Question: Migration from Tibco BW to SAP XI

I have been actively involved in TIBCO BW projects as project co-ordinator for the past year. Now i am thinking of shifting into SAP XI. I am assuming that SAP XI has the same underlying concept as TIBCO BW. Is my assumption correct? If yes then how hard would it be for me to transfer from Tibco to SAP XI. Please provide appopriate justifications for your answers.
Thanks

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 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

Thanks

Hi Kiran,
Good... Check out the following documentation and links
Migrating from one ERP solution to another is a very complex undertaking. I don't think I would start with comparing data structures. It would be better to understand the business flows you have currently with any unique customizations and determine how these could be implemented in your target ERP. Once this is in place, you can determine the necessary data unload/reload to seed your target system.
A real configuration of an ERP system will only happen when there is real data in the system. The mapping of legacy system data to a new ERP is a long difficult process, and choices must be made as to what data gets moved and what gets left behind. The only way to verify what you need to actually run in the new ERP environment is to migrate the data over to the ERP development and test environments and test it. The only way to get a smooth transition to a new ERP is to develop processes as automatic as possible to migrate the data from the old system to the new.
Data loading is not a project that can be done after everything else is ready. Just defining the data in the legacy system is a huge horrible task. Actually mapping it to one of the ERP system schemas is a lesson in pain that must be experienced to be believed.
The scope of a data migration project is usually a fairly large development process with a lot of proprietary code written to extract legacy data, transform and load the data into the ERP system. This process is usually called ETL (extract, transform, load.)
How is data put into the ERP?
There is usually a painfully slow data import facility with most ERP systems. Mashing data into the usually undocumented table schema is also an option, but must be carefully researched. Getting the data out of the legacy systems is usually left to the company buying the ERP. These export - import processes can be complex and slow, sometimes specialized ETL tools can help, sometimes it is easier to use what ever your programmers are familiar with, tools such as C, shell or perl.
An interesting thing to note is that many bugs and quirks of the old systems will be found when the data is mapped and examined. I am always amazed at what data I find in a legacy system, usually the data has no relational integrity , note that it does not have much more integrity once it is placed in an ERP system so accurate and clean data going in helps to create a system that can work.
The Business Analysts (BAs) that are good understand the importance of data migration and have an organized plan to migrate the data, allocate resources, give detailed data maps to the migrators (or help create the maps) and give space estimates to the DBAs. Bad BAs can totally fubar the ERP implementation. If the BAs and management cannot fathom that old data must be mapped to the new system, RUN AWAY. The project will fail.

Migration from oracle to standard sap bw components

client using an oracle based corporate data warehouse management wants to migrate for sap bw. they are now using oracle for central reporting system.
what kind of extraction has to be used?
is table from oracle warehouse has to be converted to other any format(for extraction)? if yes what format is preferrable?

Hi,
Oracle data base tables can extracted in SAP BW by using DB Connect and staged in SAP BW objects for reporting.
You may refer SAP library or various available artcles on DB Connect for details.
I hope it will help.
THanks,

Use This Thread for All 3rd Party Extension Questions (Migrating from v3-v4)

This thread is for the 3rd Party Extension developers as they update their extensions to be compatible with the new framework in SQL Developer v4.0.
To get started with the process, consult this post from the JDeveloper team. If you have questions, post them here.

What is the correct way to deploy migrated extension on local installation of SQL Developer 4 for testing?
Could such operation be automated with help of JDeveloper 12c?

Really stupid question - Migrating from 6i to 11g

Hi all,
I'm a developer that have been working with oracle since Forms 3, right now I use Forms 6i and I would like to know what I need to use Forms 11g. I understand this new environment is web based, but to start developing and deploying, what I need? for example if I buy the Oracle Forms & Report 11g, I also will need the OAS? or just with Forms and Report I could deploy (somehow) the application?
Please don't flame me, I just want to understand how this works now.
Best Regards

As my old college profession used to say - "The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!" Forms 11g only supports web deployment. This means you will need the OAS with the Forms and Reports Services installed as well. Typically, the setup is three tiered ( 1 server = Database, 1 server = Application Server, 1 server = Infrastructure server ). You don't have to set up the technology stack multitiered - all three could reside on the same server or you could have the all three on the same machine but is not recommended. I would at least have the database on a server seperate from OAS.
Here are a few links to get you started.
Oracle Documentation
* Check out: Development Tools - Oracle Forms, Middleware - Applications Server - Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and Middleware - Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence - Oracle Reports
Since you will be upgrading from Forms 6i to 11g, be sure to visit the Oracle Forms-Upgrading Forms 6i to Forms 11g documentation.
BTW, welcome to the forums!

