How to change a source system

Hello,
we have just copied our BW productive system on the consolidation system. With this copy on the consolidation system now exist the source system to our productive R/3 system.
I would like to connect the bw consolidation systen with the R/3 consolidation system.
Does anybody now a possibility to switch the existing source system "R/3 productive" to "R/3 consolidation".
All source system related objects (infopackages and so on) should be switched to the new source system too.
Thanks
Frank

Hi,
Roberto's answer is correct but it is making the assumption that all the DataSources in R/3 production are the same in R/3 QA.
Once you have done the BDLS in BW for the source system technical name, you will have to do a source system check and restore. This will check the idoc and low level communication settings.
As Roberto states, SAP note 325525 is the best source of information.
Finally, you will have to deal with the data differences. Your data in R/3 QA will not be the same in R/3 PRD. This is a manual process.
Cheers,
Mike.

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 ?

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 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.

How to change the source system

Dear Experts,
I have Ecc1 as one of my source systems to BW Quality.Now the client wants to stop the present source system and wants to get the data from new source system i.e. Ecc2. To divert the present flow to new flow.I have looked the previous post regarding the same but are not clear to me. could some one let me understand steps to look into.
Thanks Regards,
Mannu

you need to maintain RFC to the new source system
delete old source system
create source system connection from RSA1
Run BDLS to point the data sources to new source system. This should be run on both BW and ECC.

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
with regards
Ashwin Kumar Gadi

Hello Roberto!
Thanks for ur response. But there bo such delete option available under the context menu for the source system for the Myself source(current BW). only change buton appears but when we click that it say changes are no posible. Is the any other way to delete it manually.

Change the source system

Hello
In our Quality Box , I need to change the source system connection (from QR1 to QR2). I created the new connection successfully. Now the issue is all the Transfer structure still using OLD connection ( i.e QR1) . I run BDLS and it did not word. How can I re-assign the new source system (QR1) to all of my Transfer structures in one go. Is there any report ?
Farooq

Hello,
You cant directly convert the existing objects for a source system to the new source system.
For that you need to do a transport of the objects to the QA box while maintaining the entry in BDLS to convert to the new source system.

Change of Source system in Data Source

Hi all,
Our development system is a copy of another BI system. now the development system is connected to different source system. since it is a copy, all data sources are pointing to previous source system.
How can I change this data source point to new source system.
With regards,
Bala

Hi Bala,
As u know the DATASOURCE is SOURCE dependent.so the solution when you connect your developement system with another system ,while transporting the datasource you have to change your source system name also according to your BW boxes
I will give an ex:
suppose u have 3 system in your BI architecture,
BW : Regression ---> PREPROD -
> PROD
SOURCE : S1 ---> S2 -
> S3
SO When we transport the BW datasource.....,while transport we have to change the source system accordingly.
I hope i helped answering your question

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.

Hi,
which data source on your working?
master data or transaction data
enter the TCODE- CMOD
choose the project
select the funciton exit - EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 - Transaction data
                                    EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002 - master data attr
                                    EXIT_SAPLRSAP_003 - mster data text
                                    EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 - master data hier.
choose the include program - ZXRSAU01.
go to source code tab -> go to change mode -> find the code will start form here
EX- : when " ZLIS_13_VDITM
if not required don't put break-point .
just comment it code.

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.

Changing the source system in QA

Hello All,
I just wanted a quick opinion from your experience on the following issue:
We have a ECC Dev client 20 connected to BI Dev client 20
Similarly we have ECC QA 120 connected to BI QA 120
But due to some reason we now want to connect a new ECC QA client 150 to BI QA 120 and take out ECC QA 120 totally(120 is wiped off).
I already have a lot of development transported to BI QA where the source system is ECC 120. Now if 120 dies and we pull the data from 150, what are the pitfalls to watch for?
Like all my Master data objects , DSO and Cubes still point to ECC QA client 120 but now the "actual" source system is going to be ECC QA 150.
Points,
Gaurav

You need to replicate all the data sources in BI from QA 150 and change the source system assignment to 150 instead of 120.
Also, you need to reinitilase delta for delta enabled extractors.
Two things to watch out:
1. If you dont have source system identifier, then if you happen to get records with same key, then it will overwrite. This applies to both master and transaction data.
2. For transaction data that is not delta enables, there may be a possibiltiy with which the records will get duplicated. So, better to delete the old requests before reload the data from QA150.

How to replace a source system with another in BW

Hello experts,
I've read many topics dealing with my customer's need, but I still can't find the solution.
My landscape is the following one :
ECC6 with DEV, QUAL and PROD
BW with DEV and PROD
BW DEV source system is ECC6 DEV, I need to change it to ECC6 QUAL
A lot of work has already been done, and I'd like not to lose it changing the source system.
Datasources are the same in ECC6 DEV and QUAL.
This is not a system or a client copy, it is really a source system switch.
The new source system is already created (both DEV and QUAL ECC6 are available in "source systems" in RSA1), and I tried to use BDLS tcode
In the "old logical system name" I choose my current source system and in "new logical system name" I choose the one I now need to use.
System answer is : "The logical system name ECC6 QUAL already exists"
Obviously I did something wrong, but can't figure what.
Is there any action to perform before BDLS ?
Any help is appreciated, and points will be given.
Guillaume P.

Thanks for your answer,
"relevant object" means for you datasources, transfer rules and transformations ?
With the grouping option "Save for system copy" I can't take easily all datasources, and others objects
Will I have to pick all object one by one ?
What would be the adjustement in table RSLOGSYSMAP ? For the moment it's empty.
Regards
Guillaume P.

How to change data source name and context root during deployment

Hi,
Env:
WLS 10.1.3
JDev 11.1.1.6
Hudson
I need to deploy two instances of my ADF application on the same development enviroment. We are using Hudson to deploy. My question is how to change data source name and application context root before second deployment.
Kuba

I don't believe there is an inbuilt facility to do this.
Previously how I've done this is when checking files out using Hudson jovs, before the build I then use an Ant extension called XmlTask (http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/) to modify the required XML files.
Can I ask why you're doing this in the first place please? Multi-tenancy? 2 versions of the same app?

How to change the source level in java Studio creator

Hi,
I am using Sun Java Studio Creator 2 Update 1 IDE, in this IDE how to change the source level to 1.5 for an existing project.
Thanks in advance,
Rajesh.

Hi!
Unfortunately Sun Java Studio Creator 2 Update 1 doesn't support 1.5 source level. But You can try to download NetBeans IDE (from http://www.netbeans.org) and there with Visual Web project You will find the same functionality as for Creator. And 1.5 source level is supported by NetBeans.
