Replicating single data source

Hi Experts,
I have a fresh copy of BW system to this I need to replicate single data source .How do I do that .If I replicate on source system all the ds will be replicated but I need to get only on DS .Pls suggest me.
Swathi

Hi Swathi,
Use Function Module RSAOS_METADATA_UPLOAD
Datasource name -> I_OSOURCE
Logical System -> I_LOGSYS

Error while Replicating the Data Source in Quality System....

Dear Expert,
I have created a generic data source in R/3 Dev system and I replicated the data source to BW DEV system. Everything is fine in DEV system.
I have transported the Data Source to R/3 Quality System. And transported the related objects in BW DEV system to BW QUALITY system.
Now I am getting the error as follows :
BW QUA System --> RSA1 --> Source System --> Data source Overview --> Sales & Distribution --> _REPLICATE_
*DATASOURCE*.( clicked )
Its moving to another screen (R/3 QUALITY) , but it is coming as a LOGIN screen. Its askong for the USER name and Password. And when I click on BACK button , its givin following pop-up
RFC connection to source system LOGSYS is damaged ==> no Metadata upload
What could be the issue ?? Please suggest.
Thanks,
Sanjana

Hi saveen,
Yes I transported in that manner.
I checked in Source System ( RSA13):
Its giveng the pop-up ,
RFC connection check failed. Check connection
Please suggest, how can I proceed ?
Thanks,
Sanjana

Replicating the data source

Hi,
I have an attribute data source and when I have replicated the data source again from the source system, the type has changed from attribute to hierarchy.
Can you please tell me how can this happen and what needs to be done to revert it back to attribute data source.
Regards,
Harikiran Gunnala

Hi Hari,
it cannot change automatically like hierarchy........See for....another...data source,which data source ended with _ATTR......................
Hope it helps

DPM 2012 SP1 - Single Data Source Written to Multiple Tape Drives

Just a question, really...
I know that DPM can write to multiple drives for a single protection group with more than one data source.
However, is it possible for DPM 2012 SP1 (or R2) to write to multiple drives from a single data source from a single protection group?
So if I have "DataSource A" in "MyProtectionGroup" and I allocate 2 tape drives to the PG, could DPM use both drives to backup the PG?
I assume the answer is "no," but I just wanted to double check. Thanks.

Hi,
What you are wanting is a feature called striping and DPM does not have that advanced feature.

How to configure optimal data connections to allow excel to retrieve multiple data sets form a single data source

Hi all,
I would like to have a data connection file used by excel to extract data form a SQL Server DB (so that change in location of the DB needs only a change to the single data connection file). The excel file will retrieve data from only a single database,
but there are multiple queries (30+) stored on SQL server that are used - each SQL server views' data is returned to a pivot table in an excel worksheet, which has an associated chart with various slicers on the main dashboard worksheet.
Do I need a seperate data conenction file for each SQL server query being retrieved, or can a single connection file be created as all data comes from a single database?
(all my attempts and research on the net have led me to believe that a seperate file is needed for each view, but this seems unnecessary)

Hi, im learning my way with this, so apologies if I am providing too much or too little info.
There are 8 source files which are very loosely related in that they capture infromation regarding what has happened within a metro railway over a day. However there are only a few relationships between the contents of tehse files.
These tables are imported into SQL Server using SSIS where I have developed a number of views that query these 8 source tables to generate a number of metrics to provide insight into the service provided to the passengers. Some examples of metrics are: Number
of passengers in transit at any given time, time taken to travel between adjacent stations, how much power was used during the day, what distance did the trains travel during the day, etc. Some views provide only a handful of rows, some provide 1M plus. There
are now approx 40 seperate views created.
I have then used a spreadsheet with a worksheet associated with each SQL server view. Each worksheet is set up as a pivot table, which allows the related chart on the main dashboard worksheet to use standard excel capability to slice and present the data
in different ways.
At the moment if the server on which teh database is stored moves, I have had to recreate the spreadsheet from scratch as I dont know how to change the connection information in any other way. Ideally I would like to have connection info in a single place
to reduce ongoing maintenance, particularly as I would like to place the spreadsheet on a SharePoint server to distribute it to other users.
Thanks

