Hi,

Can anyone please tell me the Step by Step Procedure for standard data source extraction from SRM to BW 3.5.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi Raj,

Unlike R/3 , In SRM we dont need to fill up or setup tables. There are standards extractors available at SRM side and Bi Objects are available with the BI Content. So just do a init and then start with the delta from SRM into BI.

Are you perticular about any data source ? Let me know.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for your reply...

Can you be more clear on

(1) Standard extractors in SRM.

(2) Can you provide the detailed steps taking Shopping Cart DataSources datasource as example.

Regards.

Hi,

Datasources avilable in different SRM versions, they please go through the note 614940

SAP NOTE 955804 Also check

SRM Business Content information:

Go through the below link -- spend analysis -data sources

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/0b/f7d23c7f8eb55be10000000a114084/frameset.htm

DataSources

New DataSources have been created for NW 2004s BI Content Add-On 2 and SRM 5.0. These are described here, along with their extraction logic.

The following graphic shows the data flow from the DataSources to the DataStore objects

Structure

Each DataSource has an extraction structure and a data extractor. Generally, this is an RFC-capable function module.

There are two types of extraction: Specific extraction and generic extraction:

Specific extraction is strongly oriented towards the data model of the BI System and the necessary extract structure. It executes DataSource-specific processing steps.

The logic contained within the generic extraction is implemented centrally and can therefore be reused by the specific extraction modules. The generic extraction deals with access to the SRM database and is similar for each DataSource.

Generic and specific extraction

Extraction logic in detail

Data extraction involves the following six function modules:

InitLoad

InitLoad is called as soon as an initial upload is started in the BI System. In other words, it is executed when data is loaded into the BI System for the first time. The module can restrict the data extraction according to filter criteria that were defined in BI during extraction (for example, extract the data for a particular timeframe). InitLoad packages the data before it is transferred to the BI System.

DeltaLoad

DeltaLoad is called when a document is modified in the SRM System. The module writes data that has accumulated since the initial loading to a delta queue.

Data Collector

The Collector reads the required data from the database in the source system. For performance reasons, the data is then buffered in system-internal tables. The tables have the same structure as in the database. This saves time and effort, because data conversion is kept to a minimum.

Data Consolidator

The Consolidator groups data that belongs together from a business point of view. The consolidated data is stored in internal tables and is prepared for further processing.

Data Normalizer

The Denormalizer prepares the source data for the BI System. It calculates key figures that are required for the report but are not contained on the database and converts data types in the source system to data types of the BI System. Depending on the BI data model, the system now decides how each row is filled with data.

Data Mapper

During mapping of the data, the system defines which fields of the denormalized data structure are assigned to the fields of the extract structure. In this way, flat and one-dimensional lines are generated from the data.

The following table shows the technical names of the function modules of the individual DataSources:

Hi,

Do we use mostly GENERIC EXTRACTION for extraction from SRM to SAP BW 3.5?
