Set Infoobjects as Source System dependent

Hi Experts,
How we set Infoobjects as source system dependent. Where can I find the flag or check box to make it Source System dependent
Cheers,
DV

HI,
Simple..
GOTO Infoobject change mode.
click on MASTERDATA /TEXTS TAB
There we have checkbox " Character . is Infoprovider " you select that and give the Info area name and actvate it
Then you can find that in INFOPROVIDER MENU
and SELECT THE INFOAREA WHICH YOU HAVE GIVEN in infoobject.
I hope it will help you.

Virtual Transport Path to move BI source system dependant objects.

Currently, our BI Test system (which contains all Transported Objects from BI Dev) is connected to ECC client 100. We want to change BI connection to different Client i.e ECC 115 (this client contain better test Data). We have removed BI connection from Client 100 and connected to Client 115. But our entire Source System Dependent Objects in BI still point to ECC Client 100. To change these Objects to point to the correct Client 115, we are executing the following steps:
1 Remove Source System ECC Client 100 from BI2
2 Connect New Source System ECC Client 115 to BI2
3 Ensure that New Source System Connection to Client 115 have been set up
4 Create a virtual transport path within BI2 for re-import into BI2 queue for the ? Transport Package
5 Open BI2 to assign user authorization in order to be able to create a transport in BI2
6 Copy Source System dependent rules & create Transport
7 Change the Source System Assignments on the target client
8 In SE09 - check that only the required source system has been copied
9 Move the transport in through the import queue
We are stuck at step 4. Basis team says it is not possible to create a transport path from BI2 system to the Virtual System (in the same BI system) and move it. But I am pretty sure that this can be done as I did this earlier in my previous project. This is something related to Basis so I cant help them.
Do you have any idea, how this can be done?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi
I do not understand few things :
- why did you remove the source system ?
- what do you mean by BI2 ? It is the same QA system as before....So why do you need to create a virtaul path for transport ?
The steps you should have followed is to use BDLS transaction to rename ECC100 to ECC115
The source dependant objects would have been renamed automatically.
By the way, you now can start over from your dev and collect the source system dependant objects
Transport the request in QA, paying attention to change the transcodification table to target ECC115 and not ECC100...
Hope it helps

Source System Dependent BI Objects

When working with Source System Dependent Objects like
1) DataSources (based on source system ABC)
2) InfoPackage (based on source system ABC)
3) DTP (source is datasource that is based on source system ABC)
Question 1)
Once we create the obove objects in DEV system.
If we update the IMG activty in QA (Source system conversion after transport).
and transport the above objects to QA system.
All the above objects should be available with new source system in QA? Is this the right way to do it?
Question 2)
Once we create the obove objects in DEV system.
If we DO NOT update the IMG activty in QA (Source system conversion after transport).
and transport the above objects to QA system.
Some of the above objects are not available with the new source system?
Workaround: Go to RSA1 (Top Menu -> tools --> they are couple of options where we can enter 1) source and target source system info AND 2) do a check, activate and replicate source systems.
After this some more objects are visible but not all? Is there any other way i can complete the conversion?
Question 3) I tried the below in an other landscape
Once we create the obove objects in DEV system.
we DID NOT update the IMG activty in QA (Source system conversion after transport).
and transported the above objects to QA system.
FYI: All objects with source system in QA are available. I am wondering how the source system conversion took place?
Question 4) When we enter source system for DEV and QA in QA system, Do we need to enter even PC file source systems?
Example:
1) ABC in DEV = BCD in QA
2) PC_FILE in DEV = PC_FILE in QA
Thanks for your help.

Below are the following ways to do the mapping in Target System for Sourse System Conversion:
1) rsa1->tools->source system mapping OR
2)rsa1->transport connection->'conversion of log.system'(yellow box with 'x' and 'conversion' icon) OR
3) spro->bus info warehouse->transport settings->change source system name after transport (transaction rslgmp) OR
4)maintain table RSLOGSYSMAP (sm30)
Que1.
Yup
Que2.
if no maintenance done, system will transport as the same source system name. You have to convert everything manually...cumbersome process.
Que4.
Normaly for flat file we use the same name, to avoid any warnings, we just maintain the 'conversion' with the same name

Unable to 'set the default source system' to Install Business Content

Hi,
Maars here. This is my first post hoping that in future ones I'll also be lending a helping hand.
I am trying to 'Install Business Content' under the BUSINESS CONTENT section in txn RSA1. I am doing this after 'Transfer Data Sources' in R/3 and I can now see all the data sources (under the application component hierarchy) for the source system. But I am not able to see the Info Objects in the Business Content.
When I try to set R/3 as the default source system (got this screen after clicking a icon in the standard tool bar), BW is not saving the settings ie., I set the R/3 as the default and then click on OK. If I go back to the same screen again, I find that my settings were NOT saved.
Could you please help me out?
Thank you.

