Problem in creating DB Connect source system

Hi All,
Iam creating a DB Connect source system to a legacy ORACLE database.
Since my legacy database is ORACLE, I have given the TNS name as the connection info.
The source system got created successfully. but the problem is, upon clicking on 'datasource overview', the system has to generate an application component hierarchy. But it is showing the same application component hierarchy which is there for flat file source system, and iam not getting the option to "select Database Tables" where i can create and edit the datasource.
please help me out.
help would be appreciable and carry reward.

Hi,
Create source system first.
you have to select the option "Database system (Data and meta data using SAP DB Connect)".
Now enter the database specific information.
DBMS:
Username:
Pwd:
Conn. Info:
Conn. Info should be the TNS name if it is oracle database.
after giving the relevent information save it, and come back. Source system will be created.
Now right click on source system and select the option " select Database Tables". it will show you the list of tables or views on that database.
select the table/view on which you need to create data source, and click on "edit datasource" there you can generate datasource.
after creating the datasource, replicate it... adn proceed.
any doubts plz ask me.

  • How to create a DB Source system in BW

    Hi Guys,
      Can anybody explain me how to create DB Connect  source system in BW.
    Points will be awarded.
    Thanks,
    Chinna

    Hi Chinna,
    Below are the steps to be followed for the SS creation in BW :
    Prerequisites :
    1.System Number
    2.System IP address
    3.ALEOLTP like userid and password – this is the RFC user ID in the R/3 system. Usually set to communication - must be set to dialog in the R/3 Source System for the duration of the create/restore connection process.  Note: the password must be in capital letters.(If all instances are in unicode system)
    1.At the time of making the connection, the R/3 source system will need to be opened for client independent configuration.
    2.If it is a connection create or restore, the personal userid of the person doing the work must have SM59 access.
    Follow the naming convention which is being used in your system.
    1.     Logon to r/3 source system using the r/3 RFC userid to check that the userid has been set to dialog user. It is mandatory that the r/3 source system userid be setup temporarily as dialog to create the connection. If not contact the requester to have this done before continuing with the next step.
    Note: When re-checking to ensure that the r/3 userid is a dialog user, you may get prompted for new password. Change password, and make a note of the new password. Use this new password in the steps that follow for the r/3 RFC userid.
    2.     Logon to BW system using your own userid.
    3.     Enter transaction RSA1, In Source Systems, right-click on Source Systems as shown below to create new connection.
    4.     In the screen select the appropriate Source System connection type. Suppose your  are creating connection for r/3 instance, so in this case we pick the very first option.
    5.     A popup window will get displayed asking for the necessary information. To fill in the appropriate information in the that screen you need the following information concerning the r/3 source system.
    •     IP address (Application Server) &
    •     System Number
    Get this information for the r/3 source system from the SAP Logon Pad.
    6.     If Parameters have been incorrectly entered  then  the following error message will appear : “Check connection parameters for the source system”.
    7.     Re-check and re-enter correctly. If all is good then You will see the following prompt : Please log on as an administrator in the following screen.”Click green check to continue.
    8.     This will bring you to the r/3 logon screen. Logon using the r/3 RFC id. Once logged on click Check in ‘Check RFC destination’ dialog box.
    9. Consider the r/3 RFC destination screen.
    10. Check to make sure that BW system information (Userid, IP address, System Number etc) is correctly showing in the Technical Settings and Logon/Security tabs. Next do the following,
         Step 1: Enter password for the BW RFC userid id.
         Step 2: Save Settings
         Step 3: From Test Menu , click on authorization. Ensure there are no errors
         Step 4: Back out of screen.
    11.     System may ask you to logon as administrator again. Logon as in Step 10. This time click on Use in ‘Check RFC destination’ dialog box.
    Connection related processing will start up at this time, and continue for a little while (can be a couple minutes or more).
    12.     Subsequently, a dialog box will show up on the screen.
    13. Pick option, Replicate As Well.
    Replication and activation of data sources & transfer structures will begin.
    With the completion of this step you will have successfully established this source system connection. To confirm, right-click on the new source system entry and click on check
    14. If the connection is good, the following message with the source system ID will display at bottom left corner of screen : Source system connection is Ok”.
    Hope this will be helpful to you.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • DB connect source system creation in BI

