Hi,
I am practicing BI7.I am familiar with BW 3.5 but while practicing BI7 i am facing some problems.I am trying to load master data of an infoobject (STUDENTID) STUDENTID ATTR.
After creating Appl Comp and when i am trying to create transformations for the master data attribute i am unable to assign data source.I came to know that i have to create datsource at this step.But dont know how to create datasource for FlatFiles.
Can anyone give me stpes how to create DataSource.

How to create DataSource for BI Source System in RSA1?

I have a BI Source System defined, however I can't figure out a way to create a new DataSource for it. I can create DataSource objects for all my other Source Systems, but I can't figure out how to do this for this BI system.
I select my BI Source System, right-click, choose "Display DataSource tree". When I right-click from the DataSource tree, I expect to get "Create Application Component" and "Create DataSource" options, but instead I only see "Replicate Tree Metadata" and "Replicate DataSources" options.
How can I create DataSource objects for my BI system?

Hi,
I guess you want to create a custom developed source in BI itself. For that you need to create the data source in RSO2 and inside you need to give the specific aplication component under which you want this DS to be in. Generate a data souce and then go to BI My self Source system and then replicate that particular appl component o view your data source.
Hope this helps

Step 1. Select Source systems under Modelling in the left panel. In the right panel, right-click Source systems and select Createu2026.
Step 2. Select the FileSystem, manual meta data, data using file inte option, and then click to continue.
Step 3. Enter a name and a description for the source system, and then click to create the source system.
Now create an application component
Step 1. Select InfoSources under Modelling in the left panel. In the right panel, right-click InfoSources and select Create application componentu2026.
Step 2. Enter a name and a description for the application component, and then click to continue. (BW automatically adds a prefix of "Z" to the technical names of application components, unlike the naming system used for other BW objects.If u give the name as AC_DEMO it will be saved as ZAC_DEMO in the system.
Now create infosource
Step 1.Select InfoSources under Modelling in the left panel. Right-click the newly created Application Component , and then select Create InfoSourceu2026.
Step 2. Select the option Master data/texts/hierarchies, and then click to continue.
Step 3. Enter your infoobject name, and then click to continue.
Now you will be asked
Infosource(name) assigned to Appln component(name)?
Click continue
Now go back to workbench and see the Infoobject listed under the Application component name (under Infosource)
Right click the infoobject name and select Assign Datasource
Enter the Infoobject name as Infosource name and the source system name and continue
Now you ll get datasource assignment confirmations for Infosource_ATTR and Infosource_TEXT for master data and text.
Click yes and continue
Now you ll be taken to the Infosource(master data) change screen
Source system name will be given
Below that u need to give the datasource name u2026.._ATTR
Click Activate.
Now Click the tab transfer rules
Copy the communication str infoobject names to an excel sheet
For ex if your infoobj are IO_MATNUM and IO_MATNAME (material number and material name) copy and paste as
IO_MATNUM      IO_MATNAME
MAT001     TEA
MAT002     COFFEE
MAT003     SUGAR
GIVE YOUR DATA IN THE EXCEL. AND CLICK File Save As CSV(comma delimited) and save to ur system. Give file name as something like infosourcename_ATTR.csv
Now back to the Infosourcechange screen
Source system name will be given
Below that u need to give the datasource name u2026.._TEXT
And activate
Now Click the tab transfer rules
Copy the communication str infoobject names to an excel sheet
GIVE YOUR DATA IN THE EXCEL. AND CLICK File Save As CSV(comma delimited) and save to ur system. Give file name as something like infosourcename_TEXT.csv
Now create Infoobject to load data
Go to Infosourceu2014Appln Componentu2014InfoObju2014SourceSystemu2014rightclick->create Infopackage
Step 2. Select the DataSource Material number (Master data), enter a description for the InfoPackage, and then click to continue.
Give infopackage description as Infopackage:InfoObj_ATTR
Now take care to select the first item in datasource and click continue
In the next screen click external data tab
Click client workstation
Datafileu2026.file name (browse to give the file u saved in ur system)
There will be an option to remove header data from file.remove 1 row.
File typeu2014csv file
Now click schedule tabu2014start dataload immediatelyu2014start.
In the same way
Go to Infosourceu2014Appln Componentu2014InfoObju2014SourceSystemu2014rightclick->create Infopackage
Step 2. Select the DataSource Material number (text)enter a description for the InfoPackage, and then click to continue.
Give infopackage description as Infopackage:InfoObj_TEXT
Now take care to select the second item in datasource and click continue
In the next screen click external data tab
Click client workstation

Message "Creation of DataSources for SAP source system is not permitted"

