Generic extractor question/problem

Hello,
I want to create a generic extractor on custom table which should delta enabled . This custom table has ERDAT( creation date) and ERZET u2013 Entry time but the client is asking me to use both fields for delta functionality . I am not sure how to do this . Please help .
Regards,

As you said client want you to use both the date n time stamp field to extract delta you can follow the below steps.
- Create the generic data source as per you requirement in order to pic the delta
- Open you extract structre and append the field TZNTSTMP, this is the field which holds the time stamp.
- to setup deltas click on generic delta --> select time stamp(UTC)

Generic extractor Delta problem

hello,
i have created a Generic extractor based on the AUFM table and the delta field is MBLNR (Material document no) that is a numeric pointer used for delta. My problem is that when i pull the delta not all records are being pulled. Why is that so? Can anyone give suggestions.
thanks
Laura.

Well, using Function module is one approach. I can provide you another approach.
You can create a View based on the following tables
AUFM and MKPF,
use the join condition
AUFM-MANDT= MKPF-MANDT.
AUFM-MBLNR = MKPF-MBLNR
AUFM-MJAHR = MKPF-MJAHR
In AUFM select all the fields that you want and MKPF select the "Accounting Document entry date" field which you can take it as delta field and select calday as your delta option.
Once view is created, you can generate the datasource.
Please check this option.
I think it should work...
Thanks

Generic Extractor Question

Hi
I would like to create a Generic Extractor on table QMFE which has Created Date and Changed Date fields.
If I have to get deltas, I can use only one field in Extractor for Delta option: Either Created Date or Change Date.
If I use Create Date, I'll miss Changes and vice versa.
I felt Function Module Extractor will be 2much complex.
Can any one suggest what is the best approach to get deltas in this scenario?
Thanks
Sree

Hi Sree,
1) The simplest approach will be to create a single extractor and set the delta pointer to Changed Date, but this is only possible if you populate changed date = Created date for the very first time you create records. So that by using changed date you will not miss any newly created delta records, check with your functional team whether this is possible or not?
2) Otherwise you can create two generic extractors and use two different delta pointers one with Created Date and other with changed date. In the generic extractor you simply need to set your delta pointer and modify the OPEN CURSOR statment to include the proper delta field in selection of data. Rest of your code will be same for both the extractors.
Now if you go for 1st approach then you will have to create only one IP in BW and include it in process chain but in 2nd approach you will have to create two IP (one for each DS) and include both in process chain. It will only increase your data loading time.

Problem in creating a Generic Extractor on a custom 'Z' table

This is regarding an earlier question I posted in sdn today. I am trying to create a generic extractor on a custom 'Z' table and iam getting the following message.
Invalid extract structure template YBW_Z3PVR of DataSource YCNA_3PVAR_RPT
Message no. R8359
Diagnosis
You tried to generate an extract structure with the template structure Z3PVR. This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field MENGE refer to a different table.
Procedure
Use the template structure to create a view or DDIC structure that does not contain the inadmissable fields.
Please advise. how do i solve this?

Hi there,
Is your Z* table working? It must be add check field for quantity field and currency field.
Hope this helps.

Problems appending to a Generic Extractor

I have a Generic Extractor which is built on a customer defined table. I have tried to append a ZZ field to the Extract structure but the Append button is greyed out.
I therefore directly added the ZZ field into the structure and wrote the logic in the user exit to populate.
When I go to RSA6 the field is not visible. Why is this and how can I resolve? Thanks

Hi-
Is it possible to delete DS? If so....do that first!
goto RSO2 Create it again
RSA6/Select DS/Enhance Extraction Structure/Add fields/Activate
CMOD/Program/Include....
Then come back to RSA6, try it
I hope this can be out the issue!
Thanks,
Chandra.

A question about Generic Extractor

Hi everyone,
I excuted Generic Extractor to extract customer reference data to MDM server. I deselect "Local download" and select "Upload via FTP", there is no error and the reference data was transfered to corresponsing mdm port directories. But xml files of the reference data were also downloaded into the local directory from where I upload Ports and Check-Tables.
Could you give some suggestion about it.
best regards,

Hi Lionsir,
It could be the case that you have given the local file directory address in the generate XSD option.
Just check the same.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,,

Generic extractor help needed badly.

