Replication of generic Data Sources

Dear experts,
I am asked to create a generic data source in the Application component Specific to a set of Generic data sources.
To meet this in RSA6 I have created a node with XXXXX name of Appication component.
Now I have created my generic data source in RSO2 with this XXXXX Application Component and the data source creation is successful in the source system ( So, In RSA6 I see my data source under my newly created Apllication Component XXXXX)
Now when I try to replicate my data source in the BW system:
I do not see my ApPlication Component in my source system tab.
Also I tried replication of the data source at source system level.
I am unable to replicate my data source.
Is there anything else I need to do to see my XXXXX application component in the BW system and to replicate my data source.
Could anyone please help me how can I do my replication.
Regards,

Hi,
you did't specify which source your extractiing the data from, you should find it inthe specified folder, for example if your SD data you could see it in the underlying folder of SD, check it once under SD, MM components or still if you do not find , refreash the window, come back to DWB(RSA1) and then go to specified folder/Appl Comp,
when you replicate datasource some times you could't see it untill unless you refreash the window, if you still do'nt find it replicate again the datasource
here is the step for replication
1.first install wat r the cubes u want.
2.go to data source.right clik the data source.
3. it will show replicate the data.
4. replicate the data.
5. before u use rsa3 and check whether that data source having the data or not.
6.use rsa5 and check the data source activated or not.
7.create infopackage.
8. upload the data.
hope would be helpful,
Regards,
Kiran

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...............

Error While Creating The Generic Data Source.

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to create a Generic Data Source (ZGG_TEST) on a View (ZV_TEST1)
View as Follows:
Table1 has the Following Fields
Field Type
MANDT CLNT
RECNO NUMC
STATUS CHAR
LMODF CHAR
Table2 has Fields
Fields Type
MANDT CLNT
RECNO NUMC
PHCOS QUAN
MATNR CHAR
EQSFS QUAN
MEINS UNIT
In Table2 under Currency and Quantity Field tab
For Field PHCOS The Reference table is MSEG and Reference Field is MEINS
For Field EQSFS the Reference Table is MSEG and reference field is MEINS
View Description
Tables:
Table1
Table2
MSEG
Join condition For the View is
TABLE2-MANDT=TABLE1-MANDT
TABLE2-RECNO=TABLE1-RECNO
TABLE2-MANDT=MSEG-MANDT
TABLE2-MATNR=MSEG-MATNR
The Problem is While saving the Data Source it is Giving an Error as Follows
Invalid extract structure template ZV_TEST1 of DataSource zgg_test
Message no. R8359
Diagnosis
You tried to generate an extract structure with the template structure zgg_test. This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field PHCOS refer to a different table.
Procedure
Use the template structure to create a view or DDIC structure that does not contain the inadmissible fields.
Please help me In Solving this Issue
Thanks in advance
Santosh

n Table2 under Currency and Quantity Field tab
For Field PHCOS The change Reference table to TABLE2 For Field EQSFS the change the Reference Table to TABLE2
ref field MEINS ...
This works ..

Error while creating Generic data source using FM

Hi Experts,
I try to create a generic data source using the Function Module via the transaction RSO2. I got the following error messages.
" Das Einheitenfeld CURR des Feldes ZPKZA1 der DataSource ZBWN_DS_POLPOSP ist ausgeblendet"
" Das Einheitenfeld CURR des Feldes ZPKZA2 der DataSource ZBWN_DS_POLPOSP ist ausgeblendet"
" Das Einheitenfeld CURR des Feldes ZPKZA10 der DataSource ZBWN_DS_POLPOSP ist ausgeblendet"
"The unit field CURR of the field ZPKZA1 of the DATA SOURCE ZBWN_DS_POLPOSP is not visible/ stopped/ hide".
for all 10 fields of type CURR.
How shall i handle this issue..........any suggestions please........
thanks in advance
cheers
sailekha

Hi,
Are your CURR fields refereded to a currency field of your structure?? Maybe the problem is that the field containing the currency is refered to other table/structure and it has to be one of your structure fields.
Hope this helps,

Error while doing DELTA Extraction (generic data source)

Hi BW Experts,
In my R/3, I have a generic data source ZBUT_VW.
It receives data from a View which is created based on couple tables.
When I do full load to the corresponding ODS, it is successful.
But after that I delete the ODS and created CUBE with DELTA
I have Initialized delta.
When I do DELTA extraction, it fails.
The error The ALE inbox of the SAP BW is identical to the ALE outbox of the source system
and/or
the maximum wait time for this request has not yet run out
and/or
the batch job in the source system has not yet ended.
I delete the initialization load and trying to do DELTA extraction again and it Fails.
With the same error
Please let me know how can I resolve this problem.
URGENT
gaurav

I dont think it is possible to have to additive delta with creation date.
Try a full load to cube to check if the extractor is working.

