Extraction of master data from R3 into BW.

Hello.
This is my new SAP BI assignment:
I'm going to use standard SAP InfoOjects (from Business Content) in order to build a new InfoCube (Logistics - MM/SD) with for example standard Characteristics like: 0MATERIAL, 0MATL_GROUP, 0SHIP_TO, 0SOLD_TO, 0SALESORG, 0PROD_HIER, 0CUST_GROUP, 0COMP_CODE... (_Note: NO generic extraction involved_)
My question is, do I need some extra "Process Chain" (Tcode: RSPC) in order to bring all these characteristics and all associated master data/texts, attributes and hierarchies from the R/3 ( source system) into BW, or these data will come with a standard extractor into SAP BW? I mean no extra work is needed for bringing master data from R/3 in to BW?
Another question, Is there any way to know which Characteristics need an extra "Process Chain" (Tcode: RSPC) in order to bring associated master data/texts, attributes and hierarchies from the R/3 ( source system) into BW?

ASantos

Hi ,
1. In SAP R3 system go to the transaction RSA6, find the application component then select the data Source and view the structure of the data source and select all the required fields.
2. As you said no generic data source involve , then create the generic data source using the transaction SBIW, generic data sources have many creation options. view is the simplest.You can create a viewwith all requred fields on the top of different source table fieldsa per your requirement.
3.Now go to the transaction RSA3 the extractor checker ,give name of your ectractor as input and check this data source.
4.go to BW system,transaction RSA1, find the source system then replicate the metadata in the corresponding application component.After replication only the structure of the data source is copied not the actual data.
5. Create InfoPackage, so that the actual data is loaded in the PSA table.
6. Create transformation between the data source and the corresponding data target (InfoProvider - infoobject, cube, DSO). This is done by mapping the source fields with target fields using the appropriate rule type.If there are some update rules in R3 system then you may need to write some field level routines depend on your requirement.
7.Create DTP between the source and target, and execte it .It will load actual data into the target.
8.then more transformation and DTP can be created and executed according to the requirements, like from DSO to cube. Thus the data is available in BW data targets on which query can be generated for reporting.
I don't think you need any process chain for this .this is manual process but loading DTP and all can be automated via creating process chain .
For more guidence you an refer this document:

Unable to extract Customer Master data from MDC

Hello,
We creating an MDM-XI-ERP2005 Customer scenario. We want to work with all bussiness scenarios (not customizing scenario).
First I'm trying to extract Customer Master Data from EP 2005 using MDM_CLNT_EXTR.
I have created a New Variant which properties are:
Variant: CUSTOMER_TOTAL
Description: Send all customer data to MDM
Extraction Object: CUSTOMER_EXTRACT.
Target System: PI7.
But, the display jobs shows the following error: Could not determine recipients for message type MDMRECEIPT. Job cancelled after system exception.
We need to focus the problem. We have done the following ALE configuration.
SALE transaction:
In Basic Settings -> Logical Systems -> Define Logical System we have add the following logical systems:
              EUS100
              MDM: Master Data Management
              PI7: Process Integration 7.0
WE21:
Transactional RFC -> PI7, IDOC record types SAP Release 4.x
RFC destination: SAPSLDAPI
BD64
New Model -> PFMC
Add message type: Model iview: PFMC
                             Sender: EUS100
                              Receiver: PI7
                             Message Type: DEBMDM
WE20 transaction shows:
Partner profiles -> Partner Type LS (logical system)
                    PI7: Outbound parmtrs. DEBMDM, SYNCH.
Any idea will be very helpful,
Thanks in advance
Marta.

