Process to Extract the data from R/3 to MDM .

Hi
Can any one Explain the process of how the data is Extracted from the R/3 to MDM.
If any doc plz mail me to [email protected]
Thanking you in Advance.
Hari.

Hi,
To extract data from R/3 to MDM you would need to first set up a port to XI (if it is your integrator) and then establish an FTP to the MDM server.
R/3 has lookup data/check table data that can be extracted to MDM to do this you could run standard code provided by SAP extract the lookup data as an xml file & upload this data using hte standard maps in to the MDM repository
If you have any custom tables in R/3 you could extract that data using MDMGX transaction code .
Finally for the actual master data you could set up extraction variants using MDM_CLNT_EXTR and schedule jobs to run them/ MDMC to extract records.
Please find the IT Scenario config guide & other relevant documents at:

  • Use LINQ to extract the data from a file...

    Hi,
    I have created a Subprocedure CreateEventList
    which populates an EventsComboBox
    with a current day's events (if any).
    I need to store the events in a generic List communityEvents
    which is a collection of
    communityEvent
    objects. This List needs to be created and assigned to the instance variable
    communityEvents.
    This method should call helper method ExtractData
    which will use LINQ to extract the data from my file.
    The specified day is the date selected on the calendar control. This method will be called from the CreateEventList.
    This method should clear all data from List communityEvents.  
    A LINQ
    query that creates CommunityEvent
    objects should select the events scheduled for selected
    day from the file. The selected events should be added to List
    communityEvents.
    See code below.
    Thanks,
    public class CommunityEvent

    Any help here would be great.
    Look, you have to make the file a XML file type -- Somefilename.xml.
    http://www.xmlfiles.com/xml/xml_intro.asp
    You can use NotePad XML to make the XML and save the text file.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296560
    Or you can just use Notepad (standard), if you know the basics of how to create XML, which is just text data that can created and saved in a text file, which, represents data.
    http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/522456/Reading-XML-using-LINQ
    You can do a (select new CommunityEvent) just like the example is doing a
    select new FileToWatch and load the XML data into the CommunityEvent properties.
    So you need to learn how to make a manual XML textfile with XML data in it, and you need to learn how to use LINQ to read the XML. Linq is not going to work against some  flat text file you created. There are plenty of examples out on Bing and Google
    on how to use Linq-2-XML.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Integrated_Query
    <copied>
    LINQ extends the language by the addition of query
    expressions, which are akin to
    SQL statements, and can be used to conveniently extract and process data from
    arrays, enumerable
    classes, XML documents,
    relational databases, and third-party data sources. Other uses, which utilize query expressions as a general framework for readably composing arbitrary computations, include the construction of event handlers<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-reactive_2-0">[2]</sup>

  • I am extracting the data from ECC To bw .but Data Loading taking long tim

    Hi All,
                     i am extracting the data from ECC To BI Syatem..but Data Loading Taking Long time. from last   6 hoursinfopackage is running.still it is showing yellow.Manually i made the red.and delete again i applied repeat of the last delta.but same proble is coming .in the status job is showing bckground job is not finished at source system.we requested to basis.basis people killed that job.again we schedule the chain also again same problem is coming.how can i solve this issue.
    Thanks ,
    chandu

    Hi,
    There are different places to track your job. Once your job is triggered in BW, you can track your load job where exactly it is taking more time and why. Follow below steps:
    1) After InfoPackage is triggered, then take the request number and go to source system to check your extraction job status.
    You can get the job status by taking the request number from BW and go to transaction SM37 in ECC. Then give the request number with begining '' and ending ''.  Also give '*' to user name.
    Job name:  REQ_XXXXXX
    User Name: *
    Check the job status whether job is completed or cancelled or short dump. If the job is still running check in SM66 whether you can see any process. If not accordingly you got to check in ST22 or SM21 in ECC. If the job is complete, then the same in BW side now.
    2) Check the data arrived in PSA, if not check whether Transfer routines or start routines are having bad SQL or code. Similarly in update rules.
    3) Once it is through in Source system (ECC), Transfer rules , Update Rules, then the next task is updating the data might some time take more time which might be based on some parameters ( Number of parallel process to update database ). Check whether updating the database is taking more time and may be you got to check with the DBA guy also.
    At all the times you should see minimum of atleast once process running all the time in SM66 till the time your job gets complete. If not you will see a log in ST22.
    Let me know if you still have questions.
    Assigning points is the only way of saying thanks in SDN.
    Thanks,
    Kumar.

