Load BW hierarchy from a DB Connect Source System

Hi,
I think I will be able to generate a suitable dataset - the same as for loading BW hierarchies from flatfile - in a database view connected via DB Connect in an external system.
However, it looks like this is not supported. Am I right in thinking you can only load hierchies from flatfile (apart from R/3 of course). Seem odd as it is staged via the PSA anyway.
Can anyone please confirm? Any ideas for workaround as the manual step to create the hierarchy as a flatfile will be a pain.
Regards,
AB

Hello Andrey,
did you find any solution to your problem?

  • How to load an infocube from more than one source system?

    HI all,
    Can u please tell me how to load an info cube from more than one source sytem?

    Hi,
    same confiig is required for one or more source system. (From Data source to update rule, obviously cube remains the same).
    Its the infopackage execution which loads the data from different source system.

    Hi
    looks like there is some inconsistency in hierchy data you are tring to laod.
    Check hierarchy in r3 if its ok, if yes try deleting complete hierarchy and reloading it.
    You may also chose to adjust it manually

  • DB connect source system creation in BI

    Hi,
    I would like to create a DB connect source system to an external MSSQL 2005 database in RSA1.
    The external MSSQL 2005 database is setup using Windows Authentication mode.
    Question: Which user actually should I specify when creating the source system in RSA1? or which user should I assign the db_ddladmin role in the external MSSQL database?
    Many thanks,
    YJ.

    Hi,
    Please note the following with regard to the user:
    To avoid problems loading data, proceed as follows:                   
    1. Create a special login for the extraction. You should add this login to the db_ddladmin database role in the 
    corresponding database. This generates a similar DB user at database level. The user you use must have the 'CREATE VIEW'
    authorization at least.  This is contained in the role mentioned above.
    2. For the extraction, you should only use DB views that were  created under this DB user. (refer also to type conversion, naming       
    convention and so on)                                                    
    3. Assign the necessary authorizations (SELECT at least) to the  selected user in the source tables, or the columns of these tables.      
    4. Use the specially created login in the logon information when you set up the DB source system in BW.   
    You will find much more detailed information on how to setup the connection and known problems and issues in the

  • Change a migrated DataSource for DB Connect Source System

    Hi,
    I have created a DataSource for a DB connect Source system with transactioncode RSDBC as follows:
    1. select database TableView
    2. choose Edit DataSource
    3. fill in the field Application Component (default stated NODESNOTCONNECTED)
    4. generate datasource
    Result: the datasource has been created in the right application component. As I want to migrate to BW 7 I have migrated the datasource (with export) and afterwards activated it. Now we need to add more fields to the database TableView. After the fields have been added I want to make these fields also available in the DataSource created before.
    How can I do this ?
    When using transaction code RSDBC I found out that the application component is stated again NODESNOTCONNECTED instead of the application component filled before. Is it possible that changes in the TableView will always lead to create the DataSource all over again (new InfoPackage, new Transformation rules, new DTP).
    Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards, Minouschka

    Hello,
    We have basically the same problem. An existing data source from a DB-connect client and now need to add a new field but edit mode BW does not provide the ability to add or delete existing fields.
    Were you able to complete this and if so how did you do it?
    Thank you,

  • Problem in creating DB Connect source system

    Hi All,
    Iam creating a DB Connect source system to a legacy ORACLE database.
    Since my legacy database is ORACLE, I have given the TNS name as the connection info.
    The source system got created successfully. but the problem is, upon clicking on 'datasource overview', the system has to generate an application component hierarchy. But it is showing the same application component hierarchy which is there for flat file source system, and iam not getting the option to "select Database Tables" where i can create and edit the datasource.
    please help me out.
    help would be appreciable and carry reward.

    Hi,
    Create source system first.
    you have to select the option "Database system (Data and meta data using SAP DB Connect)".
    Now enter the database specific information.
    DBMS:
    Username:
    Pwd:
    Conn. Info:
    Conn. Info should be the TNS name if it is oracle database.
    after giving the relevent information save it, and come back. Source system will be created.
    Now right click on source system and select the option " select Database Tables". it will show you the list of tables or views on that database.
    select the table/view on which you need to create data source, and click on "edit datasource" there you can generate datasource.
    after creating the datasource, replicate it... adn proceed.
    any doubts plz ask me.