Sorry because I made a mistake in my previous message. ALE seems to be correctly configured. I'll try to update correctly my current situation:
In WE02 I can see al IDOCs that I'm trying to send to XI. All them have the IDoc Status = 3 (Data Passed to Port OK) instead of 12 Status Dispatch OK :(. So, It seems an tRFC error.
SM58 shows me more trails: "Basic type 'DEBMDM06' is unknown"
before that I have done the following steps at SAP ERP:
    1. WE21: I have created a PI7 port with 700PI70CLNT RFC.
    2. SM59: I have checked successfully 700PI70CLNT RFC connection.
    3. WE20: I have created a PI7 Partner Type LS with the following inbound and outbound parameters: DEBMDM and MDMRECEIPT.
    4. BD64: I have created a Distribution Model with DEBMDM and MDMRECEIPT message types.
and at SAP PI:
     5.IDX: Port: SAPEUS. Client: 111. RFC Destination: PI7.
     6. technical and business system for sender SAP system(System Landscape Directory)...
- Maybe some of the previous steps is not correct....
- Is RFC Destination = PI7 is correct in step #5?
- Is also necessary to configure more steps in PI system like RFC destinations or Transactional port?
- I have read that is neccessary to check that the option "transfer idoc immediately" in we20. How?
Please any idea will be very helpful.......
Thank you!

Question about Extraction of master data from R/3 into BI 3.5

Hi there,
i want to extract master data, let's say customers or material, from an R/3 system into BI 3.5.
Now I know that SAP delivers ready-to-go DataSources for certain SAP applications that can be used for this type of situation. These DataSources will map some R/3 table fields for example to the according Business Content objects in BI.
My question is:
Is there some ready-to-go DataSource for the master data i want to extract? Let it be customer data. Or "business partners" is the appropriate expression i think.
When I use Tcode SBIW to activate the DataSource I need for the extraction, I kind of have problems finding the right one. But for some simple master data I assume there must be a standard DataSource that I can use without bothering to change anything.
Or am I thinking the wrong way and it is easier than I think?
Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Some DataSources are 0MATERIAL_ATTR - 0ARTICLE_ATTR - 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR - 0ART_PLANT_ATTR - 0MAT_SALES_ATTR...
Consider that in some cases (Retail for example) you can find Master Data with 50mln of records, in this case you need absolutely delta upload method, offered by these extractors.
And above all you can always enhance these extractors.
You can built your custom extractors, on MARA - MARC - MBEW - ..., but you will not have delta capabilities and support from SAP for maintenance.
Ciao.

How to extract HRM master data from R/3 into LDIF file?

Recently I have been asked to provide an extract from our R/3 system
with some Human Resource master data. The extract has to be in the LDIF
format (LDAP data interchange format). It is needed to import into a
DirX metahub solution from Siemens.
How can this be done most easily?
(does SAP provide tools, can XI do this?) or do we have to write a
customized abap to do this?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Alex Veen

Hi Satish,
As per SAP Standard also the best way is to delete whole data from the cube and then load the data from set up tables as you have enhanced the data source.
After data source enhancement it is supported to load normally because you don't get any historical data for that field.
Best way is to take down time from the users, normally we do in weekends/non-business hours.
Then fill the set-up tables; if the data is of huge volume you can adopt parallel mechanism like:
1. Load set-up tables by yearly basis as a background job.
2. Load set-up tables by yearly basis with posting periods from jan 1st to 31st dec of any year basis as a background job.
This can make your self easier and faster for load of set-up tables. After filling up set-up tables. You can unlock all users as there is no worries of postings.
Then after you can load all the data into BI first into PSA and then into Cube.

Ravi Kanth.

How to handle/extract Hierarchies in master data from R3

Hi Experts!!!
Iu2019m currently working on HR Implementation project and this is my first project. Implementation is being done in BI 7.0 and ECC 6.0. I have some queries regarding the extraction of master data from R3 as furnished below.
1. By default all the datasources are in 3.x technology and Iu2019ve migrated all the datasources with export and successfully performed InfoPackages and DTPS into their respective InfoObjects/Data targets. But when it comes to the masterdata datasources with hierarchies, Iu2019m unable to migrate them as there is no MIGRATE option in the context menu. When I tried to create infopackage, it asked me to create Transfer rules first and perform InfoPackage. Is it mandatory to work in 3.x technology (Transfer rules/ Update rules) in case of master data hierarchies? In this case how to handle datasources with hierarchies?
2. Is it required to have any data staging component like DSO while extracting master data datasources from SAP R/3 to their respective InfoObjects (Data targets)?? Or can I directly schedule Infopackage and DTP directly into the InfoObject with out any DSOS in between for HR master data??
Good day!!!

