1 Overview of Oracle Data Integrator SAP BW Knowledge Modules

This chapter provides an overview of Oracle Data Integrator SAP BW Knowledge Modules.

Overview

The Oracle Data Integrator SAP BW Knowledge Modules provide integration from SAP BW systems using SAP JCo libraries. This set of KMs has the following features:

- Reads SAP data from SAP BW system

- Loads this SAP data into Oracle / non-Oracle Staging Area

- Reverse-engineers metadata of warehouse and proposes a tree browser to pick up only the required metadata

This adapter includes two knowledge modules:

- RKM SAP BW: Its main role is to perform customized reverse-engineering of SAP BW data targets into ODI datastores (Models). The SAP BW RKM is in charge of connecting to the SAP BW System, which provides the SAP BW data target's metadata information, and transforming and writing the resulting metadata into Oracle Data Integrator's repository.

- The LKM SAP BW to Oracle (SQLLDR)/LKM SAP BW to SQL connects to SAP BW and retrieves data targets defined in the SAP Model. It is used in the mappings. The LKM is in charge of loading source data from a SAP BW System to an Oracle/non-Oracle staging area.

2 Setting Up the Environment

This chapter describes how to set up your SAP BW environment for use with Oracle Data Integrator.

This chapter includes the following sections:

- Before You Begin

- Installing Oracle Data Integrator

- Installing and Configuring the Oracle DB Target

- Installing and Configuring JCo

- Configuring Oracle Data Integrator

Before You Begin

Before you begin, consider the following:

- System Requirements and Certification

- Setting Up the SAP System

- Gathering SAP Connection Information

Caution:
All three sub-sections below must be followed and completed successfully before any parts of the ODI SAP Adapter can be used or tested.
Please take into account that these SAP related tasks usually take some time, as they need to be scheduled with your SAP administration team.

All these activities must be completed before proceeding to the ODI related installation activities.

System Requirements and Certification

Before performing any installation you should read the system requirements and certification documentation to ensure that your environment meets the minimum installation requirements for the products you are installing.

The Oracle Data Integrator requirements are listed in the Installing and Configuring Oracle Data Integrator.

The requirements specific to the Oracle Data Integrator SAP ABAP - BW Adapter are:

- Oracle Data Integrator 11.1.1.7.0 with Patch 20235601 (ODI SAP Adapter v37) or later ODI 11g version, or Oracle Data Integrator 12.1.3.0.0 with Patch 19561419 (ODI SAP Adapter v37) or later ODI 12c version.

- A Java Connector (JCo) version compatible with adapter must be used. The list of supported JCo versions is available in the Compatibility Matrix available from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). A minimum version of JCo 3.0.2 is required.

- A JVM version compatible with both Oracle Data Integrator and JCo must be used. A minimum version of JVM 1.5 is required due to JCo pre-requisites.

- The connector supports two transfer modes for transferring data from SAP system to the ODI agent: data transfer using a Shared Directory and data transfer through FTP. For details and restrictions see "File Transfer Considerations" of Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator. Depending on the chosen file transfer mode the following requirements must be met:

- Data transfer through a Shared Directory (recommended transfer method) The LKM SAP BW to Oracle (SQLLDR) requires a folder that is shared between the SAP system and the ODI agent. The SAP application server transfers the data by writing it out into a folder that is accessible from the SAP system and the ODI agent machine. This is typically done by sharing a folder of the ODI agent machine with the SAP system. Note that the shared folder does not necessarily have to be located on the ODI agent machine. A shared folder on a third machine is also possible, as long as the shared folder is accessible to both the ODI agent machine and the SAP system.

Note:
For security reasons, the SAP folders should not be shared with the ODI agent. Share only folders of the ODI agent machine with the SAP system.

The shared folder must be accessible to SAP system and not just to the underlying operating system. This means that the folder needs to be declared in SAP transaction AL11 and the folder opens successfully in AL11.

