Data Migration questions

Hi,
I'm in the process of migrating my SQL Server 7 database to Oracle 10g R2 using SQL Developer (Version 1.5.1).
When migrating the data, the process terminated half way through due to network problem.
Is it safe to re-do the data migration from there?
Will SQL Developer migration workbench "know" when to pick up from where it last stop? Will this create duplicate records in the target database?
Any recommendation on the best approach to migrate the data will be much appreciated.
Thanks
wilora

Hi Wilora,
SQL Developer will not "know" of the previous data migration.
You need to truncate all your tables first. You can write a quick script to do this.
SELECT 'truncate table ' || table_name || ';' FROM user_tables ; -- obviously be connected to your migrated user.
Then perform the data migration again. Online data migration is only suitable for smaller datasets ,say <100 mb. If you have a network issue again. I would truncate the tables so they are ready to receive the data again. And use the offline data move method.
Heres a quick viewlet of the offline data move

Legacy Data Migration - question on conversion

Hello All,
We are trying to build a generic tool which could help the conversion process in data migration.
For eg, If the material name in legacy starts with AB (AB6790), the same has to be referred in SAP as SQ6790.
So its replacing initial few characters during the conversion process.
Like this, I am expected to collect possible scenarios and
develop a generic tool, which can cover some possible conversion conditions.
Can you please help me with such scenarios, which you may have come across in project needs.
Thank you.
Meenakshi

Rahul,
I strongly suggest you do a search in the CRM General & Framework Forum on this topic. If you are looking for specific objects to migrate there are several posts on the major data elements in crm (transactions, business partners, products).
In general the technique is to use the LSMW combined with the XIF-IDOC adapter to convert data into the CRM system.
My blog here will explain the general process:

IPad1 to iPad2 data migration questions

Hi,
Before data migration from iPad1 to iPad2 (backup and restore/ sync), I assume that we need to have the updated iTunes software (on Mac/ Windows). Is it necessary for iPad1 to have updated version of firmware before data migration to iPad2? Is it okay if iPad1 firmware be the same or older version of the iPad 2's firmware?
Is it possible to have 2 iPads backup on iTunes?
Is there any specific suggestion for data migration if we are going to migrate huge amount of data (>15 GB mainly business applications, library files) from iPad1 to iPad2? Any possible issues which I can eliminate/ reduce beforehand by custom setting in iTunes?
Thanks for your help.

I'll try to shed light on this:
1) I think it's best to activate the new iPad as a new device, but you'll get people that disagree. I say start your iPad 2 fresh as a daisy. The version of iOS will not matter in this case.
2) Absolutely. Just give the new one a different name, so there is no confusion. itunes will keep track.
Like iPad 1 = dotexe.....iPad 2 = dotexe2. Or similar.
3) No, not in itunes. Just make sure the data is all selected in itunes as to source, etc. And the apps are all selected, before you sync.
Hope this helps...

Backup and Data Migration Questions????

Sorry for the multiple post, posted to fast and placed in wrong post....
But anyway... I am considering getting the Droid X (Android 2.1) and I will be changing over from a Imagio (WM 6.5) and since I am new to the whole Android OS, I was wondering what is the best way to transfer all my data from the Imagio to the Droid X once I recieve it? I have looked at a application (Sprite Migration) that seems to make the migration process rather simple that can be found at http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/migrate/how -does-it-work- but I was wondering if anyone has used this application and how well did it work?
Second I was also looking at the Sprite Backup application also for my system backups of device, I used the Windows Mobile version before ojn my Imagio and it worked well but I decided to stay with SPB Backup because I was already use to the program since I have used it for a number of years....
Is Sprite Migration and Sprite Backup a quality product to use on a Android device because I want to backup the stock image into a file before I start modifing my device and learning the ins and outs of the unit.
Any feedback would be appreciated

Hi Wildman,
Yes you are correct, Sprite Backup offers a much more complete backup.
We backup everything that can be done without root access.
We are also now on many handsets in ROM, with even more access. We hope to see more manufacturers, (4 so far, but not Motorola yet) bundle us on their devices (approx 1.2 million devices with us in on Android).
If you already have moved to your new Droid then it's probably too late. However, Migration is a great solution for moving your data painlessly across to the android device.
I appreciate you used SPB, a fine product on Windows Mobile. I am sure you are aware of our 18 million Windows mobile sales of Sprite Backup (the other camp , the majority are actually bundled on devices there also)
We have a strong support staff, so if you have any questions please fire them off to us.
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/
To give you an idea of what Android Backup covers, please read this
http://www.spritesoftware.com/getmedia/0e592ab4-61bb-4f6d-a218-b6df82669a18/Android-Backup-v2.0-User-Guide.aspx
Migration is soon coming out as an OTA service, for a carrier or two
As you have pointed out, contacts sync (like for winmo active sync) is great, but there is a lot more on a device.
Many thanks

