SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse / / BW-BCT-LO - Logistics - General
Logistics Extractors Data Flow from LBWQ or SMQ1 to RSA7 in ECC and Delta Extraction in
BI
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to explain the data f low process f rom ECC to BI/BW, talking about LBWQ - Logistics Queue Overview, its relation to SMQ1 Outbound Queue, and RSA7 - BW Delta Queue
Monitor and Data Loads in BI/BW.
Overview
Af ter reading this article, you will know the concepts and how the data/records will transf er f rom one layer to another layer and f inally how it will f low into the BI/BW system using Delta Loads.
Concepts
SMQ1: qRFC Monitor f or the outbound queue, we use this transaction to monitor the status of the LUWs in the outbound queue and restart any hanging queues manually.
LBWQ: This is a transaction that does nothing but calling SMQ1 f or queues MCEX* skipping the selection screen.
RSA7: BW Delta Queue Monitor, we use this to see transf erred data (delta) f or a DataSource and a Target system.
LBWE: LO Data Extraction: Customizing Cockpit. Here we can activate/deactivate extraction, maintain extract structures and change update mode f or each logistics application.
Live Scenario Enabling queued delta
We want to know how the qRFC Monitor f or the outbound queue (SMQ1) and BW Delta Queue (RSA7) work f or delta records. In this example we will use DataSource 2LIS_03_BF (and 2LIS_03_UM). We
assume that Init loads were already executed f or the extractors and we are ready to go f or delta loads in BW.
First, we set the relevant applications Update mode to Queued Delta. See the below screen.
Go to LBWEand set Update Mode to Queued Delta:
Check outbound queue
If there are already posted or changed documents related to Inventory Controlling Application 03, they will appear in the outbound queue LBWQ, as can be seen in the screenshot below.
If there are no posted/changed documents, you can post or change any, just to create an entry in LBWQ. This can be done in transaction MB1C f or example.
Check BW Delta queue
Now check transaction RSA7 BW Delta queue Monitor.
Here we can see number 2 under Total in the delta queue:
To see the entries select the DataSource and click on Display data entries Icon.
Select Delta Update and execute.
Nothing is shown here, despite there were 2 records under Total in RSA7 initial screen.
Now select Delta repetition in the Display data entries screen and execute:
You can see 408 entries in Delta Repetition.
Run the V3 update job
Now, run the V3 job f rom LBWE, to send the documents f rom the outbound queue to the delta queue. Dont f orget to set the job to run immediately.
You can f ind the New Job is Scheduled on the status bar, so our V3 is started.
Check if the job finished successfully
The job should end shortly. You can f ind its status in SM37, with job name LIS-BW*:
See the job status, it is f inished.
Check outbound queue again
Now lets go back to LBWQ and see the queue. Notice that we cant f ind MCEX03, because af ter executing V3 job, all data records moved f rom Outbound queue to Delta queue, that is, f rom LBWQ to RSA7.
Check BW Delta queue again
In RSA7, we can see that the Total has increased f rom 2 to 3. Now display the entries f or the extractor in question.
In the update mode, select Delta update and execute:
Now we can see 99 records, where bef ore it was 0:
Come back and select Delta Repetition and execute.
Here you can f ind totally 507 records. How? Earlier we have 408 records, now 99 records af ter V3 job, so totally 507 records.
Now go to BI/BW System and execute DELTA Inf o Package f or 2LIS_03_BF DataSource.
You can see 99 records in PSA. See the below screen.
