Mapping data flow from R/3 to BW
Hello,
I am pretty new to BW and I have been tasked with creating a detailed map of the data flow from R/3 into BW.
I need to record where the data originates from in R/3 (field names/tables) and literally track the flow of that data all the way including any info objects along the way to any cubes that it may be sitting in.
How do I track this flow ? And how can I identify what a characteristic in BW is in R/3 ?
Has anybody had to create a similar data flow ? If so how did you approach this ?
Many Thanks,
Matt
Hi Matthew,
From the R/3 side:
BW treats all the data from R/3 as Datasources.
From the Datasource the upload of data to the cube is done as..
<b>Datasource->Transfer Rule->psa/infosource->communication structure->cube</b>
(for a 3.5 system)
in case of 7.0 system... data flow is as follows...
<b>Datasource->infopackage->psa->transformation/DTP-> Data target(cube)</b>
-> Go to transaction <b>RSA5</b>( for Business Content datasources ) and <b>RSA6</b>( for all the active Datasources ) found in the system.
-> There you can find all the data that you want...(For your mapping purpose this will do..)
-> You can as well check from the BI side in the transaction RSA1 -> click on the Monitor button on the left ( for custom objects ) or Business Content button -> choose the object from the tree... right click and replicate to find if all of them were used.
Hope this helps!!

How to make data flow from one application to other in BPEL.
Hi All,
I am designing work-flow of my application through BPEL(JDeveloper), I am making different BPEL projects for different functions, like sales manager got the order from sales person and sales manager either approve it or reject it, if he approve it it goes to Production manager and he ships the goods, now I want to keep sales person, sales manger,production manager in seperate BPEL files and want to get the output of sales person to sales manager and sales manager to production manager please help me in dong this.
I was trying to make partner link in Sales manager of sales person and getting the input from there. I dont know this is right even or not, if it is right I dont know how to make data flow from one application to other.
Experience people please guide.
Sales Person -----> Sales Manager ----> Production Manager
Thanks
YatanYes you can do this.
If you each integration point to be in different process, you have to create three BPEL process.
1. Create a Async BPEL process 'A' which will be initiated when sales person creates the order.
2. From BPEL process 'A' call a ASync BPEL process 'B' which has the approval flow. Depending on the input from process 'A' the sales manager will review the order in workflow and approve or reject and send the result back to process 'A'.
3. Based on the result from workflow, invoke the Sync BPEL process 'C', where you can implement the shipping logic.

Dear SAP Experts,
Greetings for the Day!
I am looking forward for some information on the Data flow happening from CRM to BW system. Some of the few queries are as below:
Do we have any settings for this data flow in Transaction SMOEAC.
How does the below setting impact the BDOC flow in BW. Also, if we un-check the “Do Not Snd”, will BDOCs
flow to BW system ? <PFA>
PS: We are on CRM 7.0 with EHP2.
Thanks!
Regards,
KanikaHi Kanika,
Data flow from CRM to BW happens via XIF using IDocs. You can check in transaction WE21 for your RFC destination of BW and the output parameters, which decides what data would be send to the corresponding destination.
You can also check my blog:
External Interface (XIF) Setup but this is XIF setup in general and not specific to BW.
Hope this helps.

Need to check the data flow from R/3 to BW server.
Hi BI experts,
This query is regarding need to check the data flow from R/3 to BW server.
As of now I have some set of reports which I would need to take up in BW. The requirement is to go through the list of transaction codes for reports in R/3 and find out if there are already any existing objects in BW system which I can use for these reports.
So, can u plz help me.Depends what are your Tcode or Reports users run in R/3 and they want the same in BW.Then in BI Content we have Out of the box Delivered reports.You can activate those Load data and use it.

Data Flow from TXT to a table error
Hello,
I am trying to fill in the data from a .txt file I have into a table in a DB. Previously this worked fine in DTS and I can still do it when I import the DTS command but I want to update this to a data flow because the DTS commands needs to be run on 32 bit
and I'm using 64 bit.
I'm getting 3 errors:
[OLE DB Destination [322]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
[OLE DB Destination [322]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "input "OLE DB Destination Input" (335)" failed because error code 0xC020907B occurred, and the error row disposition on "input "OLE
DB Destination Input" (335)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "OLE DB Destination" (322) failed with error code 0xC0209029 while processing input "OLE DB Destination Input" (335). The identified
component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the
failure.
Before I changed the Flat File Source input advanced editor input and output properties to text stream [DT_TEXT] because the table has VarChar I also had an other error but this seems to be resolved. The only problem is if I look at the mappings the
input is text stream [DT_TEXT] but the output is a string and I am unable to change this in the advanced editor of the OLE DB destination. I can change it but it changes back on it's own.
Could I please get some help on these errors?
ThanksHi SQLNewbie101,
According to your description, when you change column data type in the advanced editor of OLE DB Destination, it always changes back.
Based on my research, the column data type is already confirmed by the destination table, it depends on the columns in the table, so we cannot change it.
To fix this issue, one way as you said, we can use Data Conversion Transformation to convert the [DT_TEXT] data type to [DT_STR] after Flat File Source. Another way is directly change the column data type in the Advanced tab of Flat File Connection Manager
Editor as below. Then double click the Flat File Source to update the columns.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Migrate data flow from 3.5 to 7.3?
Dear Experts,
After technical had upgrade SAP BW from 3.5 to 7.3, I did test migrating data flow. I found that if I specified "migration project" to another name different from DataStore Object name, I could not find related objects (e.g. transformation or DTP) under that DataStore Object. And the DataStore Object was also inactive version, even the migration was done without error.
For example
- Original DSO name = AAA was showed inactive
- Migration Project name = AAA_Migrated
- After selecting all the objects including process chains and clicking on 'Migration/Recovery' button, status showed with no error (Migration History displayed all green)
- recheck objects in transaction = RSA1
- DSO name = AAA was still showed inactive
I just wonder where all objects under DSO name = AAA were gone?
What happened to the migration project name = AAA_Migrated?
How should I find the migration project name = AAA_Migrated?
How to recover all objects under DSO name = AAA? (Just in case misspelling "migration project")?
If you have similar case mentioned above, could you share any experience how to handle this?
Thank you very much.

