Question to assigning Source System for Activation

We want to assign source system for activation, before business content-InfoObject catalog activation. The steps as follows:
1.On the Data Warehousing Workbench: Business Content view from the menu choose Edit  Source System Assignment.->This step is ok, no question.
2. In the Choose source system by default? dialog box select the checkbox in the column Default assignment in the row containing the source systems you need to load data from.->Now we can see BI system as default call DEGCLNT500 displayed, in my case we only connect one R/3 system call DHHCLNT100 to BI system.
So, the question to that is shoud we select both R/3 source system and BW source system as default or just select R/3 source system as default and dis-select BW source system?
Which one should we choose, both or only R/3 source system?
Pls help, thanks!

Hi hi ni,
If what you are activating it's going to retrieve data only from R/3, then select R/3 and uncheck BW.
You can change this whenever you want, if in the future you need bw, before activating, you can change it.
This doesn't means where is going to get the data from, this is just to look for active (and replicated) datasources to connect to the business content you are activating.
Hope this helps.

Assign Source System to Source System ID

Hello Experts,
I am loading master data from flat file (which is an export from another BI system Info Object) in which one of the attribute is SourceSytem ID (0SOURSYSTEM). But in the flat file some of the records for this particular attribute are blank and some are with R3. So the records which are without any sourcesystem ID are not getting loaded.
Error is as follows: No source system ID exists for source system (logical system) FLAT_FILE.
Detail Error: Procdure: Assign source system ID to logical source system FLAT FILE. To do this go to TOOLS--> Assign source system to source system ID from main menu of DWB.
Can anyone tell me what exactly I need to give at this place. Any two digit char or do I need to contact basis to follow any specification?
Thanks for your time.
Experts please let me know how I can proceed loading flatfile data which i got from another BI system.

Hi,
What exactly does this attribute does while reporting?
Usually if you have 2 source system then this attribute is used to differentiate between to source systems. You have to use this is report to restrict to particular source system
I am assuming it will just differentiates the data that we loaded either from R/3 or FF or something else. Is that right?
Yes, You are right
Apart from that is there anything useful in reporting point of view?
Everything is based on reporting. Mostly you will use this when you are having two source systems. Ex: ECC and CRM for 0BPARTNER info object
It doesnt matter if I give any two chars(as u said) right?
No it doenst matter. You have button called something "Suggest ..." you can use that. Other wise you can give your own name
thanks

Besides the obvious, does anyone have any info. as to what this means:"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."

Besides the obvious, does anyone have any info. as to what this means:"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."

what do you mean by the obvious?, it's a permission issue, ARD must run as systems administrator to boardcast, tunnel IPv6 calls, etc.

Error when creating SAP source-system in RSA1

hi,
we have a new bi-installation. the bi-system is running in the SAME system as our erp 2005-system is running.
the bi-client is 700, our source-system (FI/CO) client is 101. I want to create a source-system in RSA1. at the end i get the following error message:
<b>Name D01MAND700 of client 700 is not the same as the name D01MAND101 of the Warehouse
Message no. R3225
Diagnosis
In order to guarantee error-free communication between the source system and the SAP Business Information Warehouse, the logical system names must be known to both.
The system has established that the selected source system name D01MAND101 in the SAP Business Information Warehouse is not the same as the logical system name D01MAND700.
System Response
Processing has been terminated and all changes undone.
Procedure
Create the source system under the name D01MAND700 in the SAP Business Information Warehouse or change the logical system name for client 700 to D01MAND101 in the ALE customizing screen of the source system.
Note that the logical system name for client 700 may already be being used for other ALE scenarios. If this is the case you are not able to change the name.</b>
i don't understand this error ? is it because the BI-system and the erp-system is the SAME system ?
reg, Martin

mr. kapadia,
there is one entry in table rsbasidoc, and it looks like that:
SLOGSYS     D01MAND700
RLOGSYS     D01MAND700
OBJSTAT     ACT
BIDOCTYP    ZSCA017
TSIDOC3X    0
TSPREFIX    CA
SRCTYPE     M
SAPREL      700
TSTPNM      D78358
TIMESTMP    20.070.622.093.042
SBWBCRL     700
RBWBCRL     700
looks strange, right ? what should i do ? delete this entry ? how can i do this, it is a customizing table, i cant delete it via SE16 ?!?

