  • SolMan BW Setup: Install Datasource not working - no datasources displayed

    Hi there,
    I am busy with new SolMan EHP1 SPS6 implementation and doing the Basic Settings > BW Setup in the IMG. The SolMan and BW client is the same (all on SolMan client 700), and I have done the General Settings. Moving to the BW-Based EWA Reporting section > Install Datasource from Business Content I initially got the default BW datasources listed (0SM_SMG_ROOT was not there), so I ran RSA9 to fill the components. Now 0SM_SMG_ROOT is there with 0SM_SMG under it, but there are no datasources beneath it. I have gone to RSA1 numerous times and Activated and Replicated the Source System, but the datasources are still not there.
    How can I get them? Anything I did wrong?

    Hello Bernardt Nel - Priv
    Sorry, but I didn't understand why you're using SPRO => SAP REFERENCE IMG => Basic Settings to perform this configuration if SOLMAN_SETUP execute this configuration correctly without problems.
    Did you activate the BI Content using SOLMAN_SETUP ?
    In step 7 of Basic Configuration of SOLMAN_SETUP there's an activity that activate the BI Content automatically.

  • How to install datasource from R/3

    Hii All,
    Actually i m kind of new to BW.
    we want to use one data source from R/3.Can anybody tell me how to recognize which is the correct datasource  and its related infosource in BW.
    we replicated the datasource from the source system(R/3).
    but i am still not able to see all the data source from R/3. I know i am missing something.
    Pls help.
    Regards,
    Viren.

    Hi,
      Try locating the new datasources in BW by RSA1->Modeling-> Source Systems-> Select your R3 system -> Right Click-> DataSource Overview -> Use "find" ( binocular) to find your datasource that you transferred from R3.
    Hope this helps...
    You may assign points if this was helpful ***
    Will post more on how to identify the right datasource ***

  • Installation of Datasource from Business content

    Hi Friends,
    While Installing Datasource from Business content in SAP R/3 encounter with following error message. Can some one guide me how to transfer the hierarchy with Business Content. Appreciate your help in resolving this problem.
    Application component FI-GL of DataSource 0FI_TX_4 does not exist
    Message no. R8418
    Diagnosis
    You tried to assign a DataSource to the application component FI-GL. This application component is, however, not entered in the RODSAPPL table as an application component.
    System Response
    The DataSource is saved, but is not visible in BW under the node NODESNOTCONNECTED.
    Procedure
    You do not have the option yet to transfer the application component hierarchy from the Content.
    You transfer the hierarchy with Business Content.
    Thanks & Best regards
    Pravin

    Sorry if a year has gone by.
    This is because you  didn't heve the Application Component Hierarchy installed in BW itself.  Use rsa6 to do this, in the BW system (not the other source system.  Be careful if you have already somehting there, because it will override the hierarchy with the Business Content hierarchy.
    If you need to transport the active hierarchy, and not reinstall all the Business Content Datasources, the object is :
    R3TR DSAA APCO_MERGED
    So, create a workbench transport, and add the above object.

  • Is it a must to migrate 3.x DataSources

    Hi,
    We have BI 7.0 newly installed, DataSource activated from Business Contents are in 3.X version (e.g. 2LIS_11_VAHDR).
    What is the best practice to these 3.x DataSources from Business Content? Is it recommended to migrate them to newer version?
    I read some comments that there are risks do to the migration (e.g., transfer/update rules gone missing/not properly migrated) and it will not be supported by SAP after migration.  Is this true?
    I believe these 3.x DataSources from Business Contents are quite matured by now.  By doing migration, manual conversion of transfer & update rules to transformation rules may be necessary, and this can significantly increase the development time and additional testing (for something already working in older version) is required.
    For new DataSources to be develped, we will definitely follow the new method.

    "I read some comments that there are risks do to the migration (e.g., transfer/update rules gone missing/not properly migrated) and it will not be supported by SAP after migration. Is this true?"
    Yes the update and transfer rules will be deleted although you can do back up  and later recover them.
    "We have BI 7.0 newly installed, DataSource activated from Business Contents are in 3.X version (e.g. 2LIS_11_VAHDR).
    What is the best practice to these 3.x DataSources from Business Content? Is it recommended to migrate them to newer version?"
    It all depends on when you want to migrate. You could wait until the SAP delivers all the reqd business content for transformations etc but there is no exact timeframe on when that will be happening. Only thing is you will be missing the new 7.0 features.

