Edge 3.1 Data Services connection to SAP ECC 5.0 on AIX server

I've got a client who is trying to create a Data Services extract from an SAP ECC 5.0 system on an AIX server. The Data Services is installed on a Windows box and is the Edge 3.1 version. He is able to connect to the SAP datastore, is able to import the metadata for a table and browse the data, but the data transport in the R/3 Data Flow fails due to a permissions problem on the file generated in the working directory on the SAP server (as indicated by the Data Services error message).
We have confirmed that the file can be opened and modified by the same user that the Data Integration service is running under. I have also duplicated his environment and settings in a sandbox virtual machine, except that our SAP ECC 6.0 system is running on MS Windows Server 2003, and the transfer works fine in that environment.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Is there a permissions setting we're missing?

Simply means that in the case you have more than one instance you need to shutdown down the instance you are working on and all the other ones too.

SAP BI - Data Services connection

Hello
I am trying to set up SAP BI - Data Services connection.
Couple of questions :
1. Where from within the SAP can I get SAP gateway hostname and SAP gateway service name
2. I have a developer right on BW. Is it enough to make connection with my user id?
3. connection to BW is via client security portal. Does it change the approach?
Thanks

Hi,
1. Where from within the SAP can I get SAP gateway hostname and SAP gateway service name
From the sapgui.
2. I have a developer right on BW. Is it enough to make connection with my user id?
Yes
3. connection to BW is via client security portal. Does it change the approach?
What does that means? you need a user and password in BW (ABAP).
As suggested by Andrei, read the wiki. It has all you need to make it work.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Diego

Connectivity between SAP ECC system and SAP BI

Connectivity between SAP ECC system and SAP BI
Hi BI-experts!
I would like to load e.g. transaction data from SAP ECC system into SAP BI system.
The Loading process is hanging in processing step u201CSERVICE APIu201D.
The process in hanging in status "yellow" and then changed after a while to status u201Credu201D.
[0FI_AR_4 |http://www.file-upload.net/view-1447743/0FI_AR_4.jpg.html ]
The following steps within Load process are yellow and then red:

Question:
Can some one tell me whether my distribution model or other settings are wrong?
I created 2 distribution model (BD64), one from SAP BW system and other from SAP BI system with message types RSRQST, RSINFO, RSSEND
Thank you very much!

Hi Holger.
this issue is related to the RFC but not the one which is communicating from BI to R/3 rather the one which is communicating from R/3 to BI follow these steps.
1. check your BI system logical name from the myself source system.
2. go the ECC and run the transaction sm59
3. go the ABAP Connection folder and search for your RFC which name would be by default as per your BI logical system name.
4. double click it and edit it now check whether the Target hostname or ip is OK.
5. In the logon tab check the client number User and password settings.
Save it and test it with both Connection Test and Remote Logon.
if every thing work fine i hope your problem will be solved.
kind regards,
Zeeshan

Extracting delta's with ODP-data source 0MATERIAL_ATTR from SAP ECC

We are using ODP-replication to extract data from SAP ECC to a MS SQL-database by SAP BusinessObjects Data Services.
For extracting Material-data we use the standard data source 0MATERIAL_ATTR in SAP ECC.
This data source delivers a full load with all Materials in it.
In the properties of this data source (tab attributes) we saw that this data source is Delta_Extractor_Capable.
Therefore we set the extraction mode from 'Query' to CDC (= Change Data Capable) and did a new initial load to get all Materials again.
After changing a Material in ECC, we did a delta-load, but unfortunately we received ZERO records.
Is there anyone with experience on extracting delta's with data source 0MATERIAL_ATTR or another standard masterdata data source in ECC?
Thank you for your reaction in advance,
Best regards,
Jan-Hendrik

Hi,
You can check the delta records in RSA3 see teh article. in https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Surendra+Reddy
Checking the Data using Extractor Checker (RSA3) in ECC Delta Repeat Delta etc...
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/80f4c455-1dc2-2c10-f187-d264838f21b5&overridelayout=true

Delete the Queue in LBWQ/RSA7 and then freshly load Init and Check the Delta.
Once you load the Init then if there are no new records then it won't get any data. so 0 records
Check in SM37 in ECC why the job is terminated. See in ST22 also.

Data Services communication with SAP - physical/logical server name

Iu2019m having trouble connecting Data Services to SAP.
Environment details:
Data Services version 12.2.1.2 on Windows 2008 SP2
ERP and SRM on Windows 2008 (database SQL Server 2008 SP1)
Repository on SQL Server 2008 SP1
All servers (SAP and Data Servers) have had logical systems defined over the physical system names and they use these logical names to communicate with each other. The Data Services server, hence has two names (logical and physical) and two corresponding IP addresses.
The problem weu2019re having is that when the SAP server communicates back to the Job Server it needs to use the logical server name and corresponding IP address. Currently it is using the physical server name and IP address, causing communication failures.
When I run the host_name() function within Data Services it returns the physical host name.
Is there a way to determine how Data Services identifies itself and whether this can be manipulated? Is it possible to configure Data Services to run in a logical environment?
Any thoughts or commends would be appreciated. Thanks

Looked at this from another angle. We were using Direct Download transport method which processes in the foreground and uses the SAPGUI for communication. It seems as though it was how SAPGUI communicates with the SAP server on Data Services behalf that was causing the problem.
We managed to motivate to get a share setup between the SAP server and the Data Services box which allows us to use Shared Directory transport method. This also allows for background processing - eliminating the part of the SAPGUI communication that was causing the problem.

