New ECC system maintenance in MII

Hi,
Need to change ECC system ID in MII 12.1.system and respective connections to ME 5.2
kindly guide for configuring details
Thanks in advance

Hi Sergiy,
Thanks for the reply.
I hope you are mentioning the section 4.2 in ME 5.2 installation guide. Please correct me If I am wrong.
I have below queries in that SAPMEINT CTC section
1) If we run the CTC task , will it create a new ME site (or) need to enter the existing ME site/password details?
2) What I should enter in the field "SAPMEINT user / password" under Wizard 5 MII settings ?
Since its mentioned as optional..can we leave it blank and continue?
Please clarify.
Thanks in advance

Data Migration from R3 to new ECC System

Hello,
We are doing a fresh implementation for SAP MDM. Currently we have 3 SAP R/3 systems and 1 non-R3 system (BPCS system). One of the project goals is to do data migration from all these 4 systems into a new SAP ECC system and to MDM for Vendor Master, Customer Master and Material Master. My manager says that we need Business Objects tool to Migrate these data. But, my question is that is it not possible to achive this through XI/PI itself ? Can anyone let me know the entire process in XI/PI as to how do I receive the Idocs from R/3, convert into XML and then send it to the new ECC system in Idoc format ?
Thks & Rgds,
Hema

Hi Gandhi,
You have SAP MDM, BPC and R/3 systems in your landscape, when you are migrating data to new ECC system, what is the role of mdm, did you moving the same data to MDM to avoid duplicate/redundant data??is there any data migration from R/3 to MDM(any integration required)or MDM to R/3,
You have to develop different interfaces to transfer data from MDM to ECC, BPC to ECC.definelty you required one middleware, the option definitely SAP PI. it offers very easy of integration between MDM and R/3 system, you can use MDM-PI adapter to connect to directly MDM syndicator file port from there you can pull the XML file and convert it in to IDoc format use Receiver IDoc adapter in PI, the same way we can integrate BPC system with R/3.
Search in sdn, there are some scenarios integration of R/3 and MDM using PI, refer those links, if still you have any doubts let me know,

ADR3 table updation in new ECC system for customer address

When ever customer is created using VAP1 transaction and maintain telephone and fax number it used to get update in ADR3 table.
in new ECC system unless and until the telephone and fax is maintained in Business area of Contact person it is not getting updated in ADR3 table.
Can u please let me know in which table it is getting saved if we are not maintaining these in business area in ECC?

Sreedevi only fax number along with extension is getting updated in ADR3 but telephone number & extrnsion is getting updated in ADR2.

New ECC system with new org structure into existing CRM 7 system

Hi,
We have a situation where we have a current ECC 6 system which distributes organisation structure to a CRM 7 system using ALE (org units, positions, personnel numbers).
We are implementing a new ECC 6 instance as a result of a merger which will have a new org structure, the CRM 7 system remains.
My question is has anyone dealt with a similar situation where a new org structure is distributed into an existing CRM or SRM system? Any lessons you could share? Or tips for how to approach this?
Thanks
Marc

You need to schedule program RHALENI in Insert mode to achieve the same

RFC Call to ECC system

Hello Friends,
Need input from you with regards to the Problem/Solution mentioned below:
Our requirement is that during the load of FI data from our Centralised ECC System, we want to retrieve the Billing document details from a new ECC System. Since we need only the Billing Doument and Count of Item data from this new ECC System we dont want to proceed with the regular way of Establising Source System connection and creating new Datasources etc.
The Solution we have thought is to set up a RFC Connection and Execute a Function Module during the Routine execution in BW. Thie Function Module will be executd in the new ECC system and will retrieve the required Billing details.
If you have faced similar situation and implemented any other solution then please let me know.
Any help is appreciated!
Regards,
Nitin S.

Hi Nitin ,
The solution sounds good . The only problem which i found in this is suppose for any reason your RFC does not work for a day or two . Then the FI data will be loaded without billing information . It will be a difficult task to reload the FI data again for the missing Billing Information .
I assume that your FI postings are happening in Centralized ECC while correspong Billing Docs are in New ECC . So the two ECCs have a RFC conncection between them :
Following approaches can be taken :
1) As per your solution you are going to call the RFC in BI . Instead of doing it in BI , do the same thing in the enahncement of the FI Datasource i.e make a call from centralized ECC to your new ECC . This will affect the extraction performance , but your loading performance will be improved .
2) Is there a possibility that you can flow your billing documents to your centralized ECC and then do a datasource enhacement of the FI datasource .
Hope the above reply was helpful.