Unable to Create Source system in RSA1

I have installed a BI Server(Netweaver 2004s). When i try to add source system in RSA1, it gives an error "No entry for BW_USER in table RSADMIN available"
Let me tell what all i tried.
1) i clicked on settings>global settings- it gives a blank page. when i switch it to change mode, there is a button called "Position" and then "Entry1 of 2". I cant enter any value there and when i click on "Position" button, it says "Table RSADMINAV has no relevant fields"
2) In se16 tried to maintain RSADMINA table and for BW User field, i gave BW_USER, but there is no "execute" Button. all i see is "Reset" button. i tried pressing F8 key, it wont do anything. I clicked on save but it says "the entry is already exist"
Regarding RFC - i created a user BW_USER in ERP Sytem and ERP_USER in BI server and both the user type are System user.
From both the server i tried to do Connection test and i am not getting any error. but if i try clicking Remote Connection, it wont connect and wont do anything and no Errors.
Please help me Resolving this Issue, Since it became a very critical issue.

Hi,
Can you check if there is any other user ID specified in "BW user for ALE".
To check, Go to transaction RSA1 --> Settings --> Global Settings.
If you find a different user id there, then specify the correct BW user id there.
Please refer to OSS Note 410952 for details.
Hope this solves your problem!!

Raj.

SAP Source System showing up as BI Source System in RSA1

I have 2 BW systems and 2 CRM Systems. In one BW system, when I create a SAP Source system in RSA1, It gets listed as a SAP Sources system along with ECC and all the rest.
The Logicial Systems and RFC Connections all appear to be the same between each pair.
In the other system, using identical procedure, it the source system gets listed as a BI Source System. The 2 CRM systems have identical components and version levels as do the 2 BW systems.
Any idea why and if this would make any difference and how to correct.

Hi,
To fix this, you need to do a restore (& not a delete) of the source system in BW, having deleted the RSBASIDOC entry in the source OLTP system.
This will force the BW system to interrogate the RSBASIDOC table entry in the source system again and it should then realise that it is an R/3 system (not a BW system) and move the entry to the SAP folder.

Source system in RSA1 is diiferent to the datasource in infoprovider

Dear Guru's
I have created a quality source system in RSA1 tcode for client 210 but in my infoprovider it shows me of diiferent datasource ie for client 200 and i need this client to be 210 so kindly help me to resolve this issue
Regards
Mohammed

HI,
Do you want to change all the assignments from client 200 to 210. Or is it for this particular Infoprovider (you have mentioned) and the relevant transformations.
Does
1) both clients exists as your source systems or
2) client 200 is to be replaced by client 210.
In the second scenario, you can refer this article. Contact your BASIS team for guidance.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/805eefcd-5428-2d10-c0ab-dc27a95b2c81
For scenario 1, if you want to load data from 210 client to this particular Infoprovider , replicate the datasource for client 210 in BI side and create new transformation, Infopackage and DTP from the datasource to the target.
Hope this helps.

How to Check source systems in RSA1 and verify that connections are working

How to Check source systems in RSA1 and verify that connections are working ok and how to Check Planning Area have green status.................

Hi,
In rsa1, go to 'Tools' and option 'Manage Source System' - the screens are self explanatory there after. To check the planning areas, go to transaction /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN anc check the status of the relevant planning areas.

Error while assigning source system to SAP Remote cube

I need to do a query using remote cube and the source sys is flat file.
it wont let me assign the source system to the remote cube.
the r/3 system icon is seen next to the remote cube technical name...
I can't see my flatfile source system
can somebody help me.

Hello Kiran,
I don't think its possible to use Remote cubes for PC_FILE or FLAT FILE as Source system.
You can use Virtual Providers in these different scenarios
Virtual Providers based on DTP => used for SAP source systems
Virtual Providers based on BAPI => used for non-SAP or external systems
Virtual Providers bsaed on Function modules => You use this VirtualProvider if you want to display data from non-BI data sources in BI without having to copy the dataset into the BI structures. The data can be local or remote. You can also use your own calculations to change the data before it is passed to the OLAP processor. This function is used primarily in the SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM) application.
Use InfoObects as Virtual Providers
Your case is none of these.

