Using XI in Data Migration World

Hi,
We are thinking to use XI as a replacement to ETL tool in our typical data migration activities.
1) Is it easy to do XI for data migration activities like converting Materials, Vendors,Customers, etc? There will be significant cleaning & profiling of data. Is that possible using XI?
2) Do we still need to use staging database? Any architecture document or white papers covering DM-XI will be very helpful
3) We have several legacy systems to convert in phases and I am looking for any best standards of practice using DM with XI.
Any additional information on conversions with XI is very useful.
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi,
If u think only for data migration purpose Xi is not suugestable, since we need to convert large volume of data. We have standard programs also if u want convert data into SAP.
XI is could be useful to fetch the data from legacy and post the needed information into target system by converting suitable format.

How to use IDoc. in data migration?

Dear Expert,
How can I use IDoc. method in Data Migration???

Hi,
You can use Idoc method in data migration using LSMW - Idoc method.
In LSMW select the Idoc method and give the Message type and Basic type according to your requirement.
Before that you need to maintain the Idoc inbound processing.
Goto LSMW initial screen,
LSMW -> Settings -> IDoc Inbound Processing. Maintain File port, partner type and partner no.
After maintaining the Partner no. goto WE20 (maintain partner no.) and add the message type in the Inbound parameters of the partner no. Also we need to maintain the Process code for the message type.
After all this settings we can use Idoc method for data migration.
The rest of the steps are same as other methods till convert data.

Fixed Asset Data Migration Wizard

Hi All,
I tried to use Fixed Asset Data Migration Wizard to migration my fixed asset data from 8.82 to 9 in the development server. The server only accessible by myself.
When I start the migration run, system prompt me " To Continue with the fixed asset data migration, you must be the only user logged on to this company data".
In fact I'm the only user in the company data and system not allow me to execute the migration.
What are the causes that system recognise there is another user in the system?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Foong Yee

Hi,
If you're using SQL Server, try Detach (close existing connections) and re-Attach the database again then re-login and try executing again the wizard.

How to work on BDC for data migration

Hi,
Can anybody please guide me on how we use bdc for data migration.
My abaper has prepared the bdc program for some IT.
I need to know the step by step procedure to upload the data using BDC programs.
Thanks

Hi,
If BDC is lareday in place for the infotype. Go to SE38 run the BDC select the source file Excel file ( Note: all the fields in source file should be same as per BDC).
Run the BDC program -select the source file- provide name starting from Z- Go to SM35
You will get your z file here..process the file the data will get uploaded to that certain infotype.
Note: if filed mismatch in Excel file and the fields which has been taken by ABAP at the time of BDC recording it will give you error, if you are running it in foreground in background processing data will be not upload.
If BDC is not in place try SCAT/ LSMW for data uploading.
Hope its clear ,if not please revert back.
Cheers,

I had a data migration done from old iMac to new iMac, how do I use that file to find my old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

I recently had a data migration from old iMac to new iMac 11.2
How do I use that data file to get old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

FireWire cables are dirt cheap and that's how you should be doing the migration. You might have to start over, wiping the new machine's HD, and restoring the software as described in the Everything Mac manual that came with it. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac for more details.

Using export/import to migrate data from 8i to 9i

We are trying to migrate all data from 8i database to 9i database. We plan to migrate the data using export/import utility so that we can have the current 8i database intact. And also the 8i and 9i database will reside on the same machine. Our 8i database size is around 300GB.
We plan to follow below steps :
Export data from 8i
Install 9i
Create tablespaces
Create schema and tables
create user (user used for exporting data)
Import data in 9i
Please let me know if below par file is correct for the export :
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=y
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB
FULL=y
GRANTS=y
INDEXES=y
LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y
STATISTICS=ESTIMATE
TRIGGERS=y
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
Thanks,
Vinod Bhansali

I recommend you to change some parameters and remove
others:
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y -- This will increase better storage
structure ( It is good )
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=n -- if you set that parameter in yes you
can have problems with some objects
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB
FULL=y
GRANTS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
INDEXES=y
LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y -- ( start the database in restrict
mode and do not set this param )
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y
STATISTICS=ESTIMATE -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TRIGGERS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
you can see what parameters are not needed if you apply
this command:
[oracle@ozawa oracle]$ exp help=y
Export: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Sun Dec 28 16:37:37 2003

You can let Export prompt you for parameters by entering the EXP
command followed by your username/password:
Example: EXP SCOTT/TIGER
Or, you can control how Export runs by entering the EXP command followed
by various arguments. To specify parameters, you use keywords:
Format: EXP KEYWORD=value or KEYWORD=(value1,value2,...,valueN)
Example: EXP SCOTT/TIGER GRANTS=Y TABLES=(EMP,DEPT,MGR)
or TABLES=(T1:P1,T1:P2), if T1 is partitioned table

How to get the exact sql developer which used for data migration?

