SAP BODS and CTS+ schema

Hi all
I want import any objects from BODS to SAP NW BW(Development) and merge with ABAP objects in requests and transport this ABAP requests with BODS objects in same request to other SAP NW BW system (Quality) .
Can CTS+ provide my this functionality?
Need additional components in this landscape?
Transport schema in attach

You can do this by exporting the DS objects you want to move from DEV to QA into an atl or xml file. Then include that file in your transport.
After the transport, you'll have to import the file into the QA DS repository.

SAP BODS and SAP ECC integration for Sales data

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to load sales data from BODS into SAP ECC. Could you please suggest me a best approach for this?
I really appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel
What sales data you want to migrate?. Like
1) Customer master
2) Pricing Condition
3) Sales Order
4) Customer Sales Area
5) Scheduling Agreement
6) Schedule Lines
7) Customer Material Info Records
What you want to migrate. Evyerything is possible only by IDOC's if the volume of data is less( < 100000). If its more they the best option is only by BAPI method.
please provide the exact requirement then we can through some light on it.

Error in BODS and SAP connectivity

Hi,
We are trying to fetch the data from SAP thru ETL tool BODS; while doing so we are facing the following issues :
1. While connecting to SAP RFCu2019s through BODS, we are getting the following error
u2018RFC CallReceive error <Function RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN : You do not have authorization for this functionu2026u2026> (BODI-1112339).
As per our understanding, this requires the privilege to execute the function RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN. ??
2. Also, we require to load the BODS functions(related to SAP) on SAP Server using CTS (Correction and Transfer System); as per help document given in technical manual of BODS. We are getting the error while importing the component in BODS as these functions are not available in SAP.Getting error like function module Z_AW_TABLE_IMPORT not found
We are following the instructions and we have the required files (R900XXX.SXX and K900XXX.SXX). But we do not find /usr/sap/trans/data and /usr/sap/trans/cofiles directories in SAP server.
How to achieve this in BODS ??
Also can you tell one thing that can we talk to SAP from BODS without importing the tables and metadata in BODS datastore ??
Urgent help required.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Experts..even i have the same requirement.But i am doing it wrt Master data.
There are two options:
Option - I: Your source data should give updated date and time(which is the case in my scenario) In the PSA you always load the Full data and in the start routine compare the data with the last update date and time and accordingly modify your data in teh target and then set the date and time to the last updated date and time.
Option - II: In the data service load job use another table called mirror table to and always compare the new data with the mirror table and send to BW only the changed records(Delta).
Btw i have an issue in loading hierarchy data to SAP BW.I have the same structure in the MSSQL but when executing the loas job it throws the following error :
Error while executing the following command: -Sd1 return code:75
Thanks!

Changing Character set in SAP BODS Data Transport

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue in extracting data from SAP.
Job details: I am using an ABAP data Flow which fetches the data from SAP and loads into Oracle table using Data Transport.
Its giving me below error while executing my job:
(12.2) 05-06-11 11:54:30 (W) (3884:2944) FIL-080102: |Data flow DF_SAP_EXTRACT_QMMA|Transform R3_QMMA_EXTRACT__AL_ReadFileMT_Process
                                                     End of file was found without reading a complete row for file <D:/DataService/SAP/Local/Z_R3_QMMA>. The expected number of
                                                     columns was <30> while the number of columns actually read was <10>. Please check the input file for errors or verify the
                                                     schema specification for the file format. The number of rows processed was <8870>.
reason: When analyzed I found the reason for this is presence of special characters in data. So while generating the data file in SAP working directory which is available on SAP Application server the SAP code page is 1100 due to which the delimeter of the file and the special characters are represented with #. So once the ABAP is executed and data is read from the file it is treating the # as delimiter and throwing the above error.
I tried to replace the special characters in ABAP data Flow but the ABAP data Flow doesnot support replace_substr function. I also tried changing the Code Page value to UTF-8 in SAP datastore properties but this didnt work as well.
Please let me know what needs to be done to resolve this issue. Is there any way we change the character set while reading from the generated data file in BODS to convert code page 1100 to UTF-8.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sudheer.

