Flat file upload ( data from Non SAP)

Hi experts --
Need to create say morethan 400 infobjects in our scenario.
so can any one help me, is there any alternative to create the same rather than creating manually.Is there any option thru BDC. i mean thru a file with data types,length,..description... if so would like to get explained clearly.
I hope my question is clear.
Thanks and regards,
Vishwa.

Hello viswanath krishnamoorthy,
How r u ?
I believe this is not possible! because 400 InfoObjects may contain Characteristics and Key Figures, also the main problem is using BDC - Recording method u can update tables but not Activation.
No other option create them Manually.
Best Regards....

Uploading data from non sap system to sap system

hi to all experts,
my requirement is to upload data into the sap system from non sap system . the data is in a flat file ,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system. How to upload the data into sap system ....

hi,
the data is in a flat file,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system.
If the data is in excel sheet use this FM.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME                      = P_FILE
      I_BEGIN_COL                   = 1
      I_BEGIN_ROW                   = 1
      I_END_COL                     = 17
      I_END_ROW                     = 3000
    TABLES
      INTERN                        = itab
EXCEPTIONS
INCONSISTENT_PARAMETERS       = 1
UPLOAD_OLE                    = 2
OTHERS                        = 3
It will read the data from excel sheet column wise and then store it in ITAB. you can change the order after reading the file.
In case of Text file use FM GUI_UPLOAD.
You can change the order of the fileds after reading it from file, but the length and all you have to make compatible to SAP standard fields.

How Can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP in WebDynpro

Hi,
I hope u understand my query, How can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP thru WebDynpro Programming.
Help out with the steps for getting the data or procedure.
Regards,
Mutyapu

You can expose the APIs in the Non-SAP backend as Web Services, and consume them in SAP by creating an Enterprise Proxy. Then these can be called just like normal class methods from Web Dynpro.

FICA -IDOC for posting the billing data from NON-SAP ISU system

Hi,
Kindly note we are implementing NON-SAP ISU with SAP FICA for the finance implementation. In this context, we ahve identified BAPI for BP and CA. We have decided to go for transaction posting through the transaction FPE1. For this, we are looking for the transaction data IDOC which is CTRACDOCUMENT_ACCOUNT (FICA Posting) in the WEDI. But it seems that it is not yet released. Can anybody help me out for this to either identify the equivalent IDOC or other method to post the data from Banner system (NON-SAP ISU ) system. We are presently not implmenting billing system in SAP ISU, but only FI system

Hi,
you can create the same...
but normal practice what we do is create swc for each system so that it is easy to maintain and easy to extend in the future..
or else follow some conventions if you are just starting the things..

Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

Hi all,
is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.

Data load into SAP ECC from Non SAP system

Hi Experts,
I am very new to BODS and I have want to load historical data from non SAP source system into SAP R/3 tables like VBAK,VBAP using BODS, Can you please provide steps/documents or guidelines on how to achieve this.
Regards,
Monil

Hi
In order to load into SAP you have the following options
1. Use IDocs. There are several standard IDocs in ECC for specific objects (MATMAS for materials, DEBMAS for customers, etc., ) You can generate and send IDocs as messages to the SAP Target using BODS.
2. Use LSMW programs to load into SAP Target. These programs will require input files generated in specific layouts generated using BODS.
3. Direct Input - The direct input method is to write ABAP programs targetting on specific tables. This approach is very complex and hence a lot of thought process needs to be applied.
The OSS Notes supplied in previous messages are all excellent guidance to steer you in the right direction on the choice of load, etc.,
However, the data load into SAP needs to be object specific. So targetting merely the sales tables will not help as the sales document data held in VBAK and VBAP tables you mentioned are related to Articles. These tables will hold sales document data for already created articles. So if you want to specifically target these tables, then you may need to prepare an LSMW program for the purpose.
To answer your question on whether it is possible to load objects like Materials, customers, vendors etc using BODS, it is yes you can.
Below is a standard list of IDocs that you can use for this purpose to load into SAP ECC system from a non SAP system.
Customer Master - DEBMAS
Article Master - ARTMAS
Material Master - MATMAS
Vendor Master - CREMAS
Purchase Info Records (PIR) - INFREC
The list is endless.........
In order to achieve this, you will need to get the functional design consultants to provide ETL mapping for the legacy data to IDoc target schema and fields (better to ahve sa tech table names and fields too). You should then prepare the data after putting it through the standard check table validations for each object along with any business specific conversion rules and validations applied. Having prepared this data, you can either generate flat file output for load into SAP using LSMW programs or generate IDoc messages to the target SAPsystem.
If you are going to post IDocs directly into SAP target using BODS, you will need to create a partner profile for BODS to send IDocs and define the IDocs you need as inbound IDocs. There are few more setings like RFC connectivity, authorizations etc, in order for BODS to successfully send IDocs into the SAP Target.
Do let me know if you need more info on any specific queries or issues you may encounter.
kind regards

