Middleware Question - Initial Load vs. Synchronize

Is the initial load (transaction R3AS) of an adapter object required for replication to be carried out from R/3 to CRM? Can I synchronize (R3AS4) instead if I don't need the existing data?
Also, is it even required to do some sort of action (either initial load or synchronize) before we can start replicating?
Our issue is that some items that are under a certain adapter object aren't replicating and I am guessing that I need to either do the initial load or synchronize it. Is this correct?

Hi,
pl check entries in R/3 Table in SM30
1) Table CRMRFCPAR... Here check CRM FILTERING ACTIVE
2) CRMSUBTAB : In this table check for subscription upload and downlod objects
3) CRMRFCPAR : In this table RFC Destination , you define object and load type ( whether intial load or delta load etc..)
4) CRMCONSUM: In this table , define possible user of R3 adaptor functionality.
After this you can do In CRM in Transaction R3AS ( initial down load ) the delta download.
In CRM ,You can also do the filter settingf for the objects in transaction R3AC1 ( ADAPTOR object filter settings ) if required , similerly check entry in transaction R3AC3 and R3AC5

Initial load of BP through Middleware

Hello,
I try to do the initial load of Business Partners from R/3 into the CRM system. The monitor displays, the load has been done succesfully (green light), but no business partners appear in the CRM. Can someone help me?
Points will be awarded
Thanx, Peter
btw: does anybody have some document about setting up the Middleware to transfer data from R/3 to CRM and vice-versa?

Peter, before you can load the BP from R/3 to CRM you need to do some mandatory configuration which - on high level - are:
1 - Map BP Master Data from R/3 to CRM
2 - Map BP Master Data from CRM to R/3
3 - Synchronize field settings between R/3 and CRM
4 - Configure field attributes
5 - Execute actual BP replication
For details on how to execute these configuration stepse steps have a look at http://help.sap.com, select here SAP Best Practices -> Cross-Industry Packages -> CRM. In the CRM Best Practices select Business Information and Preconfigured Scenario's, select (ob right hand side) a sales related scenario, e.g. Internet Sales and select Building Block B09: CRM Replication. In the actual Building Block navigate to page 45 and execute the steps accordingly. Hope this helps, Tiest.

Middleware starts replicating before initial load

Hi folks,
currently i´m setting up the middleware to connect a live ERP with a fresh CRM. The initial load is not done yet, also a lot other configuration stuff. I noticed that at the time of registering the queues the middleware is connecting itself and listing first BDocs in SMW01. Mostly R3AD delta(!) material BDocs (which fail by mapping error currently) but also green ones like 'class message' or 'objcl_message' which seem to have dummy or real entries. This is a problem as i did not configure e.g. R3AC1 filters or number ranges yet.
I thought delta load is triggered first after initial load. How can i stop the middleware before i finish the configuration stuff. If there is a 'switch off' (like deactivate a business adapter object in R3AC1) i guess i would have to switch it on again just before the initial load and then risking uncontrolable connection againg before i can execute R3AS. I mean if i would e.g. deregister the queues i could end my configuration but i would have to register the queues just before initial load and would again having no control about the start of the replication. Is that a problem for you? - How do you handle that issue usually if you set up a new CRM?
Thanks

Middleware initial load in production

We have a question over how to run an initial load (R3AS) in our production system. We have over 4 million business partners and 9 million contract accounts that will require replication from ERP to CRM system. We expect the initial load could take several days to run. Is there anyway to stagger the initial load? This is due to that we may not want replication activities occurring at certain times of the day. We'd like to just do an initial load on a range of bp's per day. It seems this could be accomplished by setting a filter, but my understanding is that as we shift the filter, we would then be missing the deltas of the previous bp's that were loaded via initial load. Is there anyway to accomplish a staggered initial load? or do you need to basically fire off the initial load for your entire filter.
Does anyone also have any tips that are geared towards replication as it relates to large volumes of data.

Pam,
"It seems this could be accomplished by setting a filter, but my understanding is that as we shift the filter, we would then be missing the deltas "
You can activate the deltas manually in R3ac4.

