How Lotus Notes as Source System?

Hi,
is there a (easy) possibility to connect a Lotus Notes
database to the BW system as source system?
How can I do this?
Regards
Mike

Hello Michael,
there are two options to achieve this:
(1) use the NotesSQL ODBC driver
Lotus Notes/Domino is a hierarchical database system - not a relational DBMS. In Notes, there are documents with fields and documents are ordered by views. In relational DBMS, you have tables with columns and rows.
Therefore, the NotesSQL driver creates a special view called "universal relation" based on ALL fields of ALL documents in a notes database. This works because the field names within a notes datbase have to be unique.
The resulting view "universal relation" may feature up to 100 columns and more since it renders all fields as colums. The individual Notes documents popultate the rows. Then, you may copy the data to a "real" relational database and load the data into SAP BW. I didn't try myself to online connect NotesSQL to BW ODBC.
Download the NotesSQL driver from the Lotus Developer Domain (http://www.notes.net).
(2) write a LotusScript or Java agent that creates a CSV or XML file based on the document content. Then load that file.
Please be aware that the datatypes in Lotus may not match the datatypes in BW. Sometimes, Lotus relies on binary data types and RTF format. This however is not readable to BW.

Michael

How to de-activate source system in BI system...?

How to de-activate source system in BI system...?
Regs,
Naren..

Hi,
I feel we cant de activate the source system. Either we can aceive to do any of the following method:
1. Delete the source system
2. Remove the RFC Destination.
3. Remove the authorization to load the data.
I dont know why you are asking to deactivate the system. Coz this will not cuase any problem to you for any testing in the landscape. One more thing if you will do any of the above three activity, then Basic guys only rollback the actual situation.
So please be confident before doing this task.

How to Stop at Source System's Abap Code from BI Infopackage Trigger

Hi Experts,
I have enahanced 2 fields to some standard data source, that fields data is comiong fine to RSA3 in Source system.
i am not getting 2 fields data to BI PSA, but that 2 fields data i am getting at in RSA3 Tcode source system.
i have tried all the ways to get data to BI PSA, but no luck.
so, while running infopacke from BI i need to stop at Source System's Abap code where i have wriiten the code for those 2 fields.
so, please any one can explain, how to stop at source system's Abap Code once i trigger infopackage from BI.

How DAC decodes its Source System Parameters into Informatica mappings??

Hi All,
I would like to know about "How DAC decodes its Source System Parameters into Informatica mappings??".
Is it an informatica mapping? or through a file? or its internal to DAC server?
Can we say the DAC server to decode it differently i.e. can we costomize the decode process? For example
$$START_DATE - i gave "Custom Format(1950-05-21 01.23.56) @MM/DD/YYYY" at dac - and it decodes as '05/21/1950' but I want it to decode as TO_DATE('05/21/1950','MM/DD/YYYY') is this possible?
Note that the informatica mapping takes the first decoding '05/21/1950' as number and through a sql error.....
Thanks for your time......
DK

Please set the values of $$FILTER_BY_SET_OF_BOOKS_ID, $$SET_OF_BOOKS_ID_LIST in DAC and check if the values get reflected in the parameter files that DAC generates for informatica at run time.
If this does'nt work, see if the BI services were restarted after doing change in the parameter file. The services need to be restarted in order to reflect the change.

How to delete a source system in BW?

Hello All!
Can anone please inform me about the procedure to delete a source system or inform me in which document i can find this information. Actually i wish to assing my newly installed BW3.5 system to a new logical system (i.e) its currently assigned to some other logical system where it has ME as default source system. to change the logical system we need to delete all the source systems in the old logical syste. So please explaing me how to delete the source system Myself(current BWsystem). there is no data and no data sources existing in the system its abosolutly fresh.
Thanking you for help in advance

How to verify the Source systems connectivity with BWQ System.

Hi All,
I have diff source systems. And my requirement is to check the source systems connectivity with BWQ (BW Quality sys). please any body tell me the steps how to check the source system connectivity ?
Thanks & Regards,
Manju

Hi Manjula,
If you encounter problems when establishing a connection to your target server, check the following:
A message box appears while performing one of the following actions:
      Setting connection by choosing Apply to local session.
      Testing connection settings by choosing Test settings.
      Creating SAP TSQL objects
If errors occurred, they are displayed in the respective message box.
   Check developer trace files in ST11.
Test connection:
     For RFC related errors, check the RFC connection via SM59
     For database multi-connect errors, check if you can connect to the target SQL Server with the SQL Server Query Analyzer. Also check if the DBCON entries are correct.

