© SAP AG 2000 LO Extraction Cockpit (Nicolai Unterbarnscheidt BW RIG Europe) / 10

11. Benefits (1) : Performance & Volume
Detailed Extraction
Extraction can be deactivated (e.g. Schedule Line Data)
leads to leaner extractors with less volume
Document Changes
only BW-relevant data changes will be updated
(less upload volume)
LIS-Tables are not updated
reduced data volume due to avoided redundancy
Update with Batch-Process (V3)
no load on daily business
© SAP AG 2000 LO Extraction Cockpit (Nicolai Unterbarnscheidt BW RIG Europe) / 11

12. Benefits (2) : Usability
No LIS-Functionality
no LIS-Know How necessary
Functional Enhancements
easy to be done
LO Extraction Cockpit:
central, uniform maintenance tool
for logistics applications

13. Benefits (3) : Others
No (Design-)Problems with transfer-structures
no technical restrictions as in LIS (SAPNet-Note 121196)
No Delta-Tables (SnnnBIW1/-2)

14. Procedure
© SAP AG 2000 LO Extraction Cockpit (Nicolai Unterbarnscheidt BW RIG Europe) / 14

15. How does it work in general?
Procedure
1. Activate DataSource
2. Maintain Extract Structure
 (you cannot create new Extract Structures!)
3. Generate DataSource / Repl. DataSource
4. Activate Extract Structure
 5. Delete Setup tables
 6. Check Extractor Update (optional)
 7. Perform Extractor Setup
8. Define periodic V3 update jobs
. Create InfoPackage in BW for initialization
.. Create InfoPackage in BW for periodic Delta
9. Delete Initialization Table ‘LBWG’

19. Field Selection for Extract-Structure 
 Grouped by Communication structure (CS)
 SAP Standard Extract Structures can be
enhanced (user appends on CS are available
here)
 Missing fields like units and compound
characteristics will be filled automatically

21. Batch-Job to make data available for BW 
Background
 System collects data for later
processing to avoid heavy load during
business hours
 Job needs to be scheduled to define
when collected data shell be
processed
 Only processed data can be accessed
by BW
 parallel postings possible
Actions
 Define job parameters
 Schedule batch jobs for updating Extract Structure  DataSource
© SAP AG 2000 LO Extraction Cockpit (Nicolai Unterbarnscheidt BW RIG Europe) / 21

22. Batch-Job to make data available for BW
Considerations
 Need to be specified per application (e.g. Sales Order Processing)
 Can run as often as deltas are required in BW (or more often)
 Has to be finished before delta-extraction can be started in BW
It might be reasonable to trigger extraction from R/3 (note:135637 )
 Consider impacts on the size of ARFC-Buffer
 V3 Update is not used for the initialization
Stability
 During the Job runs DB-Commits will be performed every 1000 calls
 i.e. if the system crashes there will always be a rollback
 If an error occurs during the update to the delta-queue no Log is written
 the only error which has occured so far is due to extract-stucture changes (see Caveats)

23. Tracking

24. Tools to check the data flow
Data Updates  Simulation
 Some Applications support Logs for Setup (e.g. SD)
 Extraction Log
 Log for last processed Document
User Parameter: MCL=X
Transaction : LBWF (shows the data being updated)
Data-Queues  Update Queue
 Transaction : SM13 (shows the data being updated)
Doubleclick on MCEX_UPDATE_XX to see data
 Delta Queue
 Transaction: RSA7
(shows to be transfered data (delta) for a DataSource and a
Targetsystem)

30. Caveats
Notes Solution
 Incorrect DataSource  First activate DataSource
before you customize
 Difficulties when deleting  Apply PI 2000.1 Patch 3
append structure
 No user defined fields  Apply PI 2000.1 Patch 3
available
 Activation terminates after  Apply PI 2000.1 Patch 3
assignment of new fields
 be careful with SD-  consider Notes
Initialization in Batch 201207, 328534
© SAP AG 2000 LO Extraction Cockpit (Nicolai Unterbarnscheidt BW RIG Europe) / 30

31. Caveats
 Change to Extract Structure during operation (Note: 328181)
 avoid postings / updates during the following changes
 empty update-queue (SM13) with V3-Update-Job
 empty Delta-Queue (RSA7) by extracting data
 change extract structure
 data of a former initialization run cannot be used anymore
(delete data with LBWG and perform a new initialization if necessary)
 old extraction log is no longer available
 Multiple usage of units in Extract Structure - SD (Note: 316288)
