Migration from webmethods to SAP PI 7.1

Hi All,
I need some information on migrating webmethods to PI 7.1.
We have our interfaces currently working in webmethods which call webservices in SAP.Currently legacy systems call SAP webservices through webmethods which we would like to migrate to PI 7.1.
Could I get some information on how to proceed with this?
1.Could I get the overview
2.Can I import the same structure and mappings into SAP PI?
3.Do I need to recreate the mappings or use the same from webmethods ..if they are XSLT mappings?
4.Can I use the mapping transformation done in webmethods ?
Any thoughts would be of great help
Thanks,
C

1)Only XSLT Mapping program can be reused in PI7.1,most of the times without change, sometimes it required change when you have java functions in XSLT Mapping.
Adjust your XSLT mapping programs compatible to without using XML TOOL kit option in Operation mapping.
2) To understand the web methods flow , you should have some basic /medium level of knowledge , then you can easily understand the mapping logic implemented in Web Methods.
3) When you developing interface use Web methods for only mapping logic, donu2019t try to implement the same design what developed in Web Methods. Think PI prospective. The way web methods execute interface is differ compare to PI (execution process).
4)If any java services existing in current web method interfaces, you canu2019t use the same as java mapping program in PI,in web methods we can perform state full operation from java services in web methods. But in PI it is strictly avoided performing state full operation like retrieving the data/sending data to Data base using Java map.
5) If your client forcing you to use XSLT mappings then only use, else implement the same logic using GUI mapping in PI.
6) Connecting to SAP systems and non SAP system use Adapters in PI,it is very easy . Follow standard way of communication using PI ,donu2019t try to copy from Web METHODS.

Document Migration from CRM to SAP Content Server

We are going live with SAP CRM 7.0 next week. CRM team configured some of applications like ITSM, Change Request Management and Transport Request database also as part of implementation.
We got last minute requirement that CRM team would like to go-live with current configuration with current configuration and eventually they would like to migrate all documents to Content server.
We do not have content server in place yet and planning to implement sometime in Feb. I am trying to explore ways how we can export existing documents created in CRM and migrate to Content server and link it.
Any ideas/Suggestions?
Thanks,
Miral.

In which repository are the documents currently stored in CRM? Please see if Note 688241 on 'Relocating large SAP Content Server Repositories' could be of any assistance to you.

Data migration from an old SAP 4.7-system to an new ECC6.0 System

Hello,
we have a reengineering-project, where we must migrate the old data from 4.7 to a new ECC6.0 system.
And it is not the same system.
Also there will be some data-mappings at the import.
For the import I thought the LSMW would be good. But how can I make the export??? Have you got an idea?
Thanks.
Sylvie

Hi,
From an experience which I gained after working on same scenario as u stated i can suggest u to follow following 3 steps.
Step1 Extract data into flat file using some extraction report.
Step2 Mapping program which we call as conversion program which will map data field values with proposed new values
Step3 Upload program which we have used our case as BDC reports to upload data into new system. LSMW is not preferred one as while uploading u may come come across various scenarios which are really difficult to handle using LSMW. U can also use BAPI's to upload data.

Mygrating Asset GL Balances from Legacy to SAP

Hello Gurus,
We are Migrating GL balances from legacy system to SAP system.
I would like to know whether there is any other transaction code other than OASV for fixed assets GL migration from Legacy to SAP system. Can we use F-02 transaction code for uploading Asset Balances from Legacy to SAP.
Kindly advice as we have already started Migration process.
Thanks and regards,
Vinayak

I have only used transaction code OASV to migrate asset balances.
Is there a particular reason you don't want to use OASV and use F-02 instead?

Migration of "CRONACLE for SAP solutions" to "SAP CPS for Netweaver"

Hi,
We have standalone Cronacle/CPS 6.02. We are in the process of researching about migrating to "SAP CPS for Netweaver" like SAP CPS M33. We have the following questions.
1)Is a migration path available to migrate from "CRONACLE for SAP solutions" to "SAP CPS for Netweaver" ?.
2)What are the benefits of going to "SAP CPS for Netweaver" ?.
3)Is the migration can be done by ourselves or any SAP migration consultant is required?.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Raj.

