Dear Linturi,
believe you trying to delete the current R/3 source system and trying for SAP BI my self source system right?
If yes
We can very well dete the source system
The impact would be in th efollowing ways
You will loose entire datasources,transfer rules and PSA related to that particular source system and it will be Major impcat on you Bi system which is not at all preferable untill unless you are really no more use of the R/3 source system and its configured with any of the bi pass clients.
Coming to BI Myself souce system : Which is purely realted to the DATA MART Loadings and its also a similar like R/3 source system connection you have to give ALEREMOTE passwords and serve ips.
Hope this helps u...

Refresh of BW System without deleting the source system

Hello experts
I want to know, is it possible to refresh BW system without deleting the source system.
That means I just do the renaming via BDLS and reconnect.
If I do so, do I have a post refresh activities.
According to OSS note 886102 and 184447, there are 3 scenarios:
Scenario A: You want to copy the entire system infrastructure connected by the BW source system connections (that means the entire system group).
Scenario B: You want to copy a single BW system of the group, the sourcesystem is not copied.
Scenario C: You want to replace a single sourcesystem of a BW-system with another system using a database or client copy (Example: Refresh of the OLTP consolidation system by a copy of the OLTP production system). The BW system is not copied
Assuming I use Scenario A, can I refresh BW system without deleting the source system.

Hi:
The primary source of information is the how to paper on this topic:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bff13df2-0c01-0010-6ba7-bc50346a6fd8
YOu are correct, you can refreh the BI system without deleting the source system.
Thanks for any points you assign (after all, I wrote the paper!).

Deleting a Source System in BW Prod

Hi Guys,
I am trying to delete the assignment of R/3 Production as a Source system in BW Prod but the system is not letting me- informing that:
Package ZBWD does not exist- choos display object or cancel.
The reason I am doing this is at present the source system is assigned to Infoobject 0WBS_ELEMT but I want to assign the 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR & 0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT datasources to the 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR & 0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT InfoSources. I would like to un-assign this datasource from 0WBS_ELEMT and assign to the InfoSources stated above.
I am trying to bring in WBS Element master data but found in Dev when I bring it in through the infoSources it is available in BW but through the 0WBS_ELEMT infoObject there is no data in the masterdata tables.
How can I delete this source system assignment in BW Prod?
Thanks
Depesh

hi Depesh,
i think system won't let you delete source system assignment in prod if it's closed for modification
(transaction scc4), if you really need to do this directly in prod, please ask basis open awhile,
have you tried delete the source system assignment in dev and transport to prod ?
regarding package zbwd not exist, check in prod if package zbwd exist,
transaction se80, choose 'package', type in zbwd,
it will display the package or ask to create new if not exist. transport package zbwd from bw dev if it's not exist in prod.
hope this helps.

Deletion of Source system

Hello,
I need help in deleting any links that exist for an old R3 system. We have migrated our source R3 system which was called SP1 to another system called SP2. Now we have datasources, DTP and update rules pertaining to the old system that we would like to delete. I tested out an option to delete the source system in the workbench by clicking under the Source system , choosing the one I wished to delete and right clicking on that and choosing Delete. I got a warning saying that its not possible to delete because the RFC connections are no longer available, which is true. I chose Ignore in the message window that popped up and that led to all the datasources, DTP and infopackages getting deleted. This seems too good to be true that we got rid of all links to the old system . What I am wondering is whether this method causes some other important data to vanish as well. Is there also a better way to delete all links to the old system.
Regards,
Jaya

Hi Jaya
As you said there is no connectivity with the source system, then you are no more using the Datasources from that source system.
Ensure that you are not using the datasources in your regulary used Infosources.
If you are using then they me be set to inactive.
As you said youa re not at all using that source system you can delete that.

Change in the source system

Dear All,
We have currently BW 3.5 and CRM R/3 server up and running in Production.
Now CRM server is being upgrade to CRM 7.0 . Now i being the BW consultant needs to find out what is that needs to be done at BW side.
My idea :-
1) We first need to create a new Source system and repllicate all the data sources in bw system.
2) Assign this datasource to the old infosource.
3) create an infopkg and try loading the data once again to the old cube.
We can ahieve this in Dev system and then transport the Transfer rules again to BW Production system.
Can we directly get this done in Production system????
Kindly add your idea to this list and suggest if we can do this directly in the Productions system without the need to transport the Transfer rule from Deve system.
Thanks & Regards,
Anup

first, temporarily disconnect the source system connection when the upgrade is started...
after that as you said, please transport the transfer rules from DEV box to production box. it is not advisble to do directly in production box.
Since the end user is having access to the production box, it is not advisble to open the production box as modifiable and allow to changes.
Hence we cannot take long down time isnt..? After upgrade is done, please restore the source system connection.
Better you dont delete the source system of your CRM system in BI.
Hope this would help you.

