Delete DSO Change Logs in Process Chain not working in BW 7.40

Hi Everyone - We recently discovered that DSO change logs are not being deleted in the process chain we have that runs weekly.  We're not sure when this started but we upgraded to 7.4 in May.  I've looked at other discussions  on this, but nothing I have found helps us.

 

I've checked table RSTSODS to ensure that User Application = 'CHANGELOG'.  This is a 7.x DSO and manually deleting them from the manage screen -> Environment -> Delete Change Log Data does work, but this is not ideal. We ran program RSAR_PSA_CLEANUP_DIRECTORY and there were no issues.

 

Here is our deletion variant:

Here is the log from the last run:

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Source System connection issue

Hi BW/BI Experts,

 

We are facing a peculiar issue in our development system. Some of the DataSources are pointing towards a old logical SAP R/3 source system, this system does not exist now. In place of it a new system came in. Now the problem is we are notable to perform any maintenance, enhancement activity on them. our Basis tried to perform BDLS but it went wrong  and all he Transformation went off in inactive mode and more over all the ABAP development also went off. So we have restored the system back to the previous state.

 

How ever now we have have to change the pointer for the Data Source from old source system to new.

Please suggest what should be the approach now.

 

Thanks in Advance...

our system was fine until recently we were successfully able to import transports for BI objects ( DSO, Process chains etc). this is an APO system with BW7.02 level 10

 

now all the transports containing these objects fail and DDIC user gets locked in the target system with short dumps

 

" Error in remote call of destination  xxxTCLNT500- for process chain transports 

no authorization to log on as a trusted system L-RC=0  T-RC=2)  - short dumps for USER DDIC

 

 

for DSO we are getting failures for generate export datasource

 

 

 

is there a way to avoid this user DDIC as it should be used in 000 only .  but we are getting this in 500 client

Upgrade to SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3x

 

Upgrade to SAP BW 7.40

Maintenance Planner – The Next Generation Tool for Landscape Maintenance

 

ASU Toolbox (incl. BW Specific Content) and BW Upgrade pre/post Task List
With the ASU (application specific upgrade) toolbox, customers get one single truth for all pre/post upgrade steps regarding the technical upgrade to SAP BW 7.0x  and all following releases.
More detailed information about the ASU toolbox can be found in note 1000009. This tool has been available since 2008 (see the TechEd Presentation and the new Upgrade to SAP BW 7.30 Presentation) has been enhanced and now allows application specific and technical resources to work together for a successful upgrade to SAP BW 7.30
With SAP NetWeaver 7.30 JAVA, the Functional Unit Configuration UI (former CTC BI-JAVA Template) is available.
New:
Together with the BW Housekeeping Task List,there are also additional Task Lists available to simplify preparation of the application-specific part.
Implement the following SAP Note to enable usage of task list SAP_BW_BEFORE_UPGRADE via transaction STC01
(contains manual report ZNOTE_1734333_PRE_70x/ZNOTE_1734333_PRE_70x, and NO automated steps applied with SNOTE)
With the release of SAP BW 7.30 new and innovative capabilities have been added to SAP's EDW premium solution. SAP BW 7.30 as the backbone for a successful usage of SAP BusinessObjects Platform and SAP Business Warehouse Accelerator - BWA is the heart of the SAP Business Intelligence Architecture. The updated presentation SAP NetWeaver 7.0x - Upgrade to SAP NetWeaver 7.30 ABAP BW (full version with complete technical details) provided you with must-know delta information to quickly and effective upgrade to SAP BW 7.30 including existing information from the resources of this page and the updates for SAP NetWeaver 7.30 EhP1 (7.31).

 

See also the changes to the existing BEx Versions 3.5 and 7.x after Upgrade to BW 7.30 or 7.31
Be sure to read these notes prior to the technical upgrade in order to prevent any unwanted incompatibilities or unforeseen changes.

BW ABAP and BI-JAVA Installation

The Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 (SWPM) can be used to install all SAP NetWeaver 7.30 based instances onwards. See the details of the Software Logistics Toolset 1.0 here.

 

See SAP NetWeaver BW Installation/Configuration (also on HANA). This document also includes the complete SAP BW basis customizing settings, together with an example configuration of the system parameter. The guidance raises no claim to completeness.
New: It is now possible to install the ABAP CI as well on the HANA Appliance!