How to change the source system for just a datasource

Hi,
Our test/development BI system ( BI 7.0 Unicode ) is connected to our development system and to our test system, 1 BI system connected to 2 R/3 systems.
During some time, the test system won't be available so all datasources that point to the test system must be connected to the development system. In RSA1 is not possible to change the source system in a datasource: RSDS 057
'Creation of DataSources for SAP source system D30CLNT007 is not permitted' , same error trying to copy the datasource,.
Any idea about how to proceed ?
Regards,
Joan

Hi,
If I try to repliclate metadata in the datasource, message RSAR 051 appears: 'error when opening an RFC connection'. This error is expected because the logical system pointed in the datasource does not exist.
Is not possible to change the source system in datasource ( in RSA1 ) because the field is always greyed, also if I try to copy the datasource the message RSDS 057 appears.
Any idea about how to proceed ?

Joan

How to Identify the Source System in a Transformation Rule?

Hi,
   In a 3.x system if I needed to identify the source system, the interface had a parameter SOURCE_SYSTEM LIKE RSUPDSIMULH-LOGSYS. I do not see the same in a Transformation Rule. Can anyone tell me how can I make a decision in my transformation rule depending on the Source System?
    Say for instance I want to change the following Update Rule from a 3.x System to a Transformation in BI7:
IF SOURCE_SYSTEM = 'ABC'.
   RESULT = 1.
ELSEIF SOURCE_SYSTEM = 'A11'.
   RESULT = 2.
ELSEIF SOURCE_SYSTEM = 'AZ1'.
   RESULT = 3.
ELSE.
   RESULT = 0.
ENDIF.
Can anyone help? Points will be rewarded.
Regards,
Kazmi.

Hi Siggi,
   But how would I know the Request ID within a transformation ? REQUID is the key of the table rsbkrequest ? The interface of the transformation method has the following parameters:
IMPORTING
    request     type rsrequest
    datapackid type rsdatapid
    SOURCE_FIELDS
   EXPORTING
     RESULT
So all I can be aware of is the Request Name and the Data Packet Number. For instance when I took your approach, I got the Request Name as "DTPR_8E3VKVN0RJPDNXAKMP0PZJ99B" now I cannot look up with this against the key of the table because REQUID is a number field. Now, if I look up against the field "Data Transfer Process ID (DTP)" I do not find any entry in this table.
   Any more info?
Regards,
Thanks.

How to change the Source system from ONE DataSource?

Hi,
I'm trying to change a DataSource's source system (active with dtp and transfer rules), but it's not possible to do it in change mode because the field 'Source Sytem' is not enabled. I know I can use the BDLS transaction but I understand that this is for change all Datasources and I only want to change one of all.
Thanks for your help

Hi Marcel,
As I understand apart from file and web services all other data sources are replicated from underlying source system. BDLS transaction is used to change the source system but in case of system copy activity and it is necessary because the data sources points to old source system.
In your case as I understand you will have to replicate the current data source directly from underlying source system and then build the rest of the flow. May I know how you have got this single data source for which the source system is different?

How to create WebService Source System?

Hi,
I am trying to integrate XI and BI. How do I create a webservice source system? When I create the webservice source system in RSA1, it asks for a logical system name. Do I need to create a RFC destination for this logical system? What other steps should be done here?
Thanks,
Deepthi

Thank you. I am actually referring to step 5 in the below how-to-guide.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40574601-ec97-2910-3cba-a0fdc10f4dce
The step 5 says "create webservice source system". But, it does not give details as to what steps should be taken to actually create this. Anyone, used this approach?
Thanks,

How to change original source system of objects at one time

Hi, experts !
I installed extra devlopment server using system copy of orignal
delveopment system.
We have planed that new objects applied to orginal server after developing
finished on extra devlopement server.
The problem is we can not modify or add old objects for specific
package because orignal source system is different
and I know this is SAP policy.
Of course original source server can be changeed on t-code SE03 or
function module TRINT_TADIR_MODIFY
but it should be applied to every objects. This is big job to BC admin.
Is there any solution to possible it at one time?
Best Regards

You can transport all relevant packages from the old to the new development box including a change of the original system using a special transport request of type "relocation of complete package". Check with your system administrators.

Deletion of data objects from already not existed source system

Hello, Everybody,
In BI 7 i had QASCLNT500 source system and have been created datasource with transformation. Later QASCLNT500 was deleted or changed (i don't know very well) to QASCLNT300, but old datasource with transformation is still in new system. When i try to delete these objects i get a message - "Source system QASCLNT500 does not exist".
Could you give me a suggestion how can i delete that datasourse and transformation?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Arunas Stonys

Hi,
It depends on your requirements whether you have to keep the history or not.
If you delete the data from your info providers, you have to reload everything from scratch.
If you want to delete the data from all
1. first delete the data in data targets such as cubes, DSO's or ODS then
2. master data
use these programs to delete from se38
-> rsdrd_delete_facts - for Cubes and DSO or ODS
-> rsdmd_del_background - for master data in background
-> rsdmd_del_master_data_texts - for master data right away
manage your master data info objetcs after the deletion, if you still find them....
go to se14 and delete individually each and every table such as attributes, texts, sids, hierarchy.
hope it helps you better.
But I dont recommend you to delete try to load full repair options for all yur loads
