How to load best practices data into CRM4.0 installation

Hi,
We have successfully installed CRM4.0 on a lab system and now would like to install the CRM best practice data into it.
If I refer to the CRM BP help site http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm,
It looks like I need to install at least the following In order to run it properly.
C73: CRM Essential Information
B01: CRM Generation
C71: CRM Connectivity
B09: CRM Replication
C10: CRM Master Data
B08: CRM Cross-Topic Functions
I am not sure where to start and where to end. At the minimum level I need the CRM Sales to start with.
Do we have just one installation CDs or a number of those, Also are those available in the download area of the service.sap.com?
Appreciate the response.

<b>Ofcourse</b> you need to install Best Practices Configuration, or do your own config.
Simply installing CRM 4.0 from the distibutiond CD\DVD will get you a plain vanilla CRM system with no configuration and obviously no data. The Best Practices guide you trhough the process of configuring CRM, and even has automated some tasks. If you use some of the CATT processes of the Best Practices you can even populate data in your new system (BP data, or replace the input files with your own data)
In 12 years of SAP consulting, I have NEVER come across a situation whereby you simply install SAP from the distribution media, and can start using it without ANY configuration.
My advise is to work throught the base configuration modules first, either by importing the BP config/data or following the manual instruction to create the config/data yourself. Next, look at what your usage of CRM is going to be, for example Internet Sales, Service Management, et cetera, and then install the config for this/these modules.

How to load Matrix report data into basic table data using ODI

Hi,
How to load Matrix report data into basic table data using oracle Data Integrator ?
Requirement Description:
Following is the matrix report data:
JOB                       DEPT10                DEPT20
ANALYST                                           6000

JOB                             Dept                        Salary
ANALYST                  DEPT10
ANALYST                  DEPT20                     6000
CLERK                       DEPT10                    1300
CLERK                       DEPT20                    1900
    Thanks for your help in advance. Let me know if any further explanation is required.

Your list seems to be a little restrictive, you can do a lot more with ODI procedures.
If you create new procedure, and add a step. In the 'command on source' tab set you technology and schema as per your source database. Use the unpivot functionality as described in the link, please, rather than using 'SELECT *' use the appropriate column names and alias them for eg:
SELECT job as job,
deptsal as deptsal,
saldesc as saledesc
FROM pivoted_data
UNPIVOT (
deptsal --<-- unpivot_clause
FOR saldesc --<-- unpivot_for_clause
IN (d10_sal, d20_sal, d30_sal, d40_sal) --<-- unpivot_in_clause
Then in your 'command on target' tab set the technology and schema to your target db, then put your INSERT statement for eg:
INSERT INTO job_sales
(job,
deptsal,
saledesc
VALUES
:job,
:deptsal,
:saledesc
Therefore you are using bind variables from source to load data into target.
Obviously if the source and target table are in the same database, then you can have it all in one statement in the 'command on target' as
INSERT INTO job_sales
(job,
deptsal,
saledesc
SELECT job as job,
deptsal as deptsal,
saldesc as saledesc
FROM pivoted_data
UNPIVOT (
deptsal --<-- unpivot_clause
FOR saldesc --<-- unpivot_for_clause
IN (d10_sal, d20_sal, d30_sal, d40_sal) --<-- unpivot_in_clause
also set the log counter as 'Insert' on the tab where your INSERT statement is, so you know how many rows you insert into the table.
Hope this helps.
BUT remember that this feature only came out in Oracle 11g.

OWB11gR2 - simple and easy way to load XML formatted data into db tables?

