Using ODI Logical Components or Transformations

Could any one please let me know how we can use Transformations over and above the mappings.
to start with FILTER/SORT transformations should be enough.
i have SOURCE and TARGET mapping done . both ORACLE DB .
SOURCE's COUNTRY table i am Extarct-Loading to TRAGET's COUNTRY table.
just need to use FILTER/SORT transformation to restrict the TARGET DAT FLOW.
say for e.g COUNTRY name should be loaded in Ascending order or those COUNTRIES should get loaded which COUNTRY_ID is < 7 , assuming i have total 8 records with 1-8 numbered as COUNTRY_ID
TIA,
-Shekhar-

I face issues while selecting the Output Connector Points,. it doesn't list out any details in the drop down . how ever i could select SRC_COUNTRY as Input Connector Point.

Understanding and using Logical Components for Managed System configuration

Experts.....
I am embarking on a fresh installation of SolMan 7 EhP1 SPS25 and after a few bugs along the way, I am finally nearing the end of including the first Managed System. Somewhat related to {forum:id=10293771] I am hoping I can get some advice, but specifically with regards to Logical Components.
General question - I have a slide from SAP that shows a picture from Product->System->Instance->Logical System (client)->Logical Component. I am confused because it shows that Client 100 of a given ABAP system could be assigned to Logical Component A, whereas Client 200 of the same system could be assigned to Logical Component B. This seems wrong to me?
I am at the last step of the managed systems configuration wizard : "create logical components" and only want to ensure that I set things up to hopefully ensure that later usages (Maintenance Optimizer, etc) will handle things correctly!!!
- Our SAP landscape is not very complex
1. only ERP and EP (Dev/Test/Prod).
2. We are utilizing HR Self Service (XSS).
3. The ERP ABAP systems are on Netweaver 7.01.
4. EhP4 has been installed, however we only activated the HCM business functions. Therefore SAP_HR is on 604 whereas SAP_APPL is on 600. I think this might be driving some of the confusion in SMSY
For the DEV ABAP system I am trying to configure:
1. The system is showing up in two products : "SAP ERP" and "SAP ERP Enhancement Package" with the header data for both showing "EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01" and "SAP ERP 6.0"
2. Under "SAP ERP" the "product instance selection" shows only "SAP NW - Adobe Docu. Service" and "SAP ECC Server" as relevant
3. Under ""SAP ERP Enhancement Package" the "product instance selection" shows only "Human Capital Mgmt" as relevant by default. I manually flagged the development portal system as "relevant" for "SAP XSS (Self Services)"
4. The RCA DBA Cockpit system is complaining "No data available for extractor activation. Please check product mapping and Software Components in SMSY"
5. In the Managed System wizard, there is no logical component for any of the "EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01" selections
From what I can tell, I think this is correct:
1. Create a Z_EHP4 logical component and assign the DEV/QAS/PRD systems to them
2. Also assign the DEV/QAS/PRD to the existing SAP logical component "SAP ERP ECC SERVER"???
3. For the Solutions, my plan is to create
a. Non-Production ERP : with the dev/test erp/ep systems, but test system as the leading system
b. Production ERP with the prod erp/ep systems only
Thanks for any advice/guidance to help me avoid future problems!!

General question - I have a slide from SAP that shows a picture from Product->System->Instance->Logical System (client)->Logical Component. I am confused because it shows that Client 100 of a given ABAP system could be assigned to Logical Component A, whereas Client 200 of the same system could be assigned to Logical Component B. This seems wrong to me?
Client 100 could be assigned to any number of logical components, client 200 could be assigned to those same ones or none of them. A logical component is just a grouping of systems used to accomplish some task in SolMan.
For example with ChaRM you could have 2 logical components.
ZCHARM_DEV development (100) -> QA (200) -> prod (300)
ZCHARM_SEC security (900) -> QA (200) -> prod(300)
One is used to show the path for moving development changes to prod, the other for security changes. 200 belongs to both, but 100 only to one.
Set them up in whatever way meets you needs. It looks like for you, you could just use the default one and assign your clients to the various system roles. Not all functionality in SolMan uses the logical components though.

Logical data Model Using ODI

Can I create Logical data Model Using ODI ? If yes how can I do it ?

