Source System BW - what is "Customizing for extractors" etc.

Hi,
Can somebody explain IN DETAIL what is the purpose of
1)Customizing for the extractors
2)Transfer Global settings
3)Transfer exchange rates
I could not find any documentation in help.sap.com. Is there any documentation?
thanks a lot

Jay,
1)Customizing for the extractors
This is to modify/control the data transfer settings of the particular source system. It takes you to the SBIW screen (Implementation Guide) directly in the source system. Here you can control your datapacket size, number of datapackets for each IDoc etc. From this screen, you cal also maintain the datasources. All the activities realting to 'maintenance of datasources' can be accessed from here.
2)Transfer Global settings
Global tabls such as Fiscal Period tables, Fiscal variant values are transferred to BW from the R/3 system where they are maintained. Do a lookup on tables T00* in SE11 and you can see a bunch of tables.
3)Transfer exchange rates
Similar to the above tables, different exchange rates are maintained in the R/3 system. These gets transferred to BW. tables such as TCURR, TCURC, TCURV etc. These are called Global settings.
Hope it helps

  • R/3 ECC6.0 connection as a source system to BI 7.0 For IDES system

    Hi Friends,
    I want to create a R/3 source system conenction in IDES
    say Example
    My IDES server For <b>R/3 ECC 6.0 is  XYZ800</b> and client is 800.
    My IDES server For <b>BI 7.0 also XYZ800</b> and client is 800.
    in ECC 6.0 IDES, both BI and R/3 is same server.
    In this case how to establish connection bn R/3 ECC 6.0 & BW(BI7.0)
    is it possible to create a R/3 source system in IDES for this senario,
    then please help me....
    I tried to create sourcesystem for different client(812) but it is not accepted
    and I searched in SDN postings too, but I can't get my answer.
    I have with these Documents already,but still my problem is not solved.
    B84_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc,BL_Quick_Guide_EN_DE,MySAP BW Cookbook Vol 2.
    please help me to solve my problem, sure you can get points.
    Thanks

    Hi prasanna
    In your Case no need to create any Source system.
    I also got same scenarion and i created connection with BI self Connection.
    and i am able to replicate all data Source. in this case R/3 and BW both residing on same client and same server.
    Just create BI self connection.
    then Restore if it is not giving any error then activate that with Datasource.
    Hope it help you.
    thanks

  • I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 Mac with MacOS X 10.4 operating system. What will work for me?

    I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4 operating system. What external drive will for for me?

    Hi,
    Providing that the old 3.5" floppies are 1.44 MB HD disks, you should be able to use a USB floppy drive.
    However, if the disks are 2DD/DSDD in the 800K Mac format a USB drive is not going to work. In this case you would need a suitable semi-old Macintosh computer with a built-in floppy drive as an intermediary.

  • Source System as R/3 production for the BI Development?

    Hai..
    My client asked me to get the data available in production for testing  the loading and the calculations done in BI 7.0. I want to know whether it is possible to get the data from production.
    In my undersatanding the landscape b/w BI and R/3 is
    R/3 Dev  -
    >  BI Dev
    R/3 Qual -
    >  BI Dev
    R/3 Prod -
    > BI Dev
    R/3 Qual -
    >  BI Qual
    R/3 Prod -
    > BI Qual
    R/3 Prod -
    > BI Prod
    Can someone guide me regarding the RFc connection b/w BI 7.0 development and R/3 production.

    You are welcome,
    If your dev or quality server is copy of production try through test in dev or quality .
    Yes, its not impossible to extract data from R/3 production to Bi development server only your RFC connection should be in place.
    Secondly after your testing you need to remove you RFC connection ( R/3 to BW dev) & check you R3 Prod and Bi prod are in place.
    Hope you are testing data through full load, not delta.
    If you are testing delta you have to do all the steps again for init while you extract for prod after testing is done.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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....