Error while testing Generic Data Source extraction

I've created generic data source for Texts and Attributes in R/3 based on VIEW (Z table)
I get error "Error 6 in function module RSS_PROGRAM_GENERATE" while trying to test the data sources through RSO2
I guess there can be a lot of reasons... Please name me anybody who knows them...
thanx in advance

Hi,
Please Check the OSS note 328948 and it provides solution to same error what you have. Additionally you can have a look into this OSS note 705212 too.
Syntax error in the generated extraction program Symptom
You notice the error by one of the following symptoms:
The loading of transaction data from an R/3 system terminates with a syntax error in the generated extraction program. The monitor displays the error messages:
R3027 "Error & during the generation of the data transfer program"
RSM340 "Error in the source system"
The extraction within the extractor checker terminates with error message RJ028 "Error 6 in function module RSS_PROGRAM_GENERATE".The activation of transfer rules ends in BW with error message RG102 "Syntax error in GP$ERR$, row... (-> long text)" from the source system. Usually, the diagnosis in the long text of the error message is: "...could not be interpreted. Possible error causes: Incorrect notation or... "
Other terms
OLTP, extractor, data extraction, DataSource, Service API, SAPI,
R3 027, R3 27, RSM 340, RJ 028, RJ 28
Reason and Prerequisites
The error only occurs in the source system, if this contains Basis Release 3.1I and Service API (SAPI) 3.0C Support Package 6. SAPI 3.0C Support Package 6 is contained, for example, in PI 2003.1 Support Package 7 (see attached composite SAP note 673002).
Solution
To correct the problem you need service API 3.0C Support Package 7 in the affected source system. The attached composite SAP note 704971 explains in which software components service API 3.0C is contained, and what the corresponding Support Packages of these components are.
Alternatively, you can also copy the advance correction from the appendix.
Hope it helps.

More than one field in generic data source

Hi All,
We wanted extract Allocation data for the sales order from R/3 to BW. I am not able to find proper data source for it... there are two datasources..we wanted afs specific datasource
2LIS_11_V_ITM : Sales-Shipping Allocation Item Data
2LIS_11_V_SCL : Sales-Shipping Allocation Schedule Line
But its not reflecting allocated quantity at all...
So we decided to create generic data source.. but there is one problem for some allocation ARUN is initial.. so i cann't use ARUN as delta field... can i use comination of Sales order no,Item and Schedule line number as delta field....
Because in RSO2 i can define only one field as delta specific field....
How to proceed ???
Regards,
Viren.

Hi,
If you decided to use generic data source, make sure that, U'll have to take only
one filed as a delta, I suggest, you take any date field rather than the value fields
it may be created date/change date and so on so forth..

Pattan.

Generic Data Source issue in CRM.

Hi Guru's,
Generic Data Source with Table gave an issue "invalid Extracture structure template XXXXX of Data source XXXXX"
Generic Data source with Function Module gave an issue "Units field VOLUM_U for field VOLUME of DataSource ZTEST_XYZ is hidden"
Generic Data Source with View configured successfully but the data is not coming in Extractor Checker.
Three tables has taken in to consideration. I think there might be some issue with Join condition.
Can any one through light on this incident. Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Venkat.

Hi Praveen,
yes you are right. I took reference field as VOLUM_U.
I have created Generic Table. Do you need me to take same table in the reference Table.
Thanks
Venkat.

BW Master data delta generic data source for further update in BW

Hi BWers,
I am looking for an option to load delta from Master data to another master data within BW. Export data source option for master data only has full load option but no delta update possible.
I tried creating generic data source delta enabled on view of master data (/BI/M). But the problem I am facing now is master data contains quantity field as attribute and this field refers another table RSDKYF for unit. To be able to create data source on view / table no field should refer field in another table.
Did anybody create delta for master data for further loading within BW or came across similar issue with key figures, please let me know the best procedure in this scenario? Appreciate your quick response.
Regards,
Madhav

In your master data attribute have a date field which will be filled by the R/3 load as sy-datum - then create an export datasource and in the infopackage - give a selectoion for the date field as sy-datum and sy-datum -1..
Not exactly a delta but then usually master data is not kept as delta because the volumes are usually less - you can achieve delta by this method...