  • Can't extract the data from sourse system

    hi,everyone
       i have a question about extracting the data from sourse system.i created a general datasourse.in the r3 system,i used t-code:rsa3 to extract the data successful. but ,when i replicate the datasourse to the bw system,i can't extract the data to the psa. in the process of the extracting,accur a error like below:
    Errors while sending packages from OLTP to BI
    Diagnosis
    No IDocs could be sent to BI using RFC.
    System Response
    There are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of BI.
    Further analysis:
    Check the TRFC log.
    You can access this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".
    Error handling:
    If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is fully connected to BI. In particular, check the
    authorizations of the background user in the source system.
    who can tell me why?
    thx
    zhang

    Hi zhang,
    Please check the below points.
    1. Perform the connection and authorization test in SM59 for the RFC connecion.
    2. Make sure the RFC user extracting the data is having sufficient authorization and correct profile as per note 150315.
    3. make sure there are sufficient number of Dialog process in BW in SM50.
    4. check T code SM58 in source system for any more errors.
    5. check the connection between the systems.
    Check
    Note 561880 - Requests hang because IDocs are not processed.
    Note 535172 - IDoc: Dup. IDocs in tRFC inbound processing w/ runtime error
    Note 555229 - IDocs hang in status 64 for tRFC with immediate processing
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to extract the data from ECC 6.0 to PSA

    Hello,
    I'm trying to extract the data from ECC 6.0 data source name as 2LIS_11_VAHDR into BI 7.0
    When i try to load Full Load into PSA , I'm getting following error message
    Error Message: "DataSource 2LIS_11_VAHDR must be activated"
    Actually the data source already active , I look at the datasource using T-code LBWE it is active.

    If anybody faced this error message please advise what i'm doing wrong?
    Advance thanks

    ECC 6.0 side
    Delete the setup tables
    Fill the data into setup tables
    Schedule the job
    I can see the data using RSA3 (2LIS_11_VAHDR) 1000 records

    Replicate the datasource in Production in Backgroud
    Migrate Datasource 3.5 to 7.0 in Development
    I did't migrate 3.5 to 7.0 in Production it's not allowing
    When i try to schedule the InfoPakage it's giving error message "Data Source is not active"
    I'm sure this problem relate to Data Source 3.5 to 7.0 convertion problem in production. In Development there is no problem because manually i convert the datasource 3.5 to 7.0

  • Is it possible to Extract the Data from Website?

    Dear Experts,
            Is it possible to Extract the Data from Website and Upload it in the SAP Table?.It is very Urgent.Please help me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ashok.

    Hi Friend,
    Generaly if it is one time activity you can do it manually by copy paste in excel.
    But if it is weekly or monthly activity then you have to ask website provide to provide data in excel or CSV file and upload it into SAP.
    I have a situtation like this, and they (Rapaport price) provide it in CSV format with defined columns.
    So it is better to raise the issue to website provider.

  • What are the major process to transfer the data from legacy to sap system.

    What are the major process to transfer the data from legacy to sap system using BDC at Real Time only?