  • Loading and with error message :COLLECTION in SOURCE SYSTEM ENDED

    Hi,
    Facing problem with master data object while loading and with error message :COLLECTION in SOURCE SYSTEM ENDED
    This load is getting failed every day. It is a full load and records are getting transferered and added.
    when we check in details tab in RSMO all data packets in processing is green but in extraction some of the data selection scheduled are in yellow.We are changing QM status to green as records are added.
    Version i am using is BW 3.5
    Please let me know what will be the problem???
    Thanks,
    Edited by: lokesh thonsyd on Feb 18, 2009 8:55 AM

    First try to find out the reason for the load failure. Once you fix this, do a manual run of the infopackage and when successful you can continue with the rest of process chain.
    Sometimes, it doesn't help to just set a request to green status in order to run the process chain from that step on to the end.
    You need to set the failed request/step to green in the database as well as you need to raise the event that will force the process chain to run to the end from the next request/step on.
    Therefore you need to open the messages of a failed step by right clicking on it and selecting 'display messages'.
    In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
    In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and display the entries with the following selections:
    1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
    2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table rspcprocesslog
    3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table rspcprocesslog
    Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
    Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the function module and run the fm in test mode.
    Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of the function module like described as follows:
    1. rspcprocesslog-log_id -> i_logid
    2. rspcprocesslog-type -> i_type
    3. rspcprocesslog-variante -> i_variant
    4. rspcprocesslog-instance -> i_instance
    5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
    Now press F8 to run the fm.
    Now the actual process will be set to green and the following process in the chain will be started and the chain can run to the end.

    Please advice.

    Hi Thilini,
    Are you sure that the DB user on Oracle has sufficient authorizations?
    Does the search help support wildcards? Did you try w/o any wildcard or enter a table or a view name supplied by your Oracle DBA?

  • Is possible to load a hierarchy from web services?

    Hi Experts,
    I have a doubt, exists some way to load a hierarchy of a infoobject from a system source that is a Web Services? Somebody I could do this? It would give a guide me of steps to do...
    Thanks & Regards,
    Leonel

    Usually web service datasources load into a PSA. and hierarchies are loaded using IDoc. You could however load the data from the web service into another infoobject / DSO and create a custom hierarchy datasource . The procedure for the same - I came across something like this in ABAP for BW ( SAP Press ) ... do not have it now but it can be done...

  • DS-BW:Data load called from BW failed after Source System program_id change

    Hi,
    In my BW 7.0 instance I have Data Services 3.2 as source system.
    Some time ago I have changed instance of Data Services I am connecting to - I just changed PROGRAM_ID in RFC connection parameters for that source system.
    Since that time when I am trying to execute infopackage to call a job I am getting following error:
         OCI call <OCISessionBegin> for connection <xxxxxxx> failed: <ORA-01017: inv
    where <xxxxxx> is Oracle database connection name for Data Services instance I connected originally.
    What can be reason for that?

    In Data Services Server Manager on DS box there were configurations for job server I connected originally and for the other job server. After removing original config it works fine.

  • Deletion of data objects from already not existed source system

    Hello, Everybody,
    In BI 7 i had QASCLNT<b>500</b> source system and have been created datasource with transformation. Later QASCLNT<b>500</b> was deleted or changed (i don't know very well) to QASCLNT<b><i>300</i></b>, but old datasource with transformation is still in new system. When i try to delete these objects i get a message - "Source system QASCLNT<b>500</b> does not exist".
    Could you give me a suggestion how can i delete that datasourse and transformation?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,

    Hi,
    It depends on your requirements whether you have to keep the history or not.
    If you  delete the data from your info providers, you have to reload everything from scratch.
    If you want to delete the data from all
    1. first delete the data in data targets such as cubes, DSO's or ODS then
    2. master data
    use these programs to delete from se38
    -> rsdrd_delete_facts - for Cubes and DSO or ODS
    -> rsdmd_del_background - for master data in background
    -> rsdmd_del_master_data_texts - for master data right away
    manage your master data info objetcs after the deletion, if you still find them....
    go to se14 and delete individually each and every table such as attributes, texts, sids, hierarchy.
    hope it helps you better.
    But I dont recommend you to delete try to load full repair options for all yur loads