Hi,
I am in DW Workbench: Modeling and I need to copy a DataSource.
It's impossible, beacause I have this Message "Creation of DataSources for SAP source system is not permitted"!
What can I do?
Thks

Hii.
You can not copy the standard datasource to any other source system it will not allow you to do that.
But if you want to copy you can copy it to PC FILE source system.
It will allow you to copy there.
Right click in Datasource->Copy-> Give Target datasource name -
> intarget Source system tab -
>Give Source system for File.
Thanks

How to Create an R/3 source system and load data from there

Hello All,
Till now I have only worked with Flat files. I want to create an R/3 source system and extract data from there on to my Info Providers.
Does anyone has detailed steps for that. I am using BW 3.5 system
Thanks n Regards,
Abhishek

1. Type Transaction WE30. Check iDoc types
2. Type Transaction SM59. Maintain RFC destinations
a.) Open the RFC Destinations. b.) Find your Source System and double click on it. c.) Technical setting should contain information regarding yoursource system d.) Logon Information should contain source system client and name & password for you remote logon. We use RFC_SAB for BW logon to R/3 and RFC_AAE for R/3 logon to BW. Password for both is always xxxxxxx. e.) Execute your 'Test Connection' & 'Remote Logon'. You should NOT be prompted for a password, if you are then the logon info is incorrect. f.) Repeat above to verify RFCs for other systems (CRM etc)
3. Type Transaction WE21. iDoc Processing Ports.
a.) Select 'Ports' and then 'Transactional RFC'. b.) Click on the Port # for you source system. c.) Verify description & SAP R/3 version.(BW 2.1C should be release 4.x) d.) RFC Destination should be one created in SM59. If non-existent then create one
4. Type Transaction SE16. Data browser (for R/3  BW Connections)
5. Type Transaction SM30. Msg Types & Assignment to iDocs
Enter 'EDIMSG' in the Table/View field. Click on the 'Enter Conditions' option for Restrict Data Range. Click 'Maintain'. Select Message Type. Then enter 'RSSEND' in "From' field. Verify that the Basic Type matches what is in your RSBASIDOCtable for each of your connections. If any are missing any entries you must create them as follows: Create another session and type Transaction WE30. Enter IDoc Type (ZSBAXXX) in Obj. Name field (Suggestion: Start new type with 'ZS' + Transfer Structure Prefix + (3)#'s) Select Create. Select "Create from Copy'. Enter 'RSSEND" in 'Copy From' field Enter Description (i.e. IDoc Type for BW Development) Execute (Green Check). Repeat for other missingentries.
6. Go to the SM30 main screen. Clients Overview
Enter 'T000' in the Table/View field. Click 'Maintain'. Verify correct Client and Description. If incorrect enter.
8. On BW Type Transaction WE20. Partner Profiles
9. On R/3 Type Transaction WE20. Partner Profiles
10. Check all is correct

How to create datasource for standalone application using JPA

In the persistence.xml configuration file, we have data source got it from web server configuration file, and created by server like Jboss or tomcat.
I just wonder how to create this same data source via Java stand-alone application?
I have Java standalone application embedded Jetty server running with JPA module. Question is how to setup or create data source from my Java application just like web server; which called by persistence.xml?
Thanks,

Hello,
Sharepoint deployment is completely different. I don't think you can deploy any solution as wizard in prod so you have to first identify what you want to deploy.
If you just want to deploy only web application then backup/restore process is available in sharepoint. you can use STSADM or powershell to deploy your web app.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748618%28v=office.14%29.aspx
If there is any custom code or .NET code then create a WSP package and deploy it on prod. If you have multiple WSP's then create a batch file (as exe package) then run this package on prod.

Question about Creating DataSources for FlatFile Data Acquisition

Hello eveyone,
I am trying to create flatfile datasources. I've been checking out the existing ds in my dev system and there are some infrastructure here that have loaded data in them, all via their won flatfile DS. I've been looking at the DS and am trying to figure out logic in which they are defined. I saw that most of the fields are defined in CHAR even if they pertain to fields like quantity, Amount and so on... They are also in the Internal format. Yet they have been successfully loaded...
My question is: what are the rules of thumb in defining the DS? How do i go about in mapping the fields to objects in the system? Can anyone please give me the step-by-step scenario as to how to do this please?
Many thanks,
Philips

Hi Philip,
Pls. try the following steps ..may be helpful.
1. when ever you want to create a flat file structure..keep in mind that, what are
    fields data available in your file. second thing is you need to know the IO of
    the info provider in which you are uploading.
2. simply create your own DS with PC File, and other hand open up your infprovider, and keep on check with your flat file what is the sequence of the data
fields and what are they corresponds to in the cube/ODS
3. As your flat file sequence, keep on identify the related IO of your provider and
copy it individual and paste it in your infosouce one by one as sequence of your
flat file..
4. No need to think of what type of data it is and how it is..
5. simply copy all your correponding IO (what ever of their type) even including
    some of the ref. IO.
6. And finally save and activate your DS creation.
I hope it would help in creating your own Flat File DS.
Need further info revert...
Cheers,
Thanks=Points.