    Hi,
    I would like to create a DB connect source system to an external MSSQL 2005 database in RSA1.
    The external MSSQL 2005 database is setup using Windows Authentication mode.
    Question: Which user actually should I specify when creating the source system in RSA1? or which user should I assign the db_ddladmin role in the external MSSQL database?
    Many thanks,
    YJ.

    Hi,
    Please note the following with regard to the user:
    To avoid problems loading data, proceed as follows:                   
    1. Create a special login for the extraction. You should add this login to the db_ddladmin database role in the 
    corresponding database. This generates a similar DB user at database level. The user you use must have the 'CREATE VIEW'
    authorization at least.  This is contained in the role mentioned above.
    2. For the extraction, you should only use DB views that were  created under this DB user. (refer also to type conversion, naming       
    convention and so on)                                                    
    3. Assign the necessary authorizations (SELECT at least) to the  selected user in the source tables, or the columns of these tables.      
    4. Use the specially created login in the logon information when you set up the DB source system in BW.   
    You will find much more detailed information on how to setup the connection and known problems and issues in the
    attached note 512739.
    Best Regards,
    Des.

  • Change a migrated DataSource for DB Connect Source System

    Hi,
    I have created a DataSource for a DB connect Source system with transactioncode RSDBC as follows:
    1. select database TableView
    2. choose Edit DataSource
    3. fill in the field Application Component (default stated NODESNOTCONNECTED)
    4. generate datasource
    Result: the datasource has been created in the right application component. As I want to migrate to BW 7 I have migrated the datasource (with export) and afterwards activated it. Now we need to add more fields to the database TableView. After the fields have been added I want to make these fields also available in the DataSource created before.
    How can I do this ?
    When using transaction code RSDBC I found out that the application component is stated again NODESNOTCONNECTED instead of the application component filled before. Is it possible that changes in the TableView will always lead to create the DataSource all over again (new InfoPackage, new Transformation rules, new DTP).
    Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards, Minouschka

    Hello,
    We have basically the same problem. An existing data source from a DB-connect client and now need to add a new field but edit mode BW does not provide the ability to add or delete existing fields.
    Were you able to complete this and if so how did you do it?
    Thank you,
    Rick

  • RFC destination BW could not be created in the source system R3073

    I'm creating a source system for our BW (version 7.0) dev client.I'm linking it to our R/3 4.7 QA client. From RSA1 I select create source system, I enter the system information and in the next screen I'm prompted to log on as system administrator. I'm in QA now and the system automatically crated the RFC connection. I test the connection and it runs ok. I log on to the BW client from QA and it logs on just fine. When I exit the screen I get the following message:
    RFC destination BW could not be created in the source system message number R3073
    Why is this happening? The connection tests just fine.
    I'm using RFCREMOTE user in BW and ALEREMOTE in QA with the same password
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    Hi,
    I cannot tell you surely the settings for SCC4 now (I can't connect to my sys).
    Nevertheless, create your R3QA RFCDEST manually in your BWDEV with SM59.
    Create your BWDEV RFCDEST manually in your BWQA .
    Perform test and authorization test within SM59 from both sys.
    When creating the source system in BW the system will detect the RFC and ask you if you want to use it; accept an proceed the the rest of the procedure.
    hope this helps...
    Olivier.

