Extract data from AMPLA to SAP BW

Hi All,
My requirement is to extract data from a Non SAP system called AMPLA (SQL Server 2012) to SAP BI system (7.0). I need to consider possible ways for SAP BI to extract data from Non SAP Systems like DB Connect, UD Connect, Web services etc. Does anyone have experience extracting AMPLA data to SAP BI system successfully and what method is ideal to be used? Also in what form is data usually available in AMPLA source system(tables/views etc)?

Hi Udit
Before that could you refer this SAP Notes for database connection

BO DI for extracting data from legacy to SAP BW 7.0

Hi,
Has anyone worked on scenario where BO Data Integrator is being used as ETL tool for extracting data from legacy systems to SAP BW 7.0 ?
Please share your experience on such a landscpae or related documents any of you had come across.

Hi,
BO Integrator connects with other system (Database) and you will be creating your reports on the top of that DB or system. It never saw it being used to pull data from legacy to BW.

Hi,
When you create an abap object based on standard interface IF_INBOUND_EXIT_BCS you will got 2 method .
First here is the attributes i define in my object , all are Private instance attributes.
XML_DOCUMENT type ref to IF_IXML_DOCUMENT.
CONVERTER type ref to CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE,
ATTACHEMENT_ATTRIBUTES type BCSS_DBPA,
ATTACHEMENT_FILE type BCSS_DBPC ,
BINARY_FILE Type XSTRING,
FORMXML      Type STRING,
PDF_FORM_DATA Type XSTRING ,

Set this code in method CREATE_INSTANCE
* Check if the singleton instance has already
* been created.
IF instance is INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT instance.
ENDIF.
* Return the iTE nstance.
ro_ref = instance.
The other method is where the mail will be process
here is a sample code for method PROCESS_INBOUND
* Data definition :
DATA : pdf_line    TYPE solix .
DATA : nb_att(10) TYPE n.
DATA w_part TYPE int4 .
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <pdf_line> TYPE solix.
** Set return code so no other Inbound Exit will be done.
e_retcode = if_inbound_exit_bcs=>gc_terminate.
TRY .
* Get the email document that was sent.
      mail = io_sreq->get_document( ).

        ENDIF.
* Get the attachement
        attachement_file = mail->get_body_part_content( w_part ).

          CONCATENATE binary_file <pdf_line>-line
             INTO binary_file IN BYTE MODE.
        ENDLOOP.
        TRANSLATE attachement_attributes-doc_type TO UPPER CASE.
* Process the file depending on file extension
* Only XML and PDF file is allow
        CASE attachement_attributes-doc_type .
          WHEN 'PDF'.

            me->process_pdf_file( ).

Extracting data from a SQL Server to BW

Hi Experts,
    Can somebody let me know how to extract data from a NON SAP
    SQL Server I mean
    1. Creating a Source System
    2. Connecting to the SQL server
    3. Creating datasources and extraction
    Kindly help me its urgent
    thank you
    arshad.

Hi Ingo,
What I suggest is instead of extracting it to a file, can you use the function module which replicates this data to the mobile clients and use this function module to call the select statement. If a mobile client is able to access this info, then it must be doing a RFC call to some system whose logical system would have been in SAP as well. This is an assumption.
May be if you could call the same function to derive the required data instead of extracting it to a file and then uploading it.

Srikanth

Extract data from flat file

Hi,
I'm trying to extract data from a non-SAP datasource (flat file) to BW, I need to first convert the source file (txt) into the appropriate format to load to BW (CSV or ASCII). Currently, the txt file is not in a either format but more in a report kind of format. Is there any functionality in BW that I could utilize to convert the source file esaily in the format that BW can understand? Can I do this using transfer rules?
Thanks.

Thanks. But on the text file, there's some other information that I don't need such as the header information and the data currently is in group level. Can I utilize BW without changing the format on the original source file?
Thanks.

Extracting data from Z-table from SAP R/3 to BW

Hi all
I want to extract data from a Z-table from SAP R/3 system to Bw system. Currently I am on BW 3.5. Since it is a Z table I dont have a standard extractor for it & I dont knw how to create it. Can anyone provide me with the step-by-step documentation of how to extract data from a non standard SAP table????

