Multiple Finance EBS as source system ETL to one OBIA finance Analytics

Hello every one!
My scenario is I have 3 geographical locations all running Oracle EBS finance but may be with different release (R11 and R12). Consider:
Company A - EBS finance R11
Company B - EBS finance R12
Company C - EBS finance R11
all these companies have fairly standard and similar finance structure but there are possibility of some changes in structure.
All these companies may or may not have OBIA finance analytics set up respectively and I do not care about it.
What my goal is to build OBIA finance Analytics on Company D (headquarters) which shows results from all the above A, B & C locations under multi-org structure.
IT should show combined result and also individual companies at Company D.
I have well good experience in setting up single organization... but I want to know what things do I need to consider to take care
- setting up Multi-Org structure Like this
Company D (this can be static)
|_ Company A
|_ Company B
|_ Company C
- what if the three companies finance structure is little different what things I need to consider.
Thank you every one...Efforts appreciated...

Hi Bivin & Srini,
I am working on this and keep post my updates.please do from your end too.
Thanks &Regards,

Compare dates coming form Source system & update higher one in target syste

hi all,
 Mt reqt is to compare dates coming from source system & update highere one
Ex--) E1EDP01 has been repeated 3 times in Idoc segemnt E1EDP20 , then date with higher one need to be updated in target system
like 14/12/08
 15/12/08
 16/12/08
Here 16/12/08 need to be updated first & then the other ones one by one.
Anybody guide me in comparing these dates functionality .
Send me the code !
Regards
Chaithanya

Hi Michael,
 I was unable to trace the exact issue of how to track E1EDP01 Dates & compare it.
I had created UDF to compare dates coming from E1EDP01 Segment
following is my code --->
// This UDF return 1 value for highest date and 0 for not highest date.
DateFormat mydateformat = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyy");
Date mydate1 = null;
Date heightDt = null;
for (int i=0; i <a.length; i++)
if (a.equals(ResultList.CC)) continue;
try{
 mydate1 = mydateformat.parse(a);
 if (i==0)
 heightDt = mydateformat.parse(a);
 if (heightDt .before(mydate1))
 heightDt = mydate1;
catch(Exception e){}
//result.addValue( mydateformat.format(heightDt));
for (int i=0; i <a.length; i++)
try{
mydate1 = mydateformat.parse(a);
if (heightDt .equals(mydate1))
result.addValue( "1");
else
result.addValue( "0");
catch(Exception e){}
My Problem here is in my Idoc if there are Multiple E1EDP20 segments & here date would be repeated 4 times . I have to compare highest date out of 4 & send it to the target system.
which I have done it, but here my problem is the segment E1EDP01 is repeated & iam unable to find highest date individually to the node level.
Sorry I should have explained this before only.
Can Anyone guide me in comparing the date at segment level.

Move old Source System to new one.

Hi,
we are facing this situation.
Our DEV BW (BW1) system has two source system on ECC5 (EC1+EC2)
The ECC landscape is subject to release upgrade (to ECC6).
We have created a new DEV system (EC3), copy of PROD, and performed the upgrade.
The development team, ask us to move the structure of EC1 and EC2 in to the new EC3.
Actually, all the sourcesystem (EC1/EC2/EC3) are connected on BW1
Usually, i use the BDSL + RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL but only to exchange them for the source (ex: from EC1 to EC3).
In this case, the developer ask us to convert two sourcesystem.
Could you tell me what kind of procedures i have to use in order to copy the transfer rules, hierarchies and so on the new source system (EC3)?
Regards,
Cristian

Thanks Sidharth.
Actually i map ECC1 to ECC3 with BDLS.
Now, i'll will follow the transport copy procedure (Des Gallagher):
RSA1
Transport Connection
Button 'Collection mode' set to 'start manual collection'
Press 'Source system assignment' button (it's the one left of the
'Request BEx' button)
Select the source systems you want to save the transfer rules for
Continue
Button 'Grouping' set to 'Save for system copy'
At the left border click on 'Object Types'
Extend tree 'Source system' LSYS
Double click on 'Select objects'
Select the source systems you want to collect objects for
the source system is now displayed in the right box
Press collecting button ('gather dependent objects')
this may take a while
Right click on the root of the tree and select
Transport all below
Expand the whole tree and check if there isn't an object which is locked
by an other open transport request !!
(the column 'Transport request' has to be empty !)
Press the transport button
=> A transport request is created. Check if the request contains all
ISMP and ISTS objects.
Release the request! (BEFORE deleting the corresponding source system
connection!)
In this way, i obtain a CR with the ECC2, so i should reimport the object (STMS?RSA1transportTool?), and maintain the mapping (HOW?STEPS?)
thanks!
Cristian
Re