  • Finding Source System in Extractors

    Friends,
    I am looking to populate the LOGSYS field in a number of datasources coming from a number of systems.  I realize that it is possible to enhance all the extractors to supply this data from the source system, but I am looking for a method for determining the system on the BW side as the data is processed through the transformation. 
    When I look at the definition of the data source, it occurs to me that the source system assignment should supply the needed information.  This is unique to the data source/system assignment and will also update correctly as the transfer rule is promoted up the landscape. 
    Can anyone give me some advice on how to determine the source system assignment during processing of the inbound data package?
    Regards,
    Kevin

    Hi,
    You can write a routine at the transfer rules level for the logsys.
    Since you have the datasource specific to a particular system and it will bring data from that system only.Just make sure that routine has a hardcoded system name.
    Thanks

  • Can SAP BI (BW) stand alone as a data warehouse for Non-SAP Source Systems.

    I recognize that the answer to this question depends on the version of SAP BW we are discussing. My question is one being posed to determine how SAP BW fits in with the BI world and the other tools available.
    - Can a company implement SAP BI without also having the SAP ERS applications?
    - If so, will SAP BI effectively support 3rd party source systems and what is needed to make it effective (NetWeaver XI, NetWeaver 2004s)?
    Thanks for your expertise.
    Denny

    hi dear,
    clearly the most valuable input given by BW is a native integration with all SAP world...
    well, you can manage a BW without having a SAP ERP as source system:

  • Steps for creating new source system

    Hi guys
    We are on BI 7 and ECC 6 now...We are planning to get the data from other source systems (R/3 4.6)which are existed in different place.
    Now my question is what are the steps to get the data from this new Source system and whats BI developer role for this...
    Example: Inorder to establish the connection between BI and R/3 we need an RFC connection (Is this done by BASIS / BI )? If its BI , then what do I need to ask for ?
    afterthat what are all the questions or points that I need to raise to the folks in the meeting...
    Please advice
    regards

    Hi
    refer to this link below
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ac/4a4e38493e4774e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
    Exactly this will be taken up by BASIS team so that at any time if we have any issues with RFCs like RFC connection failure we will not get any data to our targets.
    Then we have to raise ticket to basis stating this failure

  • What 's result of deleting a source system?

    what happed if I delete source system?
    What's the difference between spurce system

    Hi Shen Peng
    I believe you trying to delete the current R/3 source system and trying for SAP BI my self source system right?
    If yes
    We can very well dete the source system
    The impact would be in th efollowing ways
    -- You will loose entire datasources,transfer rules and PSA related to that particular source system and it will be Major impcat on you Bi system which is not at all preferable untill unless you are really no more use of the R/3 source system and its configured with any of the bi pass clients.
    Coming to BI Myself souce system : Which is purely realted to the DATA MART Loadings and its also a similar like R/3 source system connection you have to give ALEREMOTE passwords and serve ips.
    Hope its help you...!

  • Multiple R/3 Source systems for BW(3.5)

    Hi,
       A BW system being linked with multiple R/3 source systems , is a very common scenario. But could someone please help me out with a strategy doc / how -to etc. on the best possible way to install business content for multiple R/3 sources .
    thanks

    Hi Shurobhi,
    This is a common scenario. there is not much difference between single source system and multiple source systems.
    If you have data coming from 3 source systems you dont need to create 3 cubes and update seperately. you can update 3 source systems data into one single cube. For Example: FI AP Line Item data : You have source systems 1 2 and 3. you can use standard business content ODS  and Cube to update FI AP data. Here first, init for source system 1 followed by delta for source system 1, then init for source system 2 followed by delta 2, finally init for 3 followed by delta 3. From here on you can load data to info cube in the above layer.
    Thanks

  • Change Source System client for BI datasources

    Friends,
    We have created/migrated datasources in QA system using existing SAP Source System, for example,  ECC Client 320. Now we want to change the SAP Source System to the different client, for example, ECC Client 330. 
    All datasources are already created when connected to old Source System (ECC Client 320). The new requirement is to  extract the data from new client, from ECC Client 330. We like to change this seamlessly without impacting the data loads, full as well as delta.
    Any ideas as to how to accomplish this please?
    Regards,
    Upender Kadire

    Hi,
    The client mentioned while creating source system in BW is to be changed.
    Go to the RFC Destination created for R/3 system in BW and change the client.
    Now regarding the delta, the delta has to work fine, as BW system is Client independent. It looks for the Source and bring data.The delta queue is maintained in R/3.if you change the client, the delta will be picked from the new client.