Hi Geeks,
As continuation to questions I posted in the morning.
1> I have created a generic extractor say ZBW_PRICING.
2> ZBW_PRICING is based on tables A508 & KONP.
3> One of the currency fields I am interested in that is
   KBETR has reference field RV13A-KBETR.
4> Rv13A is a structure not a DB table so I can not give
   reference to RV13A while building view.
5> So I appended the extract structure with two fields.
   ZZKBETR (rate) & ZZKONWA (currency key) to populate it from KONP.
6> I activated the appended structure as well as extract structure.
7> In RSA6 when I try to unhide field & save it.
   I get following error.
   The OLTP source still has errors.
   Message no R8417.
Please help fellows its important for me.
thanx in advance.
Monica

Kunal and Subray,
I had the same problem while trying to unhide the field.
I solved the error by giving the proper reference table and field names to the required field in extract structure, which in my case has been a currency field.
( Since I have a generic extractor, I changed the Reference Table name to Transparent table name. I changed the field name to corresponding field name within the Transparent table).
Thank you.
(Also, I see that Transparent Table name = extract structure name = DataSource name. I think the names might be same for Generice Datasources by default)

Error while creating Generic Extractor via Function Module

Hello Guys
I have created a Generic Extractor through a Function Module. I took the Standard FM: RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE, gave it a new name and activated it. I made a few changes in it, like giving my structure name for E_T_DATA and giving the list of tables, from where I need to get the data. Then I created the datasource in RSO2 by giving this function module and the extract structure.
The DS was created properly, but when I check in RSA3 for records, its giving me an error: ---> The extraction program does not support object YCNA_INVY_TRNS
What do i do now? Can someone please tell me, what changes I need to make in the standard FM to suit my requirements??
Thanks.

Hi,
Just try to reactivate the structure once again. And when you open the function module, if the problem still persists just try to press Return key several times. The message you are getting is just a warning message.
PS: I am not sure whether this is the correct way, but i personally resolved this by pressing the ENTER key 4 or 5 times. So just give a try.

Creation of a generic extractor and data source for the FAGLFLEXA table

Hi All,
Need to create a generic extractor and data source for the FAGLFLEXA table to support AR reporting. This table contains the necessary profit center information to perform LOB reporting against the AR data.
Please advice on how to do this.
Regards, Vishal

Hi Vishal,
Its seems a simple a work out.
1.Go to RSO2 & choose the relevant option ie. whether you want to create Transactional DS, Master Data DS or Text DS.
2. Name it accordingly & then create.
3. Give description to it & then give table name FAGLFLEXA.
4. Save it & activate. If you need it to be delta enabled then click over Delta & you can choose accordingly.
If you still face some problem then do mail me at [email protected]

How to identify update mode in function module for generic extractor

Hi All,
I have created generic extractor using function module which supports delta load.
Delta logic is handeled in coding...by using ROOSGENDLM table.
Now problem is we need to identify the update mode, requested from infopackage in our function module in order to apply logic for Repair full.
I would like to know table or parameter in source system, which contain the update mode (Init , Delta , Full).
Thanks,
Niraj

Hi Niraj
You can use the FM import parameter "i_updmode" (This is of type "SBIWA_S_INTERFACE-UPDMODE") to determine if infopackage triggerred in full or delta mode.
I_REQUNR     TYPE     SBIWA_S_INTERFACE-REQUNR
I_ISOURCE     TYPE     SBIWA_S_INTERFACE-ISOURCE                               InfoSource Name
I_MAXSIZE     TYPE     SBIWA_S_INTERFACE-MAXSIZE                               Data Packet size
I_INITFLAG     TYPE     SBIWA_S_INTERFACE-INITFLAG                               Initial Flag
I_UPDMODE     TYPE     SBIWA_S_INTERFACE-UPDMODE                               Update Mode

Parth Kulkarni,
following the note and the other thread, I've check the index 4 of the table COEP.
Here is what I got:
Index ID           COEP             - 4
Short text         MANDT/TIMESTMP/OBJNR, Index for Delta read method (CO-PA)
Last changed       SAP             04.01.2010
Status             Active          Saved
                   Does not exist in the database
DB index nme
    Not defined as DB index in the ABAP Dictionary
Is the fact that it doesn't exist in the database a problem ?
Is the fact that it is active is good enough ?
By the way thanks for your speedy reply !