Multiple R/3 Source systems for BW(3.5)

Hi,
A BW system being linked with multiple R/3 source systems , is a very common scenario. But could someone please help me out with a strategy doc / how -to etc. on the best possible way to install business content for multiple R/3 sources .
thanks

Hi Shurobhi,
This is a common scenario. there is not much difference between single source system and multiple source systems.
If you have data coming from 3 source systems you dont need to create 3 cubes and update seperately. you can update 3 source systems data into one single cube. For Example: FI AP Line Item data : You have source systems 1 2 and 3. you can use standard business content ODS and Cube to update FI AP data. Here first, init for source system 1 followed by delta for source system 1, then init for source system 2 followed by delta 2, finally init for 3 followed by delta 3. From here on you can load data to info cube in the above layer.
Thanks

Infosource 8ZISCMS10 is not defined in the source system

Hi Gurus,
I got an issue when loading the data with in SAP BW (Info source is ODS),It threw an error message stating "Infosource 8ZISCMS10 is not defined in the source system",
Could any one of you help me in this regrad plz,
N:B: I have activated the transfer structure through RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL and replicated the data sources before loading...

When u activate DSO/ODS (say ZISCMS10) it creates datasource (8ZISCMS10) & Infosource (8ZISCMS10)
U can check these at ...... Modeling --> Datasources -> BI -> BI source system name. If it is missing .. reactivate DSO/ODS.
If the load is failing in QA, u should rereactivate DSO/ODS in DEV and transport that to QA.. After transport.. make sure datasource (8ZISCMS10) & Infosource (8ZISCMS10) appears in QA (Modeling --> Datasources -> BI -> BI source system name)

Prevent objects being transported for Sandpit source system

Hi there,
We have a 3-tier systems landscape for BI: DEV, QAS, PRD (we do not have a sandpit BI). In our R/3 development system we habe two clients which are both setup as source system for BI DEV. One of the clients in R/3 DEV serves as sandpit in that system and objects can't be transported from it. However, since this client is connected to BW, objects related to this source system can be transported from BI DEV. We want to prevent that, so only the objects in BW DEV for the real R/3 DEV development client are allowed.
Is there a way in BI to configure a source system in such a way (other than via security roles/profiles), that objects related to this source system can't be transported?
Cheers.

Sander, you should post this in BASIS also. By posting in both the forums, you have a better chance.
In case BASIS folks say that they cannot stop this, try this work-around.
In BWQ, in RSA1, there is a Source System Mapping in one of the tools menu. There, your DEV is mapped to QAS, etc.
There, you may have your R/3 DEV mapped to R/3 QAS.
See if there is an entry for your R/3 Sandpit/Sandbox. If there is one, leave the mapping for it as Blank.
See, the only Objects that are related to Source System in BW are InfoSource-DataSources. If there is no mapping for SOurce System in BWQ, then the transport will fail.
This is just a thought.

Source System Assignment while Installing Business Content

Hi,
I have a new R/3 source system in BW (one R/3 system already exists). When I'm installing business content for say an Infosource and before, even with a succesful install , the new source system assignment is not taking place in the infosource and neither are the packages (for the new source system) being installed. The datasource (for the new source system) remains unassigned.
Please Advice
Thanks

Hi Shurobhi
with your new R/3 source system are you able to see the datasources - using right clik on source system & then select datasources overview. IF not then you need to check if the source system connection is done with metadata repository replication or not. If that is also done then ensure that you have installed all business content datasources using RSA5 in your R/3 system.
On BW side, while installing transfer rules and infopackages, make sure that this new R/3 source system is checked on in source system Box - X icon on business content screen. Then only you would be able to see transfer rules and infopackages & install them.
Hope this helps

R/3 Source system creation

Hello,
I wish to add an R/3 system to my BI 7.0 system. What exactly do I need to enter in the "Create SAP Source System" window? Should I leave backgrounduser as ALEREMOTE? I dont see any option of automatic source system creation. Could u pls help me with a step by step solution.
Thanks. POINTS WILL BE GIVEN.

