Migration from Business Connector to XI

Experts,
when migrating from BCo to XI, what is the approach?
What r the things that can be considered?
How can we compare XI and BC?
Any links should help me.
Thanks,

Re:Upgrading from Business Connector to Xi

Hi Guys,
Can anybody plz help me how to upgrade from business connector ti XI
Thanks in advance

Hi Hari,
If you are interested to get a free evaluation on the level of complexity of your BC projects and the amount of work required for the migration please contact us and we can perform this evaluation and estimation for you.
Our product BC2XI is the only BC to PI migration product which is [Netweaver content certified|http://www.sap.com/ecosystem/customers/directories/SoftwareISVSolutions.epx?context=21B87D61C0F646A22B2A6DB254A010CA8C9C141B7529F029910FE6FF9EEEC5A701BF20EED61AC07159D98BAA068EBE1B8C5C7665EA2226374E942CF1D2A49D202711A97F135182CC%7c681CA45EAFF1066138C1B9B28AACD541&response=shared] and the only product which you can actually see a demonstration of (go to [http://www.sisusoftware.com]). We hear about other products, but these don't seem to have any public availability (at least which one could see).
It is completely feasible to automate the migration of BC records, flows, flow elements, graphical maps, 100+ of the BC built-in functions, output templates, etc. it is just very, very complex

RFC Error while trying to access function module from business connector

Hi,
I am getting the following RFc exceptions in BC server when we invoke the service pub.sap.client:invoke fail as a flow step in Idoc_Status_Add(this service is calling a function module in sap namely ZYBC_IDOC_STATUS_ADD_FROM_BC which Adds status to Idoc (from Business Connector).But no trace of failures are recorded in sap side
except 1: rfc_failure in BC trace files under monitoring.I need to know the root cause of these errors as the same services have run finely later and IDOCs were also processed successfully without any problem.

could anyone throw light on how this kind of error can be resolved and why it occured?
Thanks.

What does the RFC trace file and log say? Has there been any dump on the SAP server? Check the logs and transaction st22 in your SAP system to see if the RFC-module has dumped.
My guess is the problem is in the RFC-module, I think you should start looking there.

Idoc outbound from business connector

Hi,
I'm trying to map values to idoc from business connector(4.6). The flow is
map
transformhierarchytoflat
ale outbound process.
When I test the application, it's showing a null pointer exception . I have doubt in what all values should i give for control records ??
Shall i create a new routing rule for this ?
Any help or suggestion will be of great help .
Thanks in advance.

HI,
You are getting the Null Pointer Exception due to missing of Values in any of the context variables or the fields from mapping on target side.
Please check the data that you are passing may have any null values and whcih are not acceptable. Test the message mapping with test Tab.
The Mandatory control records, such as Sender/ receiver Ports, Partner Profiles etc, you need to pass.
Thanks

Where can I find information on migrating from Business Objects 5 to XI R2?