  • R3 to BW Extraction fails: Non-updated Idocs found in Source System

    We load data from R3 to BW and this process has been successful for the past few days except last night.  The error msg is listed below in between two dashed lines:
    Non-updated Idocs found in Source System
    Diagnosis
    IDocs were found in the ALE inbox for Source System that are not updated.
    Processing is overdue.
    Error correction:
    Attempt to process the IDocs manually. You can process the IDocs manually using the Wizard or by selecting the IDocs with incorrect status and processing them manually.
    I checked the system connection by right click the source system in the Source System page on BW and selecting "Check" and "Customizing for Extractors" from the context menu and find everything works fine.  
    Any idea about the IDOC thing?
    Thanks

    hi Subray/Bhanu,
    With WE05, find some records with yellow status.  How to find some missing data here?
    With BD87, under BW system folder, there are two folders:
    1. IDocs in outbound processing
    2. IDoc in inbound processing
    Under 1st folder, there is one yellow status folder called "IDoc ready for dispatch (ALE service)", continue to expand another folder called CREMAS under it, there is a blue information line which is "Receiver found , Data filtered , No conversion , No version change".
    Under 2nd folder, there is one yellow status folder called "IDoc ready to be transferred to application", continue to expand other two folder under it called "BBPIV" and "RSRQST", find there is a red flash status line which is "No resources, immed. processing not possible: Too few free dialog work" under these two folders.
    I need to go ahead to select these two red flash status lines and then press the Process button at the top bar?
    Thanks

  • Difference between Customer Generated Extractors and Generic Extractors

    Hi all,
            Can anyone please tell me the difference between Customer Generated Extractors and Generic Extractors.  I know that for all modules Generic extraction is possible by creating a datasource(RSO2) on top of a table, View or SAP Query in SE11.  What are customer generated extractors like LIS, CO/PA and FI/SL. 
    What kind of extraction is used for FI/AR and FI/AP.  To my understanding we have BW Content Extractors.  Can anyone explain the extraction method and delta extraction for AR and AP.
    Thanks,
    Sabrina.

    Hi,
    Customer generated extractors are running on top of statistics data collection process in R/3. They extract data from statistical tables already available in R/3 and also use the mechanism already provided in R/3 to capture the delta.
    For example, PO data goes to statistical table S012 (it is an LIS table) and you can build a generated extractor on top of it. The difference between such extractor and a generic one is the fact that these extractors (eg LIS) use the same mechanism of capturing delta that the statistics table was doing (for example data that goes into S012 is also captured by these generated extractors). Some system tables and structures are generated automatically to support this functionality, you do not have to develop anything for this.
    Generic extractors on the other hand simply let you pull data from table/view/query etc. You have to develop code/functionality to support delta capturing for such extractors. If you built a generic extractor on top of S012 (it is a statistical table - LIS), you can pull its data to BW, but you do not have the delta capturing functionality in such case, you will have to code it yourself.
    As a thumb rule, you go with the standard/generated extractors, and use generic extractors only if it is necessary to be so.
    FI/AR and FI/AP extractors are part of business content (I think) and support delta functionality. To get detailed info on these, you can also look at help documentation -

  • What is customizing transport?

    what is customizing transport
    Title was edited by:
            Alvaro Tejada Galindo

    To guarantee the consistency of Customizing entries in the source system and in the target system, special processing is required for transportable objects.
    When processing in the source system, special entries are made for the transport in addition to the normal versions. These transport versions only contain the changed status for the object, similar to pending processing.
    When transporting to the target system, only these specific transport entries are taken into account. In the target system, the changes are inserted into Customizing objects in the same way as when you release a pending object.
