ICR - Importing Data from Other SAP Systems for Reconcilaition

Dear Ralph and Other Experts,
At my current engagement we need to import data from a subsidiary separate SAP system for reconciliation. There are scenarios where one side of an Interco document is posted in the corporate system and the other half is posted in the subsidiary's system. The posts from the subsidiary are totaled by comp code account and trading part and then posted in the corporate system.
This will make it challenging to run automatic rule assignments because scenarios will arise where one document in the subsidiary needs to be matched to many documents in the corporate system.
I did some searching on changing the DataSource in FBIC008 for certain company codes to file upload or external but cannot find documentation on how to complete the configuration or how this functionality it works. Has anyone used this functionality? Could somebody please explain or link me to a document about using this external or file upload functionality in the ICR system.
Best,
John S

Hi Frank,
Below are my thoughts, these are only conceptual and haven't had an opportunity to try these possibilities, also not sure if this is the right thing.
1) Create an entry in DBCON using TCode: DBCO for the Database of system SAP2. Now in the application of SAP1 use the "SET CONNECTION" construct as the very first statement, so that consecutive SQL statements will point at the DB of SAP2.
2) I have read somewhere that the Work Processes are connected to the Default database and i am not sure if you can change this setting, but if you can and provided you have have multiple application servers in your SAP1 landscape, then pick one of the application servers and change the settings on the WP to point at the DB of SAP2, you have the end users login to this particualr app server.
3) If there are multiple app servers in SAP1 landscape, then choose one of the app servers and change the default database setting to point at DB of SAP2.

Accessing data from other SAP system

Hi experts
I need to access data from one SAP system from other. My requirement is , perform applications (programs) in some SAP system, but using/accessing data from other SAP system .
For example, when we press F4 we get the match code (search help) for the field ; that window is alredy created by SAP and it shows the data for that field . Of course the application (ike any other program/application) read the data from the SAP system is being executing ; well i need execute that match code but show (taking) the data from other SAP system; i not refer to other MANDT in same system but other SAP system.
The communication between SAP1 system and SAP2 system is already created from BASIS.
My doubt is how can i execute that standard application (search help) but 'invoke' to standard application this take data from other system ?
I guess i can create Z search help wich call a Z Function (RFC) to get the data required from the other system ;
or maybe enhance the standar search help to call that Z RFC ; but standard application search help is already created and this access the data in several ways or places of code , and this has severals sub-windows and search features ; and i just need execute exactly same search help but accesing data from the other SAP system ; so my doubt is, is there some way to indicate to SAP the applications always (wherever) these applications acces the data do it but from other SAP system,
like if we 'redirect' the Data Base to other SAP system.
SAP1 applications are being executing -
> but all data (records) are taking from SAP2
Maybe the first suggestion is simply why do not we execute applications in SAP2 instead SAP1 , that's because the version package in SAP2 system (where we have the data) does not support some (non SAP) applications we need to use.
Excuse the long thread. Does somebody can help, any idea ?
Best Regards
Frank

Migrate Closed Sales Data from one SAP system to Other

Hi,
We have a requirement to migrate Closed Sales Order data from one SAP System to the New SAP system.
Please share your thoughts on the considerations / DOs and Donts for such cases.
Appreciate your response.
Kind Regards,
Tanuji

Hi,
If you want to migrate closed SOs..then first consider why? and from what date i.e how long back?
Following are the considerations:
1) You can't get the creation date same as your previous system dates--this might lead to incorrect reporting. So you'll have to check if its really worth?
2) You might want to have a reference no somewhere in the new transactions from the previous system.
3) If you want to migrate the deliveries, invoices then you've to consider also GL migration as well as payments.

Migrate PY and TM cluster data from One SAP System to another

Hi Experts,
Could you please suggest me some options to migrate PY and TM cluster data from One SAP System to another? My requirement is to move all the cluster data (Active and Inactive ees).
I see that PU12 is an option. Anybody used that to migrate between SAP systems. Please provide some details
Points guaranteed
I see that using PU12 you can export only PCL2 Clutsers. Are there any ways to move the other clusters like PCL4 ?

Hi,
As far as data transfer, If have all normal configuration settings in your targeted system you can use LSMW (Use T.code AS91 in LSMW for recording) to transfer your data in your both cases.
Hope it resolves your both the issues.