We want to migrate several Business Objects implementations - some of which are Business Objects 5 and some Business Objects 6 to consolidate them into a XI R2 environment.
I have the document that describes migration from 6.x to XI R2 but what is the process for migrating from Business Objects 5. Do I need to migrate from 5 to 6 and then follow the 6.x to XI R2 migration?
Any pointers to additional hints and tips on migration or how to estimate how much effort is involved would also be welcome.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Following are the detailed steps for migration via Import Wizard:
1] Go to Start > Programs > Business Objects XI Release 2 > BusinessObjects Enterprise > Import Wizard.
2] The Welcome dialog box appears. Click Next.
Setting source and destination environments:
3] In the Specify source environment dialog box, set the following:
u2022 Source: Business Objects Enterprise BO 6.5.x.
u2022User Name:
u2022 Password: visor
BOMain key
Note: Do not check the Import Application Foundation contents option since you are not performing Performance Management migration at this time.
Click Next.
4] The Warning page appears. Click Next.
Note: The source repository can store any file, not just supported agnostic documents. Since the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 architecture requires a plug-in for each file extension, it does not import unsupported files (for example, .zip files and as .svg documents used in corporate dashboards).
5] The Specify destination environment page appears. Set the:
u2022 Destination: Business Objects Enterprise BOXI R2
u2022 User Name:
u2022 Password:
u2022 Domain key file to: Default drive: \Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2
Click Next.
6] Select the types of objects you want to import in this stage of the importing process. At a later stage, you select the objects themselves.
u2022 Select the option u2018Import universes u2018.
Click Next.
7] Import options for universes and connections dialog box appears.
Select the third option: Import all the universes and connections that the selected Web Intelligence and Desktop Intelligence documents use directly.
8] The Please choose a merge scenario dialog box appears. Select I want to merge the source system to destination system and check the automatically rename top-level folders that match top-level folder on the destination system option.
Click Next.
9] The Incremental Import dialog box appears.
You may need to import some objects more than once from the source repository to the destination repository.
In this situation, you have the following update options:
u2022 Overwrite object contents
You select the types of objects for which the content overwrite applies:
u2022 Documents (including dashboards and analytics)
u2022 Universes
u2022 Connections
When you re-import an object, it will completely overwrite and replace the matching object (and its associated files) that you imported earlier.
u2022 Overwrite object rights
When you re-import an object, its associated security rights will overwrite the rights of the matching object you imported earlier.
If you decided not to import security in the Security Migration Options dialog box, then the Overwrite object rights option is not relevant, and is therefore not available.
If you don't select any overwrite options, the matching object in the destination repository will not change when you try to import it again.
Note: This dialog box appears only if you select update as the import scenario.
Click Next.
10] Select the specific universe
Click Next
11] Information Collection complete dialog box appears.
Click Finish
12] Import Progress dialog box appears.
Click Done
Hope this helps !!
Please revert in case of any queries.

Can't create DTP for cube migrated from business content to 2004s

I am in the process of converting 3.5 Business Content InfoProviders to the new model for 2004s.
Master data was not a problem, but Im having a hard time getting InfoCubes to migrate.
I installed 0PUR_C03 from Business Content and replicated the DataSource into the Data Warehouse.
I right-clicked 2LIS_02_S013, selected Additional Functions, then chose Transformation erzeugen (a.k.a. Create Transformation in English).
The transformation is generated with no errors and it was activated. The DataSource is migrated automatically in the process.
Then, I went to add the Data Transfer Process and that is where I got stuck.
I right-clicked the cube and took Create DTP. For source type, I selected datasource. A dialog box then shows the objects associated with the cube, including the converted infosource, but nothing is highlighted for me to choose from, and I cant complete the process of creating the DTP.
Can anyone tell me where I might have gone wrong?

u got it...

Send IDOC from Business Connector to SAP faster

Hi Developer!
I need to send a very lot of IDOC converted from XML files from the Business Connector to SAP. The XML files are in different directories pro business partner, but they have a same type (ISU_MSCONS).
My problem, that the import take a lot of time. Only in every 3 seconds (IDOC creation time) gets (or works up?) the SAP one IDOC. I start diferent services pro partner at the same time to import the IDOCs, but I couldnt short the 3 second work time in the SAP. So you can count it easy, that in 1 minute I can import 20, in 1 hour 1200, in 1 day 28800 IDOCs instead of 100.000.
It is really parallel import? Have anybody any idea to make the import more faster. I know (asked the SAP Administrator) so, one BC - SAP connection (Program_ID) has more pools (= threads) in the SAP at the same time.
Thanks any help,
Charlie

Hi Satish,
You can achieve this requirement
1)If your external system going to support web service cals then send IDoc from External system as a web service, in PI use sender side SOAP and receiver side IDoc receiver channel to send IDoc.
or
2)Use proxy program ,implement the same ALE logic in PI.
or
3)Copy the Extenal IDoc message in to file folder as XML,then use file adapter to pick up this message and send it SAP using IDoc.

Thanks for your support on this eai.

