Oracle Legacy System to SAP Data Migration

Hi Experts,
New to data migration:
Can you guide me in how oracle staging is useful for data migration:
Here is my few doubts:
1. What is Oracle Staging?
2. How Oracle staging is useful for data migration?
3. I see few ETL tools for data migration such as Informatica, Ascential Datastage etc. but our requirement is how can we use oracle staging for data migration?
4. What are the benefits in using oracle staging for data migration?
Expecting your response of above queries.
Thanks,

Here is my few doubts:
1. What is Oracle Staging?It is where ODI creates temporary tables. It does the transformation and if required cleans the data aswell.
2. How Oracle staging is useful for data migration?ODI loads source data into temporary tables(staging) and applying all the required mappings, staging filters, joins and constraints. The staging area is a separate area in the RDBMS (a user/database) where Oracle Data Integrator creates its temporary objects and executes some of the rules (mapping, joins, final filters, aggregations etc.). When performing the operations this way, Oracle Data Integrator behaves like an E-LT as it first extracts and loads the temporary tables and then finishes the transformations in the target RDBMS.
3. I see few ETL tools for data migration such as Informatica, Ascential Datastage etc. but our requirement is how can we use oracle staging for data migration?
4. What are the benefits in using oracle staging for data migration?You can refer https://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/entry/designing_and_loading_your_own

How to UNLOCK queues when data is migrated from legacy system to SAP syste

Hi All,
I need some help regarding queues (SMQ2). XI is been used to migrate data from legacy system to SAP system. Sometimes the queue is getting locked. Once the queue is unlocked then the message is processed correctly. So, the incoming queues must be "unlocked" routinely so that they can process through the system. There is a standard report RSQIWKEX available that can be scheduled in SAP system to automatically unlock the queues. Before using the standard report RSDIWKEX, we made sure that we have added parameter MONITOR QRFC_RESTART_ALLOWED set to "1" in Integration Engine specific configuration (TCODE SXMB_ADM).We are unable to analyze the reason for locking of queues and how to avoid it. If the locking of the queues can not be avoided, is there any way to unlock the queues? We tried executing this report but were not successful in unlocking the queues. Please guide us in solving this issue. It would be really helpful if you can give us a direction in solving this problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Shwetha.

Hi,
Just check if the Queues are registered in Transaction SMQR.
If its not, then register the Queue by pressing 'Register' Button

Data migration from legacy system to SAP

hi all,
could you please post some docs on migration from legacy system to SAP system., also the problems faced while migration and best practices in data migration
regards
sridharan

Hi ,
I require few details from you.
1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.

How to extract non-sap data (A/R Invoices from Legacy system) into SAP ICR

Hi
We are trying to bring A/R invoices from a legacy system into SAP ICR special ledger so that ICR tool can be used these items for intercompany reconcilliation. Could you please let's know the way to load these legacy AR invoice items into ICR data base using any function moduels.
Regards,
Eswar.

Hello Eswar,
In what form do you have these "external" open items? If they are contained in a file you should simply import the file in ICR during data selection using the File Upload functionality. There is no need to store them in a special purpose ledger first. Actually you would have to create a BADI implementation to extract the data from that special purpose ledger during data selection. Please consider using File Upload standard functionality.
If for some reason this cannot be used you could implement a logic calling RFC enabled function module FB_ICRC_ADD_DATA_RFC which will take the open items you are supplying in your logic and push them into the ICR database. This strategy could be used to include these external open items without them being processed during data selection.
Best regards,
Ralph

How to transfer data from legacy system to SAP

Hi Friends,
I would like to know the process and the steps followed to transfer data from my legacy system to SAP.
Suppose if i have all the data in the form of Excel sheet or doc type. How can i transfer this data into SAP.
Please explain the steps followed.
Appreciate your help
Anil

Hi ,
Conversion of legacy data into SAP can be uploaded using a standard SAP Tool called LSMW ( TCode:LSMW).
the below link gives a brief explanation of the LSMW tool
http://tutorialsap.com/abap/sap-lsmw-tutorial-with-steps-to-create.html
There are various methods to upload data within LSMW. If the number of records are very high like Article Master or Conditions for Retail the IDOC method must be used.
Standard IDocs
1. Article Master - ARTMAS
2. Conditions - COND_A
3. Source list - SRCLST
4. Customer Master or WRF3/WRF6 tables - DEBMAS
5. Vendor master- CREMAS
Etc. Use transaction code WE60 to see the structure of each of the idocs. New enhancements can be done for the idocs if the required field is not available.

Data to be fetched from legacy system to SAP and doc needs to bee posted

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where my client is using some application in Legacy system(Fuel Software) which receives fuel(Petrol, Deasel, CNG) in system and issue the same to company owned vehicles and wants that sap should be integrated and document also needs to be posted in sap for all the receivings and isssuences against their vehicles.
Process Designed is:
1. Required Data file will be picked from legacy system with some date stamp and will be placed in sap directory.
2. There will be batch job which will check for new file based on date stamp.
3. Will pick record n will pass to Goods_mvt_create bapi and then will post the document.
4. We have created Vehicles as Internal orders in sap and whenever any issue will be there internal order no will be captured.
5. By this way we are receiving and issuing in sap.
Now my problem is i am stuck in designing step 1 and rest 2,3,4,5 steps have already been designed and working fine. Need your help in step 1. Else you may suggest some better way-out but again want to mention rest steps are already mapped
Thanks in advance..

