Question about Extraction of master data from R/3 into BI 3.5

Hi there,
i want to extract master data, let's say customers or material, from an R/3 system into BI 3.5.
Now I know that SAP delivers ready-to-go DataSources for certain SAP applications that can be used for this type of situation. These DataSources will map some R/3 table fields for example to the according Business Content objects in BI.
My question is:
Is there some ready-to-go DataSource for the master data i want to extract? Let it be customer data. Or "business partners" is the appropriate expression i think.
When I use Tcode SBIW to activate the DataSource I need for the extraction, I kind of have problems finding the right one. But for some simple master data I assume there must be a standard DataSource that I can use without bothering to change anything.
Or am I thinking the wrong way and it is easier than I think?
Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Some DataSources are 0MATERIAL_ATTR - 0ARTICLE_ATTR - 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR - 0ART_PLANT_ATTR - 0MAT_SALES_ATTR...
Consider that in some cases (Retail for example) you can find Master Data with 50mln of records, in this case you need absolutely delta upload method, offered by these extractors.
And above all you can always enhance these extractors.
You can built your custom extractors, on MARA - MARC - MBEW - ..., but you will not have delta capabilities and support from SAP for maintenance.
Ciao.

  • How to extract HRM master data from R/3 into LDIF file?

    Recently I have been asked to provide an extract from our R/3 system
    with some Human Resource master data. The extract has to be in the LDIF
    format (LDAP data interchange format). It is needed to import into a
    DirX metahub solution from Siemens.
    How can this be done most easily?
    (does SAP provide tools, can XI do this?) or do we have to write a
    customized abap to do this?
    Thanks in advance
    Kind regards

    Hi Satish,
    As per SAP Standard also the best way is to delete whole data from the cube and then load the data from set up tables as you have enhanced the data source.
    After data source enhancement it is supported to load normally because you don't get any historical data for that field.
    Best way is to take down time from the users, normally we do in weekends/non-business hours.
    Then fill the set-up tables; if the data is of huge volume you can adopt parallel mechanism like:
    1. Load set-up tables by yearly basis as a background job.
    2. Load set-up tables by yearly basis with posting periods from jan 1st to 31st dec of any year basis as a background job.
    This can make your self easier and faster for load of set-up tables. After filling up set-up tables. You can unlock all users as there is no worries of postings.
    Then after you can load all the data into BI first into PSA and then into Cube.

  • Unable to extract Customer Master data from MDC

    Hello,
    We creating an MDM-XI-ERP2005 Customer scenario. We want to work with all bussiness scenarios (not customizing scenario).
    First I'm trying to extract Customer Master Data from EP 2005 using MDM_CLNT_EXTR.
    I have created a New Variant which properties are:
    Variant: CUSTOMER_TOTAL
    Description: Send all customer data to MDM
    Extraction Object: CUSTOMER_EXTRACT.
    Target System: PI7.
    But, the display jobs shows the following error: Could not determine recipients for message type MDMRECEIPT. Job cancelled after system exception.
    We need to focus the problem. We have done the following ALE configuration.
    SALE transaction:
    In Basic Settings -> Logical Systems -> Define Logical System we have add the following logical systems:
                  EUS100
                  MDM: Master Data Management
                  PI7: Process Integration 7.0
    WE21:
    Transactional RFC -> PI7, IDOC record types SAP Release 4.x

    WE20 transaction shows:
    Partner profiles -> Partner Type LS (logical system)
                        PI7: Outbound parmtrs. DEBMDM, SYNCH.
    Any idea will be very helpful,
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry because I made a mistake in my previous message. ALE seems to be correctly configured. I'll try to update correctly my current situation:
    In WE02 I can see al IDOCs that I'm trying to send to XI. All them have the IDoc Status = 3 (Data Passed to Port OK) instead of 12 Status Dispatch OK :(. So, It seems an tRFC error.
    SM58 shows me more trails: "Basic type 'DEBMDM06' is unknown"
    before that I have done the following steps at SAP ERP:
        1. WE21: I have created a PI7 port with 700PI70CLNT RFC.
        2. SM59: I have checked successfully 700PI70CLNT RFC connection.
        3. WE20: I have created a PI7 Partner Type LS with the following inbound and outbound parameters: DEBMDM and MDMRECEIPT.
        4. BD64: I have created a Distribution Model with DEBMDM and MDMRECEIPT message types.
    and at SAP PI:
         5.IDX: Port: SAPEUS. Client: 111. RFC Destination: PI7.
         6. technical and business system for sender SAP system(System Landscape Directory)...
    - Maybe some of the previous steps is not correct....
    - Is RFC Destination = PI7 is correct in step #5?
    - Is also necessary to configure more steps in PI system like RFC destinations or Transactional port?
    - I have read that is neccessary to check that the option "transfer idoc immediately" in we20. How?
    Please any idea will be very helpful.......
    Thank you!