Document access: migrating from ERP database to SAP doc server

Thanks, Vla

In simple terms... here we go
Before BO acquisition by SAP,
SAP BI : SAP BW ( for all ETL tasks) + BEX Query ( For Reporting purpose )

Migration from TIBCO

Hi,
I need to migrate TIBCO BW interface to Oracle BPEL. I dont have any idea of where to start... Can anyone give me guidelines?
Regards,
Sundar

Hi ,
We are doing a similar activity. On a high level - BPM is what you may consider close to your BW and BPEL is what you can consider close to your iprocess. Now the main difference between SOA Suite and TIBCO is that soa suite is completely SOA based where TIBCO has both SOA and integration layers where APIs come into picture spoiling the very theme of soa. But Oracle SOA Suite has a lot of limitations when compared to TIBCO. Not all the feature of TIBCO are available in Oraclle SOA. The design and the strategy of migration is very closely related to the business logic. One thing you can start lookiing for is - wherever in TIBCO you have got tightly coupled API based integration , please start looking at it as a component and expose the functionality as a web service. This web service u can use in the BPEL for orchestration.
thanks ,

Migration from iPhoto '08 to Photos

Hi,
2 main questions:
migration from iPoto '08 to Photos
preservation of printed media
Information:
Hardware: MacBook Pro (Fall 2008, Early 2009) 15-inch with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor a and 2GB memory
OS: Mac OSX Leopard (v 10.5.8)
Currently I am still using my outdated MacBook Pro with Leopard running on it. Since I have troubles with ordering Printed Apple Photobooks out of iPhoto. It is not supported anylonger. And since I have no new updates and new software, I decided to upgrade. Both hardware and sotware.
I decided to upgrade to the latest OS (Yosemite) which should be supported by Apple.
So I ordered a new SSD to replace the hard disk and 8GB to replace my memory. With these new pieces it should run Yosemite easily.
I also orderded a license and DVD for Snow Leopard. I will install Snow Leopard on my SSD, to have a clean install. Then I will update to the latest possible version of Snow Leopard via Software Update. Afterwards I will upgrade to Yosemite via the Mac Store.
So I know how to handle the OS upgrade. But what about my iPhoto migration...
This is quite some old version: iPhoto '08 (v7.x). Offcourse I will backup my complete iPhoto Libarary before doing anything.
But should I only import my '08 Library when I have Yosemite running (I believe iPhoto '11 is included)? And then
Or will this not work? Do I need to import my '08 Library with an extra first step: import it in iPhoto when I have Snow Leopard running, then in iPhoto in Yosemite, and then in Photos in Yosemite?
And what about my Printed Photobooks I already created. Will they still be present in Photos? I spend a lot (and I mean a lot) of time creating some photobooks in iPhoto '08. I do not want to loose them in Photos. I want to order them at Apple, but iPhoto '08 won't let me. I can not find a minimum version of iPhoto required by Apple to order printed products. Perhaps I can still order with iPhoto '11?
Thanks in advance,
Sander Fiers

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Does theJ2EE migration kit support migrating from Oracle9 iAS?

Hi,
We currently have an application based on Oracle9 iAS.
1) Does the J2EE migration kit support migrating from Oracle J2EE to SAP J2EE?
2) If the answer is NO and since the documentation doesn't mention Oracle, I am wondering if SAP is planning on including support for migrating from Oracle too?
Regards,
Tobi

Hello Anirban,
what kind of projects are you trying to migrate to NWDS?
The Migration Kit (Plug-In) in its surrent version supports migration of projects from IBM, JBoss, BEA to SAP - on the same Java EE technology stack level! If you want to migrate SAP 6.40 (J2EE 1.3) projects to SAP CE (Java EE 5), there is a support in the SAP NWDS to do that. You can start importing your "old" projects by saying "migrate projects" in the import statement of the IDE.
Try it out!
In case you should encouner difficulties, shoot me a mail!
Cheers, Goran

SAP Archiving - Migrating from one archive backend to another.

Hi,
We use SARA for archiving and the archiving system is IBM Provided Filenet Database with ACSAP middle-ware.
From 1999 till 2009 we have archived terabytes of data into Filenet Database.
We plan to discontinue Filenet as our choice of archiving backend system and will like to migrate all existing archived data to the new archivingsystem. We are yet to decide what new system will will move to.
We are looking for help from SAP to answer following questions:
1) Is it possible migrate all past data from existing archiving system to a new one?
2) If Yes, then what is the broad approach? Does the data have to be retrieved back to SAP OR Can it be directly migrated from one backend to another one?
Retrieving the data and reloading into another tool in my opinion would be rather cumbersome and stupid method until this is the only option.
In Any case, at the end of day we want that all the data should be readable from SAP like before.
3) Is there any SAP provided tool that we can use rather then going for a 3rd party product?
4) Please guide to migration related documentation.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Regards,
Chandra.

Hello Chandra
yes- there are ways to migrate data out of Filenet into 3rd party tool without retrieving them back through SAP. I am not aware of any SAP tool itself but we have one and could help you with this effort. Please contact me at 610 3508677 and we can discuss the possibilities.

Migration from BusinessObjects Enterprise 6.x to SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1

hi,
I am in a migration from 6.5 to XI 3.1. I have a question about it, when you do the migration with import wizard, first you have to have installed XI 3.1.
I was thinking that you could export the .BIAR file with Import Wizard connected to 6.5 and the next step could be import to XI 3.1.
I tell you that because I tried the migration. In the source I put the BusinessObjects Enterprise 6.x and in the destination environment the wizard asked me only for a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1.
Regards,
Paulina Villacis

Hi
You can migrate from live 6.x system to live 3.1 system.
For more details refer "Importing Information From BusinessObjects 5.x or 6.x" section(pa ge number 26) in http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_importwiz_en.pdf.