    hi,
    BATCH DATA COMMUNICATION
    main methods are:
    1. SESSION METHOD
    2. CALL TRANSACTION
    3. DIRECT INPUT
    Advantages offered by BATCH INPUT method:
    1. Can process large data volumes in batch.
    2. Can be planned and submitted in the background.
    3. No manual interaction is required when data is transferred.
    4. Data integrity is maintained as whatever data is transferred to the table is through transaction. Hence batch input data is submitted to all the checks and validations.
    To implement one of the supported data transfers, you must often write the program that exports the data from your non-SAP system. This program, known as a “data transfer” program must map the data from the external system into the data structure required by the SAP batch input program.
    The batch input program must build all of the input to execute the SAP transaction.
    Two main steps are required:
    • To build an internal table containing every screen and every field to be filled in during the execution of an SAP transaction.
    • To pass the table to SAP for processing.
    Prerequisite for Data Transfer Program
    Writing a Data Transfer Program involves following prerequisites:
    Analyzing data from local file
    Analyzing transaction
    Analyzing transaction involves following steps:
    • The transaction code, if you do not already know it.
    • Which fields require input i.e., mandatory.
    • Which fields can you allow to default to standard values.
    • The names, types, and lengths of the fields that are used by a transaction.
    • Screen number and Name of module pool program behind a particular transaction.
    To analyze a transaction::
    • Start the transaction by menu or by entering the transaction code in the command box.
    (You can determine the transaction name by choosing System – Status.)
    • Step through the transaction, entering the data will be required for processing your batch input data.
    • On each screen, note the program name and screen (dynpro) number.
    (dynpro = dyn + pro. Dyn = screen, pro = number)
    • Display these by choosing System – Status. The relevant fields are Program (dynpro) and Dynpro number. If pop-up windows occur during execution, you can get the program name and screen number by pressing F1 on any field or button on the screen.
    The technical info pop-up shows not only the field information but also the program and screen.
    • For each field, check box, and radio button on each screen, press F1 (help) and then choose Technical Info.
    Note the following information:
    - The field name for batch input, which you’ll find in its own box.
    - The length and data type of the field. You can display this information by double clicking on the Data Element field.
    • Find out the identification code for each function (button or menu) that you must execute to process the batch-input data (or to go to new screen).
    Place the cursor on the button or menu entry while holding down the left mouse button. Then press F1.
    In the pop-up window that follows, choose Technical info and note the code that is shown in the Function field.
    You can also run any function that is assigned to a function key by way of the function key number. To display the list of available function keys, click on the right mouse button. Note the key number that is assigned to the functions you want to run.
    Once you have program name, screen number, field name (screen field name), you can start writing.
    DATA TRANSFER program.
    Declaring internal table
    First Integral Table similar to structure like local file.
    Declaring internal table like BDCDATA
    The data from internal table is not transferred directly to database table, it has to go through transaction. You need to pass data to particular screen and to particular screen-field. Data is passed to transaction in particular format, hence there is a need for batch input structure.
    The batch input structure stores the data that is to be entered into SAP system and the actions that are necessary to process the data. The batch input structure is used by all of the batch input methods. You can use the same structure for all types of batch input, regardless of whether you are creating a session in the batch input queue or using CALL TRANSACTION.
    This structure is BDCDATA, which can contain the batch input data for only a single run of a transaction. The typical processing loop in a program is as follows:
    • Create a BDCDATA structure
    • Write the structure out to a session or process it with CALL TRANSACTION USING; and then
    • Create a BDCDATA structure for the next transaction that is to be processed.
    Within a BDCDATA structure, organize the data of screens in a transaction. Each screen that is processed in the course of a transaction must be identified with a BDCDATA record. This record uses the Program, Dynpro, and Dynbegin fields of the structure.
    The screen identifier record is followed by a separate BDCDATA record for each value, to be entered into a field. These records use the FNAM and FVAL fields of the BDCDATA structure. Values to be entered in a field can be any of the following:
    • Data that is entered into screen fields.
    • Function codes that are entered into the command field. Such function codes execute functions in a transaction, such as Save or Enter.
    The BDCDATA structure contains the following fields:
    • PROGRAM: Name of module pool program associated with the screen. Set this field only for the first record for the screen.
    • DYNPRO: Screen Number. Set this field only in the first record for the screen.
    • DYNBEGIN: Indicates the first record for the screen. Set this field to X, only for the first record for the screen. (Reset to ‘ ‘ (blank) for all other records.)
    • FNAM: Field Name. The FNAM field is not case-sensitive.
    • FVAL: Value for the field named in FNAM. The FVAL field is case-sensitive. Values assigned to this field are always padded on the right, if they are less than 132 characters. Values must be in character format.
    Transferring data from local file to internal table
    Data is uploaded to internal table by UPLOAD of WS_UPLOAD function.
    Population of BDCDATA
    For each record of internal table, you need to populate Internal table, which is similar to BDCDATA structure.
    All these five initial steps are necessary for any type of BDC interface.
    DATA TRANSFER program can call SESSION METHOD or CALL TRANSACTION. The initial steps for both the methods are same.
    First step for both the methods is to upload the data to internal table. From Internal Table, the data is transferred to database table by two ways i.e., Session method and Call transaction.
    SESSION METHOD
    About Session method
    In this method you transfer data from internal table to database table through sessions.
    In this method, an ABAP/4 program reads the external data that is to be entered in the SAP System and stores the data in session. A session stores the actions that are required to enter your data using normal SAP transaction i.e., Data is transferred to session which in turn transfers data to database table.
    Session is intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with its action is stored in session i.e., data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, the program name behind it, and how the next screen is processed.
    When the program has finished generating the session, you can run the session to execute the SAP transactions in it. You can either explicitly start and monitor a session or have the session run in the background processing system.
    Unless session is processed, the data is not transferred to database table.
    BDC_OPEN_GROUP
    You create the session through program by BDC_OPEN_GROUP function.
    Parameters to this function are:
    • User Name: User name
    • Group: Name of the session
    • Lock Date: The date on which you want to process the session.
    • Keep: This parameter is passed as ‘X’ when you want to retain session after
    processing it or ‘ ‘ to delete it after processing.
    BDC_INSERT
    This function creates the session & data is transferred to Session.
    Parameters to this function are:
    • Tcode: Transaction Name
    • Dynprotab: BDC Data
    BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
    This function closes the BDC Group. No Parameters.
    Some additional information for session processing
    When the session is generated using the KEEP option within the BDC_OPEN_GROUP, the system always keeps the sessions in the queue, whether it has been processed successfully or not.
    However, if the session is processed, you have to delete it manually. When session processing is completed successfully while KEEP option was not set, it will be removed automatically from the session queue. Log is not removed for that session.
    If the batch-input session is terminated with errors, then it appears in the list of INCORRECT session and it can be processed again. To correct incorrect session, you can analyze the session. The Analysis function allows to determine which screen and value has produced the error. If you find small errors in data, you can correct them interactively, otherwise you need to modify batch input program, which has generated the session or many times even the data file.
    CALL TRANSACTION
    About CALL TRANSACTION
    A technique similar to SESSION method, while batch input is a two-step procedure, Call Transaction does both steps online, one after the other. In this method, you call a transaction from your program by
    Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
    Mode <A/N/E>
    Update <S/A>
    Messages into <MSGTAB>.
    Parameter – 1 is transaction code.
    Parameter – 2 is name of BDCTAB table.
    Parameter – 3 here you are specifying mode in which you execute transaction
    A is all screen mode. All the screen of transaction are displayed.
    N is no screen mode. No screen is displayed when you execute the transaction.
    E is error screen. Only those screens are displayed wherein you have error record.
    Parameter – 4 here you are specifying update type by which database table is updated.
    S is for Synchronous update in which if you change data of one table then all the related Tables gets updated. And sy-subrc is returned i.e., sy-subrc is returned for once and all.
