Legacy Data - Urgent!!

Hello All,
Client is planning to load just the current data in R/3 and interested in loading all the history data in BW. History data is coming from legacy systems such as JDEdwards, etc. How to load the legacy data directly in BW to maintain history? Is flat file only option? If yes, then it would lead to 1 ODS per table in legacy system. This will end up in creating n number of ODSs. Pls. let me know if any other solution exists for this or not.
Can UD Connect or DB Connect be used in this case?
Thanks
Pal

UD Connect can be used to connect to Multidimensional databases where as DB Connect can only be used to connect to Relational databases (flat 2 dimensional databases)
UD Connect uses the JCA (J2EE Connector Architecture) BI Java connectors where as DB Connect uses ABAP Connectors.
These are the major high level differences between UD Connect and DB Connect.
In your scenario if all your legacy data is in flat databases you should consider using DB Connect while if you have to get data from multidimensional sources, you should consider using UD Connect.

  • Asset Legacy data transfer reconciliation with GL

    We have recently merged a deactivated company code with our operating company and transferred all Finance processes, open items,master data etc.
    We transferred assets using Legacy Data Transfer AB91 (we did not use intercompany asset transfer ABT1N).
    We then transferred the Trial Balance.
    The asset balances reconcile against the GL accounts for the transferred assets when executing S_ALR_87011964 and FS10N.
    However there is a difference in ABST2 which is the same difference as the migrated assets.
    I would expect there to be no difference between FI and AA for legacy data transfer
    I have also run ABST for all affected GL accounts and there is no difference when executing this report.
    Note that the company code migration occurred in January 2008, there is no effect on 2007 year end data.

    Hi
    You have to take over the GL  balance using OASV t.code

  • Legacy data upload for Training & Event Management

    As per the requirement, the legacy /history data for training events is to be uploaded in the system. To start the process the data templates were prepared for uploading training objects like D (Business Event Group), L (Business Event Type) and E (Business Event) and these were uploaded. Also the relationships A003 between D & L and A020 between E & D were also maintained. As a part of training history the attendees were also maintained (uploaded) using the relationship A025 between E & P objects. However when we go to PSV2, then the tree structure does not reflect the name of the person who attended the event.
    Please suggest and advice.

    Hi Nitin,
    I have a query regarding the Legacy data. I wanted to ask you that how did you structure the Historical BEG and BET.
    Did you create different BEG for the Current and the Legacy data.
    But in that case there could be BET's common in both the current and legacy data with different object ids
    For e.g. Under Current BEG and Historical BEG  I may have a BET Technical Programmes with diffrent Ids say 60000000 and 60987655. This may create a problem when running reports.
    Pls tell me strategy that you have used for creating the catalog.

  • Legacy data transfer - open items customer/vendor

    Hi together,
    We want to transfer legacy data to SAP. With our open item postings (customer/vendor) we want to  use the relevant tax code, but we don´t want to actually post the tax amount. (The tax will be transferred in sum)
    How does that work?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Murali,
    I´ve checked that by entering a manual posing via fb01.
    The problem is that within the posting I can´t set the tax code for the  transfer account (GL-account) since field
    MWSKZ must be empty. I´ve already deactivated message no. FF753 but that does not influence the system behavior.
    Else I get error message FF707.
    Does SAP behave differently in case of LSMW?

  • Strange legacy data migration problem to SAP CProjects

    Dear all,
    I am new to CProjects and currently working on migrating legacy data to CProjects through XML. I am facing some strange problems when migrating project data with multiple phases. If the project already exists in Cprojects, the XML import transaction hangs indefinitely and a timeout exception is thrown. While on the other hand, if I upload a new project (with same set of phases), it is readily imported without any problems.
       Kindly help!
      Thank you all!

    Hi Vivek,
    If the project already exists, the system creates a simulation from the imported data. You then need to move the simulation to your operational project by performing a reconcilliation. You can't simply overwrite an operational project via an import.
    I have included some links below from SAP help which may help (cProjects 3.1).

  • Asset-Building legacy data

    Dear all
    There is scenario for Asset-Building in legacy data......for building there are many line items...for e.g.
    1. Building is  purchased
    2. then some addition in this asset(with other date)
    etc.
    Now how to upload this assets in the system.....
    regards

    Hi,
    Now i got confuse..
    You want to upload the asset data in SAP form your Legacy system... Correct
    If it is so then you have 2 option
    1. you can upload the asset in SAP by creating different Asset code base on different acquisition made in same asset in your legacy.and upload the dep differently.
    2. You consolidate the value of all the year and upload in one asset in sap
    Total Acquisition value and total Dep on all the asset

  • Upload 3 year old legacy data into ECC

    I need to upload legacy data (purchase orders/FI line items from accounting entries) of 2007/8/9 into ECC today through LSMW. Can i do this?Do I need to open posting periods of 2007/8/9. How to do that?
    Does anything have to be done using MMPV or MMRV??

    Hi,
    No this is not possible/recommended.  The recommended practice is to upload trial balance as on the cutover date. 
    It means...
    1) If the cutover date is similar to year end, then only balance sheet items which are open items as on that date
    2) If the cutover date is other than year end date, then all open items of balance sheet accounts and year to date balance of profit and loss account.

  • Creating a report of all the errors occured while loading legacy data

    hi  guys,
