SAP HR segregation of data

Hi all,
We have a customer with a SAP HR system with many thousands of employees.
Part of the business has been split into two different companies.
Their goal is that each user can manage (create, modify, display) data (mainly PA) of his own company.
Supposing that the company concept is related to personal area field of infotype 001, we can manage it through P_ORGIN authorizations for standard transactions (PA30, PA20, ...).
This it not true for SE16, SM30 transactions since they go directly to the database tables.
A partial solution could be using the S_TABU_LIN for table P0001 (for infotype 0001) but it will not works fr other infotypes tables.
Any suggestions for SE16 and SM30 limitaions?
Thanks in advance.
Andrea

It is not recommended to work with S_TABU_LIN and direct table access, although it is common in HR departments. I had to once and they worked out a logic based on the ranges for personnel numbers. That is the only approach you could to do line based authorization on HR tables. However this is not really straight forward.
I would recommend you to work with a logical database and sap ad-hoc queries. You would have to rethink all tables access and get rid of it.
You can assign query authorizations without the critical S_QUERY auth. via binding it to a role. (have to search for a link, but this works). Authorizations will then be checked via P_ORGIN and the other auth. objects. This should be ok for an auditor...

Extracting Data from SAP ERP using BODI/Data Services 4.0

HI,
I am trying to extract data from SAP ERP via SAP extractors using BODI/Data Services 4.0.
I do not have my own ERP system so I am renting remote access from one of the many available on the internet.
I am able to connect BODI to the ERP system and import the extractors metadata.
The problem I am experiencing is that when I run job to extract the data I get the following error:
Vendor-supplied function module <Z_AW_RFC_READ_EXTRACTOR> not found. Ensure that you can execute the function module in SAP via transaction /nSE37.
How do I create the function? Or is the function a SAP standard function?
SAP ERP system being used is: ECC6 EHP4
User has SAP FULL and DEVELOPER authorizations.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

UME using SAP R/3 as Data Source

Hi,
We are trying to set User authentication to SAP R/3 system, not load balanced system, on the User Management Configuration values: Client=501, Userid=sapjsf, Password=pwd, sys id=RS1, Group and Message server= blank, Application server= server.company.com, Sys. number=00, Max pool=10, Max wait=300000.
When testing connection, I get this message:
(System ID): com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (101) RFC_ERROR_PROGRAM: 'mshost' missing
(System ID & System Number): OK
Is this an error? since our SAP R/3 is not a load balanced system.
Did we miss any item for the setup, in dataSourceConfiguration_r3.xml? The SAPJSF "communication user" got the right sap role and authorizations.
Portal version : EP6 SR1

SAP R/3 TO DATA BASE?

My scenario is to send the data from SAP R/3 TO oracle data base which updates the data\chages in oracle data base?
Explain me this scenario?
Thank you

Hi,
When you need to load information into an SAP R/3 system from a legacy system, a set of tools that falls into the Data Transfer catagory are used. Between 3.1H and 4.6C there were major changes in this area of SAP. The old Data Transfer Workbench can be used, or you can combine the new tools with programs that you write to effectively manage a data transfer project. SAP offers The Data Transfer Guidebook www.saplabs.com/dx to help guide users through the process.
Moreover, the new functions use BAPI interfaces and reduce the time and cost of mass data transfer . The
DXWB also integrates batch input and direct input based on the business object's
load programs. The DXWB is a one-stop-shop for all data transfers and contains
the Data Mapping and Conversion (DMC) tool and integrates with the Legacy
System Migration Workbench data mappings.
The DXWB provides central functions to facilitate required DX tasks:
. Organize DX-related work (project organization)
. Access to DX-related documentation on specific topic
. Understand the SAP target structures
. Edit data file for test purposes
. Map legacy structures to SAP target structure by using DMC
. Run the required ABAP-based DX programs
. Log technical and application errors
. Correct erroneous records before reprocessing

SAP R/3 as data source for Essbase

Hi everyone,
We need to extract data from a SAP R/3 data source (Is SAP R/3 the same as SAP BW?).. Can we directly connect to it then load data to Essbase?
I've read that we need Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic Integration Connector for SAP BW to get data from SAP BW. Is it easy to implement?
Hope someone could help me. Thanks in advance.
Sam

Hi everyone,
I've read that Essbase can connect directly to SAP R/3 through the SAP Plug-in in the Administration Services. We just need to configure the connection to it properly.
Here's my question, since we are suppose to enable the SAP plug-in DURING the "custom" installation of Admin Services, how do we then enable it since our application is already in use? Installation & configuration of admin services has long been done. Is there a way to go back to enable the SAP plug-in so we can connect to SAP R/3? If not, are there other ways to do it?
Hope somebody could help me. Thanks a lot.
Sam

