DMS Data Migration-Help required

Hi,
I don't have enough knowledge on DMS Data migration.
In our recent Implementation, we are implementing SAP DMS.
Our client has more legacy data which is in their server. So we have to upload all the data's into SAP DMS.
I gone through few SCN threads and understand that LSMW & BDC will be used for Data migration.
Which is the best method for Data migration?
We are having 50+ document types and it has different processes (status network), Classification & few Object links.
Please advice me and provide me some examples to upload legacy data in DMS.
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
There are few approach discussed in the thread https://scn.sap.com/thread/2119796
You may check feasibility on these approaches for your scenario.
We are having 50+ document types and it has different processes (status network), Classification & few Object links.
Creating these configurations into SAP is one time and should not be a problem.
I gone through few SCN threads and understand that LSMW & BDC will be used for Data migration.
Which is the best method for Data migration?
How much volume of data do you have in legacy system ?
Have a thought on whether do you really need to migrate all these data into SAP DMS ???
OR
You can configure the DMS system and start fresh leaving the document in legacy system as it is.
Hope this helps.

Data Migration help in SAP

Hi All
Can anyone suggest good datamigration tool,Actually we are migrating our data from Microsoft sql to ORACLE(SAP 4.7) and I have never done this kind of data migration.
I would appreciate small help also.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sukrut s

you need to get an OS/DB-Migration service to get support after migration. The migration itself on the production system must be done by a certified migration consultant.

Business Partner Data Archiving - Help Required

Hi,
Am New to Data Archiving and need help to Archive Business Partner in CRM. I tried to Archive some BP's but it was not archiving. Kindly throw some light on it.
Problem we face are:
1) When we try to write a Business Partner to an Archive File the Job Log Shows finished but no files are created in the System.
2) When we try to delete the BP from Data Base it doesn't show the Archived BP's that could be deleted (I guess this is because there are no archived file).
Archive Object Used is CA_BUPA. We have created a Variant and set the Time as Immediate and Spool to LOCL.
Kindly let us know if there is any step we are missing here and if we are on the wrong track.
All answers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Prashanth

Hi,
To archive a BP following steps are to be followed.
A. Mark the BP to be archived in transaction BP >status tab
B. Run dacheck
FYI : Steps on how to perform dacheck :
1. In transaction DACONTROL change the following parameter to the
values : for CA_BUPA .
No. calls/packages   1
Number of Objects   50
Package SizeRFC     20
Number of Days       1 (if you use mobile client it should be more)
2.If a business partner should be archived directly after the
archiving note was set, this can be done by reseting the check
   date with report CRM_BUPA_ARCHIVING_FLAGS.
   here only check (set) the options :
   - Archiving Flag
   - Reset Check Date
Reset all options should be unchecked.
3. go to dacheck and run the process
4. This will change the status of the BPs to 'Archivable'
   *Only those bp's which are not involved in any business transactions,
    install base, Product Partner Range (PPR) will be set to archivable
The BP's with status 'Archivable' will be used by the archiving
     run.
Kindly refer note 646425 before goint to step C ***
C.Then run transaction CRM_BUPA_ARC.
- Make sure that the "selection program" in transaction "DACONTROL"
   is maintained as " CRM_BUPA_DA_SELECTIONS"
Also create a variant, which can done by excecuting
CRM_BUPA_DA_SELECTION and enter the variants name for the field
Variant. This variant is the buisness partner range.
- Also please check note 554460.

PDA and data synchronization -help required

Hi,
I have experince in developing web applications in jsp/servlets and php. I wish to develop a PDA supported java server
application. I have downloaded netbeans for using as an IDE. It does have support for mobile emulators, but does not support
PDA/Palm OS emulators.
What about IBM websphere and eclipse for using as IDE? Will they support J2ME SDK? Please help me in devoloping my PDA
application.
why we use data synchronisation for laptop and PDA for web applications? Why is it not applied in normal PC?
Thanking in advance,
From,
Vinod

Vinod, you might want to look at the palm.com web site. There is quite alot of information available for developers.
By reading your original query, I assume you are talking about thread safety and not synchronization, per se. Thread safety is very important in a web app as you surely know. If you don't and have been developing Servlets/JSPs then, hoo boy!

HELP ME ON DATA MIGRATION PLEASE

Hi
what is SAP data migration what kind of tools and techniques include in that and also please what are the roles and responsibilities include in that when we are working on project.(RELATED TO ABAP)