hello,
1)
all DataSource that are created in BI 7.0 are new design, master data attribute, text and transaction DataSource can all be created in the new BI 7.0, but for hierarchy DataSource, it remains as 3.X, if you double click on the Hier DataSource, you will see the title "...Emulated 3.X ...", so the DataSource should be working perfectly fine except it is in "Modified" version, i believe it is just SAP has not or can't a way to upgrade hier DataSource.
Also,
RSDS doesnt support hierarchy datasources in BI 7.0. So we cannot use transformations and DTP with hierarchy. So it is very similar to the way we used to load it in 3.x.
Check below link for step by step procedure to load hierarchy using flat file:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/e92637c2cbf357e10000009b38f936/content.htm
2)
i dont think you need a DSO in between for laoding master data from R/3 to BI IO.

RDA method to extract MAster Data from R/3

We need to implement the way to extract the Master Data from R/3 As soon as it available in R/3, but it's not like the new MAster Data is loaded in R/3 every 5 minutes, it's more like 3 o 4 times a month and i thought about RDA method, just wanted to see you opinion on wheather it is a good option for such an infrequent loads to BW
Does this DAEMON eats a lot of system resources? Pleas if the answer could be provided by someone who actually use RDA, it be great!

Hi,
We use RDA for systems where the load is very frequent, but a Process Chain would do the required in your case as the data gets updated only a few times in a month.
RDA will be occupied in the Background Process, so that would create some problems. And it keeps on chiecking for new data.
I feel its unnecessary. So, go for Process Chains

Extract work order data from r/3 system in flat file(csv)and export to BI

Hi,
I am new in interface.
I need to extract data regarding actual cost and quantities of work assigned to Service Providers from SAP system and send it to BI for reporting purposes.
This interface will extract Master data as well as transactional data. Extraction of Master data will be a full extract and that of transactional data will be Delta Extraction.
Custom development will extract the data from different fields and will export it to flat files (CSV format). This program will amalgamate all the flat files created into one big file and export it to BI system.
Export of data to BI system will be done by schedule program Control M, which will export the data from SAP system to BI system in batches. Control M is expected to run daily at night.
Please provide the step-by-step proces to do this.
Thanks

Hi Ravi,
you've got to set up the message type MDMRECEIPT for the Idoc distribution from R/3 to XI. Check chapter 5.2 in the IT configuration guide available on <a href="http://service.sap.com/installmdm">MDM Documentation Center</a>. It describes the necessary steps.

Steps to prepare and upload legacy master data excel files into SAP?

Hi abap experts,
We have brand new installed ECC system somehow configured but with no master or transaction data loaded .It is new empty system....We also have some legacy data in excel files...We want to start loading some data into the SAP sandbox step by step and to see how they work...test some transactions see if the loaded data are good etc initial tests.
Few questions here are raised:
-Can someone tell me what is the process of loading this data into SAP system?
-Should this excel file must me reworked prepared somehow(fields, columns etc) in order to be ready for upload to SAP??
-Users asked me how to prepared their legacy excel files so they can be ready in SAP format for upload.?Is this an abaper job or it is a functional guy job?
-Or should the excel files be converted to .txt files and then imported to SAP?Does it really make some difference if files are in excel or .txt format?
-Should the Abaper determine the structure of those excel file(to be ready for upload ) and if yes, what are the technical rules here ?
-What tools should be used for this initial data loads? CATT , Lsmw , batch input or something else?
-At which point we should test the data?I guess after the initial load?
-What tools are used in all steps before...
-If someone can provide me with step by step scenario or guide of loading some kind of initial master data - from .xls file alignment to the real upload - this will be great..
You can email me some upload guide or some excel/txt file examples and screenshots documents to excersize....
Your help is appreciated it.!