Hi
Defining the source system
As of release 640, you can use upper and lower case characters for R/3 user passwords. This is only uppercase characters for previous releases. Remember that your passwords are automatically converted to uppercase in previous Basis releases.
As BI 7.0 System has Basis 700 below, upper and lower case passwords are important.
So, for defining source system is almost same as ordinary BW Source System definitions.
One more important thing is that you have to take into account the EDI Ports. This may cancel your system definition if the <spsettings are not correct. This settings must be controlled on both BI and Source System.
Here are the steps to configure Source System with Basis Relase lower than 640 in BI 70:
1. Take a look at table EDIPORT of your BW system and note the next free number for the field "Port". This is the adjacent number of the highest entry like 'A0000000123' for example. In this case e.g. take '124'.
2. Choose transaction "snum" and object "ediport".
Select "number ranges" from the menu "Goto" and here the button "status".
Change the CURRENT NUMBER of the ranges to the next free number you noted from table EDIPORT.
If the number range of your BW system is correct please check the same in your OLTP system.
3. Call TCODE RSA1 on BI System in BI Client.
4. Select Source Systems on Left Menu
5. Left Click SAP System and Choose Create
6. Important think is, as source system has Basis Release Lower than 640, You have to give All Passwords (For BI ALEREMOTE User and for Source System ALEREMOTE User) in UPPERCASE.
My Favourite is giving RFCCPIC for ALEREMOTE Passwords.
7. It Must Be OK.
Assign points if it helps

Add new source system to BI

Hello,
Our requirement is to load data from a different R3 client to which we dont have a connection yet.
The idea is to create a new connection but keep the existing one.
Is there any automated tool to do this? We would like to avoid the manual creation of all infosources and transformations from the new source system, but to copy them from the existing one.
We found that there is a tool for replacing the current source system with another one (BDLS), but we just want to create this new one in paralel with the current source.
Thanks!!
Pablo

Hi,
what you can do is, create a transport request containing all source system related things like the infosource/datasource assignment, transfer rules... and import that transport back into your dev system. Before the import you should maintain the settings for source system after transport accordingly.

Bi content with source system connection

Hello all,
I am in BI 7.0 DEV SEVER, I WAS CONNECTED TO TWO SOURCE SYSTEMS X,Y, IN BOTH SOURCE SYSTEMS I WAS REPLICATED DATASOURCES, THEN I AM GOING TO INSTALL BUSINESS CONETENT FOR ONE CUBE WITH DATA FLOW BEFORE AND AFTER, IT WAS CONNECTING TO SOURCE SYTEM X, BUT I WANT TO USE SOURCE SYSTEM Y.
IS THERE ANY PROBLEM WHEN INSTALLING BUSINESSS CONTENT WITH ONE SOURCE SYSTEM X,EXTRACTION DONE BY OTHER SOURCE SYTEM Y.
OTHERWISE I WANT TO INSTALL BUSINESS CONTENT FROM SOURCE SYSTEM Y,WITH OUT DELETING SOURCE SYTEM X, HOW CAN I CHANGE TO SOURCE SYSTEM Y.

Hi,
you can't install BI content infocube for one source system and do the extraction in another source system.
when you are installing the BI content you can maintain source system assignment for one or more source system like X, Y for both.
if you don't have Y source system means create it or change the exiting source system..
hope this give you an idea

Question to assigning Source System for Activation

We want to assign source system for activation, before business content-InfoObject catalog activation. The steps as follows:
1.On the Data Warehousing Workbench: Business Content view from the menu choose Edit  Source System Assignment.->This step is ok, no question.
2. In the Choose source system by default? dialog box select the checkbox in the column Default assignment in the row containing the source systems you need to load data from.->Now we can see BI system as default call DEGCLNT500 displayed, in my case we only connect one R/3 system call DHHCLNT100 to BI system.
So, the question to that is shoud we select both R/3 source system and BW source system as default or just select R/3 source system as default and dis-select BW source system?
Which one should we choose, both or only R/3 source system?
Pls help, thanks!