Hi
You need to create Generic Datasource on the Z-Table you want to get data from
Go to RSO2 transaction to create generic datasource .
You need to give technical name of datasource under datasource type you want and click on create. Then you can give descrption and Application component under which u want see the datasource,
enter the z table name under view/ table and save.
here you can click on check boxes to make fields hidden or selection fields.

How to extract data from SAP in FDM 11121

I came across some documents from version 11113, says there is a SAP adapter, however ,when I check 11121 there's no such adapter, does anyone know how to extract data from SAP in FDM 11121?

I download a package from Bristlecone, but I dont see any xml files in it, just a bunch of dll and I didn't find any instructions on how to set up/configure in FDM, it just explained how to register in SAP app server and client.
Hyperion 11113 has readme on sap adapter(Hyperion Readme Template), but I cannot find the same readme file in 11121, all I can find is ERP Integration Adapter document. any idears where I can find at least a readme document?

How to extract data from ODS to non-SAP system

Hi,
Can anybody tell me, step by step, how to extract data from ODS to a non-SAP system?
Is it possible to do it without programming effort? And is there volume limits for this kind of extraction?
The non-SAP system is an unix system.
Thanks in advance
Ella

Ella,
You can look at it from the concept of a BADI / Infospoke
Extract the data from the ODS to a Flat file / RDBMS using an infospoke. I am not sure as to how the infospoke loads data into the RDBMS ( did it very long ago ) but then you can push it into an RDBMS and I am sure it will be system neutral.
Hope this helps...

Extracting Data from SAP ERP using BODI/Data Services 4.0

HI,
I am trying to extract data from SAP ERP via SAP extractors using BODI/Data Services 4.0.
I do not have my own ERP system so I am renting remote access from one of the many available on the internet.
I am able to connect BODI to the ERP system and import the extractors metadata.
The problem I am experiencing is that when I run job to extract the data I get the following error:
Vendor-supplied function module <Z_AW_RFC_READ_EXTRACTOR> not found. Ensure that you can execute the function module in SAP via transaction /nSE37.
How do I create the function? Or is the function a SAP standard function?
SAP ERP system being used is: ECC6 EHP4
User has SAP FULL and DEVELOPER authorizations.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Problem in Excel after extracting data from SAP Report

Hello,
I have a problem with Excel file after extracting it from one of the SAP report.
When my client extracted data from SAP in to excel he is coming across minus symbol on both sides of the number.
for ex: -447492177-
When i extracted same SAP report in to excel i didnt face any such problem.
Please share your inputs on what could be the problem.

1. Make sure your client and you are using the same version of Microsoft Excel
2. Let your client try to OPEN the exported xls file from a existed workbook instead of double-clicking the file directly.

How to Extract Data from SAP and Load it into Essbase

Hi All,
Can you recommend some ways to extract data from SAP and load it into Essbase?. I have no knowledge about SAP, not sure how I can perform this task. Can I use ODI for this job?
Thanks

hi,
Not sure if this helps but give a try
you can create connection from EAS to SAP .. using a plug-in .. if you have access to oracle Support go for [ID 968961.1]
or
below are steps
1. In EASPATH\console, open components.xml in a text editor.
2. Under <PluginList>, enter <Plugin archiveName="SAP" packageName="com.essbase.eas.sap.ui"/> before the closing </PlugIn> tag.
3. Save and close the file.
4. In EASPATH\console\bin, open admincon.lax in a text editor.
5. Search for lax.class.path= and append ;..\lib\sap_client.jar;..\lib \sap_common.jar to the entry. Save and close the file.
6. In EASPATH\server\bin, open adminsvr.lax in a text editor.
7. Search for lax.nl.java.option.additional, and append -DRFC_INI=EASPATH\server\saprfc.ini. Save and close the file.
8. Create a new environment variable, RFC_INI, with a value of EASPATH\server\saprfc.ini
9. Copy librfc.dll andsapjcorfc.dll to EASPATH\server\bin. You may need to obtain these files from SAP.
let me know if it works :)
