Upgrade project : from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 by using SAP Data Services

Hi All,
My client is upgrading from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0
We are planning to use SAP Data Services(Data Integrator) in the upgrade plan from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 for Data Migration.
we have no idea whether we can use this SAP Data Services(Data Integrator) in SAP upgrade data migration.
The bottom line is we have to make use this Data Services (Data Integrator) product in our upgrade plan for Data Migration.
Please tell us if anybody already used it such kind of scenario in a data migration project with Data Services(Data Integrator).
If we can use Data Service(Data Integrator) what are the pros and cons in using this Data Services(Data Integrator).
Thank You,
Ashok

My opinion is you would want to utilize SAP tools to port the data - our SAP BASIS administrator is out this week but we can provide exact tool names when he returns. ELM (External List Management), IDOC are some of the tools.
You could use DS/DI to export, cleanse, deduplicate the records prior to importing with SAP tools if that is your end goal.
We also offer a data quality tool that extends DS/DI to cleanse/deduplicate name/address records as they are entered into the system. It also comes with batch tools to cleanse/dedup the entire systems name/address information. See Data Quality Management for SAP for further details.

Business Objects universe Create disabled In SAP Data Services

Hi ,
I am trying to to create Business Objects Universe from SAP Data Services . But create and update options are disabled. I have the Information design tool and SAP Data services on the same machine .
Please see the below screenshot.
Please help me any settings I have to change to get enabled.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana.

Hello Venkata Ramana Pandi,
As Manoj Dhyani mention in the above thread, try changing it into CWM format and give it a try.
Follow the below steps:
Export the DS datastore in CWM format, select the datastore and enter a XML file name
Open the Universe Builder (this option will be in BOE Program menu), you have a option in Universe Builder to import XML exported from Data Services/Data Integrator, check if that creates your Universe successfully
to use Metadata Exchange do the following
Open Data Services Desginer
Click on tools Menu -> Metadata Exchange
In the Metadata Exchange window
Select Export Data Services metadata to a file
Select DI CWM as metadata format
enter location for xml file (C:\temp)
Select the datastore you want to create Universe for
Click OK
Check for file named repo_export.xml in the C:\temp folder or the folder that you specified
Open Universe Builder and Select
Data Integrator bridge
and use the xml file as input to create universe

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.

How to generate Top sales report from SAP data ?

Hello experts,
I am completely a newbie to SAP BO , can any one guide me how to generate TOP sales of the year report from SAP data ?

Hi David,
First Let me know the Source & Tools to involve.
Let me go with the generic approach:
If the source is BW, then you can create the logic in query designer designer and then you can incorporate the data into the dashboard or webi or crystal report whatever its.
If the source is sql or anyother DB then it can also be achievable in crystal or webi to write the logic in top 10 values by ranking then you can incorporate the data into the dashboard, but here you can limit the top or bottom values.
Hope this helps, please revert for more clarifications on this.

Populate ComboBox from database - NOT using Flex Data Services

Hi there,
We are using CF with Flex but are not using the Flex Data
Service. I'm very much a newb and I'm having trouble finding any
information on how to populate controles from a database without
using Flex Data Service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First I have a page... JobSearch.mxml that contains a combo
box that I want to populate with the job_id and job_title from a
MSSQL database.
In Flex in the RDS DataView I used the "Create CFC" Wizard
which generated "job.cfc" and "jobGateway.cfc". It also generated
"job.as".
The CF Function that selects the data appears to be defaulted
and called "load" and the .as function is called simply "job".
So, that all looks great. But I can't find any information on
what I need to have on my JobSearch.mxml to actually get this data
into the comboBox.
I did:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var jobData:job = null;
]]>
</mx:Script>
And then:
<mx:ComboBox
text="{jobData.job_title}"></mx:ComboBox>
But I'm being told "Type was not found or was not a
complie-time constant: job"
I guess I'm missing something, or doing something way
wrong... I just don't know enough of Flex at this point to know
what it is.
Thanks!

Using php or asp is not an option, as we are a Cold Fusion
House.
I was looking at an article on Ben Forta's blog (
http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=e&entry=1786)
and following his example I did this... only it doesn't work:
I'm very very new to Flash and we are using ColdFusion but
are not using Flex Data Services. I've been trying to figure out
how to populate a combobox from a database and I'm just not having
any luck.
My project is called "PreTraffic". I have my main file as
"JobSearch.mxml" and a folder under the root named "cfc" with a
file called "job.cfc".
job.cfc contains the following code:
<cfcomponent>

<cffunction name="GetJob" access="remote"
returntype="query" output="false">
<cfset var job="">
<cfset var results="">
<cfquery datasource="discsdev" name="job">
SELECT job_id, job_title
FROM job
WHERE status = 'O'
ORDER BY job_title
</cfquery>
<cfquery dbtype="query" name="results">
SELECT job_title AS label, job_id AS data
FROM job
ORDER BY label
</cfquery>
<cfreturn results>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
And JobSearch.mxml has the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns="*"
layout="absolute"
backgroundGradientColors="[#ffffff, #d0d0d0]"
creationComplete="InitApp()">
<mx:Style source="style.css" />
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function InitApp():void {
jobSvc.GetJob();
]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:RemoteObject id="jobSvc" destination="PreTraffic"
showBusyCursor="true" />
<mx:VBox label="Job History" width="100%" height="100%"
x="10" y="92">
<mx:Label text="Search jobs by"/>
<mx:Form label="Task" width="100%">
<mx:FormItem label="Job Name:">
<mx:ComboBox id="jobNameCB"
dataProvider="{jobSvc.GetJob.results}"></mx:ComboBox>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Button label="Search"/>
<mx:Button label="Clear"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>
My Compiler thingy points to:
-services
"/Volumes/flexwwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/job-services-config.xml" -locale
en_US
and job-services-config.xml contains the following code:
<destination id="PreTraffic">
<channels>
<channel ref="my-cfamf"/>
</channels>
<properties>
<source>flex.pretraffic.cfc.job</source>
<lowercase-keys>true</lowercase-keys>
</properties>
</destination>
Well, when I run the app... the combobox is not populated...
Can anyone help with what I've done wrong?
Thanks!

SAP MM Functional Consultant's role in a Upgrade Project from 4.6C to 6.0

Hi Guys,
I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
Thanks guys.

> I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
- defining the core processes
- test and customize them
- release the customizing transports for production
> I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
Since each project is different and each system has a different customizing/configuration it's not possible to generate a step-by-step guide what you have to do. The requirements are usually defined by the business.
Your project leader should be able to give you a project plan (e. g. by using Solution Manager Upgrade Project) where you can get an idea based on the system you're going to upgrade.