CRM_Order_maintain not wortking from other SAP system

Hi ,
we need to change the msg partner for a support desk msg from webdynpro application.for that we are creating a custom RFC function module, Contains the below coding ,
CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN
CRM_ORDER_SAVE
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
It is successfully changing the business partner ( msg processor ) in the support desk msg . But if we call this function module from webdynpro it is not creating as such.
what could be the reason .
____________ we checked the following
1. we called the RFC from other SAP system . it is not working .
2. we debugged that RFC from R/3 , we found the difference. For the below functional module is not returning any events from R/3 . whereas if we run the FM from solution manager it is exporting events .
CRM_EVENT_PASS_INFO_EXE_OW

Hi,
Did you solve this issue?? if you do? how you do it?
thanks in advanced.

Importing data from other system - cvs files

hi
What is the best way to import 3 cvs files from other accounting system
The 3 files contains data about customers and few more custom fields that I need to create in Business one
(more information about the cusomter)
I need to import the files every day
Thank you

Hi Ofer,
I read you need to do this import every day. With the DTW you have to do this manually(?).
Another (however expensive) option is to use iBOLT from <a href="http://www.magicsoftware.com">Magic Software</a>.
We also have a customer wich get's every day a few .csv files by email. iBOLT does get the .csv from the mailbox, does some preperation and imports the data into SBO. No user interaction required.
Kind regards,
Rowdy

2. ASSIGN CLIENTS TO LS - S1_800 TO 800
3.     DEFINE TARGET RFC DESTINATIONS -
    3.1.   TCP/IP Connection -          RFC DEST NAME -WM_800

Uploading data from non sap system to sap system

hi to all experts,
my requirement is to upload data into the sap system from non sap system . the data is in a flat file ,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system. How to upload the data into sap system ....

hi,
the data is in a flat file,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system.
If the data is in excel sheet use this FM.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME                      = P_FILE
      I_BEGIN_COL                   = 1
      I_BEGIN_ROW                   = 1
      I_END_COL                     = 17
      I_END_ROW                     = 3000
    TABLES
      INTERN                        = itab
EXCEPTIONS
INCONSISTENT_PARAMETERS       = 1
UPLOAD_OLE                    = 2
OTHERS                        = 3
It will read the data from excel sheet column wise and then store it in ITAB. you can change the order after reading the file.
In case of Text file use FM GUI_UPLOAD.
You can change the order of the fileds after reading it from file, but the length and all you have to make compatible to SAP standard fields.

Sachin

Access data from 2 SAP systems into WebDynpro..Please guide :)

Hello,
Is is possible to access/retrieve data from 2 seperate SAP systems in Web Dynpro?
To ellaborate more:
Under normal situation - We create a Model using which you can access the required BAPI/RFC and using the JCo this connection is complete.
So, in the SLD there is one JCo connection/object for this model.
Now as per my quesry, I want to access data from 2 systems... like CRM & R/3.
So how can I do this:
1. Create 2 seperate model objects and then do Model Context Mapping. If this is rite, then I will have to create 2 JCo connections in SLD.
2. Is is possibe that under one model (example this model is accessing R/3), I need to access data from CRM without creatiing another model. So that are the possiblities? Secondly is this way/path recommended?If no, how should I proceed.
Hope my requirements are clear
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks & Warm Regards,
Ritu

Ritu,
There is no way you can create single model for 2 different R/3 systems (unless SAP decides to implement this in later versions).
If you still want to stick with a single model approach, I would suggest to use Webservice model where the R/3 interaction part would be taken care by WebService.

Pulling/Extracting Data from Multiple SAP Systems - Scripting, ABAP?

Hello All,
I am working as an analyst for a large company that has multiple SAP installations across the world. What I am trying to do is create some global reporting metrics based on data from all of those systems on an ad-hoc basis without having the other units send the data to a central repository. I can receive access to all of the systems but I am unsure how to pull the data. The access to one of the systems I have currently does not allow the use of ABAP or RFC but does allow scripting. If I have a good business case I could ask for ABAP access and RFC as well.
I have researched and read through many posts and articles within the forums but I am yet to find a solution. I have experience in VB, VBA, and MS Access.
Can anyone suggest any ways to move forward?
Thanks!

