SAP Data Extraction requirements - mySAP SCM SPP/ ERP

Hello All,
Could you please explain me how to start for this requirement?.
<b>Business Summary:</b>
For MM Planning to have a substantial range of Master and Transactional data to get extracted from the SAP system for reporting and analysis purposes. A list of the data requested for extraction for the SCM.
<b>Functional Discription:</b>
There is a general MM Planning requirement to have most Master and Transactional data extracted from SAP-APO for reporting and analysis purposes in order to support following business tasks:
     process evaluation and optimization
     error analyzes
     ad-hoc reporting
     planning processes out of scope for SCM launch (e.g. ATR process)
The data need to be automatically extracted on regular basis (i.e.: daily/weekly/monthly/yearly: this will be defined during the next steps for every single set of data) and made available in a structured environment to the SCM Planning Team for the above mentioned processes.
The requirement for data availability outside of SAP APO comprises both current data and historical data.
FoE: today no "final" report is generated by the SCM Planning team directly within the current data warehouse environment. Most data are extracted from the current data warehouse to external tools. Current assumption is that this will remain unchanged.
Some regular reports (MBB, Inventory Dashboard) may be directly developed in Business Warehouse in future if this offers any improvement (flexibility, design, handling.). This will be investigated by the SCM Planning Team after go-live.
FUS: For the analyses and the planning processes that are out of scope, the data will need to be extracted so that it is available for use in analytical tools that are powerful enough to process the data and appropriate calculations.
Regular reports may be directly developed in the BW if it is determined that that is the most appropriate location and tool. Otherwise, the data will need to be integrated into reports generated using tools outside of SAP. That determination will needs to be completed based on the type of data being reported.
Thanks & Regards

SAP data extraction mapping, where the JCO files need to be copied?

Hi All,
I have the following environment.
OWB client: Windows7
OWB server: Linux x86_64
SAP Server: Windows Server 2003
I need to create OWB mapping to extract data from SAP to Oracle target.
Please let me know what are the JCO files required and where do i need to copy them?
Do i need to copy them on both the owb client and server or is it enough to copy them on the client machine alone?
Thanks and Regards,
Pnreddy.

OWB client isn't supported on Windows 64-bit, just wanted to let you know since you mentioned Windows 7..
For the windows you will require 3 files sapjcorfc.dll, librfc32.dll and sapjco.jar. You can get them from the SAP install cd or download them from http://service.sap.com/connectors for your SAP version. You will need to have a SAPnet account to do that.
You can place the files sapjcorfc.dll and sapjco.jar in OWB_HOME\owb\lib\int, and librfc32.dll in OWB_HOME\owb\bin and also set the PATH to reference this directories.
For linux you will need librfcccm.so, libsapjcorfc.so and sapjco.jar. Also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to reference these files locations.
If you are only extracting metadata from SAP then you need it only on the OWB client but if you plan to execute ABAP programs on the SAP system you will need to set it up on the server side.

BODS 3.1 : SAP R/3 data extraction -What is the difference in 2 dataflows?

Hi.
Can anyone advise as to what is the difference in using the data extraction flow for extracting Data from SAP R/3 ?
1)DF1 >> SAPR/3 (R3/Table -query transformation-dat file) >>query transformation >> target
This ABAP flow generates a ABAP program and a dat file.
We can also upload this program and run jobs as execute preloaded option on datastore.
This works fine.
2) We also can pull the SAP R/3 table directly.
DF2>>SAPR/3 table (this has a red arrow like in OHD) >> Query transformation >> target
THIS ALSO Works fine. And we are able to see the data directly into oracle.
Which can also be scheduled on a job.
BUT am unable to understand the purpose of using the different types of data extraction flows.
When to use which type of flow for data extraction.
Advantage / disadvantage - over the 2 data flows.
What we are not understanding is that :
if we can directly pull data from R/3 table directly thro a query transformation into the target table,
why use the Flow of creating a R/3 data flow,
and then do a query transformation again
and then populate the target database?
There might be some practical reasons for using these 2 different types of flows in doing the data extraction. Which I would like to understand. Can anyone advise please.
Many thanks