Laurent.

ok, I think we do not need the save/loadPipeline things, because you can debug the flow without that. I first thought you act as HTTP server, but you issue the client call in the flow itself.
Looking at the logs more carefully, it shows for example:
Copy failed: (Simple) No source data available: to=/returnedStatusCode(0), from=/returnHttp(0)/cXML(0)/Response(0)/Status(0)/@code(0)
But you say have that input:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.011/cXML.dtd">
<cXML version="1.2.011" payloadID="20080825171850716.18637uTQ9ExzheaK+H6b7O9oCAQWPzHA-9355222.8b3632def70da7220004d0b6" timestamp="2008-08-25T17:18:50-CEST">
<Response>
<Status code="500">No cXML document received from sender.</Status>
</Response>
</cXML>
So we see that your mappings assumptions do not match the result structure.
The other problem is that you get a status 500 and do not receive a cXML document, but that might be ok, depending on what parameters you pass to the other HTTP server. At least, you get a meaningful error message back from the server, meaning communication is ok.
I suggest you first correct those "copy failed" issues and then check by single-stepping where exactly the flow fails and check that input again.
By the way, when I feed the above cXML into recordToDocument, it works fine. Did you specify other input parameters besides "node" (e.g. recordName) ? And again, are you on Core Fix 8 ?

Migration from Business Area to Profit centre

Hi All,
My client currently uses the business area functionality for management reporting (to capture brand specific financial data). Due to the inherent challenges encountered using business area the strategy now is to migrate to profit center accounting. Id need to establish a road map for the migration and was wondering if anyone has any pointers on how to approach this requirement.
Thanks and regards
Frank

Hi,
My ex-company used to use BA for reporting, and subsequently they moved over to PCA.... with minimal impact of course.
A few considerations :
1. Is your PCA active? Rightfully the profit centres are usually set up as statistical cost collector.... but you might need to check if there is any configuration that prevents cost/revenue from posting into PCA
2. Is the hierarchy in PCA properly set up? Functionally speaking, BA is no difference to PCA since they are both measuring the business by funcational area.... You can create standalone hierarchies in PCA to capture the business reporting, such as legal reporting structures, or Line of Business structures.
3. What kind of reporting is used for Business area.... are they present in PCA?
I think you'd have to think through the steps carefully... if point 1 is met, the change in reporting would be simple enough. Otherwise, you would have to consider how to bridge the data gap.
Hope this helps.

Migrate from BC 4.7 to XI 3.0

Hi
We have a requirement from one of the customer to migrate from Business Connector 4.7 to XI 3.0
Is there any standard way to migrate frm BC to XI? Kindly share any documents..

Hi,
there's one document:
https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700005272252005E/BC2XIMig-RZ.pdf
but basically you can migrate your xslt mappings
only but you can reuse many interfaces
RFC (no qRFC in standard as it was with BC),
IDOC, http etc.
also no DSP pages so if have many DSP pages you have
to recreate them

Copying a Business Connector System

Hi,
I'm in the process of migrating our business connector system to another server. The server will be built on the original OS and Business Connector release.
Is there a way which I can just copy over the business connector settings to the new server or do I require a re-installation. How can I copy across the configuration?
I appreciate your suggestions!
Thanks for your assistance.

Hi,
you can do a basic installation and then just copy the folder sapbc47 or whatever.
All the configuration will be included as it is under this folder.
So here are the steps:
1.make the installation
2.using file explorer rename the installed server folder lets say sapbc47
3.Copy the contents of the previous installation at the installed folder sapbc47.
All the configuration will be included.
you can start the server from windows command under sapbc47/server/bin/server.bat -log none -debug 5 or by windows services if you have installed it as a service..

Business connector developer-Error message 'No IDOC found in input'

Hi,
Please note that this query is related to business connector developer not to XI.
I have created a flow service based on an IDOC. When I tried to test the service from the business connector developer it gives me an error 'No idoc found in input'. I have done the setting based on the business connector configuration guide. The idoc also send to the port successfully.
Can anyone guide me how to trigger the test from business connector developer for an idoc.
Thanks
Jim.

Hi,
Probably you would have created the routing today, with valid from todays date. But the order you are creating may be with start date in past and system is not able to find and valid routing for the day.
I would suggest you to remove both the Basic "Start" and "End" and change the scheduling type to "Current date Scheduling", now enter. If system still not finding the routing, use the function "Read PP Master data".