According to my understanding, you may use vba in your excel or a just vb by programming against rfcsdk(librfc32.dll) or the newly nwrfcsdk, or use jco or nco..., but all these method are based on rfc function call.
You may write a simple abap side data extraction agent, just a function select some table with the data you interest, and then call this function from outside regularly, then you may save the returned table to a csv then bcp to sqlserver(c + batch), or just write to excel sheets(vba).
The simple table read function you may check RFC_READ_TABLE, but it has some limits and are not released. The more functional agent is also can be found from other vendors, eg ms sqlserver2005 kit`s sap adapter...
I do not have idoc or services experience, maybe in that senerio you will find a easier solution.Good luck, you may reach me at <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

Importing Data from an ABAP system - JOB Initial Load - IDM 8.0

Hello all,
I got the error during the execution initial load job:
Value not legal for this attribute:Attribute: MX_USERTYPE" when storing attribute 'MX_USERTYPE=A'
Value not legal for this attribute:Attribute: MX_DATEFORMAT" when storing attribute 'MX_DATEFORMAT=1'
I have executed the job read value help content before start initial load job.
Could anyone explain if this attribute should be created manually in mxi_AttrValueHelp table before run the initial job?
Thanks

Hello Rafael,
There is a possibility that you have encountered a problem that we had with the language translations for the attribute values.
I would like to ask you to check one file content: could you try to open the language translations file: this should be located under ICCORE -> Database Schema -> SQL-Server -> 9-language-data.sql
There is a chance that this file is "broken". If so - we have fixed this specific problem in the Designtime Component patch 2 (now 3 is also available) - so you would need to update to this one.
You could also take a look at the table for the attribute values help - via executing "select * from mxi_attrvaluehelp".
Kind Regards,

Problem in Fetching data using RFC FM from NON SAP system

Hi All,
Need help from experts on data transfer using RFC from a non SAP system/database. I have creasted the destination in sm59.
I have created a function module too which has an import parameter as a query and export parameter as an internal table.
No when i test run this function module it returns some entries. But when I call this FM in a program it throws a dump 'rfc_external_abort' . Here is what the call to FM looks like in my program. Please guide me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Saket.

Hi,
your question..
DATA : lv_query TYPE string,
it_gddbdata TYPE ZC9_TAB_SOLMAN_XI_RFC.
lv_query = 'SELECT * FROM GDDB.VW_GDDB_PERSONS WHERE LASTNAME = ''''A'''''.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_C9_SOLMAN_XI_GDDBCON'
DESTINATION 'D39'
EXPORTING
in_sql_query = lv_query
IMPORTING
ET_GDDB_DATA = it_gddbdata
you are telling that you are fetching the data from non sap system using RFC function module.. how it is possible..you canot fetch the data from non SAP system using RFC FM alone.. you have to use the concept BAPI.. it will work..
I hope this will help you..

Querying Data from 3rd Party System

We would like to query data from a 3rd party (non-SAP) system. Our BW is an MSSQL DB and the 3rd party is also an MSSQL DB. We do not want to physically load the data from the external system we just want to use the BW query tools to display the data.
Is this possible? I thought this is what a Remote Cube would be used for but SAP's instructions on Remote Cubes are vague and confusing.
       1.      In BW, create a source system for the external system that you want to use.
       2.      Define the required InfoObjects.
       3.      Load the master data:
·        Create a master data InfoSource for each characteristic
·        Load texts and attributes
       4.      Define the RemoteCube
       5.      Define the queries based on the RemoteCube

Hi Jon,
SAP RemoteCube is an InfoProvider. This is a special RemoteCube that allows
you to define queries with direct access to transaction data in other SAP systems. SAP RemoteCubes are defined on the basis of an InfoSource with flexible updating, and assume the characteristics and key figures of the InfoSource.
Use/Data Flow
Unlike with other RemoteCubes, it is not necessary to program extractors. The
same extractors are used to select data in the source system that are also used when replicating data into the BW. When executing a query, each navigation step sends a request to the extractors for the assigned source systems. In addition, characteristics selection and selection criteria for these characteristics are transformed to fields in the transfer structure, in accordance with the transfer rules. They are transferred to the extractor in this form. The delivered datasets run through the transfer rules in BW and are filtered once again in the query.
In your case Remote cube can be an option .
Cheers
Raja