Data migration via MigGUI - questions with Sync

Due to some issues we encountered (logistics) with file compression/quotas, here's what I'd LIKE to do, but not sure if it can be done:
1) Create a miggui project called like: VOL1
2) But when I go in to select the items to be migrated, I don't want to select the entire volume, but rather specific "top level" directories.
3) Start the migration during business hours
4) Then when we're ready, kick everyone off and do a final "sync" to get the items that were missed (due to being open or whatever) the first time.
The questions:
a) Can I have multiple data migrations within the same project but each one defined as a specific directory? Or will I need to make multiple projects for that?
b) The Sync only relies upon date/timestamp right? But on OES (with NSS) there's like 3 timestamps I think, so which one does it use/compare against?
c) We've seen issues with people's GroupWise Archives where the miggui will see new dates/times in their Archive (index files, etc.) but a Beyond Compare CRC check will show the data is actually the same.

Multiple File systems? What is your source server? Traditional and NSS
volumes can be dragged and dropped within the same project. On Linux,
NCP and NSS volumes can also be done in the same project. More info on
this please...

If your source server is NetWare 5.1 then there was a bug in tsa500.nlm
which caused files on the destination to be off by an hour. The fixed
tsa500.NLM can be found here:
NOVELL: Downloads
If your source is not NetWare 5.1, then some questions:
1. All the files and directory migrated have their timestamp off by 1
hour? So on src if a file has modified time as 10-Oct-2009 12:32 on
destination after migration the file has 10-Oct-2009 11:32?
If yes, then we'll have to investigate more...
2. The miggui logs being off by 1 hour looks like DST (Daylight Savings
Time) settings are not applied on JVM running in your server. Because
miggui uses Java api to get the local time which in-turn gets it from
JVM that uses the server time. So in any case, the time stamps should
not be different, since we uses only local time.
You can perform one check to confirm the DST is applied on JVM or not.
Download TimeTest-20070923.jar from IBM java site,
IBM - Guidance on updating Java SDKs and JREs for Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes
and execute "java -jar TimeTest-20070923.jar" at console and verify with
server time.

Multiple File systems meaning when you open the migration utility and click the Add button, an item appears called: File System. You can only have ONE of those per project. What I had wanted was to be able to put multiple "file systems" in the project so that it would do one at a time, so that if we had problems on one, we could re-run just that one item. Instead, I have to create multiple projects with a File System item added that does a specific top-level folder. It works, just a lot more tedious with keeping multiple projects and having to constantly re-authenticate.
Source server is NW 6.5.7
I've got an SR open.
The log files in the miggui filesystem.log are off by one hour (but not on the other two servers we've done). When I looked in Windows Explorer at the file creation times (when it migrated directories and whatnot), those were also off by one hour.
But the system time showed correctly, so that's where we're trying to figure out why and what went wrong.
First Novell tech said it was because we had set hardware clock to Local Time, not UTC (but my other two servers are set to local time and didn't do this).
Just thought it was odd that the system time would show one thing, but the file system would show something different. But it's been escalated to backline so hopefully we'll figure it out.
Tech support was also under the impression that the SYNC operation in miggui did not sync files, only metadata. That would be bad if that's the case.

Questions on data migration....

Hi all,
I'm currently facing the problem that my colleagues from the data migration team are about to migrate legacy data to the new system using BDC/LSMW.
1.) Is it true that the system bypasses any checks concerning number ranges (even if the range doesn't exist at all)? Example: They're about to migrate master inspection characteristics. Let's assume that the old MIC had the number 1234 and the new MIC is supposed to have the number 0001_1234. Do I need to create and assign the external number range?
2.) If I don't need the number range described under 1.) and I do the migration accordingly (again NO number range created and/or assigned). What would happen if I access this MIC in the future and try to use it in an inspection plan. Would the system reject the usage because there's no number range or would it work normally?
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated. Please let me know as well, if I need to post it in a different forum.
Regards,
Bobby

Hi Boban,
Defining of number ranges before you transfer the masters is must. For numeric titles use SAP std number range for Alphabetic one use external range.

Data Migration from 11i to R12 Global - Open POs,lines, receipts & on hand upload, Is it possible to do the onhand qty upload with over riding of all receipts which uploaded against Open PO lines?

