SAP DART - Data Retention Tool

Hi folks,
Anyone has experience with DART Data Retention Tool? This tool generates a flat file with an audit log result and I would like to know if is possible generate it in XML format? If not, which is the best option to convert this flat file in a XML?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

XML is not an option, however you can generate a view file in a format that contains meta data describing all field properties in the same file. That would be the best format to start with for XML conversion I think.

SAP Master data migration tools

Hi,
I would like to know if any SAP standard tools which are available for all master data migration,Kindly share the same which is required for us now.
We have to migrate the data from legacy systems to SAP and we have to use only SAP Standard master data migration tools.
Kindly share the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Raveendra

Raveendra,
SAP migrates data from legacy system using standard tools like LSMW, BDC, BAPI. Under LSMW you will have Batch input, Batch recording, BAPI and IDOCs options. Depending upon requirement you can choose any one of them. BAPI is advisable instead of BDC method.
Also for utilities industry SAP has provided ISU Migration tool (EMIGALL).

Data Services as a data migration tool

Hello All,
Has anybody used Data Services as a data migrition tool from a SAP ECC system? If so what is it like to use and are there any documents on this?
Cheers,
Nick.

Hi Nick.
About documents, here are some of them, but one that I think it could be useful for your understanding is the "BI109 SAP Data Migration" session: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/shop?rid=/media/uuid/c08b931e-2a83-2c10-2aba-cb3968c5bc4e.
It shows the data migration framework based on SAP BusinessObjects technologies for legacy to SAP and SAP to SAP migrations.
More technical documents, showing how to set up iDocs, LSMW, etc:

Where to download EH&S Data Editor tool

Hi,
I know EH&S Data Editor tool is not more available to download from TechniData ftp site. Do you know where can I download EH&S Data Editor tool in SAP Service Marketplace or TechniData site?
Thanks,
KC

Mark,
Somebody of my team would like to use this tool within the scope of a PLM project (for initial data load).
Of course I will contact my SAP service account manager but it should be useful to explain to the community (do not need all thedetails) why this product is not sold anymore (after Technidata acquisition).
Does it mean that there is a similar, equivalent solution within the SAP product portfolio (Business Objects) area for example ?
Thanks beforehand.

Hi Prahlad,
Go through this hope u can understand.
With SAP Accelerated Data Migration, you can reduce migration
costs by as much as 50% and avoid interruption of business
processes. Moreover, shutting down the source system after
migration reduces system administration costs and total cost
of operations. In short, you realize the following benefits:
Significantly reduced cost and time to complete migration
projects
Accurate, cost-effective data transfer applicable for any kind
of source system
Better data quality because of preconfigured business objects
that ensure data consistency
Improved end-user productivity and acceptance thanks to
migration of historical data
Effective migration that avoids interruption of business
processes
Full support services to avoid risks and ensure the optimum
performance of your new business applications
Faster return on investment
In short, a smoother, more cost-effective migration to a new
technology solution ultimately positions your organization
to lower your total cost of ownership, maintain competitive
advantage, and pursue new business opportunities.
Expertise in Action
SAP Accelerated Data Migration applies a business objectoriented,
two-step approach that uses a neutral interface as a staging area
and predefined migration content for the conversion and upload
of data. The neutral interface enables the SAP tool to generate
predefined migration content and prevents all potential legal
issues regarding the intellectual property of any source-system
vendor. The whole data migration process from the source to
the target system consists of just two steps, as follows:
1. Data is extracted from the source system into the standard
interface as XML files.
2. Data migrates from the interface into the mySAP Business
Suite database. The migration is based on a new migration
workbench engine developed by SAP based on the SAP
NetWeaver® platform. All requirements for mapping structures
and fields and developing complex conversion rules are solved
within this engine (see Figure 1).
Once the migration is complete, business-unit end users have
access to all the legacy data in the new applications as if it had
originated there. They can continue to work on the existing
business process items in the new applications and benefit from
improved functionality.
Lifting the Limitations
Much of the cost and effort involved in classical data migrations
are generated by migration content development, as follows:
Identifying business objects for migration to properly support
the business
Defining the structure and field mapping for the relevant
business objects
Developing conversion rules for all necessary value mapping
Readily available migration content can simplify this effort.
SAP Accelerated Data Migration provides preconfigured business
content, helping you migrate it to your new system more efficiently
and rapidly. The tool allows the migration of all types of
data, independent of its current state within a business process.
This includes master and dynamic data, as well as partially
processed and historical data, to minimize data loss. Business
processes are uninterrupted and normal operation procedures
can be retained.
By providing a standard, neutral interface and reading data as an
XML file, SAP Accelerated Data Migration is applicable for any
kind of source system. Preconfigured data migration objects built
specifically for SAP applications significantly simplify the conversion
from non-SAP software data into SAP software data objects,
yielding far-reaching benefits. Besides reducing related IT costs,
you can be certain of consistency across business-object boundaries.
Through a direct insert into the database, you avoid the
performance limitations of classical data migration.