    A is for Asynchronous update. When you change data of one table, the sy-subrc is returned. And then updating of other affected tables takes place. So if system fails to update other tables, still sy-subrc returned is 0 (i.e., when first table gets updated).
    Parameter – 5 when you update database table, operation is either successful or unsuccessful or operation is successful with some warning. These messages are stored in internal table, which you specify along with MESSAGE statement. This internal table should be declared like BDCMSGCOLL, a structure available in ABAP/4. It contains the following fields:
    1. Tcode: Transaction code
    2. Dyname: Batch point module name
    3. Dynumb: Batch input Dyn number
    4. Msgtyp: Batch input message type (A/E/W/I/S)
    5. Msgspra: Batch input Lang, id of message
    6. Msgid: Message id
    7. MsgvN: Message variables (N = 1 - 4)
    For each entry, which is updated in database, table message is available in BDCMSGCOLL. As BDCMSGCOLL is structure, you need to declare a internal table which can contain multiple records (unlike structure).
    Steps for CALL TRANSACTION method
    1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
    2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
    3. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
    4. Loop at itab.
    Populate BDCTAB table.
    Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
    Mode <A/N/E>
    Update <S/A>.
    Refresh BDCTAB.
    Endloop.
    (To populate BDCTAB, You need to transfer each and every field)
    The major differences between Session method and Call transaction are as follows:
    SESSION METHOD CALL TRANSACTION
    1. Data is not updated in database table unless Session is processed. Immediate updation in database table.
    2. No sy-subrc is returned. Sy-subrc is returned.
    3. Error log is created for error records. Errors need to be handled explicitly
    4. Updation in database table is always synchronous Updation in database table can be synchronous Or Asynchronous.
    Error Handling in CALL TRANSACTION
    When Session Method updates the records in database table, error records are stored in the log file. In Call transaction there is no such log file available and error record is lost unless handled. Usually you need to give report of all the error records i.e., records which are not inserted or updated in the database table. This can be done by the following method:
    Steps for the error handling in CALL TRANSACTION
    1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
    2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
    3. Internal table BDCMSG like BDCMSGCOLL
    4. Internal table similar to Ist internal table
    (Third and fourth steps are for error handling)
    5. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from the local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
    6. Loop at itab.
    Populate BDCTAB table.
    Call transaction <tr.code> using <Bdctab>
    Mode <A/N/E>
    Update <S/A>
    Messages <BDCMSG>.
    Perform check.
    Refresh BDCTAB.
    Endloop.
    7 Form check.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0. (Call transaction returns the sy-subrc if updating is not successful).
    Call function Format_message.
    (This function is called to store the message given by system and to display it along with record)
    Append itab2.
    Display the record and message.
    DIRECT INPUT
    About Direct Input
    In contrast to batch input, this technique does not create sessions, but stores the data directly. It does not simulate the online transaction. To enter the data into the corresponding database tables directly, the system calls a number of function modules that execute any necessary checks. In case of errors, the direct input technique provides a restart mechanism. However, to be able to activate the restart mechanism, direct input programs must be executed in the background only. Direct input checks the data thoroughly and then updates the database directly.
    You can start a Direct Input program in two ways;
    Start the program directly
    This is the quickest way to see if the program works with your flat file. This option is possible with all direct input programs. If the program ends abnormally, you will not have any logs telling you what has or has not been posted. To minimize the chance of this happening, always use the check file option for the first run with your flat file. This allows you to detect format errors before transfer.
    Starting the program via the DI administration transaction
    This transaction restarts the processing, if the data transfer program aborts. Since DI document are immediately posted into the SAP D/B, the restart option prevents the duplicate document posting that occurs during a program restart (i.e., without adjusting your flat file).
    Direct input is usually done for standard data like material master, FI accounting document, SD sales order and Classification for which SAP has provided standard programs.
    First time you work with the Direct Input administration program, you will need to do some preparation before you can transfer data:
    - Create variant
    - Define job
    - Start job

