Extractors for Archive files & online data

Hi experts,
I have requirements to develop extractors to extract both ADK files and online data for MM and PS. Online PS data were extracted previously through generic extractors with FM (F2) and MM with generic extrator with View
I identified the table MSEG, MKPF for MM and MSEG for PS were the data need to be pull from. The ADK files reside in a file system and are accessible through PBS index.
1- Could you pl guide me through a strategy how to proceed?
2- Is possible to develop a generic datasource with function module that with be able to fetch ADK files & online data for PS
3- For MM, I am thinking at 2LIS_03_BF since I am extracting MM: Material movements
Since that extractor is delta capable but I am looking for full upload, could you pl provide steps how to work around that if possible?
Thanks.

Thanks for replying,
I have already reviewed that document, it is not helpful in my case since I can retrieve archive data using PBS index. I think that I have to develop a FM extractor capable to fetch online and archive data for appl. comp. PS.
Several fileds need to be accessed on tables MSEG, AFKO, AFVC, EBAN, ESLL, ESLH, t430...
I already have a FM module capable to fetch online data... I need to modify it so that it would fetch online and archive data...
I am looking here for the logic ... could you please experts paste a template code capable to fullfill that requirement or sent it under (blaise.pascal(at)ymail.com) I will really appreciate.

Business Intellience and Data Archiving

Once you have implemented Data Archiving, what are the possible ways of allowing BI standard and custome extractors to look at both SAP ECC online and archived data (the archived data sits on Open text). How do you deal with BI complete reload and refresh requirement for a specific data if the data has been already been archived?

Is there any addiotional things we need to do at info source level after activating the content? Selecting the correct data source etc.
If there is a enhancement to the extraction structure then what all steps manually we need to do at info source level? When we replicate the data source which has been enhanced, will it create the infoobjects automatically so that they can be used in infosource communication structure?
As I am new to the system, I am running in to all these questions.
Appreciate any help in step by step how things will work.
Thanks.

EXCEL ONLINE - Automaticly refresh data in excel from the online data

Hi
Love some help with this one
QUESTION
Is their anyway 5 users can use excelonline fileA and also keep a uneditable version fileA open in desktop excel and manually refresh the desktop version to see the latest version of the document in uneditable mode still of course?
DESRCIPTION
We use excelonline for about 5 users to access the same 5MB excel file. Now because excelonline does not allow marcos to be run, proper printing and proper copy and paste in html formats (we need to copy and paste sheets into outlook in html format or run
macros) we need to open the desktopexcel application to use printing and copy functions into outlook.
All 5 users need to enter the data in excelonline then SYNC now in sharepoint so the excel is updated and then open desktopexcel then a pop up to use latest server version asks us to use latest. We want latest so we then click okay. Great we now have the
latest data. We can then run macros etc....
We then close down desktopexcel and enter more online data through the day and have to repeat SYNC now in sharepoint so the excel is updated and then open desktopexcel then a pop up to use latest server version asks us to use latest. We want latest so we
then click okay. Great we now have the latest data. We can then run macros etc....
We have to repeat this many times over the same day... that is 5 people doing like this though out the day. Wasting alot of time.

Thank you.
If I understand correctly from your advice, that is I should create QaaWs to pull data from SAP BI, which will return data in tabular format. Map the data in the cell range of a hidden tab, re-arrange and format the data into the row?
Another concern: I need to display data for 4 quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3,Q4) in the dashboard, but QAAWS will only pulls data when the data is available in the database.
   Eg. Only data for 3 quarters are found in the database, QAAWS will return data for Q1, Q2,Q4.
         This will mess up the position fixed in the xcelsius. Do you have any suggestion on this?
   Sorry to bother u for the simple questions.
   Thank you.

HR PA Data Archiving

Hi,
We are undergoing the archiving project for HR module. For PD data, we can use object BC_HROBJ, for PCL4 data, we can use PA_LDOC. What about 2000 series infotypes data, such as PA2001, PA2002, PA2003, etc.? Because all changes to these infotypes are stored in PCL4 cluster LA, we only need to purge the data from these tables. What is the best way to purge PA2xxx data? We cannot use transaction PA30/PA61 to delete records because user exit edits prevent any action against old data beyond certain time frame.
Thanks very much,
Li

Business Partner Data Archiving - Help Required

Hi,
Am New to Data Archiving and need help to Archive Business Partner in CRM. I tried to Archive some BP's but it was not archiving. Kindly throw some light on it.
Problem we face are:
1) When we try to write a Business Partner to an Archive File the Job Log Shows finished but no files are created in the System.
2) When we try to delete the BP from Data Base it doesn't show the Archived BP's that could be deleted (I guess this is because there are no archived file).
Archive Object Used is CA_BUPA. We have created a Variant and set the Time as Immediate and Spool to LOCL.
Kindly let us know if there is any step we are missing here and if we are on the wrong track.
All answers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Prashanth

