SAP Data Services using LSMW for data migration into SAP ERP

February 18, 2016, 8:02 am

Hi all,

 

In our last roll out project we used LSMW for DMIG into SAP ERP.


Now, IT department has adquired SAP Data Services and we are forced to use it.

 

Actually for the new country roll out we just wanted to re-use all our LSMW projects, but now we have to place SAP DS for ET and LSMW for L.

 

I have made some assumptions and perhaps someone can confirm if my understanding is correct.

 

1. SAP DS will extract and transform and leave the files on the Server where LSWM will pick them up for loading.

 

2. Since Transform will be moved from LSWM to SAP DS we have to assign a  MOVE 1:1 conversion for all fields in LSMW (step "Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules".

 

3. I am afraid we cannot reuse the conversion rules by copy&paste from LSMW to SAP DS.

 

Therefore I would like to check all conversion types used our  LSMW-Projects:

 

1. Translation Conversion tables

 

I guess I have to recreate the conversion tables we used in LSMW as a permanent DB table in MySQL or as a Excel file and Import it in the SAP DS Designer thru a datastore, right?

 

2. Fixed values / Constants

 

In SAP DS in the Queries I have to apply coding in the correspoding fields of the Schema Out, right?

Is there an alternative to the hard coding in SAP DS? If I use a fix value for our principal Company code BUKRS and some day this value changes I do not want to go in SAP DS to each dataflow query and replace it...

 

3. Translations: ABAP coding

 

We have lots of ABAP coding in our LSMW programs. Principally it checks against 1-2 customizing tables in SAP ERP and retrieves the right value.

For example: go with the old customer number to KNA1 and get the new customer number and the take from another table KNVV (or something like that) and retriebe the contact Person Name: Migrate this contact Person name.

 

So if we take the complete coding out of LSMW in SAP ERP and place it into SAP DS in a Transform (using SAP DS Scripting Language or Python)

which kind of transform should I use and how do I make the connection for this calls to SAP ERP? Do I use a SAP_target datastore? or is there something like a RFC-enabled function module in SAP DS that I can trigger to retrieve the required info from the SAP ERP System?

 

Or should I try to convince the managment to leave all ABAP conversion coding in LSMW in SAP ERP?

 

I hope this challange calls the attention of someone. There should be more than my project where LSMW will be replaced by SAP DS. .

I checked for existing positngs on this but could not found the ansers to my questions.

 

Thanks for any recommendation.

Hi

 

I created a new datastore in BODS local repository to connect to our QA CRM environment. I was able to import some tables but not able to view data for table BUT000. I checked in SAP logon with my userid and was able to see the table data in SE16 transaction.

 

 

Error calling RFC function to get table data: <RFC_ABAP_EXCEPTION-(Exception_Key: DATA_BUFFER_EXCEEDED, SY-MSGTY: E, SY-MSGID: FL, SY-MSGNO: 046, SY-MSGV1: /BODS/RFC_READ_TABLE)>.

Performance issue: how to find the bottleneg?

Hi there,

 

I just started with SAP DS and have a performance issue in my dataflow.

 

In SAP ERP I would run a trace (transaction ST05) to see which process takes most time.

 

Where can check the performance issue in SAP DS?

 

In the "interactive debugger" or in the "trace log" or somewhere else?

 

Thanks and regards,

DS Management Console: Data Validation: There is no data available

Hi,

 

I have created a job with a data flow containing a VALIDATION transform.
and put one simple rule

 

If the COUNTRY-field value is unequal DE then go to FAIL-File.

If the COUNTRY-field value is equal DE then go to Pass-File.

 

Job works fine.

I see the failed records in the right file and in rule-violation.

 

When I execute the job I marked in the pop up:

 

X collect statistics for optimization

X collect statistics for monitoring

 

Then I expected to see something in the Data Services Management Console under DATA VALIDATION.

However it loads a while and then displaysthe message "There is no data available".

 

Tried it several times.

 

Which setting is missing here?

