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.
with regards

How to Delete a Source System from BW System

Dear All,
I have a request to delete a UDC based source system from a BW system. Can you please let me know the steps to be followed to delete a UDC source system.
It would be helpful if you provide steps to delete a SAP Source system also from a BW system.
If there are any such documents for both the cases, please provide me the link.
Thanks to all.

Hi,
      Go to RSA1 T-code
      Click on source System on Left window
      select the Source System
      right click on it and Delete.
      click yes if you want to delete the PSA table as well

How to delete old source system assignment and assign new source system.

Hi Experts,
I have bunch of datasource which are pointing to source system A (when I see it in RSA1). Recently all the datasources which are in source system A has been moved to source system B.
Now I have replicated all the datasources from the source system B. But in RSA1, still I am seeing the datasources which are pointing to sourcesytem A. I want this to be pointed to source system B.
Is there a way to do this?. I have searched in forum and found that this ned to be done manually. Do i need to do it for all the datflows? Is there any thing we can do when running BDLS?.
Please let me know if you need more inputs.
Thanks a lot for you suggessions. Eagerly waiting for valuable suggessions.
Thanks and Regards,
Saravanan Payani.

Hi Anindya,
Thanks for your quick reply. I want to keep the data what ever there in the cube as of now. From now on I want to extract data from new source system.
Basis team ran the BDLS but i don't see any changes. Still my datasources are pointing to OLD source system.
Background : I have an infocube for which the datasourec is ZCRM_MKT_001, which is available at source system IRDCLNT001. Now the above datasource has been moved to new source system IRXCLNT001. As my datasource is moved to new source system, I want the data from the new source system.
My issue : But when i expand the data flow of the infocube in RSA1to the lowest node, against the datasource i can still see the source system as IRDCLNT001 (which is old) under 'Object Information' column. I want this to be pointed to my new source system that is IRXCLNT001.
Is there any way to arrive at this?.
Thanks for your time on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Saravanan Payani.

Deleting a Source System in BW Prod

Hi Guys,
I am trying to delete the assignment of R/3 Production as a Source system in BW Prod but the system is not letting me- informing that:
Package ZBWD does not exist- choos display object or cancel.
The reason I am doing this is at present the source system is assigned to Infoobject 0WBS_ELEMT but I want to assign the 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR & 0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT datasources to the 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR & 0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT InfoSources. I would like to un-assign this datasource from 0WBS_ELEMT and assign to the InfoSources stated above.
I am trying to bring in WBS Element master data but found in Dev when I bring it in through the infoSources it is available in BW but through the 0WBS_ELEMT infoObject there is no data in the masterdata tables.
How can I delete this source system assignment in BW Prod?
Thanks
Depesh

hi Depesh,
i think system won't let you delete source system assignment in prod if it's closed for modification
(transaction scc4), if you really need to do this directly in prod, please ask basis open awhile,
have you tried delete the source system assignment in dev and transport to prod ?
regarding package zbwd not exist, check in prod if package zbwd exist,
transaction se80, choose 'package', type in zbwd,
it will display the package or ask to create new if not exist. transport package zbwd from bw dev if it's not exist in prod.
hope this helps.

Refresh of BW System without deleting the source system

Hello experts
I want to know, is it possible to refresh BW system without deleting the source system.
That means I just do the renaming via BDLS and reconnect.
If I do so, do I have a post refresh activities.
According to OSS note 886102 and 184447, there are 3 scenarios:
Scenario A: You want to copy the entire system infrastructure connected by the BW source system connections (that means the entire system group).
Scenario B: You want to copy a single BW system of the group, the sourcesystem is not copied.
Scenario C: You want to replace a single sourcesystem of a BW-system with another system using a database or client copy (Example: Refresh of the OLTP consolidation system by a copy of the OLTP production system). The BW system is not copied
Assuming I use Scenario A, can I refresh BW system without deleting the source system.

Hi:
The primary source of information is the how to paper on this topic:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bff13df2-0c01-0010-6ba7-bc50346a6fd8
YOu are correct, you can refreh the BI system without deleting the source system.
Thanks for any points you assign (after all, I wrote the paper!).

Initialization cannot be deleted in source system

Hi All,
   While doing an Init Load for the first time, the load failed sinc there was a dump in the source R3 system.
   Then I corrected the error (a CMOD coding error) in R3 and tested it in RSA3. The simulation worked fine.
   Now I am trying to do a second INIT for which I need to delete the first failed INIT (from Scheduler->Initialization options for this source->Delete).
    It says "<b>Initialization for Data Source 0CA_TS_IS_1 Can Not Be Deleted in Source System...There was a dump in source system...Check the short dumps in the source system (/nst22 and /nsm21)...</b>."
   Please suggest how to correct this.
   Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Vishno

Anil,
Firstly thanks for ur reply.
As per your suggestions:
1. I made it red and tried to delete from the Info pkg screen but it didnt allow.
2. Then I tried to delete from RSA7. It dumped.
3. So I deleted the two entries in two tables ROOSPRMSC & RSSDLINIT
in R3 and .
4. I recreated, replicated the Datasource.
5. But now on trying to open a Info Pkg its dumping (Message type X). It also doesnt allow to create one.
Our BW DEV box is BW 700 Level 010 SupPack KW70010
I tried OSS notes 852443, 888677 and 872278 but didnt allow me to implement.
Please suggest.
Thanks

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.