User,
ODI is not a tool to design. It's a comprehensive integration platform.
However if you would like to model your data, you can use for example Oracle Designer 9i, which is availble one the Oacle website for free.
Oracle 10gR2 Designer is also availble at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/designer/htdocs/winsoft.html
Good luck.

Problem while transferring XML to oracle using ODI

Hi,
I need to transform a XML file to Oracle using ODI. i created the target oracle table as usual.
I read the thread on "http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1909900&#1909900" to create an XML model.
Now my problem is while importing the XML model, in the definition tab, i had given the technology as XML, choosen the appropriate logical shema.
In the reverse tab, i have choosen global as context and what should i do in the SELECTIVE REVERSE tab.
I am not getting any KM in the control tab. so what is the KM for XML and how should i get that?
Please anyone who knows help me...
Thanks in advance,
Ram Mohan T.

When you do the reverse, you should be able to do a "Standard Reverse". No KM is needed for that.
When you define an interface to move the data, you should use the SQL KMs to access the data in XML. You will need to have these imported in the project where you define the interface.

Is this Possible using ODI / ODQ ?

Hi ALL,
Is the below requirement possible with ODI / ODQ?
(right now I am doing it mannually, and its like a monthly/weekly process)
If we can do the same using ODQ how I need to start and proceed?
My requirement is some thing like this. I have two columns
Address1 (street address)
Address2 (additional Information)
In some cases the address is not in the proper format. So I need to do some data cleansing (data scrubbing) before loading using ODI
Use Address2 if Address1 is PO Box, building name, or any info aside from a street address. Only one address column is needed in the output (Address1)
For example :
INPUT
ADDRESS1--------------------------------------------------ADDRESS2
HIGHWAY # ------------------------------------------------5010944 MARSH RD
PO BOX 40964---------------------------------------------1100 AA CORP PARKWAY
DBA VANTAGE PP---------------------------------------11031 PERRY HIGHWAY
HOME INFUSION THERAPY SERVICES--------11031 PERRY HIGHWAY
7275 BUFFALO ROAD----------------------------------(WAS 6855 BUFFALO ROAD)
7601 N FEDERAL HWY---------------------------------#2506
MCAS ---------------------------------------------------------(MARINE CORPS AIR STATION)
212 BRADDOCK AVENUE------------------------------
212 NINTH STREET----------------------------------------
2138 JONATHON DRIVE---------------------------------
OUTPUT (Note : we don’t need the Address2 column in the output)
ADDRESS1----------------------------------ADDRESS2
10944 MARSH RD------------------------10944 MARSH RD
1100 AA CORP PARKWAY-----------1100 AA CORP PARKWAY
11031 PERRY HIGHWAY-------------11031 PERRY HIGHWAY
11031 PERRY HIGHWAY-------------11031 PERRY HIGHWAY
7275 BUFFALO ROAD------------------(WAS 6855 BUFFALO ROAD)
7601 N FEDERAL HWY----------------#2506
MCAS-----------------------------------------(MARINE CORPS AIR STATION)
212 BRADDOCK AVENUE------------
212 NINTH STREET----------------------
2138 JONATHON DRIVE---------------
I have posted a similar kind of question in DATA Quality (ODQ) forum
Forum Home » Master Data Management (MDM) » Data Quality
ADDRESS CLEANING(US) USING ODQ
Thread: ADDRESS CLEANING(US) USING ODQ
if any body is working on address cleansing using ODQ, Please guide me to start working on it.
IS there any specific documents for ADDRESS CLEANING which gives more information about the process flows such as
Transformer, Customer Data Parser, Sort for Postal Matcher, Postal Matcher, Window Key Generator,Sort for Linking, Relationship Linker, Commonizer, and Data Reconstructor.
Thanks in Advance,
Rathish