SAP R3 Connection in Data Services - Configuration is

Dear all,
We are having an error when going through the steps in the configuration of BusinessObjects Data Services 3.2 with R3. The error is in the SAP R3 server.
Herewith the steps in regular font (based on the SAP BusinessObjects guide) and our output results in bold. If you can take a look on it, it will be great for us.
To install provided functions using the CTS system:
1.     Copy the provided transport files to the appropriate directories on the SAP server.
Installing Functions on the SAP Server Installing the functions using CTS
Note:
In these steps, 900XXX.SXX is a variable. To substitute the correct file name for the current release, see the readme.txt file in the ...\DataServices\admin\R3_Functions\transport directory.
-     Copy R900XXX.SXX to the /usr/sap/trans/data directory.
-     Copy K900XXX.SXX to the /usr/sap/trans/cofiles directory.
As we have R3 connection we have moved the R63 file. Complete name of the files are:
-     R900086.R63
-     K900086.R63
2.     Log on to the SAP server and run the transaction /nSE37 to determine if function group ZAW0 already exists. The CTS system will install the Data Services functions into a single function group ZAW0 that it automatically creates on the SAP server if it does not already exist.
-     If function group ZAW0 exists and contains previously installed Data Services functions, add an unconditional mode 2 option (parameter U2) to the tp import command described in step 4 below (tpimport S<xx>K900<xxx> <SID> U2).
-     If function group ZAW0 exists and is used for another purpose, modify the transport file to use a different function group (such as ZAW1) to install the Data Services functions. Make sure the function group you use does not already exist in your system.
-     If you are installing the transport files on a Unicode-enabled SAP server, manually create the function group ZAW0 with the Unicode attribute set.
In our case we have found there is already a ZAW0 created -> nothing to do in this step
3.     From a command window, run the following transport command:
-     tp addtobuffer S<xx>K900<xxx> <SID>
(where SID is the SAP system ID)
You receive the response:
This is tp version <SAP TP and SAP versions> for <database type> database.
Addtobuffer successful for S<xx>K900<xxx> tp finished with a return code: 0 meaning:
Everything OK
This is the command we have run and the error retrieve
The SID is NDV.
C:\tp addtobuffer R63k900086 NDV
This is tp version 372.04.57 (release 700, unicode enabled)
E-TPSETTINGS could not be opened.
EXIT
Error in TPSETTINGS: transdir not set.
tp returncode summary:
TOOLS: Highest return code of single steps was: 0
ERRORS: Highest tp internal error was: 0208
tp finished with return code: 208
meaning:
error in transportprofil (param missing, unknown, ....)
We have modified the statement with different names for the R63 file, but we didnu2019t success. We are retrieving same error.
We also have applied the command in the following link:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/etpsettings-could-not-be-opened-875506
and retrieve another error. The following step would be doing the u201CSAPEVTPATHu201D downloading, but, we are not sure if this would fix the issue or if the issue is related to something else.
4.     Run the next transport command:
tp import S<xx>K900<xxx> <SID>
(where SID is the SAP System ID)
We couldnu2019t reach this point, as we are having an error in the command below.
Thanks for your help on this!

There is a problem in the transport file supplied with BODS installation folder. Pls refer to the SAP Note :
1616269 - Problems when installing Data Services 4.0 SAP transport files (900155.R63)
We have used the new transport files but we are still getting the below warnings in the log files and it returned with return code 4 :
Maximum length ("255") for "CHAR" in transparent tables exceeded
The SAP Note 1446648 - Warning Messages installing SAP R3 transports for Data Services sayou can ignore those warnings but we are still not able to see the ZAW0 Function group in SE37.
Let me know if you are able to do it successfully.

SAP HANA as a data source for Analysis Services

I tried to use SAP's .net provider for HANA as a data source for an Analysis Services cube but to no avail.   I can connect, create a named query and preview data from the data source view designer but when SSAS actually tries to run the query,
it wraps the named query in another query and produces a syntax error.
For example, if the named query is "select * from ENTHANA.MARA",
SSAS sends a query like this "SELECT [test].* FROM (select * from ENTHANA.MARA) AS [test]" (Test is the name of the named query).
I know SSAS wraps queries and that's fine - except that brackets are not a valid way to quote an identifier in HANA. HANA uses double quotes like Oracle.
Is there any setting in SSAS that can affect this behavior?   Will HANA ever be a fully supported data source for SSAS? If so, when?

Hi David,
According to your description, you are creating a SQL Server Analysis Services project, now what you want is using SAP HANA as the data source, right?
SSAS support many type of data source. However, as you can see on the link below, SAP HANA data source was not listed on that link. So this type of data source is not supported in current version of SSAS. Microsoft will update that document when it is supported.

Thank you for your understanding.

SAP Best Practices for Data Migration :repositories only on MS SQL Server ?

Hi,
I'm implementing the "SAP Best Practices for Data Migration" (see https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bp-datamigration).
As part of the installation you have to install MS SQL Server Express Edition. The installation guide contains detailed steps to do this. All repositories for Data Services should be running on SQL Server, according to the installation guide.
The customer I'm working for now does not want to use SQL Server, but DB2, as company standard.
So I use DB2 for the local and profiler repositories.
I notice however that the web application http://localhost:8080/MigrationServices does not support DB2.The only database type you can select in the configuration area is MS SQL Server.
Is this a limitation, a by design ?

Hans,
The current release of SAP Best Practices for Data Migration, v1.32, supports only MS SQL Server. The intent when developing the DM content was to quickly set up a temporary, standardized data migration environment, using tools that are available to everyone. SQL Server Express was chosen to host the repositories, because it is easy to set up and can be downloaded for free. Sone users have successfully deployed the content on Oracle XE, but as you have found, the MigrationServices web application works only with SQL Server.
The next release, including the web app, will support SQL Server and Oracle, but not DB2.

Use of SAP memory to transfer data between two different sessions.

Hello experts,
I wish to know how to use SAP memory to transfer data between two different sessions.
The scenario is that when I run a report and change a variable, the value of changed variable should be availabe to another user on another terminal.
Thanks & Regards!
Sumit

Hello,
Just to add what Max has already mentioned. IMPORT TO / EXPORT FROM DATABASE statements can be used to store data in special "cluster" tables (you can't use any DDIC table) e.g., INDX.
@OP: You can opt for Shared Memory(SHM) for this specific requirement as well. In my opinion SHM is a bit tricky to code, but it is easier to monitor. The opposite holds true for "data clusters".
You should remember SHM is app-server specific. So if you've a load balancing scenario, using SHM can cause problems.
Hope i'm clear.
