Maintaining BW Masterdata without Source System

Hi all,
In my clients BW system several Masterdata exits without a Source System (for example in case of BPS applications). Masterdata is maintained by the IT department on behalf of the end-user or by loading flat-files.
My client would like to have a user-friendly solution for maintaining the Masterdata by the end-users. Anyone has ideas how to achieve this?
Release is 3.5 but upgrade to 7.0 is planned for the near future.
Thnx in advance,
Henk.

Hi,
you can create a BPS manual entry screen and fill data to an infocube.
Later use your infocube as a data source for your character.
You can also manage the data load with a process chain that updates the master data everyday ( for example ).
Hope this helps.

Error in the source system for fiscal year variant K4 Period 00

We are experiencing the following issue when loading data from module Flexible real estate RE-FX CASHFLOW CUBE OREFX_C06 Error in source system Fiscal year variant K4 is not defined for the period 00.

Hi,
You need to check in your source whether you have maintained Fiscal Yr Variant or not? Talk to you Functional person before you do the BI Extraction.
In Table T009B
You can check Fields
MANDAT - client
PERIV - Fiscal Year Variant
BDATJ - Posting date YYYY
BUMON - Posting date calendar month
Check Table T009B and see if you fiscal variant is maintained for all periods of Years (as per error its not). maintain the same in Source system and transfer Global settings in BW to copy the same into BW system.

Add new source system to BI

Hello,
Our requirement is to load data from a different R3 client to which we dont have a connection yet.
The idea is to create a new connection but keep the existing one.
Is there any automated tool to do this? We would like to avoid the manual creation of all infosources and transformations from the new source system, but to copy them from the existing one.
We found that there is a tool for replacing the current source system with another one (BDLS), but we just want to create this new one in paralel with the current source.
Thanks!!
Pablo

Hi,
what you can do is, create a transport request containing all source system related things like the infosource/datasource assignment, transfer rules... and import that transport back into your dev system. Before the import you should maintain the settings for source system after transport accordingly.

Changing source system reference

Hi,
When I transport from dev to Q, how can I change the source system assignments to Q system? I guess I have to change the assignments as they are referencing dev source system in development and should reference Q when they come to Q.
Thanks.

Consider you have BWD, BWQ and BWP and you want to have them loaded from R3D, R3Q and R3p respectively.
First you need to create R3 source systems in each of the BW systems (and not transport it).
For steps refer:
Creating Source System in BW
Before transporting your rest of the development make sure you have maintained source system mapping.
If it is not maintained then the same source system name will be used in the target system.
This can be done via rsa1->tools->mapping source system or transaction RSLGMP
Lets say your landscape in BWD, BWQ and BWP connected R3D, R3Q and R3P respectively.
In BWQ create a new entry with values, OrSrceSyste = R3D and TargSrceSy = R3Q
In BWP create a new entry with values, OrSrceSyste = R3D and TargSrceSy = R3P
If you are tranporting any datasource of BW sourcesystem (ex: technical content datasources), then
In BWQ create a new entry with values, OrSrceSyste = BWD and TargSrceSy = BWQ
In BWP create a new entry with values, OrSrceSyste = BWD and TargSrceSy = BWP

Data Marts dont change source system id in QA

Hi friiends!
I have generated export datsource for characteritic in Dev.
When I transport this to QA, the datasource keep the Dev source system, this is wrong, In QA the datasource must be associated the QA source system.
How can I solve this?
Thank you in advance!!

Hello ,
Please check what you have collected in the Transport request. Select only Data source and transport without source system name.
Thanks.

Language field is not maintained in the source system

hi,
I had problem with 0ehs_actn_text data source. when i'm trying to pull data to BW it's saying language field is not maintained in the source system.
I check the datasource there is no language field in the extract structure. and No fileds are checked for slection. I found one field REFOBJ checked in the data selection tab of datasource. But the data not coming to BW side.
could anyone help.
regards
kumar

hi kumar,
Check in rsa6 TXTLG field should be there and it should not be checked in HideField Tab.. then only the data will populate to BW..
So make the things properly and once again replicate the data source in Bw side.. load the data..
other wise if u dont wanto the language field in Bw side goto infoobject maintanance uncheck the "TExt Language dependent" option in masterdata/texts Tab.. save and activate it.. load the data..
i hope this will help you..
Thanks..

Clone Oracle DB without SYS priviledges on source system

Hi all,
I work in application support and often need to debug application issues quickly, using a recent copy of production data. I'm looking for a method to clone a production database without having system priviliedges on the source system. I have access to the filesystem (ie datafiles).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

You are application support, This should handled by DBA.
You have backup of that database? then you can perform just restore of database in destination server without connecting to Target/source database.