 

Thank,

Error when calling BODS as a Web Service

February 24, 2016, 12:14 pm

I have created a Python process that calls a JOB from the data service (BODS).

 

I am able to call the authentication job, and it returns me a SessionID. Than with the session ID, I call a job service. Later I poll every X seconds this service to see if it has finished or not.

 

Sometimes, it works like a charm. The job runs and I am able to poll for the results.

 

MOST OF THE TIME, the server simply returns different problems (job not found, sessionID not valid, etc). Five seconds later, the process try again and it randomly works, with same code, call, sessionID, all.

 

Below an example of the error XML.

 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>     <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">          <soapenv:Body>               <soapenv:Fault>                    <faultcode>Sender</faultcode>                    <faultstring>Web Services security enabled and session validation failed.  Error: Invalid sessionID supplied in soap request.</faultstring>               </soapenv               <soapenv:Fault>          </soapenv:Body>     </soapenv:Envelope>

 

Can someone explain me this instability? How could I check what is happening? Any log or evidence of why the error occurred?

 

Thanks

I remember using the SAP delivered standard ATL files at another client. There was a DVD and all the ATL files are on the DVD.  The DVD is related to the SAP RDS "rapid deployment solutions" packages.    But I don't have the DVD # anymore.   Anyone has this information?  It will save tons of development time.   Specifically I am looking for Utilities-specific ATL files but the other ATL files will help in my future projects as well. Thank you guys.

I have a problem when I send IDOCs to DS in a batch job.

I generate the idoc file in sap (t-code WE63) and I have fill the field Idoc file into the idcoc box in data services. Well, when I execute I receive this error:

Best practice data migration templates

Hi,

 

I am looking for the data migration templates for migration to ERP/CRM.

My requirement is slightly different- I am currently not migrating to ERP or CRM but I know these templates are extremely useful as examples for other data migration as well.

 

I attended a training course about data migration with Data Services several years ago when this solution was just being offered.

The templates for data mapping (Excel files) and the pre-configured Data Services jobs were very complete, robust and easy to use.

At the time, these templates could all be downloaded on SCN.

 

It looks like this solution is now offered as the Best Practice / Rapid Deployment Solution for Data Migration for ERP/CRM.

The content is available for download, and I have just downloaded a 25Mb documentation file.

This file does not contain the actual configuration files (atl files) or Excel mapping spreadsheets. The complete solution can also be downloaded, but the combined size of the three files is nearly 3GB.

 

My question is what is the easiest way to get the atl files, Excel mapping templates (and perhaps some documentation about the atl files). Do I really have to install the complete RDS solution or is there a shortcut?

 

Thanks,

 

Jan.

Hi All,

 

Could you please help me for the below question:

 

I have BODS job whose source is flat-file and target is HANA in between followed by query transformation, table Comparison and map operation.

 

Flat-File > Query Transformation > Table Comparison > Map Operation > HANA

 

Now I don't want to process the job when the flat file is empty, but it should be successful.

 

Can we have any new mechanism  for not using the Table Comparison and Map Operations.

 

Can I have any suggestion for the successful execution.

 

NOTE: File will be placed by SAP MDM.

Data Services Repository tables - job GUID

Hello.

 

I am interested in the possibilities of reading the job_GUID from the metadata repository tables. I am aware that there is the table AL_SCHED_INFO, but this requires adding a schedule to the job. There is also AL_HISTORY_INFO and ALVW_HISTORY, but this requires running the job.

 

My question is: is it possible to find the job_GUID from the metadata repository assuming that the job has never been run and does not have a schedule?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I'm trying to send email from BODS using SMTP_TO / MAIL_TO functions. The message that I'm trying to send is as below:

 

<html>

  <head>

  </head>

  <body>

    <table style="background-color:black;">

      <tr>

        <td>

          <label style="background-color:white;">Test HTML email</label>

        </td>

      </tr>

    </table>

  </body>

</html>

 

When I receive the email, I'm receiving just the above text AS IS. I would like to receive it in a HTML format which should say just say "Test HTML email" with a black background. Is there anyway to accomplish this in Data Services?