Hi,
It seems to be a bug in version 3.5.
Do like this:
After you open the screen to <i>choose the dafault source system</i>
Clcik on 3rd button(F6) available in the bottom of the scrreen.
And then select teh tick mark for required system.
And then click on Continue button
You have do this step before you drop the cube to right side of the cube.
Ok, even after all these steps , if you reopen the screen you would not see Tick mark u have done just before. DONOT WORRY ABT it.
Drag and drop required cube with dat flow before.
Now you can see the Transfer rules with selected Source system only in the collected Objects.

How to transport source system dependent objects

Hi everybody,
I've read several questions about how to transport source dependent objects between systems and I still don't get whole picture
say I have BWDEV attached to R3DEV and
BWQA attached to R3QA
and I want to transport transfer rules from BWDEV to BWQA
1) should I create, by hand, the source system R3QA in BWQA and replicate its datasources in the first place?
2) or it has to be transported from BWDEV and "some how" converted in BWQA
3) where does the source system name mapping has to be done: in BWDEV, BWQA or in both
4) in order to do the mapping of names in BWQA I need to create the corresponding R3QA, otherwise I don't have the entry under TargSrceSy when executing tc RSLGMP
I really apreciate an step by step process for the above scenario
thanks a lot

Hi Juan,
Let me try to shed some light. Before you can transport dependent objects in the BW side, you have to make sure that the necessary dependencies in the R/3 side have already been transported. For example, if you have a datasource in R/3, you have to transport that from dev to QA first (before you transport anything in BW). Then, in the BW QA box you have to replicate the datasource before you can transport any BW objects in the BW QA. Then before transporting anything to BW QA and after replicating the datasource in the BW QA you have to go to RSA1->Tools Menu->Assignment of Source System to Source System ID menu item and make sure that R3DEV is mapped to R3QA. It is only after all the said checks have been done that you can transport objects in the BWQA.
Here are my answers to your questions:
Q1: This depends on your datasource. Some datasources can be transported. Some can be created in the QA box itself. But in both cases, you have to make sure that DataSource exists in R3QA and then replicate it in the BWQA.
Q2: The conversion follows the setup in "Assignment of Source System to Source System ID" in RSA1.
Q3: The "Assignment of Source System to Source System ID" in RSA1 has to be done in the BWQA.
Q4: Yes, you have to setup the R3QA Source System in the BWQA.
Hope this helps.

Incorrect Unicode setting while activation source system

HI,
I am not able to activate the source system. It gives me error of
"The unicode settings for destination BIQCLNT750 do not match the source system."
Please let me know how to fix it.
Thanks,
Dave.

Check whether you have maintained the proper Unicode settings were selected in SM59 (RFC settings) in both BW as well as in R/3?
If You are dealing with Unicode system (BW and R/3) then make sure that you select the unicode here in SM59 if not then you need to choose the other Radio button.
Once done then save the changes and then try to "restore" the connection again in order to activate the same.
Also check the below note for your issue:
Note 1156948 - Correction: Unicode indicator is incorrect
Hope this helps and solve your issue...