Hi,
To archive a BP following steps are to be followed.
A. Mark the BP to be archived in transaction BP >status tab
B. Run dacheck
FYI : Steps on how to perform dacheck :
1. In transaction DACONTROL change the following parameter to the
values : for CA_BUPA .
No. calls/packages   1
Number of Objects   50
Package SizeRFC     20
Number of Days       1 (if you use mobile client it should be more)
2.If a business partner should be archived directly after the
archiving note was set, this can be done by reseting the check
   date with report CRM_BUPA_ARCHIVING_FLAGS.
   here only check (set) the options :
   - Archiving Flag
   - Reset Check Date
Reset all options should be unchecked.
3. go to dacheck and run the process
4. This will change the status of the BPs to 'Archivable'
   *Only those bp's which are not involved in any business transactions,
    install base, Product Partner Range (PPR) will be set to archivable
The BP's with status 'Archivable' will be used by the archiving
     run.
Kindly refer note 646425 before goint to step C ***
C.Then run transaction CRM_BUPA_ARC.
- Make sure that the "selection program" in transaction "DACONTROL"
   is maintained as " CRM_BUPA_DA_SELECTIONS"
Also create a variant, which can done by excecuting
CRM_BUPA_DA_SELECTION and enter the variants name for the field
Variant. This variant is the buisness partner range.
- Also please check note 554460.

Uploading to online data storage: Now cannot download songs into iTunes

Hello all.
I am not seeing this one on any FAQs, knowledge bases, or discussion boards yet:
I am doing my initial upload of files to SugarSync, a highly-recommended online data storage service. Since I started, I cannot download songs into iTunes, even from the iTunes Store.
On any new downloads from the iTunes Store, the song DOES appear in the Music library view but immediately after completing the download it shows the exclamation point warning that the file is not in its location. The new folders get created properly within the iTunes Music folder but the subfolder where the song should be is empty. Each time I had to write iTunes Support to get them to make the files available.
I can still add files manually, no problem. E.g., I can add *.mp3 or *.wav files or folders, I can convert them to AAC, etc. The glitch seems to occur only when automated loads into iTunes are operating.
As a test, I downloaded a song from Amazon. Here the problem was different but I could work around it manually. Normally the Amazon process loads songs automatically into iTunes, too. Here again, the download did create the proper folder in the iTunes Music folder, as it should, but this time the symptoms were reversed:
(a) the mp3 file WAS in its folder as it should be (w/the iTunes DL, the file was NOT there)
(b) the song did NOT appear in the iTunes Music view (w/the iTunes DL, the song DID appear)
(c) I was able to browse to the file and tell it manually to load into iTunes (w/iTunes I had to write Support and wait a day).
(I wonder what's the cause of the differences between the two cases.)
Strictly speaking, I can't PROVE the problem has anything to do with SugarSync (which otherwise seems good so far), but the DL problem started as soon as I started using it. Something in the SugarSync upload or file-monitoring process, or an odd thin gin iTunes, seems to be preventing automated, direct loads into iTunes. And since the data service runs in background, so it can monitor file changes, that might mean I can't buy music anymore! Obviously that would be a dealbreaker with SS. (I have contacted SS on this but they've not had fair chance to reply yet.)
1) Anyone else have this problem?
2) Is this permanent or just temporary while I am doing the initial upload?
3) Anyone know a solution?
(FYI, I am a highly-experienced user and otherwise quite handy with iTunes files, library moves, and backups. My library is entirely consolidated and all AAC.)
Thanks.
(Oh, and this occurred in both iTunes 8 and the new iTunes 9, so it seems unrelated to the upgrade this week.)