Hi Rathish,
I was building the java code but I got other idea to make more simple.
1) load the values into a temp table with one column for each address (means 2 columns per line) plus 2 other columns to control.
Something like:
table temp_data
columns: add_1 , control_1, add_2, control_2
You can do that thru an interface. Let the fields "control" with no value when loaded
2) create a table to storage the values you sent to me (Avenue, street...)
table street_names
columns: street_name, country (to your future use)
3) Create an ODI procedure (or you can customize a KM with the same technique)
3.1) Step 1 at target Tab, technology javaScript
code:
<@String vU=" ";@>
3.2.1) step 2 - Tab Source - technology "your database" and the Logical Schema where the "street_names" table as created
select street_name
from street_names
where country = 'US'
3.2.2) step 3 - Tab Target - tecnology javaScript
<@vU+="or instr(upper(add_1),upper('#street_name'))>0 ";@>
3.3) step 3 - Target Tab - technology "your database" and the Logical Schema where the "temp_data" table as created
<@vU=vU.substring(3);@>
update temp_data
set control_1 = 'Y'
where <@=vU@>
3.4) step 4 step 3 - Target Tab - technology "your database" and the Logical Schema where the "temp_data" table as created
<@vU=vU.replaceAll("add_1","add_2")@>
update temp_data
set control_2 = 'Y'
where <@=vU@>
4) Now you have a table (temp_data) with a flag "Y" where there is a street name and "null" where doesn't exist. Just generate your file by a interface or odiSqlUnload Toll.
Put all together into a package and you will have your process.
I create in this way to minimize the access to the temp_table, just 2 updates.
can be used some alternatives to tunning the hole process if the time doesn't match what you need.
That is a fast solution. Something more elaborated can be done if necessary.
Does it help you?

Logical Components and Solution Landscapes - 2 PRD ECC Servers

When I assign my PRD ECC5 server to Logical Components > SAP ECC > SAP ECC Server > SAP ECC, I select the Product Version as SAP ECC5.
From the drop down list on Production System, I can see both my ECC 5 PRD's clients listed. I select one client, all OK. Problem is I have 2 Production ECC5's, both to be used in seperate solutions. So I can only select ONE of these,
How can I use 2 ECC5 Production systems in Logical Components, or does it need to be configured differently?
Thanks,
Derek

hi Derek,
you can create more than one logical component under ECC. Just name it something like ZECC2 and the define the systems for this logical component. You can then use the logical component in your project system landscapes.
To add a new one just right click on the text SAP ECC Server and select Create Logical Component.

Jason

I have more than one version of GR5 on my mac. How do I know which is being used by logic 9?

Hi, I'm new to logic pro and would realy appreciate some help. I have several versions of guitar rig 5 on my mac. How do I find out which one is being used in logic.
I looked in plugins and see a version that is only 109 mb but I have another that is over 500 mb on my desktop. Can I just drag and drop this into plugins folder?
Sorry if I seem a bit stupid but I can't make out what is being used as the one called up in logic seems to be the full version.
Thanks

The presets from earlier versions of GR should all be in the same place anyhow.. so reinstalling GR5 into it's correct locvation shouldn't affect anything regarding those other presets. In fact, as far as I can recall.. GR5 should ask if you want to import older presets when you first run GR5 standalone (The app version of GR5 in your applications folder) after install....
Then those same presets should be present in in the AU version of GR5....
Also GR4 (So long as you updated it to the latest version via the Service Center) should also continue to work with Logic Pro anyhow.. and load when you load an older project which used that version....
Finally, any version you may have installed elsewhere.. won't work with Logic Pro because LP uses the AU Component version that is installed by the NI installer and therefore located in your components folder... Those other versions are more likely to be copies of the standalone version.. which LP9 doesn't use.

Problems with Logical Components

Hi All,
I am having problems with Logical Components with our project. We are implemeents SAP HCM and we have defined a logical component Z_ERP for the ECC server. now when you look at the transaction from SOLAR02 it seems they also have a logical Component SAP Learning Solution that is assigned to them. what could be the cause of this???

Hi Trevor,
If you brought them in from the Business Process Repository, the logical component is going to be the default one. If you want to use your own, you need to replace the default one with yours.
You can do this in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN by going to the System Landscape tab > Systems tab > highlight the SAP Learning Solution logical component row > press F4 > replace it with Z_ERP.
If for some reason SAP Learning Solution isn't listed as a logical component you may have to add it, you can also just go to SOLAR02 > Edit > Replace Log. Comp > Enter SAP Learning Solution in the top box and Z_ERP in the bottom one > click Save.