Unfortunately, I am no longer working on this particular project/problem. What I did discover though, is that /127 actually refers to character <control>+<backspace>. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delete_character)
In SAP this and any other unknown characters get converted to #.
The conclusion I came to at the time, was that these characters made their way into the actual data and was causing the issue. In fact I think it is still causing the issue, since no one takes responsibility for changing the records, even after being told exactly which records need to be updated ;-)
I think I did try to make the changes on the above mentioned file, but without success.

Using the Execute Preloaded Option for ABAP Dataflows in SAP BODS

Hello All,
This is regarding the use of Advanced Option in SAP Application Type (ECC) Datastore settings in SAP BODS 4.2, where there are two options to select from for ABAP Execution Option property: (1)Generate and Execute and (2) Execute Preloaded. Since our ECC client is often locked by BASIS team even on DEV environment, we would like to make use of the second option 'Execute Preloaded' so that we could extract the data from ECC tables without having to ask the BASIS team to unlock the ECC client every time before extraction.
The problem is that we are getting an error upon generating and uploading the ABAP program to ECC client. I have searched the blogs and so far I have only found that there are certain ABAP programs or function modules that come with SAP BODS which need to be installed by BASIS team on ECC side to allow the ABAP dataflows to be generated and uploaded to ECC server. I would appreciate it if anyone could provide a list of which function modules BASIS needs to install on ECC or a blog that provides details around using this option.
So far, from the SAP BODS designer, we are performing below steps but getting an error upon generating and uploading the ABAP dataflow program:
1. Create a test ABAP Dataflow using SAP ECC datastore. Provide the ABAP program options.
2. Right click, select Generate ABAP Program.
3. Once the ABAP Program Generation Dialog box appears, check the box "Upload Generated Program".
4. Upon clicking OK, we are getting the following error:
The ABAP program <ZRTEST01> for ABAP data flow <RT_TEST_R3> (datastore <R3_DS>) was not uploaded: < RFC CallReceive error <Function /BODS/RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: RFC_ABAP_MESSAGE- Exception condition "NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI" trigger[SAP NWRFC 720][SAP Partner ### ][clientname][servername][accountname][4103]>. >.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rizwan

All,
The BASIS team reviewed steps provided in the BODS document and attempted to install the Function Modules but now none of the BODS jobs would work. All BODS jobs are being terminted with the Syntax Error error when extracting data from ECC using ABAP dataflows:

What are the major differences between BODS and Talend ?

Hi Friends,
We had a client meeting 2 days back regarding BODS project, But our client is showing more interest on Talend. We have explained/demo him on BODS. Could any one please tell me, What are the major differences between BODS and Talend ? What are the features of BODS which are not there in TELEND ?
Thanks,
Bheem.

Hi,
If you talk difference than Talend is an open source. SAP DS as huge advantage when it comes to loading data into SAP and it is more flexible with lots of inbuilt features and easy to load data into SAP using DS directly and extracting data from various legacy systems.

Questions about CIN tax procedure choice and pricing schemas

Hi all,
I have to implement SAP on a Indian company and I'm verifying all particularity about this country (in particular tax procedures and the great number of differents tax conditions used).
I have two questions about tax procedures and pricing schemas. Every feedback about thse points will be appreciated.
a) To choose tax procedure TAXINN or TAXINJ which are the elements that I have to consider?
I have read lot of documentation about CIN implementation and Iu2019m oriented to choose TAXINN schema, but If possible I would to understand better which are on behalf of one choice or another.
b) To define pricing schemas for India, after check with local users and using examples of documents (in particular tax invoice) actually produced, I have understood that taxes have to be applied on amount defined starting from price list, minus discounts recognized to customer plus surcharges eventually to bill (packing, transport, etc.).
Itu2019s correct for any type of taxes that tax amount is calculated on u201Cnet valueu201D defined at item level or there are exceptions to this rule?
Thanks in advance
Gianpaolo

hi,
this is to inform you that,
a) About point 1 I know the difference between the 2 tax procedures (conditions or formulas). I also have read in others post in the FORUM that TAXINN is preferable. So I would to understand which are the advantages to choose instead TAXINJ. There are particular reasons or it'a only an alternative customizing setting?
a.a. for give for posting the link : plese give me the advantages of TAXINJ and TAXINN
CIN - TAXINN and TAXINJ
b) About point 2, to define which value has to be used as base amount to calculate taxes isn't a choice, but is defined depending by fiscal requirement of the country, in this case India fiscal requirement. I know that, as Lakshmipathi
write as answer on my question, exception could be, but it was important for me to understand if I have understood correctly the sequence of the pricing condition in the schema in "normal" situation.
b.b. you can create your own pricing procedure for this and go ahead.
hope this clears your issue.