Single Portal to connect to multiple back end ECC system

Hi Experts,
I want to connect existing SAP Portal 7.3 to new ECC(ECC EHP 5) System for ESS MSS.
The requirement is that my existing backend system (ECC EHP 5 ) should also exist. i.e. I should able to use current portal to connect to existing SAP ECC System as well as new ECC System with single portal .
Please let me know how it works in ABAP Webdynpro?
Do let me know how this can be achieved ? Is the same portal url be used to access the 2 different backend system for ESS MSS.
-Pravesh

Hi Pravesh,
for using different backend systems in the same portal, just adapt these systems in your system landscape and define your system aliases in appropriate iViews or write a DSR service.

New ECC 6.0 system on z/OS - DB2 - good choice?

Hi
We are considering a new ECC 6.0 system on z/OS - DB2. Any experiences with the advantages/disadvantages of this platform would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Omer certainly has more experience with DB2 for z/OS and running SAP on it. He has written lots of great articles on ittoolbox that have been really helpful. In response to his post:
1. rdisp/wp_auto_restart is defaulted to zero, meaning that SAP will never automatically restart a work process. SAP note 101717 (which details how/why to change the default) says "The solution described here should only be used if all other options are exhausted since this is not an elimination of the actual cause of the problem but only a workaround.". I have not personally experienced needing to change this parameter from the default outside of DB2 for z/OS. It is recommended in the SAP for DB2 z/OS Admin Guide to set this parameter to the equivalent of 1 day in seconds. This would seem to acknowledge either a known and unfixed memory leak in DB2 for z/OS (up to and including v9), or is perhaps a precaution because of the 2 gig thread storage limit. As I stated before, it adds no value and causes useless reconnect information to be put into the SM21 system logs.
2. I think perhaps our issue with extents is because our storage system was not setup from the beginning to enable extent constraint relief. Setting the secondary extent quantity to a sufficient size for each tablespace is certainly one way to ensure that extents don't become a problem. With over 70,000 tables in ECC 6.0, even trying to manage 1% of the tables this way could be quite time consuming. Setting ZPARM MGEXTSZ to the SAP recommended value of yes allows DB2 to use the sliding algorithm and make each additional secondary extent bigger and bigger. Even so, we've had surprises (and thanks to Murphy usually off-hours) where there was still plenty of space left on our DB2 volumes but the total number of extents for a particular dataset or the total extents on a non-full volume exceeded the maximum. All that really says is that SAP on DB2 for z/OS appears to require more careful storage monitoring than on other platforms. It does allow for more flexibility, however.
3. Being able to manage individual tables and/or tablespaces is an advantage, though it does not come without the cost of additional overhead for the DBA. As for restoring and individual table, this is certainly possible but it would be best practice to work with SAP support to make sure all table dependencies are resolved and that data integrity is maintained when restoring an individual table. The DBA should not be expected to know about all of the table relationships with the 70,000 tables in ECC 6.0. That would seem to limit the advantages of an individual table restore.
4 & 5. I don't have a lot of experience with virtual memory monitoring on z/OS, but I can understand why it would have vastly superior capabilities compared to other platforms. When memory is expensive (as in thousands of dollars per gigabyte) and when DB2 still has some components which are restricted to 2 gig, it absolutely makes sense to have very detailed tools to manage memory usage.
Regarding sizing... I'm sure that mistakes are made quite often regardless of platform. It was exactly my point that it does not usually add significant cost to increase the resources on commodity hardware. My experience has been that commodity hardware vendors usually size the hardware too big anyway. Whether that is to allow some flexibility or simply to increase their sales, I am not sure. Contrast that to this recent success story for SAP on zSeries:
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/success/cssdb.nsf/cs/STRD-7NGMA9?OpenDocument&Site=gicss67sap&cty=en_us
"Colacem had to come up with more money for the upgrade - but IBM offered it to us at a price that we regard as very fair"
This customer had to upgrade to a Z10 after their Z9 ran out of gas, right in the middle of their first SAP implementation. I can only guess that the additional cost was not insignificant.
6. Thus far we have not experienced any strange problems with other databases and SAP, but we are using database versions that have been certified by SAP for 4+ years. In fairness though, we're not a huge implementation with individual tables in the terabytes.
Being on a platform with a small percentage customers has its disadvantages in trying to get product changes made as well. As an example, where is the Adobe Document Services support for Linux on zSeries? I know of at least one other customer that wanted this. Although adobe is now available for other 64bit platforms that run SAP, it is still not available for Linux on zSeries.
There is also the issue of third party SAP partners (Vertex, BSI, SAP's own WWI product) and the platforms they support. Very few support Linux for zSeries, so there will be additional commodity hardware servers in the datacenter. That results in the added complexity of supporting more platforms.
The one area of concern I do have about running SAP on a non-zSeries platform is the quality of SAP support for other platforms. The zSeries SAP support team is phenomenal and I can't say we've gotten even close to the response times or the quality of answers for non-zSeries related OSS messages.
All that said, I am just offering one person's experiences and opinions. Obviously I am not overly impressed with the value delivered vs the cost of zSeries.