Jason

ChaRM:Logical Components for Projects

Hi Experts,
I have done ChaRM config and i am about to create logical components for the project Project.
I have below two questions please help.
While creating a logical component when i have multiple clients in DEV, QAS and PRD how to proceed and second question is about RFC Users in satellite systems.
1) My ECC landscape have DEV ->100, 200, 300, 400, QAS-> 100, 200, 300, PRD-> 100, 200 with multiple clients.
So while creating logical component do i need mention all clients in the logical component or its enough if i mention DEV->100, QAS->100, PRD->100 ?
If i mention only one client in logical component how transports will move to other clients in DEV, QAS and PRD. Please help.
2) Second question is do we need to create READ, TMW, back rfc users in all clients for DEV, QAS and PRD for above ECC landscape ?
Please help for above question.
Regards
Latha

Hi,
So while creating logical component do i need mention all clients in the logical component or its enough if i mention DEV->100, QAS->100, PRD->100 ?
Yes, you can have this TMS track defined and use SCC1 for performing imports within the system (like QAS 100 to QAS 200 ). Or use the Tranport Target Group option so that your TR is visible in import queue of all system. More info Extended Transport Control (SAP Library - BC Change and Transport Organizer)
2) Second question is do we need to create READ, TMW, back rfc users in all clients for DEV, QAS and PRD for above ECC landscape ?
Yes, you need RFCs b/w your working client (100 ) and 000 client of domain controller. Not for all clients.

Logical components for ERP and ERP EnhP 3

Hello,
We have a landscape or ECC 6.0 Systems created in the SMSY. Those systems were linked to a new logical component Z_ERP60 under product ERP 6.0. Then we used that logical component in all the projects.
Later on, we upgrade ECC 6.0 to EnhP 3. So, we went to the SMSY transaction, to the infrastructure components--systems and add new product versions to the existent system.
However, the logical component is defined as valid only for the original product ERP 6.0, and not to the new ERP 6.0 EhP3. When we go to SOLAR01 transaction we still see that processes from BPR that belongs to EhP3 are greyed.
We want to know which is the best practice to handle this request, whether we create a new logical component associated to the product ehp3, Z_ERP60_EHP and then replace all the projects with the new component, or is there any other alternative.
I appreciate your inputs.
Regards
Esteban Hartzstein

Many thanks for your answer. The attachment is related to whether ERP EhP is available as a product in Solution Manager. We are in SolMan EhP1 (SP 18), so we already have the product available. However my concern is that we need to redefine the logical component. Logical component belongs to one single product, being ERP 6.0 or ERP 6.0 EhP. So, in our case we need to create a new logical component with the new ERP 6.0 EhP and then re-atach all the individual systems to the new logical compoent. Then we need to replace in all the projects withe the new logical component. Is there any alternative to deal with this problem of redefintion of logical components??

2 Logical Components for 1 Business Process Step

Hello All,
I'm looking for a way to assign in SolMan --> transaction Solar01 - Tab Structure - Business Process Step, 2 logical components for 1 business step. When creating the business step I have to assign 1 specific logical component to this step. Once I have done this I can only select the chosen logical component ffor SAP Transactions, configuration object etc.. As my business step is running on 2 different systems I need to find a way to link transactions etc. in the step to the different systems. Is there any way to change this for the Level 3 elements, like it is for level 2 (business processes) where I can choose in the different tabs between all the logical components?
Thanks in advance
Ramó

I've seen people use some absolute craziness to get more than three levels. The most extreme being using multiple projects at the highest level (i.e. a project for PTP Accounts Payable). Don't go there.
I personally like to have 1 transaction per process step. Don't use the transaction tab as another process level, use it to better describe the process step (like all the other tabs are uses). It results in a better understanding of the system as you go forward. To do that I make teams break up things they think are one step (this can take some arm twisting, so hit the gym and maybe take a few judo classes).
This allows you to use SolMan in more powerful ways. For instance, if you attach development objects to a step with 5 transactions, you cannot tell which transaction is modified by the development object. However, one transaction per node provides you this link. There are other examples, but basically the "where used" button becomes very useful when you have 1 transaction per node.
Maybe you could provide a specific example of your process and we can think of a better way to collapse it.
Such as:
- PTP Non-Merchandise Purchasing
-- Expense Purchasing
--- Create Purchase Requisition
--- Create Purchase Order (Assign Vendor & Price)
--- Send to Vendor
--- Post Goods Receipt
--- Perform LIV
--- Process Payment
Some companies have 6 level processes already defined in models and putting it into SolMan can be a pain for sure. Your naming convention is usually the best route.