How to enable delta in a generic Data Source

   How can i enable it to delta capable...
   What is the concept of Calanderday......timestamp....pointer
   How can i make a decesion (what factors do i need to consider) to go for Calanderday......timestamp....pointer
Please provide me detail steps & description on this as this is my first data source
Thanks

1. Time stamp - The field is a DEC15 field which always contains the time stamp of the last change to a record in the local time format.
2. Calendar day - The field is a DATS8 field which always contains the day of the last change.
3. Numerical pointer - The field contains another numerical pointer that appears with each new record

[color:red}<Moderator Message: This topic has alread been discussed a lot of times. Additionally there are weblogs related to it. Please search the forums and/or the blogs for this issue>
Hi experts,
I have the requirement to get data from Generic Data Sources with function Module,
after finishing the FM I have checked in extact checker(RSA)
in the internal table I_T_DATA is displays 281 records,
but in RSA3 it shows 112560 records, I found that the FM is calling multiple time by executing one time in RSA3.
1.what would be the problem
2.where is the porblem is it in FM coding or any other places to check.

Hi Savita,
I don't understand clearly from your reply regarding flow you transported and what all you transported.
You need to first transport objects in R/3 and import them.
Then transport Infoprovider, Datasource in BI assuming depenedent Infoare Infoobject, application component already transported.
Then transport your Infosource, Update rule, Transfer rules, Infopackage.
Hope you understood.

Extraction, Flat File, Generic Data Source, Delta Initialization

Extraction, Flat File, Generic Data Source, Delta Initialization
I have couple of questions regarding data extraction.
1.     If you have Data Source a Flat File e.g. Excel file I know that you have to create Data Source at BW side. How do you upload updates, by selecting Delta Update when executing next Data Load? Do you ever u201Cconvertu201D this Excel file into Application Tables to become SAP Source 
2.     Can you please give me example of situation where you had to create Generic Data Source? What is difference between Time Stamp, Calend. Day and Numeric Pointer. Which one is most common to select?
3.     I read somewhere that Generic Data Source does not have Setup Table. I thought that you have to have Setup Table in order to load transaction Data otherwise you will lock the Application Tables. Where am I going wrong im my thinking please?
4.     What are steps in terms of IP before, under and after Delta Initialization. I belive that you can do two ways:
Full Update - Initialize Delta Process (without Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update or
Initialize Delta Process (with Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update
Am I right? What is most common method and why?
5.     If you want to add a filed in Data Source after 6 month using it, you want to do it without re-init Delta Queue. You add field in RSA6, then provide info for ABAP to populate new filed (info u2013 name of Data Source, Extract Structure, field added, name of Application Table which contains the field). How does it work now as there is no SetUp table it has been deleted after Initialisation? How does Delta Queue know that it is going to receive data which has been expanded by one field or it may does not need to know at all?
THANKSSSSSSSSSs

Hi,
1. If you have Data Source a Flat File e.g. Excel file I know that you have to create Data Source at BW side. How do you upload updates, by selecting Delta Update when executing next Data Load? Do you ever u201Cconvertu201D this Excel file into Application Tables to become SAP Source
Once you create Datasource for A flat file extraction then it is file source system specific hence you cont change to Application table source Data source
In info package you can change the source as application server instead of desktop no need to change the DS
2. Can you please give me example of situation where you had to create Generic Data Source? What is difference between Time Stamp, Calend. Day and Numeric Pointer. Which one is most common to select?
When we don't find any standard extractor then we can go for Generic(if i want information sales along with finance information in a data source then generally we dont get standard one hence we can go for generic DS)
Check the below link for More about generic DS .
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/Generic+Extraction
for Delta capturing you can use
Timestamp(if the table has time stamp filed so it can stamp the last changed record in that table hence it is easy to get delta based on the time stamp)
Calday- (If the table doesn't have the Timestamp filed then search for Calday where you can stamp the delta based on the date when documents are changed )
Numericpointer : If the table doesn't above both then we go for this option where you can the numeric value change stamp )
3. I read somewhere that Generic Data Source does not have Setup Table. I thought that you have to have Setup Table in order to load transaction Data otherwise you will lock the Application Tables. Where am I going wrong im my thinking please?
Generic datasource nothing but we extracting data directly from the database table without any interface between the application/systems
4. What are steps in terms of IP before, under and after Delta Initialization. I belive that you can do two ways:
Full Update - Initialize Delta Process (without Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update or
Initialize Delta Process (with Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update
Am I right? What is most common method and why?
Correct
5. If you want to add a filed in Data Source after 6 month using it, you want to do it without re-init Delta Queue. You add field in RSA6, then provide info for ABAP to populate new filed (info u2013 name of Data Source, Extract Structure, field added, name of Application Table which contains the field). How does it work now as there is no SetUp table it has been deleted after Initialisation? How does Delta Queue know that it is going to receive data which has been expanded by one field or it may does not need to know at all?
Once you add the new field to structure(DS) you will get the data as on date onwards not historical data hence what is the concept of setup table ( delta records come from the Delta Que not from the setup table )
If you want histaric data to new field then you need to setp table deletion ...etc...
Hope it is clear..