Create generic extractor based on 2 tables

hey BI gurus,
I have to create a generic extractor based on these 3 tables:
eban - i need all fields
vttk - i need only 4 fields i.e
                                     route,
                                     tknum,
                                     datbg,
                                     daten
ekbe - budat.
now the problem is thr is no common field between vttk & eban AND vttk & ekbe. but thr is a common field between eban & ekbe.so i can create a view only on these 2 tables but i want 3 tables
how do i proceed???

Hi,
Sometimes, if your application or requirement makes it necessary, you have to create your own function module to extract the data from whatever sap system to bw.
Therefore you normally make a copy of the standard fm 'RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE'. To make this new function work for you, you have to realize the following.
1.) the fm gets called by the extraction api for at least 2 times. First time is for initialization and from the 2nd time on it is for data extraction.
2.) right after the last data package (somehow you need to make sure that it is the last one) you have to raise the exception no_more_data.

How to use 2 date field as delta control in generic extractor.

Hi colleagues:
I have developed a generic extractor to extract logistic data: Purchase Orders and Invoice. In order to do that, I have defined a view joining EKBE, EKKO, EKPO, EKET tables on R/3. By this approach, the delta mechanism is supposed to be controlled by the EKBE-BUDAT field and also by the EKPO-AEDAT field. Both fields are available on the view used to create the Datasource. However, the Datasource creation allows us to define just one field as delta control.
I have a few questions regarding to this scenario:
1 - Is it possible to define 2 fields as delta control field on Generic Datasource?
2 - How about creating two similar Datasouces, one having AEDAT as delta control, the other having BUDAT as delta control, and then connect those Datasources to an unique Infosource on the bw side?
Best regards
Waldemar

hi,
1 - as far as I know it is not possible to define 2 fields
2 - this workaround is used often in cases like yours.
Just remember about order of extracting: first you extract new documents then changed
Regards,
Andrzej

Generic Extractor on DB Table without Date, Time stamp

Hi all,
We have requirement of creating a generic extractor on the table which doesnt have date or time stamp in the data field. The only option availabel is to extract from Document numbers.
And we cant put the extractor mode to "Read from view" because the table contains Currency field which refers to external table for currency key.
The moment we change the extractor mode from Extraction from view to Extraction from FM the option "Numeric pointer" gets hidden.
What shall we do in this scenario ?? Pls advice.
Thanks.
Regards
Nimesh

Hello Tapan, Prakash
Prakash : Currency key is needed in BW .
Tapan : I was just trying diff. options i.e. extraction from view and FM . Problem with Generic Extractor is that i dont have any date fields getting updated in the table. The only field that can be used for delta is document number. And Generic extractor only allows date or time stamp option , its not allowing numeric pointer if one reads from FM.

Nimesh

0RecordMode implementation in Generic Extractor & ODS

Hi All,
We have scenario of generic extractor supplying data to ODS . Now we want to implement deletion functionality using record mode .
We have added 0recordmode to ODS and infosource . What additional thing we need to do in case of achieving deletion of data from ODS . ( Tried supplying record mode D to ODS but system doesnt delete the record).
One more thing is in ods we have 4 keyfields out of which we are able to supply only 3 fields in the infosource which supplies data deletion records.
Could any body please explain as how to achieve this ...
Thanks !
Regards
Mr Kapadia

Hi Kapadia,
In transfer rules level change the record mode to R rather than D. Let me know if you have any questions.
