Data migration- partial migration of files (LSMW)

hi gurus,
when a file is partially loaded (due to errors), and when the errors are corrected, does the file need to changed to include only the ones that need to loaded or can the same file be loaded with the errors corrected,
points will be awarded
thanks
ganga

Dear Ganga,
If the LSMW upload has created a batch input session in SM35, then the session created would appear with errors. If the errors were in the upload file, then the file has to be corrected and only the error lines have to be reuploaded. If the errors were due to some configurations and some master data, and the same are now corrected, then the same line in SM35 can be selected and reprocessed. Only the error lines will get reprocessed.

I had a data migration done from old iMac to new iMac, how do I use that file to find my old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

I recently had a data migration from old iMac to new iMac 11.2
How do I use that data file to get old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

FireWire cables are dirt cheap and that's how you should be doing the migration. You might have to start over, wiping the new machine's HD, and restoring the software as described in the Everything Mac manual that came with it. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac for more details.

Data Migration from CSV file to Database Table.

Hi,
I have checked few answered threads on Data Migration Issues but didn't find the solution yet.
I am reading data from an CSV file to internal table but the complete row is coming under one field of the internal table.
How i can get values in different fields of the internal table from the CSV file ?
Thanks & Regards.

Hi,
If you are using GUI_UPLOAD, you might have missed to make has_field_separator as 'X'.

LSMW data migration porcess from the beginning

Hi gurus,
I do understand that there are 14 steps to be completed during migration, but can anyone give me a basic idea as what needs to be done prior to the above steps when starting a data migration project, as i have been only involved in the LSMW(14 steps) process before.
Thanks in advance, points will be awarded for all answers.

Hello
As an intro:
Classical data migrations are typically limited to master data and
tend to cause multiple negative impacts on workflow and oper-
ating business units.
To minimize costs, risks, and effort during a data migration and ensure a smooth changeover for operational business processs items, and better reporting
capabilities SAP recently come with a Data Migration Solution called SAP Accelerated Data Migration tool.
This advanced tool, coupled with support from the SAP Services organization and SAP partners, lets you easily migrate and integrate application data from any legacy system into SAP applications and reduce migration costs significantly.
Data migration is done in 4th phase i.e. the final preparation stage of ASAP methodology.
As far as LSMW is concerned, BDC and LSMW both are use for loading data into SAP system. The difference is ,LSMW is loading tool by SAP where you can use various methods to upload, massage data or cleansed your data while loading into SAP from legacy system. The method can be BDC, BAPI, Idocs or SAP ABAP codes. Usually in BDC the user has to write an ABAP program or use other utility to load legacy data.
LSMW has been developed mainly for the Functional people who has no knowledge of the technical aspects of report or BDC in ABAP because its very user friendly and handy to use. So, simply they can upload the master records using LSMW.

Look in /Users. If you ran Migration Assistant after the intial Setup Assistant, it tends to create a new user with your stuff in it.

LSMW , how the same is related to data migration,.

HI Experts,
please explain the concept of data migration.
What is LSMW/ how the same is related to migration,
what are the other types of data migrationo other than IDOC & BDOC in sap crm.
IS there any there other tools that helps in data migration,
if so , what are they.
Can a functional guy be able to do the data migration in LSMW.
thanks & regards

Hi Prajith,
I second Venkat, but also you need to know about Data Transfer Workbench in CRM.
Go into the IMG and follow the path: Customer Relationship Management>> CRM
Middleware and Related Components>> Exchanging Data With External
Components>> XIF Adapter Setup>> Inbound Direction>> Settings for the Data
Transfer Workbench and LSMW>> SAP Data Transfer Workbench.
Here's the help from SAP for the Data Transfer Workbench:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/0d/e211c5543e11d1895d0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
That should take you where you need to go. Good luck!

Data migration in LSMW with CRM_XIF_PARTNER_SAVE

Hi,
for a data migration of business partners from a legacy system into a CRM 5.0 system I want to use the CRM_XIF_PARTNER_SAVE or CRM_XIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M IDoc. Everything works fine when I migrate a business partner with only one address and only one bank account, but what settings I have to make that I'm able to migrate a business partner with multiple addresses and bank accounts?
I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance,
Timo

Hi Timo,
you need to repeat the corresponding IDoc segements for "Bank Details",
eg for IDoc CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE01 (display via WE30 or navigate via BDFG).