Hi Friends,
We are in a phase of data migration from 11i to R12
I was discussed with client & they wants extraction of all open POs which was generated after 01 Jan 2014 to till date in 11i.
Condition for open POs is PO qty-received qty=>0
critical Example for open PO is :PO no: 10 has 4 lines, 3lines full qty has been received & for 1 line partial qty(say 50 out of 100) received.
in this case he wants in R12 uploading as PO no:10 should entered as open PO with all 4lines & 3 lines complete receipt should be done, for 4th line partial qty i.e 50 should be received.
the question is if we upload on hand qty first, then open POs & receipts, it will increase the onhand qty in new system(mismatch of on hand qty's 11i to R12)
Is it possible to do the onhand qty upload with over riding of all receipts which uploaded against Open PO lines.
Or Please advice best solution.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Friends,
We are doing upgration from sap4.7 to ECC6.0.
We have activated new gl. We have configured all ecc6.0 functionality.
But we stuck on data migration from classic gl to new gl.
We want to activate the migration cockpit but system is asking license key.
My question is, which license key it is?
From where we will get this?
Kindly don't send me any links and any documents related to ecc6 functionality.
Please guide us on this.

I would request you, if anybody let me knwo the process of legacy data migration into sap. What are steps I have to follow while doing legacy data migration. My questions are:
1) How to upload GL balances from legacy to SAP
2) How to upload Vendor and Customer open items into sap
3) Asset balances How to upload
4) what is the use of Migration clearing accounts.
Kindly provide if any documents for legacy data migration into sap.

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.

Data Migration techniques

Hi Experts,
I want to know about data migration techniques and how we can best use MDM while migrating old version of R/3 to new version of R/3....
I have implemented SAP MDM in cases where we have number of SAP R/3 instances across different region and we were taking data from different R/3 one by one and doing data stan'zation,consolidation, Harmonization and all... I am not talking about all this...
There was a good explanation from Markus Ganser about Duplicate data and identical data... I know all this..but my question is when I have only one SAP R/3 and I still want to implement MDM solution while migrating my old R/3 instance to new one, How can I proceed in this scenario? What is the data migration technique...
I know the common answer will be to use MDM as a middle ware..take Master data from old instance and after consolidation, send it back to new instance and at the same time send tran'data directly to new version... But is this worth doing this? Is there any other approach?
If there is any document on this or any one have idea about data migration techniques while implementing MDM solution than send me documents on [email protected].......
In short, I am looking for below 3 points while doing migration along with SAP MDM
Data Migration techniques
Prerequisites
Methodology in this kind of scenario
Step by step procedure

Data Migration from R3 to new ECC System

Hello,
We are doing a fresh implementation for SAP MDM. Currently we have 3 SAP R/3 systems and 1 non-R3 system (BPCS system). One of the project goals is to do data migration from all these 4 systems into a new SAP ECC system and to MDM for Vendor Master, Customer Master and Material Master. My manager says that we need Business Objects tool to Migrate these data. But, my question is that is it not possible to achive this through XI/PI itself ? Can anyone let me know the entire process in XI/PI as to how do I receive the Idocs from R/3, convert into XML and then send it to the new ECC system in Idoc format ?
Thks & Rgds,
Hema

Hi Gandhi,
You have SAP MDM, BPC and R/3 systems in your landscape, when you are migrating data to new ECC system, what is the role of mdm, did you moving the same data to MDM to avoid duplicate/redundant data??is there any data migration from R/3 to MDM(any integration required)or MDM to R/3,
You have to develop different interfaces to transfer data from MDM to ECC, BPC to ECC.definelty you required one middleware, the option definitely SAP PI. it offers very easy of integration between MDM and R/3 system, you can use MDM-PI adapter to connect to directly MDM syndicator file port from there you can pull the XML file and convert it in to IDoc format use Receiver IDoc adapter in PI, the same way we can integrate BPC system with R/3.
Search in sdn, there are some scenarios integration of R/3 and MDM using PI, refer those links, if still you have any doubts let me know,
Regards,
Raj

Data migration methods

Hi experts. I am working on a study for a data migration project where data from multiple legacy systems would be moved into SAP. Apart from LSMW and BDC, what are the other useful methods when the data migration involves huge volumes of upload data?

Hi,
Obviously the answer depends to a certain extent on the circumstances of your project (complexity of data, volume, etc) and on the object in question, but here are a few rules of thumb.
If you are new to this I would stay away from IDOCs and BAPIs as the set up is often a little complicated and if there are errors the problem is often not too easy to identify. And IDOC processing is not always as quick as people assume. For example, the customer master IDOC is processed in the background by a call transaction of XD01.
For you I would suggest definitely using LSMW, and where possible within LSMW use the standard uploads. There will be situations where the standard upload does not cover everything (again using customers as an example, it will not include the extended address data or the long texts) but I would still use the standard upload to load as much as you can, and then write a couple of simple update BDC recordings (XD02, XK02, etc) to add what's missing.
Some examples of the standard upload programs are:
Customers - RFBIDE00
Vendors - RFBIKE00
Materials - RMDATIND
All finance transactions - RFBIBL00
Fixed assets - RAALTD01
The standard uploads are normally well documented; they often use BDC (not RMDATIND) so are quite transparent; and they are generally pretty flexible.
There are a few standard uploads which are not so good, such as the sales order load, and to a lesser extent the purchase order load. In these cases you might need to look at using the BAPIs but get help from someone who has used them before.
You might want to use recordings for very simple loads like bank master.
If migrating SAP to SAP, where possible you would look to transfer master data via ALE using IDOCs. But again you need to know what you are doing and it sounds like you are moving from a non-SAP to a SAP system anyway.
Good luck,
Ben