Deleting a Source System Connection

Hi all,
We made some updates to a QA source system and when we try to do a 'activate and replicate datasources', errors are being thrown out. So, we decided to delete the connection and recreate the connection. I have a few questions:
1) If I right click on the source system in BI and click delete, it is prompting for a transport request to delete transfer structures. What are the steps to follow in deleting the source system? How will I be able to rebuild the transfer structures?
2) I deleted a couple of transfer structures. Can I roll it back? If yes, how
Greatly appreciate your help.
Anita.

instead try to trouble shoot the issue with the source system creation.
i don't beileve you can easily recover a deleted transfer str / rule without recovering from a backup or transporting it again from dev, once the sourcesystem issue is resolved
i believe this source system definition has been there for a while therefore just deleting it outright is not recommended for a lot of reasons,,,,,,,

Customized delta data source for deleting data record in the source system.

Hello Gurus,
there is a customized delta data source, how to implement delta function for deleting data record in the source system?
I mean if there is record deleted in the source sytem, how to notify SAP BW system for this deleting change by this customized delta
data source?
Many thanks.

Hi,
when ever record deleted we need to write the code to insert the record in Z table load this records into BW in a cube with similar structure.while loading into this cube multiply the Keyfigure by -1.
add this cube in the Multi Provider.The union of the records in the orginal cube and the cube having deleted records will result in zero vale and will not be displayed in report .

Changing the source system in QA

Hello All,
I just wanted a quick opinion from your experience on the following issue:
We have a ECC Dev client 20 connected to BI Dev client 20
Similarly we have ECC QA 120 connected to BI QA 120
But due to some reason we now want to connect a new ECC QA client 150 to BI QA 120 and take out ECC QA 120 totally(120 is wiped off).
I already have a lot of development transported to BI QA where the source system is ECC 120. Now if 120 dies and we pull the data from 150, what are the pitfalls to watch for?
Like all my Master data objects , DSO and Cubes still point to ECC QA client 120 but now the "actual" source system is going to be ECC QA 150.
Points,
Gaurav

You need to replicate all the data sources in BI from QA 150 and change the source system assignment to 150 instead of 120.
Also, you need to reinitilase delta for delta enabled extractors.
Two things to watch out:
1. If you dont have source system identifier, then if you happen to get records with same key, then it will overwrite. This applies to both master and transaction data.
2. For transaction data that is not delta enables, there may be a possibiltiy with which the records will get duplicated. So, better to delete the old requests before reload the data from QA150.

Error message from the source system

Hi,
I'm trying to load 0SD_O03 & 0SD_C03 using fullupload.
I have data in source system which I checked in RSA3.
I deleted the init request from the Infopackage.
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the source system.
System response
Caller 09 contains an error message.
Further analysis:
The error occurred in Service API .
Refer to the error message.
Procedure
How you remove the error depends on the error message.
Note
If the source system is a Client Workstation, then it is possible that the file that you wanted to load was being edited at the time of the data request. Make sure that the file is in the specified directory, that it is not being processed at the moment, and restart the request.
Please help!
Thanks,

Error occurred in the source system

Hi,
I am receiving the below error while loading data from APO system
Error message from the source system
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the source system.
System response
Caller 09 contains an error message.
Further analysis:
The error occurred in Extractor .
Refer to the error message.
Procedure
How you remove the error depends on the error message.
Note
If the source system is a Client Workstation, then it is possible that the file that you wanted to load was being edited at the time of the data request. Make sure that the file is in the specified directory, that it is not being processed at the moment, and restart the request.
******On further investigating the error message I get the following Diagnosis and Resolution details.*****
Diagnosis
    The sequence for creating time series in LiveCache is:
    1. Characteristic value combinations are created which in turn create
        planning object in the system
    2. The combination of version, planning area, and planning object is
        initialized, creating time series in LiveCache. This combination is
        so to speak the LiveCache anchor.
    This error occurs if
    o   New characteristic value combinatons have been created for the
        master palnning object structure that is assigned to the planning
        area, but the time series objects were not created.
System response
     Processing cannot continue.
Procedure
     There are two methods of creating time series objects for individual
     characteristic value combinations:
         a) Re-initialize the version without deleting the time series
             objects beforehand.
         b) Execute the report program /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_PLOB_DELTA_SYNC.
     In general SAP recommend that when you generate new characteristic value
     combinations, you set the Create time series objects indicator. This
     prevents this error from occurring.
Please let me know what I need to do to rectify this error. Please send me the steps to overcome this error.
Regards,
Tyson

Hi tyson,
Has it run good before? if yes, try to restore the source system.
by right click on the source system then choose restore.
It will require you to fill in some information about RFC destination. contact with your basis to have the information about: Target host, Sys no, and Sys ID of your APO system.
hope it help. Give point if you see its helpful.

An error occured in the source system

My process chain has been doing FULL load for COPA data in a ODS. It failed today saying
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the source system.
System response
Caller 09 contains an error message.
Further analysis:
The error occurred in Extractor .
Refer to the error message.
When I click on indiv. Message tab I get "Job in source system terminated - Requests is set to red"
What should I do to resolve the problem.

For Source system R3 :
This particular problem "Job terminated in the source System" occurs when there are long running jobs in the backend.
In the monitor tab,
Environment --> Job Overview --> In the source system.
After logging into the source system, click execute
Check the status of the job i.e. active or failed.
Check the job log for the same.
If its " DBIF_SQL_..... " sort of error, then in this case, delete the request from the data target and reload again.
The load would be successful
Caller 09 error normally occurs when the source from which the datasource is picking up data may be in use on the R3 side.
Hope this helps!!!!!!!