Data Migration Current Situation
Data migration or data conversion is a persistent issue facing most organizations who have implemented SAP. Whether it is during the final phases of a new SAP implementation, during SAP upgrades and updates, during corporate restructurings, or during mergers and acquisitions, data migration continues to remain a challenging problem for IT.
Most data migration projects are faced with a time and budget crunch. But, these projects usually require extensive support from programmers and other technical experts and therefore data migration projects tend to get expensive and time-consuming.
The tools for data transfer and data migration provided by SAP are very technical and have a steep learning curve associated with them and they require technical experts to build and implement the data migration scripts.
Data Migration Ideal Scenario
An ideal data migration scenario would let the data migration project be implemented by the end user departments themselves. A few super-users within these end-user departments that supply the data should have the ability to transfer and migrate data themselves without relying on technical experts. Such a scenario would significantly cut the time and effort required in a data migration project.
Reaching such an ideal scenario would require data migration tools that are easy to learn and require no programming. Furthermore, these tools should work across all the different SAP modules and the SAP products, including the different versions of SAP.
Data Migration
Data Migration is the process of moving required (and most often very large) volumes of data from our clients existing systems to new systems. Existing systems can be anything from custom-built IT infrastructures to spreadsheets and standalone databases.
Data Migration encompasses all the necessary steps to cleanse, correct and move the data into the new system *. Technological changes, change in providers, software updates or data warehousing / data mining projects make such delicate and critical operations necessary.
<b>Data Migration can be done using BDC, LSMW, BAPI, Idoc's.</b>
What is the difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC?
Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
Differences between bdc session method and call transaction method.
The most important aspects of the batch session interface are: - Asynchronous processing - Transfers data for multiple transactions - Synchronous database update During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database. - A batch input processing log is generated for each session - Sessions cannot be generated in parallel
The most important aspects of the CALL TRANSACTION USING interface are: - Synchronous processing - Transfers data for a single transaction - Synchronous and asynchronous database updating both possible The program specifies which kind of updating is desired. - Separate LUW for the transaction The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement. - No batch input processing log is generated.

CAT2 - Help required for changing data

The requirement I have is, if the data is entered for a particular activity type in CAT2, and if it exceeds the default hours alloted for that week, the extra hours need to be split into different activity types.
Say, this is the data entered: (Max of 35 Hrs per week as per IT0007) (Click on the link below to see sample data!)
[http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/5/12/21/f_datam_9dfadb2.jpg]
(The value for Thu is 5 and not 6 in the initial entry.)
The data has to remain exact until it reaches 35 hours and then the extra hours need to be split and entered in a different activity type. (BU is also counted as regular working hours and value for BU is to remain same)
I tried using the user-exit CATS0002 but since the user exit gets only the value of a single cell at a time, I am not able to process the data for my requirement. and this user exit is triggered only for the cells where the value is changed... if the data is already entered and the user changes some cell, I don't get the whole data entered and hence, I can't modify the already existing data on the timesheet.
Has anyone coded for a similar scenario? Your help will be really appreciated.
P.S: I am working on ECC 6.0

Hi Nazim,
There is an user-exit for validating the whole time sheet (I think it is nr. 6, but I am not sure), in this one you could check all the hours, but I am not sure if it will suffice for your requirement.

Martin

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 From Peoplesoft , JDEdwards To SAP.

Hi,
This is kiran here we are doing data Migration work from Peoplesoft And JDEdwards to SAP.in SAP side it involves Master data tables Related to Customer, Vendor, Material. and Meta data tables related to SD, MM, FI. We as SAP Consultant identified Fields from above tables and marked them as Required, Not required, And Mandatory. The Peoplesoft and JDEdwards flocks come up with the same from their side. Then we want map the Fields. as I am new to data Migration any body suggest me what are the steps involves in data Migration How to do Data Mapping in Migration Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Kiran.B

Hi Kiran,
Good... Check out the following documentation and links
Migrating from one ERP solution to another is a very complex undertaking. I don't think I would start with comparing data structures. It would be better to understand the business flows you have currently with any unique customizations and determine how these could be implemented in your target ERP. Once this is in place, you can determine the necessary data unload/reload to seed your target system.
A real configuration of an ERP system will only happen when there is real data in the system. The mapping of legacy system data to a new ERP is a long difficult process, and choices must be made as to what data gets moved and what gets left behind. The only way to verify what you need to actually run in the new ERP environment is to migrate the data over to the ERP development and test environments and test it. The only way to get a smooth transition to a new ERP is to develop processes as automatic as possible to migrate the data from the old system to the new.
Data loading is not a project that can be done after everything else is ready. Just defining the data in the legacy system is a huge horrible task. Actually mapping it to one of the ERP system schemas is a lesson in pain that must be experienced to be believed.
The scope of a data migration project is usually a fairly large development process with a lot of proprietary code written to extract legacy data, transform and load the data into the ERP system. This process is usually called ETL (extract, transform, load.)
How is data put into the ERP?
There is usually a painfully slow data import facility with most ERP systems. Mashing data into the usually undocumented table schema is also an option, but must be carefully researched. Getting the data out of the legacy systems is usually left to the company buying the ERP. These export - import processes can be complex and slow, sometimes specialized ETL tools can help, sometimes it is easier to use what ever your programmers are familiar with, tools such as C, shell or perl.
An interesting thing to note is that many bugs and quirks of the old systems will be found when the data is mapped and examined. I am always amazed at what data I find in a legacy system, usually the data has no relational integrity , note that it does not have much more integrity once it is placed in an ERP system so accurate and clean data going in helps to create a system that can work.
The Business Analysts (BAs) that are good understand the importance of data migration and have an organized plan to migrate the data, allocate resources, give detailed data maps to the migrators (or help create the maps) and give space estimates to the DBAs. Bad BAs can totally fubar the ERP implementation. If the BAs and management cannot fathom that old data must be mapped to the new system, RUN AWAY. The project will fail.

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.
