Refresh of BW System without deleting the source system

Hello experts
I want to know, is it possible to refresh BW system without deleting the source system.
That means I just do the renaming via BDLS and reconnect.
If I do so, do I have a post refresh activities.
According to OSS note 886102 and 184447, there are 3 scenarios:
Scenario A: You want to copy the entire system infrastructure connected by the BW source system connections (that means the entire system group).
Scenario B: You want to copy a single BW system of the group, the sourcesystem is not copied.
Scenario C: You want to replace a single sourcesystem of a BW-system with another system using a database or client copy (Example: Refresh of the OLTP consolidation system by a copy of the OLTP production system). The BW system is not copied
Assuming I use Scenario A, can I refresh BW system without deleting the source system.

Hi:
The primary source of information is the how to paper on this topic:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bff13df2-0c01-0010-6ba7-bc50346a6fd8
YOu are correct, you can refreh the BI system without deleting the source system.
Thanks for any points you assign (after all, I wrote the paper!).

Dear Linturi,
believe you trying to delete the current R/3 source system and trying for SAP BI my self source system right?
If yes
We can very well dete the source system
The impact would be in th efollowing ways
You will loose entire datasources,transfer rules and PSA related to that particular source system and it will be Major impcat on you Bi system which is not at all preferable untill unless you are really no more use of the R/3 source system and its configured with any of the bi pass clients.
Coming to BI Myself souce system : Which is purely realted to the DATA MART Loadings and its also a similar like R/3 source system connection you have to give ALEREMOTE passwords and serve ips.
Hope this helps u...

Cluster Live Storage Migration completes without deleting the source virtual hard disk VHDX

Testing HV setup in a cluster of two nodes with shared FC storage. Storage is CSV on both nodes. Storage migration of a VM from C:\ClusterStorage\A to C:\ClusterStorage\B completes without any problem. Upon completion, the source VHDX
are still left at C:\ClusterStorage\A. The source files can be deleted manually. All is done through VMM "Migrate Storage" option. Why the storage migration does not delete the source files upon job completion? Thanks!

I have noticed this happens when the folders are "pre-staged". If I create a folder and then storage migrate all of the files into it then it will not delete from it. If I just put the files in the root of the CSV then it seems to work. I am
looking into the permissions of the system and seeing what changes on a folder when it is created by a user and not the system. This only appears to happen when I am doing some cleanup because of duplicate machine name subfolders recently that a tech created.
If you match the permissions to a system created VM it should work though.

Change in the source system

Dear All,
We have currently BW 3.5 and CRM R/3 server up and running in Production.
Now CRM server is being upgrade to CRM 7.0 . Now i being the BW consultant needs to find out what is that needs to be done at BW side.
My idea :-
1) We first need to create a new Source system and repllicate all the data sources in bw system.
2) Assign this datasource to the old infosource.
3) create an infopkg and try loading the data once again to the old cube.
We can ahieve this in Dev system and then transport the Transfer rules again to BW Production system.
Can we directly get this done in Production system????
Kindly add your idea to this list and suggest if we can do this directly in the Productions system without the need to transport the Transfer rule from Deve system.
Thanks & Regards,
Anup

first, temporarily disconnect the source system connection when the upgrade is started...
after that as you said, please transport the transfer rules from DEV box to production box. it is not advisble to do directly in production box.
Since the end user is having access to the production box, it is not advisble to open the production box as modifiable and allow to changes.
Hence we cannot take long down time isnt..? After upgrade is done, please restore the source system connection.
Better you dont delete the source system of your CRM system in BI.
Hope this would help you.

Deleting a Source System Connection

Hi all,
We made some updates to a QA source system and when we try to do a 'activate and replicate datasources', errors are being thrown out. So, we decided to delete the connection and recreate the connection. I have a few questions:
1) If I right click on the source system in BI and click delete, it is prompting for a transport request to delete transfer structures. What are the steps to follow in deleting the source system? How will I be able to rebuild the transfer structures?
2) I deleted a couple of transfer structures. Can I roll it back? If yes, how
Greatly appreciate your help.
Anita.

instead try to trouble shoot the issue with the source system creation.
i don't beileve you can easily recover a deleted transfer str / rule without recovering from a backup or transporting it again from dev, once the sourcesystem issue is resolved
i believe this source system definition has been there for a while therefore just deleting it outright is not recommended for a lot of reasons,,,,,,,