- Data transfer through FTP LKM SAP BW to Oracle (SQLLDR) requires a FTP server to upload data from the SAP BW system. This data is either read locally by the agent executing the mapping (when this agent runs on the FTP server machine), or remotely (when this agent is located on a different machine than the FTP server). This FTP server must be accessible over the network from both the SAP BW machine and the agent machine.

- For LKM SAP BW to Oracle (SQLLDR) only: SQLLoader is required on the machine running the agent. SQLLoader is used for loading data extracted from SAP BW system to the Oracle staging area.

Setting Up the SAP System

The SAP Adapter integrates with the SAP system through some SAP RFCs. These components need to be installed by the SAP Administration team. Please ask your SAP administrator to perform the installation steps described in section Installing ODI SAP Components and then the validation steps described in section Validating the ODI SAP Setup of the Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.

Gathering SAP Connection Information

In order to connect to the SAP BW system, you must request the following information from your SAP administrators:

- SAP BW System IP Address or Hostname: IP address/ Hostname is the technical name given to the host on which SAP is running.

- SAP User: SAP User is the unique user name given to a user for logging on the SAP BW System.

- SAP Password: Case-sensitive password used by the user to log in.

- SAP Language: Code of the language used when logging in For example: EN for English, DE for German.

- SAP Client Number: The three-digit number assigned to the self-contained unit which is called Client in SAP. A Client can be a training, development, testing or production client or represent different divisions in a large company.

- SAP System Number: The two-digit number assigned to a SAP instance which is also called Web Application Server or WAS.

- SAP System ID: The three-character, unique identifier of a SAP system in a landscape.

- SAP Transport Layer Name: This string uniquely identifies a transport layer in a SAP landscape. It allows ODI to create transport requests for later deployment in SAP. Even though there is a default value here, this transport layer name must be provided by your SAP Basis team. Not doing so may result in significant delays during installation.

- SAP BW Version: BW 3.5 or BI 7.0.

- SAP Character Set: The character set is only required if your SAP system is not a UNICODE system. For a complete list of character sets, see "Locale Data" in the Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide. For example, EE8ISO8859P2 for Croatian Data. For UNICODE systems, use UTF8.

Note:
All the connection data listed above (except SAP SNC Connection Properties and SAP Router String) are mandatory and should be requested from the SAP Administrators. You may consider requesting support during connection setup from your SAP administrators.

Installing Oracle Data Integrator

Before starting with this project, you need to install and configure Oracle Data Integrator. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator and the Installing and Configuring Oracle Data Integrator for more information.

Installing and Configuring the Oracle DB Target

This project uses an Oracle database engine as the target and as the staging area for the mappings. You can download for example an Oracle XE database from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). Install and configure this database.

This project targets an Oracle table that can be created using the following script:

Installing and Configuring JCo

The SAP adapter uses Java Connector (JCo) to connect to the SAP system. JCo must be configured before proceeding with the project.

To install and configure JCo:

1. Download a supported JCo version for your configuration from http://service.sap.com/connectors. Check the supported JCo version in the Certification Matrix available at Oracle Technology Network. Note that a minimum version of JCo 3.0.2 is required.

Notes:

- Choose the SAP JCo package matching your operating system and your system architecture (32/64Bit). E.g. if you are running ODI inside a 32-Bit JVM, you must download the 32-Bit SAP JCo, even if the CPU and OS are 64-Bit. Mixing 32-bit and 64-bit architecture is not possible due to native libraries required by SAP JCo and will result in connection failure.

- odi.conf contains the JDK path used for ODI Studio.

2. Unzip the appropriate distribution package into an arbitrary directory <sapjco-install-path>.

3. Follow the installation instructions in <sapjco-install-path>/javadoc/installation.html for the respective platform.

4. Copy sapjco3.jar and sapjco3.dll:
For ODI 10g: Copy sapjco3.jar and sapjco3.dll (or respective binary like libsapjco3.so) into the oracledi/drivers directory.

For ODI 11g: Copy sapjco3.jar and sapjco3.dll (or respective binary like libsapjco3.so) into the <ODI_HOME>/odi_misc directory (ODI Studio) and into the <ODI_HOME>/oracledi/agent/drivers directory (Standalone Agent) and into the <WLS_DOMAIN>/lib directory (JEE Agent).

