Source System and RFC cnx

Hi Friends!
We have BI connected to ECC and working ok.
Now, the business will create a new instance in ECC, in the same server.
We only need use the second (newest) instance, but we dont want create e new source system.
We are thinking about change the RFC cnx of the source system, and put this pointed to the new instance.
With this solution, we hope that not changes must be take place in BI.
a) is this a good solution? any experience on this?
b) the RFC cnx, can identify each of this ECC instance, if both of them are in the same server?
c) doed I need any aditional change in BI?
Thanks a lot for your suggest!

This will work in case you will set up a new instance of ECC with same logical name, same RFC connection as 1st ECC instance has. Basically all the basis settings should be same.
Also consider that you have to switch off 1st ECC instance before connecting other ECC to your BW with same RFC connection etc...

Extraction failing after source system and client copy

Hi all,
We refreshed our source QA system with a copy of production. And basically tried to "restore" the connection from our BW QA system. Some of the datasources can be extracted from BW, others fail with an error of "No transfer structure is available for InfoSource 0COSTCENTER_ATTR in the source system".
Trying to do the same thing with RSA3 in the source system, works fine.
The strange thing is it works for some objects but not others.
here's what we did:
1. System copy from R3 Prod to R3 QA
2. Client copy with R3 QA client 300 -> 200
3. Restore connectivity in BW QA to the R3 QA system (Using RSA1 -> Source System -> Restore)
4. Now some objects can be extracted in BW, others fail as I mentioned above.
I have regenerated the transfer structures in BW and R3.
All of these objects that don't work seem to work in RSA3 on the R3 system but not in RSA1 on BW.
All the SAP documentation is geared to copying the R3 source system and then restoring connectivity between BW and R3. I don't think any of it involves copying the client in the R3 source system - which might be causing our problems.
We are using an SAP delivered PDF and note 886102 mainly for direction.
SAP PDF is "How to... System Copy in SAP Business Intelligence System Landscapes".
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
can you isolate somehow the kind of DataSource which works and those who don't?
Master data / transactional or client dependent and not, delta or full....
To which R/3 client is your BW connected? when you succeed loading the data, is it coming from the right client?
RSA3: do you run it specifying your BW client in the target sys field? does it make a difference if yes or if not?
Are your RFC connections and partner profiles all right?
Check some IDOCs sent by BW received in R/3 and vice-versa (RSSEND, RSINFO, RSRQST..). Load a hierarchy (via IDOC)... verify that your IDOC have the correct partner settings....
let us know
Olivier.

How to Create an R/3 source system and load data from there

Hello All,
Till now I have only worked with Flat files. I want to create an R/3 source system and extract data from there on to my Info Providers.
Does anyone has detailed steps for that. I am using BW 3.5 system
Thanks n Regards,
Abhishek

1. Type Transaction WE30. Check iDoc types
2. Type Transaction SM59. Maintain RFC destinations
a.) Open the RFC Destinations. b.) Find your Source System and double click on it. c.) Technical setting should contain information regarding yoursource system d.) Logon Information should contain source system client and name & password for you remote logon. We use RFC_SAB for BW logon to R/3 and RFC_AAE for R/3 logon to BW. Password for both is always xxxxxxx. e.) Execute your 'Test Connection' & 'Remote Logon'. You should NOT be prompted for a password, if you are then the logon info is incorrect. f.) Repeat above to verify RFCs for other systems (CRM etc)
3. Type Transaction WE21. iDoc Processing Ports.
a.) Select 'Ports' and then 'Transactional RFC'. b.) Click on the Port # for you source system. c.) Verify description & SAP R/3 version.(BW 2.1C should be release 4.x) d.) RFC Destination should be one created in SM59. If non-existent then create one
4. Type Transaction SE16. Data browser (for R/3  BW Connections)
5. Type Transaction SM30. Msg Types & Assignment to iDocs
Enter 'EDIMSG' in the Table/View field. Click on the 'Enter Conditions' option for Restrict Data Range. Click 'Maintain'. Select Message Type. Then enter 'RSSEND' in "From' field. Verify that the Basic Type matches what is in your RSBASIDOCtable for each of your connections. If any are missing any entries you must create them as follows: Create another session and type Transaction WE30. Enter IDoc Type (ZSBAXXX) in Obj. Name field (Suggestion: Start new type with 'ZS' + Transfer Structure Prefix + (3)#'s) Select Create. Select "Create from Copy'. Enter 'RSSEND" in 'Copy From' field Enter Description (i.e. IDoc Type for BW Development) Execute (Green Check). Repeat for other missingentries.
6. Go to the SM30 main screen. Clients Overview
Enter 'T000' in the Table/View field. Click 'Maintain'. Verify correct Client and Description. If incorrect enter.
8. On BW Type Transaction WE20. Partner Profiles
9. On R/3 Type Transaction WE20. Partner Profiles
10. Check all is correct

