Will an BI Content upgrade from affect the source systems?

Our current BW has BI Content 7.02 patch 003; we are planning an upgrade to 7.03 patch 012.  Will we have any impact on the source systems (ECC and SRM)?  We are trying to decide if we need to archive and backup the operational systems.  Since it is a lot of extra work and increases the number of people affected, we prefer not to do it unless necessary.
What type of regression testing is most common after a BI Content upgrade?
thank you very much,
LLK

Hi
As a data fetching from Source system -- the BI Upgrade does nt have any impact on Source Systems normally -- But u need to prepare a check list with before and after upgrade with DS ( Some times DS get de activated while upgradation ) and the DS are source system dependent so you may have to re activate the same based on requirement/possibilites-- And also you may have to empty the Delta Queues on Source System side -- otherthan that no impact , as far I know.
Hope it helps and celar

    will i have problem upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Maverick ?

    Impossible to know. But I would make a backup before doing so, just in case. I would also do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If you wish to save yourself a lot time should you need to reinstall Mavericks at some point in the future then see the following:
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
       2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
    Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this entire command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
         sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
         /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time. When completed it would be wise to test the installer by checking that it boots the computer and is then ready for installation.

  • Will any change in tempdb database affect the user defined tables?

    Will any change in tempdb database affect the user defined tables?
    Suppose I have deleted a table from system database tempdb, will it effect the user defined tables?
    Anujit Karmakar Sr. Software Engineer

    The short answer is no; deleting a table from tempdb will not affect user databases.
    Of course I could make up some connection between the two that you haven't described. For example, if a stored procedure created a temporary table, and was busy using it when you deleted it, the deletion could cause unexpected behavior in the user database,
    which could affect some table data.
    Also, some system actions in user databases can store data in tempdb temporarily. But you aren't likely to be talking about system usages of tempdb.
    So, unless you describe some connection, the tables in tempdb are independent from the user database tables.

    Hi,
      While executing( preview) an iview  of the predelivered CRM business package( com.sap.pct.crm.slsAnalyt.spa.Customer iview for Sales manager), in Enterprise Portal, I get an error " Error loading template 0TPL_0CRM_SM_CUSTOMER".
      I can see this perticular web template in BW and when trying to activate this by tranferring into the content windows it brought thousands of other objects( even when I selected 'Only necessary object'). I am not sure whether I should go ahead with the activation.
      I would like to know what is the relationship between a cube and a web template and how to findout the related cube from the template?
      Also is it possible to activate only certain webtemplates only for queries of a perticular cube?

  • How to change the Source system from ONE DataSource?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to change a DataSource's source system (active with dtp and transfer rules), but it's not possible to  do it in change mode because the field 'Source Sytem' is not enabled. I know I can use the BDLS transaction but I understand that this is for change all Datasources and I only want to change one of all.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Marcel,
    As I understand apart from file and web services all other data sources are replicated from underlying source system. BDLS transaction is used to change the source system but in case of system copy activity and it is necessary because the data sources points to old source system.
    In your case as I understand you will have to replicate the current data source directly from underlying source system and then build the rest of the flow. May I know how you have got this single data source for which the source system is different?

  • We would like to test old deltas from the source system( copied to new)

    Hi Gurus,
    The scenario is
    They will make a DB copy of the Prod system onto a QA system, the Copied system will have
    its system ID changed(SID) to a new one.
    There will be deltas available in the RSA7, as this is a copy of the  3 weeks old prod
    system. Now the delta's will be available on the Copied system pointing to the BW Prod system.
    We would like to test these delta's to BW Dev. why we would like to do the delta's to the
    BW dev system is to check whether we can do system copies without clearing the delta's on
    the source system.
    After the system copy we will do all the activities necessary to reflect the system changes
    a. Like BDLS, We20, we21,ALE checks, RFCDES, RSLOGSYSDEST, RSBASIDOC, etc on the source system to
    reflect the changes of the BW Prod system to BW Dev system.
    b. Likewise, we will perform all the above activities on the BW dev system by changing the
    existing source system to the new source system( performing BDLS,we0, we21, etc)to reflect
    the new Source system with the new (SID).
    c. We will check the source system connection
    d. Replicate the datasources on the new source system
    e. Activate the Transfer rules for the new source system.
    Now for us to do delta's from the new source system to the Bw dev system we need to change
    underlying tables in source system to point the delta's, arfc TID's etc to the BW dev system.
    We can change the entries in the TRFCQOUT, ARFCCSTATE, ARFCDATA tables to point the LUW's and
    destination to the BW dev system.
    What I presume is if we run the BDLS on the Copied system to change the BW prod system to BW
    and also  the underlying Tables for the LUW's and etc will still be pointing to BW Dev. I would
    like to know if this is the case .
    Lastly, appreciate if anyone can say if this is possible to do without having to clear the
    BW delta queue on the source system.

