Replacing SAP ECC COPA Table

Hi,
we have implemented the SAP Best Practices for BI V4.31 (note 1475029).
One of the dashboards is Profit and Loss. It uses a couple of CR reports for data extraction for the SAP ECC.
In the report is a connection to a COPA table CE11102. In our environment this table is CE11000.
In CR / Database export I can change the name of the COPA Table from CE11102 to CE11000 but CR doesn't recognize our COPA table.
Please advice.
Regards,
Wiebe

Dear Ingo,
so you would like to replace one table of the delivered All in One report with a table from your system ?
Yes I have implemented almost all the CR reports and Xcelcius dashboards.
But...
When I update the database connection for the CR reports with a CO-PA table and other tables (like MARA, T023T and TVKOT) all the tables will connect to our environment exept the CO-PA table.
Please advice.
kind regards,
Wiebe Bartelink
ps. this is for Profit and Loss CR report 'Actual data.rpt'

Billing type is not updating in COPA table

HI Gurus
Billing type is not updating for few billing documents in ECC COPA table CE11000 but for few documents billing type is updating correctly in ECC COPA table CE1100
Example 1 for billing document 10351144 billing type is not updating in ECC COPA table CE11000 billing type ZDN
Example 2 for billing document 10354965 billing type is updating in ECC COPA table CE11000
Billing type is same for the both billing documents but its updating for one document and it is not updating for another document
Please help me to find out the rout cause

hi, can your replay the problem in your system?
if so , I suggest you to set a user breakpoint in ERP function BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST, (the user need to use the Middleware user not your foreground login user)
And when billing document inbound to ERP, SAP will call the function. then you can check if the CO-PA fields has been filled correctly or not.

DS 3.2 u201CDirect Downloadu201D from SAP ECC Dump RFC_ATTACH_GUI_FAILED

DS 3.2 u201CDirect Downloadu201D from SAP ECC Dump RFC_ATTACH_GUI_FAILED - Start 'sapgui' failed
We are running DS 3.2.1 with a data source connected to ECC 6.0 using u201CDirect Downloadu201D.
DS 3.2 Designer on Windows, DS Job server on Unix, SAP ECC running on Unix (different Unix box than DS).
We get a dump in the SAP ECC source system, RFC_ATTACH_GUI_FAILED Start 'sapgui' failed.
DETAILS
From the DS Designer
-     We can view the data in the SAP ECC T001 table from the ECC Data Source.
-     Run the job from the DS designer on the DS Unix server, jobs starts the ABAP Data flow, then gets the error:
>Cannot connect to SAP Applications datastore <DS_JR_ERD100_TEST> using host <ierpt1>, client <100>, user <G6992JR>, and system number <27: CRFC error: Start 'sapgui' failed.>. Please make sure the SAP server is running and the login information is correct.
-     In the SAP ECC source system Tran ST22 I see the following dump:
>Runtime Errors         RFC_ATTACH_GUI_FAILED
>Start 'sapgui' failed.
>u2026
>Call Program........."al_engine"
>Function Module..... "SYSTEM_RFC_VERSION_3_INIT"
>u2026
>Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLSYST" - in "SYSTEM_ATTACH_GUI".
>The main program was "SAPMSSY1 ".
-Data Store to SAP ECC settings:
o     ABAP Execution Option:     Generate and Execute
o     Execute in Background:          No
o     Data Transfer Method:          Direct Download
o     Working dir on Sap server:     ECC Server, no files show here.
o     Local Directory:               DS Server, no files here
o     Generated ABAP Dir:          DS Unix server, the ABAP program is here.
Has anyone seen this issue?
Shouldnu2019t it use WS_DOWNLOAD vs. GUI_DOWNLOAD?

Thanks for the information on the Direct Download.
I will check test by running the generated ABAP in the SAP ECC system to see why we get the GUI ERROR.
I now understand that Direct Download is for testing & small amounts of data & "Old" functionality.
We were doing a test on a table with only 87 records.
We wanted to test that we could connect from DS to the SAP ECC system & that the DS Data Flow worked.
Also, our SAP ECC & our Data Services are on different Unix servers that do NOT have a common directory.
So if we used Shared Directory, the file would be deposited on the SAP Server, but the DS server would not be able to see it to pick it up. So we may have to look at FTP option.
Has anyone used DS to extract from an SAP ECC on a Unix server to Data Services on a DIFFERENT Unix server with no common directory?
We would really prefere NOT to have to create a temporary file, but would rather it worked just like the BW extracts from SAP ECC, it just sends the records over via TRFC's, not temp file, or if it woudl work the same way as when DS pulls from one oracle DB on a Unix server to another oracle DB on a Different Unix server, I don't think that creates temporary files.
Thanks Again for your help

Ho to archive data from COPA tables in ECC 6.0

HI Experts,
We are using ECC 6.0 and our client wants to archive data from COPA table's CE1XXXX,CE3XXXX and CE4XXXX. We are not using COPA planning.
Need your suggestions and step by step process to follow to archive the data from the above mentioned COPA tables. Also suggest is there any SAP note is required to apply for this activity.

Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System

Hi,
I downloaded Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System Using MII 12.0
senario from sdn. I'm trying to do that senario in MII 12.05. But I have problem with section 6 in page 7 (you can supply senario from sdn)
"6- Under the loop of Repeater, use action u2018Rowu2019 to append just the string part of the WA which will display only values for field u2018Batchu2019"
I did not find WA elemen in Output element of Repeater_0
How can I create WA element?
Thanks.

Cemil,
Set up a SAP JCo Interface action block. Use the RFC name RFC_READ_TABLE.
In the link editor map the table to "MARA", set RowCount to something small (20 is good sample size) and create an xml transaction property named FIELDS and copy the following into it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><FIELDS>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>MATNR</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>MTART</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>BSTME</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>XCHPF</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>DATAB</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
    </FIELDS>
Then link the Transaction.FIELDS to SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/FIELDS}. You may run into problems with two other fields and optionally they can be removed (set link type to remove xml). I usually remove them initially for testing. The two fields are:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/NO_DATA}
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/DELIMITER} (or you can set this to something like a semicolon,";" or tilda,"~". I find it easier to caclulate position by length, but that is my own idiosyncrasy.)
Once you get this one working, we can explore how to do filtering on the dataset. Your output should be something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RFC_READ_TABLE>
<INPUT>
    <DELIMITER />
    <NO_DATA />
    <QUERY_TABLE>MARA</QUERY_TABLE>

Add a repeater sourced on:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Response{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/DATA/item}
Link your repeater output to a tracer with this:
Repeater_0.Output{/item/WA}
What you will see in each tracer message is a single line of data with all the fields contents concatenated together. You can look up what each field in the string represents by the length of the field as returned in the Response segment of the RFC_READ_TABLE rfc. Then you can parse out the data you are interested in.
Give this a try and let me know how you succeeded.
By the way, I could not find the scenario you referred to. Can you post a link?

Potcode table report in SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
we just upgrade our R3 systeem to SAP ECC 6.0 and with this new SAP ECC we can not find the old report for our postcode table check. In previous system, we use the following report to update our postcode table :
- RSADRLSM01
- RSADRLSM02
- RSADRNL_POSTCODE
With SAP ECC 6.0 the latest report (RSADRNL_POSTCODE) in not available and because of that we can not update our postcode table.
Anyone experience the same problem?
Best regards,
Audrey N. Tamara

hi,
I checked this on the systems available to me and the mentioned report RSADRNL_POSTCODE is not available in any release 4.63 and higher, i.e. it isn't available in ECC 600 either.
the NL part suggests to me that this is part of a (Netherlands) country specific extension of any industry solution or it is simply a custom report in SAP's namespace.
So, check if your system's country specific add-ons are in place already or open a customer message to SAP with respect to your country version.

Reg: Replacing i-way with PI for SAP ECC 6.0 version

Hello Experts
currently we are using R/3 4.7 version and middle ware we are using is i-way and we are planning to upgrade to ECC 6.0 and i would like to know how compatible is i-way is with SAP ECC 6.0 and is there any neccessity to replace the same with PI.
and currently we are using RFC as a method of communication between R/3 and i-way and in future i don't want to change the existing coding , is it feasible to use PI via RFC.
As i am ABAPer, i am new to this PI and please let me the know the risks involved and it is viability.
Thanks and Regards
S.Janagar

Hi Gavin,
you should always use the SQL EE for SAP installations (because of additional features that only come with EE).
Concerning SQL 9 or SQL 10, I would definitely go for SQL 10. It has some nice features like Backup Compression, Page/Row Compression and so on. Have a look [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60a236a2-8104-2b10-5ebe-8fef61cc82fd]. Just make sure that your installation meets the SR3 requirements.
We already have SQL 10 in production and did not encounter any problems.

Sven

Mapping a BW query to a Z table in SAP ECC

Hi BW Gurus,
I have requirement as below and i have a solution but i want to know other alternatives for the same.. so please let me know the alternatives.
A BI query would be created from an existing APO BI cube.
A Z program would be created in SAP
A Z table would be created in SAP.
The Z program would map the fields in BI cube vis-a-hopthe fields in Z table.
The Z program would execute the BI query through an RFC connection, pull the data and store the data in the Z table using the mapping done previously.
This execution would be an adhoc one - not a periodical job.
Though I have specified about executing the query through RFC option, we are open to any possible suggestion. All we need is to bring the data in the APO BI cube to the SAP Z table.
Please let me know for any other possible alternatives.
Thanks,
Shailaja