Hi Ashutosh,
You can use functions:
FTP_CLIENT_TO_R3
FTP_COMMAND
FTP_COMMAND_LIST
FTP_CONNECT
FTP_COPY
FTP_DISCONNECT
FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT
FTP_R3_TO_SERVER
FTP_SERVER_TO_R3
FTP_START_REG_SERVER
FTP_START_SAPFTP
FTP_STOP_REG_SERVER
FTP_VERSION
which allow you to connect from SAP ERP to any FTP server (if the legacy has it). You can validate the sample program RSFTP007.

Interface from Legacy system to Sap

Hi all,
I worked in the functional design and implementation of an interface that works to update sales order from a legacy system to Sap
Now after some test, i receive the ok to move all the program in production enviroment
I'd like to know and to be sure of all the step to be checked and needed. The mail one for sure are related the data. So I checked all the custom table I created for this purpose.
Please advise me If I'm missing some important step
Many thanks for your help

I'd like to know and to be sure of all the step to be checked and needed. The mail one for sure are related the data. So I checked all the custom table I created for this purpose.
'The mail one for sure': What mail one?
'Custom tables': Why did you create custom tables? Don't you just use a BAPI to update / create Sales Order?
What do you mean by interface? An RFC (remote enabled function module)?
In general: Everything you have developed for this, should be in a transport request. I you want to check this, go to the package you created for this development in transaction SE80. Start from the (RFC) interface and check everything this function module needs to function like data elements, domains, structures etc.
You do need to create new rfc destinations in SM59 (in case you are updating sales order via RFC interface.
Haven't you moved it from development to quality before?

Upload Opening balance of G/L accounts from legacy system to SAP, and also

Hi Gurus,
How to upload Opening balance of G/L accounts from legacy system to SAP, and also Vendor and Customer balance.
My Doubt is when you upload the customer balance and vendor balance will it effect the sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account if not the how will the sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account will be posted with the balance. Please send me the general entry passed for posting the same.
What I understood is that when we are uploading the customer and vendor balances through LSMW, no entry will be passed and it will update the customer and vendor sub ledger in FBL1N and FBL5N but it will not affect the sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account.
To give effect to sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account we need to manually pass a journal entry as follows.
1) Sundry debtors account A/c -
DR
      TO clearing account A/c
2)     clearing account A/c -
dr
     Sundry creditor account A/c
Please let me know whether iam correct
Also please tell me what will be the scenario for uploading of the assets balances through LSMW.
THANKS AND REGARDS
MV

Hi,
     When you uploading any data from legacy system to sap normally we will be using LSMW or BDC,thru this we will be uploading master data like G/L,vendor,Customer and asset master these are the some examples and we will upload transaction data also that is P&L Account and Balance sheet.When we do uploading data thru LSMW system will update all the values of vendor,customer and asset values as well as subsidary ledger also.No need to do manully.

Loan upload from legacy system to SAP

Hi Experts,
I have a query regarding uploading Loan from legacy system to SAP.
We are implementing SAP HR for a client going live by 1st jun 2011. The scenario is the client has few employees who have taken loan for various reason, i have configured the same through SPRO....now my query is when i ask the client to provide me with loan data:
1. We are running payroll from 1st April 11, should i ask the client to give me the loan amount as the current standing loan amount
2. when i am uploading loan in 0045, should i put something in third tab payment
Thanks for your support.
Regards,
Jyoti

Hi,
This third tab basically create a record for info type 0078(Loan Payments). If you don't have any records in 3rd tab/0078, system will not start loan recovery in payroll.
Find the response for 2 scenarios-
Scenario 1 & Scenario 2:
maintain these fields in the table control of 3rd tab-
Date(GT_PAYM-ZAHLD) - 01.04.2011....Basically payments and repayments starts date also used for interest calculation
PmntTyp(GT_PAYM-ZAHLA) - 100(Loan payment (external)) ....Contains information on the direction and method of payment. Also control wage type generation in loan PCR and Functions
Amount(GT_PAYM-BETRG) - Balance Amount ....The total of payment or repayment amounts which you enter here, may not exceed the amount that you have entered in the Approved loan amount field on the Basic data tab page ....For your both of the scenariof, this amount will be same.
Regards.

SAP Data Migration Framework

Dear All, I read from TechEd that SAP data migration framework involves using Business Objects data services. SAP has provided pre-built Jobs with iDOC as target.
All is fine but I came to know that we can use Data services as staging area and modify etc our data in Data services beforw loading into SAP ECC system.
I would like to kow more about using Data services as staging area. Does that mean that when we run jobs then data is stored in iDOC(XML file) on DS or it means we can run DS in demo mode where we don't load data but keep it within memory of DS. This is different from profiling and storing execution/DQ statistics. This is storing real time data in DS and then modify/analyze and then load in SAP ECC.
Can someone explain if we can run DS in demo mode without loading data?
Thanks,
