From AS/400 to SAP

Dear all,
I've got to integrate on a daily basis a file which is intially generated by an AS/400 system into SAP 5.0.
Incoming data format RDB*?
Data types are FI
Volume not so big
Frequency daily
Would the batch input be the best way to do so?
Regards.

Hi Guru,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes. I intend to pull data into SAP. Those data are already generated thanks to a RPG program. The next step is to integrate them into SAP. I'd like to do so without modifying the RPG program nor initial data format (in output of AS/400). In fact I was wondering if in standard SAP 5.0 does not include any tools to allow inbound data transfer with AS/400 based system.
Regarding the Idocs vs Batch input. I understand that Idocs is much more scalable and powerfull. However in terms of realization, which one would be heavier. Because in middle term this data flow should disappear.
Regards.

Error message is 'The Request Error : 400' with SAP Download Manager

Hello,
The authorization object SWDOWNLOAD (download software) is assigned to the My user ID.
But I could not download below that file.
SAP_ABA 710 (4~8)
SAP_BASIS 710 (4~8)
PI_BASIS 2006_1_710 (4~8)
SAP_BW 710 (4~8)
Error message is 'The Request Error : 400' with SAP Download Manager
I logged on to SAP Service Marketplace, software download area /swdc.
I have created objects in the download basket and have received approvals (->Maintenance-Optimizer) where required.
I start the SAP Download Manager and the objects from the download basket are visible in the object list of the program window.
After I choose "Objects for Download", the system starts the download.
In the info-line (in the lower part of the window), the system displays the message 'Processing object...' and then 'The request failed: 400'.

Hello,
In these cases the following things should be checked:
1.- Please be sure that you are using the latest Donwload Manager version
2.- S-User and password should be active
3.- Specify the proxy. Please refer to SAP Note 155954
4.- It might be that you are not licensed for the product you want to download.
If the checkings above are correct and the problem is still alive, I would recommend you to open an SAP customer message under component XX-SER-SAPSMP-SDM providing the following information:
1.- The exactly software product name and package or stack number you try to download.
2.- Attach to the message the results of the trace file generated as per note 574885:
574885 - Download Manager: Generate trace file for analysis
I hope this helps you.

Chnaging logical file path - Migrated from As/400 to wintel

Hi,
How do i change the default file path of logical file .
I need to change path of a logical file in MI34 tcode from C:\usr\sap\DEV\SYS\global to out new Virtually created directory.
Recetly We moved from OS/400 to WINTEL environment
I wenin to FILE transaction but still it it looking at
C:\usr\sap\DEV\SYS\global??? How do i over write it?
Regards
Prasad

Hi Vara,
to change the default logical file path , you need to change in Program. since this is standard program, you need to copy into 'Z' program and change. This is one option.
Better to do is, change the physical path of the Logical file path in FILE transaction. may be this will work.
All the Best.

SSO from Microsoft ISA to SAP enterprise Portal

Hi Gurus,
Our vendors access the Internal network using MS-ISA as proxy.The first point of authentication is MS-ISA where the Vendor needs to give his User id and Password.After that he hits the Internal Portal and is prompted for a Login again.Is there a way to set up SSO from MS-ISA to SAP EP7.0 so that there is no need for second Logon.
Thanks in Advance!

The easiest, and common way to solve this, l but not the only way is to use ISA as a proxy and use the fact that the ID of the authenticated user can be stored in an http header variable (e.g. REMOTE_USER). This HTTP header variable can then be used by the back-end SAP system (internal portal) to authenticate the user and issue an SSO2 ticket so that the authentication only needs to occur first time they access a page on the SAP system.
The use of HTTP Header variables in SAP J2ee engine is widely documented on SDN and in SAP help library.
Thanks,
Tim

Unable to delete Role from User ID in SAP SOLMAN production system but able to from DEV with the same authorization, pls suggest

unable to delete Role from User ID in SAP SOLMAN production system but able to from DEV with the same authorization, pls suggest

Hi,
For SU01 role removal, you do not need S_USER_AGR with 02, and as you mentioned both authorizations available in production, if so trace should not show you the S_USER_AGR with 02 with RC=04.
I would recommend to do role comparison for the user performing the activity. and then check if you have the S_USER_AGR with 02 in user buffer SU56.
But ideally it should not ask you S_USER_AGR for 02 through SU01, so please take help of abaper to debug it.
Also put trace in non-prd to see if S_USER_AGR is getting checked with 02 for removal through SU01.

Fetching of multiple files from Application Server into SAP Program

Hi All,
I have a issue related Fetching of multiple files from Application Server into SAP Program.
Actual issue is as below.
In the selection screen of my program i will give Application Server Path as :
/PW/DATA/SAP/D1S/PP/DOWN/eppi0720*
Then the based on above input it should pick up all the files that are matching eppi0720* criteria.
Suppose if i am having 5 files with above scenario, i have to fetch all those 5 files at a time and place in my SAP Program.
All those 5 file's data should come into SAP at a time.
Can anybody tell me how can we solve above issue.
If any body has come across same issue please provide me with solution.
Thanks in advance.

How to UNLOCK queues when data is migrated from legacy system to SAP syste

Hi All,
I need some help regarding queues (SMQ2). XI is been used to migrate data from legacy system to SAP system. Sometimes the queue is getting locked. Once the queue is unlocked then the message is processed correctly. So, the incoming queues must be "unlocked" routinely so that they can process through the system. There is a standard report RSQIWKEX available that can be scheduled in SAP system to automatically unlock the queues. Before using the standard report RSDIWKEX, we made sure that we have added parameter MONITOR QRFC_RESTART_ALLOWED set to "1" in Integration Engine specific configuration (TCODE SXMB_ADM).We are unable to analyze the reason for locking of queues and how to avoid it. If the locking of the queues can not be avoided, is there any way to unlock the queues? We tried executing this report but were not successful in unlocking the queues. Please guide us in solving this issue. It would be really helpful if you can give us a direction in solving this problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Shwetha.

Hi,
Just check if the Queues are registered in Transaction SMQR.
If its not, then register the Queue by pressing 'Register' Button

Hi,
1) No updates will have been done for the items with errors.
2) Mark the Batch, then press F2 to call up the analysis. You can check here for the cause.
3) If you are not going to correct the items or the cause so as to post them, just delete the batch.

Data migration from legacy system to SAP

hi all,
could you please post some docs on migration from legacy system to SAP system., also the problems faced while migration and best practices in data migration
regards
sridharan

Hi ,
I require few details from you.
1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.
