchasing Master data (Vendors, Purchase Info Records, Source Lists, Quota Arrangements), and Purchasing transactional documents (POs, PurReqs, Scheduling Agreements, etc). Depending on the complexity and volume of data, it may be necessary to write custom programs to load the data. You will find this out during your requirements gathering.
It is uncommon but possible to load all of these data manually. I have never run across a client that wants to pay a consultant's hourly rate to sit at a terminal to peck away loading master data, so if the client intends to have his own users enter the data manually, the project manager should make provision that there will be qualified TRAINED client employees available for this data entry. I did help with a portion of a conversion once manually; of Sales Credits, but there were only about 30 SD docs to load. I did this the evening before go-live day, while I was waiting for some of my LSMW projects to complete in the background.
A good opportunity to 'practice' your data loads is right after you have completed your development and customization, and you have gotten the approval from the client to proceed from the pilot build to the full test environment. Once you have moved your workbench and customization into the client's test environment, but before integration testing, you can mass load all, or a substantial portion of your conversion data into the qual system. You can treat it like a dry run for go-live, and fine tune your processes, as well as your LSMW projects.
Yes, it is good practice to generate comparisons between legacy and SAP even if the client doesn't ask for it. For Purchase orders on the SAP side, you could use any of the standard SAP Purchasing reports, such as ME2W, ME2M, ME2C, ME2L, ME2N. If these reports do not meet the requirements of the client, you could write a query to display the loaded data, or have an ABAPer write a custom report.
You didn't ask, but you should also do comparisons of ALL loaded data - including master data.
It sounds like you are implying that the client wants YOU to extract the legacy data. For an SAP consultant, this is not very realistic (unless the legacy system is another SAP system). Most of us do not understand the workings of the myriad legacy systems. The client is usually expected to produce one or more legacy system technical experts for you to liase with. You normally negotiate with the technical expert about every facet of of the data migration. In addition, you will liase with business users, who will help you and the implementation team to logically validate that the final solution (turnkey SAP production system, fully loaded with data) will meet the client's business needs.
Finally, you mentioned how do you track the mapping of master data between legacy and SAP. There are many ways to do this. I normally try to get the legacy person do the conversion on his end, eg, when he gives you the load file, you would like to have already translated the master data and inserted the SAP relevant values into the file. If this is not possible, I usually use MS Access databases to maintain a master map, and I perform the mapping on a PC. If your data package is small, you can probably get by using MS Excel or similar.
Good Luck,

Data migration

Dear all my friends,
please help to share me about data migration before go-live FI system.
i plan to migrate GL acct balance, AP/AR open item and last 3 months historical data.
please help to show me : how should i do ?
thanks !

1. Normal GL Accounts: In this case line items are not required and totals are to be updated in SAP. This can be done using GL fast entry if the number is not too high.
2. Open Item Managed GL Accounts: All the open line items are required to be uploaded in SAP from Legacy in order to clear them. Hence, a LSMW / BDC program has to be developed to upload the line items.
BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST - for GL/AP/AR
BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST - for AP
BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST - for GL
GL Balance
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Dr GL a/c Credit Data migration Account or Clearing Account
3. Customer & Vendor Open Items: All open line items in Customer and Vendor Accounts have to be brought in into SAP. For this also a LSMW / BDC program needs to be developed and upload the line items.
Vendor Balances
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Credit Vendor a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
Customer balances
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Dr Customers a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
4. Asset Accounting: In case asset accounting is implemented the individual balances of each asset (Gross Value and Accumulated Depreciation) have to be uploaded using transaction AS91. For this also you need to develop a LSMW / BDC program. Further, you also need to update the GL Accounts related to Asset Accounts with totals for each asset class T.Code OASV.
For uploading the Assets
AS91 -> for uploading assets in AA
OSAV --> for uploading assets in GL entry Dr Asset (individually) Cr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
You can use LSMW for uploading all these things
After uploading all, your data migration account will become zero

Data Migration of FI-CA Cleared Items

Hi,
Currently I am working on a Data Migration project to migrate data from our FI-CA module on ERP 4.7 to ECC 6.0.
THere has been a request from the business to migrate historical data (e.g. Cleared items).
Is there a SAP recommended approach or tools to load this data into the target environment?
Currently all documentation around SAP data migrations talks about stategies for open item data migration however I have seen nothing arouund migrating historical financial data.
Is this because it is not recommended or technically impossible?
Regards
Adam Gunn

That BAPI is used typically for straight out vanilla GL, AR, AP postings, however you still have to create the other side of the entry and then clear it.
I need to be able to migrate full history, which means from an FI-CA viewpoint:
1. Migrate FI-CA posting of liability against BP/contract account.
2. Migrate associated payments.
3. And then clearing documents.
Basically the requirement is to represent the historical data in the new system as if it was posted and matched off.
Is there a technical way to do this?
OR,
Do you migrate the FI-CA liabilties, then the associated payments and then run clearing on the target system?
I suspect this is almost an impossible data migration requirement as development of the extraction and load process would be extremely complex and testing would take months to cover all posting scenarios in FI-CA. However, I would be interested if anyone has attempted to do this before.
Adam