Deleting a Source System Connection

Hi all,
We made some updates to a QA source system and when we try to do a 'activate and replicate datasources', errors are being thrown out. So, we decided to delete the connection and recreate the connection. I have a few questions:
1) If I right click on the source system in BI and click delete, it is prompting for a transport request to delete transfer structures. What are the steps to follow in deleting the source system? How will I be able to rebuild the transfer structures?
2) I deleted a couple of transfer structures. Can I roll it back? If yes, how
Greatly appreciate your help.
Anita.

instead try to trouble shoot the issue with the source system creation.
i don't beileve you can easily recover a deleted transfer str / rule without recovering from a backup or transporting it again from dev, once the sourcesystem issue is resolved
i believe this source system definition has been there for a while therefore just deleting it outright is not recommended for a lot of reasons,,,,,,,

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.

Deletion of source system after an upgrade : consequences ?

Hello,
I'm a sap basis guy.
We have a SAP BI 701 sytem mapped to our 4.7 Non Unicode source system.
I have now perfromed the unicode migration and upgrade to ECC6 of the source system on another server.
It means now, that I have two sourtce systems with exactly the same SID, and logical name.
Sicne the BI connexion in RSA1, is based on the logical system name , I have no ther choice than delete the old
source system, and recreate it with the same logical name but different connexion parameters (hosts, ...) and differentversion (
I have talked with the BI team, but thnigs are quite unclear about the consequences of deleting a source system in RSA :
Do all Transformations/ Transfer Rules between DataSources and targets are deleted ?
Does it mean that they have to be manually recreated after the new source system has been recreated ?
Is there any workaround ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards.

Hello,
If you do not save the source system dependent objects to a transport request before you delete the connection then the objects will be lost , you can avoid this by saving the objects to a transport request and then release the transport before you delete the connection and import it in the new system, the steps in general are below:
RSA1
Transport Connection
Button 'Collection mode' set to 'start manual collection'
Press 'Source system assignment' button (it's the one left of the
'Request BEx' button)
Select the source systems you want to save the transfer rules for
Continue
Button 'Grouping' set to 'Save for system copy'
At the left border click on 'Object Types'
Extend tree 'Source system' LSYS
Double click on 'Select objects'
Select the source systems you want to collect objects for
the source system is now displayed in the right box
Press collecting button ('gather dependent objects')
this may take a while
Right click on the root of the tree and select
Transport all below
Expand the whole tree and check if there isn't an object which is locked
by an other open transport request !!
(the column 'Transport request' has to be empty (BEFORE deleting the corresponding source system
connection!)

Deletion of Source system

Hello,
I need help in deleting any links that exist for an old R3 system. We have migrated our source R3 system which was called SP1 to another system called SP2. Now we have datasources, DTP and update rules pertaining to the old system that we would like to delete. I tested out an option to delete the source system in the workbench by clicking under the Source system , choosing the one I wished to delete and right clicking on that and choosing Delete. I got a warning saying that its not possible to delete because the RFC connections are no longer available, which is true. I chose Ignore in the message window that popped up and that led to all the datasources, DTP and infopackages getting deleted. This seems too good to be true that we got rid of all links to the old system . What I am wondering is whether this method causes some other important data to vanish as well. Is there also a better way to delete all links to the old system.
Regards,
Jaya

Hi Jaya
As you said there is no connectivity with the source system, then you are no more using the Datasources from that source system.
Ensure that you are not using the datasources in your regulary used Infosources.
If you are using then they me be set to inactive.
As you said youa re not at all using that source system you can delete that.

Deleting the Source System

Dear Linturi,
believe you trying to delete the current R/3 source system and trying for SAP BI my self source system right?
If yes
We can very well dete the source system
The impact would be in th efollowing ways
You will loose entire datasources,transfer rules and PSA related to that particular source system and it will be Major impcat on you Bi system which is not at all preferable untill unless you are really no more use of the R/3 source system and its configured with any of the bi pass clients.
Coming to BI Myself souce system : Which is purely realted to the DATA MART Loadings and its also a similar like R/3 source system connection you have to give ALEREMOTE passwords and serve ips.
Hope this helps u...

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.