  • Component Hierarchy RSA9 and DataSources RSA5

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm a little confused about configuration of source system...
    In development ERP I have activated Component Hierarchy using RSA9 and also installed Business Content Extractors - RSA5 - All works fine.
    But Now I want to transfer this settings to the Quality Assurance ERP system and I do not know how... ?
    When transferring component hierarchy and installing datasource in dev system didn't ask me about transport request, I did not defined any requests for this operations... how can I transfer now all this settings to the other QA system??
    Looking forward for reply.
    I don't hesitate adding points

    I called the RSA9 again  - system asked "Transfer Component Hierarchy" i clicked "YES" and message appeared "The application component hierarchy was transferred from the Content". There was no chance to defined transport request.
    I rsa6 i have choosen exactly one datasource and then the button "Object directory". Window appeared with the package name and I pushed the button "Save" and also no chance to define TR. The window just disapeared

  • Datasources in RSA5 & RSA6

    Hi 
    RSA5 & RSA6
    RSA5 is the place where are the Business Content (SAP Delivered) Data sources are available
    RSA6 is the Place where all the Activated Business Content, Enhanced & Generic Data Sources are available
    My understanding is If we Install and Activate a Business Content data sources then it will be available in RSA6u2026..
    I had a data source in RSA6 which is enhanced to include ZZ fieldsu2026
    But when I check the same data source in  RSA5 there also I can see the ZZ fields in the extract structure of the Data source
    Why is it appearing in RSA6 as well
    Thanks

    Thanks for all updates
    So if i enhance the delivery content data source after activation in RSA6.....
    The Changes (Enhancement) made to the extract structure in RSA6 will be repliacted to the content version (rsa5) as well
    But in our system when i checked the enhanced content version data source for a particular ZZ field in extract structure
    The settings in Data source Selection option is checked and HIDE option is unchecked
    But when i check the same data source in RSA5 the HIDE option is checked
    and also
    What happens if i reinstall/reactivate the data source in RSA5 again.....
    As the extractstructure is already enhanced with ZZ fields my newly installed Datasource (rsa6) will avaliable with ZZ fields or
    SAp Delivered content will be installed
    Thanks

  • What are the steps to be carried out for  installing 0cca_cc1 - business

    Hi All,
    what are the steps to be done for 0cca_cc1 for installation of business content and then how is the data extracted from r/3?
      - how to install nor use the standard queries and there are 2 update rules how to activate them too? for 0cca_cc1.
    Pls let me know the url for standard datasource for 0cca_cc1
    Thanks
    Pooja

    Goto source system (e.g. R/3). Execute RSA5 transaction.CLick on SAP and press + symbol on the top. then press find to get your datasource. press activate datasource. This will activate your datasource. In RSA6 you will get the activated datasource.
    Then in BI side you replicate your datasources and the installed datasource will be visible. Then create the data flow if not installed.
    Delta is relatively a big topic. Refer following:
    /people/swapna.gollakota/blog/2007/12/27/how-does-a-datasource-communicates-delta-with-bw
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2004/12/23/logistic-cockpit-delta-mechanism--episode-two-v3-update-when-some-problems-can-occur
    What you need to do from your end is create init infopackage, load the data. Once done create delta infopackage and load the data. If you are in 7.x then need to create DTP accordingly.
    But just remember the datasource should be delta capable. In infopackage when you get only full option then you can say the datasource is not delta capable.

  • Error in Business Content Installation

    Hi Guru's,
    I am trying to install the Business Content object InfoCube    0FIAA_C04 where the steps i followed are:
    goto RSORBCT >Infoprovider by infoarea >find 0FIAA_C04 >grouping >In dataflow before & After >Collection Mode >Start Manual Collection > drag and drop 0FIAA_C04.
    After this i am getting list of error message at the bottom in RED as follows:
    Object 0ASSET_ATTR_TEXT (3.x InfoSource,ISTD) could not be collected for object FI-AA-IO (Application,APCO)
    Object '0ASSET_ATTR_TEXT' (ISTD) of type '3.x InfoSource' is not available in version 'D'
    and so on for other objects also related to 3.x
    please throw some light as to how we need to install 0FIAA_C04 without any errors and collect the objects related to 3.x infosource also.
    if you have any document on this pls forward it to skd1982 gmail
    Thanks,
    Sujeet

    Hai i assume your in BI 7 try to collect the cube independently i mean only necessary objects for cube and then try to install also see to that all infoobjects in cube are installed if missing collect those independently and move.
    Then install datasource with dataflow before .when collecting see those objects which are necessary and then tick it installation ..
    Goodluck.

  • How to integrate BW with CRM?