Data Migration from SAP r/3 to SAP R/3

Hi all,
What is the best method to migrate data from one verison of SAP to another verison of SAP ECC say from SAP 3.1 to SAP ECC 6.0?
This is for all SAP modules including sd, mm, pp, fi, co master and transaction data. I know there are number of technologies to load the data such as LSMW, IDOC, ALE, DI, etc but what is the best way to extract all data feeds to be loaded back into SAP.
Thanks in advace.

Objects are like.,
1. Accounts
2. Actuate Reports
3. Active Campaigns/Campaign Content/Dispositions
4. Contacts
5. Contracts
6. Opportunities
7. Payment Arrangement History
8. Payments

Hello,
for migration into CRM I would suggest the 'XIF-Interfaces'; these are interfaces provided in CRM for connection to external systems. I'm not sure if this will cover all objects mentioned above, but at least some of them should exist.
Some information about existing interfaces can be found in the integration repository under http://ifr.sap.com/index.html; from the start screen first select 'Enter the repository' and then have a look under 'generic components' and 'SAP CRM'.

Oracle Legacy System to SAP Data Migration

Hi Experts,
New to data migration:
Can you guide me in how oracle staging is useful for data migration:
Here is my few doubts:
1. What is Oracle Staging?
2. How Oracle staging is useful for data migration?
3. I see few ETL tools for data migration such as Informatica, Ascential Datastage etc. but our requirement is how can we use oracle staging for data migration?
4. What are the benefits in using oracle staging for data migration?
Expecting your response of above queries.
Thanks,
--Kishore

Here is my few doubts:
1. What is Oracle Staging?It is where ODI creates temporary tables. It does the transformation and if required cleans the data aswell.
2. How Oracle staging is useful for data migration?ODI loads source data into temporary tables(staging) and applying all the required mappings, staging filters, joins and constraints. The staging area is a separate area in the RDBMS (a user/database) where Oracle Data Integrator creates its temporary objects and executes some of the rules (mapping, joins, final filters, aggregations etc.). When performing the operations this way, Oracle Data Integrator behaves like an E-LT as it first extracts and loads the temporary tables and then finishes the transformations in the target RDBMS.
3. I see few ETL tools for data migration such as Informatica, Ascential Datastage etc. but our requirement is how can we use oracle staging for data migration?
4. What are the benefits in using oracle staging for data migration?You can refer https://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/entry/designing_and_loading_your_own

Hi
I am getting the below error while importing MS project into cProject.
Error occurred when importing from Microsoft Project
Message no. DPR_UI_BSP116
Diagnosis
When a project is imported from Microsoft Project, the system generates an XML string during internal processing. A project is then created in cProjects from this string.
The XML string contains errors because the values from Microsoft Project were transferred without verification.
Procedure for System Administration
Notify SAP or call the cProjects application with the "DebugMode=X" query string and carry out the import again.
The XML string that was generated temporarily is then validated against the cProjects XML schema. The error message from the XML parser is then displayed in the popup.
Kindly suggest, if the below steps for importing MS project is ok or not?
step 1: Create project in MS project with tasks.
step 2: Maintain maping fields of MSP in cProject configurat
step 3: Import MPP file into cProject using "Import" button.

Data Migration from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010

Hi,
We have done a migration project for one of our client.
This migration was done from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint Enterprise Server 2010.
After the migration was completed we developed lot of new webparts, lists ,application pages in this newly migrated farm in SharePoint Enterprise Server 2010.
However the entire project took around 1 year due to some unavoidable delays. During this one year our client was using MOSS 2007 sites for there work. hence the data in MOSS 2007 farm/sites was continuously updated.
Our client needs to go live in next month and also needs the sites/lists/libraries which are migrated in new SP 2010 farm to be updated as per the MOSS 2007 farm.
Kindly suggest best possible way to achieve this data migration since last 1 year from MOSS 2007 to newly migrated SharePoint Enterprise Server 2010 farm.
Kindly note we have done lot of customization and new developments in newly created SP 2010 farm.
Thanks and regards,
Amien

Hi there,
If you have already taken care of customization on SP2010 server. Then use any of the migration tools available in market to migrate data to target SP server.
Content Matrix gives free 25 GB to migrate your SharePoint data (https://www.metalogix.com/Resources/Promotions/Content-Matrix-Migration-Express-Download.aspx).
If you don't know what is changed in last 1 year, then best thing to do is add new content database and migrate your data into it.
Hope that helps.

Tapan
