Issues due to the R/3 backend logical name changes

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have an unique situation. We are in the process of the implementing SRM 5.0 and we are encountered a road block.

1. First our basis team created and defined the backend logical systems and we replicated the product cat and product master from R/3.

2. All the org structure is set and we created some bids and live auctions.

3. Due to some system issues and support pack issues, backend logical names were changed now which was not avoidable.

4. The org structure is updated with the new backend names

5. Now the issue is, we cant replicate any more new product categories, product master from backend. Also we are not able to create any new bid invitations or live auctions using the existing product master available in SRM.

6. when we create a new bid invitation, we are getting a error"Product data couldn't not be interpreted".

7. we also used the Tcode BDLS to change the logical system names from the old to new as per SAP documentation but no success.

We need your suggestion to resolve this issue. We are open to any suggestion since this issue is critical.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I was able to resolve this issue with the help of developer by setting a breakpoint in the program. I will later update this thread with more details since our developer is working offshore.

Thanks for your support

Thanks for your reply.

SMOEC - config is set correctly.

1. all the queues and jobs are cancelled

2. All the filters are rebuilt.

Still the I have job stuck in R/3 outbound queue with message"RFC destination is not valid".

I am wondering is there any buffer tables in R/3 which still holds the value of my old RFC destination names for the objects DNL_CUST_BASIS3 and so on.

I reallt appreciate your help.

Hello experts,

Here is my situation now.

I ran the BDLS and changed all the tables with the new logical name and also ran all the correction reports to delete old logical names entries.

Also I cleaned the org structure with new logical name.

Then I started the object "DNL_CUST_PROD1" to bring the product cat from R/3 and then R3AM1 - shows this job is still running. When the checked the queues, it is showing that it has failed in R/3 outbound queue with sysfail message, pointing to note 588701. For me this one doesn't make sense since I cleaned all the tables.

Also I cleaned the CRMPRLS table in R/3 with the new logical system name.

Can you guys help me to understand what exactly going on with my system and where the problem lies.

Also please note these

1. In the R/3 outbound queue, the destination is pointing to itself instead of pointing it to SRM client.

2. I was able to get all of my plants from backend with no issues.

Thanks for your help again

Check the customizing for site (SMOEAC).

That sysfail message sometimes is an indication that you need to rebuild your filters.

1. Kill the process for transferring products.

2. Rebuild filters.

3. Restart transfer.

I was able to resolve the issue of deleting the product master and product category, but some open issues which is not allowing me to replicate the product master and product cat from the newly defined logical systems.

Thanks a lot guys.

This is what I need on top of what you guys have suggested.

1. when I tried to run the program "COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_ALL" it asked for the table entry in the table "COMC_PR_TOOL_REG"

2. Maintained the entry in the table"COMC_PR_TOOL_REG" with the help of basis team.

3. here are the entries i maintaines.

COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_ALL

COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_ALL

COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_API

COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_SINGLE

COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_ALL

COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_SINGLE

4. Then ran these programs individually to delete all the product cat entries and product master entries.

5. Now I need to investgate how to delete all the vendor masters replicated from R/3 and locations(plants) replicated from R/3.

Any suggestions would greatly appreciated.

Hi

Refer to these links.

Delete all Business partners data using BBPMAININT transaction.

Delete all vendors using BBPUPDVD Transaction .

Delete all plants.. by deleting them directly in table BBP_LOCMAP. (not sure a correct way)

No need of building report from scratch, look at note: 765018 - SAP has already created a report ready to use.

Hi

Am not sure if 765018 helps as you have already downloaded materials.

Check the following FM

COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_API

I think you can use COM_PROD_CATEGORY_MAINTAIN to use for deletion as well.

Thanks a lot guys.

We are in the process of building this report suggested by you.

Does this report has option to delete all the existing product cat and product master in SRM, can I start the replication all over again.

Please give me some details about the symptoms and resolutions/correction instructions.

I really appreciate your quick response.

Hi,

I suspect the GUID's between R/3 and SRM is out of sync. One possibility is to write a deletion program on the SRM side to delete materials and then replicate again to sync the GUID's.

You may have to delete Delete GUI of logical system - in SRM as per SAP Note: 765018, there is a z report ZZ_DELETE_CRMMLSGUID may need to run.

Let me know if this helps.
