new source system

[phil_moh]

We've just copied the BW Production system onto a new server (Test BW).

The BW Production is pointing to Production ECC6.

We're have created a new RFC in the Test BW, which point to Test ECC system.

We have also perform the source system conversion via BDLS.

In RSA1 ->Source System, I can see name of the source system has been changed to Test ECC6.

However, when I right click on Source System ->Connection Parameter, I can see that

the Source System is still linked to the old RFC which is pointing to the Production ECC6.

How can I change this RFC so that it is pointing to the new RFC that we just created?

Please help, thank you.

maintain new rfc connection in sm59

[phil_moh]

we've maintain the new RFC.

I then deleted the old RFC.

Now if I right-click on the Source System -> Para Connection, it is using the RFC that I created.

Question:

1) In BW, I have created a new RFC that point to ECC

2) In ECC, I have created a new RFC that point to BW

3) In BW, if i do the data extraction, I will be using the RFC created in Step 1 and logon into ECC. But how does the system know that we should use the RFC that I created in Step 2 to bring back the data from ECC into BW? Where is link?

Please advise, thank you.

ECC will have one RFC pointing to BW.so the system automatically knows which connection to use. So guess, you have deleted the old rfc in ECC and created new.

[phil_moh]

Yes, I have deleted the old RFC.

Now in the RSA1 ->Source System, when I click on the Restore, I have a screen to enter the Background user.

Why the field Background user in source system is always defaulted as BWREMOTE?

I have created a new user call BWBKGUS in source system and used this in the RFC also.

How can we change so that it will default as BWBKGUS?

Please help.

yes

[phil_moh]

In that case, I might just have replicated those Datasource that I do not want!!!

How can I delete this from the RSA1 ->Source System -> now?

Please help.

[Former Member]

you have to delete it manually..

[phil_moh]

but exactly how?

[Former Member]

right click -> delete

[phil_moh]

Ok, I have done that.

I have another serious problem:

1) In RSA1 ->Source System, when I do the Restore, it prompt me for the backgournd user and password.

2) I enter background user and password, and click continue.

3) Then the logon screen (ECC6) appeared. I enter background user again and click enter to logon into ECC. Then I have the following message:

RFC destination already exists in source system Do you want to use this destination, check, or cancel source system connection?

4)

I choose "Use".

4) Then I have the following message:

Connection EA is used in the ECCCLNT060
source system as a connection DBWCLNT060 to BW.


Do you want to delete this connection in the source system?
Connection Is Restored After It Has Been Deleted Successfully

I choosed "Do not Delete"

I can't perform the Restore. But I can do data loading. What's the problem?

[Former Member]

if you want to restore, you have to choose the delete option..

[phil_moh]

What does it mean?

Why do I need to delete it?

What exactly will be deleted?

Little background:

I copied this BW from Production BW, which is pointing to Production ECC.

Now we have do the BDLS to convert the logical system in BW, and connect to Dev ECC.

When I restore, will it retore to Production ECC again???

confuse.