    Hi Ramesh,
    Appreciate a lot for your response, but i would like to know if we can reflect the entries in table RSSDLINIT(Last Valid Initializations to an OLTP Source) and RSSDLINITSEL(Last Valid Initializations to an OLTP Source)  in the BW system on the copied source system
    tables ROOSPRMSC(Control Parameter Per DataSource Channel), ROOSPRMSF(Control Parameter Per DataSource Channel) by executing the ABAP program RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE after we do the BDLS conversion on the new copied source system.
    After the BDLS conversion I reckon the entries in the RSA7 queue, ARFCCSTATE, TRFCQOUT tables willl reflect the BW Development system instead of the BW Production system isnt it.
    response much appreciated.

  • BI Content collecting objects from wrong/old source system??

    Hi Gurus! Lovely day here on the westcoast of Sweden - springtime is coming!
    I have selected an infosource for installation in trx RSOR. I also want to pick up some objects in the dataflow before and after that specific infosource. So I guess the system keeps trying to collect metadata from diffrerent source systems that we have assigned.
    I don't know the complete history of the systems - other than it's a bloody mess. We have right now a ECC 6 system connected to BI - but before that we had an older version connected (I guess 4.x something) on a diffrerent server.
    Somehow the collection process picks up some data from the ECC 6 system - but sometimes it asks for a login to the old system as well.
    This is my problem. I don't have an issue with logging on to the old system - because I have all the necessary rights to do that. But I don't want BI trying to collect metadata from our old system. So somewhere there's a pointer of some sort to the old system that I need to delete....
    The old system is not visible in the "source system assignment" view so I can't really find out where to change this settings....
    Any ideas??

    It's probably so. Would I still carry out the instructions Andreas gave me for checking this? Or should I just delete everything and do it all over again, just to get the connections straightened out?
    I'm more or less the only one at  this point using the system - as it is a kind of sandbox environment. So extreme measures is not a problem

  • R/3 connection to BIW - No Idocs arrived from the source system

  • Steps in BW after the upgrade of the source system R3 in netweaver 2004s???

    Hi,
    1. Who can tell me which are the steps to execute in BW after the upgrade of the source system R/3 4.6 to Netweaver 2004s (ECC6) ?
    2. Do the delta loads continue to run or must be re-initialized?
    Thanks for your help
    Dominique

    hi Dominique,
    you should take care not after upgrade, but also before upgrade
    or your upgrade has been done ?
    also stated, before upgrade
    If you use Logistic Cockpit, please make sure that you know notes 328181, 396647, 380078.
    These are absolutely prerequisit notes for using Logistic Cockpit.
    Never change the extract structure (communication structure) when there is data in SM13 or in the DeltaQueue!
    Never upgrade your PlugIn System when you have data in SM13 or in the DeltaQueue!
    SM13 and RSA7 have ALWAYS to be EMPTY BEFORE you apply any changes to communication structures, extract structures or any referenced Data Dictionary object or BEFORE you upgrade your PlugIn system!!!
    SM13 and RSA7 have to be EMPTY also when you apply PlugIn Support Packages!

  • Impact of upgrade of SAP R3 source system on BW system

    Hi Experts,
    Could you please help me to list down the impacts on BW system due to upgrade of SAP R3 source system?
    [1] Is there any impact if R3 is upgraded to Unicode restricted version from a version where Unicode restriction was not mandatory?
    [2] With respect to delta loads what will be the threat?
    [3] With respect to Business contents modifications by SAP's new upgraded version, can be there be any threat?
    Any inputs will be appreciated... Thanks in advance!
    Regards, Somenath

    Please specify which version of BW u r using.
    A direct upgrade to ECC6.0 is possible from a minimum lower version of R/3 3.1i and not below that and coming to BW an upgrade to BI 7.0 is possible from a minimum lower version of BW 3.0B and not below that.
    The compatibilty is possible with an addition of some Plug -In's or Patches.
    There will not be much of problem,

    2.CHECK THE SOURCE SYSTEM
    3.CHECK IT OUT WITH Oracle Consultants WEATHER THEY ARE FILLING UP THE LOADS.TELL THEM TO STOP
    4.CHECK I DOC PROCESSING
    5.FINALLY MEMORY ISSUES.
    6.CATCH THE DATA SOURCE FIRST CHANGE IT AND THEN ACTIVATE AND RUN THE LOAD
    7.LAST IS MEMORY ISSUE.
    and also Check the RFC connection in SM59 If  it is ok then
    check the SAP note : 692195 for authorization