I can´t edit the text files with SAP BODS 3.2

Hello
I can not edit some text files 9-20 megabytes to replace two words in each file, the source is a text file and the same destination but with different name, because with the same name have been unable . My idea is to remove the original and stay with the new performing edition but that if he does , let me file this way:
SALES_ORDERS_FULL_20140223_150051_006.xml ( ORIGINAL )
should leave it with me so : SALES_ORDERS_FULL_20140223_150051_006.xml _OLD (AMENDED )
but strangely leaves me so :
MICROSOFT_SQL_SERVER_KCC-BI_REPO_KHSA_XI_REPO_KHSA_XI_1543_5434_2_3_Long_INVOICES_INCREMENTAL_20140225_034004_001_xml_dat.txt (not deseased)
The type of data you use is long since varchar not allow me because it cuts my data file , use varchar (50000000) but takes the information and short .
I am using long data type , modify the file and I pass the name of the text files of sap bods for global variables. They are a series of files that are called by a while loop
Thanks for your answers
regards

HIr
Yes, first I convert long_to_varchar for edit, and convert varchar_to_long.
I edit before before and later
Thanks

ChaRM and CTS+ for EP 7.0 in SolMan

Hi,
I've been trying to get CHaRM working for EP 7.0 in our SolMan systems for a while, but have not been able to get it working. I've read through and followed all the documentation on the resources page here, the Solution Manager documentation on help.sap.com and service.sap.com and all the notes I can find. We are running SolMan 7.0 SPS 17, and the Portal is on NW7.0 SPS 15.
I have configured SMSY, populated from SLD and assigned to a system (I've tried NETWEAVER 7.0 - Enterprise Portal main instance, and ERP 6.0 - SAP XSS main instance) and assigned the dev and prod systems to a locical component.
I have configured STMS, a single client independant consolidation route from dev to prod. The dev system is defined as a Non-ABAP "source system" in TMS, and I've set the communication system to be the solman system/client.
The CTS+ config all seems to work, I can create/release transports and add objects to transports from the EP dev system.
When I try to implement ChaRM, I create a new maintenance project. I add the portal landscape component to it, and activate change management. This works. When I try to create the task list, it fails trying to create the project IMG for the system. It gives me the error -
IMG project creation error -> see long text
Message no. /TMWFLOW/TASKLIST164
Diagnosis
You want to create a new maintenance cycle. An error has occurred.
When you create a maintenance cycle for a maintenance project in the Solution Manager (SMI project), a project is created in the Central Transport System (CTS project), per logical development system. This CTS project is required as an attribute for the transport requests.
A CTS project is always assigned to an implementation project (IMG project) in the physical system. There must be an IMG project in all physical systems in an SMI project, in which a system change (development/maintenance) can be made.
If there is no IMG project in a system, one is created automatically. The generated IMG project has the same name TEST as the SMI project, but there cannot be an SMI project and an IMG project with the same name in one system, for system-internal reasons.
In SMI project TEST there is a development system in the same physical system SMU as the Solution Manager.
System Response
If one of the development systems is in the same physical system as the Solution Manager, the IMG project cannot be created automatically.
Procedure
Create an IMG project manually in system SMU. In the path: SAP Menu -> Tools -> Solution Manager -> Project Administration.
Choose the SMI project TEST, go to the 'System Landscape' tab, and then the 'IMG Projects' tab.
Select an entry for the system SMU and try to create the IMG project. The system tells you that a system of the same name already exists, and asks you whether you want to choose another project name. Answer 'Yes', and change the project name.
You should then be able to create the task plan.
SMU (solution Manager) is not in the system landscape of this project, I expect that it is trying to create the IMG in this system since this is the communication system for portal dev. However, since it's not in the landscape, it isn't in the IMG tab to be able to create manually as described.
If I try to create the IMG project for the Portal Dev system directly in the project, I get the error -
Error getting RFC destination for logical system EPU
Message no. SMSY_PPMS_API044
Diagnosis
No RFC destination was found for the logical system 'EPU' .
System Response
The RFC connection to the system 'EPU' cannot be created.
Procedure
Create the required RFC connection in the Solution Manger System Landscape Maintenance.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James Blair

Hi James (and others),
I trust you have resolved your issues with ChaRM and CTS+.
If you are running a partuicularly extensive landscape you may want to consider a third party alternative to ChaRM.
Particularly one that integrates with CTS+ (to include non ABAP such as Portal, NWDI Java and so on).
There are several available, the one I am most falimiar with (Note: I do work with Revelation Software Concepts) is Rev-Trac and you can read user reviews at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/revtrac
If you run an EcoHub search on Change and Request Management or similar the other alternatives should be returned.