How to export sap bi data in to oracle bi

Hi Experts,
How to export sap bi data in to oracle bi. what is the connection used for this .
Plz assist me,
Thanks & Regards,
P.Swaroop.

Hi Swaroopsagar ,
When you need to transfer data from SAP BI system to other Target systems,lets say Oracle BI.
SAP BI would become the source system and Oracle Bi sould be the target system. In this case I would suggest you to use Open hub provided by SAP BI.You have the option of specifying the Open Hub destination as
1. Database table.
2. Falt file
3. Third party tool.
The onus of extarcting the data from SAP BI ssytem into ORACLE BI system sould vest with the Target system. Open Hub can provide a suitable destination , once this is done it is upto to the target system to extract data by connecting to this destination....

James Harold.

EDT and BDT data transfer tool...

Hi,
I am working in insurance module of SAP. There is a business object called Business Partner which we need to migrate from legacy to R/3.
Now for migration of Business partner generally LSMW is not used. People here use EDT (External data transfer) and BDT (Business data toolset)
Does some one know about EDT and BDT as data transfer tools ?

Rajesh.

Hi Rich,
I will make sure that I don't duplicate the post.
Thanks.

Archiving data retention period (best practice)

Hi,
Can anybody provide the standard FI-CO data retention period I mean for how long data from the following table has to be retained:
BKPF, BSAD, BSAK, BSAS, BSIS
Best business practice.
Thanks in advance
Joseph

Hi,
I would not recommend to change this setting. One major problem you get will be that the archiving function will delete data from database (which has been transferred to the archive). So far so good, that´s one of the archiving features
But it sometimes happens that you have to open an already closed fiscal year again. And if you open this last closed fiscal year again, the realtime transactions could fail now if data (transactions, etc.) is missing which exists only in the archive at that point of time.
By the way, you can have a look at SAP note 389920, in there the archiving functionality is documented for FI-AA application.

Markus

Best Practices for converting SAP HR data (4.7 to ECC)

Hello Experts ...
We are going from 4.6 to ECC ... no upgrade ..it will be a new implementation ...
I am looking for best practices to convert SAP HR data from one sap instance(4.6) to another(ECC) ...
I am not sure if direct input or LSMW or any other method/tool is the best way ...
Will really appreciate and award point if I can get good advise or documentation ...
Let me know if my question is not clear enough.
Thanks,

Hi
You can check SAP Marketplace and there follow the download link. You will require a SAP Marketplace login to download the Best Practices. Fortunately Best practices for ECC 5.00 and 6.00 are available there but they are country specific versions. I know HCM for US is available there.

Configuration Data Transfer Tool

Hello all,
I am working with my client to plan our ME Configuration and we are trying to determine how best to propagate the configuration from one system to another (i.e. DEV to QA to PROD).
I understand there is a new tool being developed for SAP ME 6.0 called the Configuration Data Transfer Tool.
Will it be possible to use this tool for SAP ME 5.2.5? Has anyone tried to do this?
What are the overall recommendations and/or methods other folks have used to move their configuration to another system?
The goal is to move configuration and master data only, no transactional data.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Mari Santangelo

Mari,
Configuration Data Transfer Tool is not a standalone application but just a feature (the activity) of ME 6.0 so you can't use it with ME 5.2.5. And there is no information about porting it back from 6.0 to 5.2.5.
In 5.x and prior releases, there is DataXchange tool mentioned by Ivan and Site2Site Transfer activity (you can find the guide next to Xchange guide on SMP).
Regards,
Sergiy