For ODI 12c: Copy sapjco3.jar and sapjco3.dll (or respective binary like libsapjco3.so) into the <ODI_HOME>/odi/sdk/lib directory (ODI Studio, ODI Standalone Agent) and into the <WLS_DOMAIN>/lib directory (JEE Agent).

5. Restart ODI Studio and any agents.

6. Check the JCo installation. This will be also checked later in this guide.

Configuring Oracle Data Integrator

Perform the following steps to configure Oracle Data Integrator:

1. Add the Open Tool

Add the Open Tool

The complete process of installing and adding an Open Tool to ODI is described in Oracle Data Integrator Tool Reference. This section details only the SAP ABAP specific steps.

1. Connect to Designer.

2. Select File > Add/Remove Open Tools…

3. In the Add/remove Open Tools window, enter the following name in the Open Tool class name field: oracle.odi.sap.km._OdiSapAbapExecuteStoppable.

4. Click Add Open Tool.

5. The Open Tool appears as shown below.

6. Click OK.

3 Configuring the Topology

This chapter describes how to configure the topology by using a practical example.

This project demonstrates how to extract data from the SAP BW data targets listed below:

- ODS/DSO:
Source data target 0BBP_PO from SAP BW is the ODS containing vendor information.

Target W_PURCH_DS is a table in an Oracle database that needs to be loaded from the SAP BW Sources. This table contains purchase order info.

- Info Object:
Source data target 0CREDITOR is the Info object from SAP BW containing Account number of supplier/vendor.

Target W_ACCNT_VENDR_DS is a table in an Oracle database that needs to be loaded from the SAP BW Sources. This table contains account number info of supplier/vendor.

- Info Object Hierarchy:
Source data target 0GL_ACCOUNT is the Info object from SAP BW containing General Ledger Information.

Target W_GL_ACCOUNT_HIER_DS is a table in an Oracle database that needs to be loaded from the SAP BW Sources. This table contains account number info of supplier/vendor.

- Info Cube:
Source data target 0FIAP_C20 is the Info cube from SAP BW containing vendor balances.

Target W_VENDR_BAL_DS is a table in an Oracle database that needs to be loaded from the SAP BW Sources. This table contains vendor balances.

- Info Cube & related Info Objects:
Source data targets 0FIAP_C20 and 0CREDITOR are the Info Cube & Info Object respectively both containing the vendor related information.

Target W_VENDER_CUBE_OBJ_DS is a table in an Oracle database that needs to be loaded from the SAP BW Sources as per join condition.

- Open Hub:
Source data target ZOHD_SALE is an Open Hub destination name and its associated table is /BIC/OHZOHD_SALE which contains the sales information.

Target W_OPENHUB_SALES_DS is a table in an Oracle database that needs to be loaded from the SAP BW Sources. This table contains sales information.

- Delta Extraction:
For delta Extraction you need to pass the value for two KM options i.e. FIRST_REQ_ID and LAST_REQ_ID from any above said data targets except Info Object after full load. The FIRST_REQ_ID is the start point of Delta Extraction and LAST_REQ_ID is the end point of Delta Extraction.

This chapter includes the following sections:

- Configuring the File Server for SAP ABAP

- Configuring the Target Data Server

- Configuring the SAP Source Server

Configuring the File Server for SAP ABAP

Perform the following operations after installing or upgrading your Oracle Data Integrator version:

1. Connect to Topology Manager.

2. If this SAP ABAP technology does not exist in your Master Repository, import the SAP ABAP technology in Synonym INSERT_UPDATE mode from the /impexp folder.

3. Perform an upgrade of the Master Repository. Refer to the Installing and Configuring Oracle Data Integrator for more information on the Master Repository upgrade process.

4. In Topology Manager, open the JavaBeanShell technology and check on the Language tab that the JYTHON language is listed. If not, add it.

