Extraction unicode BW & unicode R/3 source system

Hello,
I have a situation where I need to load a material master data from R/3 to BW. In source system for material description, language key used as "EN" and description maintained in Chinese language. Both R/3 and BW systems are unicode compliance. When I load a data in to BW, I get corrupted data. In BW all characters are replaced by '#'. Conversion takes place correctly where language key= "ZH" and material descriptions are maintained in same language i.e Chinese.
I need to know, if this is normal. I'm expecting that, since both R3 and BW are unicode compliance sytem, there should not be any problem if language key is maintained one language and description maintained in another language.
System Details:
BW : 3.5
R/3 : 4.7
Please advice me on this.
Thank you and appreciate your help.
regards
Raj.

Hi Dinesh,
Thanks for the link. I had earlier gone through the links you mentioned. After doing some research, I found the solution. I need to change the RFC destination parameter for BW client in R/3 system.
1. Go to SM59 in R/3 source system.
2. select BW client
3. Go to special option tab
4. Change 'Character width in source system' to 'unicode'
After changing this parameter, BW load was success without any data corruption.
Thank you.
Regards
Raj.

What is Extracted from Source Systems

Hi All,
is there a simple way of seeing if there is any data extraction taking place from a specific source system connected to BW?
Instead of looking at everything seperatly/manually I am hoping there is way to see if there is any extraction taking place from a certain source system.
many thanks.
Andrew

Thanks Olivier,
That was what I needed to know.

Error in the Source system while data loding through Process Chain

Hi,
I am facing issue while data loading for certain extractors through Process chain. Load of 0BPM_WIHEAD, 0BP_LOGHIST, OBPM_OBJREL, 0BPM_DEADLINES(there are 2-3 more extractors) is getting failed daily with message Error occurred in the source system and if we repeat the same it is getting executed successfully.
Regards,
Javed

Hi..
It means that the extraction job is failing in the source system..
Please check the Job log in the source system --> Copy the request nimber --> In the source system go to SM37 --> Give * then the request number......execute --> Check the Job log..
Look there may be multiple reasons behind this....
1) Connection problem : Go to SM59 and test the connection, If you don't have the access in SM59...then go to RSA1 --> Source Systems --> Right click --> Connection Parameters --> Connection Test
2) Or may be work processes are not available and due to which jobs are failing due to time out...
In both the cases you can check with the Basis Team if they can suggest something....or you can change the process chain scheduling time if possible, and schedule it in such a time when less no of jobs are running..

2LIS_02_HDR : Source System ID error

Trying to upload from this datasource in 3.5 environment. I keep getting error while extracting, erroneous data in PSA.
Source System ID not found, how do I fix this?
Thanks in advance
Fran

Fran
Go To RSA1>Tools>choose assignment of source system to source system ID-->assign ID. assign your source system ID to source system and save it
You could find source system ID in your source system tab
Hope this helps

Changes in source system dyring Unicode conversion

Hi,
I've upgraded our R/3 non-Unicode installation to ERP 6.0 non-Unicode using CU&UC guide. Now I plan to do the export & import phase to migrate the source system to Unicode.
My question is, does the export phase (where the Unicode conversion actually takes place) do any changes in the source system? It' is a production system, and when something goes wrong or the time exceeds the limit I have for the export, I need to stop the export, put it back to production and try another time. So I need to be sure that the export itself doesn't do any changes to the source system.
Thanks in advance
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
the export simply "copies" the source system (and converts the data to Unicode) - it does not change it.
Therefore you can still use it after the export is finished.

Data extraction from Non-Unicode ECC6 to Unicode SAP BI system

Hi,
We have an existing non-unicode ECC6 system. Currently we are installing SAP BI unicode system. Can anyone tell me are there any issues in data extraction for SAP BI from a non-unicode ECC6 system to an Unicode SAP BI system ?
Please also note that our data consists of Asian (korean, Japanese & Chinese) fonts.
Regards,
Anirban

Hi Des Gallagher,
Thank you for your reply.
I have gone through the notes suggested by you, but they suggest issues related to BW 3.x versions. We are currently on SAP_BW 700 - SP16. Also, among other notes i found note 510882 which might be helpful for custom developments.
But i am still wondering whether we are going to face major issues related to data extraction from non-unicode ECC6 system to unicode SAP_BW 700 system.
Incase you have any further details, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Incorrect Unicode setting while activation source system

HI,
I am not able to activate the source system. It gives me error of
"The unicode settings for destination BIQCLNT750 do not match the source system."
Please let me know how to fix it.
Thanks,
Dave.

Check whether you have maintained the proper Unicode settings were selected in SM59 (RFC settings) in both BW as well as in R/3?
If You are dealing with Unicode system (BW and R/3) then make sure that you select the unicode here in SM59 if not then you need to choose the other Radio button.
Once done then save the changes and then try to "restore" the connection again in order to activate the same.
Also check the below note for your issue:
Note 1156948 - Correction: Unicode indicator is incorrect
Hope this helps and solve your issue...

Transport from Non-Unicode to Unicode system

I'd like to transfer program from SAP 4.6c to SAP ECC 6.0.
But source system is Non-Unicode, and target system is Unicode.
I exported transport request from SAP 4.6c into files:
K920948.D51
R920948.D51
then importing into SAP ECC 6.0 by STMS and getting error:
"Program ZRM06EF00: Syntax error in line 000000
The program 'ZRM06EF00' is not Unicode-compatible,according to its program attributes."
What should i do?