Logical system and rfc destination

hello all,
what is the difference between logical system and RFC destination?
thanks for ur help in advance.
regards,
vikas

Hi,
In any ALE scenario u need one sender and one receiver system.
Logical systems are just logical representation of these systems but in case of RFC destination u specify technical parameters for those systems like IP address and username and password to connect to that system.
Thus when u create port i.e.we21 u specify actual RFC destination for the system to which u want to connect and when u create partner profile for that logical system u specify this port so when u want to send data to this logical system i.e receiver system port will be used which in turn has RFC destination which will be used to connect to that system.
In simple terms logical systems are logical representation of any system and RFC destinations are physical/techinical systems.
Regards

Logical system and rfc destination related Query?

Hi Dudes
Do we need to define logical system and RFC destination if they are in different clients in same server
Regards
Raj Kumar

Hi
Both are client independent setting, so even if you define in one client, it would be available in other clients also.

What is source system and open hub destination?

Hello,
Kindly tell me In BI data modeling workbench ,in modeling there is are two areas name as "Source system" and "Open Hub destination".What is mean by this???How we use it in BI?

Hi,
Source system as the name suggests mentions the source of data. The place from where you are extractin data to BW.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7a/27bcf087c7464db8b95eaa717b6e6a/content.htm
OpenHub is for exporting data out of BW.

How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI

Hi,
I just read "How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI". While I'm waiting for more authorisation to r/3 to carry it out and test this functionality.
I'd like to ask a question to anyone who has implemented this type solution. On page 10 it talks about creating a view then setting up the datasource. The solution talks about runnig a query. I suspect when we run a query I would run it for only a period(using variable) to reconcile.
My question is this. Will the datasource extractor on /r3 only select the period in our variable or will it do a full selection of the data which would then be passed to BW for filtering?
Regards

DEar Mark,
There are several avenues where you can see and reconcile your data with source system, u can see data in by tcode RSA3 for a datasource, and compare the values with actual document posted into the R/3 system. Respective fuctional consultant canhelp you a lot to confirm the data.
On BW side u can see the data in PSA and then check tranformations which subsequent change/update/reject data records based on the selective conditions.
hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it works.
Revert back if u need futher help/information.

Different number of data records in source system and BI system

Hi all,
I have been using datasources 0HR_PA_0 and 0HR_PA_1.
When I run and check the records in source system via RSA3 there are 4893 and 360 records respectively.
When I extract the records into my 0PA_C01 cube, however, 3058 and 249 records are coming respectively.
Furthermore, when I create a personnel record in source system, it is not extracted into BI cube.
What may be the reason?
I am looking forward to your suggestions.
Regards,
Dilek

Srinath,
I've created many new personnel records in source system and these records are displayed in the list of RSA3.
However, these newly created records are not reflected in BI cube when I extract data via the specified datasources.
I've checked whether there are some filters defined, however no filter seems to exist.
By the way, I am using full upload; no delta!
Regards,
Dilek

Cloning use the different gcc version between source system and target sys

Hi All,
Our system is: Application tier and Database tier is split to two servers.
We should run a cloning, but I found the different gcc version on application tier on source system and target system.
The source application tier server is RedHat Linux ES3, gcc version is 3.2.3
The target application tier server is RedHat Linux ES3, gcc version is 2.9.6
There is the same gcc version on database tier on source system and target system, they are gcc 2.9.6.
My question: Can I use the different gcc version between source system and target system when I run an erp cloning?
Thanks & Regards
Owen

Not necessarily, you might get some errors if the version is higher and it is not supported by the OS. An example is Note: 392311.1 - usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.5/libgcc_s.so: undefined reference to 'dl_iterate_phdr@GLIBC_2.2.4'
To be on the safe side, make sure you have the same version (unless you want to give it a try).

