ODI 11.1.1.6 with SAP Adapters

Friends,
We are planning to replace our current ETL tool Informatica with ODI. In the current context, Informatica SAP Adapters are working fine extracting SAP data from SAP Tables (SE16) and SAP ABAP Functions (Called from Informatica Interfaces) in stream mode . With current setup, Informatica is able to extract 2 Million Records in 30 minutes.
We are not sure how ODI SAP Adapters work in this regard.
So any inputs on ODI SAP Adapters with regard to :
- Data extraction Performance
- Feasibility of Extraction of SAP Data from SAP Tables and SAP Functions (return dataset)
- Feedback on the stability and scalability of the ODI SAP Adapters
are highly appreciated. Thank you
Regards,
Sailendra T

There are two ODI SAP adapters available that allows extraction from SAP ERP and SAP BW. For SAP ERP we allow extraction from ERP tables, but not from RFCs/BAPIs. You can find details on that at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/documentation/index.html The documentation was created for 10g release but still valid for 11g.
In our performance comparison we found significant improvement against competition. The actual performance, of course, depends on many, many things ranging from SAP HW, network, complexity of query etc.
Thanks

  • ODI background execution with SAP

    Hi Experts,
    Here is my problem. I am connecting ODI with SAP R/3 to extract data from some tables.
    In my client configuration on SAP, they have a timeout of 10 minutes and that is a problem when I try to extract data from a big table where the time of processing is more than 10 minutes. Some people tell me that you can execute the ABAP programs in dialog mode or in background mode, and in the second option, you skip this problem.
    So, my question is: can I configure the excecution of the ODI ETL in background on SAP? or Can I configure the ABAP program to always execute in background on SAP?

    Someone have an idea?

  • Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

    Hi,
    I have never worked on SAP XI.
    I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
    SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
    SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
    Technical System contains all information about the software
    component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
    System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
    There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
    is signed between Sender and Receiver.
    Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
    with the Business System,
    Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
    with the Business System.
    In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
    Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
    Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
    Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
    FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
    RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
    Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
    Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
    The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
    and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
    Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
    Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
    SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
    Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
    and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
    In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
    Step 1: Create busines system as service.
    Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
    through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
    Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
    Step 4: Interface determination:
    - Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
    there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
    - To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
    into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
    for the customized ID mapping.
    Receiver determination.
    Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
    Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
    remote systems(s).
    Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
    This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.
    Regards
    Kaushik Banerjee

    Hi Kaushik,
    You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
    1. MDMGX -
             - For lookup table extraction
             - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
              - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
    2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
              - For Main table records.
              - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
    Just a basic understanding...

  • Default Adapter with SAP PI 7.1 EHP1

    Hi,
    Thanks for an overwhelming response to all my questions.
    I need some information about the SAP PI 7.1 tool. The information needed is as following
    1. How many default adapter we get with SAP PI EHP 1 package?
    2. If we need some special adapters which are not a part of the tool, is it possible to develop it?
    3. Where can we develop these adapters? In SAP PI only or cane we develop them in java and add the jar file and use it in the process integrator?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Integarte IBM Gentran with SAP PI7.0

    Hi,
    What are the ways in which IBM Gentran can share information with SAP PI7.0? what are the type of configurations done in PI system to enable this?
    Thanks!!

    Hi Bhupesh,
    In such cases where the integration landscape uses multiple middleware tools at different levels, the best approach would be to opt for a file based exchange. As no adapters are likely to be available on the interoperability of these two tools, best approach would be:
    PI downloads the data as an XML file (in an agreed format) to a designated folder and Gentran reads the file from the same folder. And for reverse flow follow the same approach.
    Alternatively if Gentran is able to make SOAP Based webservice call then it can call to PI interfaces using HTTP/SOAP or can provide a service end point for PI to make a call. You can consult with a Gentran expert on the capabilies of Gentran and the feasibility of this approach,

  • Integration with SAP - Comparing SAP XI against other EAI Middlewares

    I highly appreciate if you could throw some of your expertise and insights to the following:
    1.  What are all the architectural advantages if we use SAP XI instead of using other integration middlewares such as SeeBeyond, WebMethods etc.
    2.  Most of the EAI middlewares (such as SeeBeyond, WebMethods etc.) provide BAPI and ALE Adapters to integrate with SAP anyway.  So, what is the architectural and business value add if we use SAP XI in this scenario?
    3.  Compare the capabilities of SAP XI any other top EAI middleware that you are familiar with.  (Preferably SeeBeyond)
    Thanks,
    -Sorna