Replicated BI Data Sources found as 3.x dataSources

Dear Experts
I have replicated Source system and i have selected RSDS instead of 3.x data sources, now when iam searching T-code for source system i have no BI DATA Sources i have all Data sources in 3.x
and i also dont have data sources in RSDS of Business content i found all data sources in 3.x

Hi,
Usually for standard business contents the Datasources will be defined as 3.x datasources only. To check this you can go to the corresponding Data-target and Select Grouping as 'In Data Flow before' . If you need to establish a BI 7 modeling dataflow. You need to migrate the datasources after replicating them in BW.

Replicating a Data source

Hi all,
When I say replicate DS's of MM in BI then am getting a message like below , what does it mean because I can't see the DS's BX,BF and UM in BI. I clicked Dialog and replicated, I can see all apart these three.what could be the reason ?
How do you want to activate the replicated DataSources in
the BW system? Caution: If you select batch, there will be
no transport connection
background Dialog
Thx

Hi,
1. Goto RSA5.
2. Select your datasource--> Click on ' Activate Datasource'.
3. Goto RSA6.
you can find the data sources which are activated.
or you can activate the datasource by useing 'RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL'
Replicate the Datasources in BI side by select the Source system.
Goto RSA1>Select Source System> Right click--> Replicate Datasoruces.
Then you can find the Datasources.

Error in replicating FI data source(0FI_AP_1) in BI system

Hi all
actually i am getting an error while replicating the FI data source(0FI_AP_1) in BI system. Error is "0FI_AP_1 Could Not be Replicated Do you want to delete this DataSource (with Mappings, Transfer Rules, InfoPackages)? ". This is the every first time i am doing the FI report, SO i think i have missed some steps of activating or some thing else. Plz advise.

Hi Srinivas thanks for the reply....as you told i have activated the DS 0FI_AP_6 in R3 and then when i went to replicate the same DS in BI it is showing the same message as written above ..... But still i can see the FI data source in my BI system but cant replicate any of them. so plz advise

Multiple Comparisons on Single Data Source: NaN vs. Large Number

Hello All,
Working in TestStand 2013, and came across a situation with DMM measurements, in which several values would be acceptable for the limit comparison. For example, if I am making a resistance measurement, and I expect it to be a very high value, say greater than 1M, I would insert that as the lower limit. However, there are also certain situations when I may see the result of "NaN" at the meter. For the purposes of the test, any number greater that 1M would be acceptable, but a result of NaN would also be acceptable. In an effort to keep the code modular and reusable for many instances, I am curious if there is a way in TestStand to compare the test result against two values at the same time, (i.e. >1M OR =NaN). Please advise. Thanks.
GSinMN
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Probably because you are trying to set the Low limit property. You need to set the Low Limit Expression property and set the Use Expression flag to true.
Consider the screen shot attached. If UseLowExpr is False then the Low numeric property is used. If it is True then the LowExpr property is used.
Hope this helps,

Regarding: Loading data from R/3 To BI for a Generic Data source

Hi Every,
Need Help Urgent
I had created a Generic data source with function Module as the data source, in Rsa3 it is working fine.
1-> I had replicated the data source to Bi then i had created a info package and then I executed the same. when it is getting the data and it is show in the request monitor (Number of records ) but the status is not changing from Yellow to Green.
Status in Step by step analysis is every step is green Except "Data selection successfully finished ?" (RED)
2-> Then I had seen the Back ground job in Source system which is executing still. I waited for it for a long time but nearly 30 min.
(I had done Steps one and 2 number of time by activating replicating the data source and so on, but still their is no change in it)
3-> Then I had canceled that back ground job with the help of BASIS (as i feel that it is something going wrong).
4-> I feel that their is some thing wrong in the Code of Extractor.
Please Help...............