Hi,
we're currently trying to load table data stored in XML files into our datawarehouse using OWB 11gR2.
However, we're finding this is not quite as trivial as loading flat files...
Most postings on this forum points to the blog-entry title "Leveraging XDB" found here (http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/09/leveraging_xdb.html).
This blog also references the zip-file owb_xml_etl_utils.zip, which seems to have disappeared from it's original location and can now be found on sourceforge.
Anyway, the solution described is for OWB 10g, and when trying to import experts from the zip-file etc. we end up not being able to run the "Create ETL from XSD" expert, as the 11gR2 client is different from the 10g and does not have the Experts menu et.al.
Also, this solution was published over 3 years ago, and it seems rather strange that importing XML-formatted data should still be so cumbersome in the newer warehouse builder releases.
The OWB 11gR2 documentation is very sparse (or rather - quite empty) on how to load XML data, all it has is a few lines on "XML Transformations", giving no clue as to how one goes about loading data.
Is this really the state of things? Or are we missing some vital information here?
We'd have thought that with 11g-releases, loading XML-data would be rather simple, quick and painless?
Is there somewhere besides the blog mentioned above where we can find simple and to the point guidelines for OWB 11gR2 on how to load XML-formatted data into Oracle tables?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Yes it is possible to use SQL*Loader to parse and load XML, but that is not what it was designed for and so is not recommended. You also don't need to register a schema, just to load/store/parse XML in the DB either.
So where does that leave you?
Some options
{thread:id=410714} (see page 2)
{thread:id=1090681}
{thread:id=1070213}
Those talk some about storage options and reading in XML from disk and parsing XML. They should also give you options to consider. Without knowing more about your requirements for the effort, it is difficult to give specific advice. Maybe your 7-8 tables don't exist and so using Object Relational Storage for the XML would be the best solution as you can query/update tables that Oracle creates based off the schema associated to the XML. Maybe an External Table definition works better for reading the XML into the system because this process will happen just once. Maybe using WebDAV makes more sense for loading XML to be parsed (I don't have much experience with this, just know it is possible from what I've read on the forums). Also, your version makes a difference as you have different options available depending upon the version of Oracle.
Hope all that helps as a starter.

How to Load the Master Data for custom defined Z infoobjects?

Hi Gurus,
This is the requirement.
Some screen enhancements has to be made by adding new Custom fields( like two text boxes,eg Name and city ) in such a way if we enter data into that text box,that data value for both of the Enhancements has to be stored in some table.If this data is a master data,then how would I pull this master data into BW.
Please someone throw some light on this problem.
Lets say a Screen is enhanced with NAME and CITY with text text boxes.Let the user enters the value for NAME and CITY.Let them be stored under two different tables ZTAB1 and ZTAB2.How would I load this master data into custom Defined Z infoobjects ZNAME AND ZCITY in BW.
Please help me out.
Thanks is Advance,
Regards

you can by creating generic datasources on thoase tables with Full load or delta.
if the number entries is less.. you can try full load...
if it is more... along with required fields...put date also as one fields. which needs to get date of execution of program or date of uploading to Tables. this will be useful build Delta Mechanism.
all the best.

Hi Abhinav,
Hav you integrated your system with BW system.
If yess then you need to upload all previous sales information from CRM system to BW system.
Secondly, copy all the CRM sales order data residing in an infocube to be replicated to a sales planning sales order infocube of SEM.
This is what is meant by Loading historic sales data into SEM.
To do this you would require a SEM/BW consultant.
You can use a funtion name 'COPY' in BPS-SEM to copy one sales infocube to other.

Best Practice for SAP PI installation to share Data Base server with other

Hi All,
We are going for PI three tire installation but now I need some best practice document for PI installation should share Data base with other Non-SAP Application or not. I never see SAP PI install on Data base server which has other Application sharing. I do not know what is best practice but I am sure sharing data base server with other non-sap application doesnu2019t look good means not clean architecture, so I need some SAP document for best practice to get it approve from management. If somebody has any document link please let me know.
With regards

You should not mix different apps into one database.
If you have a standard database license provided by SAP, then this is not allowed. See these sap notes for details:
[581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=581312]
[105047 - Support for Oracle functions in the SAP environment|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=105047] -> number 23
23. External data in the SAP database
Must be covered by an acquired database license (Note 581312).
Permitted for administration tools and monitoring tools.
In addition, we do not recommend to use an SAP database with non-SAP software, since this constellation has considerable disadvantages