    Hi,
    I do not want to comment on other middlewared outright. But, I will surely share the value proposition of SAP NetWeaver in general, and XI specifically as an Integration Platform.
    SAP NetWeaver offers a set of solutions for Integration at 3 levels
    1. People Integration - Enterprise Portals, Multichannel Access, Mobile Infrastructure
    2. Information Integration - BW, MDM, KM
    3. Process Integration - XI
    All these solutions work on the same Technology Platform - SAP WebAS and can talk to each other seamlessly. They are also very well integrated to SAP Solutions, hence if the back-end applications are from SAP, it gives a strong reason for the customer to choose from SAP NetWeaver stack. It will definitely have performance advantes also when talking to SAP solutions.
    The second most important point is, all SAP Solutions are shipping, or will ship their Integration Content (what SAP calls Business Content) for all the various products of the SAP NetWeaver Stack, including SAP XI. This reduces the integration effort required at customer site, since the integration content is already available (atleast from one side, even if the other application is Non-SAP).
    Hence, although other middlewares offers capabilities to integrate with SAP solutions, NetWeaver will reduce the TCO in this case by providing better integration, Business Content from SAP, and also support for integration content from SAP.
    Warm regards,
    Venki.

    My two cents -
    1. XI is from SAP so, no dependency on other vendor to upgrade their platform to take advantage of new features provided by SAP in newer releases.
    2. For SAP centric integration, XI is not just a platform. You also get a lot of content for standard SAP centric integration scenarios and no of scenarios supported will increase over the time.
    3. XI also supports BPM.
    4. Support for ABAP mapping.

  • Replacing BC with SAP XI-URGENT

    Hi Experts ,
    I have a query related to a case in which we want to replace SAP BC with SAPXI.
    The client is going for an upgradation from SAP R/3 4.6 c to ECC 6.0 and they have architecture like 4.6c--- BC-SAP Adapter--- Customized Adapters(Third party).
    The customized adapters make synchronous RFC calls to 4.6 c through SAP Adapter and BC.
    Basically MQ series flow is there between customized adapter and SAP ADAPTER which further updates R/3 through BC.
    Now they want to upgrade from 4.6c to ecc 6.0 and replace BC with SAP XI without making any changes to SAP Adapter and customized adapters
    Now my questions are :-
    1) If i replace BC with SAP XI will there be any development changes required or it will be only configuration changes that can be done by BASIS?
    2)Is it possible that Third Party continues to make RFC calls to XI and XI make RFC  calls to R/3.
    3) In XI we will be configuring JMS adapter for MQ series or MQ series adapter.
    4) What difficulties can be faced during replacement of BC with SAP XI ? What can be the impact of replacement?
    I would appreciate an early response as this is very urgent.

  • Replacing EDI subsystem with SAP XI

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a scenario in place where i want to replace the EDI subsystem with SAP XI.
    I know that using Content Master is one of the solution but i have also heard that Content Master is having some license issues. Now after Content Master what is the next best solution for parsing the EDIFACT and X12 format files.

    Hi Rahul,
    SAP Conversion Agent by Itemfield is a data conversion system that enables you to create interfaces between any data formats and XML-based systems. The Conversion Agent can convert unstructured, semi-structured, and structured formats to XML, and the other way around.
    Have a look at these links:
    /people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield
    /people/paul.medaille/blog/2005/11/17/more-on-the-sap-conversion-agent-by-itemfield

    Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.
    These transformed EDI-XML messages are then converted to EDI specific format using the Seeburger's BIC(Business Integration Converter)adapter. In addition, Seeburger provides adapters like AS2,FTP(EDI specific) and so on to route these EDI messages to external EDI Partners.
    For more i would suggest you to go through these links:
    http://www.seeburger.it/fileadmin/it/pdf/2005_04_sapphire_Ferrero_transcript.pdf
    http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/Butler_Group_SEEBURGER_Technology_Audit.pdf
    http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/AS2_General_Overview.pdf
    Seeburger EDI Adapter leverages SAP XI's Adapter Framework. This Adapter is used to perform conversion between EDI and XML format. It also provides some canned EDI layouts and the ability to build your own. It is used to transfer the EDI message via HTTP or AS2 protocols.
    The most direct way of using the Seeburger adapters is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to do the following:
    1. define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
    2. using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
    3. create a one to one mapping between input en output.
    4. export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI.
    5. generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.
    Please go through the following links which clearly explains what you want and it also helps you in understanding the same in depth:

    http://www.sap.com/asia/company/events/nwtechdays/presentation/australia-slides/Pre-Built_Integration.pdf
    There are also a few ways to use EDI with the ALE system of R3.
    inbound EDI to R3
    1.use a 3rd party adapter for the EDI protocol(eg.SEEBURDER) from the EDI system,send the produced XML to the XI ,map the xml message to a matching IDoc using the IDoc adapter.
    outbound ALE message from R3 to EDI system
    1. Configure the ALE system to point to the XI the relevant IDoc (SM59,WE21,WE20...)
    2.use a file adapter3rd party EDI adapter and map the fields to the target structure.
    have a look at this example:
    http://www.ean.se/EANCOM%202000/iftmin/example.htm
    Details on how to configure can be found on SDN