Why do my rules fail in the data flow from connector view to Meta view?
I have Meta directory 5.0 alongwith the iplanet Directory Server 5.0 installed which is working fine.
I have created an instance of NT Domain Connector which retrieves entries in a Connector view.
Where do I get the examples about writing the data flow rules for the NT Domain Connector for flowing specific entries from CV to MV. Basically I do not want the NT Groups in the MV. Also I want to create an additional attribute e.g myflag whose value should be updated manually in the CV. And now if myflag = 0 I dont want this entry to be moved to MV and if myflag = 1 the entry should be moved to MV.
I tried to write a few rule but it fails in testing only (Rule Tester). And I am not able to locate the exact error in my rule. Does it require any specific configuration ?
Thanks
Amol TalapYou should post your rule.
But either way, have you tried this:
(objectclass==ntuser) or
(objectclass!=groupofuniquenames)
The first set allows only entries that are user.
The second allows only entries that are not groups.
As for the flags, try this:
(myflag==1) or
(myflag!=1)
Same effect as above.
Further more if rule testing fails, it could that you are not referencing the right Directory when using the rule tester. The rule tester does not always point to the right location.

Can i copy the entire data flow from one std-Infocube to a new RT Infocube
Hi,
I created a new Real Time Infocube , copy of an existing Standard Infocube. But is there any option to copy the entire data flow - like transformations, DSO and all that ?Hi,
We can copy standard Infocube to Realtime Infocube ,it will work in BI7.0.
The procedure is 1) Go to Context menu of Standard IC and select copy option.
2)In Edit IC option select Real Time and create it ,it copies as real time info cube.
3)But for Loading data,Go to context menu of Real time IC and select option Change Real Time Load Behavior
we get 2 options the first one is 1)Real time data target can be loaded with data,planning not allowed ,if we select data will be loaded.
4)if we go for second option that is 2)Real time data target can be planned , data Loading not allowed ,if we select this,it is used for planning that is comparison of data.
5) This is difference between standard and Real Time InfoCube.
Thanks,

Dynamic data flow from sales order to delivery and vice-versa
Hi Experts,
One of our teams working for a client (transportation industry) on ECC 6.0 is facing an issue in relation to copying of partner data. (Ship-to-party address field changes to be precise)
Currently, whenever the partner address data changed in a Sale order, though delivery is already created prior to this change, the change done is dynamically getting reflected in delivery too. Further, if the partner data in the delivery is changed, this also is getting updated on the preceding document i.e. sales order.
We have checked the copy controls under VTLA and didn’t find any specific modifications made in this regard. Our question is:
Is there any configuration available in standard SAP through which the data updates (like header data viz. partner field data etc.) get dynamically updated forward and backwards in a sales flow(i.e. from sales order to delivery and vice-versa)
Your help on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Jaganif the partner data in the delivery is changed, this also is getting updated on the preceding document i.e. sales order.
The standard functionality is if you change the address of a partner function, the same will get reflected in an existing sale order. This being the case, can you reconfirm your statement that in delivery, if you change the partner function, the same will get updated in sale order also?

How to Restrict the consumer data flow from CRM to R/3
Hi Experts
I have a scenario where my client doesn't wish to flow consumers data into R/3 which are created in CRM's B2C shop.He wants to map consumer data with R/3 One time customers so that further process such as Delivery and all take place and this status gets updated in B2C shop via CRM
hence i request you all could you please help me to solve my issue
i would appreciate you help
Thanking you in advance
Regards
Rao.Hi Mark
thanks very much for you reply
See my scenario is i have set up the B2C SHOP in CRM not in ECC as and when consumer gets register in B2C SHOP he creates an Order, so standard functionality is that CRM Order needs to flow into R/3 along with consumer data such as (sold_to,ship_to_bill_to---) for further process like delivery and billing.
Now my requirement is client does not wish consumer data should be flown into R/3 for which he wants to map consumer data which is created in CRM to R/3 with One Time customer for delivery, so that when ever consumer gets created in B2C SHOP it should map with the same R/3 One time customers
which means that very time one time customer data should be replaced with consumer data which are created in B2C shop.and delivery should take place
so could you please help me is there any way to resolve my issue
Thanking you

Mapping data flow tracking?
We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
We have an existing mapping. Do we able track column from source to target or target to source in Mapping?
Suppose we have employee_salary in source. It goed through number of transforms before reaching the target column sal_measure. If we want to track the complete dataflow of employee_salary to sal_measure or sal_measure to employee_salary. Are there any way in OWB mapping editor?
Thanks in advance.