Business Object Data Services (BODI) without SAP MDM?

Hi,
From an architectural point of view; do you always have to use SAP MDM when you want to use the Business Object Data Services (e.g. for data validity checks when creating customers)?
Or can you use Business Object Data Services in combination with SAP ECC without MDM?
Best regards,
Marius

All Depends on your business needs.
1) As in if you want to use most effective cleansing (BODS contains inbult infor for Adderess cleansing) along with some data governance(Validation, assignments,MDM Workflow) I would say fo with BO-MDM Integration.
2) Here I am not sure via BODS - ECC you can handle ongoing maintainance , it is supreb for first time data load.
so it is better if you use ECC-BO-MDM ---> BI/ECC for smooth transition through out landscape.
3) Here also try to check the data structure compactiblity between BODS and ECC as per their version, it can also create a big impact.
Hope these points can clear many doubts

AllFusion Erwin Data Modeler Connection to SAP NW2004s Systems

We would like to use a data modeling product that we purchased for many of our SAP NW systems. We understand that there may be some restrictions on DB direct user connections and would like to confirm the following from those that may have exposure in this area:
1. If we connection the DM product to SAP, are there any restrictions on the data that is read from the SAP DB?
2. Are we violating any SAP license agreement by using the third party tool for data modeling on our SAP NW systems (since it will require a DB connection)?
3. Any other helpful information?
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
Thanks and best regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
How does your DM product plan on "connecting" to the SAP applications? Most of the time, SAP applications provide Remote Function Calls (RFC) (i.e. in the programming world, methods) for programmers to call in order to push or pull data to itself. There are no restrictions here aside from the normal authorizations given to access data on the application. Although SAP discourages any direct manipulations directly to the database layer.

Data services connectivity with Oracle 8i database

Query 1:
We are using Data services XI R3 for pulling data from Oracle 8i data soure to Oracle 10g target.
Our repository is also a 10g database.
We created a datastore for 8i source and tried to import the table.
Below is the error that we get when try to import the table:
Error: Cannot import metadata.
Oracle <....> error message for operation <OCIStmtExecute> : <ORA-00904: Invalid column name>..(BODI-1112338)
While creating datastore, we entered database type as Oracle.
We were able to import the table with same 8i source , target and repository of 10g version by using Data Integrator XI R2 tool but when we try the same thing with Data services, we are getting this error.
Any other alternative other than using System DSN?
Query 2:
Also,is there any performance impact if we use ODBC System DSN name as the data source instead of Oracle while creating data store in Data services XI R3?
We have used DSN since we were not able to import table from Oracle 7 and 8i databases(source) into repository (Oracle 10g) if we give Oracle as the data source. Target database is also Oracle 10g database.
Edited by: Amardeep Pandey on Jun 26, 2009 8:51 AM

the following issue is fixed in XI 3.2, you will be able to import the tables, but Oracle 8i and 7 are not supported oracle datastore versions, you will have to select oracle 9i in the datastore
Oracle <....> error message for operation <OCIStmtExecute> : <ORA-00904: Invalid column name>..(BODI-1112338)
no there is no other alternate than using ODBC

Getting No rights error in Crystal Reports connection with SAP ECC 6

I am ABAP/BI developer and would like to work in Crystal Reports 2011. Currently, We have SAP ECC 6 and BI 7 set up. I have installed trial version of Crystal Reports 2011.
I am getting error while trying to create blank report in Crystal Reports:
Create New Connection -> SAP Tables.. -> entered SAP Development server user id and password -> following error message :
LOGON failed
Details : You do not have necessary rights to design reports against the SAP system. Please check with your system administrator.
My user id has all rights in development server. So, is any special rights require? OR do we have to install any patch for Crystal Reports at SAP level?
Please guide me.

Hi,
To be able to report off an SAP data source in Crystal Reports, request the SAP Administrator to set the appropriate authorizations for the user.
For a list of authorizations that are necessary for each type of SAP connection, consult the document:
BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Installation Guide
In the "Authorizations" chapter, there is a description of each authorizations needed for each type of connection and actions.
( The document is attached to this SAP Knowledge Base Article in the attachment section )
In addition to the authorizations specified in the SAP Integration Kit Installation Guide, the following authorizations are required:
For Authorization object: S_RFC with Field name: RFC_Name. According to the installation guide the values should be: SYST, /CRYSTAL/OPENSQL
Additionally you will need the value: SUSR as well.
For Authorization object: ZSEGREPORT with field name: ACTVT. According to the installation guide the value is: 02 (Change)
Additionally you will need the value: 01 (Create or generate) as well.
Thank you.