Most efficient way to load XML file data into tables

I have a complex XML file running into MBs. I want to load it's data into 7-8 tables.
Which way will be better:
1) Use SQL Loader to actually load directly into the 7-8 tables directly by modifying the control card.
Is this really possible and feasible? I am not even sure about it
2) Load data as XML Type in a table and register it. Then extract from there to load into various tables.
Please help. I have to find the most efficient way of doing it.

Regarding loading of excel data into oracle database

hello,
Can someone help me in knowing that how can we load excel sheets data into oracle database.
I will be really thankful to you.
Gursimran

Hi,
There is tool given by oracle "Oracle Bulk Loader "
you can use this.
But in order use this you need a control file, which specifies how data should be loaded into the database; and a data file, which specifies what data should be loaded.
Example :- this is the control file which has information how the data is processed.
LOAD DATA
INFILE test.dat
INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
(i, s)
Example :- test.dat which is the data file or say your excel sheet or document
(1, 'foo')
(2, 'bar')
(3, ' baz')
example of Loading :-
sqlldr <yourName> control=<ctlFile> log=<logFile> bad=<badFile>
sqlldr testing control=test.ctl log=test.log

create or replace type instance_type as object

create or replace type variation_type as object

Created a similiar type for assembly.
When I load it, I could only store the first variation data but not the subsequent ones. Similarly for assembly I could only store the first data but not the subsequent ones.
Could anyone let me know how I could store this data into tables? I have also included a sample XML file in this message.

Loading InfoObject master data into Cube

Hi Guys,
I have a question. I created an InfoObject as a data target and loaded data into that data target. I created a cube and I want to include this infoobject in the cube. Now How do I load data into this cube from the InfoObject.Because the InfoObject doesnt have any option to select data targets, since it is master data.
Data is being loaded into the InfoObejct. But when I check the cube there is no data.
How do I load this master data into the cube without update rules?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
i think u need load some value to transaction data so that you can report on it, but how you are going to decide which row will be having which value from master data? in general value for this should come from transactional data, or you could assign some constant value to it.
Do you want to use any attribute of Inoobject in report? And if you have any key value for that coming from Transaction data, you can use rule type as read from master data
It depends upon your requirememt.
Since you want to restrict the values of the cube which are going into the report then you should include this object into the cube.
In any case if you want to restrict the value of the transactional data in the cube with either the value of the objects ot the attributes of object you will have to add this object into the cube.
As you said you can load master data and use in report but how you are going to use it..............you will have to include it in the cube to use it.
Also you can check whether this object is attribute of some other object already in the cube in that case you can make it navigation attribute and then use it for the restrictions in the cube.
In this case only you do need to add it to the cube,But if it not an attribute of any object then you must add it to the cube.
You have to get the value of your infoobject into Cube from datasource, even though you want to use attributes only.
You will have to add it and it wont have any effect the transaction data getting loaded into the cube will be different from the master data only SID's are matched during loading of the data.
You should load separate master data into the 0recontract infoobject with the master data source and make the respective object contract type and contract category as navigation there.
Also you should add 0recontract to the cube and update it from the transaction data source as you have said that it can be updated.
Then just do the normal restrication at the report level
You can make this display attribute as naviagatioonal first in the master data object and then in the cube make this attribute as navigational.
then you can use it to restrict in the cube
You can use Category as InfoObject in your cube, and while loading data for your infoobject in the rule type you can use option as reading from master data. It will take key of infoobject, and will update attribute value in your cube.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/f913426908ca7ee10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can also restrict with attributes value, Just in the restrcition of your infoobject in query designer, slelect left-botton button of 'Dipaly Other Values', here you can select you attribute and its value for restriction as well

Hareesh