5. Create a File data server pointing to an existing FTP/file server into which the extraction file will be pushed from SAP and picked up for SQL*Loader. For use with FTP transfer, set the following parameters. For use with shared folder transfer, the settings on the data server do not matter.

- Host (Data Server): FTP server IP host name or IP address.

- User: Username to log into FTP server.

- Password: Password for the user.

6. For use with "LKM SAP BW to SQL" these additional parameters must be configured:

- JDBC driver class: com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.file.FileDriver

- JDBC URL: jdbc:snps:dbfile?ENCODING=UTF8
The above URL is for SAP UNICODE systems. For non-UNICODE systems, please see details on ENCODING parameter in "Creating a File Data Server" of Connectivity and Knowledge Modules Guide for Oracle Data Integrator. The encoding chosen on this URL must match the code page used by the SAP Application Server.

7. In this File data server create a Physical Schema representing the folder in the File server to which the extraction file will be pushed. For use with FTP transfer, see details below. For use with shared folder transfer and for more details, see "Transfer using a Shared Directory (recommended)" of Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator:

- Data Schema: Path on the FTP server to upload or download extraction files from the remote location. This path is used when uploading extraction files from the SAP BW system into the FTP server. It is also used by a remote agent to download the extraction files. Note that this path must use slashes and must end with a slash character.

- Work Schema: Local path on the FTP server's machine. This path is used by an agent installed on this machine to access the extraction files without passing via the FTP server. This access method is used if the FTP_TRANSFER_METHOD parameter of the LKM SAP BW to Oracle (SQLLDR)/ LKM SAP BW to SQL is set to NONE. As Work Schema is an OS file name, slashes/ backslashes should be used according to OS.
Path names given on Data and Work schemas are not necessarily the same: the FTP service may provide access to a FTP directory named /sapfiles while the files can be stored locally in c:\inetpub\ftproot\sapfiles.

Refer to "File Transfer Considerations" of Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.

8. If the corresponding Logical Schema called File Server for SAP ABAP does not exist yet, create it. This Logical Schema name is fixed and must be mapped to the Physical Schema created in the previous step.

Configuring the Target Data Server

This section describes how to setup an Oracle Data Server. Please use respective settings when configuring a non-Oracle Target Data Server for use with LKM SAP BW to SQL.

1. Connect to Topology Manager.

2. In the Physical Architecture tree view, expand the Technologies node and select the Oracle technology.

3. Right-click and select New Data Server.

4. Enter the data server Definition as shown below:

5. Select the JDBC tab, and enter the JDBC connection information to your data server as shown below:

Make sure to change the URL to match your Oracle instance configuration.

6. Click Test Connection to test the connection to this data server.

7. From the File menu, click Save.

8. Right-click the data server you created and select New Physical Schema.

9. In the Physical Schema windows that appears, select the ODI_SAP_DEMO for both Schema and Work Schema.
If you already have a Work Schema for ODI defined for this data server, you can use it instead of the ODI_SAP_DEMO Schema.

10. Go to the Context tab.

11. Click Add and enter in the Logical Schema field the value ODI_SAP_DEMO.

12. From the File menu, click Save.

Configuring the SAP Source Server

The following topics describe how to configure the SAP source server:

- Configuring the Data Server

- Configuring the Logical Schema

Configuring the Data Server

1. In the Physical Architecture tree view, expand the Technologies node, select the SAP ABAP technology.

2. Right-click and select New Data Server.

3. Enter the data server definition. Set the parameters for this data server as follows:

- Name: SAP_BW. The name of the data server as it will appear in ODI.

- Host (Data Server): SAP BW System IP Address or Hostname.

- User: SAP User, as provided by the SAP Administrator.

- Password: This user's SAP Password. This password is case-sensitive.

4. Set the Flexfield values for this data server in the Flexfields tab:

- SAP Language: Code of the language used when logging in. For example EN for English, DE for German.

- SAP Client Number: The three-digit number assigned to the self-contained unit which is called Client in SAP. A Client can be a training, development, testing or production client or represent different divisions in a large company.

