Planning and Scoping- Data conversion and testing

hello Gurus
Good people i'm looking for your help in these areas.....
1) Planning and scoping for data conversion....we will be in the process of acquiring information from the client soon. So, what sort of information or questions do i need to get from the client and also the plan needed?
2) Test planning...... things i need to get from the client to prepare for this plan???
thanks
rasham

Hi,
the question which ou have asked is really very broad. so let me give some idea regarding the planning of data conversion. first of all you should identify which all objects you want to be transfered to SAP, obviously In MM material master, inforecord source list e.tc. then you need to decide which SAP tool you will be using to upload these data like LSMW, CATT e.t.c.
once it is decided what and how you are going to transfer then comes the Functional spec for data conversion in which you will give the details of data mapping in SAP. these FS will be translated to Tech Spec by technical consultant.
Test Planning,
first of all you will decide what type of testing you want to cary out like String test, Unit test, and integration test but these are decided by the testing team not Func consultant but anyway once it is decide how many level of testing is carried out then as a func consultant you will have to create test scenario for integration testing,

Data Conversion and Derived Column issues

I have a strange issue occurring with one of my SSIS packages.
What needs to happen:
I have to read data from a table that stores a field in NCHAR(40)
Send it through a Data Cleansing SSIS Component that forcefully outputs the data at a cleansed state as DT_STR(50)
Update the same source table with cleansed data - Using an UPSERT third party tool
Of course, I can't update the tables that stores data in NCHAR(40) with data from DT_STR(50), so I'm trying to use the Data Conversion Component, the Derived Column Component or a combination of, to set the data to DT_WSTR as well as to set the correct length,
from 50 to 40.
The Data Conversion Component fails when I try to set the incoming data (DT_STR(50)) to DT_WSTR(40):
[Data Conversion [186]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "MD_Address1" (97) to column "_MD_Address1" (190). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text
"The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Now I tried the same thing with the Derived Column Component, converting the data from the DQS component from (DT_STR(50)) to DT_WSTR(40) and there's the error message:
[Derived Column [196]] Error: The "Derived Column" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "Derived Column.Inputs[Derived Column Input].Columns[_MD_Address1]"
specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
I also tried a combination of Data Conversion (From DT_STR(50) to DT_WSTR(50)) and a Derived Column just casting to the correct size, but that didn't work either.
Every time I try to change the size, one of the components fail.
It appears that my issue has nothing to do with the data types, but the actual data length.
Why can't SSIS CAST my input from 50 to 40?
What do I need to do to cast/convert data from DT_STR(50) to DT_WSTR(40)?

Hi IgorSantos_FL,
It is the expected behavior when we try to convert DT_STR(50) (means maximum 50 characters in the value) to DT_WSTR(40) (means maximum 40 characters in the value). However, the truncation issue should not occur if you convert DT_STR(50) to
DT_WSTR(50). Could you post the error message that you received when converting DT_STR(50) to DT_WSTR(50)? It may be a different issue.

No SIM message and Cellular Data grayed and unresponsive, what is going on? My cellular data quit working as I sat on the Mexican border. Took to ATT store and they said this is common problem near the border. They fixed, but it failed in Mexico.

I purchased a domestic and international cellular package from ATT. Domestic worked for two days as I drove toward Mexico. As I sat two miles from border I tried to us cellular data again, but got No SIM message and cellular data switch greyed,. I called ATT and they told me to move away from border and try again. Didn't work. Called ATT back and they said go to ATT store in Sierra Vista, AZ. Lady there fixed and told me, "You are good to go." But she cautioned not to use until well into Mexico as sometimes domestic and international packages get confused near the border. I waited until I was about a hundred miles below the border and tried. Same message and same greying of cellular. Took to ATT when I returned. They changed SIM card and said problem is with Apple. Took to Apple and they say problem is with ATT. The fact that the ATT rep in Sierra Vista fixed makes me think it is software. I see that similar problems are common but solutions are vague and varied. Help please.

Has any had you try a reset yet? Sometimes the WiFi & Cellular anntennas get wacky.

Planned Independent Requirements Data Conversion

Hi, I am currently trying to figure out what data I need for converting Planned Independent Requirements from Oracle 11i to SAP. Can someone explain to me what equates to a PIR in SAP from Oracle?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi YMReddy,
my requirement is that I input PIR for some materials, and want those materials reserved by this PIR, since this PIR are special, can not be used by other requirement.