  • Extraction of master data from R3 into BW.

    Hello.
    This is my new SAP BI assignment:
    I'm going to use standard SAP InfoOjects (from Business Content) in order to build a new InfoCube (Logistics - MM/SD) with for example standard Characteristics like: 0MATERIAL, 0MATL_GROUP, 0SHIP_TO, 0SOLD_TO, 0SALESORG, 0PROD_HIER, 0CUST_GROUP, 0COMP_CODE... (_Note: NO generic extraction involved_)
    My question is, do I need some extra "Process Chain"  (Tcode: RSPC) in order to bring all these characteristics and all associated master data/texts, attributes and hierarchies from the R/3 ( source system) into BW, or these data will come with a standard extractor into SAP BW? I mean no extra work is needed for  bringing master data from R/3 in to BW?
    Another question, Is there any way to know which Characteristics need an extra "Process Chain"  (Tcode: RSPC) in order to bring associated master data/texts, attributes and hierarchies from the R/3 ( source system) into BW?
    Regards
    ASantos

    Hi ,
    1. In SAP R3 system go to the transaction RSA6, find the application component then select the data Source and view the structure of the data source and  select all the required fields.
    2. As you said no generic data source involve , then create the generic data source using the transaction SBIW, generic data sources have many creation options. view is the simplest.You can create a viewwith all requred fields on the top of different source table fieldsa per your requirement.
    3.Now go to the transaction RSA3 the extractor checker ,give name of your ectractor as input and check this data source.
    4.go to BW system,transaction RSA1, find the source system then replicate the metadata in the corresponding application component.After replication only the structure of the data source is copied not the actual data.
    5. Create InfoPackage, so that the actual data is loaded in the PSA table.
    6. Create transformation between the data source and the corresponding data target (InfoProvider - infoobject, cube, DSO). This is done by mapping the source fields with target fields using the appropriate rule type.If there are some update rules in R3 system then you may need to write some field level routines depend on your requirement.
    7.Create DTP between the source and target, and execte it .It will load actual data into the target.
    8.then more transformation and DTP can be created and executed according to the requirements, like from DSO to cube. Thus the data is available in BW data targets on which query can be generated for reporting.
    I don't think you need any process chain for this .this is manual process but loading DTP and all can be automated via creating process chain .
    For more guidence you an refer this document:

  • To extract portal activity data from the portal into Solution manager.

    HI all,
          I need to extract the portal activity data from the portal into Solution  Manager BI and then later on into the SAP BW in order to generate BEx reports on the portal activity data. I need to know about the configuartions that are needed to be done on the portal side and the solution manager side so as to get the data into SolMan from portal.  Waiting for a response.
    Thanks and regards,
    Divya.

    Hi
    In solution manager you can do the  analysis of the ADC data files (Portal activity reporting) as as part of the End-to-End Diagnostics (Portal Activity Reporting tab in the End-to-End Workload Analysis).
    Will you see the Portal Activity Reporting tab under End-to-End Workload Analysis?
    by default PAR in SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 is deactivated ,since we requires
    some manual configuration of the Activity Data Collector.
    please follow the attached config guide in the SAP note for configuration.

  • Question about moving all iTunes data from one computer to another.

    I have a Windows XP. Now I have a windows 7. All of the songs from the XP are available on the new computer via a Z drive. But when I plug my iPod into the new computer it says that it is registered with a different library and asks me if I want to delete all the songs and apps and replace them from the ones on the new library. I don't want that to happen. And all of the apps on the old computer aren't available on the new one. How do I get the apps from one computer to another, and how do I sync my iPod on the new computer without erasing all high scores, app data, songs, and other information? And how do I get a song fro the new computer back to the old one?
    Devin

    This is the way I would normally recommend that you migrate your library from one computer to another.
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    If you have content on the new computer that you want to add to the library on the old one then copy that across via network/memory stick etc. before attempting to migrate the library again.