    Dear All Experts,
    I need to integrate BW 7.0 with CRM 7.0. I have searched alot on forums regarding this. The more I search the more I got confused. some thread says that all CRM reporting is done from BW whereas some says standard crm reporting is done on crm side within Web UI Client.
    First of all, I want to activate standard CRM reports which are available on Web UI client and want to show them on the UI Client within CRM. My functional CRM consultant has done configuration on his part to enable those reports. But I have read that in order to view these reports on UI client BW side configuration and extraction is required (BW Adapter Metadata- I know these settings).
    On one document, I have read that data is extracted into Local BI client. So my questions are:
    1) Do I have to install BI client on the same machine where CRM is running or can we have separate BI machine connected to CRM system just like normal ECC extraction and after extraction I want to show those standard CRM reports on CRM web UI client for end users.
    2) Normally, when you install datasources from RSA5 and then install data targets with "before and after flow", datasources are automatically linked with data targets in workbench hierarchy. But in CRM case data sources are not linked. It is because transfer rules are not available for all CRM data sources. Therfore, no datasources are automatically linked with data targets in hierarchy in data warehousing workbench. I have to find out manually and link them with data targets by creating transfer rules. (transfer rules are not even given in standard CRM BC).
    3) Some of the datasources are not available and seen either in RSA5 or in RSOR tcode. It seems that these datasources are missing. How can I find those datasources?
    Your expert opinion and solution is required.
    Regards,
    Farrukh Hanif

    1) do NOT put them on the same server... trust me (you'll "lock" each other... hint: CRM jobs run at night... and so do BI loads)
    2) in BW 7.0 you should try to avoid transfer rules and other "old" elements
    3) there's another logic with regards to DataSources in CRM (as compared to ECC)... I can't recall the transaction(s) by heart though (and not on a CRM project right now - I believe this should be mentionned somewhere in course CR900)... you could always try to find them in table ROOSOURCE though

  • CAF Business Objects in Separate Database

    We currently have an application written in CAF which is using Business Objects/Entity Services using local persistence. I believe the local persistence automatically uses the default datasource defined in the SAP WAS portal server and creates the tables in that database.
    The requirement is to have that CAF application data stored in a different database instead of the portal database. There are ways to install a separate datasource in the SAP WAS server to point to a different database, but I don't know how to make CAF Business Objects use that newly installed datasource, or whether it is possible?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hi,
    it seems I've to achieve that by using associations.
    But how should the Scenario look for my example?
    The relation is the following:
    Each application has exactly one division.
    Is it correct like that?
    DIVISION: Association to APPLICATION ("DivisionApplication"), CROSS_BO, ONE_TO_MANY
    BO APPLICATION: Association to DIVISION ("ApplicationDivision"), CROSS_BO, NONE_TO_ONE
    Another question:
    I can now add an association to APPLICATION  through the service browser by choosing the association name "ApplicationDivision" and putting the 32 digit the DIVISION that I want to associate.
    Is that the only way to do it in service browser?
    As this is impossible for business users, do I have to create a WD for them to maintain those values in an easier way?
    Thanks.

  • Report related to rebates

    Hi Experts,
    Below is the scenario related to rebate and the requirement from client.
    1.     Rebates: A rebate is a special discount which is paid retroactively to a customer. This discount is based on the customer's sales volume over a specified time period.
          For example customer (eg H&B company) will be getting 10% amount of discount if they purchase an amount of 50,000 in 3months from that vendor and for particular articles(goods).
       Query to be generated : BI has to raise a alert if there is a shortage of certain amount (eg 5000 in this case)or less than that amount  to get the rebate.
    MY solution: So first we have to create a query to display : For particular vendor, we have to get the actual purchase amount for particular rebate. Then this purchase amount has to be compared with the rebate amount (here it is 50,000) and present date has to be compared with the end date of the rebate.If there is less(minimum,value is specified eg 10%) difference in actual purchase amount and rebate amount && present date is less than Rebate end date,then BI has to generate alert saying that customer has to buy still 5000 to get the rebate(i.e discount).
    My problem : There is a cube name 0PUR_C03 : Subsequent settlement : Evaluation (also called as Rebates) ,but I am not able to understand what are the values it is extracting from the R/3 side .I mean what exactly each key field mean in that cube.
    I thought of loading data and comparing data in r/3 side,but it is giving error while installing datasource, saying that the datasource is not active in the source system. When I try to activate it in source system it is saying data source is locked by request.
    IF I can know what each field mean in that cube, there will be no need to load data.
    I know it will take a long time to understand the scenario and get the solution,but this issue is critical.
    It will be great help if anyone can get me the solution.
    Thanks for your HELP.
    Thanks,
    Lalitha
    Ph: 09999078676

    Hi Lalitha,
    As the Cube: 0PUR_C03, is a std one so you can go to each field of it and press F1 key, that will open help for that perticular field. And you get to know what that field store in that cube.
    I hope it is of some use of you.
    Thanks and Regards,