UPDATE 1. CHANGING BROWSER HELPED -- OR DID IT?
I called Apple iTunes Support, who said the problem is new to them. The technician's hypothesis was that something, perhaps browser-related, was interfering with the initial creation of a temporary file (which should go to the Recycle Bin) that instead causes the completed file to go to there.
He noted that iTunes, though not going through one's browser onscreen, does use settings within one's default browser. I use Mozilla Firefox, so we switched to IE as the default browser, restarted iTunes, and the song downloaded with no problem! Then I switched back to Mozilla, restarted iTunes, and it worked AGAIN with no problem!
(Dutifully I advised SugarSync, which is still investigating.)
UPDATE 2: ARTIST NAME CHANGE - SOME FILES GOT MIS-MOVED / MIS-CHANGED
Definitely something still wrong. This time some pre-existing song entries (not new downloads) lost their connection to their source file.
In iTunes, which manages folder names for artists and albums automatically, I corrected the spelling for an Artist, so immediately iTunes renamed the folder, and automatically SugarSync noted the change to be uploaded. While the changed folder name and all the songs within were still uploading to SS, in iTunes I saw exclamation points come up -- but only for some of them. Most files got moved or changed correctly, but several lost connection to their file (i.e., the file was removed for the original misnamed folder but never moved into the correctly-named folder). Weird.
Worse, in only some of those cases did I find the missing *.m4a file in the Recycle bin. (I had to retrieve old, original *.mp3 versions from another folder and re-import each into iTunes manually.) I've never seen iTunes have a problem managing an Artist rename until I started using the live SS process.
(I've reported this to SS and asked if there is a way to disable temporarily SS to see if that's the problem.)
[Note: I am willing to try downloads again but I am wary of trying to rename entire Artists (Folder) again. That was a lot of work.]
====
UPDATE 3: SERIES OF TESTS - 1 FAILURE USING iTUNES
Still problem occurs, but not always. Today, I rebooted PC. I tried CD, iTunes, & Amazon. I varied having the browser open when using iTunes.
Here are the results of a series of attempts to download songs. "FAIL" means the file did not load properly into iTunes or loaded but lost its connection (exclamation point warning).
# Source Mozilla #Songs Result
1 CD Closed 1 OK
2 iTunes Closed 1 OK
3 Amazon Open 2 OK
4 iTunes Open 1 FAIL
5 Amazon Open 1 OK
6 iTunes Closed 1 OK
7 Amazon Open 2 OK
8 iTunes Open 2 OK
(I reported this to SS. Hoping they'll test and find the problem.)

Data archiving for Write Optimized DSO

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to archive data in Write Optimized DSO.
Its allowing me to archive on request basis but it archives entire requests in the DSO(Means all data).
But i want to select to archive from this request to this request.(Selection of request by my own).
Please guide me.
I got the below details from SDN.Kindly check.
Archiving for Write optimized DSOs follow request based archiving as opposed to time slice archiving in standard DSO. This means that partial request activation is not possible; only complete requests have to be archived.
Characteristic for Time Slice can be a time characteristic present in the WDSO, or the request creation data/request loading date. You are not allowed to add additional infoobjects for semantic groups, default is 0REQUEST & 0DATAPAKID.
The actual process of archiving remains the same i.e
Create a Data Archiving Process
Create and schedule archiving requests
Restore archiving requests (optional)

SAP Data Archiving in R/3 4.6C and ECC 6.0.

Hi Guys,
Need some suggestions,
We currently working on SAP R/3 4.6 and have plans to upgrade it to ECC 6.0,
In the mean time there is an requirement for SAP Data Archiving for reducing the database size and increase system performance.So wanted to know if its better to do Data Archiving before upgrade or after. Technically which will be comfortable, Also wanted to know if any advanced method available in ECC 6.0 compared to SAP R/3 4.6.
Please provide your valuable suggestion.
Thanks and Regards
Deepu

Hi Deepu,
With respect to archiving process there will be no major difference in 4.6 and ECC 6.0 system. However you may get more advantage in ECC6.0 system because of Archive routing and also upgraded Write, Delete programs (upgraded program will depend on your current program in 4.6 system). For example In 4.6 system for archive MM_EKKO write program RM06EW30, archiving of purchase document is based on company code in the selection criteria and there is no preprocessing functionality. In ECC 6.0 you can archive by purchase organization selection criteria and preprocessing functionality will additional help in archiving of PO.
In case if you archive documents in 4.6 and later upgrade it to ECC 6.0, SAP system will assure you to retrieve the archived data.
With this i can say that going with archiving after upgrade to ECC 6.0 system will be better with respect to archiving process.
-Thanks,
Ajay

Vendor Master Data Archiving

Hi,
I wanted to archive vendor master data. I got program - SAPF058V which gives FI,Vendor Master Data Archiving: Proposal list.
This program checks whether and which Vendor Master data can be archived or not. I am getting error message after running this program with selection of one of the Vendor saying that "Links stored incompletely". Can someone pls help on this
Thanks...Narendra

Hi,
Check if you have an entry in table FRUN for PRGID 'SAPF047'. Other option is set the parameter 'FI link validation off'' with the flag on (ie: value 'x'). Check the help for this flag, surely this vendor have a code of customer. Perhaps you must try to delete this link in customer and vendor master before.
I hope this helps you,

Data Archiving - System Prerequisites

Hi,
We are planning to ARCHIVE some of the tables to reduce the TCO. (Total cost of Ownership)
In this regard, I would like to know the following:
On the Basis side, I want to check for any prerequisites etc (like Minimum SP LEVEL, Kernel version, Import Notes to be applied etc)
Are there any document which clearly talks about these prequisites for preparing the System in order to be able to carry out the Archive work without any issues.
(Note: We are not using ILM solution for Archiving)
I am mostly concerned with the SAP Notes that are considered to be the prerequisites.

in addition we have some Z Tables to be archived.