New Development System

Hi, just wanted to bounce some ideas off you guys.
We are about to create a new ECC 6 system initially a sandbox system for blue print then a Dev system.
My organisation as a global finance SAP template that we will use. So the steps would be a fresh install, then install the global finace templete, not sure how but will probably a system copy.
We also have another stream of work being undertaken in another part of the organisation which is all being done in its own landscape. We need to split out some of this functionality to use on our system (about 2000 transports).
I don't want to copy all of this work over to the Dev system probably from their QA system as it has a load of master / transaction data, but it will give everything we require OK we would need to some clean up work.
The other option would be to selct the transports that we require and apply them, sequencing will be a issue,
Ideally I guess the best solution is for all the work to be performed again in the new Dev system
Its a tricky one, I need the fucntionality but want to keep the system as clean as possible. The QA system will be built on the transports from Dev.
Any thoughts appreciated,
Thanks

Ideally I guess the best solution is for all the work to be performed again in the new Dev system
You will be right on this. Problem w/ a "easy" solution via transport is that you may run into cross development with the same object fighting eachother. This could result in unexpected behavior in the system, which would turn into a diagnostics nightmare.
We are currently in middle of upgrading to ECC 6.0. The plan here inhouse is to actually freeze all modifications for period of 1 quarter, allowing only production fixes only. This would minimize the number of transports that we have to manually consolidate.

BI switching to new ECC 6.0 box from R/3 4.7 box, question on delta init?

Hi all,
Our BI has been already upgraded to 7.0. Currently connected to R/3 4.7.
Now a new box is made with ECC 6.0 and Oracle 8 which is a mirror copy of the r/3 4.7.Once the new box is ready the BI 7.0 connection will be switched from R/3 4.7 to the new box ECC 6.0.
My question is ...
In the R/3 4.7 the datasources were already initialized for delta..so the pointer for delta was already setup.
Now when we connect the new ECC box do I have to initialize delta again ? or would the new system recognize the pointer since it is a mirror copy from the old system?
pls advice

It´s a bit confusing what you write - I try to get your point:
- your 4.7 is running on Oracle 8 (VERY old, unsupported)
- you install a NEW system on ERP 6.0? Or do you upgrade your 4.7 copy?

Hi,
you would have added the new ECC source system to the BI.
I that case I think you need to initialize the Data again.
As all other requirements for delta like the pointer in delta queue might not be set for the new datasources.
I havent tried such thing till. but as per the concepts I understand You need to initialize the data

Warning while adding new ECC

Hi ,
I am getting error while adding new ECC variable in ICM. PFB the error message.
" The Maximum size of all Expanded Call Variable in the Computer Telephony Integeration Server is 2500 bytes. Saving these schanges would require 2795 bytes.
will this hamper the performance of the system..?

Hi, no, it will not work at all, so no worries about system performance.
Why are you adding a new ECC variable when the system tells you it wont fit?

How to find out Shopping Cart created in backend system or ECC system

Hi All,
I am new to SAP SRM7.0. The Client has implemented "Extended Classic Scenario". i.e. SC>Approval>PO>Confirmation>Invoice process in ECC.
We created few SC with "Free text" i.e. Describe what you need option in SC.
The SC is created with 4 digit number 2690. Also, the Status " Approved". since its low value.say 5 GBP.
I have like 25 to 30 SC created like this: I need to know the following:-
1. When i open SC and look for Related document, i see only SC number , but no Follow on document. not sure why ?
2. How can i know the list of SC in backend system. i.e like ECC of the SRM backend system. Please let me know the table name it get stored.. I searched EBAN and found only those which has PO is stored.
also can you please advise if by creating the SC in SRM.. will get replicated in ECC system ?. or only if Follow on doc gets created it will get replicated in ECC system?.
Thx
MJ

Hi,
SC is never replicated to backend.
Extended scenario document flow is SC -> SRM PO(Main) -> ERP PO(Copy).
Please go to BBP_PD transaction and navigate to SC item detail. You see what is the follow-on document.

Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System

Hi,
I downloaded Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System Using MII 12.0
senario from sdn. I'm trying to do that senario in MII 12.05. But I have problem with section 6 in page 7 (you can supply senario from sdn)
"6- Under the loop of Repeater, use action u2018Rowu2019 to append just the string part of the WA which will display only values for field u2018Batchu2019"
I did not find WA elemen in Output element of Repeater_0
How can I create WA element?
Thanks.

Cemil,
Set up a SAP JCo Interface action block. Use the RFC name RFC_READ_TABLE.
In the link editor map the table to "MARA", set RowCount to something small (20 is good sample size) and create an xml transaction property named FIELDS and copy the following into it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><FIELDS>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>MATNR</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>MTART</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>BSTME</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>XCHPF</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>DATAB</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
    </FIELDS>
Then link the Transaction.FIELDS to SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/FIELDS}. You may run into problems with two other fields and optionally they can be removed (set link type to remove xml). I usually remove them initially for testing. The two fields are:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/NO_DATA}
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/DELIMITER} (or you can set this to something like a semicolon,";" or tilda,"~". I find it easier to caclulate position by length, but that is my own idiosyncrasy.)
Once you get this one working, we can explore how to do filtering on the dataset. Your output should be something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RFC_READ_TABLE>
<INPUT>
    <DELIMITER />
    <NO_DATA />
    <QUERY_TABLE>MARA</QUERY_TABLE>

Add a repeater sourced on:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Response{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/DATA/item}
Link your repeater output to a tracer with this:
Repeater_0.Output{/item/WA}
What you will see in each tracer message is a single line of data with all the fields contents concatenated together. You can look up what each field in the string represents by the length of the field as returned in the Response segment of the RFC_READ_TABLE rfc. Then you can parse out the data you are interested in.
Give this a try and let me know how you succeeded.
By the way, I could not find the scenario you referred to. Can you post a link?

Feasibility for a new production system in the same environment

Dear friends,
Our management has come up with a requirement of expansion of SAP environment to cover up users in a different country for their francise over there. The options we are considering are below:
1. Implementing a whole new setup ( ECC, EP,BI, PI,Trex).
2. Expanding the lease lines between the sites in both the countries and providing access to the present setup itself with enhancement in the current hardware configuration.
or is it a good practice to keep a new Production system in the other country and add a new delivery route for the new production system within the current transport route ? How the license part may be taken care in these cases ?
Your suggestions are welcomed.
Many thanks,
SUJIT

Hi Sujit,
The answer to this question really depends on whether the new country is going to share much of the same configuration with some tailoring to local laws and requirements. If the system is going to be the same, then there is now reason to deploy a new system unless you are reaching technical limits for hardware. For ease of management and usage, then having one system is preferred. You can then upgrade your network to cope with the increased load and hardware as required.
Hope this helps,
Graham

Cross reference data from 2 different ecc system.

Hi Sdners,
Iam working on a scenario where i have to get data from two different Ecc system,consolidate them and send it back to their respective system.
But some refernce data in both the systems are different and when iam merging data from 2 system i have to maintain either of the reference data.But problem comes when i syndicate it back to ECC ,it cannot accept a new reference data.
Please suggest me some answere how to proceed in such case.
Its urgent.
Points will be rewarded for Genuine answeres.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Neethu.

Hi,
First enable keymapping property to YES for the table which you want to do
importing and syndicatig.
Create two remote systems type inbound/outbound .
Import the data from first remote system and map the corresponding fields.
Don't forget to map the remotekey field which is on the destination side.Make clone
of one of the dispaly field and map to the remote key field.
After importing you can see the records from which remote system are imported
using Edit Key Mappings option in DataManager.It shows that remotesystem
name and corresponding remote key.
Do the same for second remote system too.
After merging data in data manager , you can see the merged record and see the
two remote systems names and two remote keys by using Edit Key Mappings
option so the merged record goes back to both remote systems when you syndicate
the records.
Syndicate the data from first remote system by selecting destination properties and
output remote system property under map properties tab as your first remote
system.
Do the mapping for corresponding fields and don't forget to map the value field under
remote key .Then MDM generates remote keys for only records belongs to your
first remote system.You can see this in destination preview.It does n't genarate
remote keys for second remote system.Then check the option Suppress records
without key under map properties tab and execute the syndication.Finally we can
see the accurate records.
Do the same for second remote system too.
Hope it helps