- SAP System Number: The two-digit number assigned to a SAP instance which is also called Web Application Server or WAS.

- SAP System ID: The three-character, unique identifier of a SAP system in a landscape.

Reverse-Engineering the SAP BW Source Datastores

To reverse-engineer the SAP BW Source data targets you need to perform the following tasks:

1. Creating the Data Model

2. Validating the SAP Connection

3. Starting the Reverse-Engineering Process

This section also includes the following topics:

- Using the SAP Metadata Browser

- Reverse-Engineering Without GUI

Creating the Data Model

1. In the Models tree view, click New Model.

2. In the Definition tab, select SAP ABAP technology and the Logical Schema previously created (in our example it is the LOGICAL_SAP_BW Logical Schema ).

3. In the Reverse Engineer tab:

1. Select Customized option.

2. Select the Global context.

3. Select the RKM SAP Connection Test you have imported in the SAP BW Demo project.

Validating the SAP Connection

1. In the Models tree view, open the SAP BW Source Model.

2. Click Reverse Engineer and confirm the start of the reverse-engineering process. This process runs two tests:

- Establish a test connection to the SAP BW system and

- Validate the proper setup of SAP JCo by displaying the About dialog.

3. In a few seconds, you should see the SAP JCo-About dialog as shown here:

Please verify the JCo version number (see "System Requirements and Certification" for more details) and verify that a path for the JCo Library is given (.dll for Windows). If this is not the case or you see any error message in this about dialog, please review the SAP JCo installation, as described in your SAP JCo package, and run this test again.

Note:
Closing the JCo-About-Dialog will also close ODI.

4. Once you have validated SAP JCo installation, open ODI Operator.

5. In the Operator, expand the Reverse-Engineering session down to the task level.

6. Verify whether the task "Test SAP Connection" has been executed successfully. If not, view the task details to identify the connection problem. The output of this task must contain Successfully connected to SAP System. If not, the connection test has failed and the connection problem must be analyzed before you continue.
Do not continue until you have successfully validated the SAP connection!

Note:
If you want to validate the SAP connectivity independent of ODI, please see A2. SAP Stand-Alone Connection Test in Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.

Starting the Reverse-Engineering Process

To start the reverse-engineering process of the SAP BW datastores:

1. In the Models tree view, open the SAP BW Source Model.

2. In the Reverse Engineer tab:

1. Select the Customized option.

2. Select the Global context.

3. Select the RKM SAP BW you have imported in the SAP BW Demo project.

4. Set the USE_GUI KM option to Yes.

5. Set other parameters according to your SAP configuration. See the Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator for more information on the RKM options.

4. From the File menu, click Save to save your changes.

5. Click Reverse Engineer to start the reverse-engineering process.

6. Click OK.

7. The Sessions Started Dialog is displayed.

8. Click OK.

9. For first time RKM use only: Validate in Operator that the session is now in status running. If session has failed, please validate settings. Do not move on until all installation steps have been completed successfully.

Using the SAP Metadata Browser

As you have set the USE_GUI option to Yes, the RKM displays in the SAP BW Metadata Browser the SAP objects organized in the tree view as shown below.

Note:
In case that the below dialog does not show up, see ODI Operator and ODI Logs for details.
Refer to "Log Files," in Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator for more details.

The Tree View

The SAP BW Data targets are organized into a tree view. Only the SAP BW Data targets available in the SAP BW system are displayed. By expanding the tree view, you can see Info Cubes, Info Objects, ODS/DSO, Open Hub, and select those that you want to reverse-engineer.

Note that only the data targets selected in the tree view are reverse-engineered.

The Search Panel

The Search option group allows you search specific objects in the browser, based on:

- Info Cube Name

- Info Object Name

- ODS/DSO

- Open Hub

For the example project for Info Cube, the data target 0FIAP_C20 is used:

1. Enter 0FIAP_C20 in the Name field.

2. Select the InfoCube data target.

3. Click Search to find the object to reverse-engineer. The results are highlighted in the tree view.

4. Click Reverse.

5. Oracle Data Integrator starts the reverse-engineering process on the selected data target. The reverse-engineered data targets appear under the Model.