Master Data Services not available under shared feature while installing SQL server 2012

Hi,
I am trying to install Master Data Services but do not see the option to select MDS under the shared features when going through the SQL server 2012 installation. I have the SQL server 2012 SP1 (64 bit) install files. I have also installed SP2. I havent
found anything online about the issue.
Can someone please advise?
I have a screenshot of the installation screen which I will attach as soon as I am able to get my account verified. Thanks!

Hi Revees,
This might be a very naïve and also out of the original scope of the thread question.
We are thinking of going with the developer edition. We have 2/3 developers and some other testers and business users.
1) I understand that we need a developer license for each developer. But would we need a license for the business user. Can they have a sort of read access to the dbs?
2) If a developer has MSDN subscription, Would they need to purchase the license too assuming we purchase the developer edition of the software (and not download it using the MSDN subscription)?
Thanks for your assistance!

Required infrastructure to enable web service calls in SAP ECC 6.0 system

Hi Friends,
I'm working on XI, more on part of webservices and as I dont have a good knowledge on BASIS part, I would like to know the steps required to enable the webservice calls in SAP ECC 6.0.
Blogs/documents could be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

You will have to create a receiver communication channel of type RFC adapter to connect to your ECC from XI .
u will have to enter the details of your ECC box like
application Server
system number
in the communication channel.
You will also have to create a user in the ECC which you will use in the RFC communication channel to connect.
YOu will also have to create Business System in your SLD corressponding to the ECC .

Connect one SAP ECC 6.0 source system to 2 SAP BW system

Hi!
I copied SAP BW system (e.g. BW1 --> BW2).
My source SAP BW system "BW1" was connected to SAP source system "MM5" (tcode RSA1).
Now I would like to connect my new SAP BW system "BW2" also to this SAP source system "MM5".
When I do so I get the following error:
Connection cannot be used.
Connection BA is used in the MM5:400
source system as a connection BW1CLNT001 to BW
Do you want to delete this connection in the source system?
Question:
Can one SAP ECC system be connected to 2 SAP BW system?
If yes, what are the steps to do this?
Thank you!

Thank you very much!
The question still is how to proceed with the following dialog screen/warning?
Connection cannot be used.
Connection BA is used in the MM5:400
source system as a connection BW1CLNT001 to BW
Do you want to delete this connection in the source system?
YES or NO
Thank you!

Do I *really* need a Service Connection Point in AD to complete a Project Server 2010 SP2 installation?

Hi all,
I have installed Project Server 2010 SP2 and run psconfig.exe
PSCONFIG is failing because it cannot set up a Service Connection Point in AD. I've checked in AD and the contains 'Microsoft SharePoint Products' does not exist. All the resolutions I can find suggest adding the container into AD.
The issue I have is that I have no control of the AD, and adding containers will take lengthily negotiation.
Is there any way of completing the installation and getting my site back without adding the container into AD?
Thanks in advance.

1) check timer service see if it is running

3) My workaround:I
run once again the command „PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures“  in
the “Bin” Folder as an administrator console session.In the moment I saw the staus “Configurationtask 5 of 6 is executed”

4) Try running the psconfig.exe command a second time
5) had the same issue and called Microsoft support. Here is the fix:
Stop the "SharePoint 2010 Timer" service
Delete ONLY the xml files from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\216f8013-b78b-4e5b-8631-3a5f4c7277e8
Note: Do NOT delete the cache.ini file in this folder
Edit cache.ini and change to "1"
Start "SharePoint
2010 Timer" service
Run psconfig again: PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force
6) Initially I tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009272 but
it did not help (I re-implemented later).
I re-registered the DLL’s as perhttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/da/winservergen/thread/b4bd0deb-45d0-4661-8c50-a2b45db41103 from

in case.
I tried to run The PSConfig but it was failing:  I
had to do the following in order to make it finish successfully:

On the migrated SBS2011 PSCDiagnostic Log I found no entry to detect or start the services SPWriterServiceInstance and SPTimerServiceInstance.
I run once again the command „PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent
-install -cmd installfeatures“ in the “Bin” Folder as an administrator console session.
In
the moment I saw the status “Configuration task 5 of 6 is executed” I
start to run the command “net start SPTraceV4 & net start SPWriterV4 & net start SPAdminV4 & net start SPSearch4 & net start SPTimerV4” in a

just opened another cmd window and copy/paste the sequence below when I saw the status “Configuration Task x of y” on the screen:
net start SPTraceV4
net start SPWriterV4
net start SPAdminV4
net start SPSearch4
net start SPTimerV4
-Note SPSearch4 is disabled in our system…
Very awkward but it worked…
I implemented http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009272 again.

Archiving of preferential data for customs on SAP ECC system

Hey guys
--> Maybe one day customs authorities will examine my company (ZOLLPRÜFUNG). If they ask for information e. g. how we determined that product 4711 was preferentially qualified, we will show them the system log for any result.
I am searching for a possibility to archive results of preference determinations. How can I do that and where is the information stored? Where can I change the needed settings? This is not done on GTS but on our ECC systems.
Up to now, I only found transactions VX99, ENPR and SARA.
Is that the right direction? Advice highly appreciated!
Best regards
thomas

Hello Thomas,
did you get information about archiving preference data from anywhere? If so, would you be so kind to share it with me/us?
