Basics...

47 Views

Hi gurus - I have a long chain of questions.. (possibly dumb ones. But please clariy for me..

q1.

I am trying to set-up a bw sandbox. The basis team says they have established all the RFCs for bw and r/3 and settings for the flat-files from pc too. I want to know what are the steps I should be following in bw for making it possible to to extract data from flat files and r/3.

This is a fresh install so we don't have the luxury of having a production copy data for this.

What's the step-by-step procedure to set up extraction for SD,FI & MM.

(In BW data sources, what is the difference between

SAP APPLICATION COMPONENTS & SAP R/3 APPLICATION COMPONENTS.. (some fields show up in more than one node)

q2.

I am trying to load an object Zdistr_chan from 0distr_chan(from r/3). I have created an direct update infosource

and tried to assign a r/3 datasource. It listed out all the available datasources but 0distr_chan wasn't found ?

How should I proceed ?

q3.

What is the significance of a '+'/'-'/'Mark' mark against a datasource.

q4.

I find master attr in more than one place. Where and how should I check if this datasource has been assigned to another

user ?

0material_attr:

\SAP\Application Components\Application Components\Logistics\Master data Logistics in general

\SAP\SAP Application Components\Logistics - General\Logistics Master Data

what is the difference between the above two ?

q5.

If I make an inofobject as an infoprovider will I be able to make it again as an infoobject ?

q6.

I have created a infoobject IOMAT with no attributes (with medium text). I am trying to load it with r/3 data. I have created the infosource and while trying to assign the datasource (attr & text), there is a message:

ConvExits for assigned InfoObjects inconsistent

ALPHA (KS) - MATN1(TS)

Where can I look for conversion exits and the explanation of the error ?

In transfer rules, how do I specify if it's a direct transfer without any modifications of if it's not direct transfer requiring more manipulation.

q7.

I am trying to assign a r/3 datasource for an object I have created (IOMAT with content attributes 0matl_cat,0matl_type & 0Division) and medium text.

When I give the two datasources 0material_attr & text,

everything goes fine for 0material_attr. But for 0material_text, there is an error message "Error when writing routines"

Is there something I am missing.

Please let me know how should I go about it.

Thanks.