Source system set up for internal / external access

Hi all.
We have an EP 6.0 (NW04 SP16) system delivering BW data from a back-end BW 3.1/3.2 system. We are using BW Report iViews to deliver all reports to external and internal users. I am having a very specific problem when setting up the source system for the BW system.
The BW Report iView object uses the WAS hostname parameter(found under: System Administration -> System Configuration -> Systems -> BWSourceSystem -> Open ->Object -> "Web Application Server (WAS)") when retrieving the back-end BW report.
When this parameter is set using an internal host id (internal_host.company.com) internal users can access the report in question, but external users can't. Alternatively, when this parameter is set using an external host id (ie. the host of our DMZ proxy server) external users can access the report, but internal users can't.
I need to find a way to use one hostname for this parameter that will work for both internal and external users. I have worked with the HTTPURLLOC table and this solution works great for URL iViews, but not for BW Report iViews. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Shashi.
We did find a solution using web dispatcher. We actually installed two instances of web dispatcher... one in our DMZ for external access and another one our corporate LAN. The web dispatchers are configured identically and the EP instance knows only one hostname:
name.company.com
The port passed to the URL https://name.company.com:port is what tells web dispatcher what to do with the request (ie. pass the request to EP, BW, ECC, R/3, etc.).
Be aware that EP allows for only one hostname for Source System Setup - my name.company.com in my example above -(this is the EP Web Application Server hostname (WAS) parameter found under System Admin - System Config - Systems) - so you may need to do something like we did:
register name.company.com on the internet as a public address and use that DNS mapping for external users (using your DMZ version of webdispatcher). Subsequently, use internal DNS or host name mapping to register an internal private addresss for name.company.com (using your LAN version of web dispatcher). this will allow both internal / external users access to the portal and other SAP back-end systems.
It may sound a bit kludgy, but believe me - we tried everything to make this work. I took this all of the way to SAP and this was the recommendation SAP made for allowing both internal and external users access to portal and BW data.
Hope this helps!

Extraction failure and then picked up due to IDOC setting on source system

hi All,
Just give one master data Company Code load as an example. We run the data load every night around 12 though Process Chain. When we checked the monitor, find that it ran twice, 1st time, it ran at 12 which was supposed to run, but it failed with red error and the red error msg is:
"IDocs were found in the ALE inbox for Source System that are not updated. Processing is overdue."
then it ran again at 07:45:55 which was successful with green light. We guess this problem is caused by IDOC setting on the source system. Run WE02 on the source system, expend Inbound IDocs folder and then expend RSRQST folder, find status 64 which indicates the yellow status.
Can anyone explain here why the extraction failed 1st time around 12am due to IDOC setting on the source system, and then the run was picked up around 7am successfully?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kevin,
this is really a strange behaviour. What I could imagine: it could be temporary network issue or performance issue or system unavailability on the r/3 source system side. maybe you could check if other processes/jobs on R/3 were canceled, or if there is any system log available at the time concerned.

Disconnet a Source system from RSA1

Hi!
I changed all the neccessary BW objects from one SAP ECC system to another one in my SAP BW system via tcode BDLS (e.g. EC1CLNT500 --> EC2CLNT500).
Now I would like to delete the old entry of EC1CLNT500 in RSA1 --> source systems.
When I do so I get the following error:
Source system cannot be deleted in Content system
Message no. RSAR670
Diagnosis
If a source system is deleted in the Content system, the shadow tables
for all source system-dependent objects for this source system release are also deleted. You can configure a user as a non-Content user by using a SET-GET parameter. You can then use this user to delete the system, and then the above-named objects are not changed duringdeletion.
System Response
The function is completed.
Procedure
Logon as user ACTIVATE, and repeat your actions.
Can some one tell me how to proceed here?
regards
Jürgen

Hi!
The table RSBASIDOC does not have the entry for new SAP BW system that I would like to disconnect.
Only the value of the old SAP BW system is there...
How to proceed?
Thank you!

2 clients of one ECC as a source system for BW

Hi Gurus,
we are asked by a customer to set up a new BW system, which will have 2 source systems, clients 300 and 400 of the same ECC. One client is ment for support team work and the other for project team. I understand that the dataflow is partly different (e.g transfer rules and datasources are source system dependent), but most of the dataflow (extractors, customer exits in ECC, infosources, update rules, cubes, etc) are the same. I am referring to 3.X dataflow as that is what we have mostly in the system, but we are on BI 7.0 already.
Do you see any advantages/disadvantages of this approach?
There are certainly some rules which have to be kept by such an approach (e.g. changing transfer rules for both source systems). What do you suggest, which rules should be kept? Would you do it differently? How?
Thank you for your valuable inpt,
Michal

Ahoj Michal,
your approach sounds feasible. You are already running BW in similar setup?
Yes you need to check and modify all your specific settings according data split from 2 clients: e.g. routines in InfoSources, Update Rules etc...
If I would do this differently? It depends on what purpose the data has in such a BW.
- Do they really need to analyze data from both clients?
- How the data model is setup? Do you have different data InfoProviders per client?
I would consider this for approach....