Generic Data Source with View

Hi Experts.....
previously i am creating one view based on VBRP & VBRK common field is VBELN but i have some confusion long days, these two tables having same data Source i.e..2LIS_13_VDHDR , why u create View. So please explain one real time sinario.

Hi,
When we don't find any standard extractor then we can go for Generic(if i want information sales along with finance information in a data source then generally we dont get standard one hence we can go for generic DS)
Re: Extraction, Flat File, Generic Data Source, Delta Initialization
Eg : If you want the information about the All Customers across the regions in that case if i have the information
Like 1)Table 1 has all the information about the Customer number But not having the Customer address and region and Pin code but same information has in other table
table 2 : Customer no,Address, region and Pincode
So since in Two tables i have common field Customer no is present hence if create view then i can get All the information in single in view then you can create Generic DS based on the then same you ca extract the data to BW.

FUNCTION MODULE CREATION FOR GENERIC DATA SOURCE

Hi BI gurus,
I am creating function module for generic datasource. For that I followed below mentioned steps
Steps
1.     Created s structure with the fields that needed.
2. Created FM by copying the standard Function module
" RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE " and Give a New name starting With
Y or Z .
3. IN SE37 ->Your Function module name -> Change, In table tab given structure
name by deleting the associated type given in E_T_DATA .
And inserted the required code given below
      PROGRAM 'ZHU_BALANCE'.
*& Report ZHU_BALANCE
TABLES: VEKP, VEPO.
DATA: BEGIN OF T_DISPLAY,
      DATE   LIKE SY-DATUM,
      EXIDV LIKE VEKP-EXIDV,
      LGORT LIKE VEPO-LGORT,
      WERKS LIKE VEKP-WERKS,
      END OF T_DISPLAY.
DATA: ITAB_DISPLAY LIKE TABLE OF T_DISPLAY.
DATA: WA_ITAB_DISPLAY LIKE LINE OF ITAB_DISPLAY.
SELECT VEKPEXIDV VEPOLGORT VEPO~WERKS
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB_DISPLAY
       FROM VEKP AS VEKP INNER JOIN VEPO AS VEPO
         ON VEKPVENUM = VEPOVENUM
         AND VEKPWERKS = VEPOWERKS
       WHERE VEKP~VSTEL = SPACE
         AND VEKP~VEGR1 = '401'
         AND VEKP~VPOBJ = '12'
         AND VEKP~STATUS = '0020'
         AND VEPO~VEPOS = '000001'.
LOOP AT ITAB_DISPLAY INTO WA_ITAB_DISPLAY.
WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-DATE = SY-DATUM.
MODIFY ITAB_DISPLAY FROM WA_ITAB_DISPLAY TRANSPORTING DATE.
ENDLOOP.
WRITE:/ 'DATE', 20 'EXIDV', 40 'LGORT', 60 'WERKS'.
ULINE.
LOOP AT ITAB_DISPLAY INTO WA_ITAB_DISPLAY.
WRITE:/ WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-DATE, 20 WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-EXIDV , 40 WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-LGORT, 60 WA_ITAB_DISPLAY-WERKS.
ENDLOOP.
While checking the function module its populating the syntax error as
THE TYPE SRSC_S_IF_SIMPLE IS UNKOWN. (Though this is commented in program)
So pls suggest
Regards,
praful

hi indira,
thanx for ur reply we have created the funcion module successfuly it is also showing the output correct. But when we put that function module in the generic data source and try to extract data in RSA3 it shows the correct output of function module but with the msg ' 0 entries found in customer enhancement' and therfore zero records in the display list.
is there any correction or steps to be followed in data extraction
pls suggest
regards,
praful

Generic data source with float field possible?

Hello,
when creating an generic data source using a view with a float field I get error R8359 (extract structure: You tried to generate an extract structure with the template structure .... This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field ... refer to a different table.).
I changed the data element from ATFLV to e.g. FLOAT but it did not help.
SAP hint 335342 deals with this issue, but I just want to use the float number without the unit.
Is this possible or do I need to write a function module?
Best regards
Thomas

Hi,
you could try to add the unit table and field to your view. When saving the datasource in RSO2, you can choose to hide these fields if you don't want them extracted into BW.