    Are you using the FDMEE SAP adapter or is this something custom with SAP that you're using to try and load the open interface table? I think that I've heard of this error before 'on the grape vine' from other folks who've been trying custom SAP loads using an FDMEE ODI Agent but not when using the Bristlecone SAP integration for FDMEE.
    The class that can't be found in the classpath seems to be in the odi-core.jar file. It might be worth placing a copy of odi-core.jar in /Oracle/Middleware/odi/odi_misc to see if that can add the jar file to the classpath to get you past this.

  • Integrating Webservice with SAP

    Hi Experts,
    How to integrate Webservice with SAP ECC6.0( RFC)
    webservice : .Net
    regrads,
    stephen

    Read the below details
    . When we use *Sender SOAP Adapter how the connectivity is happening with Remote Clients.
    A:SOAP is an XML-based protocol for exchanging information in a decentralized, distributed environment.SOAP is a technology that allows XML to move easily over the Web. SOAP does this trough an XML envelope for delivering XML content and specifying a set of rules for services to follow when they receive a SOAP message.The fundamental change brought about by SOAP has been the ability to move data anywhere across the Web.
    When ever XI needs to talk to a webservice you will go for SOAP adapter. If you need to enable some functionality as webservice using XI you can use SOAP Sender adapter. If you need to send request to a webservice you will go for SOAP Receiver
    SOAP Message Structure :
    SOAP Envelop: The outermost element of SOAP message. The envelope element is the root of the XML document that defines a SOAP message.
    SOAP Header: An optional, yet key element in architecting a distributed system around XML. The header element provides a modular way of directing SOAP servers to do processing before passing the SOAP message on. For example, it is possible to add SOAP header information that instructs a server to add transaction or authentication information. Header are also important in building piped architectures where processing is done in stages and data is modified as it is passed from handler to handler.
    SOAP Body: An element that must appear in a SOAP message. The Body element is where the transported XML is loaded. SOAP makes no assumptions about the kind of XML transport in the body of a SOAP message. XML or it may take the form of remote procedure call.
    also these weblogs can give you a view where you can use SOAP adapters

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/5ad93f130f9215e10000000a155106/content.htm
    2.How sender SOAP Adapter get those webservices from remote clients and when exactly Remote clients will send webservices to SOAP Adapter?
    It purely depends on ur client & if ur client provides WSDL file then u no need to develop it in ID and use that WSDL.WSDL describes a particular web service. Using a wsdl, we are requesting the broker to point the exact system, application, message interface. Once it is found, the SOAP channel is opened between the provider and the consumer. So the WSDL is a must to access web services.
    in XI, we have to define the Web service which we want to use for the Sender SOAP channel. It is done by choosing Define Web Service from the tool menu of Integration Directory.
    There is no need to code any thing. Here, what you are doing is, just exposing the sender service,channel,Message Interface as a web service.
    In XI, we need to map the incoming messages to the target message( to the actual web service from the provider) format and to maintain the technical and logical routing between the sender and receiver.
    Check this blog to generate WDSL file...
    Exposing BAPI as Web Services through SAP XI
    Configuring a SOAP Sender Channel:
    When we create a SOAP sender channel we have to define the namespace and the name of a message interface (values can be taken from Integration Repository).
    Select the Quality of Service according to your interface type. If you are using a synchronous interface, select Best Effort. Otherwise, select Exactly Once or Exactly Once in Order.
    Transport protocol : HTTP
    Message protocol : SOAP 1.1
    Adapter Engine: Integration Server
    3. I need exactly how the webservices request is passing through sender SOAP Adapter.
    After completion of ur scenario u can use XML spy for testing ur scenario.

  • Difference between variuos SAP adapters!!

    Hi,
    Can anyone please explain the differences between BAPI,RFC and ALE?
    Please tell me more about SAP adapters particularly BAPI.
    Looking forward your reply,
    Thanks in Advance!!
    Regards,

    Hi
    a BAPI is an RFC enabled function module. The BAPI is different in that it encapsulates a complete business object. For example, "Create Sales Order" the BAPI for this allows you to create a sales order with a complete interface. BAPIs are also well documented in transaction BAPI.
    RFC is just a remote enabled function module which you are allowed to call from outside the system, doesn't neccesarily encapsulate a complete business object.