6. Perform steps 1 to 5 to reverse-engineer the following objects:

1. InfoCube 0SD_C04

2. InfoObject 0SOLD_TO

3. InfoObject 0CREDITOR

4. InfoObject 0GL_ACCOUNT

5. ODS/DSO 0BBP_PO

6. Open Hub destination ZOHD_SALE (/BIC/OHZOHD_SALE)

Reverse-Engineering Without GUI

If you want to perform a reverse-engineering without using the SAP BW Metadata Browser, you set the corresponding parameters in the SAP BW KM . For example, for Info Cube, enter the following parameters in the SAP BW KM options:

- USE_GUI: No

- INFOCUBE_NAME : 0FIAP_C20

With this configuration, the Info Cube data target will be reverse-engineered without displaying the SAP BW Metadata Browser.

By using the appropriate KM options, you can also select a filter for the reversed data targets based on for example an Info object, or a ODS/DSO, or an Open Hub table.

Refer to the Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator for more information on the RKM options.

Note:
It is not possible to view the data in the SAP BW data targets from Oracle Data Integrator.

What happens when you reverse-engineer SAP BW data targets?

The ODI SAP Components installed into the SAP BW system during adapter installation (Section Installing ODI SAP Components in Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator) provide a few RFCs giving access to BW metadata. With these RFCs the Oracle Data Integrator is able to retrieve the SAP BW metadata and to display it in the SAP BW Metadata Browser. The selected metadata is then reverse-engineered from SAP BW into the Oracle Data Integrator repository. The repository only contains the description of the SAP BW metadata, and no data at all.

In addition to the data targets definitions organized and enriched with user-friendly information, the keys definitions are also retrieved. The model appearing in Oracle Data Integrator shows all the information required for performing integration tasks on the SAP BW Model.

1. In the Sources area of the Logical diagram drag the IOPK_0FIAP_C202_0CREDITOR_PK_VENDOR attribute from the Info Cube 0FIAP_C20 Vendor Balances datastore onto the VENDOR attribute in the Info Object's main table 0CREDITOR Vendor. This defines the first join on the Vendor Key identifier, as shown below:

2. In the Properties panel, you can see the join clause: 0FIAP_C20.IOPK_0FIAP_C202_0CREDITOR_PK_VENDOR=0CREDITOR.VENDOR

3. In the Properties panel, select Generate ANSI Syntax and Join Order options, and make sure that Execute on Hint option is set to Source as shown below:

4. Make sure that table number of 0FIAP_C20 is smaller than that of 0CREDITOR. In 1:n relationships the parent data target has to be the first in a join.

5. Change join between 0FIAP_C20 and 0CREDITOR to left outer join (All rows from 0FIAP_C20 and matching ones from 0CREDITOR.

6. Change join between 0CREDITOR and TXT_0CREDITOR to left outer join (All rows from 0CREDITOR and matching ones from TXT_0CREDITOR.

Create the Mappings

To create the mappings of the target datastore:

1. Select the COMP_CODE attribute from the target datastore.

2. Drag the IOPK_0FIAP_C201_0COMP_CODE_PK_COMP_CODE attribute from the 0FIAP_C20 Vendor Balances source data target onto the COMP_CODE attribute of the target datastore.

3. Make sure that the Execute on Hint option is set to Source. The mapping should look as shown below:

4. Repeat this operation to perform the following simple mappings:

- W_VENDER_CUBE_OBJ_DS.VENDOR = 0FIAP_C20.IOPK_0FIAP_C202_0CREDITOR_PK_VENDOR

- W_VENDER_CUBE_OBJ_DS.GL_ACCOUNT = 0FIAP_C20.IOPK_0FIAP_C202_0RC_ACCOUNT_PK_GL_ACCOUNT

- W_VENDER_CUBE_OBJ_DS.SALES_FOR_PERIOD = 0FIAP_C20.KF_0SALES

- W_VENDER_CUBE_OBJ_DS.CUM_BALANCE = 0FIAP_C20.KF_0BALANCE

- W_VENDER_CUBE_OBJ_DS.PLANT = 0CREDITOR.PLANT

- W_VENDER_CUBE_OBJ_DS.MEDIUM_DESC = TXT_0CREDITOR.TXTMD

Define the Mapping Flow

To define the mapping flow:

1. Select the Physical diagram. The Flow diagram looks as shown below:

2. In the target group, select the access point for the source group that contains both the Info Cube and Info Object tables. This source group represents the source dataset made up of two joined SAP BW data targets.

3. In the Property panel, under Loading Knowledge Module, select LKM SAP BW to Oracle (SQLLDR) or LKM SAP BW to SQL from the Loading Knowledge Module drop-down list.

4. In the Property panel, select the target Oracle database, which is also used as the staging area for this mapping.

Define Joins Between Sources (Info Cube & Info Object)

The join between InfoCube and InfoObject will automatically be added by ODI. - There may be situations when more than one join shows up. E.g. when the same InfoObject is referenced more than once in different characteristics. Such unwanted extra joins have to be removed.

The final join setup with its join expression should look like this:

All InfoObject joins for retrieving navigation attributes must be executed on *staging* area. Not on source:

Create the Mappings

To create the mappings of the target datastore:

Running the Mapping

This section contains the following topics:

- Running the Mapping

- Review the Mapping Execution

- Review the Resulting Data

Running the Mapping

To run the mapping:

1. In the Projects tree view, expand the SAP Demo Project

2. Expand the SAP_BW_DataTargets folder.

3. Expand the Mappings node.

4. Select the InfoCube_SAP_BW_VendorBal.W_VENDR_BAL_DS mapping.

5. Right-click and select Run.

6. In the Execution window that appears, click OK.

7. Click OK in the Session Started window.

What happens when you run the mapping?

First, Oracle Data Integrator creates an ABAP program that does the following:

1. It performs the extraction of the data on the SAP BW system. In this example, the extraction will be done on Info Cube source data targets and then returns the resultset in an extraction file.

2. It uploads the extraction file into a FTP data server. This FTP host is specified via the File Logical Schema called File Server for SAP ABAP. This Logical Schema is mapped to a Physical Schema and therefore a data server in the given context. This data server contains the connection information for the FTP host.

Then, the ABAP code is uploaded using the OdiSapAbapExecute tool. The ABAP program is pushed into the SAP Function group given in the SAP_FUNCTION_GROUP_NAME LKM option. This phase can be suppressed by setting the UPLOAD_ABAP_CODE LKM option to No.

The ABAP code is executed also by the OdiSapAbapExecute tool. At the end of the ABAP code execution, the extraction file is available in the FTP host.

The Oracle Data Integrator agent is able to download this extraction file from the FTP host, or directly access it, depending on the FTP_TRANSFER_METHOD specified in the IKM option.

Finally, when the agent accesses the extraction file, it uses SQL*Loader or a JDBC Connection to load this file into the Oracle/non-Oracle staging area. The rest of the integration process takes place within the Oracle/non-Oracle engine.

Review the Mapping Execution

To review the mapping execution:

1. Connect to Operator.

2. In the Operator, select the Session List tree view.

3. Expand the All Executions node in this tree view.

4. The latest session is the first entry of this list.

5. Double click the InfoCube_SAP_BW_VendorBal.W_VENDR_BAL_DS node to see the session details and the number of lines processed.

Review the Resulting Data

To review the resulting data:

1. In the Designer, in the Models tree view, expand the Oracle Target Model.

2. Select the W_VENDR_BAL_DS datastore, right-click and select Data to view the data integrated into the target Oracle table.

3. Repeat the same steps for remaining mappings:

- InfoObject_SAP_BW_VendorAcc.W_ACCNT_VENDR_DS

- ODS_SAP_BW_PurchOrdl.W_PURCH_DS

- InfoCube_InfoObject_join.W_VENDER_CUBE_OBJ_DS

- OpenHub_Sales.W_OPENHUB_SALES_DS

7 Creating a Package for Delta Extraction

This chapter describes how to create a package for delta extraction.