Hi all,
Hope doing well,
Sir i seen a link for data migration that is : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/sql-server-connection-viewlet-swf-089886.html
in this link when they are connecting to sql database so after clicking on new connection four tab is showing that is oracle, access, my sql, sql server.
i downloaded latest version of sql developer which version is: 3.02.09.30 when i opened this i am not getting those option.
and one more thing i am not getting miragation menu name in menu items.
please help me.
thanks and regards

Hi,
To connect to non-Oracle databases from SQL*Developer youneed to download the relevant JDBC driver.
This is detailed in the documentation in the User Guide -
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35137_01/appdev.32/e35117.pdf
in the section -
Database: Third Party JDBC Drivers
The Third Party JDBC Drivers pane specifies drivers to be used for connections to third-party (non-Oracle) databases, such as IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Sybase Adaptive Server. (You do not need to add a driver for connections to Microsoft Access databases.) To add a driver, click Add Entry and select the path for the driver:
■For IBM DB2: the db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar files, which are available from IBM
■For MySQL: a file with a name similar to mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar, in a directory under the one into which you unzipped the download for the MySQL driver
■For Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server: jtds-1.2.jar, which is included in the jtds-1.2-dist.zip download
■For Teradata: tdgssconfig.jar and terajdbc4.jar, which are included (along with a readme.txt file) in the TeraJDBC__indep_indep.12.00.00.110.zip or TeraJDBC__indep_indep.12.00.00.110.tar download
To find a specific third-party JDBC driver, see the appropriate website (for example, http://www.mysql.com for the MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver for MySQL, http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ for the jTDS driver for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase Adaptive Server, or search at http://www.teradata.com/ for the JDBC driver for Teradata). For MySQL, use the MySQL 5.0 driver, not 5.1 or later, with SQL Developer release 1.5.
You must specify a third-party JDBC driver or install a driver using the Check for Updates feature before you can create a database connection to a third-party database of that associated type. (See the tabs for creating connections to third-party databases in the Create/Edit/Select Database Connection dialog box.)

Mike

go to scc1 and import the same ( to quality)

Using Access forms after migrating data to Oracle

Hi,
One of the features provided by the original Migration Workbench appears to be the ability to modify a migrated Access database to use an ODBC connection to Oracle so that the original forms could still be used. I have just been through the process of migrating the demo Northwind database into Oracle using the SQL Developer Migration Workbench but this doesn't appear to be an option.
I am missing something or is this feature not available using the migration tools in SQL Developer?
And if it is missing what would be the easiest way to achieve this? From my limited exposure to Access converting the Northwind application manually appears to be rather painful.
Many thanks,
Vince

Hi Vince,
As you have correctly stated, the option to modify an MS Access database for the purpose of using the original forms is not available in Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. As this option is no longer available, the easiest way to achieve the same result is to manually update your MDB file to reference the migrated Oracle tables. Once your MS Access Forms are referencing the link tables, you can continue using the forms as before. I would suggest doing the following:
NOTE: These steps should only be carried out after you have migrated your tables from Access to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. I would also recommend that you take a back-up of your MDB file before carrying out the following steps...just to be on the safe side!
1. Create a new System DSM (using the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog, via the Control Panel > Administrative Tools on your OS), using the connection details to access the newly migrated Oracle database schema. Test the connection, to ensure it's working correctly.
2. Open your MDB file in database view - double-click the MDB file, holding down the Shift key.
3. Remove the original Access tables.
4. Using the Insert > Table menu item in MS Access, start the New Table wizard and create Link Tables to each of the migrated tables in your Oracle schema. NOTE: Rename the Link Table(s) so it matches the original Access table name. This will save you from having to edit each of the Forms, to change the Record Source it's based on. The form will still have a reference to the original table name, so by reusing the same name your form should just continue working as before. The only difference is that the data is being retrieved from the Oracle database now!
If you have any questions regarding any of the above information, just respond to this thread & I'll get back to you.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

Data Migration Vs restore using backup

I just bought the new imac, and i want an exact copy of my macbook pro into my imac. including documents, pictures, softwars etc. etc.
what's the best option here?
Data Migration or restore using a backup copy?
Do they both do an idential job?
Please help me
Cheers

It is never a good idea to clone the drive of one model for another to use. It is usually safe to do this for two computers that are exactly the same year and model because they have the same components but otherwise don't risk it - especially when one of the computers involved is a newly shippled model which often has a special version of the OS due to its use of brand new technology.

