Debug an Upload Error

[Former Member]

Dear Sir,

Since I am a newbie to SAP BIW i need a help from you gurus.

If there is an error in uploading in BIW how can we debug it, for eg. I do delta update from CRM into BW server, and in one of the field there is a special character in CRM which is not allowed in BW, so it throws an error which can be traced in BW Monitor, but how can we debug in BIW to find out where the exact error is, I mean to say at which transaction no or activity no in CRM the error field is.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sandeep,

Look at the following topic in this forum:

Hope it helps,

Hi,

The thread above is only applicable for Transfer Rules that has an ABAP Routine on the field (since you just insert an endless loop inside it and debug using SM50).

What if you have a direct map and you wanted to debug w/c records are problematic?

Dear Andreu,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

But my question was actually the same which Jkyle has put forward.

I have a direct mapping with one of the CRM field, and there is an error in the entry part in the CRM field, due to which BW gives me an error , then how can i come to know where exactly in CRM,(which Activity No. and field) the error is.

Thanks ,

Hi Sandeep,

I think that we can debug the update rules[ even for the 1-1 mapping] at the PSA. By selecing the PSA simulate option when u right click on the data request at the psa level, which simulates the data in the communication structure and the data in the data target. hope this'll help u in finding the error.
