Extractors for First Time Using

Queued Delta

Applies to:
Delta-setup process for LO Extractors. For more information, visit the Business Intelligence homepage.

Summary
This Article summarizes the complete process for setting up the delta process for LO Cockpit. This article
discusses, how to delete setup table, how to set up Initialization, how to set up delta Jobs in SAP R/3.
There are various approaches in which the delta setup can be achieved for LO Cockpit. Our article discusses
one of those various approaches .This approach discussing the process when you set up delta process for
the very first time

Setting up Delta Process for LO Extractors for First Time Using Queued Delta

What are Set-up Tables

Set up table is a cluster table that is used to extract data from R/3 tables of same application. The use of
setup table is to store your data in them before updating to the target system. Once you fillup the setup
tables with the data, you need not go to the application tables again and again which in turn will increase
your system performance.

We have to fill the setup tables in LO by using OLI*BW or also by going to SBIW- Settings for
Application-Specific Data Sources->Logistics->Managing Extract Structures->Initialization->Filling in
Setup tables-Application specific setup table of statistical data

We can delete the setup tables also by using LBWG code. You can also delete setup
tablesapplication wise by going to SBIW-> Settings for Application-Specific Data Sources>Logistics->Managing Extract Structures->Initialization->Delete the Contents of the Setup Table

Applications in LO cockpit do need filling up of setup tables and deleting setup tables

Filling up of setup tables is only for initial loads

Technical Name of Setup table is Extractstruc-setup for example suppose Data source name
2LIS_11_VAHDR. And extract structure name is MC11VA0HDR then setup table name will be
MC11VA0HDRSETUP.

Various Type of Delta Options

Queued Delta : Extraction data from the application will be collected in an extraction queue before
transferred into delta queue

Direct Delta : In this Method each document posting the data is transferred into Delta Queue from
application table

Unserialized V3 Updates : Direct delta method, for each document posting the data is transferred
into Delta Queue from application table

In this document we will be discussing using the delta setup approach using Queued Delta approach only.

High Level Steps to Set-up delta Process for LO extractors

1. Delete Setup table
2. Initialization at BW side with data transfer
3. Filling up set-up tables
4. Transferring Setup Table data to BW by Full repair request
5. Setting up delta jobs in R/3
User Lock out is not required we first load data to DSO with an overwrite option for all the key figures. Any
Process chains already running for the same load should be stopped
One another approach could be
1. Delete Setup table
2. Fill Setup table
3. Initialization at BW side without data transfer
4. Transferring Setup Table data to BW with Full Repair
5. Setting up delta jobs in R/3
User Lock out is not required we first load data to DSO with an overwrite option for all the key figures . Any
Process chains already running for the same load should be stopped
Both of the above approaches are similar in terms of navigation, we have tried to define 1st approach of the
above 2

Delete Data from Setup Table and Queues

Go to SAP source system (SAP R/3 or Equivalent) . Enter the code T-code SBIW

Navigate to path as shown in screen shot in Fig1 below

Open Setup tables

This can also be executed with the help of T-code LBWG and data can be deleted for respective application

Click on execute and press F4

A confirmation box will open. Click on Yes to proceed

Fig 3

Go to LBWQ (outbound queue), select the relevant extract queue and delete data from delta
queue. Check if there is a outbound queue already there ( If generated during various testing phases
before Go-Live)

Fig 4

Go to RSA7 (delta queue), select same table and delete data from delta queue ( If generated
during various testing phases before Go-Live)

Create InfoPackage for Initialization

Go to SAP BW /BI Enter the T-code RSA1 and within that to equivalent DSO. Create a new
Infopackage

Go to the tab Update and set Update Mode as Initialization with Data Transfer

Fig 8

Go to the tab Schedule and Start the job. (Note: You will have to save the info package).. So data
from setup table will be Loaded to the respective DSO

Load Setup Tables and Queues

Go to SAP Source System and enter the T-code RSA7. There should be one successfully message
against your initialization

Fig 10

If you are able to see this message, start filling setup table. (Note: Use the code SBIW)

Now we have to load from Outbound queue to delta queue {RSA7}. Go to LBWE and click on Job
Control

Create InfoPackage for Repair and Delta Load

Go to DBW or equivalent. Enter the T-code RSA1 and create another infopackage

Fig 23

Click on Scheduler and select Repair Full Request

Fig 24

Now create another info package for delta load. Set Update Mode as delta load. You can use this
in process chains for normal loading.