Middleware - Initial Load problems

When I try to do initial load for DNL_CUST_ACGRPB from R/3, the status is 'Running' for long time and does not change to 'Done'. How to troubleshoot the problem and can someone help in resolving this issue?
thanks a lot in advance.
Sam

Sam,
Have you looked for any failed queues in either R/3 or CRM? Check SMQ1 in R/3 and SMQ2 in CRM. You should also see if the queues are registered in both systems, via SMQR.
For CRM:
Did you properly define your R/3 site in SMOEAC? Have you tested the RFC destination to R/3? Does the R/3 user have full security?
For R/3:
Did you check the settings in CRMRFCPAR? Does the RFC destination work correctly. Does the CRM user have full security?
For an object such as the customizing downloads, like DNL_CUST_ACGRPB normally the error surrounds your CRM setup between the two systems. If all those steps are workly correctly then you will need to consider a few other options.
Also you will need to do the following in CRM before you try loading again:
1. In R3AM1 hit the abort button on the object.
2. In either SMQ1 on R/3 or SMQ2 in CRM, delete the queue that failed.
3. Fix any configuration issues with your middleware setup.
4. Execute the initial load again for the object.
Good Luck,
Stephen

Initial load question

Hoping someone has a moment to help me out. To explain, I have three regions. I'd like to NOT display regions two or three on the initial load of the page. In region one, I have a text box to be filled out and a GO button. By the way, I am using HTMLDB 2.0 and I'm trying to do this all on one page.
Once the user enters some search criteria into the text box and hits GO, it should then process and display region two which includes a select list based on a query of all items that are "like" the value entered in the text box.
Finally, when an item is chosen in the list box, I'd like to display region three, which will include several more select lists.
I can't quite figure out how to hide the second and third regions - is there something simple I'm missing?
Also, is there a way to have a "Start Over" button that would jump back up to Region One and start over?
Much thanks to anyone who can help me out! Incidentally, I can get the items created, it just a matter of finding out how to NOT show them until needed that I'm having the problem with... ;)
Thanks!
Steve

Actually, I want to change what I'm trying to do - I have it basically working, but now I'm down to two regions. One region is my text box to allow a user to enter a search string ("%SPECIAL%") but my second region should only be called/populated when they hit the submit button.
In my second region, I have my dynamically created LIST BOX and a bunch of other list boxes with options for my item. All this is working, with the exception of hiding and not populating my list box until the submit button is hit. As it is now, the value typed in my list box stays there from session to session (it's remembering what I typed in) so my second region is being displayed when coming into the page.
I hope this all makes sense and someone can help... :)
Thanks!
Steve

Initial load in middleware

Hi,
When i start the initial load with transaction R3AS, after specifying the load object and destinations on execution it throws me an error "NO GENERATION PERFORMED CALL TRANSACTION GN_START".
I tried running GN_START transaction, after completion of that, when i again try R3AS, it shows the same error again. ("NO GENERATION PERFORMED CALL TRANSACTION GN_START".)
Please suggest some ideas.
Thanks & Regards,
Karthik.

Hi Karthik,
Start transaction GN_START to generate the missing objects. The status of the generation (generation errors) can be seen in transaction GENSTATUS.

Middleware initial load error on funcloc segment type (ADR2) does not exist

Hello,
We are doing initial loads of data into a new CRM 7.0 system.
So far all objects have been done except Functional locations (FUNCLOC).
During the initial load of the functional locations the various BDOCs all go into error state.
The error is the same everywhere: segment type adr2 does not exist.
If we deactivate the adr2 table In transaction R3AC1 and process again, we get the error message for the next table
(Like: segment type IFLOTX does not exist) and so on.
IS there any settings we can do to manage these 'segments' or would there be another wa to solve this?
Thanks.
Joram

Hello,
Take a look at note 1271465, it does not talk about the ADR2 segment but about segment errors in SMW01 for functional location download. It might be useful. Observe especially the constraint in ERP version number, it might be that your ERP system is out-of-date/incompatible for this scenario.
Second thing to check, go to SPRO>CRM>Master Data>Installed Base>Replication of technical objects from ERP
There you'll find a mandatory customizing activity for Functional location download.
And in the documentation of activity "Replication of Functional locations: Prerequisites and General information" you'll find all the necessairy actions to perform.
This helped me in setting up funcloc replication in CRM 7.0.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Joost

Debug Middleware Initial Load

Hi Experts,
How do I debug initial load data? I am uploading data from R3 to CRM. Some of the set types data is missing. How do I debug to find out why some set type data is being uploaded successfully where as some data is not related to an equipment(installed base).
Regards,
Abdullah Ismail.