HTTP Adapter and DUNS scheme - possible bug ?

Hi Folks,
I am using the HTTP adapter for posting an XML message which is then redirected towards IDOC adapter ... nothing special here ...
I am using the scheme 'DUNS' and agency '016' to pass along the partner identification when calling the HTTP adapter ...
The HTTP adapter tries to match the given partner information and finds the proper XI Party ... BUT ... it overwrites the DUNS number value with the XI Party but leaves the agency and scheme pointing to DUNS ...
An example
Going IN:
Party = 12345789, Agency = 016, Scheme = DUNS
After conversion
Party = MyPartner, Agency = 016, Scheme = DUNS
So the receiver determination works fine and then we go to the IDOC adapter when stuff goes into error as it cannot convert the given sender information into a proper IDOC partner ...
The whole thing works fine when I am passing along
Party = MyPartner, Agency = http://sap.com ..., Scheme = XIParty
then the IDOC is created and send towards SAP ...
I am thinking that the Sender determination in the HTTP adapter goes wrong as the combination
Party = MyPartner, Agency = 016, Scheme = DUNS
is clearly wrong ... Furthermore I have lost my original DUNS number ( so it cannot be used for example in mappings, etc ... )
Anyone had similar issues or problems with this ?
Regards,
Steven

Apply note 954645. This should solve the issue.

The DUNS must be provided in the message payload as well.
Usually the party normalization is done by the adapters in a very specific way. So the RNIF adapter takes the DUNS out of the message payload of the RosettaNet message and does the party normalization with that DUNS.
In the HTTP adapter there is no need for a party normalization as you provide a URL for the HTTP client where you can add the party in the query string.

Stefan

Diffrence between File Transport and CTS+ Transport in PI

Hi Guys,
Can you please explain me the diffrence between File Transport and CTS+ Transport in PI.
What are the advantages of CTS+ Transportation over FILE Transportation...
Thanks,
Siva...

The file transfer will simply export the objects to a TPZ file, allowing you to import on the target system. This requires manual copying and paste of the object and have no further control.
CTS+ on the other side, allows the environment to maintain transport requests with control over objects audit. For example, an object must be created on DEV, then after being developed it must go to QA system and will only be sent to PROD when this object was approved by the respective team on QA. For more information on CTS+, please check the help page below.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/9a/775de286874bc78dcb1470bc80f0f9/frameset.htm
Also the documentation below will provide a more complete overview and configuration steps for the CTS+ usage

BODS and Oracle RAC

Do we know of any problems with BODS and Oracle Real Application Clusters architecture? For example, a RAC TNS entry would specify one service name but multiple hosts for load balancing and failover. In BODS the connections are specified in many places (web console, datastores, job server). As far as I remember in some of those places we do have to enter the host name. Would this disqualify BODS from benefiting from RAC or would it (even worse) cause problems? Any official note by SAP on BODS and Oracle RAC?
Thanks.

Hi Mahir,
As far as I know it's only the web console that requires the hostname, however I am using DS XI 3.1 and when selecting database type Oracle in the web console there is a checkbox for 'Oracle RAC'. If you check this box then you do not require to enter the hostname.

Port and XML Schema

I wanted to configure the Port and XML schema for a repository.
I followed the following steps.
I have XML Schema file in my local disk. Then I created Port in the console.
However I am not able to see any folder structure getting created on unix server. The port was saved successfuly.
I can not see the Ready folder for this particular folder.
Can you please help me?

Hi SudhaViz,
Firstly create a remote system and associate that with the port.
You can find the port in the following path of that particular remote system.
C:\Program Files\SAP MDM 7.1\Server\Distributions\HostName_DB\Repository Name\Inbound\Remote_System\Port\Ready,
C being the drive where you have installed MDM Server