Refresh of BW System without deleting the source system

Hello experts
I want to know, is it possible to refresh BW system without deleting the source system.
That means I just do the renaming via BDLS and reconnect.
If I do so, do I have a post refresh activities.
According to OSS note 886102 and 184447, there are 3 scenarios:
Scenario A: You want to copy the entire system infrastructure connected by the BW source system connections (that means the entire system group).
Scenario B: You want to copy a single BW system of the group, the sourcesystem is not copied.
Scenario C: You want to replace a single sourcesystem of a BW-system with another system using a database or client copy (Example: Refresh of the OLTP consolidation system by a copy of the OLTP production system). The BW system is not copied
Assuming I use Scenario A, can I refresh BW system without deleting the source system.

Hi:
The primary source of information is the how to paper on this topic:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bff13df2-0c01-0010-6ba7-bc50346a6fd8
YOu are correct, you can refreh the BI system without deleting the source system.
Thanks for any points you assign (after all, I wrote the paper!).

How to load master data from 2 source system without using 0logsys as compo

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a project which has 2 source systems.

So, please help me out providing logic.
thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
Can you brief me how did you resolved your issue?

Restore source system without replication

Hi,
Normally one would do a restore of a source system after it has been refreshed with RSA1.
The "downside" is that it also do a replication of the datasources.
We want to split the procedure and do the restore of the source system without replication and the replication itself separately. Are there any transactions, FMs, reports, ... to achieve these tasks separately?
Eddy

Eddy,
I found out about that, but i never tried it, it is an interesting program, but i don't know how if it will ask whether a datasource need to be 3.x or 7. I guess if you execute as a background job it will not ask.

Create source system without cross client config

The SAP-Help URL given below explains the prerequisites for linking BW to a source system. One of the requirements is that the source client is open for cross client configuration.
Is there a way to create the source system without having cross client rights in each source client?
I understand that the client only has to be open while it is being linked to the BW system but I would prefer to avoid opening the client at all.

Hi ,
You can perform the following check :-
1) Check if BI DBMS and Source DBMS are same. If not then you have to Install DB Client for that Source then this error should not come.
2)Check if DBSL(Data Base shared Library is installed in BI for this Source. If not Kindly Install that in BI server.
Kindly perform these operations and lets see what happens.

Question to Maintaining Source System IDs

We go to RSA1, and choose Assignment source system to source system ID in toolbar, system display source system ID field and Source system ID text field. So the question to this activity is that is this Source system ID flexible, not fixed.
1) E.g.in our case BW source system call THTCLNT100, so could we just use TH100 as source system.
2) Once we create one source system in BW system under Source system Tab, should we also follow this steps, namely Maintaining Source System IDs for this new created source system?
Thanks for the answer.
Edited by: hi ni on Apr 14, 2008 5:39 PM

Hi,
as far as I know, the id can only be a character of length 2 so in your case just TH or T1 or something else. It's normally up to you. Once maintained it cannot be changed anymore.

Jump from (RRI) BEx query parsing infoobject without MD to source system

Hi!
I have a snag that I hope someone out there will be able to help me with. I have a query that cointains purchasing line items. I want to jump from a purchasing order number in the query to transaction me23n (display purchasing order) in the source system.
This works fine in the portal (don't ask me why there's a difference..) where ECC is launched as a new portal window and the data is parsed correctly. But when attemting to do the same in BEx Analyser the system pops a dialog demaning that I choose which infosource should be used for reversing the infoobject into the proper ECC table field...
Now the infoobject is 0REF_DOC_NR, and it doesn't have any masterdata or texts.. so there is no "papertrail" for the system to follow back to the source.
In RSBBS the I have selected delete for all other infoobjects and set the line for 0_ref_doc_nr like this:
InfoObject: Reference Document Number, Type: Table Field, Field Name: EBELN, Selection Type: Parameter, Required Entry: X, Data Element: EBELN, Domain: Blank, SET/GET Parameter: BES
Any tips?

Ola

Swap R3 source system for BW without recreating transfer rules

Hi, All,
I am facing an interesting situation. The team would like to retire an R3 system which is the source to our BW development environment. I need to replace the old R3 source with another one. The BW development environment is also the source of the transport path.
Is there a quick way to swap out an R3 source system without recreating all the transfer rules/infosources/infopackages which are tie to the old system?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
In BI 7.0, we are trying to repoint ECC 6 Dev system in place of R/3 Dev. Ran BDLS which converted some tables but not all and ended with errors. Does anyone know how to manually correct these entries? Is there a program to independently correct the tables?