  • Not display views/tables on DB connect source system

    Dear Experts,
    After creating a oracle DB connect source system, I want to create data sources based on oracle db. But it is not showing any view/table.
    Connection is up and running.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Thilini

    Hi Thilini,
    Are you sure that the DB user on Oracle has sufficient authorizations?
    Does the search help support wildcards? Did you try w/o any wildcard or enter a table or a view name supplied by your Oracle DBA?
    Best regards,
    Sander

  • How to create file type source system connection

    Hi All,
    I have to load data from Flat files , but when i checked the source system connections File type source system connection is not present. Please guide me how can i create the same.
    Apoorva

    Hi Apoorva,
    Goto RSA1 -> Source System -> Right Click on File Folder .-> Create -> Logical system Name as FLAT FILE -> Source system name is the description for this source -> Enter.
    Once it is created you can right click from that file and check whether it has created properly or not.
    When u r moving the objects which are created under this source, the same flat file source should have been created in the target system also. And check for the entry in the target system table RSLOGSYSMAP for the flat file when u r moving the flat file objects.
    Regards,
    Muthu.

  • Error while Creating Flat file Source System

    Hi Friends,
    The message "No entry for BW_USER in table RSADMIN available" is shown when I try to create a Source System for File System(Manual Metadata, Data using File Interface). Could somebody help me please.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hanuma Reddy

    Hi,
    I have solved this problem from SDN by seeing below reply to some others question. Thanks Ajay.
    I think this problem comes if you have used more than one client in BW (for example if you logged on to 000 and ran admin workbench initially after installation, and then if you prepared another client for use as BW client).
    Look at OSS note 410952, it mentions of the same error. The fix as mentioned in the note is as follows
    Symptom
    You receive the error message when trying to connect a source system to the Admininistrator Workbench:
    "No entry for BW_USER in table RSADMIN exists" (message number RSAR 059).
    Additional key words
    RSAR059, APO, RSADMINA
    Cause and prerequisites
    In table RSADMINA, the BW user is not maintained for ALE.
    Solution
    Maintain the entry using the following path:
    Call Administrator workbench (transaction RSA1).
    From the 'Settings' menu, select Global Settings'.
    If an entry already exists in the field "BW user for ALE", delete this.
    Enter the correct names for the BW users in this field.
    Save the entry.
    You must restart the Administrator Workbench (RSA1) now.
    The source system can now be linked without errors.

  • RFC destination BW could not be created in the source system

    Hi,
    Recently I installed  BI 7.0 on Win 2003 and try to create a SAP system in RSA1.
    I try to connect R/3 system (on UNIX) and getting RFC connection error u201CRFC user logon failed. Check the connection.u201D  & u201CRFC destination BW could not be created in the source systemu201D. However, I test the connection and it is working fine.
    Please suggest the solution.
    Regards,
    Rajesh

    Rajesh,
    Answer is very simple. I did get same kind of problem. It is very simple answer depending on your R3 version.
    Use password all capital letters. Don't include any small letter at all. unlock your user id and change password to capital letter. BW doesn't like small and capital letter mix. this bug is fixed in ECC 6.0

  • DB Connect Source System Creation

    Hi,
      I am trying to create source system (DB Connect) to extract data from SQL Server to BI.
      I had user id/pwd in DB who is authorised to read view created by DB personnel.
    n BW Description of Database Connections Screen
    There are two fields
    CONN.INFO and PERMANENT
    What is the functionality of those 2 fields and from where can i get CONN.INFO
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Hi,
    Please note the following with regard to the user:
    To avoid problems loading data, proceed as follows:                   
    1. Create a special login for the extraction. You should add this login to the db_ddladmin database role in the 
    corresponding database. This generates a similar DB user at database level. The user you use must have the 'CREATE VIEW'
    authorization at least.  This is contained in the role mentioned above.
    2. For the extraction, you should only use DB views that were  created under this DB user. (refer also to type conversion, naming       
    convention and so on)                                                    
    3. Assign the necessary authorizations (SELECT at least) to the  selected user in the source tables, or the columns of these tables.      
    4. Use the specially created login in the logon information when you set up the DB source system in BW.   
    You will find much more detailed information on how to setup the connection and known problems and issues in the
    attached note 512739.
    Best Regards,
    Des.
