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.