Hi Laurence, Raj,
This question is very old and I had not seen it before.
To upgrade from CPS 6.0.2 or 7.0.4 to 8.0.0 (aka M33). I do not know if SAP consultancy offers anything for this, you want to check with them. SAP might refer you to Redwood, though.
As for the differences, where do I start ... ;-)
Actually, CPS 8 is a major platform shift. Version 6 and 7 were PL/SQL-based solutions, version 8 is Java-based. You have many more possibilities built-in, such as better XBP 3.0 support, web services, SAP BusinessObjects, SAP PI/XI control, ... the list could go on forever.
Some older platforms (very, very old) are no longer supported, afaik, but you get native z/OS (mainframe) platform agents, AS/400 agents ... the user interface is platform independent, so you can access it from any OS including, but not limited to, Windows, Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X. There is even an iPhone/iPad client.
BTW, I do not know how long version 6 and 7 are supported.
The platform shift means that you might have to use a PL/SQL API in version 8. I guess it depends on how much PL/SQL you use. If most of your jobs are SAP and OS jobs, you would not even need that.

Migration from SAP BC To SAP P.I

HI Experts ,
I am required to do migration from SAP BC to SAP P.I. I would require the following Info/Help from you as i have not worked on such scenario before this!
1) What kind of challenges can be faced during migration from BC to XI?
2) What is the best practise for doing the same?
3) Can you share some scenario from where i can have some idea how to do migration?
4) Generally how much time it takes in migration activity if ther are not much interfaces involved in it?
Would appreciate your valuable inputs on the same!
I have read How to guide docs on how to do migration from BC to XI but not convinced with the content
Regards
Saras Jain

Hi Saras,
I am giving you an example senario and a how to do all the steps and why it needed. if you need more information just mail me i'll give you the concerned PDF.
Scenario
SAP Business Connector enables data exchange between an SAP system and
external systems using HTTP and e-mail. SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI)
replaces SAP Business Connector (SAP BC).
We distinguish between standard scenarios (that do not contain customer-specific
development) and individual scenarios (that do contain services or mappings created
by the customer). The following sections describe how to migrate both types of
scenarios to SAP XI.
Scenario 1 (IDoc HTTP, HTTP IDoc)
An SAP system sends an IDoc to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The IDoc is converted to
XML. It is sent to an external business partner by using HTTP.
An external business partner sends an XML document by using HTTP to SAP BC or
to SAP XI. The document is converted to an IDoc and sent to a connected SAP
system in the internal system landscape.
Scenario 2 (IDoc Mail, Mail IDoc)
An SAP system sends an IDoc to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The IDoc is converted to
XML. It is sent to an external business partner as an e-mail.
An external business partner sends an e-mail to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The
document is converted to an IDoc and sent to a connected SAP system in the
internal system landscape.
Flow Services
Flow services are services that are written in the proprietary graphical-based flow
language of SAP BC.
Java Services
Java services are services that are written in the Java language.
There are several platforms that support Java, including SAP XI. However, the data
model used in the Java services in SAP BC is proprietary.
Stylesheet Transformations
Stylesheet transformations are often used for mapping purposes. They take an XML
document as input, convert it according to rules defined in the stylesheet, which is
also an XML document, and produce an XML document as output.
The XML Stylesheet Transformation Language (XSLT) was defined by W3C (World
Wide Web Consortium), the consortium that defines most of the common standards in modern internet communication, such as HTML and SOAP.
SAP NetWeaver is the open integration and application platform from SAP. With
NetWeaver 04, there is a significant overlap between the functions of SAP
NetWeaver and SAP BC. Many functions provided by SAP BC are offered by SAP XI
as part of SAP NetWeaver, for example, conversion of an IDoc to an XML message,
mapping, routing, and adapters to connect to a large number of third-party back-end
systems. SAP BC is therefore no longer needed. New or updated SAP solutions are
based on SAP NetWeaver. Customers looking for a strategic integration solution for
the complete application landscape should therefore now favor SAP NetWeaver.
The last version of SAP BC was SAP BC 4.7, which was released in June 2003. SAP
BC has not been developed further since this release. SAP BC is not released for
any further platforms (such as Windows 2003) and does not support any further JDK
versions, including the current version (Version 1.4).
For information about the supported SAP BC versions, JDKs, and operating systems,
see SAP Note 309834. For information about the support and maintenance strategy
for SAP BC, see SAP Note 571530. Customers who still use SAP BC need to be
aware of the following:
A solution based on SAP BC cannot be a strategic, long-term solution.
A solution based on SAP BC is based on technology that was implemented in
2003 and that is no longer further developed.
SAP BC is supported on limited platforms and for limited JDKs only. Vendor
support for some of these platforms and JDK versions will soon be
discontinued.
SAP BC and SAP NetWeaver are based on different technologies: SAP BC is based
on webMethods proprietary Integration Server, whereas SAP NetWeaver is based