Deleting a Source System in BW Prod

Hi Guys,
I am trying to delete the assignment of R/3 Production as a Source system in BW Prod but the system is not letting me- informing that:
Package ZBWD does not exist- choos display object or cancel.
The reason I am doing this is at present the source system is assigned to Infoobject 0WBS_ELEMT but I want to assign the 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR & 0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT datasources to the 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR & 0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT InfoSources. I would like to un-assign this datasource from 0WBS_ELEMT and assign to the InfoSources stated above.
I am trying to bring in WBS Element master data but found in Dev when I bring it in through the infoSources it is available in BW but through the 0WBS_ELEMT infoObject there is no data in the masterdata tables.
How can I delete this source system assignment in BW Prod?
Thanks
Depesh

hi Depesh,
i think system won't let you delete source system assignment in prod if it's closed for modification
(transaction scc4), if you really need to do this directly in prod, please ask basis open awhile,
have you tried delete the source system assignment in dev and transport to prod ?
regarding package zbwd not exist, check in prod if package zbwd exist,
transaction se80, choose 'package', type in zbwd,
it will display the package or ask to create new if not exist. transport package zbwd from bw dev if it's not exist in prod.
hope this helps.

Deletion of Source system

Hello,
I need help in deleting any links that exist for an old R3 system. We have migrated our source R3 system which was called SP1 to another system called SP2. Now we have datasources, DTP and update rules pertaining to the old system that we would like to delete. I tested out an option to delete the source system in the workbench by clicking under the Source system , choosing the one I wished to delete and right clicking on that and choosing Delete. I got a warning saying that its not possible to delete because the RFC connections are no longer available, which is true. I chose Ignore in the message window that popped up and that led to all the datasources, DTP and infopackages getting deleted. This seems too good to be true that we got rid of all links to the old system . What I am wondering is whether this method causes some other important data to vanish as well. Is there also a better way to delete all links to the old system.
Regards,
Jaya

Hi Jaya
As you said there is no connectivity with the source system, then you are no more using the Datasources from that source system.
Ensure that you are not using the datasources in your regulary used Infosources.
If you are using then they me be set to inactive.
As you said youa re not at all using that source system you can delete that.

DW Side Work When the Sourcing System Gets Refreshed

Dear colleagues,
We currently have an ECC 6 Client as the sourcing system feeding data into our QAS BW 3.5 environment (basically Master data and very little transaction data at the moment). Due to the Master Data inconsistency of the sourcing client, it is decided to rebuild the ECC client plus complete Master Data reloading.
So, as a Basis person with limited BW knowledge, I am a little bit nervous from the BW side in terms of the procedure how to rebuild our QAS BW system. Here I have following questions for your experts:
1. Is there any standard procedure out there that I can follow in such a circumstance that I dont think is unique to us.
2. I believe I have to reload all the Master data once this has been done from the ECC side, do I have to delete all the Master data that have already been loaded into the BW and how should I do that?
3. With the very limited transaction data, will they be gone if I rerun the INIT process or I have to do things differently?
Thanks and regards,
Joshua Z.

Hi,
Not very sure about Refresh.
But this is what we follow when you go for an SP upgrade or maintenance on source.
As a standard procedure its better to drain all the deltas before going ahead. As a first step I think you will stop all transactions in ECC. Once done Start pulling delta loads repeatedly till it fetches zero records. then reschedule your V3 Jobs to a future date.
Then perform all this activities.
I dont think you have to delete MD as its overwritten the next time you load.
Is there a need for init if the previous init is still there?
Even in case you do I dont think you will lose any data. You always have an option of full repair to load any data from R3.
Refer.

How can i re-install the operating system without deleting my files on the computer

I'm Trying to re-install the operating system on my macbook, and i dont know, if i can only re-install the OS without deleting the Data on the computer.

If the Snow Leopard version on your Snow Leopard DVD is lower than the Snow Leopard version on your computer, you will NOT in any case be able to re-install the OS the way you want it. You will only be able to erase your disk and then reinstall the OS.
It will only "upgrade" and keep your files if the Mac OS X version of your Snow Leopard DVD is newer than the Snow Leopard version on your computer.

Customized delta data source for deleting data record in the source system.

Hello Gurus,
there is a customized delta data source, how to implement delta function for deleting data record in the source system?
I mean if there is record deleted in the source sytem, how to notify SAP BW system for this deleting change by this customized delta
data source?
Many thanks.

Hi,
when ever record deleted we need to write the code to insert the record in Z table load this records into BW in a cube with similar structure.while loading into this cube multiply the Keyfigure by -1.
add this cube in the Multi Provider.The union of the records in the orginal cube and the cube having deleted records will result in zero vale and will not be displayed in report .
Regards,