Problem in Fetching data using RFC FM from NON SAP system

Hi All,
Need help from experts on data transfer using RFC from a non SAP system/database. I have creasted the destination in sm59.
I have created a function module too which has an import parameter as a query and export parameter as an internal table.
No when i test run this function module it returns some entries. But when I call this FM in a program it throws a dump 'rfc_external_abort' . Here is what the call to FM looks like in my program. Please guide me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Saket.

Hi,
your question..
DATA : lv_query TYPE string,
it_gddbdata TYPE ZC9_TAB_SOLMAN_XI_RFC.
lv_query = 'SELECT * FROM GDDB.VW_GDDB_PERSONS WHERE LASTNAME = ''''A'''''.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_C9_SOLMAN_XI_GDDBCON'
DESTINATION 'D39'
EXPORTING
in_sql_query = lv_query
IMPORTING
ET_GDDB_DATA = it_gddbdata
you are telling that you are fetching the data from non sap system using RFC function module.. how it is possible..you canot fetch the data from non SAP system using RFC FM alone.. you have to use the concept BAPI.. it will work..
I hope this will help you..

What ATP category to use when loading from non SAP system

Hi Experts,
We are sourcing transactional data from SAP R/3 and using CIF to transfer these data to APO.
Now we have new sets of material locations where we are going to source transcational data from non-SAP system. We are going to extract file from non-SAP system and load it to APO. My question is, do I need to create new categories (non SAP categories) for all these transactional data (sales order, production order, purchase order, etc...) Or can I just use existing SAP categories that are getting populated when data are coming from R/3 through CIF.
If its possible, can I use RLCDELETE to delete previously posted transactional data? because we are planning to do full refresh and reload everyday.
Appreciate your help. Thanks
Regards,
Mylene

Hi My lene,
If i undersood your question correctly, you are trying to upload transaction data into APO system using file interface.
You can use custom or standard ATP categories to upload any type of transaction data and deletion of those orders also possible for both the ATP categories using RLCDLETE report (except salesorder and fixed planned orders, they can be deleted by SDORDER_DEL & DELETE_PP_OREDER reports respectively).
Custome categoires will be used in case additional data needs to get stored in APO system along with the standard transaction data coming from ECC system . For example, salesorders coming from ECC and uploaded from file.
If the transaction data coming from only one source system then it is better to use standard categories.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagadeesh

Uploading Data from a Flat File

Hi
I am trying to Upload data from a Flat File to the MDS. I have a few questions on the Process.
a) XI would be the Interface, and one end would be a file adapter with the Flat File format. On the other end, which Interface should I use - ABA Business Partner In or MDM Business Partner In. I do not understand the differences between them and where should which one be used?
B) At the moment,I want to map the data to standard Object type, Business Partner BUS1006. This also has a staging area already defined in the System. Can I view the data which is imported into the Staging area ? How so ?
C) The struture (or data) that I wish to upload has few fields, and does not map to the BP structure easily. In such a scenario does it make sense to
Create a new Object type
(ii) Create a new Business Partner type with the appropriate fields only ..
What I need to know is if either of these options is feasible and what are the pros & cons of doing this, in terms of effort, skillset & interaction with SAP Development ?
Kindly do reply if you have any answers to these questions.
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your inputs.
I have tried uploading some dats from a Flat file to the Business Partner Onject type, BUS1006. I initially got some ABAP Parsing errors on the MDM side, but after correcting that, I find my message triggers a short dump - with the Method SET_OBJECTKEYS, not finding any keys in the BP structure that has been created.
Q1 - How do I get around this problem ? Is it necessary for me to specify Keys in the PartyID node of the Interface ABABusinessPartnerIn. or is it something else ?
Q2 - How is this general process supposed to work? I would assume that for staging, I would get incomplete Master data or data from flat files, which need not neccesarily contain keys. The aim is to use the matching strategies in the CI to identify duplicates and consolidate them.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards,
Gaurav