  • RDA method to extract MAster Data from R/3

    We need to implement the way to extract the Master Data from R/3 As soon as it available in R/3, but it's not like the new MAster Data is loaded in R/3 every 5 minutes, it's more like 3 o 4 times a month and i thought about RDA method, just wanted to see you opinion on wheather it is a good option for such an infrequent loads to BW
    Does this DAEMON eats a lot of system resources? Pleas if the answer could be provided by someone who actually use RDA, it be great!

    Hi,
    We use RDA for systems where the load is very frequent, but a Process Chain would do the required in your case as the data gets updated only a few times in a month.
    RDA will be occupied in the Background Process, so that would create some problems. And it keeps on chiecking for new data.
    I feel its unnecessary. So, go for Process Chains

  • How to handle/extract Hierarchies in master data from R3

    Hi Experts!!!
    Iu2019m currently working on HR Implementation project and this is my first project. Implementation is being done in BI 7.0 and ECC 6.0. I have some queries  regarding the extraction of master data from R3 as furnished below.
    1.     By default all the datasources  are in 3.x technology  and Iu2019ve migrated all the datasources with export and successfully performed InfoPackages  and  DTPS  into their respective InfoObjects/Data targets. But when it comes to the masterdata datasources with hierarchies, Iu2019m unable to migrate them as there is no MIGRATE option in the context menu. When I tried to create infopackage, it asked me to create Transfer rules first and perform InfoPackage. Is it mandatory to work in 3.x technology (Transfer rules/ Update rules)  in case of master data hierarchies? In this case how to handle datasources with hierarchies?
    2.     Is it required to have any data staging component  like DSO while extracting master data datasources from SAP R/3  to their respective InfoObjects (Data targets)?? Or can I directly schedule Infopackage and DTP directly into the InfoObject with out any DSOS in between for HR master data??
    Good day!!!

    hello,
    1)
    all DataSource that are created in BI 7.0 are new design, master data attribute, text and transaction DataSource can all be created in the new BI 7.0, but for hierarchy DataSource, it remains as 3.X, if you double click on the Hier DataSource, you will see the title "...Emulated 3.X ...", so the DataSource should be working perfectly fine except it is in "Modified" version, i believe it is just SAP has not or can't a way to upgrade hier DataSource.
    Also,
    RSDS doesnt support hierarchy datasources in BI 7.0. So we cannot use transformations and DTP with hierarchy. So it is very similar to the way we used to load it in 3.x.
    Check below link for step by step procedure to load hierarchy using flat file:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/e92637c2cbf357e10000009b38f936/content.htm
    2)
    i dont think you need a DSO in between for laoding master data from R/3 to BI IO.

    Hi
    1 activate 0Material from R3 side this datasource corresponds has the extract.struct. BIW_MARA_S correponding to material master data (what you need)
    2 install 0Material from business content
    3 replicate in BW
    4 assign your datasource 0material_attr to the infosource 0material_Attr if flexible or create an infosource with direct update
    5 activate transfer rules (if flexible)
    6 create update rules from 0material to your infosource (if flexible)
    7 create an Infopackage, launch the job and check the monitor to see if the upload works.

  • Extract work order data from r/3 system in flat file(csv)and export to BI

    Hi,
    I am new in interface.
    I need to extract data regarding actual cost and quantities of work assigned to Service Providers from SAP system and send it to BI for reporting purposes.
    This interface will extract Master data as well as transactional data. Extraction of Master data will be a full extract and that of transactional data will be Delta Extraction.
    Custom development will extract the data from different fields and will export it to flat files (CSV format). This program will amalgamate all the flat files created into one big file and export it to BI system.
    Export of data to BI system will be done by schedule program Control M, which will export the data from SAP system to BI system in batches. Control M is expected to run daily at night.
    Please provide the step-by-step proces to do this.
    Thanks

  • How to Update Master Data from R/3

    Hi,
    In the R/3 source system, there a few new company code. 
    I have run an infopackage to full update Datasource 0COMP_CODE_ATTR. But when I display data, the new company code is not there.
    I also run rsattr, and selected all the infoObject list. But i still can't see the new company code.
    May I know how to extract the new company code from R/3 to BI?
    What are the steps?
    Thank you.

    Hello
    Check if the DTPs ran and the monitor turns green. The monitor in DTP also tells you how many records are processed.
    After that run the Attribute change Run.
    In general the steps to load master data from R/3 are:
    1. Execute InfoPackage
    2. Run DTP
    3. Run Attribute Change Run
    If the company code still does not show check the tables (P & M tables) to see if the data is there and in active version.
    Hope this helps

    No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.