     SAP HANA Blog - SAP BW on HANA on one server

     BW_HANA_MCOD_s.JPG

See all SAP First Guidance Documents here -SAP BW on SAP HANA First Guidance Collection

 

With the release of SAP NetWeaver 7.30 all previous J2EE stacks are now synchronized in one platform. BI JAVA 7.30 is still available with the usage type BI-JAVA to connect to an existing SAP BW 7.30 stack for the classical usage of BEx Web or the native dashboards (former Xcelsius). The presentation SAP NetWeaver 7.30 – BI JAVA Implementation shows the new SAP NetWeaver 7.30 installation and configuration options with the functional unit configuration UI (former CTC BI-Java Template) All informations are also valid vor SAP NetWeaver 7.30 EhP1 (7.31).
Technical configuration is an elementary part of setting up and operating SAP system landscapes. For example, you have to perform initial technical configuration to bring a newly installed system into operation. But also during the lifecycle of an SAP system, technical parameters have to be set and adapted.

 

SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - Deinstalling Java Add-In (also valid for SAP NetWeaver 7.30 JAVA Add-In)
The separation of the dualstack (ABAP and JAVA in one instance) into two separate stacks is a SAP recommendation. An option available since SAP NetWeaver BW 7.0 is the de-installation of the Java Add-In with SAPInst. This presentation provides details and guidance about the process to prepare for upgrade to SAP NetWeaver BW 7.30, concentrating on the ABAP stack.

 

As a successor for most scenarios, we offer the combined export of the Java system, de-installation of the Java Add-In and installation of a new Java system using the dual-stack split tool available as part of the SL toolset 1.0 (SP05). For more information, see "Dual-Stack Split".

 

If you are running SAP NetWeaver 7.30 JAVA Add-In you can use the software provisioning manager 1.0 (SWPM) as part of the SL toolset for the de-installation process, as this always contains the latest software components (Note 1680045). Note that the dual split process is not supported for SAP NetWeaver 7.30 systems (Note 1655335)

 

With SAP NetWeaver 7.3x JAVA the Functional Unit Configuration UI (former CTC BI-JAVA Template) is available

 

In Advance check the WebAS/SSO Settings after the Upgrade to NetWeaver 7.3x. The settings are almost identical to NetWeaver BW 7.0x

Migration to SAP BW on SAP HANA

DMO is an option of SUM (Software Update Manager) for a combined update and migration: update an existing SAP system to a higher Software Release and migrate to SAP HANA database including the unicode conversion of the source database. The procedure is only available for systems based on AS ABAP, hence the executable SAPup is used in background. DMO migrates from an existing relational database type (“anyDB”) to SAP HANA. Software Update Manager (SUM) is the tool for system maintenance: Release upgrades, EHP implementation, applying SP stacks.

SAP NetWeaver BW Near Line Storage solution (NLS) based on Sybase IQ

Improve decision-making capabilities by bringing unprecedented performance to SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse with SAP HANA for current data and SAP Sybase IQ for historical data— achieving the perfect balance of cost and performance. The adapter for Sybase IQ as a near-line solution is delivered with the BW system. Integration of Sybase IQ makes it possible for you to separate data that you access frequently from data that you access rarely, thus making fewer demands on the resources in the BW system. The near-line data is stored in compressed form. You can thus reduce the costs incurred by data that is accessed less frequently.

 

To reduce downtime for your production landscape, one of the recommended migration paths of SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (SAP NetWeaver BW) to SAP NetWeaver BW on SAP HANA comprises a system copy of your SAP NetWeaver BW system. The system copy procedure of SAP NetWeaver BW systems and landscapes is complex for a number of reasons however. A large number of configuration settings are involved for example (such as connections and delta queue handling for data loading), as well as system copy scenarios of SAP NetWeaver BW (each with different landscape aspects) that have to be handled as part of every system copy, regardless of whether the system copy is part of the migration to SAP HANA or you want to perform regular system copies of your SAP NetWeaver BW landscape.

 

To achieve this, SAP NetWeaver Landscape Virtualization Management offers preconfigured "task lists" used by the ABAP task manager for lifecycle management automation.
You can also enable SAP BW powered by SAP HANA to “go productive” with parallel operation of your existing production system, both connected to the same back-end systems. This is achieved with a special and unique automated solution for delta queue cloning and synchronization on production systems.
SAP Note 886102 (SMP login required) thus becomes obsolete. Using the post-copy automation for SAP BW (BW PCA) in the migration process of SAP BW to SAP BW on SAP HANA, this process can be shortened by weeks and becomes easier, faster and more reliable.

 

The presentation Teched 2012 - Session EIM300  illustrates the migration to SAP BW on SAP HANA from an end-to-end perspective.
Please Note that since Q1/2014 the Presentation - Migration to BW on HANA - First Guidance concludes all of these manual efforts now.

