How to install Logistics Cockpit Datasources

In this exercise you will learn the following:

1. Activating LO-Cockpit related Datasource (RSA5)2. Changing/Modifying this datasource (RSA6)3. Activating Update for this datasource (LBWE)4. Checking through extractor checker (RSA3)5. Filling and deleting data in set up table (OLI*BW, and LBWG)6. Enhancing Datasource7. Replicate Datasource in BW8. Connecting to Infosource

9. Delta mechanism; job control and Update Modes

Instructor will assign you one datasource to work on. This datasource is also marked in

one transaction called LBWE in R/3. You can access this transaction from your BW IMG(SBIW).

Activating Datasource from Business ContentFind your Datasource in transaction RSA5 or SBIW > Business Content Datasources >

Transfer business content datasource

Execute

Click on find to select datasource name or part name (Do not use * while searching)


2/41


Use transfer Datasource button to create a copy of delivered version. This creates an

active version for you to work on (Modify or delete).


3/41


Setup Update active in transaction LBWE or, click on Logistics extraction structure

cockpit from SBIW


4/41


Click on execute


5/41


Modify DataSource

Run Transaction RSA6 or, use SBIW > Post Processing of Datasource > Edit DatasourceKeep cursor on your datasource and click on change datasource.

Before you do that let us talk about one more thing; how to add more fields (enhanceextract structures) and also to write user exit (function enhancement). Look on to this

screen, you can answer that question. Please also refer to business content Datasource

exercise that was provided to you before.Can I extend datasource in SE11 for extract structure (that is always there)?

Can I use other functionality to add more fields without using enhance extract structure?

Yes, you can in the case of LO-Cockpit Datasources, keep reading this paper.


6/41


Make selection, hide, inversion, and field known in exit as necessary, Save.

What are these options, please discuss in class.


7/41



8/41


Run datasource with test extraction or use RSA3


9/41



10/41


If you find data, means someone has already field setup table for you. We need to delete

data from set up table.


11/41


12/41


Find your application from drop down box and execute


13/41



14/41


System gives you a confirmation message about data deletion


15/41


Setup Tables delete successfully

Check RSA3 to get zero records, we are back to normal mode of operation


16/41


Fill the set up table

Click on Perform set up for your application in SBIW under managing extract structure,see below


17/41


Use new run, name of run and data of termination (you can use tomorrows date)Which transaction brought you to current screen (OLI*BW)


18/41



19/41



20/41


Run program in background


21/41



22/41


You will get a message that Background job was scheduled for programRMCVNEUA

Use extractor checker to see that your data is coming through ok


23/41



24/41



25/41



26/41


See the log for your data transfer from table of origin to set up table

Use transaction NPRT or click on LIS setup log in SBIW


27/41



28/41



29/41


Adding more fields to your extract structure (without using functionality enhance

extract structure)

Before you do this, make sure data is deleted from set up table (or use transactionLBWG)

Use transaction LBWE or path below in SBIW


30/41


Click on Maintenance by side of your datasource

It will open a pop-up screen. Left hand side is your extract structure; right side is calledcommunication structure (this has nothing to do with communication structure in BW

that we are familiar with). You can add more fields from right side. If you click on All

box up, this gives you some idea where your data might be coming from. You will seestructure names like MCVBAK etc. Your table of origin is VBAK for such example.

32/41



33/41



34/41


You need to activate your datasource once again. Click on Inactive by side of your

datasource


35/41



36/41


Click on datasource to generate datasource

Does not this screen look like RSA6?The field for agreement is hidden; please remove the checks for HIDE and only known

for exits


37/41


Generate Datasource

Fill set up table as indicated below


38/41



39/41


Use transaction RSA3 to check datasource


40/41


Please do the following steps in suggested in exercise before. This part is similar to other

transaction datasource/InfoSource.1. Replicate datasource in BW2. Activate/Create InfoSource in BW3. Assign datasource4. Create InfoPackage5. Load data with Initialization of delta and full update to make sure, you understand

this part.

This needs one piece of configuration in R/3, in transaction LBWE. This functionality is

given though Job Control and Update mode (per application)