Extracting FI and CO data (COEP and BKPF)

Hello friends,
I need to enhance the 0CO_OM_WBS_6 to add the invoice number. Kindly please, let me know, what is the connection between the table COEP and BKPF.
I would like to add the invoice number to the data extracted by 0CO_OM_WBS_6.
Thank you in advance,
K

In that case (while entries are on while doing data load) please use -
Early Delta Initialization
With early delta initialization, you have the option of writing the data into the delta queue or into the delta tables for the application during the initialization request in the source system. This means that you are able to execute the initialization of the delta process (the init request), without having to stop the updating of data in the source system. You can only execute an early delta initialization if the DataSource extractor called in the source system with this data request supports this.

Data Grid - issues resizing width of columns and with data refresh and sort

SQLDeveloper 1215 on Windows XP professional
Database : various 9.2
In the table data tab there are a few minor issues our developers have highlighted.
1) There seems to be a minimum column width in the data display. This restricts flexibility in reviewing the data, esp. where the data length is less than the minimum column width.
2) If a column is resized or the column order is changed and a refresh or a new filter is applied then the columns are restored to their original position and size making it frustrating to run more than one query via the GUI.
3) There is no quick sort option by clicking on the column heading which would be useful.

I am still seeing this minimum column width in SQL Developer production (v1467) and I haven't seen any other posts relating to this. I have seen this all of the grids that I have looked at, including all of the grid based sub-tabs for the Object tabs (ie Columns, Data, Indexes, Constraints, etc) and the SQL Worksheet results tab.
It is very obvious with the Column Name and Data Type columns of the Table Columns tab - the Column Name column can be shrunk to truncate values but the Data Type column can only be shrunk to about the twice the width of the widest value.
Can anyone in development provide any comments about why we have this minimum width and how the minimum width is actually calculated?

Rounding Differences between TSQL Cast and Data Conversion component

This is using SSIS 2012. We are using an Ole Db Connection manager using the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider.
I have an Access database (accdb). It has several columns that are coming into SSIS as real data types. One column has a value of 68.8335558900872.
In the past we used the Data Conversion to convert from real to numeric 18, 6. The result was 68.833555. Rather than rounding on the last decimal place, it is returning the floor at six decimal places.
We have converted the process to load the data into a real data type column and then use a view to cast the value to a Decimal 18,6 (CAST (Col1 as Decimal(18,6))). We then load the data into a decimal 18,6 column. The result is 68.833556, which
is the rounded version of the real value.
Personally I prefer the rounded version rather than the truncated version.
I am trying to explain to explain to the QA people why the revised process is producing different results and thus I want to know if these are known behaviors for TSQL Cast and the Data Conversion component.
Russel Loski, MCT, MCSE Data Platform/Business Intelligence. Twitter: @sqlmovers; blog: www.sqlmovers.com

I think such a post is more suitable for an MS Connect bugs section as I see it a defect. And it seems no floor, but simply cutting off. Try in .Net when you convert, does it work the same? Data Conversion is a wrapper around the .net

Data migration and version-up

Dear all friends,
i am new in SAP,
i plan to join Data mirgration and version-upgrade domain.
please help to show me : process step by step or your experience when upgrade system
ex : process to upgrade from SAP R/3 to SAP ECC.
what life-cycle, document, template should we use !?
thanks !
Edited by: Quoc Luc Nguyen on Apr 22, 2008 6:54 AM

Hi,
Please check with the below links. They provide the information you are looking at.
Upgrade Information Center [original link is broken]
http://www.thespot4sap.com/upgrade_guide_v2.pdf#search=%22upGRADE%20STEPS%20-%20SAP%22
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
1) Project Preparation
Analyze the actual situation
Define the objectives
Create the project plan
Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
2)Upgrade Blueprint
The system and components affected
The mapped business processes
The requirements regarding business data
3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
5)Production Cutover and Support
The production solution upgrade
Startup of the solutions in the new release
Post processing activities
Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is
Includes
Function Groups / Function Modules
Programs / Reports
OSS Notes
SAP Repository Objects
SAP Data Dictionary Objects
Domains, Data Elements
Tables, Structures and Views
Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
BDC Programs
Print Programs
SAP Scripts, Screens
User Exits

HT204406 Does iTunes match have to look for all music on my computer and send that data to and from Apple every time I open iTunes? This frequently makes iTunes crash before I even get to listen to one song. Installing the latest version of iTunes does no

Does iTunes have to check all my music for match every time I open iTunes even when nothing has changed in the music folder? This is just one problem I have with iTunes and match. Every time I open iTunes, the first thing happening is iTunes checking my music and sending the information to Apple and then waiting for Apple to send back information about match. There is a third step that I have never seen iTunes actually reach as it always crashes before finishing this ritual with my music and match. Since I paid for match I can no longer use iTunes to listen to any of my music. I like having match function on my iPhone because even 128 GB is not enough space to keep a music library and everything else needed on the iPhone. But it's been a disaster with iTunes on my Windows 7 PC. I updated iTunes recently and the same problem continues. I can't find any clear description of how match works but it seems if there has been no change to the music folder then the tedious and buggy process of checking all music for match and sending data back and forth to Apple every time iTunes is used should not be necessary. Is there possibly something I have to change settings for to help iTunes start without so much to do?