Hi hi ni,
If what you are activating it's going to retrieve data only from R/3, then select R/3 and uncheck BW.
You can change this whenever you want, if in the future you need bw, before activating, you can change it.
This doesn't means where is going to get the data from, this is just to look for active (and replicated) datasources to connect to the business content you are activating.
Hope this helps.

Deletion of Source system

Hello,
I need help in deleting any links that exist for an old R3 system. We have migrated our source R3 system which was called SP1 to another system called SP2. Now we have datasources, DTP and update rules pertaining to the old system that we would like to delete. I tested out an option to delete the source system in the workbench by clicking under the Source system , choosing the one I wished to delete and right clicking on that and choosing Delete. I got a warning saying that its not possible to delete because the RFC connections are no longer available, which is true. I chose Ignore in the message window that popped up and that led to all the datasources, DTP and infopackages getting deleted. This seems too good to be true that we got rid of all links to the old system . What I am wondering is whether this method causes some other important data to vanish as well. Is there also a better way to delete all links to the old system.
Regards,
Jaya

Hi Jaya
As you said there is no connectivity with the source system, then you are no more using the Datasources from that source system.
Ensure that you are not using the datasources in your regulary used Infosources.
If you are using then they me be set to inactive.
As you said youa re not at all using that source system you can delete that.

Transporting with diferent source systems.

Hi experts,
I am quite new in BW.
I have been developing some thing in sap BW.
I have Development, integration and Production in both BW and R3 source system. Each one should be connected with each other. So, development with development, integration with integration and production with production.
Here comes my doubt. All i have done is in the development systems. Now I want to transport and i don't know how to do this c'ause I want all the same things but connected to a different source system, and I think that when i am transporting I will have the Integration Business Warehouse connected with the development R3 system.
What should I do to avoid this and transport all but with a connection with a different system? Can anyone give me a clue please?
Thank you all!
Artur.

How to define the PSA in source system

hi ALL:
when i double click the datasource in the source system's datasource overview , there is an message of "Transfer method 'TRFC with PSA' is not supported by the source system ", and prompt me to define the PSA in source system , but i did not known how to define the PSA in source system .can any one tell me.
thanks a lot!

Hi
This becuase of RFC connection problem
go to rsa1>right click on youe sourcesytem>>check
if the connection is not good,contact your basis

Multiple DataTargets in a BI 7.0 System to One DataSource in Source System

Currently, I do not have access to BI 7.0 system. I am wondering whether it is possible to connect MULTIPLE DataTargets of a single BI 7.0 system to ONE DataSource in the source system? I have searched the forum, but I couldn't find relevant posts. If I am not wrong, until BW 3.5, once a DataSource is assigned to an InfoSource, it can not be assigned to any other InfoSource of the same BW system. I have heard that this has changed in BI 7.0 with the new DataFlow concept.
The current requirement is that multiple DataTargets of a single BI system need to get DELTA data from the same DataSource in the source system. If this is technically possible in BI 7.0, should the source system also support such an assignment (since the DELTA load timestamps are maintained in the source system)? What source systems currently support this feature, if any? What are the appropriate tables in the source system that I need to look at to do further investigation?
All the useful inputs regarding these questions will be rewarded with points. Let me know if you need any further clarification of the requirement. Thanks!
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
But since there is only one transformation between the PSA and DataTarget, all the data (irrespective of the indicator) will flow through unless I filter on the "planning stage" indicator
You can create one transformation between Datasource and ONE DataTarget. But in your case, you have TWO datatargets. So you have to create two DTP's which can have diffrent filter parameters.
You can fill two different targets ( cube1: before manual update, cube2: after manual update) using your datasource.
For this, you need to create two transformation. Keep in mind, everytime you create a transformation you must create a DTP for data movement.
So you will have:
DS1 -- TRANS1-- DTP1 --Cube1
DS1 -- TRANS2DTP2Cube 2
In DTP1 set filter for indicator :X and DTP2 set filter for indicator :Y. Both DTP1 and DTP2 should work in delta mode.
I would suggest you to create one initialization for your DS1. if it is not possible create two infopackages for two initializations. I suppose you have the indicator in selection parameters of infopackages.