Jason

Help needed to DELETE a System created with Logical Components assigned.

Hi,
I created a system in SMSY in my Solution Manager system. I unknowingly assigned the system to Logical Components. Now on finding that it was a worng way of configuration I need to DELETE the system and recreate it using the option "Create new system with assistant."
Please help me in resolving the issue. I am not getting an option from the were used list to delete the assignment of the system.
Expecting a reply at the earliest.
Regards,
Vineeth

Dear friend
You can remove the system from the logical component by clicking on display/change and removing the SID from the system assignments,
just select the blank field from F4 help.
Once you have removed the system from the logical component, you will be able to delete the system.

SOS!!!!----Error for Loading data from Oracle 11g to Essbase using ODI

Hi all.
I want to load data from oracle database to essbase using ODI.
I configure successfully the physical and logical Hyperion essbase on Topology Manager, and got the ESSBASE structure of BASIC app DEMO.

Hi ethan.....
U always need a driver to be present inside ur <ODI installation directory>\drivers folder.....for both the target and the source......Because ojdbc14.jar is the driver for oracle already present inside the drivers folder ....we don't have to do anything for it.....But for Essbase ...you need a driver......If u haven't already done this.....try this.....
Hope it helps...

Script Logic VS Data Transformation File

Hi all,
   I'm new to SAP BPC. I have knowledge of SAP BW.
   I can see conversion file, which we are referring in data transformation file. which we can use for mapping and conversion of external data into internal data.
How data transformation file different form script logic? Are we going to refer script logis in Data transformation file for each required dimension?
Can any of you give me clarity on how to place script logic and data transformation file in BPC data management flow.
I will really applicate all your help!!!
Thanks
Ben.

Nilanjan,
   I have a another quick question...
suppose my bpc application has 5 dimensions. Out of the 5 dimensions, 4 dimensions data i'm getting directly from SAP BW. assume 1 dim, i need to extract by doing look up at different table which also reside in BW.
   how to populate data for DIM 5.
   I got your point that data transformation file purely for field mapping. suppose DIM5 if i want to populate from script logic, wht do i need map in Transformation file. I hope you got my point.
   My question if how to populate a DIM in BPC using lookup approach.
Thanks,
Ben.

In what circumstances would need to use ODI as a complement to a deployment of EDQ?

Im about to do a presentation about Oracle Enterprise Data Quality and Oracle Data Integrator.
In my understanding if I use ODI to do ETL/EL-T tasks, ODI needs EDQ jobs to perform advance Data Quality procesing. In that escenario is perfectly understandable the implementation of both ODI and EDQ solutions.
If I does not have any solution to do ETL/EL-T task, and my objetive is mainly do data cleansing, (take a set of data, cleaning it, and write the results on a database) why I would need ODI? There is a feature that I could need from it, that I do not have in EDQ for this purpose?
This doubt came to me, becouse I found a lot of references that makes me think that this two solutions are codependents.
Thanks for your reply!
regards.

Hi,
This might help. Note that ODI and EDQ are normally sold together for Data Warehousing scenarios, though arguably data profiling, at least, is important in nearly all new projects that use ETL/E-LT technology.
Some customers, especially MDM customers, do use EDQ for their ETL requirements, as these tend to be simpler than data warehousing scenarios where load plans and data aggregations are important. ODI also has more comprehensive connectivity than EDQ, for example for Mainframe systems.
We are also seeing a trend for ETL/EL-T to be done strategically in such a way that it rarely needs revisiting for new projects; for example when a new system is onboarded, the key data is replicated or ETL'd into a standard holding area which is then used for any projects which require data from many source systems. This means that EDQ very often takes data output from ETL/EL-T without necessarily being embedded in the ETL or data replication flows.
Very often both ETL and DQ are required
It’s not the size or complexity of the transformation that is different, it’s the nature of the transformations – syntax or meaning?
ODI will do all sorts of denormalisation/normalisation for populating star schemas that would be complex and slow in EDQ
EDQ will do all sorts of things that improve the business value of the data that ODI would never do
Data volumes are unlikely to be a guide as to which toolset would be used for a particular task
