Urgent: BW 3.5 Critical issue

[Former Member]

Guys,

I am facing a critical technical issue in my BW 3.5 implementation project(Blue-print phase). My client was using R/3 4.6 from 2001 to April 2005 then upgraded to R/3 4.7 Version.

Problem is,client wants all the report(Analysis/Planning) should show data comprising from both the versions.

Example: Lets say one report is there for analysis of sales at different plant starting from year 2004 to 2006. Then report will have to fetch data for 2004 and 2005 from 4.6 version then 2006 data will be fetched from version 4.7,

One important point to mention here is R/3 4.6 systems data is idle now. So it would be a one time job at cube level to transfer data and it will be user further.

Please suggest me the best way to handle the situation, so that we can proceed in our blueprint phase. Its damn urgent for me for this implementation project.

Thanks in advance

Rithika,

Here you need to load data from the older version of R/3 to BW structures(ODS and cubes). The same ODS's and cubes should be used to load the data from 2006 onwards. Since loading data from 4.6 is one time activity you can open two source systems and load the dat till 2006 first and then use the other source system to load data from 2006.

And I belive it doesn't make much difference while reporting.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Venkat,

Thanks for your reply but problem is here at this client site. Client has configured the SD and other module's mapping at functional level quite differently for e.g. In 4.6 version they were maintaining the data in various purchase organizations but when they upgraded it to 4.7 then they maintain all data in to single purchase organization.

There are lots of configuration changes has been done in upgradatio project at MM,PP,SD,FI,CO functional level. So same modeling won't work for both the version.