Assigning Source System to an InfoSource

For some InfoSources I sometimes have problems when I try and transport Source System assignment and datasource assignment.
In the past I have just done this assignment on the respective systems.
Is there potential consequences of doing the assignment outside of a transport? Thanks

Hi Niten,
If the assignmnet is "in sync" with the other systems where it was orginally assigned then there should be any issues.
However the correct method (also recommended by SAP) is to transport the assignments.
Bye

Activation in Business Content but Not Assign Source System

Hi guys i am using BI 7.0 and i have to activate some infocubes in BC but when i activate them i have no choice for activate the source system asignation and the infopackages too....then i have to activate the standard objects and then manually create the transfer rules and the infopackages....
I have set up the systems which i want to connect in BC screen and i have activated and repeated my datasources.....
I hope somebody could help me with this

Hi Oscar,
Before you transfer your cubes to the right hand side, make sure you have selected the right source system ok. Once you transfer the cube to the RHS, make sure in grouping you select 'In dataflow before'
Once you have done this, IF there is a standard Datasource associated with the BC infocube it will then show up in the hierarchy.
Considering it is there, please activate this Datasource in your source system replicate your source system in BI. Now activate your other objects

Two source system in RSA1

Hello All,
I have the following scenario.
I have two source system ECDCLNT200 and ECDCLNT230 and one BI system BIDCLNT200. client 200 is used for configuration and client 230 is used for data loading and validation.now firstly i created source system ECDCLNT230 in RSA1 then it comes under SAP menu but when i try to create ECDCLNT200 in SAP Menu it comes automatically under BI menu. i deleted it and tried again but the same problem is there.
if i remain the same configuration means ECDCLNT200 under BI menu then will it create any problem in future ? or if i want to create ECDCLNT200 under SAP menu what is the otheroption ?
I tried both the way. first i rightclick on main node and selected create source system and second time i right click on SAP and select create source system but couldn't create it.
Please let me know the solution.
Regards,
Komik Shah

Thanks vincent,
i got the solution through SAP note.
I have assigned the points.
Thank you again

Authorization for user in ECC while creating source system in RSA1 in BW

Hello All..
We are trying to create source system from BW(7.0) system using transaction code rsa1 to R/3 Production server.
After providing details in RSA1->Source system ; Remote logon screen of Production server pops up ...and ask to login thru admistrator Id..
To achieve the above task,, what authorization user should have in R/3 system..
Thanks

Hi,
Hope you are using the RFCUSER with these profile SAP_ALL , SAP_NEW , S_BI-WX_RFC in SAP ECC. Please create the RFCUSER with above profiles in ECC and BW (SAP_ALL , SAP_NEW and S_BI-WHM_RFC).
Pls follow the below steps for source system connection
In ECC side
1.) Client administration SCC4 ( select your client and allow changes to repository and cross client customizing)
2.) Define a logical system in ECC
3.) Assign a logical system in ECC
4.) Creating RFC user with system user type and give these profiles SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW, S_BI-WX_RFC
In SAP BI Side
1.) Client administration SCC4 ( select your client and allow changes to repository and cross client customizing)
2.) Define a logical system
3.) Assign a logical system
4.) Creating RFC user with system user type and give these profiles SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW, S_BI-WHM_RFC)
5.) Define RFC user as default (Click RSA1> Global Settings/Customizing dialog box> Glob. Settings)
Connection of SAP BI with ECC
RSA1> Source System>SAP>create>Enter the below entries
Target computer (server) Server of the SAP ECC
System ID System ID of the SAP ECC
System number System number of the SAP ECC
Background user in source system RFCUSER
Password for source system Password
Background user in BW RFCUSER (can not be changed in this activity)
Password for BW user Password
Select unicode in RFC destination and don't select the checkbox in logic screen.
On the dialog box Please log on as an basis administrator in the following screen choose Continue.
Log on to the Source System with your administrator user. Choose the correct client.
On the Replicate Metadata dialog box, choose Only Activate.
Make sure ECC client will allow changes in cross customizing client. It is one time activity once success then deselect the entry.
Hope this will help you to connect the system.