Version error while creating info package of data source 0fi_gl_10

Dear Friends,
I have replicated the data source 0fi_gl_10 into sap bw but while creating info package i am getting error " The DataSource 0FI_GL_10(E01CLNT200) does not exist in object version A". IS the manual activation always should be done for that ?
Regards
Nilesh

Hi,
Please check if the veriosn of DataSource is A or not. Sometimes it shows as active but if you open the datasource then it might be in modified version only. Do activate it manually, it will serve your purpose to create a infopackge.

hi,
Try replicating the data source again.
After that go to RSDS x-action there give the data source name and source system name and do restore and activations from there .
After check if you were able to create x-fer rules first.
Thanks

Regarding BI7 Data sources

Hi
I have replicated the data sources in BI7 for SD and fincial after activating them in R/3.
Now i am getting only Emulated version of data sources. Means 3.X version of data sources , all have square mark on data source name.
Please let me know how i will get BI7 data sources, Or does Data sources exist in bi7 version or not if they exist in bi7 version they why i am not getting them.
Thanks & regards
Micky

Hi Micky
3.x DataSource
In the past, DataSources have been known in the BI system under the object type R3TR ISFS; in the case of SAP source systems, they are DataSource replicates. The transfer of data from this type of DataSource (referred to as 3.x DataSources ) is only possible if the 3.x DataSource is assigned to a 3.x InfoSource and the fields of the 3.x DataSource are assigned to 3.x InfoSource InfoObjects in transfer structure maintenance. A PSA table is generated when the 3.x transfer rules are activated, thus activating the 3.x transfer structure. Data can be loaded into this PSA table.
If your dataflow is modeled using objects that are based on the old concept (3.x InfoSources, 3.x transfer rules, 3.x update rules) and the process design is built on these objects, you can continue to work with 3.x DataSources when transferring data into BI from a source system.
DataSource in 7.0
As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, a new object concept is available for DataSources. It is used in conjunction with the changed objects concepts in data flow and process design (transformation, InfoPackage for loading to the PSA, data transfer process for data distribution within BI). The object type for a DataSource in the new concept - called DataSource in the following - is R3TR RSDS.
When you activate the DataSource, the system generates a PSA table in the entry layer of BI. You can then load data into the PSA. You use an InfoPackage to specify the selection parameters for loading data into the PSA. In the transformation, you determine how the fields of the are assigned to the BI InfoObjects. Data transfer processes facilitate the further distribution of data from the PSA to other targets. The rules that you set in the transformation are applied here.
There fore got to transaction code RSDS or right click on the 3x data source and then go with MIGRATE
Main menu Datasource -> "Migrate 3.x datasource -> datasource" select with export datasource.
After do soo , always go with export so that the meta data will match the existing 3x data source to the new 7 x data source
Hope this helps you

Data Source Elimination

Hi Gurus,
We have replicated three data sources 0CO_PC_PCP_03, ZCKIS and ZKEKO under the info source 0CO_PC_PCP_10. Now we want to see how the report data looks like without having the data source 0CO_PC_PCP_03 data. Is there a way to proceed by eliminating this data source and just having ZCKIS and ZKEKO, temporarily to see how the data looks like.
Thanks,

Hi Sandhya,
When data is successfully loaded to your cube, the requests are always available for reporting (unless there are aggregates that have not been rolled up, or you are reporting off an ODS and the data has not been activated). You can verify this by RSA1 > yr InfoCube > right Click > Manage > Request tab... here you can see all the requests loaded into your cube. The little blue and red icon that you see in the second column (after th erequest number) means that data loaded by this request will be shown in your reports.
To exclude or inlcude particular request IDs in your query, open up the query in the query designer, and from the Dimension Data Package (the last one), take 0REQUID and put it in the filter or free chars area of your query. Then right click and restrict it by the request IDs whose data you want to see. You can match the request ids with your cube (right click Manage)...
So either take all the request IDs that are not the 0CO_PC_PCP_03 ones, or take all the 0CO_PC_PCP_03 requests and then exclude (they will look red in the query designer).
Hope this helps...

Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
I just want to know if this is possible.
Are there any known limitation using this method?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Ereswaran,
Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