Hi Shalini,
I have put an external break point in the specified badi but it does not stop there. There is some issue with the initial load and queues. When I unregistered the queues and execute r3as, all the queues get registered. Hence debugging does not work. There is some problem with the delta load also when the equipment is changed in the R3 side. The functional guys are trying to fix it up. Hopefully it finishes soon and I get to award you points
Regards,
Abdullah

Error during initial load of object SI_CONNOBJ

Hi All,
I am not able to do initial load of object SI_CONNOBJ from OLTP R/3 to CRM using transaction R3AS. It is in "Abort" Status. When I am checking the relevant Bdoc generated for the same it is giving me the error as "No data records in transport structure BAPIMTCS Message no. IBSSI_CRMTO_MESSAGES010 ". Please help me in this regard.

Hello Aishuman,
I am not sure what your question is. Yes, of course, you must have connection objects in the IS-U system. Otherwise, what do you want do download to CRM? You must have have the middleware in general and also the adapter SI_CONNOBJ enabled in the IS-U system. I am sure you know, that an IS-U connection object is represented as an IBASE in CRM.
Does a delta replication work (from IS-U to CRM and from CRM to IS-U)?
Kind regards,
Fritz

No initial load of Customers, Material and delta load of Sales Orders.

Hi Experts,
I am facing a very troublesome issue. I am not able to setup the Middleware portion for initial and delta loads. I read a lot of documents and corrected a lot of things. finally, the connectivity is done with R/3 and CRM. Initial load of all objects is successful (as per Best PRactices guide). Customizing load is successful.
But after now I have these open issues for which I am unable to find any answers (am really exhausted!!):
- Customer_main load, it was succesful, but no BP's of R/3 are available.
- Material, it failed in SMW01, SMQ2, the errors are:
Mat. for Initial Download: Function table not supported
EAN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred
EAN yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred
Plant xx is not assigned to a business partner
- Sales order, it shows green bdoc, but error segments says "No upload to R/3" and the order does not flow to R/3.
We had our system setup 3 years back for data transfer and Middleware. But few things changed and connectivity stopped. I did all that again now, but am not yet successful. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Pat

Hi Ashvin,
The error messages in SMW01 for MAterial initial load is :
     Mat. for Initial Download: Function table not supported
     EAN 123456789000562 does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred
     EAN 900033056531434 does not correspond to the GTIN format and cannot be transferred
     Plant 21 is not assigned to a business partner
I have done the DNL_PLANT load successfully. Why then the plant error?
Some of the messages for BP:
Messages for business partner 1331:
No classification is assigned to business partner 1331
For another,
     Partner 00001872(469206A60E5F61C6E10000009F70045E): the following errors occurred
     City Atlanta does not exist in country US
     Time zone EST_NA does not exist
     You are not allowed to enter a tax jurisdiction code for country US
     Validation error occurred: Module CRM_BUPA_MAIN_VAL, BDoc type BUPA_MAIN.
Now, the time zone EST is assigned by default in R/3. Where do I change that? I do not want to change time zones as this may have other impacts. Maybe CRM I cna change this, not for sure in R/3. City check has been deactivated in R/3 and CRM, still the error.
Till these 2 are not solved, I cannot go into the Sales order loads.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Pat

MacBook Pro (mid 2010) - Slow Startup and Initial Load of Apps after Mavericks Install