Hi Shailaja
Just a thought on this issue..Its quite simple no need to write huge lines of ABAP program.
Step 1:You can create an APD in RSANWB take the query as input and target as Direct access DSO for it and in the mapping take the fields & filter the fields through filter option in APD which ever you required /recomended in your R/3 table.
Step 2: Create an OHB(openhub/infospoke) which will transfer this data to your R/3 table.
Step3: all the step 1 & step 2 process together place it in a process chain. And in start process add Even as triggering media.
Step4: trigger the cross system event through "BP_RAISE_EVENT" FM which means develop a program in such way that the moment when the user trigger the program in R/3 it will automatically trigger the event in BW system and perform the step1 & step 2.
Challenges in this are 1)if you need delta data then you have to implement badi in info spoke level.
In your case this challenge is not necessary as you specified itz an adhoc run..
Hope its clear a little..!
Thanks

SAP Crystal Report 2013 SP03 - Connection error with SAP ECC tables, clusters

Hi,
I'm trying to connect SAP Crystal Report 2013 with SAP ECC but I'm getting below error. I've read some where that We need to install SAP integration kit but SAP BI 4.1 it comes default, also had to install the ABAP cystal report transport - How to do Install this on SAP side -
and on the ECC side we had to develop Crystal Authorization - how to develop this?
Can someone screenshot of these steps and please suggest if something else can be done.

Hi Pawan,
Search for the error and you should see many threads for this issue.
Anyway, this is what I found:
logon failed. you do not have the necessary rights to design reports
Crystal Reports 2008 and BW - Installation and Configuration - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
The wiki should have answers to all your questions regarding Transports, Authorization et al.

Difference between SAP 4.7EE and SAP ECC 6.0 in terms of ABAP

Hi all,
I would like to know the differences between the SAP-4.7EE and SAP ECC 6.0 in terms of ABAP?
can any body Please Help me?

Hi Vijay,
In terms of ABAP some function modules are obsolete in 4.7.
e.g WS_UPLOAD, WS_DOWNLOAD etc.
You can find the list of obsolete FMs in the table RODIR.
These need to be replaced in the ECC System.
Also ECC is very strict in case of EPC Errors. You need to check the EPC and remove the call function interface errors where it says SLIN observes catching of a runtime error. These might work with no issues in 4.7 but will shortdump in ECC.
If you are doing to a unicode conversion also. you need to check the transaction UCCHECK for unicode errors.
You also need to replace obsolete statements like >< and => , =< etc.
Please let me know if you need any further info on this.
Thanks,
Sai

From the ABAP perspective, few differences are.
The WS_* function modules used in 4.6c has become obsolete from 4.7C. All the WS_* FMs have been replaced by GUI_* FMs.
(ii) Concept of Unicode is introduced.
(iii) Few tables have been modified in ECC6.0.
Tables TVARV & TTREX have been replaced by TVARVC & TTREXN respectively.
(iv) we have enhancement points and enhancement sections along with enhancemnts and BADI'S . and we can write the part of code in those points.
For functional differences please check out the following link:
http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/
ECC->enterprise central component.ECC 6.0 is the advanced version.if we consider in technical point of view then i can give u one example.
In the new version we have enhancement points and enhancement sections along with enhancemnts and BADI'S.SAP has provided these ,so that without going for access keys we can write our code in the enhancement points along with Standard SAP code.So now SAP has provided more user friendly environment.Also a new DEBUGGER also arrived with the new version.Now we can see more things in the new er version of DEBUGGER.

Extraction from SAP ECC to SAP BI

What are the steps for Extraction from SAP ECC to SAP BI? Thanks.

Hi,
we have two types of extractions 1) Application specific 2)cross application
under applicatin specific -->we have customer genenrated and business content extractions
under customer generated means LIS, CO-PA, FI-SL(i.e no ready made data source in business content so we have to generate datasource)
Business content means there is ready made business content datasource so we can use it
LIS,LO --> when ever we go for extracting logistics informatin

Generic extraction-->table, view, infoset query, function module
Generic extractors are of 3 types:
1. Based on table/view
2. Based on Infoset Query
3. Based on Function module
GenericSteps
Log on sap R/3.
Step 1. create a table or view for generic extraction in se11.
Step 2. Goto t-code RSO2
Step 3. Here u have to decide whether to extract transaction data or master data attributes or texts.
Step 4. suppose if u have opted for transaction data,then give name in the column ex:ztd_m(data source name)
Step 5. select create button,this will take u to another screen.
Step 6. Here u have to decide from which application component u r extacting data.Ex: SD,MM,..
Step 7. in this screen u have to fill short disciption,medium,long( these r mandatory).
Step 8. then U have to Table name or view name which u have created in se11.
Step 9. I f u want to maintain generic delta then u can select generic delta in top left hand side corner.
Step 10. in next screen u have to give some field which is primary key.
step 11. here u to specify whether time stamp or cal day or numeric pointer depending on u r requirement.
step 12. then u have to specify whether new status for changed records or additive delta.
If u choose additive delta ,then u have to load data to infocube or ods object.
If u choose new status for changed records, then u to load data to ods object only.
Step 13. then save it.
Step 14. then logon to sap bw ,then replicate the data source then as usuall.

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.
