Logistics Extractors Data Flow from LBWQ or SMQ1 to RSA7 in ECC and Delta Extraction in
BI

Added by Rafael Schaffer, last edited by Rafael Schaffer on Feb 01, 2012

Purpose
The purpose of this document is to explain the data flow process from 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
After reading this article, you w ill know the concepts and how the data/records w ill transfer from one layer to another layer and finally how it w ill flow into the BI/BW system using Delta Loads.

Concepts
SMQ1: qRFC Monitor for the outbound queue, w e 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 for queues MCEX* skipping the selection screen.

RSA7: BW Delta Queue Monitor, w e use this to see transferred data (delta) for a DataSource and a Target system.

LBWE: LO Data Extraction: Customizing Cockpit. Here w e can activate/deactivate extraction, maintain extract structures and change update mode for each logistics application.

Live Scenario Enabling queued delta

We w ant to know how the qRFC Monitor for the outbound queue (SMQ1) and BW Delta Queue (RSA7) w ork for delta records. In this example w e w ill use DataSource 2LIS_03_BF (and 2LIS_03_UM). We
assume that Init loads w ere already executed for the extractors and w e are ready to go for delta loads in BW.

First, w e set the relevant applications Update mode to Queued Delta. See the below screen.

Go to LBWE and set Update Mode to Queued Delta:

Check outbound queue

If there are already posted or changed documents related to Inventory Controlling Application 03, they w ill 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 for example.

Check BW Delta queue

Now check transaction RSA7 BW Delta queue Monitor.

Here w e 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 show n here, despite there w ere 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 from LBWE, to send the documents from the outbound queue to the delta queue. Dont forget to set the job to run immediately.

You can find 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 find its status in SM37, w ith job name LIS-BW*:
See the job status, it is finished.

Check outbound queue again

Now lets go back to LBWQ and see the queue. Notice that w e cant find MCEX03, because after executing V3 job, all data records moved from Outbound queue to Delta queue, that is, from LBWQ to RSA7.
Check BW Delta queue again
In RSA7, w e can see that the Total has increased from 2 to 3. Now display the entries for the extractor in question.

In the update mode, select Delta update and execute:

Now w e can see 99 records, w here before it w as 0:

Come back and select Delta Repetition and execute.

Here you can find totally 507 records. How ? Earlier w e have 408 records, now 99 records after V3 job, so totally 507 records.

Now go to BI/BW System and execute DELTA Info Package for 2LIS_03_BF DataSource.

You can see 99 records in PSA. See the below screen.