So far we have seen examples of extracting data from BW data targets. The instructions in this chapter explain how the mappings introduced in the previous chapters can be turned into delta extraction mappings.

In delta extraction mappings only the data, which was changed after last extraction, is extracted. Delta extraction mappings are only supported for InfoCubes, ODS/DSO and Open Hub objects, but not for InfoObjects.

This chapter includes the following sections:

- Modify the Mapping Flow

- Creating the MIN_REQUEST_ID Variable

- Creating a Package for Delta Extraction

- Running the Package

Modify the Mapping Flow

The first step is to modify the mapping:

1. Select the desired Mappings.

2. Double click the mapping.

3. Select the Physical diagram.

4. In the target group, select the access point for the source group.

5. In the Property panel, under Loading Knowledge Module, set KM option values for FIRST_REQ_ID and LAST_REQ_ID KM as shown below.

6. From the File menu, click Save and close your mapping.

Creating the MIN_REQUEST_ID Variable

The second step consists of creating an ODI variable that stores the last extracted request ID. This request ID serves as the starting point for the next extraction run:

1. Create a MIN_REQUEST_ID variable to hold the last request id. The MIN_REQUEST_ID variable has to be a numeric variable with a Keep History or Last-value Action as shown below.

2. The value of this variable is updated at the end of the delta extraction package described in the third step. It happens once delta extraction is finished and the MAX REQUEST ID will be fetched from SAP BW system and will be stored into the ODI Variable (MIN_REQUEST_ID). The refresh expression shown here is used to update the variable:

Creating a Package for Delta Extraction

In the third step the building blocks created in the previous steps are put together: Variable and Mappings are arranged into a Package:

1. Open the SAP Demo Project.

2. Create a new Package named SAP Demo.

3. Insert a Declare Variable step to this Package:
Drag and Drop the MIN_REQUEST_ID variable and select the "Declare Variable" step type.

4. Insert a Flow step to this Package:
Drag and drop the Mapping created in the previous sections for InfoCube/ ODS or OpenHub-Extraction in the Package.

5. Insert a Refresh Variable step to this Package.
Drag and Drop the MIN_REQUEST_ID variable and select the "Refresh Variable" step type.

6. Define the step sequence.

1. Define the Refresh Variable step as the First Step.

2. Link it to the Flow step that is the next step upon success.

3. Link the Flow step to the Refresh Variable step that is the next step upon success and the last step in the Package. Add arrows between the variables.

Your Package should look as shown on this screenshot.

Running the Package

To run the Package:

- In the Projects tree view, expand the SAP Demo Project.

- Select the SAP Demo Package.

- Right-click and select Run.

- In the Execution window, click OK.

- In the Session Started window, click OK.

What happens when you execute the delta extraction Package?

First, Oracle Data Integrator initializes the variable MIN_REQUEST_ID with the last historized value (declare variable step). This value is then passed into ABAP extraction program to specify where to start the data extraction. The KM queries the SAP system for the highest assigned request ID. All data between min and max request ID will be extracted (mapping).

After the execution of the mapping the refresh variable step stores the highest request ID into MIN_REQUEST_ID for next extraction run.

8 Going Further with Oracle Data Integrator

This chapter describes what steps to take next with Oracle Data Integrator.

You have now completed a Project extracting data from a SAP BW system.

In this Project, you have:

- Set up the environment and topology to work with SAP BW.

- Created and reverse-engineered a SAP BW data model.

- Created different mappings to load the data from Info Cube, Info Object, ODS/DSO, Info Cube & Info Object join, Open Hub destination table, Delta SAP BW data targets & tables into the Oracle database.

Refer to individual KM options and their descriptions as well as to "Considerations for SAP BW Integration" in "Application Adapters Guide for Oracle Data Integrator" for more information on the SAP BW KM features and options.