BPC Error while loading master data from SAP BW

Hello Guru,
I have NW BPC 7.5 installed on BW server. Currently i have started to work on one application where i have to load master data first. I am loading master data for cost center.
I looked into the process chain "BPC: Import BW InfoObject master data" and i found that few processes are in GREEN color and few are in RED color (Display). is that correct or not ? then as per some of the thread i went to "BPC: Convert BW infoObject master data" --> SOURCE_TYPE = IP and added one parameter "FORMULA_FILE_NO". Then i saved this process chain and activated it.
I created transformation file in BPC and it got created successfully but while i try to load packages it throws me error.
Q. Do i need to have entire process chain with all processes in GREEN to have the master data in BPC ?
Q. Do i need to activate any BADI's for this or not ?
I appreciate your help in advance. I trie

Hello Guru,

Issue while loading master data from BI7 to BPC

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to load master data from BI7 to BPC NW using scenario 2 mentioned in the below document.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00380440-010b-2c10-70a1-e0b431255827
My requirement is need to load 0GL_ACCOUNT attribute and text data from BI7 system to BPC.
1.As mentioned in the How to...doc I had created a dimension called GL_ACCOUNT using BPC Admin client .
2.Able to see GL_ACCOUNT in RSA1, when I try to create a Transformation(step 17 , page-40) to load Attribute data I could not find source of transformation object as 0GL_ACCOUNT(which exist in BI7) . I could only able to see only dimensions available in BPC system when I click F4 in Name.
What could be the reason to not getting BI infoobject as source in BPC?
Thanks in advance...
regards,
Raju

Dear Gurus,
My issue got resolved. So far I'm trying to pull data from R/3>BW>BPC. In the existing land scape BW and BPC are 2 different boxes. That is the reason I couldn't able to see BW objects into BPC (since 2 are different boxes). To resolve the issue I have created a new infoobect (RSD1) in BPC and data loading is from R/3>BPC infoobject(which is created through RSD1)>BPC Dimension.
Thanks and regards,

Transfer of Business Partner Master data from CRM to TIBCO.

Hi All,
We intend to integrate CRM4.0 with TIBCO for transfer of Business Partner Master data from CRM to TIBCO.
Can anyone provide solution for the same. One of the think is through XI.Please correct if it is the right way to do it?.
Also, would appreciate if someone can provide documentation or links for integration.
Regards,
Mehul Shah.

Hi Rahul,
Yes you can integrate CRM and TIBCO using XI.
Check the below links
transfer the Business Partners from the CRM system to XI and to MDM.

any XI content delivered by SAP can be found in the SAP service marketplace which you can enter http://www.sap.com/services/bysubject/servsuptech/index.epx.
a) After you entered the service marketplace go to Software Download under the header SAP Support Portal.
b) Next navigate to Download -> Support Packages and Patches -> Entry by Application Group
c) In the main window select SAP Content and then Process Integration Content (XI Content).
d) Now you should see a list of XI content packages.
The package containing XI content for CRM is
XI CONTENT BBPCRM
In addition you find some packages that offer mappings from CRM interfaces to industry standards like RosettaNet or STAR standard, like
XI CONTENT ROSETTANET CRM
XI CONTENT STAR CRM
Some of these packages may require a license, therefore I am not sure if they are visible to you.
As per my knowledge, XI has CRM pre-delivered content and usually it communicates thru Proxies,Http, RFCs..
And in your scenario , you can always go for Proxy communication
Have a look into these threads

How to Update Master Data from R/3

Hi,
In the R/3 source system, there a few new company code.
I have run an infopackage to full update Datasource 0COMP_CODE_ATTR. But when I display data, the new company code is not there.
I also run rsattr, and selected all the infoObject list. But i still can't see the new company code.
May I know how to extract the new company code from R/3 to BI?
What are the steps?
Thank you.

Hello
Check if the DTPs ran and the monitor turns green. The monitor in DTP also tells you how many records are processed.
After that run the Attribute change Run.
In general the steps to load master data from R/3 are:
1. Execute InfoPackage
2. Run DTP
3. Run Attribute Change Run
If the company code still does not show check the tables (P & M tables) to see if the data is there and in active version.
Hope this helps