You can try the same for address data. Note: you don't need to renumebr the repeated segments in the IDoc, the "system" is doing it ...
Be sure that the sequence of the other segements after the duplication is still the same, or you get an error.
Go to transaction WE19. There you key in an existing and successfully posted IDoc. Then you can edit this Idoc, insert the new segements for additional phone numbers for testing.

MIGRATING DATA FROM EXTERNAL HDD (PC FILES) TO NEW MBP

I am new to Mac and am in need of migrating all files from my old PC to my new MBP. All my files are on an external HDD, since I am no longer in possession of the PC. Is there a quick and easy way to migrate all my files over? When I use the migration assistant, it is not recognizing my HDD; however, I do see my HDD under 'Devices,' where I can drag and drop files to my MAC. Needless to say, that may take forever to do. I would appreciate some assistance. Thanks in advance!

Hi Clinton
I how you dont mind contacting you re a similar issue
I had two pcs stolen had backups on an external hard drive
I purchased a macbook
some how copied itunes library (not through migration assistant)
but now have thousands of images and program files (PC) and program logs migrated from the hard drive
is there another way around this
thanks

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 from Legacy System in IS-U

Hi All,
We are going to Implement a new IS-U project, I have a problem with LSMW(Legacy System Migration Workbench ), I have some Conversion Objects of IS-U and I need to know whether Data Migration is possible or not, please tell me how to find these Objects and how to know Data Migration is possible or not.
Objects are like.,
1. Accounts
2. Actuate Reports
3. Business Partner Relationships
4. Active Campaigns/Campaign Content/Dispositions
5. Connection Object
6. Contacts
7. Contracts
8. Opportunities
9. Payment Arrangement History
10. Payments
11. Premises
12. Rate Changes
13. Security Deposits
these are few and there are some more..,
Thanks in Advance,
Sai.

Hi Ram,
Use Transaction Code EMIGALL. It will ask for company code. By default Company Code is SAP. If you entered with the SAP you will get all the objects.Then goto menu IS-U Migration-->User Handbook. It will give you details Idea.
Also Check the following Procedure
You can find detailed documentation of EMIGALL in SAP itself. Use Transaction EQ81 to display it. It provides all the concepts and procedures to work with EMIGALL.
Here are some points about EMIGALL :
1. It Migrates data Business Object wise
2. It uses Direct Input Technique
3. It has more than 100 objects of IS-U
and the steps for implementation goes like this:
1)You have to create a user specially for migration which will have all the authorizations related to migration workbench, BASIS and IS-U
2)You have to create your own company in EMIGALL. There is a default company called SAP.
3)Company SAP contains all the Business Objects
4)You have to figure out what business objects u need and then u have to copy those business objects to ur company from Standard Company SAP
5)Each objects contains more than one structure and each structure can contain more than one fields. The relation goes like this
Object ---> Structure ---> Field
6)You have to define field rules for each required field of the object. You have to mark "Not required" for fields u don't need
7)After field rules for a given object is set u have to generate load report i.e. actual Direct Input Program which will migrate data. This program is generated on basis of field rules set by u.
8)After the load report is generated u have to prepare an input file (import File) for migration. The import file should be according to structure provided by SAP and must be in binary format. SAP Provides the structure of file according to your configurations. You have to write ur own Data conversion program(in any language) for this task.
9)You take import file as input and migrate the data using generated load program
10)Finally u can check the Migration Statistics and Error Log
Thanks and Regards,

How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3.

Hi All,
How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3 system.What are all the possible ways to move bulk data from Oracle Apps to SAP r/3 system.
Provide any 3rd party tools which supports data migration and also pls rpovide the SAP's own data migration tools with supports the above feature.
Awaiting for best possible solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Dharmaraju

the 3rd party tool is ETL , you can use ETL tool and the prepare the load files then you can use LSMW method to upload the data to SAP.