Data Migration - Data Models Dependency

Hi,
In major ERP data migration and transformation project from legacy to SAP or from SAP to SAP, one should finalize the sequence in which data should be migrated. e.g. Vendor data cannot be migrated before customer data, or tax data should be uploaded first then customer data .. etc. Is there available any best practice or reference for such dependencies ? Primary models and secondary models which depend on primary models ?
Please share such content if you have, I'm sure it will be helpful to many.

The best way is to use iTunes. Back up your old iPad. Unplug it, plug your new one in and go through the set up process. When you get the question 'set up as new or restore from backup' choose to restore from the backup you just made. Your app data and information will be put onto your new iPad.
You may need to redownload apps, but since the app data is already there, you should not lose progress on games or the such.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2109
has directions. You can also use iCloud backup, but I personally prefer iTunes since it takes the internet out of the equation and things are done locally (beyond redownloading apps if needed)

New GL activated without data migration

Hi all,
we have some three projects lined up, one of it is new gl, due to some reasons we have postponed the go live of new gl but other two projects wants to go ahead with their go live, so we provided them an environment where new gl is active but doesnt have migrated data.
What would be the risks when regression testing is done in such an environment, i have listed out few as below, can something else be expected?
Cannot perform closing operations, as balances are not known and no previous data is available.
Clearing and reconciliation functions cannot be performed.
Cannot use the reporting function as there would be discrepancies in the output
cannot check the balances
Transactions referring to the previous data such as bill of exchange, down payments etc cannot be executed.
if some one has gone thru such situation before, please provide information.
thanks
kumar

Hi Kumar,
Find below the answer to your question
Cannot perform closing operations, as balances are not known and no previous data is available.
- You can perform the closing operation without any problem. Its just that you will not have previos data which will get added to your existing data.
Clearing and reconciliation functions cannot be performed.
- You can perform reconcialiation function to the extent you have done the posting, not for the previous data.
Cannot use the reporting function as there would be discrepancies in the output
- You can take out reports but it will not give you correct picture as the previous data is missing. please keep in mind the Balance sheet GLs have cumulative balance.
cannot check the balances
- You can to the extent which you have done posting
Transactions referring to the previous data such as bill of exchange, down payments etc cannot be executed..
- Yes, to do so you need to migrate the previous data.
Suggestion: Activating New GL without Data migration is an incomplet process, you should do the data migration at the earliest.
Hope the above statements answer your questions.
Regards
Paul

RDS for SAP data migration through IDOC's

Dear Experts
Just now we have installed BODS 4.1 and RDS also installed now. I am in the process of exploring the RDS. I found all the migration objects is available in the form of IDOC's. Now my questions are
How to work on custom IDOC's. Do i need to extensively code on R/3 side to upload the custom fields. Like user exit or BADI for custom fileds
If yes then i would say implementation time through RDS will remain more or less same time.
Through BODS or by RDS migration objects is there any way without coding on ABAP R/3 side, Can we achieve migrating custom fields
Please let me how to achieve above requirements by RDS
Thanks
Vijay Mukunthan

Hi Vijay,
You are right, the standard content of the Rapid Data Migration RDS packages brings the content with the standard IDoc interface for SAP standard only. So custom objects are not pre-built with the package. However, we incorporated the foundation to include custom coding as easy as possible:
1) IDoc
We are using the standard interface technology IDoc. IDocs do have an enhancement concept which is described in the online help. There are three main cases and all of them are supported, however two need additional coding:
Z-fields: Additional fields in existing tables lead to IDoc segment extensions
With the IDoc segment versioning concept this is easy to realize without any ABAP coding
Z-tables: Additional IDoc segments will be necessary and lead to a new IDoc version
With the IDoc versioning concept you can easily add Z-segments with leveraging provided user exits
Custom business objects:
You can even create a complete own IDoc message type in Z-namespace for own stuff, leveraging the given ALE layer of the IDoc middleware
2) Enhancement guide
With the RDS package we offer an enhancement guide which helps you to modify the jobs and data flows in the SAP Data Services content according to the changes in the target IDoc structure to reflect additional fields and tables. We built it as a step-by-step guide following for a sample IDoc type but will work similarly for any IDoc.
Best regards,
Frank Densborn.
