C Uninstalling ODI SAP Components

This appendix describes how to uninstall ODI components from your SAP system.

In case of upgrading to a newer ODI SAP Connector release or for permanently removing ODI connectivity, please follow the steps described in this section.

Please note that this will delete ALL components including generated extractor programs.

This appendix includes the following sections:

Updating ODI SAP Components

During first-time installation the RKM installs some ODI objects into the SAP system. This installation consists of two parts: some base objects and some RFCs. When the RKM options UPLOAD_ABAP_BASE and UPLOAD_ABAP_CODE are both set to true, the base objects and the RFCs are installed. Such full installation requires that no ODI SAP objects are installed in the SAP system. See section Uninstalling ODI SAP Components if needed.

If the ODI objects installed into your SAP systems have been installed by RKM SAP ERP v32 or later / RKM SAP BW v23 or later, there is no need for reinstalling the base objects and it is sufficient to update just the RFCs. Reinstalling the RFCs is achieved by executing a reverse engineering run with RKM option UPLOAD_ABAP_BASE set to false and RKM option UPLOAD_ABAP_CODE set to true.

Uninstalling ODI SAP Components

To upgrade to a newer ODI SAP Connector release or to permanently remove the ODI connectivity:

  1. Start the SAP GUI.

  2. Connect to the SAP systems you want to uninstall.

  3. Go to the transaction SE80.

  4. Select the package or development class option from the drop down box.

  5. Enter ZODI_RKM_PCKG in the package or development class field. For older installations the package name is ZODIBW_PCKG.

  6. Right-click the ZODI_RKM_PCKG object below the object name tab.

  7. Select Delete in the drop down menu and delete the development class.

    If it does not allow deleting the development class individually, delete all the objects one by one and then delete the development class.

  8. Go to transaction SE10. Select Modifiable and Workbench Requests. Click Display.

  9. Select the transport requests which have the ODI Objects and Release them.

  10. Now repeat the steps 3 to 7 to delete Development Class.

  11. Go to transaction SE01. Select Modifiable and Workbench Requests. Click Display. Release the Transport Request which has ZODI_RKM_PCKG.

  12. Repeat Step 4 to 11 for package ZODI_LKM_PCKG. This step applies only to the installations done by RKM SAP ERP v32 or later.