Hello everyone,
Long time Snow Leopard user here. I've been absolutely, 100% thrilled with my MBP's performance / speed since mid 2010. Since installing Mavericks I've noticed two things:
1. Initial on boot load times seem much slower
2. The first time you open an app (Safari, even TextEdit) is far slower than in Snow Leopard.
Now granted, once the computer has been on for about 5 minutes, and once you've had an application open for 1-2 minutes, than performance is okay once again. But it seems that quite literally everytime you do "anything" for the first time since the computer has been turned on you run the risk of a spinning beachball and an extended wait. This simply never happened in Snow Leopard.
I'm not a computer science major but I do understand that when you do something for the first time since a reboot it will need to load new files into the RAM which takes time. However, I've been using this computer since 2010 and have never experienced this behavior / speed / delay, etc... something seems fundamentally different.
For example, even just opening finder, and navigating to the Applications folder results in sluggish behavior the first time. Also, anytime you first click the top menu bar in an application you run the risk of a beachball.
It doesn't seem like a failing hard drive because I can read/write large chunks of data one an app is finally loaded. It's just initially loading the app takes quite literally 10-20 times longer than Snow Leopard. It seems like perhaps Mavericks itself, the core of the new OS was perhaps installed in a bad sector of the HD, but none of my other files are on bad sectors... if that makes sense. Again - I'm not a computer science major so I'm largely just making things up
It also seems as if multitasking and switching between several open apps has seen a decrease in performance. Could it be that perhaps Mavericks RAM management is superior to Snow Leopard, but only if there is a TON of RAM to go around? Could it be as simple as Macs with only 4GB installed should not be allowed to even install Mavericks?
Does this sound normal for Mavericks considering I have a C2D processor, a non SSD, and only 4GB ram? I know those specs are "outdated" for 2014, but keep in mind these were the specs that I've always had and with Snow Leoapard I was consistently thrilled with the speed of the computer.
I suppose my question is: should my strategy be to simply turn the computer on, get a cup of coffee and let everything load and maybe even have my frequently used apps load on startup, etc... and carry on as normal? Does something seem off? Should I invest in a new SSD / RAM upgrade? I know the upgrades couldn't hurt, but the issue is that I was perfectly content until upgrading to Mavericks
I've tried booting into OS X Recovery mode and using the Disk Utility. I've tried Safe Mode. I've included a "EtreCheck" report below. I'm open to any ideas / suggestions.
Thanks!!

Wish I could be of some help, but I'm having similar issues on my mid 2011 macbook pro with 8 GB ram. It's very frustrating. I haven't worked on a computer this slow since the early 90's. Even simple things like signing in to this site bring up the beach ball for maybe ten seconds. When opening up apps I often have to wait minutes, and often end up force quitting when they hang. I'm using force quit a dozen or more times a day, when it used to be very rare.
I don't know if it's Mavericks. I installed a new hard drive in November, but the problems really started getting bad since the latest upgrade.
It's not just opening apps. If I have an app open in the background and switch to it I have similar issues. Watching a simple video is often accompanied by stalls and delays - which is really bad as I'm often using the laptop to edit video. It's become unuseable for work.
Perhaps the most frustrating is clicking on a link, only to find Safari decides to complete a previous scroll that it had paused. The page jumps down, and sometimes I end up clicking on a link I didn't want. Then I have to wait for THAT spinning beach ball before I can go back to the previous spinning beach ball.
It can take up to ten minutes to restart. I've tried everything I could find on these pages so far, and nothing has worked.
I thought maybe it was something I've done (and perhaps it is), but I keep seeing others with similar issues.

Error while Initial load

Hi Forum,
Iam doing Middleware setup for downloading customer master from R/3 to CRM.Iam trying to do initial load of customizing objects viz.,DNL_CUST_ACGRPB,DNL_CUST_ADDR,
DNL_CUST_KTOKD,DNL_CUST_TVKN,DNL_CUST_TVLS,DNL_CUST_TVPV... which are to be loaded before doing initial load of CUSTOMER_MAIN.
while doing initial load of customizing objects iam getting the below mentioned error
001 No generation performed. Call transaction GN_START.
002 Due to system errors the Load is prohibited (check transaction MW_CHECK)!
-when I do GN_START
"A job is already scheduled periodically.
Clicking on 'Continue' will create another job
that starts immediately.
Do you want to continue?" message is displayed
and I have sheduled it.
But in SMWP transaction I can see in
BDoc Types: Generation of other runtime objects
Not generated / generated with errors 2 entries
 31.08.2006 05:33:50
and the objects with errors are
POT_LISTWRITE
SPE_DDIC_WRITE
-In transaction MW_CHECK, system displays message as No generation performed. Call transaction GN_START.
when I regenerate these objects(generated with errors)from the context menu I find no difference.
I have also referred to the Note :637836 and 661067 which also suggests to run few reports and GN_START but inspite of doing all the corretion parameters in the note Iam still unable to come out of the situation.
Please Guide
Thanks in Advance
Shridhar.