Hi:
It is required to make the change accordingly of UCCHECK.
So upload in the higher version, and check its syntax error first and then activate.

Error in source system while extracting the data from R/3!

Hi,
i had created FM and extract strcucture in R/3 .
using the above two, i had created data source using RSO2 T code.
when i checked the extractor ( RSA3 T code) in R/3 it was working fine .
(status messege displayed as 1000 records selected).
then i assigned this data source to infocurce and creted info cube using the same info source.
but when i schedule the info package it is syaing in the monitor screen "error in source system".
what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi
trhese are the possiblies
1.first check the source system connection and find if there is any error in it.
2.Go to sm37 and find whether the request is completed or not if its terminated find out the time. how long does it takes to complete the process.
3.once again relicate the data source and find whether is it again extract data.

Hi all,
I have created one custom datasource which is full update (not delta).

Hi
Whats logic for datasource?

Extraction failing after source system and client copy

Hi all,
We refreshed our source QA system with a copy of production. And basically tried to "restore" the connection from our BW QA system. Some of the datasources can be extracted from BW, others fail with an error of "No transfer structure is available for InfoSource 0COSTCENTER_ATTR in the source system".
Trying to do the same thing with RSA3 in the source system, works fine.
The strange thing is it works for some objects but not others.
here's what we did:
1. System copy from R3 Prod to R3 QA
2. Client copy with R3 QA client 300 -> 200
3. Restore connectivity in BW QA to the R3 QA system (Using RSA1 -> Source System -> Restore)
4. Now some objects can be extracted in BW, others fail as I mentioned above.
I have regenerated the transfer structures in BW and R3.
All of these objects that don't work seem to work in RSA3 on the R3 system but not in RSA1 on BW.
All the SAP documentation is geared to copying the R3 source system and then restoring connectivity between BW and R3. I don't think any of it involves copying the client in the R3 source system - which might be causing our problems.
We are using an SAP delivered PDF and note 886102 mainly for direction.
SAP PDF is "How to... System Copy in SAP Business Intelligence System Landscapes".
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
can you isolate somehow the kind of DataSource which works and those who don't?
Master data / transactional or client dependent and not, delta or full....
To which R/3 client is your BW connected? when you succeed loading the data, is it coming from the right client?
RSA3: do you run it specifying your BW client in the target sys field? does it make a difference if yes or if not?
Are your RFC connections and partner profiles all right?
Check some IDOCs sent by BW received in R/3 and vice-versa (RSSEND, RSINFO, RSRQST..). Load a hierarchy (via IDOC)... verify that your IDOC have the correct partner settings....
let us know
Olivier.

Slow extraction from Source System

Experts,
I'm on the basis team and we're trying to figure out what we can do to increase the performance of a BI extraction from an ECC source system.
Our BI team is doing a Full extraction of Data Source 0UC_SALES_STATS_02 which has about 24 million records. This has been running for about 2.5 days and has only extracted 12.5 million records according to RSMO
I'm no expert on BI performance, but I'm trying to get there. One thing we noticed is that we have over 1000 Data Packages and each has about 11K records per package.
RSBIW "control params for data transfer" in the BI system is set as this:
LOGSYS     -- Max KB. -- MAX Lines -- Freq -- MAx PROC -- Target Sys -- Max DPs
OURBWSYS -- 20000 --          0             -- 10    --        3            --     blank        --   blank
OURECCSYS -- 20000 --          0             -- 10    --        3            --     blank        --   blank
Also we only see one background process running on the ECC system which is the Zprogram that was written to perform the extract.
We also checked IMG - sap netweaver - BI - links to other source systems - maintain contrl params for data xfer
Freq/IDOC = 10
pkg size = 50,000
partition size = 1,000,000
We are on NWEHP1 for our BI system
We are on ECC6.0 EHP3sp5 for our ECC system
We use Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 with it fully tuned
We also think we have all the correct tuning parameters in our ECC/BI systems. There are a few tweaks we could make but I don't see any glaring problems. All our memory parameters seem to be in line with what is recommended.
We do not see any kind of Memory/CPU bottlenecks.
Do you think the many data packages and small records per package is a problem?
Any tips to increase performance would be helpful, I'm still looking.
I saw this wiki thread and it mentions to look at tcode RSA3 in ECC system to monitor long extracts.   But I have looked at this and I have not figured out what all needs to go into the fields to correctly run this.
Any help you can provide would be great.
Thanks,
NICK

HI Nick,
This problem is due to the huge volumes of data and the job is ruinng from long time onwards, normally we will kill the job if it exceeds more than 8 hours time while extracting the data.
Please suggest your BI Team to pull data in small volumes by providing selections in info package. This will drastically redcues the time for extraction of huge data and will also not consume all the resources in system.
Please pass below links to your BI team as this is completely releated to design issue.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/39/b520d2ba024cfcb542ef455c76b250/frameset.htm
Type of DSO should be write optimized to increase load performance.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/34/1c74415cb1137de10000000a155106/frameset.htm
2. And at your end look for the table spaces of the PSA tables, may be it is execeeding its capacity and make it as automatic. instead of manullay assigning the space at the regular intervals.
Hope this helps.

Reddy