Hello,
You need to setup an ABAP communication client and system, that's done through the TMS settings:
For source system:
- CTC                                              1
- CTS_SYSTEM_TYPE                          JAVA (others for a MDM system)
- NON_ABAP_SYSTEM                          1
- COMMUNICATION_SYSTEM:              (SAPSID of the ABAP communication system (e.g. the domain controller))
- NON_ABAP_WBO_CLIENT                    (Client of the ABAP stack on which the Transport Organizer Web UI (CTS_BROWSER) is activated and will run.)
- WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY                 TAGGED
- WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY                 MANUAL
For quality and production Java system (target systems):
- CTC                                              1
- CTS_SYSTEM_TYPE                          JAVA (others for a MDM system)
- NON_ABAP_SYSTEM                         1
- COMMUNICATION_SYSTEM:                 (SAPSID of the ABAP communication system (e.g. the domain controller))
- DEPLOY_WEB_SERVICE                       CTSDEPLOY
- DEPLOY_DATA_SHARE:
When this is done correctly, you will see the fields ABAP communication system and client populated in SMSY.
When ChaRM needs to operate on the non ABAP systems, it will take the RFCs for the communication system and client.

Datasource Creation for Informatica Source system in NW2004s

Hi,
We are upgrading BW 3.5 to SAP NW2004s. In NW2004s Create datasource
is new feature provided in BW 7.0.
I tried to create this datasource for Flat file and worked fine. We
are also using Informatica as source system (External System).
Whenever I tried to create datasource for External system such as
Informatica, it gives message
"Datasource ZTEST(INFPCPD):Object Type RSDS not supported in BAPI
Source System"
Is it a bug? or Creation of datasource is not supported incase of
Informatica or external system?
Thanks
Rupesh

Hi Rupesh,
The latest BI release in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) includes a new type of DataSource for which staging BAPI has not yet been aligned.
Third party ETL tool vendors can therefore only implement their load processes using the original type of DataSource from BW 3.x. This DataSource is still provided in the new release without any changes. Upgrading to NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI (BI 7.0) does not therefore endanger existing implementations based on BW 3.x and NetWeaver 2004 (BW 3.5).
It is also possible to migrate third party ETL implementations based on BW 3.x into the new data-flow concept of a NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI environment using new DataSources, transformations (also new), and data transfer processes (DTP) (also new). This is possible because the system provides an emulated view for BW 3.x DataSources, which makes it possible to combine them with NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) transformations and DTPs for regular batch load processing (this does not include direct access and real-time data acquisition (RDA)).
This allows the benefits of the new data loading concept to be made available in such third party ETL-based loading scenarios.

Anil

BI Content transfer to Flatfile Source System

Hi
How can we transfer standard business content for source system file. We are not able to view some standard contents ( both BW 3.x or BI 7.0) eg. 0CONSUMER_ATTR to activate from the business content. The same is available for R3 Source System but not for the source system as a flat file. But some datasources for eg. 2LIS_13_VDITM can be viewed in the standard business content and can be installed and activated , no luck for 0CONSUMER_ATTR datasource. Any one has idea how to transfer missing contents for a source system file.?
Edited by: Reshoi R on Jul 23, 2011 12:40 PM

Hi
Solved ourselves. We already had one flat file data source. The problem was that we were not able to install the 3.x datasource for 0CONSUMER with the existing file DS because it was showing that 0CONSUMER_ATTR already exists in D version. What we did is to create another Source system for file and then installed the above mentioned DS.
Thanks for your reply anyway

How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI

Hi,
I just read "How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI". While I'm waiting for more authorisation to r/3 to carry it out and test this functionality.
I'd like to ask a question to anyone who has implemented this type solution. On page 10 it talks about creating a view then setting up the datasource. The solution talks about runnig a query. I suspect when we run a query I would run it for only a period(using variable) to reconcile.
My question is this. Will the datasource extractor on /r3 only select the period in our variable or will it do a full selection of the data which would then be passed to BW for filtering?
Regards

DEar Mark,
There are several avenues where you can see and reconcile your data with source system, u can see data in by tcode RSA3 for a datasource, and compare the values with actual document posted into the R/3 system. Respective fuctional consultant canhelp you a lot to confirm the data.
On BW side u can see the data in PSA and then check tranformations which subsequent change/update/reject data records based on the selective conditions.
hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it works.
Revert back if u need futher help/information.