Data Migration for Open Purchase Order

Hi, All,
Is there anyone know how to Count the volume for Open Purchase Order. What's the normal strategy for the Data Migration and Cut-over stage?
My client want to know how many Open Purchase Order in the legacy system and then determine manual or automatic data migration. If manual, how to do? If automatic, how to do? Because all materials and vendors, plants are different number. How to track? How to find out to match between new and old?
Thank you very much

JC,
Sounds a bit early to be making decisions about the realization phase. It doesn't sound like you have finished the Blueprinting phase yet, much less the testing phase.
Anyhow, in my experience I typically use LSMW (Legacy system migration workbench) to load MM master data (material masters), Inventory (WIP, RM, FG, etc) Purchasing Master data (Vendors, Purchase Info Records, Source Lists, Quota Arrangements), and Purchasing transactional documents (POs, PurReqs, Scheduling Agreements, etc). Depending on the complexity and volume of data, it may be necessary to write custom programs to load the data. You will find this out during your requirements gathering.
It is uncommon but possible to load all of these data manually. I have never run across a client that wants to pay a consultant's hourly rate to sit at a terminal to peck away loading master data, so if the client intends to have his own users enter the data manually, the project manager should make provision that there will be qualified TRAINED client employees available for this data entry. I did help with a portion of a conversion once manually; of Sales Credits, but there were only about 30 SD docs to load. I did this the evening before go-live day, while I was waiting for some of my LSMW projects to complete in the background.
A good opportunity to 'practice' your data loads is right after you have completed your development and customization, and you have gotten the approval from the client to proceed from the pilot build to the full test environment. Once you have moved your workbench and customization into the client's test environment, but before integration testing, you can mass load all, or a substantial portion of your conversion data into the qual system. You can treat it like a dry run for go-live, and fine tune your processes, as well as your LSMW projects.
Yes, it is good practice to generate comparisons between legacy and SAP even if the client doesn't ask for it. For Purchase orders on the SAP side, you could use any of the standard SAP Purchasing reports, such as ME2W, ME2M, ME2C, ME2L, ME2N. If these reports do not meet the requirements of the client, you could write a query to display the loaded data, or have an ABAPer write a custom report.
You didn't ask, but you should also do comparisons of ALL loaded data - including master data.
It sounds like you are implying that the client wants YOU to extract the legacy data. For an SAP consultant, this is not very realistic (unless the legacy system is another SAP system). Most of us do not understand the workings of the myriad legacy systems. The client is usually expected to produce one or more legacy system technical experts for you to liase with. You normally negotiate with the technical expert about every facet of of the data migration. In addition, you will liase with business users, who will help you and the implementation team to logically validate that the final solution (turnkey SAP production system, fully loaded with data) will meet the client's business needs.
Finally, you mentioned how do you track the mapping of master data between legacy and SAP. There are many ways to do this. I normally try to get the legacy person do the conversion on his end, eg, when he gives you the load file, you would like to have already translated the master data and inserted the SAP relevant values into the file. If this is not possible, I usually use MS Access databases to maintain a master map, and I perform the mapping on a PC. If your data package is small, you can probably get by using MS Excel or similar.
Good Luck,

Data migration

Dear all my friends,
please help to share me about data migration before go-live FI system.
i plan to migrate GL acct balance, AP/AR open item and last 3 months historical data.
please help to show me : how should i do ?
thanks !

1. Normal GL Accounts: In this case line items are not required and totals are to be updated in SAP. This can be done using GL fast entry if the number is not too high.
2. Open Item Managed GL Accounts: All the open line items are required to be uploaded in SAP from Legacy in order to clear them. Hence, a LSMW / BDC program has to be developed to upload the line items.
BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST - for GL/AP/AR
BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST - for AP
BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST - for GL
GL Balance
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Dr GL a/c Credit Data migration Account or Clearing Account
3. Customer & Vendor Open Items: All open line items in Customer and Vendor Accounts have to be brought in into SAP. For this also a LSMW / BDC program needs to be developed and upload the line items.
Vendor Balances
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Credit Vendor a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
Customer balances
F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
Dr Customers a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
4. Asset Accounting: In case asset accounting is implemented the individual balances of each asset (Gross Value and Accumulated Depreciation) have to be uploaded using transaction AS91. For this also you need to develop a LSMW / BDC program. Further, you also need to update the GL Accounts related to Asset Accounts with totals for each asset class T.Code OASV.
For uploading the Assets
AS91 -> for uploading assets in AA
OSAV --> for uploading assets in GL entry Dr Asset (individually) Cr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
You can use LSMW for uploading all these things
After uploading all, your data migration account will become zero