Configuring of a new source system in BW

Hi Experts
We have to set up a BW system, which will have 2 source systems( ECC) clients 550 and 590 of the same ECC ( ECC QUALITY). One client is already there and we have to configure another client of source system with the sane BW Client 350. I understand that the dataflow is partly different (e.g transfer rules and datasources are source system dependent). My question are
1.     How we can configure a Source System on BW.
2.     What changes if any I have to make in the existing system (BW)
3.     What will happens to the Existing Data-sources ( Do I have to replicate each and every data-source of the existing ECC clients to New ECC client.)
4.     Do I have to create New transfer and update rule for the new client
Any other point Pl. advice.
Thanks in advance.
Dinesh Sharma

You can more than one source system to onw BW client.
You have to use source system compounding to differentiate between characterstics values if you are loading to the same object. Otherwise you need to use separate characterstics for ex : Yxxxx object for one source system and Zxxxx object for another.
Also the dataload timing should be setup properly. Otherwise it may leads to object locks.

Deletion of source system after an upgrade : consequences ?

Hello,
I'm a sap basis guy.
We have a SAP BI 701 sytem mapped to our 4.7 Non Unicode source system.
I have now perfromed the unicode migration and upgrade to ECC6 of the source system on another server.
It means now, that I have two sourtce systems with exactly the same SID, and logical name.
Sicne the BI connexion in RSA1, is based on the logical system name , I have no ther choice than delete the old
source system, and recreate it with the same logical name but different connexion parameters (hosts, ...) and differentversion (
I have talked with the BI team, but thnigs are quite unclear about the consequences of deleting a source system in RSA :
Do all Transformations/ Transfer Rules between DataSources and targets are deleted ?
Does it mean that they have to be manually recreated after the new source system has been recreated ?
Is there any workaround ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards.

Hello,
If you do not save the source system dependent objects to a transport request before you delete the connection then the objects will be lost , you can avoid this by saving the objects to a transport request and then release the transport before you delete the connection and import it in the new system, the steps in general are below:
RSA1
Transport Connection
Button 'Collection mode' set to 'start manual collection'
Press 'Source system assignment' button (it's the one left of the
'Request BEx' button)
Select the source systems you want to save the transfer rules for
Continue
Button 'Grouping' set to 'Save for system copy'
At the left border click on 'Object Types'
Extend tree 'Source system' LSYS
Double click on 'Select objects'
Select the source systems you want to collect objects for
the source system is now displayed in the right box
Press collecting button ('gather dependent objects')
this may take a while
Right click on the root of the tree and select
Transport all below
Expand the whole tree and check if there isn't an object which is locked
by an other open transport request !!
(the column 'Transport request' has to be empty (BEFORE deleting the corresponding source system
connection!)

Compouding with Source System

Hi Gurus,
I've requirement that, i need to compound an infoobject with Source system.
I've changed the infoobject and compunded with source system, then the system throwing some errors while activation.
The error is: The dependent objects has also been compuded with source system.
My question is: Is there any chance of compuding all the dependent infoobjects at one shot.
For Ex: While im compuding 0country with source system, it is aksing that other objects about 45 more dependent objects has to be compounded with source system.
So, is there any program or function module where i can change all the dependent infoobjects at one shot.
Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance.

Duplicating the existing sourcesystem assignments to a new source-system

Hi all
We have another new sourcesystem (logical system) in our BI system.
This is a copy of the productive erp-sytsem, upgraded to EHP4.
Now we want to test the connectivities and data load procedures.
Is there a possibility to "copy" all the existing datasources/transformations of an existing system
to this new system without using transports?
We already tried using report 'RBDLSMAP' but it seems to overwrite the existing assignments.
Any idea??
Thanks
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
You have to use a transport , to transport the source system dependent objects normally the following procedure is used:
RSA1
Transport Connection
Button 'Collection mode' set to 'start manual collection'
Press 'Source system assignment' button (it's the one left of the
'Request BEx' button)
Select the source systems you want to save the transfer rules for
Continue
Button 'Grouping' set to 'Save for system copy'
At the left border click on 'Object Types'
Extend tree 'Source system' LSYS
Double click on 'Select objects'
Select the source systems you want to collect objects for
the source system is now displayed in the right box
Press collecting button ('gather dependent objects')
this may take a while
Right click on the root of the tree and select
Transport all below
Expand the whole tree and check if there isn't an object which is locked
by an other open transport request !!
(the column 'Transport request' has to be empty (BEFORE deleting the corresponding source system
connection!)