Hi,
Pre-requisites for search OSS notes or BC Sets depends upon the program that is used in archive, delete or read.
If there is no proper selection criteria in write variant selection,
If the program is getting terminated due to long processing time,
If percentage of data archived for your selection is less even after data meeting minimum criteria,
If system allows user to change archived data,
With all the above scenarios we will search for OSS notes. If SAP has released BC sets then we will implement these.
If you have any problem while archiving and based on the archiving experience if you think that some of the oss notes will help then take a call on implementing it.
With the tables you have mentioned i can say that archiving objects such as FI_DOCUMNT, FI_SL_DATA, EC_PCA_ITM, EC_PCA_DATA, CHANGEDOCU, ARCHIVELINK.
You have to search any latest release BC sets or OSS notes for your system application.

Can I add multple tables to a single Flashback Data archive

Hi ,
I want to add mutilple tables of a schema to a single Flashback Data archive . Is this possible ?
I dont want to create multiple Flash back archives for each table
Also can i add an entire schema or a tablespace to a flash back archive created ?
Thanks,
Sachin K

Do adding multiple tables to a single flashback archive feasible in terms of space ?Yes, you can use. Multiple tables can share the same policies for data retention and purging. Moreover, since an FBDA consists of one or more tablespaces (or subparts thereof), multiple FBDAs can be constructed, each with a different but specific retention period. This means it’s possible to construct FBDAs that support different retention needs. Here are a few common examples:
90 days for common short-term historical inquiries
One full year for common longer-term historical inquiries
Seven years for U.S. Federal tax purposes
20 years for legal purposes
How is the space for archiving data to a flashback archive generally estimated ?[url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/server.112/e16508/process.htm#BABGGHEI]Flashback Data Archiver Process (FBDA)
FBDA automatically manages the flashback data archive for space, organization, and retention. Additionally, the process keeps track of how far the archiving of tracked transactions has occurred.
It (FBDA) wakes up every 5 minutes by default (*1), checks Tablespace quotas every hour, creates history tables only when it has to and rests otherwise if not called to work. The process adjusts the wakeup interval dynamically based on the workload.
(*1) *1 Contradicting observations to MOS Note 1302393.1 were made. The note says that FBDA wakes up every 6 seconds as of Oracle 11.2.0.2, but a trace on 11.2.0.3 showed:
WAIT #140555800502008: nam='fbar timer' ela= 300004936 sleep time=300 failed=0 p3=0 obj#=-1 tim=1334308846055308
5.1 Space management
To ease the space management for FDA we recommend following these rules:
- Create an archive for different retention periods
o to optimally use space and take advantage of automatic purging when retention expires
- Group tables with same retention policy (share FDAs)
o to reduce maintenance effort of multiple FDAs with same characteristics
- Dedicate Tablespaces to one archive and do not set quotas
o to reduce maintenance/monitoring effort, quotas are only checked every hour by FBDA

A question on different options for data archival and compression

Hi Experts,
I have production database of about 5 terabyte size in production and about 50 GB in development/QA. I am on Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Linux. We have RMAN backups configured. I have a question about data archival stretegy. To keep the OLTP database size optimum, what options can be suggested for data archival?
1) Should each table have a archival stretegy?
2) What is the best way to archive data - should it be sent to a seperate archival database?
In our environment, only for about 15 tables we have the archival stretegy defined. For these tables, we copy their data every night to a seperate schema meant to store this archived data and then transfer it eventualy to a diffent archival database. For all other tables, there is no data archival stretegy.
What are the different options and best practices about it that can be reviewed to put a practical data archival strategy in place? I will be most thankful for your inputs.
Also what are the different data compression stregegies? For example we have about 25 tables that are read-only. Should they be compressed using the default oracle 9i basic compression? (alter table compress).
Thanks,
OrauserN

You are using 11g and you can compress read only as well as read-write tables in 11g. Both read only and read write tables are the candidate for compression always. This will save space and could increase the performance but always test it before. This was not an option in 10g. Read the following docs.

SAP Data Archiving in R/3 Ecc6.0, MS-SQL 2008 Server:

We are using MS-SQL 2008 Database, these days our production database growing quite faster. I want to setting up Data Archiving using T'Code DB15. Can anyone give steps to setup Data Archinving using DB15?
Edited by: Ahsan's on Jul 19, 2010 11:44 AM

Archiving data is bound to legal things depending on the country and the company you work. Setting up archiving is not following a few steps, you'd need to have a system where to put the archiving data.