 

 

 

eim301_pic5.JPG

SAP BW System Copy

 

Since Release 7.30 SP05, it is now possible to perform a heterogenous system copy (incuding unicode migration) to migrate existing systems based on SAP  BW 7.30 SP05 and higher to SAP BW on SAP HANA (HDB) based systems.
With this major step forward, a new procedure called "Post Copy Automation (BW PCA)" now supports customers with what can often be complex post-steps before and after the homogenous/heterogenous BW system copy. This presentation is the delta information to the existing document "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - BW Systemcopy ABAP" shown above. The technical Improvements with the leaner data model provides advantages with BW on HANA too.
To ease this generic step of BW system copy, a new procedure called "BW Post Copy automation (BW PCA)" is available, which supports customer now in the complex pre and post steps during the homogeneous/heterogeneousBW system copy (information from the SAP ALM group) procedure.
Please note that these procedure can be used independently from your BW and Database Version starting fromNetWeaver 7.0x

 

 

 

We distinguish between two use cases explained in the FAQ for BW-PCA:
- initial copy based on an existing original BW system and connected BW source systems
  Task Lists - SAP_BW_COPY_INITIAL_PREPARE (BW systems only)
   andSAP_BW_BASIS_COPY_INITIAL_CONFIG
- refresh of an existing system based on an existing BW system and connected BW source systems
  Task List - SAP_BW_BASIS_COPY_REFRESH_CONFIG

 

Updating to the minimum level of the mentioned Support Stacks is recommended to minimize the manual effort.

For both cases the BW-PCA Tasklists support the customer together with the software provisioning manager 1.0 (SWPM) in these software lifecycle management tasks. BW-PCA is embedded in the SAP NetWeaver Landscape Virtualization Management

BW Housekeeping Tasks

 

In this session, you will learn about various housekeeping activities that should be part of the operational concept of your Enterprise Data Warehouse. These housekeeping activities will support you in removing unwanted and unneeded data as well as unused metadata. Scheduling these activities regularly in the system will ensure optimum utilization of system resources while at the same time increasing the overall system performance.

 

New: SAP First Guidance - SAP BW Housekeeping and BW-PCA

 

(contains manual steps ZNOTE_1829728_PRE_70x/ZNOTE_1829728_PRE_73x, and automated steps applied with SNOTE)
The newly released Housekeeping Task List (Pre/Post Steps) allows you to automate mandatory tasks prior to upgrade/migration with DMO to ensure the quality of the migration process and the health of your BW System.

Hello

 

I have an issue where the value of info object 0crm_exprev is incorrect in the psa layer of BW data source 0crm_opp_h

When testing the extractor (rsa3) on CRM side the correct value is returned

When checking the data in the data in the psa layer in BW the value is missing 2 digits for currency KRW.

This causes incorrect reporting on local and converted currencies...

 

Where is this value getting converted when pulling the data into BW?

The currency tables between CRM and BW are synchronized/equal...

 

Any idea's, angles I should look at

 

Thanks

Hello Experts,

 

I need your inputs on the below issue.


Process chain runs every day at 4:00 IST(Average run time is 20 min).

 

Process chain flow:
IP àDTP(DSO)à Activation à DTP (DSO)  à Activation à OHD(Open Hub)
And yesterday around 5:52 IST DTP marked in red above started automatically and all the sub-sequent steps also completed and open hub sent 2 files which is not supposed to be.  

 

  • I could see process chain logs for yesteray only once at 4.00 IST
  • Info package has only ran for yesterday at 4.00 IST and hardly it has run for 1 min there is no chance that it ran for long time and back up job started and later it got completed.
  • This DTP is part of only this chain and not part of any other chain


I have checked SCN and couldn’t find related posts. Could any one explain/help me what caused to start the DTP here and also suggest me how to search OSS notes exactly for this.


Your immediate answer is helpful/appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

 

Regards,

We changed the RSODSO_SETTINGS  by increasing the wait time for activation to 600 secs from 300 secs and package size was kept at 20000. The total number of records getting updated is 65000. We also checked the memory in SM50, there is enough memory available for the load.

 

Any idea how this can be resolved?

BEX, perfomance problems

July 14, 2015, 8:42 am

Hi all,

we have problems with perfomance of bex queries.

BW 7.4, Windows+MSSQL

 

The main question:

We can see on server that query execution takes 100% оf 1 core, but other cores are totally free.

Is there any setting in BW or Basis which allows 1 dialog process to use several cores or all free cores?

 

The second question is about statistic of running query in RSRT:

Event IDEvent TextDurationCounterEvent Counter
9000Data Manager98,997000024
3110OLAP: Data Selection0,22800001
3200OLAP: Data Transfer0,1410002 2581

9010Total DBTRANS0,0000008 3711
9011Total DBSEL0,0000001 435 7401

 

Step 9000 takes extremly large time. What is doing ln that step? Is it reading data from DB or some post-processing, aggregation etc?

And in general, how can I undestand what is the "narrowest" place? All nesessary aggregates are made of infocubes. This query has about 30 key figures and takes data from 3-6 infocubes (depending on report period) and 1 dso. But perfomance problems are on the whole system, not only on this report.