SAP Accelarated Data migration

Hi All,
Could someone kindly provide more info about SAP ADM. I am uanble to get any info about the same. I would like to understand as to how exactly the tool works. I have the 4 page PDF that is posted on the site but its not clear on the actual tool. Can someone kindly provide me with some document or screen shots or any more info about it. My mail id is [email protected] Could someone kindly reply at the earliest.
Thanks
Prahlad

Hi Prahlad,
Go through this hope u can understand.
With SAP Accelerated Data Migration, you can reduce migration
costs by as much as 50% and avoid interruption of business
processes. Moreover, shutting down the source system after
migration reduces system administration costs and total cost
of operations. In short, you realize the following benefits:
Significantly reduced cost and time to complete migration
projects
Accurate, cost-effective data transfer applicable for any kind
of source system
Better data quality because of preconfigured business objects
that ensure data consistency
Improved end-user productivity and acceptance thanks to
migration of historical data
Effective migration that avoids interruption of business
processes
Full support services to avoid risks and ensure the optimum
performance of your new business applications
Faster return on investment
In short, a smoother, more cost-effective migration to a new
technology solution ultimately positions your organization
to lower your total cost of ownership, maintain competitive
advantage, and pursue new business opportunities.
Expertise in Action
SAP Accelerated Data Migration applies a business objectoriented,
two-step approach that uses a neutral interface as a staging area
and predefined migration content for the conversion and upload
of data. The neutral interface enables the SAP tool to generate
predefined migration content and prevents all potential legal
issues regarding the intellectual property of any source-system
vendor. The whole data migration process from the source to
the target system consists of just two steps, as follows:
1. Data is extracted from the source system into the standard
interface as XML files.
2. Data migrates from the interface into the mySAP Business
Suite database. The migration is based on a new migration
workbench engine developed by SAP based on the SAP
NetWeaver® platform. All requirements for mapping structures
and fields and developing complex conversion rules are solved
within this engine (see Figure 1).
Once the migration is complete, business-unit end users have
access to all the legacy data in the new applications as if it had
originated there. They can continue to work on the existing
business process items in the new applications and benefit from
improved functionality.
Lifting the Limitations
Much of the cost and effort involved in classical data migrations
are generated by migration content development, as follows:
Identifying business objects for migration to properly support
the business
Defining the structure and field mapping for the relevant
business objects
Developing conversion rules for all necessary value mapping
Readily available migration content can simplify this effort.
SAP Accelerated Data Migration provides preconfigured business
content, helping you migrate it to your new system more efficiently
and rapidly. The tool allows the migration of all types of
data, independent of its current state within a business process.
This includes master and dynamic data, as well as partially
processed and historical data, to minimize data loss. Business
processes are uninterrupted and normal operation procedures
can be retained.
By providing a standard, neutral interface and reading data as an
XML file, SAP Accelerated Data Migration is applicable for any
kind of source system. Preconfigured data migration objects built
specifically for SAP applications significantly simplify the conversion
from non-SAP software data into SAP software data objects,
yielding far-reaching benefits. Besides reducing related IT costs,
you can be certain of consistency across business-object boundaries.
Through a direct insert into the database, you avoid the
performance limitations of classical data migration.
Reward points if helpful.
Thanks

Transaction Data Migration

Is there a "best practice" for transaction data conversions from a legacy system into R/3? I am in a project where I have to create a strategy for SCM transaction data (PO's, Inventory, Vendor Invoices, and so on). I would like to know the pros and cons of migrating a PO in their various stages (Open, G/R but not yet invoiced, Partial G/R). Basically a strategy to propose to my client regarding their SCM transaction data.
Thanks for your help!!!!

hi,
For uploading the GLs :-->
Use FB50 entry Dr GL a/c Credit Data migration a/c or controlling a/c
For uploading the Vendor balances : -->
Use FB60 entry Dr Data migration a/c or controlling a/c and credit Vendor a/c (individually)
For uploading the Customers balances :-->
Use FB70 entry Dr Customers a/c (individually) Cr Data migration a/c or controlling a/c
For uploading the Assets-->
AS91 -> for uploading assets in AA
OSAV --> for uploading assets in GL entry Dr Asset (invidiually) Cr Data Migration account or controlling account
You can use LSMW for uploading all these things
After uploading all, your data migration account will become zero.
For posting the transactional data use LSMW for relevant TCODES