Hi Rahul,
Thanks for the reply.I checked in transaction MW_CHECK and the system throws the message as
No generation performed. Call transaction GN_START.
In the long text the below message is available
No generation performed. Call transaction GN_START.
Message no. SMW_GEN_KERNEL005
Diagnosis
An upgrade was performed.
System response
The Middleware is stopped because MW objects must be generated.
Procedure
Excecute transaction GN_START.
If GN_START is executed,I dont find any change.
I also checked in smq2in CRM and I found the status of the queue as below

Sales document types during initial load

Hi Gurus,
Landscape - SAP R/3 4.6 c, CRM - 4.0
We are starting the initial load for the Sales documents, item categories etc.
For the same, for the document types in R/3, we have the same document type in CRM.
Question 1- Do I need to configure the partner determination, incompletion log etc for the document type before the initial load or I can do it later once the data is in CRM.
Question 2- Is it mandatory that for all the doc types in R/3, we have the respective document type in CRM? Logically yes, if yes, where can I find the mapping? For example for OR in R/3, there is a TA in CRM.
Request someone to answer this ASAP.
thanks
Yash

Hi Yash,
I think the behavior is just use the same code
of Transaction Type in CRM and Order Type in R/3.
Since partner determiniation using different partner
function codes in CRM and R/3, maintained or not in R/3,
you may still need to maintain it again in CRM.
For document, what you can do just create same document
type (Transaction type) for R/3 and CRM. And depends upon
you sceneario (in CRM there are several scenarios such as
document created in CRM and transfered to R/3 Or download
R/3 document into CRM - no transaction in CRM).
Especially for partner, you may need to setup data
transfer CRM to R/3 or R/3 to CRM in CRM configuration.
And in R/3 you need to define it in tcode PIDE.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gun.

Replicating data once again to CRM after initial load fails for few records

My question (to put it simply):
We performed an initial load for customers and some records error out in CRM due to invalid data in R/3. How do we get the data into CRM after fixing the errors in R/3?
Detailed information:
This is a follow up question to the one posted here.
Can we turn off email validation during BP replication ?
We are doing an initial load of customers from R/3 to CRM, and those customers with invalid email address in R/3 error out and show up in SMW01 as having an invalid email address.
If we decide to fix the email address errors on R/3, these customers should then be replicated to CRM automatically, right? (since the deltas for customers are already active) The delta replication takes place, but, then we get this error message "Business Partner with GUID 'XXXX...' does not exist".
We ran the program ZREPAIR_CRMKUNNR provided by SAP to clear out any inconsistent data in the intermediate tables CRMKUNNR and CRM_BUT_CUSTNO, and then tried the delta load again. It still didn't seem to go through.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Max

Subramaniyan/Frederic,
We already performed an initial load of customers from R/3 to CRM. We had 30,330 records in R/3 and 30,300 of them have come over to CRM in the initial load. The remaining 30 show BDOC errors due to invalid email address.
I checked the delta load (R3AC4) and it is active for customers. Any changes I make for customers already in CRM come through successfully. When I make changes to customers with an invalid email address, the delta gets triggered and data come through to CRM, and I get the BDOC error "BP with GUID XXX... does not exist"
When I do a request load for that specific customer, it stays in "Wait" state forever in "Monitor Requests"
No, the DIMA did not help Frederic. I did follow the same steps you had mentioned in the other thread, but it just doesn't seem to run. I am going to open an OSS message with SAP for it. I'll update the other thread.
Thanks,
Max