    Common batch input errors
    - The batch input BDCDATA structure tries to assign values to fields which do not exist in the current transaction screen.
    - The screen in the BDCDATA structure does not match the right sequence, or an intermediate screen is missing.
    - On exceptional occasions, the logic flow of batch input session does not exactly match that of manual online processing. Testing the sessions online can discover by this.
    - The BDCDATA structure contains fields, which are longer than the actual definition.
    - Authorization problems.
    RECORDING A BATCH INPUT
    A B recording allows you to record a R/3 transaction and generate a program that contains all screens and field information in the required BDC-DATA format.
    You can either use SHDB transaction for recording or
    SYSTEM ? SERVICES ? BATCH INPUT ? EDIT
    And from here click recording.
    Enter name for the recording.
    (Dates are optional)
    Click recording.
    Enter transaction code.
    Enter.
    Click Save button.
    You finally come to a screen where, you have all the information for each screen including BDC_OKCODE.
    • Click Get Transaction.
    • Return to BI.
    • Click overview.
    • Position the cursor on the just recorded entry and click generate program.
    • Enter program name.
    • Click enter
    The program is generated for the particular transaction.
    BACKGROUND PROCESSING
    Need for Background processing
    When a large volume of data is involved, usually all batch inputs are done in background.
    The R/3 system includes functions that allow users to work non-interactively or offline. The background processing systems handle these functions.
    Non-interactively means that instead of executing the ABAP/4 programs and waiting for an answer, user can submit those programs for execution at a more convenient planned time.
    There are several reasons to submit programs for background execution.
    • The maximum time allowed for online execution should not exceed 300 seconds. User gets TIMEOUT error and an aborted transaction, if time for execution exceeds 300 seconds. To avoid these types of error, you can submit jobs for background processing.
    • You can use the system while your program is executing.
    This does not mean that interactive or online work is not useful. Both type of processing have their own purposes. Online work is the most common one entering business data, displaying information, printing small reports, managing the system and so on. Background jobs are mainly used for the following tasks; to process large amount of data, to execute periodic jobs without human intervention, to run program at a more convenient, planned time other than during normal working hours i.e., Nights or weekends.
    The transaction for background processing is SM36.
    Or
    Tools ? Administration ? Jobs ? Define jobs
    Or
    System ? services ? Jobs
    Components of the background jobs
    A job in Background processing is a series of steps that can be scheduled and step is a program for background processing.
    • Job name. Define the name of assigned to the job. It identifies the job. You can specify up to 32 characters for the name.
    • Job class. Indicates the type of background processing priority assigned to the job.
    The job class determines the priority of a job. The background system admits three types of job classes: A B & C, which correspond to job priority.
    • Job steps. Parameters to be passed for this screen are as follows:
    Program name.
    Variant if it is report program
    Start criteria for the job: Option available for this are as follows:
    Immediate - allows you to start a job immediately.
    Date/Time - allows you to start a job at a specific name.
    After job - you can start a job after a particular job.
    After event - allows you to start a job after a particular event.
    At operation mode - allows you to start a job when the system switches to a particular operation mode.
    Defining Background jobs
    It is two step process: Firstly, you define the job and then release it.
    When users define a job and save it, they are actually scheduling the report i.e., specifying the job components, the steps, the start time.
    When users schedule program for background processing, they are instructing the system to execute an ABAP/4 report or an external program in the background. Scheduled jobs are not executed until they are released. When jobs are released, they are sent for execution to the background processing system at the specified start time. Both scheduling and releasing of jobs require authorizations.
    HANDLING OF POP UP SCREEN IN BDC
    Many times in transaction pop up screen appears and for this screen you don’t pass any record but some indication to system telling it to proceed further. For example: The following screen
    To handle such screen, system has provided a variable called BDC_CURSOR. You pass this variable to BDCDATA and process the screen.
    Usually such screen appears in many transactions, in this case you are just passing information, that YES you want to save the information, that means YES should be clicked. So you are transferring this information to BDCDATA i.e., field name of YES which is usually SPOT_OPTION. Instead of BDC_OKCODE, you are passing BDC_CURSOR.
    BDC_CURSOR is also used to place cursor on particular field.
    A simple transaction where you are entering customer number on first screen and on next screen data is displayed for the particular customer number. Field, which we are changing here, are name and city. When you click on save, the changed record gets saved.
    Prerequisite to write this BDC interface as indicated earlier is:
    1. To find screen number
    2. To find screen field names, type of the field and length of the field.
    3. To find BDC_OKCODE for each screen
    4. Create flat file.
    generally  Batch Input usually are used to transfer large amount of data. For example you are implementing a new SAP project, and of course you will need some data transfer from legacy system to SAP system.
    CALL TRANSACTION is used especially for integration actions between two SAP systems or between different modules. Users sometimes wish to do something like that click a button or an item then SAP would inserts or changes data automatically. Here CALL TRANSACTION should be considered.
    2. Transfer data for multiple transactions usually the Batch Input method is used.