on open standards, such as BPEL4WS (business process execution language for
web services). Therefore, only parts of an SAP BC implementation, such as XSLT
mappings, can be migrated to a solution based on SAP NetWeaver. Any custom
programming based on SAP BC, such as SAP BC flow language, is unlikely to be
reusable in the SAP NetWeaver context.
Purpose of this Migration Guide
The purpose of this migration guide is to provide scenario-based descriptions of the
migration from a companys system landscape that uses SAP BC to exchange
documents with business partners, to a system landscape that uses SAP XI instead.
This migration guide outlines, for certain scenarios, the individual steps a company
has to take to replace an existing SAP BC implementation with SAP XI.
The basic steps in the back-end systems are:
Defining the logical systems
Maintaining the ALE distribution model
Maintaining partner profiles and EDI ports
Maintaining RFC destinations
The basic steps in the SAP XI system are:
Maintaining the System Landscape Directory
Configuring the IDoc adapter
Maintaining the receiver determinations, interface determinations, and
interface agreements
Maintaining the communication channels
The type of scenario to migrate typically has an impact on the communication channels only.
Scenario 1 IDoc/HTTP
IDoc HTTP Using SAP BC
Within the system landscape of a company, an SAP system sends an IDoc
asynchronously to SAP BC. SAP BC converts the IDoc into a standard IDoc XML
document. The fields of the IDoc are not modified, that is, the conversion does not
involve any mapping of source fields to target fields. After conversion, SAP BC uses
HTTP to send the XML document synchronously to an external URL of a business
partner.
System Landscape
An SAP system and SAP BC are installed within the same system landscape
of a company.
The following information is defined in the SAP system to allow data
exchange between the SAP system and SAP BC:
o An RFC destination and a logical system for SAP BC
o The distribution model is maintained, if necessary
The following information is defined in SAP BC:
o An SAP server with an alias is defined. For this SAP server, the
information that the SAP BC requires to connect to the SAP system is
specified.
o A listener is configured to listen to requests from the SAP system.
o A routing rule with the transport type XML is configured for the
specific sender, receiver, and message type. The routing rule
determines how a message is to be routed and where it is to be routed
to. The scenario described does not use an ACL, (Access Control List
to restrict execution permissions for this routing rule) or pre-processing
or post-processing SAP BC services.
4.2 IDoc HTTP Using SAP XI
Check the prerequisites described above under Prerequisites for Standard
Scenarios.
The IDoc adapter is used to receive an IDoc from an SAP back-end system and
convert it to XML.
The adapter used to post this XML to an external destination is the plain HTTP
adapter.
To set up the communication channel, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the routing rule in SAP
Business Connector.
In the Administration View, choose
Adapters Routing to navigate to
Routing Rules.
2. Select the details of the relevant routing rule.
To display the details, choose the green triangle (Edit).
Transport is typically set to XML and a URL is specified. You can use this
URL in your SAP XI settings.In some cases, Transport is set to
B2B Service and the parameters Server Alias, Folder and Service
exist. This is the same as when Transport is set to XML and has the
URL http://<serverhost>:<port>/invoke/<folder>/<service>.
You can find <serverhost> and<port> in the definition of the
remote server under Settings >Remote Server in the Administration
View.
3. Set up the communication channel in the Integration Directory using the parameters from the SAP BC routing rule.
Use the following settings:
Adapter Type: HTTP Receiver
Transport Protocol: HTTP 1.0
Message Protocol: XI Payload in HTTP Body
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
Addressing Type: URL Address
Target Host, Service Number,and Path need to be set in accordance with the SAP BC routing rule. HTTP Proxy Host and HTTP Proxy
Port can be set if required.All other parameters have no corresponding values in SAP BC and should be set to their default values.

           I'll get all the required data with field in an excel file.
             Does any standard transaction exist for it ? Or how to go ahead with it ?
Thanks and regards,

Hi
If you are checking for CREATE option then Sales Doc Type
For more Info goto SWO1 transaction -> BUS2032 --> DIsplay --> Execute --> There SELECT the method which you want to perform... There you can fine the MANDATORY parameters also....
Or in DISPLAY mode PLACE Cursor on the Required Method and CLick the PARAMETERS button on toolbar...
That will show the MANDATORY parameters...

SAP R/3 4.7 Migration from HP-UX to Windows

While export I had given "1100" as the code page and before starting import I modified the xml by removing the "Type numeric" and later during the import in selection field I couldn't enter the "MDMP" as it is allowing only numeric values.

hi jyothi ,
   there are lot of ways of doing it depending on data upload volume it will be decided .
1) thru abap bdc program which directly uses XL sheet data and creates SO using bapi/FMs.
2) using scat.functional consultant should be good enough to use this.
3)lsmw-laborious procedure but achievable.

Data migration from legacy system to SAP

hi all,
could you please post some docs on migration from legacy system to SAP system., also the problems faced while migration and best practices in data migration
regards
sridharan

Hi ,
I require few details from you.
1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.