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Process Chain : Read PSA and Update Data Target in BI 7.0

Hello Experts,
In my Process Chain I have a variant Execute Infopackage to load the data only into PSA. then I have next variant as *Read PSA and Update Data Target*. my data target was a Master Data table Hierarchy
In the variant " Read PSA and Update Data Target". the selection Parameters were
PSA.Table : 0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA1
Selection Object Type : same Infopackage in Varaint Execute Infopackage
the Error message was Variant doesnot contain a valid combination request/data target
I checked the PSA-Table using RSA1OLD Transaction then I find four PSA Tables:
0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA1
0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA2
0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA3
0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA4
All the requests are linked to PSA Table *0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA4*.
I can't understand why there exists four PSA Tables?
I try to link the PSA-table 0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA4 in the variant *Read PSA and Update Data Target and try to save it it raises short dump.
If I select 0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA1 in the varaint I shouldn't face any problems.?
but the process chain raises an Error message Variant doesnot contain a valid combination request/data target with this variant.
How shall I handle this issue?
Please carify me the issues as soon as possible.
thanks in advance
Regards
sailekha

Hello,
In the Variant Read PSA and Update Data Target I have to select the PSA Tabelle Name from the preselection list in the System it shows me all the four PSA Tables that I mentioned.
I can select any one of them. So I trieed with all the four PSA Tables in the list but I can selct only the XXXX......BA1 table then only I can save and include it in the PC. If I select the remaining tables BA2, BA3, BA4.........while I try to save the Variant it raises short dump.
I checked the PSA using the Transaction RSA1OLD under PSA...... I find 4 PSA Tables( I don't know whether they are PSA Tables or not but in the Variant it states that they are PSA Tables) in which all the requests are attached to BA4. only.
I observed that ony for Hierarchies I find four PSA tables for remaining one only one PSA table was available.
I totally confused how to handle this situation. any suggestions......... please help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks & Regards

Question on date, time and time stamp related - high priority

Hi friends,
My requirement is to find the processing time (time taken) of a task done by an agent in wf. For that I use Start Date, Start Time, End Date and End Time ( from struc SWP_LOGTAB ). I have to display the time taken by an agent in the form WWd XXh YYm (or WWd XXh YYm ZZs) ex: 2d 10h 40m 20s.
Can any one suggest me the right FMs which take start and end date/time and give me the above format result?
This can be achieved manually with unnecessary Ifs and CASEs but its gonna be a performance issue. Please suggest me something SAP standard.
Thanks in advace for your help
Reddy

Hi,
I don't find any function module, but it does'nt really hard to code this using DIV and MOD instructions :
If you've got your time in seconds :
w_day = w_time DIV 86400.
w_mod = w_time MOD 86400.
w_hour = w_mod DIV 3600.
w_mod = w_mod MOD 3600.
It doesn't seem too bad in term of performance....

Header and Item data in a module pool

Hi Friends,
I designed a screen in that i have header data and item data.
Here in my screen header i have vendor number,Vendor name,
bank Name, Branch, LC value and Due date fields.
and for item details i have to take table control.In the item details i have the fields Sl No, PO Number and Po Value.
and Two push buttons i need to put.SAVE and CANCEL.
When i click on SAVE all my screen details should be saved in a ZTABLE and should generate a LCDOCUMENT-Number from the system.
So my question is shell i take the two tables for header and item data or one is enough and if i take two tables(one is header and one is item data) how i write the logic to store into the ztables.
How can i proceed.Plz provide me with ur inputs
Thanks and Regards.

Hi!
you have to take one table.....in which u have to move the header and item data into that b'coz according to the header data the items are to be displayed.......
select the data for which ever tables they came and then take a final table in which include all the fields of header and item .loop on all the tables from which data u have taken and inside it move the data of those fields into the fields of the final table.
In the ALV u need to call the function module to display the ALV with that final table in which ur all data is there and prepare a field catalog of those fields you want to display in the item list.
for example a sample code is there...