How to create UD Connect Source system and datasources.

I am currently working on BI 7.0 and I need to report on Standard Queries on xPD (Extended Applications Product Defination)
In the BI Cont library it states the data for this application is fetched using UDI rather than Table Extraction. Can anybody please help me with documentation on Steps for creating a UD connect Source system and UD Datasources and how I should proceed.

Connection between Source Systems and BW

Hello,
I´m trying to connect our SAP BI 7.0 system to SAP R/3.
At the following link, the topics for connecting BW with SAP source systems aren´t mentioned in detail:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dm40/helpdata/en/00/dc54384ac9a81be10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
I already have setup and tested the RFC-connections, so I primarly need a step by step description for the ALE settings (Partner profiles,Port, IDoc types,IDoc segments) in the
context of BW-SAP R/3 connectivity.
Thank you for your postings
Best regards
Mehmet

Hi Srini,
Thank you for you´re answer.
I have checked WE20 and W21. The ports and the partner profiles are created automaticly in BW and R/3 sides, when creating the new source system in RSA1.
The main problem is, that the R/3 can´t send data to BW, although the ALE and RFC configurations are setup properly. After I replicated and activated several data sources in BW succesfully, I´m requesting data from the R/3 system with an infopackage, but after a few hours the follwing failure message occurs in the monitor :
Errors while sending packages from OLTP to BI
Diagnosis
No IDocs could be sent to BI using RFC.
System Response
There are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of BI.
Further analysis:
Check the TRFC log.
You can access this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".
Error handling:
If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is fully connected to BI. In particular, check the authorizations of the background user in the source system.
In the TRFC (SM58) log in R/3 there appears an status text with the following entry:
"No service for system SAPABC client 123 in the integration directory".
For this entry I have found the SAPnote 940313. In this note,there is described how to send Idocs over Integration Server. Now I think that our R/3 system tries to send Idocs over the Integration server too.
But is there another alternative to send Idocs from R/3 to BW without using the Integration server?
Best regards
Mehmet

Source system error - RFC connection failed

Hi Gurus,
I have installed ECC6 on my PC but not when i am trying to created the DS its not allowing me its saying appl comp hierarchy for source susyem "T90*" doesnt not exist.
so tried going to source system -> done a check for my source system then i got the following errors
Source system "T90*" is inactive
Entry in outbound table not found
Entry in inbound table not found
Basic type does not exist
Check failed for RFC connection T90CLNT090 ; check destination
can any one tell me how to fix this issue?

Hi Ravi,
Did you run appication component hierarchy in source system(TX-RSA9)
then activate your data source
then replicate in BW system.
Check here for BW connectivity with source system.

Net value in source system and BW differ

Hi Gurus,
Some times like ' net value in source system is not matching with the net value in BIor BW for example net value of a product' why this happens even though the requests are loaded with out any issues , I mean If any loading errors occur we'll solve them and load the requests right. somebody help me out
Shiva

Shiv,
Use ODS in the dataflow, which will update the figure and no add. Perhaps i think u have loaded data directly to the Cube so that figures are getting added. This happens in cases like partial delivery where only part of total material(e.g 3 qty get despached out of total 10 qty) are despatched.
Regards.

Find distribution model in source system and maintain filter in it

I have an inbound idoc which is in status 51(error). The procedure shown by SAP is following:-
It has been determined that the particular employee 11001189 has been received for the first time.
Maintain the filter of the appropriate distribution model. To do this, call transaction BD64 in the source system.
Add new filter group to the data filter. Assign values to it.
I cannot find the distribution model. Please somebody help me in finding the relevant distribution model in the source system. One more thing, when I went to BD64 I found that some of the model views were in grey shade while others were in bold, please tell me why is it so.
Please give me some hint.

You never maintain Filters in receivin system those has to me in sender system. Also you
need to distribute the Model from sender to receiver once you model is finalized thru menu
option in sender system. Find the Models with HRMD_A as message type
One more thing, when I went to BD64 I found that some of the model views were in grey shade
while others were in bold, please tell me why is it so
simple, If its greyed out then this model is maintained in some other system and is
just distrinuted over to this system, you shuld not maintain the greyed out entries as Maintaince
system is different. The non grey entires are those for which its same system in which the model
is created
