SAP BODS Licensing

Hello Everyone,
Its a very specific question about SAP BODS Licensing.
Version can be 3.1 / 4.0 /4.2
I tried to find this information from different sources in Google but not able to get any proper information.
Actually we are trying to figure out how many license we need.
The plan is :
EnvironmentInfrastructure capability
Development(20 repositories)·         15-16 developer repositories.
One per developer.·        
One central repository for version control.·        
3-4 backup repositories for any ad-hoc needs.
=======================================
Test - Component Testing(4 Repositories)·        
2 main repositories for executions.·        
2 backup repositories for any ad-hoc needs.
===========================================
Test - Integration Testing(6 Repositories)·        
3 main repositories for executions.·        
3 backup repositories for any ad-hoc needs.
===========================================
Test - Dress Rehearsal(4 Repositories)·        
2 main repositories for executions.·        
2 backup repositories for any ad-hoc needs.
============================================
Production Environments(2 Repositories)·        
1 main repository for executions.·        
1 backup repository for any ad-hoc needs.
Thank you

All the comments above are helpful.
But still I am stuck in few places to define the licensing for BODS
1. If we say it depends on CPU core, then how to define how many cores will be required?
2. Is the calculation is on volumentrics of data that will pass through BODS, if yes what will be the calculation?
3. If I derive the number of cores, how to derive the  number of CPU licenses for BODS?
***NOTE: Is there any formula to calculate***

  • 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:

  • 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

  • Is SAP BODS the best ETL tool for a complex BI Environment

    Hi All
    We are in the process of rationilising our BI / Analytics environment.
    We currently have SAP ECC6 as our ERP system, SAP BW as our Warehouse and BO for WEB and Dashboard fron ends. In additon we have a small instance of COGNOS which is largely fed with flat file loads but some Oracle and ECC6 data.
    In addition we are evaluating Big data solutions with Teradata the current lead.
    We are in danger of having multiple ETL tools associated with the main BI applications and so we are comparing SAP BODS with IBM Datastage with a view to slecting one of them as our only ETL tool.
    Does anyone have any compatability information for SAP BODS with Cognos and Teradata? The main function required would be extracting from ECC6 into SAP BW, Cognos and Teradata.
    Thanks
    Jerry

    Hi Jerry,
    Cognos is a presentation tool so no worries as far integration is concerned.
    As far teradata is concerned, kindly see the following doc:

  • SAP B1 License Manager not starting automatcially

    Dear All
    SAP Version : SAP 9.0 PL12
    Issue :
    1)SAP B1 License manager is not starting automatically even when the status is automatic in the Services.msc
    2)Also when logged from the client system its asks for the IP address/server name every time.
    3)Some times it connects with the Server name and sometimes with the IP address.
    And at cases it doesn't even connect at all throwing the error message "Connection to the license server failed" .
    and then when we replace the config files of SAP B1 to DI API it works fine at cases.
    This issue occurs on a random basis and at almost in all the systems(System connected in the morning is facing issue at afternoon).
    And it becomes an activity on a daily basis.
    So kindly let us know the exact cause for this issue and also a permanent solution for the same.
    Note : Firewall setting is turned off.
    Regards

    check with the links

    Check in Service Manager TAO_NT_Naming_Service does it has dependency with SAP B 1 License Manager.
    Check the above in the services... does it has got dependency
    check does it has set to restart on first failure and second failure in the TAO NT properties Recovery..

  • While loading data I am getting Access violation process dump option is off in sap bods

    This can be caused by many things, I recommend searching SAP Support Portal for ACCESS_VIOLATION and using the Call Stack to track down the specific issue.
    e.g.,
    Call stack:

  • User Type (Dialog , Communication etc) can impact on SAP User Licensing

    Dear Expert,
    The User Type (Dialog, Communication, System etc) can impact on SAP User Licensing.
    Suppose if I craete a user type other than DIALOG such as SYSTEM or COMMUNICATION etc; will this be counted as License User. Or only DIALOG users are paid license users.
    Kindly advice.
    Regards
    AJ

    Thanks Uday and Nagendra...
    Dear Nagendra,
    with reference to below sentense from your referred link
    " Consolidating Contractual User Types  
    Use
    With this procedure, you consolidate the contractual user types of the individual users. The LAW takes account of the fact that certain contractual user types are already contained in others. In this way, license costs are only incurred for the inclusive user types of the user."
    When I go User Classification Display screen, under Contractual User Type column all my 150 users are marked "Operational" but for those which I defined as System / Communication User are defined any contractual user type.
    What does it mean??
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • SAP B1 License problem

    Hi all,
    At one of our customer,SAP B1 license was imported. However they formatted the server and created domain on the server.We again installed SAP B18.8 PL10.Consequently the Hardware key was changed.Hence we edited the license key request system details(replaced old Hardware key with the new one) and send the fresh license Key Request.But the new license file I received has validity of 14 days for the Professional User,while other Licensetypes have validity till 31.12.9999.
    Hence I deleted the old system from the list of Existing Systems by logging in to Customer Portal and then requested the new system(Production System).But again the License file I received has a Professional User with the validity of 14 days whereas it shouldbe till 31.12.9999 while other license types has validity till 31.12.9999.What is the reason?
    Please guide me as we need to import the license file .
    -Sudhir

    Hi,
    I suggest you to ask the SAP B1 partner in your country to check if the old license system has been perfectly deleted.
    You should check if the requested is zero before request new license.
    Make sure that the professional users are not exceeding the licensed quantity.

    I am afraid such a tool doesn't exist and you'll have to restart from the functional specs (or reverse engineer in the worst case scenario) to build an equivalent DS application.
    Look at it from this angle: that approach will give you the opportunity to do a much better job .
