MRP Data in BW Has anyone did this before?

Question

Folks, I am trying to get the MRP data into BW and found that I could use the 2LIS_03_S194 extractor.....but here are a few things I am struggling with:
1. It cannot support Delta...
2. I am getting an error message when I extract the data or even do a RSA3 on the data source, the message reads "Faulty DataSource 2LIS_03_S194 or error in LIS environment for S194"
Here is what I did
1. Install data source from RSA5
2. LBW0 (This gives an error "Generation not possible in SAP name Range" so I guess we do not need to generate the data source at all.
3. If I look at the generation Log, it says this information strucutre cannot be used for SAP BW
4. I used the program RMCBMRP2 and filled the S194 table and dsaw that it has data in it
5. Next when I did a RSA3 it fails with the message I gave earlier "Faulty DataSource 2LIS_03_S194 or error in LIS environment for S194"
also is it recommended to go for full loads everyday ? or can we just do a date based selective load every daya after the first full load?

Answer 1

Ram,
Try this:
1. Delete the data in S194 table using transaction LBW2
2. Fill the table S194 by running program RMBCMRP2 with transaction SE38
3. Fill the following parameters for the initial load
From Data: Some date in the past
To Data: Current Date – 1
4.After filling the table, log in to BW and run the full package which will load all the records into the cube.
5.For delta, schedule the job in R/3 by setting up a variant for the program.
a.Variant for the program should be set as specified below
b.Do the same setting for ‘From’ and ‘To’ dates
6.After saving the variant, schedule the job on R/3 side.
7.Info Package configuration for daily loads on BW side.
Use the package with above configuration in the process chain so as to get yesterdays data.
Note: One important things to keep in mind is that R/3 job should be scheduled after 24:00 hours so it picks ‘yesterdays’ date and the same holds true for the BW package.
For some reason if anytime you have to drop the data in the cube, then you will have to perform the setup from step 1 to get complete data.