Hi Jeff.
Greetings. And many thanks for your response.
Generally we pull the entire SAP R/3 table thro query transformation into oracle.
For which we use R/3 data flow and the ABAP program, which we upload on the R/3 system
so as to be able to use the option of Execute preloaded - and run the jobs.
Since we do not have any control on our R/3 servers nor we have anyone on ABAP programming,
we do not do anything at the SAP R/3 level
I was doing this trial and error testing on our Worflows for our new requirement
WF 1 : which has some 15 R/3 TABLES.
For each table we have created a separate Dataflow.
And finally in between in some dataflows, wherein, the SAP tables which had lot of rows, i decided to pull it directly,
by-passing the ABAP flow.
And still the entire work flow and data extraction happens ok.
In fact i tried creating a new sample data flow and tested.
Using direct download and - and also execute preloaded.
I did not see any major difference in time taken for data extraction;
Because anyhow we pull the entire Table, then choose whatever we want to bring into oracle thro a view for our BO reporting or aggregate and then bring data as a table for Universe consumption.
Actually, I was looking at other options to avoid this ABAP generation - and the R/3 data flow because we are having problems on our dev and qa environments - giving delimiter errors. Whereas in production it works fine. Production environment is a old set up of BODS 3.1. QA and Dev are relatively new enviornments of BODS. Which is having this delimiter error.
I did not understand how to resolve it as per this post : https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/2596
And trying to resolve this problem, I ended up with the option of trying to pull directly the R/3 table. Without using ABAP workflow. Just by trial and error of each and every drag and drop option. Because we had to urgently do a POC and deliver the data for the entire e recruiting module of SAP.
I dont know whether i could do this direct pulling of data - for the new job which i have created,
which has 2 workflows with 15 Dataflows in each worflow.
And and push this job into production.
And also whether i could by-pass this ABAP flow and do a direct pulling of R/3 data, in all the Dataflows in the future for ANY of our SAP R/3 data extraction requirement. And this technical understanding is not clear to us as regards the difference between the 2 flows. And being new to this whole of ETL - I just wanted to know the pros and cons of this particular data extraction.
As advised I shall check the schedules for a week, and then we shall move it probably into production.
Thanks again.
Kind Regards
Indu

Data extraction with PL/SQL

Hi Expert
My customer wants to use PL/SQL language for SAP data extraction in Oracle database. He doesnt want to use ABAP code for this.
In my opinion I think that its not correct to do this but I have no solid argument.
Could anyone explain to me why its not advisable to use the ORACLE database directly for this data extraction?
Best regards

Hi,
PL SQL(Native SQL) statements bypass the R/3 database interface. There is no table logging, and no synchronization with the database buffer on the application server. For this reason, you should, wherever possible, use Open SQL(ABAP SQL) to change database tables declared in the ABAP Dictionary. In particular, tables declared in the ABAP Dictionary that contain long columns with the types LCHR or LRAW should only be addressed using Open SQL, since the columns contain extra, database-specific length information for the column. Native SQL does not take this information into account, and may therefore produce incorrect results. Furthermore, Native SQL does not support automatic client handling. Instead, you must treat client fields like any other.
I think this will be useful for you

I want to extract customer attributes from SAP ECC. i have identified the standard data source 0customer_attr and replicated in SAP BI. I have created infopackage for full update. I validated the extractor checker(RSA3) and found 2 records for 0customer_attr.
When I run the info package, the info package remains in yellow state until it times out. Please let me know in case i am missing anything, Please let me know if there is any other process for master data extraction similar to transaction data extraction.

Hi All,
i did the below and afte clicking execute in the Simple job, it takes me back to the Monitor Infopackage screen.
From your info pack monitor --> menu environment-->job overview--> job in the source system--> prompts for source system(ECC) user id and password, enter them, you will get your job at SM37(ECC), select job and click on log details icon. there you can see details about your error. please share that error screen shot.
Please find the screenshots.

Data extraction from Non-Unicode ECC6 to Unicode SAP BI system

Hi,
We have an existing non-unicode ECC6 system. Currently we are installing SAP BI unicode system. Can anyone tell me are there any issues in data extraction for SAP BI from a non-unicode ECC6 system to an Unicode SAP BI system ?
Please also note that our data consists of Asian (korean, Japanese & Chinese) fonts.
Regards,
Anirban

Hi Des Gallagher,
Thank you for your reply.
I have gone through the notes suggested by you, but they suggest issues related to BW 3.x versions. We are currently on SAP_BW 700 - SP16. Also, among other notes i found note 510882 which might be helpful for custom developments.
But i am still wondering whether we are going to face major issues related to data extraction from non-unicode ECC6 system to unicode SAP_BW 700 system.
Incase you have any further details, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
